For the base commander, today is the happiest day in more than 20 years.
It was also the most lively day.
Since the loss of his child and the death of his wife, he has never celebrated any holidays. Even the Lunar New Year is no different from any other day for him.
Today is a fairly ordinary day, not a holiday. The outside world is still terrible; the apocalypse is not over, and the zombies are still howling.
He cherished this day more than any holiday he had ever experienced before.
A group of people ate barbecue from sunset until the stars filled the sky.
We also ate dinner together.
After finishing their meal, the two elderly men, Wang and Liu, returned to the green garbage truck, snoring loudly.
The old men sleep so soundly. They can sleep so peacefully not only in a safe base, but even outside, they can sleep soundly as long as they close the car door.
They had strong mental fortitude and weren't worried at all when a zombie suddenly rushed over and bit them.
At worst, we'll scream and jump around together, we're not afraid at all!
After the two elderly men, Wang and Liu, finished their meal and went home, the base chief remained.
The base commander quickly helped pack things up, and even mopped the bus floor clean. While Leng Yebai wasn't looking, he quickly ran upstairs and helped tidy up Leng Yebai's blankets.
They were folded neatly.
This is all thanks to the old father's good intentions.
Finally, everyone stopped, but the base commander was still busy, bringing out a basin of water and a rag from the kitchen.
We're going to clean the exterior of the bus.
Bai Zhengxuan is a water-based ability user, and he does most of the housework, including washing and cleaning.
The base commander's act of cleaning the bus with a rag was completely unnecessary, but he clearly didn't think it was superfluous and prepared to wipe the bus's surface with a serious expression.
"It's too late, you should go home."
Leng Yebai stood expressionless behind the base commander, a hint of helplessness showing on his usually aloof face.
With a father suddenly appearing in his life, Leng Yebai really didn't know how to get along with him.
His feelings for the base commander were very complicated. He did feel a little resentful that his parents had lost him, but he also felt a little bit of joy.
At least, he wasn't abandoned.
"I'm not sleepy, I can work a little longer."
The base commander paused, then picked up a rag with a serious expression and began to wipe the surface of the bus properly, his eyes glancing furtively at Leng Yebai with a slightly lewd look.
“This doesn’t need wiping. You’re not sleepy, but everyone is. It’s too late.” Leng Yebai paused, then added, “Come back tomorrow…!”
This was the first time Leng Yebai had taken the initiative to ask the base commander to come over.
"oh……"
The base commander paused for a moment, but his hands continued wiping the bus clean.
They showed no sign of intending to leave.
"Is there anything else?" Leng Yebai asked.
No, I don't think so.
The base commander's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the rag.
"Never mind if you don't have it, I'm leaving."
Leng Yebai turned and left.
Just as Leng Yebai was about to board the bus, the base commander's voice rang out from behind him.
Can I take you to see your mother?
The base commander didn't look at Leng Yebai, and kept wiping the same spot repeatedly with the rag in his hand.
Leng Yebai paused for a moment, then continued walking towards the bus without saying a word.
The base commander suddenly deflated, his shoulders slumped, and he listlessly wiped the same spot.
From the beginning until now, he has been wiping the same surface.
In the end, the son still couldn't get over that hurdle; to be honest, no one could get over it.
The base commander sighed deeply and glanced at the stars in the sky.
I wonder if my wife is doing well in heaven, and if she has seen that her son has been found.
She would be so happy if she knew!
"When are you going? Why are you still washing the car?"
Leng Yebai's voice suddenly rang out behind the base commander.
The base commander turned around abruptly and immediately saw Leng Yebai and Bai Xizhu standing beside him.
"You, you..."
The base commander didn't realize what was going on for a long time.
"Are you going or not? If not, forget it."
Leng Yebai's lips curled up slightly as he reached out and hooked Bai Xizhu's finger with his own.
An ugly daughter-in-law will eventually have to meet her parents-in-law.
Of course, with his daughter being so beautiful, she's naturally even less afraid to meet her in-laws!
He felt that if he were to visit his mother, he should bring Xiaozhu along. He had found such a wonderful wife, and he was determined to show her to her.
"Go, go, go right now!" The base commander nodded repeatedly, a smile instantly spreading across his face.
It would be even better if the daughter-in-law went. I believe Hua would be very pleased to see such a well-behaved, cute, and adorable daughter-in-law.
The base commander walked ahead with a smile, thinking to himself that his son was quite lucky to have found such a well-behaved daughter-in-law!
Yunhua Safe Base is the former manor of the base chief. Even though it has been transformed into a safe base, earth-type ability users still specially surrounded his private area.
Only a small door was opened.
The entrance to the private courtyard is located at the back of the base building, and only one person can pass through at a time.
After Bai Xizhu and her companion followed the base leader through the small entrance, their view suddenly opened up.
What comes into view is a small flower bed overgrown with weeds, where it's impossible to distinguish which are flowers and which are newly grown weeds.
