As the meeting approached the end, everyone forgot their original intention, and it did not end happily. Xing Feng, Yun Che, Tan Weiye and Mo Wenyang left with Senior Xing, Ye Xingchen went back home with Senior Ye and Senior Shu, and Jiang Shang went with him, while Gu Mingxuan went to the the government building with Wang Qiang, saying that he wanted some exchange.
"Dad, Senior Mo Lao, Senior Tan."
Seeing Xing Feng and Yun Che coming home, Xing's mom was full of smiles, "Feng, Wenyang, welcome home."
"Mom."
"Auntie!"
The three old men nodded and went inside, while Xing Feng and others who were following behind greeted. Seeing that her little grandsons were not here, Xing's mom was a bit disappointed. Yun Che went forward to hold her shoulders and comforted her as he always did with his sister, "Today we were going to the military meeting before coming back with grandpa. And when we have free time in a couple of days, I'll send the children here. Mom, you can help us take care of them for a few days. "That's good. I'll take care of them however long you want it."
Hearing this, smile bloomed on the face of Xing's mom. She would love that Yun Che be a little more generous and gifted the babies to her.
"Haha, mom, why don't you come with us to the southwest? We'll be more reassured when we have missions outside with you taking care of the children."
"I'd love to, but what about the rest of the family? You know your father. If I leave, he would have trouble feeding himself. Your brother is always gentle and he also has no idea how to take care of himself. And there is also your sister. She makes me headache. She's just a girl and why does she have to meddle with superfunction squads. She's already in her twenties and she still hasn't got herself a boyfriend. I'm so worried."
Xing's mom chattered on as if she had found herself a soulmate. Fortunately, Yun Che had experience in dealing with his sister, so he still wore a bright smile, while Xing Feng, Tan Weiye and Mo Wenyang could no longer cope with it and drew themselves away.
"Her superfunction squad is great. They rank first in Section C. Mom, you can't be sexist. Women can hold up half the sky, and sis has brought glory to you women. And you don't have to worry about brother. He is just being lazy because he knows that you'll take good care of him"
No matter how bad the situation looked, Yun Che had a talent of turning bad things into good things. His words made Xing's mom so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and she looked a lot younger. "You're such a good talker. What do you want for lunch? Tell me, and I'll make it for you."
"Everything is fine. I'm not picky. Do you have enough ingredients? Do you need me to get some more?"
"No. There's no need. There are still plenty of vegetables and eggs you brought to us. So let's have Sichuan cuisine for lunch. Feng loves spicy food."
"Okay."
They went into the house as they chatted and laughed. Only the three old men were sitting in the living room. Xing Tianyi and his sister Xing Xu were not there. They should be out attending business. After brewing some tea for them, Yun Che and Xing Feng Che sat down opposite the old men, while Tan Weiye and Mo Wenyang sat down as well. In front of Senior Mo and Senior Tan, the two had no intention to hide the fact that they were a couple. They sat very close to each other, and anyone could tell that they were together.
Senior Tan was happy for them and Senior Mo didn't seem to be unhappy. Even if those old foxes were displeased, they would not be able to tell.
"What you guys said about the Northeast Base is true?"
A moment later, Senior Xing broke the silence as he looked at Xing Feng. This matter had gone beyond their expectation. Sure, they had sent scouts to the northeast, but up to now, they had received no information regarding to the research related to mutant human beings.
"Well, we're 100% sure, otherwise Gao Wei wouldn't have risked so much to kidnap Heiyu. Grandpa, you know how special Heiyu is and there's no better research object than him."
Xing Feng was never as serious as he was now. This matter concerning the mutant human beings were important and if they were not careful, the entire country of China would suffer. Moreover, apparently Gao Wei was somehow related to the dark shadow.
"Fxxk!"
Xing Wanxin cursed in a low voice. They were old soldiers. And although they were protective of their own, which made them look selfish to others, this was a country they had spent their lifetime building. They had built it from the scratch and they had devoted all their energies to this cause. When time came, what they loved most was still the country. Just like Senior Tan sacrificed one of his arms for the survivors of the Coast, they were the true guardian angels of China.
Likewise, Senior Mo and Senior Tan's faces also looked ugly. People from their generation had similar temperament, though it was expressed in different ways.
Grandpa, before Gao Wei exposed himself, he had repeatedly poked around whether Feng would stay in the capital in the future. I think after they successfully develop an army made of mutant human beings, the capital might be their first target. Maybe you should relocate to the southwest with the army. They environment there is nice and we are all families and friends, so there's no need to keep an eye on others playing dirty tricks behind our back."
This was what Yun Che was going to say today. The Southwest Base could still be expanded along the Lingjiang River. There would be no problem even the whole population in the Capital were relocated there. He hated to see them hurt by the mutant army of Gao Wei
"No. Even if I'll have to die, I'll die here in the capital!"
Without even thinking about it, Senior Xing turned him down. Just when Yun Che was pondering on how to persuade him, Senior Xing sighed, "It's good that you can think of us. Che, Wenyang, we're old and we have contributed our whole life to the country. For us, no matter what a turbulent time the doomsday is, as long as the capital is still there, we still have the foundation of China. Guarding it will be our last and most arduous task of our lives."
They understood children's filial piety, but they could not give up. That was what they had fought for all their lives. Even if they were called to be old and stubborn, and they didn't know how to change, they would not easily give up.
"…"
Yun Che was unable to spoke those words he planned to convince them, even Xing Feng and the others didn't know what to say. Everyone had something in their lives to hold on to, some of them selfish and others selfless, just like those old men. They couldn't refute them, less alone convince them. On the contrary, they were persuaded.
"Grandpa, I'm not as great as you guys. Honestly, since they doomsday, I only want to protect the people I care about, and I don't care whether others are gonna die or not. But I respect your decisions and I'll stop trying to persuade you. But you have to promise me if you are attacked by mutant armies, you'll have to contact us immediately and you will not fight recklessly with them. We'll figure out a way together."
After a moment of silence, Yun Che raised his head and said in determination. At the same time, another plan was slowly taking shape in his heart. He had seen how powerful the mutant human beings were in his previous life, but he knew that unformed mutant human beings were nothing to be concerned with. In that case, why wouldn't they completely destroy it before the mutant human beings became an army.
It sounded crazy, but Yun Che didn't think of it on the spur of the moment. He had said that he would destroy what Gao Wei cared about the most, and destroying the mutant cultivation base was one of them.
"Of course. If you youngsters don't join the battle, do you expect old men like us to fight?"
Senior Xing's attitude shifted so fast that Yun Che was at a loss as how to reply. However, he felt that Senior said it because he was worried that they would be too worried, "Haha. Grandpa, you're right. Everything you say is always right."
"You just love to flatter us. Alright, let's stop talking about those bastards in northwest. Let's talk about planting. Do you have enough drug? I'm planning to encircle more lands so every survivor in Section C can have their own land and grow their own crop so that the problem of food and clothing can be solved from the root."
Throwing a glance at him, Senior Xing became serious again. Problems concerning food and clothing was always the top priority.
"This is absolutely no problem. Grandpa, you can actually learn from what we have done in southwest. You can encircle the land as much as you want and then instruct the tamer to tame some mutant birds to watch over it."
Exchanging a look with Xing Feng, Yun Che leaned towards him, and Xing Feng obediently wrapped his arm around his waist.
"Yeah, this is what I have in mind. But the problem is, it's difficult to find tamers and we only have one in three armies. I heard Ye Xingchen is a tamer. What about us asking him to tame a batch of beasts for us?"
Yun Che was after all Xing Feng's husband, so Senior Xing straightforwardly asked for a batch of beasts. What else was Yun Che supposed to say? Xing Feng was speechless, "Do you really think Xingchen is a professional tamer? His energy is limited. There is no way that he's going to tame however many beasts you want?
Ye Xingchen had superfunction of taming beasts and he was not an actual tamer, alright?
"I don't care. Anyway, I'll leave this to you, and you're going to take care of this for me."
Well, Xing Wanxin simply acted shamelessly. Some people said when people grew old, they would act more like children. That was indeed true.
"Alright, alright. Just some mutant beasts. No big deal. Grandpa, Senior Mo, we'll give you twenty mutant eagles for each of your army, okay?"
Stopping Xing Feng, who still wanted to talk, Yun Che helplessly mediated. He was always generous to their families and friends. Anyway, it would be easy for Heiyu to catch some mutant eagles. Consider it as a filial tribute to these old men.
"Che, don't forget the Coast."
Before the old men could reply, Tan Weiye immediately asked. Of course, he knew that Yun Che would never forget them. In fact, when Peak was on a mission some time ago, Yun Che had gotten some mutant eagles into the Space, which were clearly reserved for him.
"That's for sure. Coast is my home."
"Haha…"
Yun Che's words amused Tan Weiye. He just liked him being so close to them.
"Right, grandpa, if you want to circle the land, do it as soon as possible. We have taken the revenge that should be avenged. Next, we have to work hard to train ourselves. After helping you to solve the planting issue, we are heading back to the southwest. If you circle the land before the new year, you can start planting early next year, and you'll be able to harvest it in June and July next year."
Changing the topic, Yun Che instructed. Next he'll devoted all his energy to cultivation, so he wouldn't have much time to stay outside.
"Well, that's what I think. I'll make some arrangement tomorrow."
Senior Xing and Senior Mo exchanged a look, and both of them nodded.
"Grandpa, Ye, then let's go back to Coast in a couple of days, then we can come back in a month. Let's finish circling the land in Coast first."
Anyway, they now had space corridor, so it was like a self-driving trip before the doomsday coming back and forth to the two bases. It was really convenient.
"No problem. We've been out for couple of months. It's time to go back home and take a look."
"Then it's decided."
The two brothers made a decision on their own, so Senior Tan didn't bother to interfere. Now, he had a great time chatting with his old friends and taking care of the children. He didn't want to mind any business, and he believed Tan Weiye, Yun Che and Yun Cheng were able to take care of all things.
