Chapter 217 The Wind Rises Across the Seas, Take Care, Everyone!
As morning light shone through the curtains, everyone had already returned to the villa where they were staying.
Shi Xu followed Lu Nange closely, almost slipping into her room—
"Bang!"
The three siblings' fists landed simultaneously.
With his face bruised and swollen, Shi Xu finally behaved and was dragged back to his room by He Zhuo and Gu Qi.
When Lu Nange woke up, there was a wronged figure huddled outside the door.
If Gu Wan hadn't stopped him in time, drawn by his good looks, saying, "Nan Nan, don't hit him! It would be such a waste to ruin his face,"...
Shi Xu is probably going to get beaten up again.
The aroma of braised beef brisket wafted from the dining table—this was something Wen Qing and Luo Xingyou had prepared and stored in their storage space.
Shi Xu reached out to grab the noodles, but Lu Nange slapped his hand with a chopstick.
"Waaah...Mommy..."
His eyes were red, but he stood up straight, exuding an aura of grievance.
Hearing the commotion, Lu Xici and his companions arrived and saw what was happening...
"Got beaten up again?" Gu Qi raised an eyebrow.
He Zhuo: "The brat has rebelled again?"
Luo Xingyou sighed, "He wants to eat the noodles with his hands."
Seeing his older sister's utterly dejected expression, Lu Beiye, like a little adult, straightened his face and earnestly demonstrated: "Watch closely, these are called chopsticks. You eat noodles like this—pick them up with chopsticks."
Wen Qing couldn't help but ruffle his little head: "Our little A-Ye is so amazing!"
Chi Yanzhou glanced at the sky: "After we finish eating the noodles, we can set off..."
Lu Nange: "Yeah, if it's any later, we might have to repeat last night's scene."
Gu Wan shuddered: "That's terrifying! Show it off quickly, then leave..."
After the meal, everyone began to categorize the supplies taken from each area so that Lu Nange could store them in her spatial storage.
Everyone was dressed the same as when they entered the base, but Shi Xu insisted on changing into all black.
Luo Xingyou looked at Gu Wan and said, "When you don't speak, you do have something to say, no wonder you're drooling!"
Gu Wan nodded, patting her shoulder: "Sister, you understand me!"
As Chi Yi passed by Yu Li's villa, he approached and stuck a note on it. The handwriting was neat: "Sister, brother-in-law, we're leaving!"
As the sun gradually turned orange-red, the group hurried toward the outer wall.
The streets were deserted, but Lu Nange sensed through her mental power that there was movement coming from the surrounding houses.
"The residents need to come out and move around, we need to speed things up," she whispered, and everyone quickened their pace in unison.
Upon reaching the outer wall and the entrance to the base, the heavy iron gates were tightly closed.
He Zhuo: "Should we knock?"
Chi Yanzhou shook his head: "You and Ji Xian build an earthen ladder."
Without saying a word, Ji Xian waved his hands.
As earth-based powers surged, a sturdy earthen ladder rose from the ground to the top of the wall.
Just as they were scaling the wall, guards from both the Liu and Han families rushed out of the gate.
"What are you all doing here?" Liu's guard asked, bending over and panting.
"Leave the city," Chi Yanzhou replied briefly.
The guard immediately understood: "The base commander instructed that you and your entourage have the highest authority. Please follow me."
At that moment, Yu Li, clutching the farewell note, was rushing towards the outer wall with Liu Hanhai.
"It's too late!" Liu Hanhai pulled out his walkie-talkie and his voice boomed across the public channel: "Attention all guards on the outer wall! Xiao Lu and the others are leaving the base. Your sister-in-law and I still have things to deliver. Guards, try to stop them and have them wait for us at the gate!"
The shout was like a pebble thrown into calm water.
Zhong Song and his group were the first to react, followed by a loud-voiced guard shouting, "Are our benefactors leaving?"
The news spread like wildfire.
The entire base suddenly awoke.
People grabbed some supplies from their homes and poured out from every corner, all heading in the same direction—the exterior wall.
Just as Liu's guards led Lu Nange and the others through the first fence, a shout suddenly came from behind: "Brother Kai! You took the wrong key!"
Kai took out his keychain, feigning confusion: "Huh?"
He turned to Lu Nange and the others with an apologetic smile: "Please rest under the shade of the tree for a while, I'll go get a new key."
When he reached his companion Hu Bo, he asked, "What happened? I've had the keys with me the whole time."
The other person immediately lowered their voice: "The base commander has ordered that our benefactors be kept alive at all costs! He and Mrs. Yu are on their way."
Kai suddenly raised his voice: "You! You chased after me without even bringing the right key?"
He then turned around with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, gentlemen, this lad is confused. I'll have him go get the keys right away."
Chi Yanzhou and his group nodded slightly.
Lu Nange kept using her mental energy to probe the movement on the outer wall, ignoring the interior of the base.
After waiting for more than ten minutes without seeing anyone, she expanded her perception range—"Oh no! Everyone in the entire base is rushing this way!"
Gu Wan: "What happened?"
Lu Xici said, "It would be best to withdraw first."
"Let's go!" Lu Nange made a decisive decision.
Kai, who was craning his neck to look around, suddenly turned around when he heard the noise and saw several figures rushing towards the exit.
"Hey everyone! Don't go!" His shouts echoed across the empty outer wall.
The macaw instantly grew larger, carrying two on its back, one in its beak, and two more in its claws, before flying out the gate.
"Damn it!" Kai slammed his fist on his thigh, shaking dust off his trouser leg.
When Lu Nange and her group were all standing outside the outer wall, dust was already rising in the distance.
Liu Hanhai and You Li led a large, dark crowd as they rushed over, their footsteps causing the ground to tremble slightly.
"Base Commander! They...they're all gone!" Kai's voice was urgent.
Liu Hanhai's chest heaved violently: "How long have you been walking?"
"Just left! Just now!"
Yuri: "Stop talking nonsense, Lao Liu, you go to the main gate, I'll go check the central platform."
The crowd dispersed like a tide.
Some followed Liu Hanhai toward the gate, while others chased after You Li toward the central platform.
Many people were also climbing the watchtowers around the area, the ladders clattering underfoot.
As the doors swung open with a roar, Yuri's figure appeared at the highest point of the platform—
"Little Song!"
"My benefactors!"
"Masters..."
The shouts that rose and fell made Lu Nange pause as she was about to retrieve her car from her spatial storage.
Everyone turned around at the same time.
Yuri shouted through a megaphone, "Come back quickly! Your brother-in-law and I have prepared some things for your journey. Take them before you go!"
Behind her, thousands chanted in unison, "Me too! We're all ready!"
Liu Hanhai had already rushed out the door: "Don't move! We'll take it over!"
Using the backpack as a cover, Lu Nange actually pulled out a megaphone from her spatial storage: "Sister, brother-in-law, everyone, thank you! We've taken our heartfelt wishes with us! May you all take care, Feng Qi Si Hai!"
Yuri's eyes instantly welled up with tears: "You brat, as long as your sister and brother-in-law are alive, this will always be your home! We're waiting for you to come back!"
"Great masters, we're waiting for you to come back!"
"Our benefactors! You must come back!"
"be safe!"
Lu Nange and the others shouted together, "Let's go back! See you next time..."
The moment they turned around, everyone raised their right hands and waved.
The sunlight stretched their silhouettes long and thin, as if to be forever imprinted on this land.
Yuri watched the figures recede into the distance and murmured, "You must live well!"
