Even if Gou Fugui were willing, he couldn't possibly take out his personal space to show to these people who were staring at him with gleaming eyes.
Therefore, he could only cooperate with the research institute to conduct an energy survey, which revealed that there was indeed a shielded and hidden energy space around him. This energy space would not cause him any physical harm or burden, once again drawing hatred from the unlucky among those who were considered unlucky.
However, this was certainly a good thing. After Gou Fugui and the other three underwent a thorough physical examination and confirmed that there were no problems and that they had not brought anything they should not have brought into this world, Minister Tu directly granted them five days of leave, allowing them to rest well during these five days and reunite with their family and friends at home.
"Thank you for your hard work... Although I would like to give you a few more days off, the 'knife' hanging over our heads will keep us from feeling at ease as long as it exists."
Minister Tu looked at the four outstanding soldiers before him, his eyes filled with apology and helplessness: "Only after the real battle is over can the soldiers who participated and the world get a real rest."
Xie Tianlang and Si Wuyai's expressions remained completely unchanged. For these two people who worked almost year-round and had no ties, they truly did not yearn for a long vacation.
However, Xie Tianlang glanced at his Yuanyuan with some pleasure, at least this time he could rest at his eldest sister's house with Yuanyuan.
Song Sanchuan and Gou Fugui did not show any dissatisfaction. Of course, they knew that what Minister Tu said was correct. As the true saviors who entered the Gate of Doomsday, they also hoped to close the Gate of Doomsday as soon as possible so that the world where they were born and raised could continue to develop peacefully for a long time.
“Five days is enough! When I was doing overseas missions with the boss, I couldn’t go home for two or three years. Besides, in my parents’ minds, I’m in logistics, so they won’t worry about me too much. They’ll definitely cook lots of delicious food for me when I get back in five days,” Song Sanchuan said cheerfully.
Gou Fugui also felt that five days would be enough. "Don't we only have four Doomsday Gates left in Huazhou? People have already entered the other three, so of course we have to deal with the last big one as well!"
"If all goes well, the Doomsday Gates of the entire Washington State might be closed or reclaimed by the time we get out! When that happens, Minister, you'll have to give me a few months' vacation!"
Minister Tu imagined the wonderful scene of the gates of doomsday closing together, and a smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, once we really get through this doomsday calamity, you can have a paid vacation for life!"
These words instantly made Gou Fugui's eyes light up like light bulbs.
He pressed the video recording function on his wristwatch and said to Minister Tu with particular sincerity, "Minister, I didn't hear you clearly just now, could you say it again?"
Minister Tu was so angry at the kid's cunning attempt to record the conversation as evidence that he laughed: "Get lost, you brat! I never break my word!"
Then the four of them left happily. However, apart from Song Sanchuan, Xie Tianlang and Si Wuyai got on the same helicopter with Gou Fugui and headed to Gou Fugui's house.
"The research fanatic went to my house to pick up Orange, what are you doing here causing trouble?"
The wealthy and beautiful woman sat in the helicopter, arms crossed, eyebrows raised, looking at Xie Tianlang. Her posture, expression, and every glance and gesture showed her disdain.
Si Wuyai, who was pretending to read a book, curled his lips into a smug smile.
Xie Tianlang didn't care at all about Xinshangyuan's disdain: "Your home is my home, and my home is your home. We are already a family, so of course I have to go home with you."
The handsome young man with long hair let out a particularly mocking "ha!" at this moment, while simultaneously activating the video playback function on his appearance: "Who said we're family? What kind of vicious family is this?!"
At this moment, Gou Fugui's watch face was displaying images of Xie Tianlang uncontrollably punching Jin Gui Yuanyuan from various angles. If you listened carefully, you could also hear Jin Gui Fugui cursing and telling Xie Tianlang to wait and kneel on a washboard.
Xie Tianlang: "..." So that's where they were waiting for him.
He watched himself lose control in the video. Even though the rich and powerful figure in the video was wrapped in a blanket and his bloodline's defensive power meant that his fists could hardly cause any serious damage, the evidence was irrefutable.
Xie Langren never intended to deny it.
"That bastard is a real scoundrel! How could he hit my sweetheart! If I were here, I would have chopped his hand off! No one can bully my Yuanyuan, and if anyone hits you, I'll hit them a hundred times over!"
Xie Tianlang immediately launched into a tirade of harsh words. If Gou Fugui hadn't known that he was cursing the person in the video, judging from his righteous and righteous demeanor, he would have thought that the person in the video wasn't Xie Tianlang at all.
While that's probably not true, such a reaction left even the wealthy beauty, who wanted to confront them and throw a washboard, speechless.
Instead, Si Wuyai, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, gave Xie Tianlang a thumbs up at this moment.
"I am not as good as you."
You're the kind of guy who'll even curse yourself when you get really ruthless!
This shows just how utterly shameless this guy, known as the God of War in the military, is!
So when Zheng Ronghua, carrying the much fatter Orange, met her younger brother and his two comrades-in-arms in front of the villa, she noticed that her brother's expression was quite subtle.
Especially the way the younger brother would occasionally roll his eyes at that tall, handsome man who was inexplicably fierce, and the way that man looked at the younger brother...
Having once risen to the rank of a club queen, Zheng Ronghua was not so oblivious to this kind of gaze and the ambiguous atmosphere between her brother and this man.
So the beautiful older sister's aura changed almost instantly.
She treated Si Wuyai with the same warmth and friendliness she would show her brother, a comrade-in-arms. When she saw Ju Zuo off, she gave Si Wuyai many gifts that she had prepared for Ju Zuo.
The moment Si Wuyai turned around with the cat in his arms, Zheng Ronghua's sharp gaze fell directly on Xie Tianlang.
"Mr. Xie."
Xie Tianlang had encountered all sorts of powerful, ruthless, and insane people, but he had never felt any fear.
But when facing this stunning woman who, even in high heels, seemed to be a centimeter taller than Gou Fugui, Xie Langren felt a sense of nervousness for the first time.
He even hesitated to look directly into Zheng Ronghua's phoenix eyes, which, like her brother's, had upturned corners.
"Hello, elder sister."
Zheng Ronghua raised his eyebrows: "It's not certain who's older between us."
Xie Tianlang felt like he'd been stabbed in the back by age, but he absolutely couldn't back down now: "You're Yuan and Fugui's older sister, so of course you're my older sister too."
"Moreover, being older means I can take better care of and protect Fugui."
Zheng Ronghua gave a very direct and sarcastic laugh.
But she didn't say anything more to Xie Tianlang. Instead, she suddenly turned her head and met the eyes of Gou Fugui, who was also inexplicably nervous and guilty.
Gou Fugui felt even less confident when facing his older sister. He still vividly remembered being suppressed by his sister when they were children, being beaten and forced to do their homework.
"Hey, sis, why are you looking at me like that? I had a really tough mission and almost died, and now all I want is to eat the delicious meal you made! I also want you to comb my hair."
"Would you like me to give you another massage, watch you get into bed, and then lull you to sleep?"
Gou Fugui nearly choked, shaking his head like a rattle: "Then no need, I can sleep by myself."
Xie Tianlang stood to the side, secretly thinking to himself that if he could, he could give his beloved Xinyuan a bedtime massage and then lull him to sleep.
Just when Gou Fugui thought Zheng Ronghua was about to give him a stern lecture or directly question him about his relationship with Xie Tianlang, and then act like an older sister disciplining the couple, he saw Zheng Ronghua glare at him and open the door:
"What are you waiting for? Come in quickly! The food and soup are all ready for you, and the bath water is also prepared. After you've eaten and drunk your fill and taken a bath, you can go to sleep."
The long-haired youth immediately grinned, looking like a silly little fool.
While rubbing her younger brother's head, Zheng Ronghua glanced at the man who was about to enter the house with them, paused for three seconds, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly—
Of course, she wanted to break up the couple. Any older sister would probably not want her younger brother to go down a more difficult path that deviates from the majority.
But the younger brother never said anything about kicking the man out, and even showed a rare pitiful and ingratiating expression in his eyes and words, which proved that this man at least occupied a big place in the younger brother's heart.
And what about this man?
Although she didn't want to admit it, her eyes had indeed observed that, apart from the few seconds they made eye contact, the man's entire gaze and attention had been focused on his younger brother since he returned.
His expression even changed along with his brother's.
When his younger brother is anxious, he frowns with heartache; when his younger brother is happy, he feels relaxed and joyful.
This is truly bizarre.
Even though she had seen many devoted lovers who made vows of eternal love and shouted about true love, those who truly loved and cared for her from the bottom of their hearts were still very few and far between.
But right in front of her, it seemed like she saw one.
Sister Zheng has a toothache.
But in the end, she still invited Xie Tianlang into the house to eat with her.
While Gou Fugui was taking a bath after eating and drinking his fill, Zheng Ronghua looked at Xie Tianlang and said, "Introduce yourself in more detail. You should know what identity you should assume."
Xie Tianlang smiled.
It's not just about loving someone because of their relationship with them; even without the filter of Yuanyuan in his heart, Xie Tianlang greatly admires such a sharp, decisive, and resolute woman.
She immediately noticed his relationship with Yuanyuan, but she didn't angrily object at first.
She carefully observed his and Yuanyuan's expressions, trying to figure out what they were thinking, then temporarily held back, and waited for an opportunity to ask them in detail.
Xie Tianlang believes that even without the country's help, this woman can still climb to the top step by step in her field of expertise.
She is outstanding enough, and also caring and considerate enough to her family.
All her scrutiny and observation, letting herself into the house, and asking serious questions while Yuanyuan was taking a bath were signs that she cared about her younger brother.
Zheng Ronghua cared more about Gou Fugui's thoughts than her own.
So Xie Tianlang sat up straight and answered Zheng Ronghua's question very seriously.
"Xie Tianlang, 29 years old, former commander of the Ninth Army Corps of the Central Special Forces and captain of the First Team of the National Wolf Fang Elite Squad. His parents died in the line of duty when he was seven years old. He was admitted to the National Defense Military University at the age of sixteen and joined the Ninth Special Army Corps at the age of twenty, where he began to carry out special national missions."
"Physically healthy, with no bad habits, proficient in all fighting, stealth, and pursuit methods, skilled in wilderness survival combat, and proficient in driving all mechanical vehicles."
"During my thirteen years in the military, I received three Special Merits, five First-Class Merits, and countless Second- and Third-Class Merits. I've saved all the national awards and honors, which amount to eight figures. I own three houses in Beijing: two small villas awarded by the state and one old neighborhood school district house left to me by my parents."
Although I was ordered to rest at home due to some special reasons, I still received a basic salary of 20,000 yuan per month even during my rest period.
“Fugui said his biggest dream is to live a carefree life and wait to die. I have the time, energy and ability to help him achieve his dream.”
"Fugui wants to take a global trip after the apocalypse ends, and then use his camera to photograph and record different bizarre beasts and animals. I can go with him."
Xie Tianlang's eyes lit up with joy as he said this: "Whether it's the summit of a high mountain or the abyss of the Western Sea, wherever he wants to go, I can go with him and accompany him."
The world is vast, and lone travelers are courageous in their solitude. They are often accompanied by a sense of loneliness and isolation.
When two people are together, every scene becomes more beautiful.
Zheng Ronghua sat on the sofa, looking at the man whose eyes were filled with doting joy as he spoke. After a moment of silence, she finally chuckled softly.
"You're right. I hope you can do that in the future."
The man's eyes and words held the most beautiful emotions in the world. She had never experienced such beautiful emotions, but she hoped that her younger brother could have them.
Gender has never been the primary factor in beautiful emotions.
A steadfast heart is the only one.
That incredibly gentle and beautiful smile flashed by, and the long-haired beauty suddenly sat up straight, her gentle gaze replaced by a sharp one:
"If you break your promise to me and do something you shouldn't, no matter what kind of person you are, no matter how long it has been, I will treat you as my mortal enemy and do everything I can to make you pay ten or a hundred times the price."
Xie Tianlang met Zheng Ronghua's gaze without flinching this time: "If I break my promise, I will take care of myself before you do."
Sister Zheng shook her head with a smile, thinking that this guy didn't seem to be a normal person either.
Then she suddenly grabbed a small toy from the sofa and threw it against the bathroom door: "Have you finished eavesdropping, you little brat? Don't tell me you passed out in the bath."
Gou Fugui, who was actually eavesdropping: "..."
That's really awkward.
Without saying a word, he jumped into the tub for a bath, but his eyes and brows were full of smiles.
After he came out of the bath, Xie Tianlang was barely qualified to stay overnight. Xie Tianlang carried his clothes and walked towards the bathroom. When his eyes met Gou Fugui's, the air seemed to be filled with an inexplicable heat.
"..."
The wealthy, beautiful woman with her hair down rushed into her bedroom, only to find her beloved sister already waiting inside.
Feeling inexplicably embarrassed and guilty, he quickly got into bed and wrapped himself up like a turtle.
As a result, the thin blanket was gently patted.
Are you sure it's him?
After a while, a soft but firm "hmm" came from under the covers.
Zheng Ronghua first gave his troublesome younger brother a couple of hard pats, then laughed and said, "Then you must be happy."
"Your sister will help you."
Wrapped in the quilt, Gou Fugui felt a pang of sadness, but replied firmly.
Then, the young man's voice came from under the covers:
"I will protect you too."
Protect your body and health, protect your happiness and aspirations.
This is an inseparable emotion from blood ties; sometimes it becomes a burden, but more often it fosters courage.
This time, it was the older sister's turn to answer softly.
"Um."
* * *
It was the third day that Gou Fugui had gone home to rest.
Xie Tianlang has already entered the inner circle of the family, and has even handed over most of his wealth to his wife Yuanyuan and his eldest sister.
During these three days, the wealthy and beautiful woman was responsible for eating, sleeping and playing, while Xie Tianlang, with his tall stature of 1.93 meters, spent every day in the kitchen learning from his older sister what a 1.63-meter-tall young wife should do.
In just three days, the all-powerful Xie Langren had learned at least four of his older sister's signature dishes. Combined with his already decent cooking skills, he had basically met the basic requirements of a virtuous wife who could "go into the kitchen."
In just three days, Gou Fugui gained five pounds, which made him vehemently deny it when he saw the astonishing number on the scale.
"How could I possibly gain five pounds in three days?! You're kidding! My spatial storage must have leaked some weight! I definitely didn't eat that much!"
Zheng Ronghua scoffed at her younger brother, whose face had become noticeably rounder, and before she could speak the truth, Xie Tianlang firmly interrupted:
"You haven't eaten much these past three days, the scale must be broken. I'll fix it for you later, then you can weigh yourself again."
"Besides, you're already very thin, so it's only right that you get more nutrition."
Zheng Ronghua looked at Xie Tianlang with a twitching lip, his expression indescribable.
In these three days, she truly witnessed what the ultimate simp was like. It was that domineering yet natural simp mode.
It really opened her eyes.
Just as Zheng Ronghua was about to jokingly scold the two people and tell them to go to the supermarket to buy some supplies, suddenly the earth shook violently, as if a roar and vibration that could not be described came from a distant, high and deep place.
The earth shook so badly that even the furnishings inside the house swayed slightly, and the sonic booms repeatedly pierced people's eardrums.
"What's going on?!"
Zheng Ronghua exclaimed in surprise, "Is it an earthquake? Let's quickly hide in the yard!"
She reached out to pull her younger brother, but he covered her ears beforehand. The guy she thought was her "sister-in-law" simply picked her up, and the three of them rushed outside as fast as they could.
Then they saw the four Doomsday Gates collapsing one after another in the distant sky!
One of them is in Washington state.
At the same time, the wristwatches on Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang's wrists started ringing frantically. Gou Fugui connected the wristwatch's communication, and Minister Tu's stern voice rang out:
"Breaking news! Energy surges of varying degrees have been detected at all Doomsday Gates around the world! The energy at the largest Doomsday Gate in Huazhou, located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is now rising rapidly! The helicopter is on its way to pick you up! There is no time to replenish your supplies and equipment in your space now. After the helicopter picks you up, it will fly directly to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau."
"...The Doomsday Gate above Feng County collapsed. The Ninth Legion and I are dealing with emergency rescue matters and we can't get there in time to escort you. This time, the four of you will have to travel alone."
In the short time it took to make the call, Gou Fugui had already seen the helicopter flying directly over the villa.
Gou Fugui gave Xie Tianlang a hand gesture, then gave Zheng Ronghua, who looked worried, a big hug.
At the same time, he quickly pulled out a bunch of food and self-defense tools from his own space: "Sister, keep these! We don't know if there will be any problems with our world right now. I'm going to deal with the biggest doomsday gate. You have to protect yourself."
Zheng Ronghua's eyes instantly reddened, but she held back her tears and hugged her younger brother back, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. You take good care of yourself too!"
Gou Fugui smiled and nodded, then grabbed the cable thrown down from the helicopter with Xie Tianlang at top speed. After that, he took one last look at his home below and spoke into his wristwatch:
"Minister, please protect my sister."
...
Four hours later, the three helicopters arrived at the summit of the snow-capped mountain almost simultaneously.
Five minutes later, the helicopter door opened, and Gou Fugui, Xie Tianlang, Song Sanchuan, and Si Wuyai exchanged smiles before rushing straight into the ever-expanding black vortex in the air that almost covered the entire snow-capped mountain.
When I opened my eyes again, it was another world.
Achoo!
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the beautiful woman, dressed in short sleeves and shorts, sneezed violently.
Then he realized that everyone around him was looking at him like he was an idiot.
"Young man, why are you wandering around the streets in short sleeves in the middle of winter? It's about to snow, hurry home!"
Gou Fugui looked at the passersby wearing down jackets around him with a twitch of his lips, experiencing for the first time the subtle malice of this world.
"What's going on? There are several idiots here! And over there are three young men in short sleeves wandering around! Are you a team? What kind of performance art is this?"
An old man wearing a thick down jacket passed by, looking at him like he was an idiot, while pointing in another direction.
Following the old man's finger, Gou Fugui saw his attack weapon, the wolf, and his two teammates.
Believe it or not, this time everything was ready in one go.
