357, Mutant 20 (2nd Update)
I won’t go into details about the busy days that followed. When Yu Heng had some free time, he found out that Zheng Hengman had come home several times and Zheng’s mother seemed to have something to say to him.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Eldest sister has something to do with me? Mom, what did eldest sister say?"
"I don't know either. Hey, are you free now? Then I'll call her home!"
Seeing Zheng's mother's expectant look, Yu Heng didn't want to spoil her mood, so he nodded: "Then let eldest sister come back in the evening, and we will have dinner together. I will have food delivered to the house. Mom, how about cooking?"
"Okay, okay!"
Zheng's mother happily called her. Yu Heng shook his head. He had no right to say anything to Zheng Henli. Zheng Hengli had let down Zheng's mother. Now that Zheng's mother had forgiven her, he would not go to trouble her. Although Zheng Hengli didn't listen to Zheng's mother and didn't come back to see her for a long time, which hurt her mother's heart, she was not really heartless anymore.
The battle of life and death had just been won, and when other residents were afraid of going out because of the mutants, Zheng Hengli hurried to knock on the door. When she saw Zheng's mother who opened the door, she collapsed to the ground. My daughter's clothes and hair were all messed up, and one of her shoes was missing. She felt sad and moved all of a sudden. I pulled my eldest daughter into the house to hold her head and cry.
The old grudges were finally wiped away. Since then, Zheng Hengli's contact with her family has become closer again. Yu Heng was busy and not at home, and Zheng's mother didn't dare to disturb him. She only heard about it when she got home today. Zheng's mother is already this age, so he can only support her in whatever she wants to do.
Vegetables and meat were delivered quickly. Zheng Hengli came over at four o'clock in the afternoon. She asked Yu Heng carefully and told him to take care of his health: "You were not at home several times when I came here. It shows how busy you are. No matter how busy you are, You should take good care of your body. It is harder for girls to be soldiers than for men, so you should take good care of your body."
After chatting with him, he went to the kitchen to help. Soon the laughter of the mother and daughter could be heard in the kitchen. Yu Heng was also a little relieved. Zheng Hengli was really better at dealing with people than before. Then look at her eyes and temperament. She became much softer, and the mania and uneasiness on her face disappeared. I don't know if it was the nourishment of love or the victory of the life-and-death battle that allowed her to get rid of the death ending of her previous life.
After dinner, Zheng's mother asked the two of them to go to the room to talk: "Didn't you say that you have something to say to your sister? Go ahead!"
Yu Heng began to think that Zheng Hengli wanted to talk about Fang Shiyu. He had heard Fang Shiyu's name many times. As Zheng Hengli said, that person really shined in the Songhe Tower last year and received many rewards in the army. Later, he heard that Fang Shiyu had a good background. He was a retired soldier and changed his career to become a fitness instructor. Searching for people in the safe zone to form a hunting team, acting in a calm and open manner, and being very popular. This is a model for the military to set an example. Therefore, taking advantage of the east wind and other heroes, he became one of the models for promoting positive energy in the safe zone.
In this life-and-death battle, Fang Shiyu's hunting team also made great contributions. The rewards have been distributed these days, and it can be said that it is in full swing. He didn't go to the award ceremony. He was too busy and asked the deputy commander to go. After he came back, the deputy commander told him that Fang Shiyu showed his intention to be friendly with the female corps. He didn't respond for the time being, thinking that Zheng Hengli was doing it for Fang Shiyu. Speaking of things, it turned out that Zheng Hengli did not take the usual path.
Zheng Hengli locked the door, pulled him to sit on the bed, took out the folded thing from his pocket, and unfolded it to reveal a newspaper.
"Is this person your boss?" She pointed to the bust photo above and asked, "Is his name Lu Andong?" There is indeed such a system in the safe zone now. The government management with Lu Andong as the core, and the deployment of the military department are also in the government Under the management of the company, Yu Heng nodded. Although he was not his direct boss, he was still the leader.
Seeing Yu Heng nod, Zheng Hengli folded the newspaper again and put it away, took Yu Heng's hand and said in a low voice: "Then he is probably not a human being!"
Yu Heng was not without shock when he heard the news. Isn’t Lu Andong a human? "Is he a mutant?"
"Don't get excited. Didn't sister tell you that I had a dream two years ago? In fact, the dream didn't last long. I dreamed that this safe zone was destroyed by mutants, and I, I woke up. Before I woke up from the dream I saw a person, that person was talking to the mutants, they looked like they were together, it was the person in the newspaper!”
If asked more carefully, Zheng Hengli would not know. It was already remarkable that he could recognize this person after seeing the newspaper at his last glance before his death.
"Sister, leave this matter to me. Don't tell anyone else, not even Fang Shiyu." Yu Hengxiao pointed out his interests, and Zheng Hengli nodded: "Don't worry, I saved it. He is now the big leader of the safety zone. , How can I ruin other people's reputations without any evidence? Please be careful and don't put yourself in danger. There is actually a difference between dreams and reality. I have already seen through it. "
After talking about the business, the sisters had nothing else to say. Zheng Hengli felt a little emotional and regretful, stood up and said, "I'm going back too."
Zheng's mother stopped her: "Stay here! It's rare that the whole family is here."
"Mom, I'll be busy tomorrow morning. If I sleep here, I won't be able to catch up tomorrow." She did live with Fang Shiyu's hunting team. Because she couldn't kill mutants and her physical fitness couldn't keep up, she could only do some logistical work: Cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. These tasks are not difficult, but they are complicated and always easy to accumulate without people.
"Brother Shiyu said that he will go out to catch mutants after two days of rest. When they go out, I will have some free time at home. I will come back to see you."
Zheng's mother sighed: "Now our family's life has improved, and your sister has a great future. You are close sisters, and it is only right to support each other. Come home and live with us. This is a military area, so it is safe." Come on, come home." The eldest daughter went to Fang Shiyu to find someone to support her, but now that her own sister is her eldest supporter, why should she choose to stay away from her?
Zheng Hengli smiled softly, "Mom, that's my home now." It was a bit painful, but she was very satisfied with Fang Shiyu. Yu Heng could see that when talking about Fang Shiyu, Zheng Hengli's expression was completely different from the first time she talked about it with her family. At that time, she wanted to rely on the strong, but now she was shy and sweet like a child.
Zheng's mother was shocked. She could see it from her daughter's eyebrows... She grabbed Zheng Hengli with trembling hands: "You and him, you and him, aren't you already sleeping together?!"
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Zheng's mother's vision went dark, and she forced herself to sit up straight, comforting herself that it didn't matter, that it didn't matter. Now that the times are open, it's normal for young people to fall in love and get close. She asked urgently: "Are you wearing a condom? Oh, tell mom, are you wearing one?"
"I'm wearing it. Brother Shiyu said it's still chaotic now. It's too difficult to have a child, and the child will suffer when he is born."
"You bad boy! Bad boy!" Zheng's mother scolded twice. After all, she was mentally prepared and asked: "Then when will you get the marriage certificate? Are his parents still there? When will the parents of the two families meet? A face."
Yu Heng saw Zheng Hengli's embarrassed expression and sighed and advised: "Mom, calm down. I'll take eldest sister back first. The sun is going down."
"Why are you going back if you don't get married? You are not allowed to go back!" Zheng's mother was furious.
Finally, Zheng Hengli, who finally walked out of the community, smiled bitterly and thanked Yu Heng: "Thank you for saying nice things to mom."
"Sister, I think you have matured a lot, but have you really planned your future with Fang Shiyu?"
Zheng Hengli smiled bitterly again. She touched Yu Heng's head. Her sister was taller than her and she needed to step on her feet to touch her. She looked at Yu Heng and whispered: "I'm already like this, what can I do if I'm still worse? I'm so happy that you have made a difference. At least you have a good daughter who makes your mother proud and decent. Although you have become a regiment commander, you can't be a soldier." Everything is dangerous, you must take good care of yourself.”
After that day, Yu Heng made time to ask his confidants to check on Lu Andong. In fact, nothing could be found. Lu Andong has been like the most stringent monk in the past few years. There is nothing to criticize in his work or private life.
He was able to confirm that Lu Andong was not a mutant, and there were no clues of colluding with mutants. He is 90% sure of the authenticity and accuracy of the investigation. This confidence is of course due to the arrangements over the years. Although the safe zone is Lu Andong's word, and Lu Andong also uses his own performance to tell everyone that his leadership is right, there are still forces fighting in the power structure. He has never shown the slightest ambition to the outside world. In addition, women are somewhat looked down upon due to their gender identity. Due to various factors, it was very smooth for him to install people, ears and eyes. It was not necessary before, but now the effect is extraordinary.
After working for more than half a month, Yu Heng collected all the information in the storage ring and reluctantly concluded that Lu Andong was fine at this time.
So, will there be problems in the future? In Zheng Hengli's previous life, the life-and-death battle was actually a battle to destroy the city, which took place half a year ago. After the Nanhai Safe Zone was destroyed, she saw Lu Andong having a happy conversation with the mutants. He originally suspected that Lu Andong and Zheng Hengli had similar experiences, so would Lu Andong still be involved with mutants in this life?
Since everything was still uncertain, Yu Heng could only send people to keep an eye on Lu Andong.
Half a year passed quickly, and after more than half a year of recuperation, the South China Sea Safety Zone finally recovered. In the last war, not only was the safe zone severely damaged, but the mutants gathered to attack the city but were all defeated, which in turn gave the safe zone a chance to recuperate. For more than half a year, the safe zone has been very clean. However, small security bases in other places are not as lucky as Nanhai. I heard that several of them were damaged.
"There are very few survivors. Only the remaining soldiers and a few hunting teams have complete hardware and can escape to the end. What a pity. I heard that the Hujing Base proposed to merge those small bases into large and medium-sized bases. I don't know why they are not merged. Woolen cloth……"
"You are stupid. Don't you have to listen to others if you go in? Can the leaders of the small base bear it? No matter how small the mountain is, it is still a little overlord. It is better for us in the South China Sea Security Zone. The top management is united and there is less of the chaos of fighting for power. Only then can we have the energy and time to carry out construction.”
Listening to several female soldiers discussing in low voices, Yu Heng interrupted them: "Stop chatting now, send this announcement, everyone must read it carefully."
He walked to the window. An iron mesh was cast on the window sill, and he couldn't even see the scenery. Yu Heng simply went downstairs to watch the female soldiers train. After playing several times, he was sweating all over and felt relieved.
"Captain, Mr. Lu invites you to a meeting. The meeting will start at two-thirty."
"Meeting? Okay, I understand." Yu Heng handed the towel to the orderly, and the orderly asked: "There is still half an hour, do you want to take a shower?" "Wash." "Okay, the sun is nice today, and the water has already started. It’s hot.”
After taking a shower and putting on clean military uniforms, Yu Heng went to the central management area. There were still very few pedestrians on the streets, and the half-empty stalls made it even more deserted. Mutants attacked the city half a year ago. Although there were very few casualties among the people, the mental shadow was not easily erased. No matter how encouraging newspapers and radio broadcasts were, it still took one's own efforts to cheer people up.
Looking at the street view outside the window, he couldn't help but think of this meeting. He knew that Hujing Base had sent a letter to the South China Sea Safety Zone, and he also knew that Hujing Base was very interested in the shadow capture device used in the South China Sea half a year ago. Even Hujing's envoys had already set off.
It was inevitable that Hujing would get the shadow capture device, so what would Lu Andong do? What could he get from it.
Before getting off the car, Yu Heng got a note that had just been delivered. After reading it, he put the note away. It turned out that Lu Andong had reached a preliminary agreement with Hujing Base, and the South China Sea Navy would escort the Hujing Army back home.
So the question was, should he go?
Striding into the building, Yu Heng made a decision in the elevator. He still had to go. This operation was definitely a lucrative job. This was the first time that Hujing Base had to ask the South China Sea Safety Zone for help. With Lu Andong's shrewdness, he would definitely tear off a layer of skin from Hujing Base. As long as the shadow capture device was successfully delivered to Hujing, the merit would be in hand. He counted his confidants and found some of them were very good. He wanted to take them out for a trip and bring them back. Their achievements would be good for their future development.
Another thing, he wanted to see the current situation of Hujing. Hujing Base was the capital of the country before the end of the world. It accommodated tens of millions of survivors and was the largest survivor base in the country. There must be many places worth paying attention to. Finally, he envied the well-preserved book resources there.
It's worth going, and you have to fight for it.
