Chapter 48 Wild Daddy Number One Comes Knocking? "Gu Tuo."...

"Gu Tuo," Zhou Fengyun called out from a distance.

Gu Tuo turned around and said, "Captain Zhou."

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Gu Tuo got up and walked towards Zhou Fengyun.

The hound sniffed the air and barked in Zhou Fengyun's direction.

But everyone was chatting, and no one noticed.

Seeing that it was Zhou Fengyun, he didn't suspect anything.

The little stray dog ​​ran over and bit Gu Tuo's trouser leg.

Gu Tuo squatted down and picked up the little dog: "What are you doing?"

"Woof...Woof!" The little mongrel pawed at his chest.

Gu Tuo treated it as if it were playing with him, and continued to follow Zhou Fengyun with his arm around it.

The little dog looked back at Zhou Fengyun, then at Gu Tuo.

The dog was so anxious it could talk.

Zhou Fengyun led Gu Tuo for a long time before stopping.

Gu Tuo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Captain Zhou, what do you need me for?"

Zhou Fengyun turned around and walked over. Gu Tuo was inexplicably wary, but looking at Zhou Fengyun's face, he didn't make any move.

Zhou Fengyun: "Show me your supernatural abilities."

Gu Tuo didn't understand, but he put the little dog down and obediently did as he was told.

He summoned a paint puppet, which was tall and comparable in size to Zhou Fengyun.

"How many can you summon at the same time?" Zhou Fengyun asked.

Gu Tuo said, "Currently, we can have three."

"That's really good." Zhou Fengyun patted him on the shoulder and praised him.

Gu Tuo was raising the corners of his mouth when he suddenly felt a pain in his neck.

His body went limp.

Gu Tuo was cursing in his mind before he lost consciousness.

Another bad guy?!

＊

Yu Qing and Zhou Fengyun went to examine the corpses. They had no identification on them, and could only be identified from their faces and skin color as originating from overseas.

"Many of the invaders to the secret realm are foreigners."

Zhou Fengyun nodded: "Something's not right. Let's go back first."

The two returned together to the place where everyone had gathered to rest.

Yu Qing noticed immediately that someone was missing.

"Where is the ancient rubbing?"

The people who were chatting looked over.

Zhi Xihan looked at Zhou Fengyun with a blank expression: "Captain Zhou just told Gu Tuo to leave."

Zhou Fengyun: "I didn't."

Yu Qing: "Which way did you go?"

Zhi Xihan pointed in a direction and said, "Over there, we've been walking for about ten minutes."

Yu Qing turned around and stepped onto the aircraft. Zhou Fengyun quickly boarded the aircraft, and the two of them flew away in a flash.

Zhi Xihan belatedly exclaimed, "Ah, that Captain Zhou named Zou Gutuo is a fake!"

"Was it true or false that the instructor who knocked us out was knocked out?" He Yu asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

No one could tell the difference.

＊

Not long after Yu Qing and Zhou Fengyun flew away, they saw the little dog running back.

When the little dog saw them, it barked and turned to run back in the direction where Gu Tuo had been taken away.

Yu Qing was in the air above, with a wide field of vision.

I can already see the man carrying Gu Tuo running wildly in the distance.

Before the aircraft even arrived, Zhou Fengyun's golden sword had already flown over first.

The man was about to carry the person onto the speedboat, but carrying someone was not easy and the speed obviously decreased.

The man gripping the steering wheel on the speedboat said in a panic, "Forget it, saving our lives is the priority. These two are too strong."

The man carrying the ancient rubbing gritted his teeth, threw the rubbing into the river, and immediately jumped into the speedboat.

The speedboat immediately sped away.

Zhou Fengyun looked at the face that the person turned around, and it was exactly the same as his own.

They can become so similar, no wonder ancient rubbings are indistinguishable.

Yu Qing: "Can you swim?"

Zhou Fengyun: "Yes."

Yu Qing: "I don't know how."

Zhou Fengyun: "Finally, there's something you can't do."

Yu Qing: "Okay, so you go."

The aircraft descended rapidly, and as it approached the river, Yu Qing pushed Zhou Fengyun off.

What should you do if your best friend falls into the water?

Push the leader who can swim down!

Zhou Fengyun was speechless, but he was going to jump anyway.

The anger naturally subsided.

Gu Tuo was unconscious in the water and was choked awake. He struggled and was pulled out by Zhou Fengyun.

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a big, round head.

Zhou Fengyun was also there.

Gu Tuo closed his eyes. It was all fake, all bad people.

"Gu Tuo, how are you?" Yu Qing asked.

Gu Tuo recognized the voice and opened his eyes to look at the mysterious big shot.

The face was not visible, and the voice sounded deeper and more resonant, as if muffled by a helmet, with an echo.

But he always felt a sense of familiarity.

A strange sense of familiarity.

"Are you... really me?"

Zhou Fengyun raised his hand in front of him, and a golden sword rose from his palm.

"That person can transform into my appearance, but he can't learn my skills."

Gu Tuo looked at the golden sword and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so unlucky..."

Yu Qing helped him sit up and saw that he was soaking wet, with water dripping from his hair.

When I placed my hand on his shoulder, a surge of heat quickly transferred to his clothes.

Gu Tuo's cold body instantly warmed up.

Steam was billowing from my clothes.

"How amazing." Gu Tuo watched as his clothes dried quickly, even though they were still steaming.

Zhou Fengyun was also soaking wet: "What about me?"

Yu Qing reached out and grabbed his forearm.

Soon, Zhou Fengyun also started smoking.

Gu Tuo said admiringly, "Your superpowers are all so amazing. My superpower is now barely enough to protect myself."

Zhou Fengyun encouraged him, "Don't be discouraged, the future is bright. By the way, where's that crystal?"

Zhou Fengyun looked at Yu Qing.

Yu Qing took it out of his pocket and handed it to Gu Tuo: "I obtained it in the secret realm. You should absorb it when you get back, and it should improve your strength a lot."

At this moment, the little mongrel finally ran to their side.

Yu Qing patted the little mongrel's head and said, "It was Ah Wang who found it."

"Really? That hound is amazing, thank you." Gu Tuo thanked the little dog, then turned to Yu Qing and Zhou Fengyun: "Thank you both for saving my life."

Yu Qing stood up and heard a distant rattling sound.

"The helicopter is here."

The rescue helicopter quickly arrived and hovered overhead.

Chu Yihou stood by the cabin door and waved.

The helicopter slowly descended and landed on the grass.

Chu Yihou was originally chasing them by car, but General Ling Zun directly sent a helicopter to pick them up and come to rescue them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get there this fast even if they were driving.

Everyone boarded the helicopter together.

This time, I truly felt safe.

Back in the city, everyone was taken to the hospital.

Zhi Xihan was the most seriously injured, but after the bullet was removed, stitches were put in, and he received intravenous nutrition, he recovered very quickly.

Gu Tuo drank a lot of dirty river water and was worried about getting infected. He had only superficial wounds on his body, but it wasn't a big problem.

After two days in the hospital, I can go home.

The seven kidnapped individuals left the hospital one after another, having added each other as WeChat friends before leaving.

There's another group of seven, all brothers who've been through thick and thin together.

Yu Qing returned to Anshi a day earlier than Gu Tuo.

With Zhou Fengyun backing him up, no one else could command Yu Qing.

Zhou Fengyun didn't return so quickly; his cultivation in the secret realm was still ongoing.

He was to assist in maintaining on-site safety.

After such a major accident in the first secret realm, patrols and defenses were strengthened afterwards.

The soldiers, fully armed, stood two meters apart, completely surrounding the secret realm.

Although he's a bit of a cripple, no one can sneak in under the cover of this.

＊

That day, Zhou Fengyun was summoned to Ling Zun's command room.

Also present were the directors of other branches of the Supernatural Abilities Bureau and authorities from the Supernatural Abilities Research Institute.

Everyone held a meeting specifically to address the situation that occurred during this secret realm training.

A representative from the research institute stated, "Our institute has launched a research project overnight to detect the hiding places of earth-based supernatural beings on the ground..."

The heads of each branch of the Supernatural Abilities Bureau expressed their opinions, making the scene very lively.

Zhou Fengyun didn't say much.

But I still couldn't avoid being targeted.

"Captain Zhou, is it possible to mass-produce the equipment of that big shot in your department?"

Once someone starts this trend, a whole bunch of people immediately follow suit.

"Yeah, if we could all have one of his aircraft, how strong would our combat power be?"

"Yeah, Captain Zhou, where did that aircraft come from? I've been looking for a long time but I can't find the same one."

"Captain Zhou, don't be stingy. Good things should be shared."

"That's right, that's right. Only when we all become stronger can our country and people be safer. Right now, foreign countries are eyeing us covetously. This time, they've even reached into our secret realm. So many people came at once, kidnapping and killing people. It's urgent for us to become stronger."

Everyone turned their attention to Zhou Fengyun.

Zhou Fengyun hated times like this the most; he felt very uncomfortable.

Is it his fault that everyone else can't become stronger?

But he couldn't bring himself to say those words.

At that moment, he suddenly envied A Ding's arrogance and domineering attitude.

Being wild can also help avoid a lot of negative emotions.

"Captain Zhou, say something."

Zhou Fengyun glanced at everyone and said, "I don't know where his equipment came from, and he won't tell me. If you want to know, come to Anshi another day and ask him yourself."

"What are you saying? You're his superior. If you ask, do you think he won't give it to you?" the man laughed, his eyes revealing contempt. It was obvious that Zhou Fengyun didn't want them to have a flying machine.

Zhou Fengyun shrugged: "I asked, but he wouldn't give it to me. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone in my branch office have a flying machine by now? Do you think I, the director, have one yet?"

"Then it must be because you didn't ask. You're the director, and he's your subordinate. Is there anything you can't get? You just don't want to give it to us."

Zhou Fengyun's eyes turned cold as he said, "I'm the bureau chief, not a bandit. My subordinates have their own equipment, which belongs to them personally. If they don't want to give it to me or they don't have anyone else to give it to, why should I take it from them? Is this how you bureau chiefs are? I really don't understand this rule."

"You!" The person who was choked immediately looked at Ling Zun.

I don't know which side Ling Zun is on, but I bet Ling Zun also wants the flying machine, right?

"Captain Zhou, aren't you doing anything for the benefit of everyone?"

The person next to him chimed in, "Yes, the aircraft on the market now are all very large and thick, and they're not very fast. The main problem is their range. His aircraft seems to be able to fly for several days without needing to recharge. What is its energy source? If we can figure that out, it will be helpful to our research institute."

"And his clothing, it really is bulletproof and explosion-proof. He was completely unharmed in such a huge energy explosion. What kind of new material is that?"

"And that helmet, I always felt that helmet was not simple, it must be some kind of black technology."

"Yes, yes, I also saw that his mask had emojis on it."

"Does he have a personal storage space? I saw his knife disappear in a flash."

Zhou Fengyun remained silent, then looked at Ling Zun: "What does the General think?"

Ling Zun's face remained calm.

It's impossible to tell what he's thinking.

Everyone was looking at him; it was very quiet at that moment.

Ling Zun slowly spoke: "Don't worry about the equipment. The most important thing now is for everyone to work hard to improve your strength. Equipment is just an aid; strength is the only thing that matters. You don't think that giving you a set of top-tier equipment will make you invincible, do you?"

Everyone was speechless.

No one dared to speak.

After the meeting.

Ling Zun asked Zhou Fengyun to talk to him about A Ding's matter alone.

"Did he develop his own equipment?"

Zhou Fengyun: "I don't know. He didn't say anything about the equipment. I made his file myself. It was our agreement. I won't pry into his privacy. He works for the Superpower Bureau. With his abilities, if I overstep my bounds, he will definitely disappear without a trace. I don't think we need to break this balance for that little bit of equipment."

"I agree with what you said, but I also hope that our equipment can be improved. You've done your best."

Zhou Fengyun remained silent.

Ling Zun didn't say anything more.

＊

In the small apartment.

Yu Qing was wearing a light yellow hooded loungewear.

A hot pot with two broths was already set up on the coffee table.

There was meat all around the pot, but only a bowl of green vegetables and mushrooms.

As soon as Gu Tuo entered, he saw a table full of delicious food.

Excitedly, he threw down his backpack and ran over.

"Ah!!! I really want to eat meat!"

Yu Qing laughed and said, "Is there no meat to eat over there?"

"Yes, it is, but it doesn't taste good." Gu Tuo looked at Yu Qing with a touched expression. "Qingqing, you're so good to me."

"I've started cooking. Go take a shower and change your clothes, then you can eat. You're so dark and thin now, you need to eat more."

"I've gotten so tanned!" Gu Tuo walked up to the mirror, looked at himself, and lifted his chin to examine his jawline. "My jawline is so defined now."

Gu Tuo turned to look at Yu Qing, "Qingqing, you've lost a lot of weight too. Have you been not eating anything these past few days?"

"How could that be? I eat a lot, it's probably because the baby is absorbing too much of my nutrients."

The little monster beside them watched them, its big eyes darting around.

But his mouth was already stuffed with a beef ball, so he wouldn't say a word he shouldn't.

"Then you should eat more too." Gu Tuo quickly went to take a shower, wash his hair, and change into some comfortable clothes.

He hadn't been able to shower for several days after this trip, only managing to wash his face briefly at the water source in the secret realm. Luckily, he had brought disposable underwear, which allowed him to quickly soak in the water and wash away the grime when no one was around.

Otherwise it would really stink.

When I got back, I washed my hair, and it took five rubs of shampoo to get any lather.

After washing my hair, my head felt so light.

Any poke on his body will leave a trail of mud.

He laughed as he washed himself; he had never been so dirty in his life.

I grabbed a bath brush and scrubbed myself thoroughly.

When Gu Tuo came out, he was walking a little unsteadily.

"I feel like I've washed away ten pounds of mud."

Yu Qing laughed heartily; he felt the same way after washing his hair and taking a shower when he got back.

Gu Tuo sat down next to Yu Qing, took out the colorful crystal, and said, "Look."

"Wow, this looks great! You've learned a lot. Go ahead and try absorbing it!" Yu Qing urged.

"Let's eat first, I'm so hungry." Gu Tuo put the crystal in the drawer of the coffee table.

He immediately picked up his chopsticks and started cooking the meat.

After eating until he was half full, Gu Tuo began to recount his experiences over the past few days.

Yu Qing listened with great interest and laughed along with him.

"You said that superhuman can transform into anyone around us at will. It's impossible to guard against. What if one day he transforms into you to deceive me, or transforms into me to deceive you?" Gu Tuo asked.

Yu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's set a secret code."

As Yu Qing spoke, he grabbed the little monster and placed it in front of him. "The three of us will set a secret code that we can't tell anyone else, so as not to be fooled."

The little monster nodded; this was interesting, and he liked it.

Gu Tuo asked, "What kind of code?"

"This superhuman transforms into someone around us to deceive people. His purpose is probably only one of these few: to lure people to a place, or to steal some information. The worst thing he can do is trick you into opening the door and killing you. That way, we all have keys and won't ring the doorbell. If we lose our keys one day and need to enter the house, we won't ring the doorbell, we'll just knock on the door."

Yu Qing tapped on the table, three long taps followed by one short tap, then three long taps followed by two short taps, and finally seven taps followed by three short taps.

“Repeat this rhythm. If it doesn’t sound right, don’t open the door.”

Gu Tuo started tapping on the table: "That's good, that's settled. If one day you see me through the peephole and I keep ringing the doorbell, don't open the door."

Yu Qing and Gu Tuo tapped on the table together and asked the little monster, "Have you learned it?"

"I wouldn't dare drive it for anyone anyway," the little monster said, shrugging.

Yu Qing grabbed his hand and made him try to knock on it.

Just in case, you need to get used to this rhythm.

"Alright, alright." The little monster squatted down and joined them in banging on the table.

Gu Tuo then asked, "What if he stole my keys and I ended up getting into the house?"

Yu Qing thought for a moment, "This is a bit tricky. If we find that the other party's behavior is not right, we will pick up our phones and pretend to order takeout. I will say that I will order your favorite grilled intestines. If you ask me, I will say that I will order my favorite stinky tofu."

Gu Tuo immediately understood; they were both saying what the other hated most to eat.

"What if the other person finds out all our preferences?"

“Then we’ll just have to use hand gestures. We’ll remember these three ways of making a heart shape. If we have any doubts, we’ll make a heart shape for the other person. We’ll only choose one of these three ways to make a heart shape for them, and we can’t repeat the same one.” Yu Qing said, then made a heart shape for Gu Tuo in all three ways. “If the other person tries to imitate our heart shape, it will definitely be fake. We’ll repeat it a few more times. If the other person uses a different way, it’s still fake. In that case, we need to find a way to escape.”

"no problem!"

Gu Tuo and Yu Qing frantically made heart shapes with their hands for each other.

It's actually quite easy to reflexively imitate the other person's heart-shaped hand gesture.

So they need to desensitize themselves by making heart shapes with their hands like crazy to train their reaction speed.

They were seriously studying their secret codes, while simultaneously finding it very amusing and laughing uncontrollably.

The little monster held up three fingers, struggling to imitate the pen refill gesture.

Finally, he said angrily, "I don't even have enough fingers."

These words made Yu Qing and Gu Tuo laugh out loud again.

After they had played enough, the two of them collapsed on the sofa and didn't move.

The little monster lay directly on the coffee table, its belly protruding.

Having laughed too much just now, Gu Tuo suddenly became sad and said very seriously, "It's really hard to be a strong person who can protect others."

Yu Qing replied casually, "Yes."

Gu Tuo sighed, "When danger comes, everyone is afraid, but because they are strong and bear heavy responsibilities, they have to rush to the front. When I saw those big shots fighting with the invaders, I was so scared. If they died, those of us who were being protected would only receive a few words of regret. If I put myself in their shoes, if I were a strong person and I died protecting everyone, all I would get in return would be a few words from others, and I don't think I would feel at peace... I'm not that great. They rushed to the front without hesitation, which is really great. I probably could never do what they did in my entire life."

Gu Tuo suddenly felt sad, and Yu Qing turned to look at him.

She reached out and grabbed his hand. "Don't force yourself, and don't envy others too much. Just think of yourself as a weak person, and do your best to protect yourself."

Gu Tuo nodded: "That's what I think too. As long as I don't hold others back, that's good enough. Anyway, my abilities are limited right now."

"That's right, there's no use in overthinking it, and to truly protect everyone, it's never just one person."

Gu Tuo turned to look at Yu Qing, "Your words suddenly seem so profound."

"Didn't I have this before?"

"No." Gu Tu shook his head mercilessly.

“Okay, I’ve reached a higher level now.” Yu Qing nodded seriously.

Gu Tuo laughed heartily.

“It’s even gotten bigger, yeah, you’re going to be a dad soon.” Gu Tuo touched his belly. “Huh? It really has gotten bigger.”

"Really?" Yu Qing touched his face. "Did you eat too much?"

Yu Qing plans to go for a prenatal checkup tomorrow.

There have been too many activities lately, so it's best to get checked out to be on the safe side.

The next day, they both slept until the afternoon. Gu Tuo was exhausted, so he ordered takeout, ate, and continued to lie down, not wanting to get up at all.

Yu Qing still got up, went downstairs to throw out the trash, and went to the hospital for a check-up.

The examination results showed that the baby is developing well and is a healthy baby.

However, he is a little calcium deficient, and the doctor suggested that he get more sun exposure or take calcium supplements.

Yu Qing had bought calcium tablets before, but he was just too lazy to take them.

Although he often goes out, he wears his battle suit and uses too much sun protection, so he doesn't get any calcium.

So when he came back, he rolled up his sleeves and walked back in the sun.

When I got home, I ordered takeout again.

Another lazy day has passed.

Anshi has been very peaceful these past few days, and he doesn't need to go to work, enjoying a leisurely life as a soon-to-be-graduated college student.

I go to and from get out of class with Gu Tuo every day.

Yang Wenli was still very interested in his graduation project and would chat with him every now and then.

I want him to draw a few more.

Yu Qing laughed it off and didn't draw it for him.

But this person was suspicious, and Yu Qing made a note of it.

That evening, Gu Tuo suddenly remembered the crystal in the drawer, and he took it out and looked it over.

The little monster ran over, stood on the coffee table, and looked up.

"It's a good thing."

"Do you know him?" Gu Tuo asked.

"Isn't this a crystal? I'm so confused..." The little monster covered its mouth with both hands.

Gu Tuo glanced at him sideways: "What are you trying to say?"

"I don't have any. I know about crystals, but I'm dead and I don't have any crystals. Don't try to take advantage of me." The little monster quickly changed his tune, almost letting slip the secret.

"Don't worry, even if I kill you, I'll still get a hundred crystals from you."

The little monster's eyes lit up; it was touched: "Really?"

"Of course," Gu Tuo assured, placing the crystal in his palm and pressing his hands together.

He closed his eyes and began to sense the crystal in his palm.

When Yu Qing returned from outside, he saw Gu Tuo absorbing the crystal. Without disturbing him, he tiptoed into the kitchen and placed the vegetables on the cutting board.

He wanted to make himself some black chicken soup.

I bought a black-boned chicken, but I don't know how to stew it.

A thought suddenly struck him, and he sent a message to Zhou Fengyun: "How can I make a simple and delicious black chicken soup?"

Zhou Fengyun replied, "Come to my house for a drink, it's simple, convenient, and delicious."

——

Outside the residential area, the little stray dog ​​sniffed here and there.

Ji Qinian looked up at the apartment buildings inside the community fence.

Such an amazing person, living here?
