Unsurprisingly, at eight o'clock, the city garrison really sent a troop to clear the way. In order to save manpower, the soldiers who came to clear the road were all superfunction possessors of earth. While they were clearing the way, they erected two low walls about half a man's height in the middle of the road to allow vehicles to pass through, but survivors were repeatedly warned not to cross the low walls. As a result, there would be a special passage in the middle of the road from the wedding venue in Chaoyang all the way to Section C, and from Section C to other sections, and therefore it would not require too much manpower to keep on clearing the way. After the befalling of the doomsday, the military's power was still quite useful, and ordinary people dared not challenge it.
After the way was cleared, guests arrived one after another. Gu Mingxuan and some others were responsible for the reception. The two squads had agreed after discussion that Peak was responsible for welcoming the guests, and Chaoyang settling them. The main venue of the wedding was centered on the stage, and people who had a better relationship with them would be placed close to the stage, while those with less good relationships could only be placed a little behind. Moreover, the stage was also a clear dividing line: from the stage to the entrance and exit was for guests, and between the stage and Chaoyang Community was for the people of Chaoyang itself. This arrangement was also to prevent some people from taking the opportunity today to make trouble. One was never too cautious in the doomsday.
"Chen, Lei, and Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Lei, welcome!"
At the entrance, dozens of cars were approaching from far away. Getting off the first car were Lei Dashan and his wife, Chen Hua and his wife, and their children. Zhou Zeyu, who was responsible for welcoming guests at the entrance, together with Jiang Yuan and others, greeted them warmly. The space superfunction possessors of Chaoyang and Peak who got off the second vehicle were standing on both sides of the road to collect the newly arrived cars into the space so as not to block the road.
"Zhou, Jiang, why are you welcoming the guests yourselves?"
Lei and Chen were carrying their respective child in one arm and holding their wives' hands in the other hand, looking quite at home. Chaoyang and Peak had sent invitations to all the top 20 squads in the base. Some people who had arrived early saw this scene with envious looks. Which superfunction squad didn't want to make friends with Chaoyang and Peak? But it was a pity that although Chaoyang and Peak was not so unapproachable, not everyone could fit in.
"This is Che and Captain Xing's wedding, we have to do it in person, don't we? Now take the wedding cigarettes and candies, and please make yourselves at home."
Zhou Zeyu picked up bundles of cigarettes tied with small bows and thrusted them to their hands, and also two boxes of wedding candies to the two children. It was not much, just to celebrate.
"I'll take the cigarettes, thanks. And you guys don't need to look after us, we can help ourselves."
After giving the gifts, Chen Hua and Lei Dashan laughed and were about to take their squads inside. The venue on the road was already densely packed with tables, but the outer one third of the venue was used for unknown or unfamiliar guests, where tables were densely laid out, with only one aisle left in the middle, while the other two-thirds was for familiar guests and friends, where tables were relatively sparsely laid out, with drinks, cigarettes and snacks like melon seeds and candies prepared in advance on each table.
"Of course not. If Che knows about it, he must kick our asses. Jiang Yuan, you take them inside, and make arrangement for the two squads by the way."
Friends as they were, what ought to be arranged must be arranged. After joking, Zhou Zeyu cast a look at Jiang Yuan, and the latter nodded and gestured to Chen Hua and the others, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Lei, and two ladies, this way please."
"Ha, ha. Look at the courtesy. Fine, let's be guests this time. and let's visit the grooms."
Lei Dashan and Chen Hua laughed. And Zhang Min, who had been so familiar with them for long, suddenly smiled, "Well, Jiang Yuan is also a good man. Do you have a sweetheart? Would you like me to introduce someone to you?"
Jiang Yuan was tall and good-looking, obviously a good gay.
"Er…no, thank you, this way please."
Jiang Yuan stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and nearly forgot how to sway his arms while walking. Zhang Min had wanted to say something more, but stopped by Lei Dashan. Today was the big day for Captain Yun and Captain Xing and some other couples, so he could not let his wife mess up. Zhou Zeyu and the others behind them shuddered unanimously, feeling glad that they were not responsible for taking them in.
"Beep beep…"
The number of people of the two squads was not small, nor was the number of the cars. Before all their cars had been collected, the cars behind them began to honk impatiently. Zhou Zeyu, Kong Jiawen and others frowned. They looked up and saw several military-dedicated Jeeps, the middle among which was a Rolls-Royce extended RV. And they exchange a look with each other: did these people come here to show off?
"No need to hurry, Yongyi, we can take our time. Today Chaoyang and Peak is the protagonist, it's not the turn of others to show off."
Zhou Zeyu had been with Yun Che for long enough to learn his dominance to people outside Chaoyang and Peak. He didn't try to lower his voice which was heard clearly by the people in the RV. Whichever army were they from, they could not run riot in their neighborhood, not even the Mo Army.
"Ok."
He Yongyi nodded, and glanced at the cars behind, displeased. Fortunately, the queue was so long and Chen Hua and Lei Dashan had already gone far, otherwise they would definitely have returned. As one of the top ten squads of the base, how could they bear to be looked down upon by those blind snobs? Not even the military.
"Darling, listen to them! They went too far."
Inside the RV, a beautiful woman in a purple strapless dress with exquisite makeup was holding a man's hand and playing the coquetry. The couple sitting opposite them both frowned subconsciously. It was their wedding day, and the road was jammed, but you had to honk to urge them. Who could you blame now you were jeered?
"There, there, wait a minute, be careful with the baby in your belly."
The man was none other than Wang Wei, who was almost fifty, and the woman holding his hand looked only in her early twenties, who was more than enough to be his daughter. No wonder that Wang Guo'an and his wife sitting opposite them would frown. An idiot could tell that the woman was by no means Wang Wei's wife, but a mistress.
"Why should we wait? You are the commander in chief of an army, why can't they make way for us? Should we be treated just like ordinary people?"
The woman threw away his hand displeased when she heard that Wang Wei didn't intend to pursue this matter, pouting her lips, her face full of displeasure.
"Come on, baby, today is the wedding day of Captain Xing and Captain Yun after all. Just ignore it."
Wang Wei felt heartache to see her like this, and he hugged her and soothed her patiently. He cherished her so much because she had been pregnant with his child, which was almost impossible during doomsday. According to statistics, the probability of a woman becoming pregnant in doomsday had been greatly reduced. At present, there were less than a hundred women in the Southwest Base who had had children since the befalling of the doomsday, most of whom suffered miscarriages later, while a very small number of them nearly miscarried when they were found by the military who sent them to the hospital, hoping that they could give birth to the children safely. People treated other people's children like this, let alone their own. Even though his wife and child in the capital were no longer answering his phone because of this, he never thought of abandoning his mistress and the baby.
"Darling… It doesn't matter how I'm treated, but how can you and our son be treated like this? If this gets out, how will you command the army in the future? I'm complaining for you."
The woman said while leaning into his arms, sounding extremely considerate. The old Wang Weil was immediately moved greatly, "Yes, of course, I know it's for me and our son. But we really can't make trouble today. Be good, don't be mad at me, okay?"
Fortunately, he still had a little sense of reason, and dared not really listen to this woman and make a big fuss at Xing Feng and Yun Che's wedding.
"Fine…"
The woman nodded in great grievance. Wang Guo'an and his wife held their child's hands tightly, and they really wanted to get out of the car and just walk into the venue. They almost vomited from hearing the conversation, especially Wang Guo'an, who was looking at his cousin Wang Wei with major disappointment. Some time ago it had been okay, since at least he would not take this woman out. Since he had confirmed that the woman had been pregnant a few days ago, he had become more and more reckless, and women more and more domineering. Alas… at this rate, the Wang Army was very likely to decline itself before the Mo Army or the Wei Army tried to make it so. The collective transfer of the lady's team regardless of the opposition of the army was the best proof.
"General Wang, it's you. I'm so sorry, the venue is small, sorry for keeping you waiting."
Now all the cars of the Loser and Joy were finally collected, and their vehicles finally arrived at the entrance of the venue. Seeing Wang Wei get off the RV, Zhou Zeyu stood where he was and didn't mean to come over to greet him at all. Meng Gang and Meng Xu had also come back, and now the three of them was standing side by side. Kong Jiawen and Zhu Zeping of Peak stood a little behind them. People said that a cowardly general would have cowardly soldiers, and vice versa. Yun Che looked mild to the others and was always smiling, but in fact, he was more overbearing than anyone, and had never allowed anyone to take advantage of him. The people of Peak naturally had a similar temper.
"It's nothing, Zeyu, we…"
"Why can't the cars go directly inside? How could you have the guests walk in? Isn't Chaoyang and Peak the strongest squad in the base? Is this your way of hospitality?"
Wang Guo'an was holding his seven-year-old son's and his wife's hands. Before he finished his words, a disgusted female voice cut in. For a while, not only Wang Guo'an was dumbfounded embarrassedly, but even Zhou Zeyu's face changed, so did the others'. Looking in the direction of the voice, the Meng brothers frowned, while Zhou Zeyu looked confused. After a while, he showed a somehow mocking expression as if recalling something.
"It's you, Miss Jiang, long time no see!"
Jiang Qi, Lin Yin's ex-girlfriend, who had almost had Zhan Tianlong killed before. If Lin Yin had not pleaded for her, she would have been killed by Zhan Yafei.
"You…"
Apparently, she hadn't expected that someone would recognize her. Jiang Qi looked up in surprise, but she failed to recognize him after watching Zhou Zeyu for a quite a while. "Who are you?"
"You know each other?"
Jiang Qi was not the only one who feel confused; Meng Gang, Meng Xu, Wang Wei and Wang Guo'an also looked full of questions.
"Yes, of course I do. How can I forget such a 'superb' woman like Miss Jiang herself; I can't even if I want to."
Zhou Zeyu walked towards them, and the survivors crowded on both sides of the special passage all pricked up their ears. Who didn't know Chaoyang and Peak at the Southwest Base? This woman who dared to make trouble at their wedding banquet, even if she looked like the general's mistress, wouldn't get away with it easily, would she?
