Chapter 164 Outsiders
After leaving the laboratory, Sui Cheng was summoned away by the people who raised evil spirits, while Lu Zhi took Wen Wen home by himself.
As soon as she got home, Wenwen learned that she had to go on a diet. She curled up on the sofa and silently shed tears.
Seeing this, Sui Ling felt heartbroken and quickly comforted her, "This is only temporary. It's not like you can't eat it at all. You just need to eat a little less. Be good, don't cry."
Wenwen's usually lively tail was drooping listlessly beside the sofa.
"Let him cry. He'll behave when he's hungry," Lu Zhi said sarcastically from the side.
As soon as Wenwen heard the word "hunger," he thought of his diet. He cried because he was hungry and had nothing to eat, which was even worse. He quickly wiped away his tears.
Sui Ling was amazed by how quickly he changed his expression. She wiped the child's tears with a tissue and laughed, "So he stopped crying because he knew he was hungry and wouldn't get anything to eat?"
"Waaah~" Wenwen still had a wronged expression, and directly hugged Suiling's arm, snuggling into her arms, looking both cute and pitiful.
Lu Zhi yawned and said, "You two stay home and rest. I'm going out for a bit."
Wenwen quickly poked her head out and asked, "Where is Father going?"
"Pick up your dad." Lu Zhi waved his hand casually and slammed the door shut.
...
Dang Hongyuan was also in Yangxie's office.
"You're here. Please sit down."
Sui Cheng nodded slightly, sat down opposite them, and asked, "Did you call me for something?"
"Well, we've been preparing for the construction of the Sixth District recently, but we suddenly received a message saying that some alien species haven't been completely eliminated. Since you happen to have some free time, you can go and investigate."
"That's all?" The attendant was a little puzzled. Shouldn't he have been called over specifically to tell him this?
"Of course not, I called you here mainly for another matter." Dang Hongyuan took out a folder, opened it, and found a stack of photos inside, which appeared to be scenes from a certain city.
“Some ignorant people have trespassed into China’s territory and even planned to occupy an abandoned city as their base,” Dang Hongyuan said in a deep voice.
Sui Cheng's expression changed drastically; this was no small matter. He quickly asked, "Where did these people come from?"
“They came from the sea.” Yang Xie spread the photos out on the table. Some of them were of large cruise ships at sea, flying the American flag. “A year ago, the other surviving countries in the world established federal bases and entered the coastal areas through the high seas before the Great Anomaly began. But they didn’t expect to encounter a tsunami, which forced them to enter the inland areas.”
Dang Hongyuan pointed to a photo and said in a deep voice, "They are currently in Guangdong. The coastal cities are almost all submerged, and the alien species in the sea have also come ashore. They dare not get too close to the base."
"Okay, I understand." The passenger asked them for a few specific locations.
Dang Hongyuan added, "The base's signal station will be fully repaired in a short time. You can take this with you."
He took out a watch with a lit screen and handed it to his entourage, explaining, "It functions similarly to a mobile phone. You can send messages and make calls to the base. Our contact information is stored on it. It also has a location sending function, which ensures we can check your location at any time."
Sui Cheng put on the watch, tried it on, and found that it worked normally. He nodded and asked, "Any more?"
"I knew you'd want more, so here you go." Yang Xie pulled out a bag filled with smartwatches. "Brand new, not activated yet."
Thank you.
Dang Hongyuan asked him, "When do you plan to leave?"
"Tomorrow," the passenger said.
"How many people are you planning to bring?" he asked again.
The attendant thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Dang Hongyuan seemed to have guessed what he was going to say. Yang Xie patted his hand and said, "One alien species is enough for the law enforcement."
Sui Cheng nodded; that was exactly what he thought. One person like Lu Zhi was worth a thousand troops.
"They're gone."
The passenger waved to them, put the packed documents in a bag, and left.
Outside the building, he saw Lu Zhi, who had been waiting for who knows how long, standing under a tree, looking like he was squatting there counting ants.
Sui Cheng smiled helplessly and walked towards him.
"Let's go." The attendant patted his head.
Lu Zhi tilted his head back and hugged him in that position, leaning his body into his arms. "Let me catch my breath, my legs are numb."
How long have you been squatting there?
Not long after.
After returning home, I told Lu Zhi about it. Lu Zhi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Indeed, taking me is enough. Not only can the others not help, but they'll also be third wheels."
Sui Cheng pinched his cheek, but Lu Zhi pulled him into his arms and kissed him for a while before continuing, "We can't leave Wenwen at home, it's not safe. We have to bring him along too. Thinking about it this way, it's like a family of three going on a trip."
"You're such a chatterbox." The servant sighed, bit his lip, and pushed him away while he winced in pain, saying, "Then hurry up and pack your luggage!"
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Lu Zhi kissed him on the lips several times before reluctantly letting go.
When Ling heard that they were going on a mission, he raised his hand to go with them.
When the passenger disagreed, she glanced at Wenwen, who was playing with a fork in the high chair and staring longingly at the food on the table, and said, "But there must be some inconveniences for you to have Wenwen with you, right? I can help you take care of the child, and you don't have to worry about my safety, my precognitive abilities are already very accurate."
After she finished speaking, she carefully examined the face of the person in the carriage and found that he remained unmoved.
But the lawyer was persuaded by her.
With Wenwen around, there are indeed many inconveniences, such as between him and his chauffeur...
“Honey, Xiaoling is right. We’re busy investigating those outsiders and guarding against alien species. It’s really inconvenient to bring Wenwen along. Why don’t we bring Xiaoling with us?”
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Sui Cheng pinched his waist and said sternly, "With you here, the alien species are nothing to fear, but those outsiders are indeed a problem."
He glanced at Sui Ling and saw that her face was full of expectation and pleading, so he sighed and said, "Then let's go together."
"Great!" Sui Ling happily raised her hand.
She was so bored at the base that she could finally go out for a walk.
Before setting off, she predicted what would happen next and felt more at ease after finding that there was no danger.
The next morning, they packed their things and set off.
Wearing sunglasses, Lu Zhi sat in the driver's seat, casually whistling at the passengers, and laughed, "Is this considered an early honeymoon?"
Sui Ling hugged Wenwen in the back seat and whispered, "Wenwen and I are still here."
"Drive carefully." The passenger pulled down his sunglasses and patted his face.
With one hand on the steering wheel, Lu Zhi grabbed Sui Cheng's hand, which Sui Cheng hadn't had time to retract, and bit his wrist, saying, "Let's go!"
