Chapter 291: Wang Family Visits
When the big sister of my friend praises herself, she doesn't hold back.
Wang Xifa's mouth twitched. To be honest, from beginning to end, he never doubted the Dragon and Phoenix Team at all. Although Lan Shiruo's words of praising herself were a bit shameless, it was true that the Dragon and Phoenix Team would not do such a thing. He didn't know why he believed this so firmly. Maybe they got along well.
The Dragon and Phoenix Team's methods are sometimes very brutal and their hearts are dark, but they still have moral principles. From the exchange, it can be seen that they are the same kind of people as him.
"Miss Lan, you're joking. I've never doubted the Dragon and Phoenix Team. However, you might not be talking about humans. Could it be a corpse or a mutant beast itself?"
"It's possible," Lan Shiruo nodded. "Don't forget, the mutant beasts and corpses are all advancing. Most of them have developed intelligence. They can think, gather strength, and lie dormant. It's inevitable that a group will accumulate enough strength and want to attack humans."
The more Wang Xifa listened, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. No matter how powerful humans were, they could not dump so many mutant beast corpses quietly at the foot of the city wall. Other things were easy to do. Whether it was corpses or mutant beasts, they all had abilities that humans could not reach, especially the corpses. After advancing, the rotten flesh on their bodies was slowly improving, becoming invulnerable to swords and guns. Their jumping ability and running speed were far better than humans, and they could control the aliens.
"What should I do then?"
"Defense," Lan Shiruo said, "Their goal may be to attack and occupy City O, creating chaos first and then waiting for an opportunity to strike. If they are indeed mutants, their leader must be very intelligent. Besides defense, I don't know what they can do. Of course, these are just my guesses. The final decision on what to do is still up to the base commander."
Wang Xifa nodded repeatedly, then thought, "It's getting late. How about everyone stay in City O for one night and let me play the role of host?"
The little friend curled his lips and said, "That bastard has a nice idea."
Wang Xifa did not hide his thoughts. He really wanted the Dragon and Phoenix Team to stay and help. As for whether to help or not, it all depended on the Dragon and Phoenix Team. He would not force them. Helping was a favor, and not helping was his duty. He considered himself a sensible person and could tell the difference.
Lan Shiruo smiled. She liked open-minded people.
Turning to look at Ao Chengyi, Ao Chengyi smiled and said, "It's up to you to decide." He wants to be a qualified man behind a woman. Nothing is more important than his wife's happiness.
Lan Shiruo smiled and turned to look at Wang Xifa, "Sorry to bother you then."
Wang Xifa was overjoyed. "Don't bother me, just stay at my house. My family is small and the land is large enough for everyone to stay. It's just a little simple, so don't mind."
"It's okay." Lan Shiruo nodded and followed Wang Xifa to his home.
Wang Xifa's house is a small three-story Western-style house, where only his elderly parents, wife and children live. The five members of his family are very simple. Before the end of the world, they did not become extravagant because they were large farmers with an annual income of tens of millions. After the end of the world, they did not become arrogant because they became the master of a city. They always maintained the simple and kind mentality of a farmer.
There was no luxurious decoration or furnishing in the house, everything was very down-to-earth. Vegetables were planted in the yard, and a few ducks were raised. Lan Shiruo's eyes widened.
I secretly asked my friend, "Do you want to eat roast duck?"
The friend's eyes were brighter than hers. She had already divided the ducks and gone over in her mind countless times who would eat what part and how to eat it.
The kids had no idea what it meant. Except for Lebao, the other four kids might have eaten it before, but they had almost forgotten it.
The animals were a little disgusted, thinking that it didn't have much meat and was not enough to fill their teeth.
A few ducks felt the deep malice and ran away, flapping their wings and quacking.
The friend came up to Lan Shiruo and asked, "Should we act tonight or now?"
Did Wang Xifa, who was hearing it clearly, let the wolf into the house?
Ao Chengyi glanced at Wang Xifa and saw that his face was twitching violently. He kindly said to him, "I'll leave one for you."
Wang Xifa
Wang's parents and Wang Xifa's wife had just finished cooking at home and had no idea of the crisis that was about to face City O. When they heard the noise and came out, they were shocked to see a yard full of strangers.
"Are you okay?"
Wang Xifa was short and was blocked by his friends. He couldn't even see the top of their heads. He was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood. He quickly squeezed to the front and said, "Mom and Dad, they are all my friends. They are visiting our house tonight. Please cook a few more dishes and clean up a few more rooms."
Wang Xifa became the base commander and rarely brought people home. He never told people who his friends were. When the old couple of the Wang family heard him say this, they knew that these people were their own people and were very enthusiastic.
"Oh, come on, come in and sit down. Xifa, too. Why didn't you send someone back earlier to tell me? Come in and sit down. I'll get some food. Don't be polite."
The children were polite to the elderly, calling them uncle and aunt, and the kids called them grandpa and grandma. Although Wang Xifa was old enough to be their father, and about the same age as the four middle-aged people, they were on equal terms, so it was right to call them "Father Wang" and "Mother Wang." He went to say hello to Wang Xifa's wife. She wasn't particularly beautiful, a typical rural woman. She and Wang Xifa had been a couple through thick and thin. They weren't in a love relationship like in idol dramas, but they were real family members, an indispensable part of the whole family. They supported their husband and children, cared for the elderly, and managed the household, doing a great job. The couple treated each other with respect and lived a good life.
When facing a large group, he was very cheerful and prepared meals in a hurry.
Wang Xifa's son is not at home. I heard that he is about 26 or 27 years old. He helps Wang Xifa with his work and should be busy with the maggot issue now.
Neither the father nor the son would tell their family what was happening outside, and the two elderly people and the woman in the family were well protected.
The three of them went to cook. Wang Xifa took out his treasured red wine. Since there was no one to drink tea, they just drank some.
The friend was not interested in drinking it at first, but seeing Wang Xifa's painful look, he drank it.
Wang Xifa pounded his chest and took out a few boxes of yogurt and gave them to the kids.
The kids had plenty of milk to drink, but they all wisely shouted, "Thank you, uncle."
"No thanks, have fun. I'll call you guys for dinner later."
"Okay." The kids had a great time and made noise on the carpet with the animals.
As the head of the base, Wang Xifa lived a comfortable life. He had meat every meal, fresh vegetables every two days, and the occasional duck egg. These items were always on the table at night. By the standards of a large group, it was average, but by the standards of ordinary people, it was quite plentiful. The only thing that was scarce was staples. Rice and flour had a long growth cycle and were demanding in many ways. They couldn't be easily grown like side dishes. Once the stock was gone, it was gone. Therefore, staples were basically just a snack, more expensive than meat and vegetables, and difficult to come by. There were no staples on the Wang family's table, but there was plenty of meat, all of it from mutant beasts.
"Don't be polite. It's not a delicious dish. Just eat it." Wang's father greeted everyone and asked Wang Xifa to move out his wine jar. It was rare for a guest to come to his house, so Wang's father was happy.
