In the quiet corridor, even the slightest sound of footsteps seemed to be a sin. Lin Luo and the other two followed the leader and headed towards the most secure area of the capital base.
Soldiers armed with live ammunition can be seen at every corner along the way. They all have serious expressions and their backs are straight, like statues.
This is just what happens on the surface; there are countless eyes watching them in secret.
Even Shen Jiaan, who is known for his thick skin, couldn't help but frown in such an environment and didn't dare to say a word.
How could this happen? How could this be possible?!
He is actually still a little confused now!
After Lin Luo asked to meet the person in charge of the capital base, who was also the highest leader of the Flower Kingdom, Shen Jiaan suppressed the complaints that almost came out of his mouth and asked with courage that he didn't even know where it came from.
Then……
Five minutes later, they received a reply that the leader was free and could meet with them.
After a series of examinations, it actually didn't have much effect. After all, they were all psychics now, and things that targeted the abilities of psychics... had limited effects. Not to mention a big shot like Lin Luo, it didn't have much effect even on Shen Jiaan.
So, the top leader really took a great risk to meet them.
But Shen Jiaan still thought it was a good idea. In front of a big door, he and Yun Shu were stopped, which meant that only Lin Luo could go in first. If there were any further instructions from above, the two of them could go in.
But not being able to go in doesn’t mean they can leave. There is a small room next to the house where the two of them can sit and wait.
——At least it’s warm here and there’s hot water to drink.
Shen Jiaan comforted himself in his heart and watched Lin Luo go in. Then he and Yun Shu fell into a strange silence.
This cousin looks like someone who's not easy to mess with. Should I talk to him for a while? Shen Jiaan hesitated.
On the other side, Lin Luo finally entered this house, which seemed extremely sacred in the eyes of ordinary people, but was not luxurious in terms of layout.
It doesn't matter what the house looks like, what matters is the people inside.
In addition to the one who is often seen on TV, there are two others who are also very "familiar". One is Mr. Su, who has been to the South China Base before but Lin Luo has never seen him. The other is also a big boss whose frequency of appearance is second only to the supreme leader. Anyone in Hua Country can call out his name.
Any one of these three people would be a formidable figure, but now they all appeared in front of Lin Luo.
As a junior, Lin Luo should have been the first to call people, but the top leader spoke first happily. In the eyes of the people of Hua Country, he was like a grandfather, very amiable.
"Heroes are truly born young." He looked at Lin Luo with a smile, "Lin Luo, right? You're about the same age as my granddaughter. Can I call you Xiao Luo?"
——With such an approachable attitude, if you don’t know, you might think it’s a neighborhood grandfather chatting with you.
Lin Luo naturally wouldn't disagree, but only she knew what she was thinking.
"I don't think you'd be able to call us grandpa, so how about this..." The leader pointed at himself and the two people next to him, "Call me Elder Feng, and these are Elder Su and Elder Huang."
In fact, they could have asked Lin Luo to call a few people by their formal titles, but that would have seemed too unfamiliar. If he was too enthusiastic at the beginning, it would have been inferior. Now this "distance" was just right.
The three of them all have some understanding of this little girl and there is no conflict of interest, so why did things become so awkward?
"Mr. Feng, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Su." Lin Luo called out to them directly and calmly. He was not nervous and did not rely on his strength to be overly arrogant. This made the three old men nod in their hearts.
No matter how strong your strength is, it will be useless if you don't use it for your own benefit.
The two sides did not get to the point right away, but chatted for a few sentences like chatting about family matters. Mainly, it was Old Feng and the others who asked the questions, and Lin Luo answered them. However, the questions they asked were not tricky, just the ones that the elders of Huaguo often asked.
"How old are you?"
"Where did you go to school before?"
"What do you usually do?"
…
They should have obtained Lin Luo's basic information. Anyway, they didn't mention the matter of his parents, so Lin Luo basically answered all the questions he could.
This kind of pleasantries didn't last long before they got down to business. "Why did Xiao Luo want to see me today?"
Lin Luo looked straight at Elder Feng without a shred of hesitation. "I'm here to verify something."
Lin Luo glanced at the three of them, "I want to know if any of the Flower Nation's senior leaders are...affected by psychic powers?"
quiet--
The smiles on the faces of Mr. Feng and the other two gradually disappeared. Perhaps other people would not be able to react for a while after hearing these words, but they were different.
They knew much more than they imagined! Even more, did they really not know Shen Tingyun's origins? Lin Luo didn't believe it.
No matter how rich he is, he is just a wealthy man. As the old saying goes, rich people cannot defeat officials. Shen Tingyun has no special abilities. Can he really find out the top-level secrets from twenty years ago by himself?
Lin Luo felt that this was more like what the country needed. He wanted to see if Shen Tingyun would do something about it, and then see if he could catch any big fish.
This is a mutual test, Shen Tingyun might also understand it.
It is really not an easy task to govern a country well.
Lin Luo's mental power is a very powerful power, so powerful that it is not an exaggeration to call it the number one power.
It is different from general elemental abilities. It is like returning to nature, extracting the essence of energy. Defense, attack, purification, hypnosis... these psychics can do it.
Lin Luo is now at level seven, and believes that Shen Luoyun's level will not be too low. No one knows better than her how terrifying the mental power can be at higher levels.
"So, what's the result?"
It is unknown how many storms Mr. Feng has experienced. Even if the world is about to be destroyed in the next second, he can quickly adjust his mentality and die bravely.
In recent years, we have dealt with countless traitors, spies, etc., and the people affected by mental power are at most the same as these people.
——It hurts, but it won’t affect your judgment!
Lin Luo took a step forward. "Mr. Huang, did you participate in that mission to siege the laboratory?"
"Yes." The meaning behind this question was very obvious. Old Huang frowned tightly, and the other two people also looked unhappy.
Mr. Huang, with his power and position...if he really was influenced, how much has he done in the past twenty years?!
Lin Luo continued, "The situation shouldn't be that bad. With Mr. Huang's status, if he had done something truly terrible, he would have been discovered long ago."
The higher you stand, the stricter the supervision you will receive.
"I guess I just tried to get you and the others to ignore some of the things that were not right so that this matter could be resolved more quickly."
Even so, Mr. Huang's expression did not improve. "Little friend Lin, can the power of mental strength last for such a long time?"
They couldn't completely trust Lin Luo based on just a few words from her, and they wouldn't rush to ask Lin Luo to see if she could help him solve this problem.
"Yes." Lin Luo nodded, "As long as I don't die!" This sentence was said with absolute certainty, which shows how terrifying this ability is.
That day, Lin Luo and Yun Shu were unable to return to Zhoujiawu on the same day as originally planned. Instead, they stayed at the capital base for five full days and did not leave until New Year's Eve.
During these five days, Yun Shu hardly saw Lin Luo. Only from an occasional verbal message and a quick glance could he tell that Lin Luo was very busy, really very busy.
But Lin Luo was so busy that Yun Shu was completely unable to help him. The person he saw the most every day was Shen Jiaan's "fool face".
He was assigned to "entertain" Yun Shu, and the base also rewarded him with points for this.
Shen Jiaan, who was already very curious about Yun Shu, wished he could sleep in the same bed with Yun Shu and cultivate their "brotherhood"!
Annoyed? Yun Shu: "..."
Although it may seem inappropriate to say this, every time Yun Shu sees Shen Jiaan using this similar face to make all kinds of strange expressions, she has the urge to help Shen Jiaan have a "complete face lift".
The key is that this person is not only stupid but also... nagging.
"Brother, have you been in that Zhoujiawu before?"
"How did you and Lin Luo meet? Huh? Did her family adopt you?"
"Will you get married in the future? Will the husband lose control?"
"What do you usually eat? How do you exercise? I also want to build muscles like you. Can you recommend me some?"
…
It's like a fly buzzing in your ear all day long. If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of causing trouble for Lin Luo at the base, this master of the base would probably have ended up dying young.
Fortunately, he doesn't need to live in the capital base permanently, and Shen Jiaan can't come to Zhoujiawu. Maybe they will never have the chance to meet again in this life.
However, Shen Tingyun has not often appeared in front of Yun Shu in the past few days, and it seems that he doesn't know how to face this strange "nephew".
The moment he finally got into the helicopter, Yun Shu let out a sigh of relief. He didn't like crowded places, nor did he like those people's vague temptations. Yun Shu had been going out very little in the past few days, which made him miss the days in Zhoujiawu where he could see Luo Luo every day and go up the mountain whenever he wanted.
"Lolo, lean on me, close your eyes and rest for a while."
I don’t know what Lin Luo has done in the past five days. Even someone as powerful as her can’t hide the faint blue in her eyes. It will take at least five or six hours to reach the South China base, so she can take a short rest.
While saying this, Yun Shu quickly took off his coat and used it as a pillow temporarily, so that when Lin Luo leaned over, he would not feel uncomfortable because his body was too hard.
"Okay." Lin Luo did not refuse. These past few days were indeed tiring, but she also gained a lot. For example, the two black beads she brought have been handed over to the capital base. She hopes that they can solve the cause of human mutation as soon as possible.
After putting a mental shield on the helicopter that could last for at least eight hours, Lin Luo snuggled into Yun Shu's arms. His clothes smelled like they had been sun-dried, and they were very warm, which made Lin Luo's tense nerves slowly relax. He closed his eyes and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.
Therefore, she did not see the same smile on Yun Shu's lips, but there was a hint of satisfaction, as if what he was embracing was his world, the only and indispensable world!
Yao Haichao, who had been completely ignored by the two men, did not dare to look sideways at all, and looked like he was concentrating on flying the plane. In fact, the thoughts that flashed through his mind could form a dense wall of barrages.
This time, the length of his stay in the capital exceeded his expectations. How could a meeting with Shen Tingyun suddenly become a top secret mission?
Thinking about the things he had to explain after returning to the base, even though Yao Haichao had a relatively quick mind, he felt a headache and didn't know where to start.
But did he suddenly receive news from the capital a few days ago? Maybe Mr. Ling is even more confused than him.
——This is a difficult matter!
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the South China base. Ling Feng wanted to keep the two of them for another night and exchange the information given by Mr. Feng and the others, but Lin Luo firmly stated that she wanted to go back and it was not convenient for her to disclose these things.
If he wanted to know, he could just go and ask Mr. Feng and the others.
After a few hours of rest, Lin Luo became full of energy again. This time he would be gone for nearly a week. After receiving the news, Old Ling sent someone to Zhoujiawu to inform them, but they must be very worried.
In addition, today is New Year's Eve, so Lin Luo still wants to spend it with acquaintances.
After three hours of "speeding" driving, Lin Luo and Yun Shu arrived at Zhoujiawu just a few minutes before six o'clock. It was already completely dark, but Zhoujiawu was not like before, with only a few scattered lights in Zhoujia.
I don't know when the lights that were hung on the trees, walls, and roofs... emitting eye-catching yellow light are shining luxuriously in the end times. From a distance, they look like a galaxy guiding the way, so people won't get lost in the dark.
"Sister Luo!"
"It's really Luo Yatou and Xiao Yun!"
…
Led by Zhou Guangzong, everyone quickly surrounded Lin Luo's car. One could tell how much they missed the two of them by looking at everyone's excited expressions. Xiao Meng even went forward and hugged Lin Luo before he could say anything.
This was the first time they had been apart for such a long time. As time went by, everyone became more and more worried about the safety of Lin Luo and Yun Shu.
But the two of them went to the capital, and no matter how worried they were, they couldn't go to investigate. This New Year's Eve without Lin Luo and Yun Shu, it seemed like something important was missing.
When the time was almost up, the meal still hadn't started. Everyone held the same expectation, thinking that the two might be able to make it back. Unexpectedly... their wish actually came true!
Zhou Guangzong smiled and opened the trunk to take out their luggage. "Glad you're back, glad you're back. Are you hungry? There's delicious food waiting for you!"
Lin Luo looked at these familiar faces and took Xiao Meng's cold right hand. "Yeah, I'm quite hungry. Where's Yunshu?"
Yun Shu also nodded, but he looked at the bright "light" around him, "What happened when we were away for a few days? This light..."
Could it be to deter the mutant beasts? Yun Shu couldn't help but think more.
Hearing Yun Shu's question, Lan Yueyin couldn't help but chuckle, "It's okay, it's okay, we're fine. The kids were worried that you wouldn't be able to find the way home at night because there wouldn't be any street lights or anything, so they tinkered with these things."
How could you not find the road? At least your car has lights.
The kids might not have thought about it so much, but Lin Luo didn't believe that Zhou Guangzong and the others didn't know about it. However, they still let it go. Zhou Guangzong, who usually tried to save electricity in every way possible, never complained about this "power consumption" this time. He didn't say anything but took the initiative to help Xiao Meng and the others connect the power.
"Thank you, really? It was very useful. We found Zhoujiawu right away."
Lin Luo's words instantly cheered up Xiao Meng, Wu Yan, and Wu Hao. Wu Hao even stammered, "No, not just us, everyone helped too. They all... miss Sister Luo and Brother Yun very much."
"Yeah, me too."
Following the bright sunlight, Lin Luo and Yun Shu finally walked into the Zhou family's house. The luxurious and sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner finally fulfilled its mission and became a real reunion dinner!
