Chapter 492 Big Fool Chun

"Sir, Base Commander Lu Fan is here, asking if you are here."

Seeing that the climax was about to end, Ling Ran waved her hand: "He's not here, tell him to get lost."

"OK."

Chen Xiaoying quickly returned to the monitor and said to Lu Fan, who had a fawning smile on his face, "Manager Lu, the sir said she's not here. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

"this……"

Lu Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you ask again? You must be tired from your long journey, so I've prepared a meal to welcome you back."

"Then let me ask again."

Chen Xiaoying knew that the adults liked to freeload meals.

Hearing Lu Fan say that, she ran to ask Ling Ran, her voice a little soft: "Sir, that Manager Lu said he wants to treat you to a welcome dinner, would you like to go?"

Ling Ran paused upon hearing this.

After glancing at the novel on the tablet, which had seventy pages left to read, and then thinking about the food, he finally said, "Let's eat!"

She can keep reading the novel if she leaves it, but if she doesn't eat, she might not be invited to dinner later.

Chen Xiaoying was overjoyed and quickly called out to Uncle Chen and the others in the kitchen, "Dad, Aunt Liu, Brother Wu Tong, someone is inviting the adults to dinner."

When you invite adults to dinner, you naturally invite them as well.

As adults would say, it's about eating as much as you can, indulging in the pleasure of getting a good deal.

Although they never felt that the adults had ever taken advantage of others.

The others weren't there, so Ling Ran didn't send anyone to call them. She came out with the three people and the pig and saw Lu Fan standing outside the door. Behind him were four other people, all bowing slightly, looking very respectful.

Upon seeing Ling Ran, Lu Fan immediately greeted her: "Hello, Lord Ling. I am Lu Fan, the base commander. It is a great honor for you to come to the Guardian Base. Please feel free to give me any instructions in the future."

How did you know me?

"In the Weiyang Weekly, the magnanimity of the adults has been firmly etched in my mind. Today, when I was routinely reviewing the surveillance footage, I immediately noticed the magnanimity of the adults. With such temperament and appearance, no one in the world can rival them."

Liu Xiuping glanced at Lu Fan and concluded: Well, another one who knows how to flatter. Why are people so sycophantic these days? Will she feel like she's facing unemployment again when we eat later?

She and Uncle Chen exchanged a knowing glance, and an alarm bell rang in her mind.

Are these people really something? Can't they please adults elsewhere? They have to insist on being treated to meals! They have to be treated to meals! How about they eat themselves to death!

"This way, sir."

The vehicles Lu Fan arranged were not cars, but sightseeing buses used at tourist attractions. The first one was short with only six seats, while the second one was long and could seat about ten people.

Ling Ran naturally sat in the front, in the first row behind the driver. As for Lu Fan, he didn't dare to sit next to Ling Ran, but sat behind her, leaning forward to explain to Ling Ran: "Although the base is large, it's still a bit redundant to use a car, as we can't sit for very long. So we found this sightseeing bus, which is very convenient."

"Was this curtain added later?"

The sightseeing bus was empty on both sides, but some windproof curtains had been added here.

Lu Fan laughed and said, "Yes, after all, the weather is cold now, so we still need to pay attention to keeping warm, otherwise it would be bad if we got sick."

"Um."

The lights on this sightseeing bus have probably been modified; they are exceptionally bright, no less so than car headlights.

Looking at the darkness, Ling Ran couldn't help but ask, "If the Western Province remains perpetually dark, has Xiao Lu ever considered relocating the base?"

"I've thought about it."

Lu Fan must have thought about it.

It's always dark, and it's really not something most people can stand.

At least for Lu Fan himself, after experiencing this for more than a month, he felt that his temper had become much more irritable. It was like before the apocalypse, when it rained and the sky was overcast for days on end, and he would feel very irritable.

"It's not possible right now; we can only wait and see how the base develops in the future."

After all, the Guardian Base has nearly 50,000 people. If they were to relocate, there would be too many factors to consider. At least for the next two years, there is no hope of relocation.

Lu Fan sighed at this point: "Even if there's a chance to move in two years, how are we going to get through those two years?"

Having lived a life of perpetual darkness, Lu Fan felt that by then all the superhumans in the base might have already fled.

If better benefits were offered, perhaps some superhumans would be willing to stay, but he simply can't offer them, and he doesn't even dare to make that assumption.

Of course, Ling Ran's arrival was his only hope.

Lu Fan didn't want to place his hopes on Ling Ran either; he wanted to take control of his own destiny. But things had developed to this point, and he really had no other choice.

Ling Ran nodded in understanding and said nothing more.

Lu Fan shook off his earlier melancholy and introduced the base to Ling Ran: "Our base has a large population, so our business development is still quite good. It's just that the supply and demand are unbalanced, which is why the streets are in such a state of decline."

"However, massage parlors, foot massage parlors, and karaoke parlors have always been doing good business. Nowadays, people face too much pressure to survive. After satisfying their basic needs, they like to enjoy themselves and live in the moment, lest they go out on a mission one day and not be able to come back."

The road wasn't long, and Lu Fan didn't say much before they arrived at the entrance of a Peace Hotel.

The restaurant was brightly lit, and there were quite a few people dining on the first floor, with five or six tables occupied.

Lu Fan led Ling Ran over. The superhuman, who had intended to greet Lu Fan, was immediately shocked and shut up when he saw the pig following behind him.

Oh?

Is this a pigsty?

Such a big pig, wouldn't it last us a long time?

Several ability users wanted to use up their points as soon as possible and then leave the Guardian Base.

Now that they see pigs coming into the store, everyone is very excited.

Now there's somewhere to spend my points.

One of the superpowered individuals excitedly asked Lu Fan for confirmation: "Manager Lu, is this pig for the Peace Hotel? When will it be slaughtered? Come over and eat, buddy. I want to eat pig's stomach. Make a pig's stomach and chicken soup. I've been craving this for so long."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Lu Fan was startled and immediately glared at the superhuman who had asked the question, his tone serious: "This is Lord Ling Ran's pet!"

"Ling Ran?"

"Call me sir! How dare you address someone by their given name so casually?"

Lu Fan, fearing they might say something that would offend Ling Ran, quickly stopped the conversation: "Alright, I have to entertain our distinguished guests. You should finish eating and leave quickly. Instead of wasting your energy asking questions here, you should go outside and kill a couple more zombies."

After he finished speaking, he quickly led Ling Ran upstairs, leaving the superhumans eating in the lobby. They kept repeating Ling Ran's name in their hearts, feeling that it sounded very familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before.

"Not only is the name familiar, but the person also looks familiar."

"Hey, Third Brother, you look familiar again. Tell me, which of your ex-girlfriends does she resemble?"

"Get out of here! I'm not kidding, I really think she looks familiar. Where have I seen her before?"

"Ah! I understand!"

Everyone looked at the superhuman who had suddenly spoken, and saw that he was holding a newspaper in his hand: "Ling Ran! Isn't this the amazing person from the Weiyang base that we discussed before? I heard that he single-handedly developed a vaccine and also sent a lot of supplies to the Weiyang base and the safe house base, that big fool Chun."
