Chapter 586 Blind Date
The small room was filled with an ancient atmosphere. A cup of tea was rising from the table. Zheng Yi was half-kneeling opposite. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his hand and gestured for invitation.
Lu Xiao checked the surroundings again and confirmed that besides Zheng Yi, there were only two earth-type mutants left. Then he sat down and asked, "What's the matter that you want me to meet here?"
"..." Even though he knew the opponent was direct, he never thought that he would hit the ball straight into the goal. Zheng Yi choked on all the greetings and said after a while, "That's it..."
"I would like to ask Uncle Lu about your attitude towards the establishment of the Anti-Zombie Alliance?"
When Lu Xiao heard him call him uncle, he knew that he came here to ask for help. He sat down with a bold move, took the cup of tea handed to him by Zheng Yi, and drank it in one gulp without any image, "Me? Of course I support you."
"But you know the situation of my team, and I am unable to provide specific support."
Zheng Yi gritted his teeth. As a Flame that could coexist with the Guard and Zheng's Army, how could his own strength be underestimated? If he could spare no effort to cooperate with Zheng's Army, why would he need to tolerate Zhao Qiang's jumping around?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that it would be a good idea if Zheng Miao could marry Lu Xiao.
He lowered his head and refilled Lu Xiao's cup of tea, looking very frank, "Uncle Lu, we can all see from the current situation that there is a reason why the anti-zombie alliance must be established. The zombies are getting stronger step by step, and no one can guarantee what the future will be like. But one thing is that they are evolving and upgrading faster than humans."
"We cannot afford to remain scattered. All of us humans must unite. Only then will we have a chance of survival amid the numerous dangers in the future."
Lu Xiao lowered his eyes and nodded, motioning him to continue.
"My grandfather's last wish before he died was for all of humanity to unite. I hope to make this happen, and I have been working hard for it, but Zhao Qiang..."
Zheng Yi sighed and without waiting for Lu Xiao to respond, he could only continue, "I hope to form an alliance with Lieyan and establish it together."
"We have always been allies," Lu Xiao waved his hand, "My attitude has been very clear from the very beginning."
"But you didn't provide any practical support," Zheng Yi frowned, a little annoyed.
He felt that Lu Xiao's attitude was exactly the same as Yue Banwan's.
Lu Xiao chuckled and put the cup on the table with a click. He looked up at Zheng Yi and asked, "Did Lieyan not sign the document you signed or did Lieyan veto the regulations you issued?"
Zheng Yi pursed his lips and said nothing.
"We've done everything. What else do you want? Directly use force to control the voice of each base?" Lu Xiao asked back.
Seeing Zheng Yi remained silent, Lu Xiao also had a headache. He sighed, "These things are not my turn to teach you, but the old man asked me to take care of you when he passed away. Besides, you called me uncle, and I can't let you call me that for nothing."
Lu Xiao looked at him seriously, "Zheng Yi, even if we unite our forces, we can't compete with each base. You want to form an alliance, and many people want to. The three major teams in Kyoto, you and I have agreed, and Yuebanwan, the most powerful, has always acquiesced. What else is there to stop you from doing?"
"I..." Zheng Yi lowered his head in thought and did not continue.
He was worried that when the war came, Lieyan and Yuebanwan would not take action, and the Zheng family would not be able to withstand the pressure from all sides and might be completely destroyed in their hands.
This is also the reason why he didn't dare to continue stubbornly - he lacked the confidence.
But he couldn't tell Lu Xiao this. He smiled good-naturedly and talked about the purpose of today, "Uncle Lu, my grandfather told me that you haven't been married for many years. I want to ask if you have found someone to accompany you?"
These words almost made his meaning clear. How could Lu Xiao not know what he was thinking? He looked at Zheng Yi in disbelief, feeling amused and angry at the same time. "You want to form an alliance? With me?"
"My cousin has always admired Uncle Lu and doesn't want me to come over and mediate."
Lu Xiao didn't know much about the daughters of the Zheng family. He took a while to react before asking, "Zheng Miao?"
"Yes, Miaomiao is a healing psychic. It will be good for the team if she comes to your side, and..."
Before Zheng Yi could finish his words, the door was pushed open from the outside. Lu Xi stood there with an angry look on his face, followed by Zheng Miao with a smug look on his face.
"Just tell them that I'm going to be your stepmother. Remember to call me mom when you see me in the future. I don't mind having a big son like you," Zheng Miao said to Lu Xi proudly.
Lu Xi glared at her, stepped forward and glared at Zheng Yi, "Are you mentally ill? You are already her father at my dad's age?"
"Besides, is your Zheng family extinct? Who are you looking down on? Who are you going to harm by sending such a stupid and vicious woman here?"
"You..." It was the first time that Zheng Yi was pointed at his nose and scolded in such impolite words. His face suddenly darkened.
Before he could get angry, Zheng Miao's fighting spirit instantly ignited. He stepped forward and grabbed Lu Xi, saying angrily, "Who are you calling stupid and vicious? Are you blind?"
"Even a blind person can tell that you have big breasts but no brains. Oh, that's not right." He glanced at Zheng Miao's chest with disdain. Zheng Miao immediately became alert to breast encirclement. Then he heard him say, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Others have big breasts but no brains, but you have small breasts and no brains. The little nutrition you eat has turned into feces, right?"
"My breasts are not big, are your eyes just for decoration? Have you ever seen a woman? Your hair hasn't even grown out yet, has it?" Zheng Miao was so angry at being belittled that she shouted.
On the other hand, Lu Xi had calmed down. He looked calmly at the person who was jumping up and down in front of him and spoke without haste. "Don't worry, no one will look down on you even if you are full grown. How dare you dream of being ugly?"
"Xiao Xiang my dad, have you ever looked in the mirror?"
"Whoever wants an old man, I don't like him..."
"Oh, that means she doesn't like him." Lu Xi immediately turned to look at Zheng Yi, "Brother Zheng, did you hear that? She said she doesn't like my dad, but it's a forced melon, and you're usually very busy, so don't make trouble for yourself."
Zheng Yi looked at Zheng Miao with anger. Zheng Miao stuck out his neck, looking fragile yet stubborn, which made him want to fight for it again.
He signaled to the person at the door to close the door and asked Lu Xiao directly, "Uncle Lu, Miaomiao is young and may be a little ignorant, but it is undeniable that your team lacks a healer. I don't need to tell you the benefits that her ability level will bring."
"And with her as a bridge, Zheng's army and Lieyan will be able to reorganize the entire military district team. From now on, there will be no policy that cannot be implemented in the entire Kyoto base."
Zheng Yi spoke righteously, and Lu Xi wanted to speak again, but Lu Xiao grabbed him and pressed him against his chest.
"I've already said it just now, Lieyan has always been on the same front with Zheng's army, so I don't want him anymore." Lu Xiao turned his head and glanced at Zheng Miao.
The girl was as young as a flower, and he had no idea why she was put forward for marriage, but her parents had just died, which inevitably made people think too much. "If his parents were alive, they would probably be so angry that they knew she was married to a man who could be his father."
This was also a reminder to Zheng Yi not to go too far.
Zheng Yi smiled bitterly, but Zheng Miao had tears in his eyes as he listened.
Seeing her like this, Lu Xi didn't provoke her anymore. He tugged at Lu Xiao's clothes to signal him to leave. Just as Lu Xiao opened his mouth to say goodbye, Zheng Yi asked, "Lu Xi, you're old enough to have a girlfriend, right?"
If the intention was directed at himself, Lu Xiao would at most be unhappy, but when it came to Lu Xi, Lu Xiao immediately turned cold and said, "Major General Zheng, you are too lenient."
After giving Zheng Yi a cold warning look, Lu Xiao pulled Lu Xi out of the room.
Zheng Yi sat down again and sighed, looking at Zheng Miao who was crying stubbornly, "I heard you, please change another one."
"Hehe, didn't you tell me that anyone except Zhao Qiang is fine? The other teams are not as strong as the Guard Team. It's either Lu Xiao or I will marry Zhao Qiang." Zheng Miao stuck his neck out to embarrass him.
Zheng Yi stared at him silently, with an expression in his eyes that Zheng Miao couldn't understand. This made her feel a little scared, but she was still stubborn and refused to bow her head.
Time seemed to have passed only a moment, but it also seemed like half a century had passed, so long that Zheng Miao felt that her fate seemed to have changed at this moment.
Then Zheng Yi nodded calmly and said, "Then you should marry Zhao Qiang."
**
On the way back, Lu Xi followed Lu Xiao through the underground passage. The earth-type mutant led the way silently in front without saying a word, and followed Lu Xi closely behind without saying a word. Lu Xiao followed at the end with a flashlight, carefully observing his son's expression and explaining in a low voice.
"I really don't know why he asked me to come here. I thought the alliance was planning some new move this time."
"If I had known he had this in mind, I would definitely not have come. Xiaoxi, don't be angry. You're my only son, and I will definitely not get you a stepmother."
"You're already this old, but you're still worried about your stepmother? With your fighting ability, others should be afraid of you, right?"
Because Lu Xi had no mother since childhood, she had a very strong possessiveness of her father. She was delicate and pretty when she was little, and had a very sweet mouth. This was also the reason why Lu Xiao, a man who had just reached adulthood, gradually fell in love with children.
When he was young, he was always wary of women who approached Lu Xiao. He didn't dare to ask and secretly hid in the quilt and cried. Only after being discovered by Lu Xiao did he tell her that he was afraid of being bullied by his stepmother in the future.
Lu Xiao felt sorry for his son and was only thinking about making a career in the army, so he supported his only nephew and promised that he would never have a stepmother. Over the years, as he grew up, he never showed similar emotions.
Seeing the little boy coming to him with red eyes today, Lu Xiao felt a little secretly happy in his heart, as if the young eagle that has grown wings and is ready to fly still needs its father and still cares about its father as much as when it was a child.
"Don't be angry. Having you is enough for dad. He is always worried about the team's affairs. How can he have the time to find a stepmother for you..."
Lu Xi stopped and looked at him sideways, "Dad, it's not that I don't want you to find someone to accompany you."
"Um?"
"When I was young, someone told me that you would have a wife and children in the future and would no longer pay attention to me. I was scared, so I didn't want you to get married..."
