Chapter 105 Spring Beast Tide - 7 Tang Bufan's Success...

Tang Bufan easily found cooking oil in the kitchen, several bottles of which were there, but he began to worry about how to take them away. Then he turned around and saw bottles of high-proof liquor, and thought to himself, "Isn't this just a ready-made flask?"

So they grabbed a trolley from the kitchen storeroom, carried the boxes up one by one, and hurriedly pushed it out.

When Lu Yi hurriedly returned to the top of Mount Tai, he saw Tang Bufan with the lower half of his face covered by a moon-white cloth as a mask. He was directing the sub-beastmen in the garden to smash the vine-whip poisoners with wine bottles and set them on fire. He was holding a gun and had one foot on the roof, occasionally shooting down a few bat-wing poisoners with "bang bang".

The giant poisoners also fell under the combined attack of the orcs, and the battle had gained the upper hand. Lu Yi, panting, watched from afar as Tang Bufan roared and fired like a leader. A smile appeared on his disheveled face as he felt the wind blowing from the mountaintop and thought his teacher was really cool.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, Tang Bufan looked down and saw him too. His dark eyes curved slightly. Then, he pointed his gun at the giant poison man who was still struggling not far away. Lu Yi understood immediately and quickly leaped over the ground.

The battle continued until 3 p.m. before the poisonous men's attack on the mountaintop finally ended. Their numbers were also limited, and they did not multiply to the extent of locusts.

There were seven giant poisonous creatures in total. Although they were the fewest in number, they caused the most damage, leaving the garden in a complete mess.

There are hundreds of vine whip poisoners. If a sub-orc is grabbed by the neck and dragged over, it's basically a death sentence. Orcs, on the other hand, can fight to a draw.

Although the Batwing Poison Men were the most numerous, they were small and light, making them the easiest to deal with. Thanks to the nuclear laser pistol given to him by Pei Zhishu, Tang Bufan took down a third of them by himself.

This pistol was a product of the Underground Academy of Sciences, and it was rare. The butler also had one, and he was also an experienced gunman. When Tang Bufan went to find Pei Zhishu with some concern, he ran into him. The two sub-beastmen, who were holding the same pistol, looked at each other and actually felt a sense of mutual respect.

The sub-beastmen who grew up in Taicheng were all rather pampered. They had never faced wild beasts or experienced the hardships of the outside world, so their combat strength was very low. Those who could pick up a Molotov cocktail and smash it at someone who was about to be poisoned were considered to be brave and skilled.

Of course, Pei Zhishu was fine. As soon as the city wall collapsed yesterday, he went to the Cloud Top Building to take charge of remote command at the highest-defense satellite center. He was still dressed in a suit and tie, looking noble, and had an assistant holding an umbrella for him.

"It was my oversight that I didn't send someone to escort Madam Tang to the safe bunker immediately." Pei Zhishu found Tang Bufan and Lu Yi and apologized to them as a diplomat from the Eastern Federation: "I didn't expect the Rebooters to attack the mountaintop."

Lu Yi had already reported the information about the Bat-Winged Poison People to the three federations, but he did not expect that so many would have multiplied in just one winter.

At that time, he and Anderson had already eliminated most of them in the tunnel, allowing only a small number to escape.

“We need to reassess the reproductive capacity of the mutated poison humans,” Lu Yi said to Pei Zhishu seriously. “We beastmen and humans have at most one offspring per year, and each offspring is basically one child. But judging from the number of this wave of poison humans, I suspect that the Rebooters have enhanced their reproductive capacity.”

"The live samples of the three mutated species have been sent to the research institute, and I believe the research report will be available soon." Pei Zhishu indicated that he understood, and that their mistake in this surprise attack was that they did not have sufficient information about the mutated poisonous humans.

Since Qingzhu Xiaoxuan was also damaged, Pei Zhishu asked the housekeeper to arrange a new courtyard for the two of them that they could still live in. However, Lu Yi refused. The garden was severely damaged and had no water or electricity. Many servants had lost their rooms. He wanted to go back to the RV with Tang Bufan.

Tang Bufan also thought this was a good idea. Everyone was having a hard time right now, and there was no need for him and Lu Yi to take up more rooms.

Since the two insisted, Pei Zhishu did not force them, and Tang Bufan and Lu Yi returned to the RV.

The beast tide wasn't completely over yet; disgusting bird droppings and feathers were still falling from the sky, but the blood was dripping less, and the main force of raptors had mostly flown past.

Tang Bufan looked at the filthy and smelly RV and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Helpless, he got in the RV and went to take a shower.

"Teacher, I'm going back to Qingzhu Xiaoxuan to get our clothes," Lu Yi said to Tang Bufan through the bathroom door.

"Go ahead," Tang Bufan replied, wearily facing the showerhead, his mind preoccupied with the events of the morning.

The bat-winged poisonous man called him "mother"... Tang Bufan opened his eyes slightly, unable to understand. Out of fear, he tore off his pajamas and covered his face, afraid that another poisonous man would grab his feet and call him that.

But they were indeed looking for him. Tang Bufan later heard several more poisoners shouting the same thing, some even calling "father," their cries filled with both despair and hope.

Tang Bufan was certain that he did not have children. Before meeting Lu Yi, he had never been in a relationship or donated sperm. So, after thinking it over, he felt that this was just a title, a symbolic meaning.

"Father" should refer to Zero, right? He was the leader of the Rebooters and restored the minds of the Poison People, so he was respectfully called "Father" by them, which makes sense.

Then what is the meaning of one's own "mother"?

After Lu Yi returned with his clothes in a box and took a shower, Tang Bufan sat on the wooden bed, drying his hair with a towel, and nervously confessed to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi, sitting on the ground, was stunned. He had thought that Tang Bufan covered his face with a cloth to prevent bird droppings and blood from entering his nose.

"So this attack is to find you?" Lu Yi felt a chill run down his spine. Thinking of the image of Tang Bufan standing on the roof, he belatedly realized the danger. A few bat-winged poisonous men could fly over and take him away.

"I don't think so." Tang Bufan lowered his head and gently wiped Lu Yi's hair, feeling that he didn't have that much power. "It was just an opportunity to strike at the Eastern Federation. There is the Guo family residence, the Cloud Top Building, and the most prosperous commercial district of the Eastern Federation on the mountaintop. This attack has caused great damage to the Eastern Federation."

Whether it's human lives or the economy, Tang Bufan sighed, then asked Lu Yi, "Are the twins and Wan Bing and Wan Yiming all doing well?"

“The twins were well protected by Wan Yiming. Wan Bing suffered a broken left arm and had many bite and scratch wounds on his body. He was sent to the hospital for observation. It is still uncertain whether the Bat-Winged Poison Man carries infectious diseases,” Lu Yi said.

Tang Bufan was startled and quickly looked down to check Lu Yi's body, lifting his vest to ask, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Lu Yi raised his hand to look at some scratches on his arm and said nonchalantly, "High-level orcs have a strong resistance to germs."

Tang Bufan was still worried: "Why don't you go to the hospital to get checked out too?"

"Medical resources are strained right now, so I don't want to go there and take up resources." Lu Yi grabbed Tang Bufan's hand and kissed it. "I just want to stay in the RV with my teacher."

Tang Bufan thought for a moment, then got up to rummage through the medical kit, poured out two anti-inflammatory pills, and squatted down in front of Lu Yi to feed them to him, but Lu Yi leaned in and kissed him.

"Mother," Lu Yi called softly, looking closely at Tang Bufan.

Tang Bufan was slightly taken aback, then lowered his eyes with a strange and complicated expression, and stuffed the capsule into his mouth: "Don't call me that."

Lu Yi grabbed Tang Bufan's wrist, her voice lowering: "...I'm scared."

"……Me too."

They looked at each other and slowly kissed again. The RV was dimly lit, and Tang Bufan thought to himself that it was good that he hadn't opened the curtains yet.

Both of them were pondering the meaning of "mother" and why the Rebooter was so obsessed with Tang Bufan.

Many people hadn't slept all night and were looking for places to catch up on sleep in the ruins. Lu Yi was also tired; he had gone down the mountain to fight at midnight last night. Tang Bufan then held him and coaxed him to sleep, gently patting his broad back.

Before dawn the next day, Lu Yi left the RV. There were still a lot of wild animals and a group of poisoners lingering in the outer city, so Lu Yi went to help.

Tang Bufan stayed on the mountaintop to repair the garden with the others. At his insistence, the other sub-beastmen could only give him a raincoat. Tang Bufan put it on and, while helping to lift a tree, saw Pei Zhishu being escorted by a group of people towards the Cloud Top Building in the dim light of dawn, with someone still holding an umbrella for him.

Tang Bufan was quite envious, not of Pei Zhishu's high status and privilege, but of his ability. Pei Zhishu was clearly a commander-in-chief, while Tang Bufan, although he often directed people, was more like a construction site foreman.

"Why don't I learn federal management from Pei Zhishu?" Tang Bufan thought to himself, "Maybe I can help Lu Yi in the future."

"One, two, three! Lift!" Tang Bufan shouted, and together with the other sub-orcs wearing raincoats, he lifted the heavy tree.

The surrounding birds scattered.

That night, the garden was restored to electricity, and the water pipes were repaired the next day. By the third day, the wild beasts in the outer city had been mostly driven away. On the fourth day, the steward politely came to invite Tang Bufan and Lu Yi.

Lu Yi no longer needed to go down the mountain to help. Pei Zhishu only came to ask for help when he had free time. Tang Bufan originally planned to continue helping to rebuild the garden, but he could only hurriedly take off his dirty raincoat and start changing into decent clothes.

In the past few days, Tang Bufan has become familiar with most of the servants in the garden. Everyone agrees that he is completely different from his appearance, and is surprisingly capable and approachable.

It's also very down-to-earth.

Tang Bufan is a genuine country boy. His handsome appearance is entirely due to his beautiful mother, and he himself can be considered to have won the genetic lottery, surpassing his mother in looks.

Even though Tang Bufan told them that his birth wasn't good and that he was used to working, everyone still advised him to learn from Pei Zhishu and live a more pampered life, since he was, after all, the wife of a high-ranking beastman.

"Do you think I should be like Mr. Pei?" Tang Bufan asked Lu Yi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed putting on his shoes, as he fastened the rope.

Lu Yi returned to his training uniform attire of a white vest and dark green pants; he liked to dress like that.

Lu Yi also had almost no aristocratic airs.

"No." Lu put on his military boots, his gaze still filled with undisguised amazement at Tang Bufan: "I think the teacher is very genuine."

Tang Bufan put on his beautiful Tang suit again, not wanting to embarrass Lu Yi.

"Really?" Tang Bufan combed his hair in front of the mirror in the narrow aisle of the RV, teasingly saying, "I'm quite good at pretending."

Lu Yi smiled gently, and after he finished packing, she opened her umbrella and got out of the RV with him.

The beast tide was coming to an end, and the annoying birds had finally disappeared. The two walked along the still dirty street toward the Cloud Top Building.

Both of them suspected it was about the mutated poisonous man. Tang Bufan was a little nervous because of this. Sure enough, when they followed the staff to an observation room, the thin bat-winged poisonous man rushed towards Tang Bufan through the transparent glass, crying "mother" with teary eyes. Tang Bufan sighed silently.
