Meet the parents
Chapter 105
The helicopter took them directly back to the military area. On the way back, Mu Zhong's phone kept ringing.
Then Wei Huan's phone rang. It turned out that he was added to a WeChat group.
In the WeChat group, there were his crew members. They all changed their names after joining the group. There were seven people in total. Sun Yiling and Xiao Zhi were not in.
Xu Qingqiang was still asleep, only Zhou Yong and Lin Xu joined the group.
After crossing the finish line and completing the third-level highway assessment, Qi Jialu followed closely behind, followed by the Mu family's fourth-level car and third-level car, as well as Changle's car and Huang Jun's car, which had made outstanding contributions in the territory battle.
It was as if Wei Huan's appearance restored order. Everyone naturally left the challenge world in order according to their contributions, and unanimously suppressed the few who had escaped.
Wei Huan didn't pay much attention to the situation of the vehicles coming out from behind. Completing the assessment meant it was time to say goodbye.
With everyone coming to say goodbye, it was a chaotic scene. If it weren't for the other crew members helping to deal with it, it would have been a mess.
Wei Huan’s contribution this time was enormous.
He killed the Dark Beast Squad, flattened the Dark Beast territory, led 70,000 people through the game, and obtained a large number of treasure chest rewards, further reversing the gap between humans and Dark Beasts. Wei Huan was the first to bear the credit for all these achievements!
Even the most demanding challenger, "Old Fox", could not say anything bad about Wei Huan.
I'm convinced from the bottom of my heart.
Finally, Wei Huan pressed the [Return] button amidst gazes of respect, admiration, and fanaticism.
After fighting for more than half a month, they finally returned to the rest space and relaxed.
It was in the rest space that Mu Zhong left everyone's contact information.
Although Sun Yiling and Xiaozhi were leaving and it was not convenient for them to join the more private WeChat group, they also exchanged phone numbers with everyone. Perhaps they would meet again in the near future.
Now, the seven people who just returned from Challenge World are speaking excitedly in the group.
[Teng Xiyang: Report to the commander, we have to wait until tomorrow after the handover at the corps before we can go to the capital. It will take about three days. If time is urgent, two days will also be fine.]
[Ding Qi: I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Please send me the meeting place.]
Liu Chengzhi: Boss, I have two houses in Beijing. Which one do you prefer, a quieter one or a more convenient one? I'll give it to you and use it as our base.
[Mu Han: I have a house here that can be used as a base. The captain can decide when we meet.]
[Lin Xu: Brother Qiang hasn't woken up yet. Let's wait until he wakes up.]
After chatting for a few words in the group and then "yelling" a few words with Commander Mu in the noisy sound of the helicopter, they arrived at the headquarters of the Northeast Army Corps in a blink of an eye.
The entire headquarters could not be seen clearly at night, but Wei Huan had passed by the door during the day and had a rough idea of the situation inside.
The helicopter was just behind the headquarters office building. The "thump thump" sound quieted down. Wei Huan, who finally stepped off the helicopter, saw a group of people waiting on the tarmac.
Mu Dehao waved to Wei Huan, called him over, and pointed to a middle-aged man in a commander's uniform in the middle and said, "This is Commander Chai, this is Wei Huan, and this is Mu Zhong."
The night of Blue Star was full of stars and moon. Under the light, Wei Huan could clearly see Commander Chai's face... He looked completely unfamiliar, and he had only a vague impression of his name.
In his previous life, Commander Chai did not command the Northeast Army for long before he was killed on the battlefield by the Dark Beast Army, and his obituary was spread across the country.
At that time, he had just completed the primary road challenge and returned to Challenge University to prepare for further studies, and was semi-outside the information circle.
Besides, he and Wei Jinhong were in a rare "honeymoon period" at that time. Wei Jinhong wanted to find a trustworthy person to help his team, and he was still longing for his father's love at that time, so he did not pay enough attention to the outside world.
In this life, everyone’s fate should be different, right?
Not to mention other things, the fact that humans possessed level five vehicles and level five professionals earlier than in the previous life shortened the gap with the dark beasts and also saved many lives.
The Northeast Army will not be defeated by this and become a weak link in the dark beast defense line of Daxia.
It's not too late now. After his rebirth, he has changed many things. He firmly believes that the ending will be different.
Afterwards, they shook hands and exchanged greetings with the people who came to greet them, and then they were stuffed into a car and taken out of the military area.
Before parting, Commander Chai said to Wei Huan, "The formalities will be completed soon. You should have a good rest these few days. I look forward to our next meeting."
The commander-in-chief of a legion, even if there is a "deputy" in front of his name, his rank is the highest.
However, he met Wei Huan and Mu Zhong in person late at night, which not only showed his eagerness for talents, but also repaired his relationship with Mu Dehao.
As the car drove out of the command center, it entered the bustling and prosperous city. Amid the bright lights, the alleys were particularly lively, and there were drunk people talking loudly in the rich aroma of barbecue.
From six o'clock when the world was challenged and it got dark, the war to attack the territory began. The whole battle was very fast. Wei Huan used all his strength and ended the war in less than two hours.
Even though we spent some time in the rest area, it was only a little after eight o'clock in the afternoon, which was the time when the nightlife began and was at its busiest.
Wei Huan's gaze fell outside the car, and his eyes moved with the noisy scenery.
Especially when the traffic light stopped in front of a shopping mall, Wei Huan's eyes fell on the children playing in front of the square.
The lively and bright figure held Wei Huan tightly, and he seemed to vaguely see a future of true peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
In fact, it was not far from the headquarters. They left the main road and turned into a residential area.
The houses here are all old-style, low-rise elevator apartments. They look very ordinary on the outside, but they are one of the famous military compounds in Beijing.
There is another military camp at the Northeast Challenge Corps in the suburbs of Beijing. There is also a military compound nearby, which is several times larger than this one.
The people who live here are mainly the leaders and staff of the headquarters and their families.
When Mu Dehao was not on a mission to lead troops, he lived here. He named this place his home, and the place outside Beijing was called the dormitory.
Therefore, Mu Zhong's mother Zhou Xian and sister Mu Xi also live here, and this is also where Mu Zhong grew up.
Mu Dehao himself was a soldier, but before challenging the world, he was a pure civilian, responsible for logistics management.
After the advent of the challenge world, he was lucky enough to pass the road test again and again, and in the process, he gradually came to the core of power of the Northeast Legion.
However, when Commander Hong was there, he was mainly responsible for logistics supply and training of soldiers in Challenge the World.
Wei Huan was a little nervous when he learned that he would stay at Mu Zhong's house tonight.
If I had known this, I would have gone back to sleep in the car.
Mu Zhong looked at his expression and chuckled. He said in front of General Mu, "Let's have dinner first. I have to go back to the car. It's crowded at home and not as spacious as the car. Besides, I'm a bit picky about my bed. It would be best if you're willing to accompany me."
This gave Wei Huan enough of a way out, so why would Wei Huan be unhappy?
Along the way, Mu Zhong's family has given him support and recognition, and the two of them have a relationship recognized by the law. Even though he is not good at such interpersonal relationships, he knows that he must do it.
The elevator reached the third floor, and as soon as the door opened, a little girl rushed out, "Brother!"
Her big eyes, as beautiful as Mu Zhong's, swept across the three faces, and finally she threw herself into Mu Zhong's arms, calling out sweetly, "Brother!"
"Hey, Xixi." Mu Zhong hugged his sister, with a smile on his face that Wei Huan rarely saw. It was a doting and happy smile after he was completely relaxed.
"Call me Brother Wei." Mu Zhong pointed at Wei Huan and said.
Mu Xi stared at Wei Huan's face for a few seconds, then nodded: "I remember you, we've met before."
The little adult answered, making the adults laugh. After being reminded by Mu Zhong, Mu Xi called out, "Brother Wei."
It was only at this time that Wei Huan remembered that this was his first time visiting Mu Zhong's house and he came empty-handed without any preparation.
He thought quickly, flipped his palm, and a bamboo dragonfly appeared in his palm, which he handed to Mu Xi.
When Mu Xi saw that it was a toy, he happily took it, and when he called Brother Wei again, his voice was much louder.
Commander Mu was the first to react: "What is this?"
Wei Huan said: "Challenge the world."
"This thing is too valuable to give to a child." Commander Mu knew this, of course, and wanted to take it back, but he couldn't bear to see his daughter holding on to it so fondly.
"It's not expensive. I found it by opening a box."
"But this thing is in the military area and can only be used during missions. Giving it to a child..."
"Can't you have it?" Mu Xi understood what he said, his eyes full of disappointment, but he still lifted up the bamboo dragonfly and handed it back to Wei Huan, "Xixi likes it very much, but Xixi can't have it. Thank you, Brother Wei."
The three men felt distressed when they saw Mu Dehao's timid expression, like that of a small animal. Mu Zhong even glared at Mu Dehao fiercely.
Mu Zhong picked up the girl, controlled the wheelchair and moved it forward, saying, "Xixi, take this. Brother Wei and I are giving this to you. I'll teach you how to use it. Put it on your head, right, the very top of your head. Okay, then jump up gently. Don't use too much force, or you'll hit the ceiling and your head will hurt..."
Wei Huan and Mu Dehao followed Mu Xi who was having fun.
The bamboo dragonfly is one of the few special props that can be brought from the challenge world to reality. In order not to change the order of reality, the effect of the bamboo dragonfly is, in some ways, more like a toy.
Wearing it on the top of your head can increase your "lightness" and "gliding" abilities.
For example, the little girl Mu Xi can jump less than half a meter when she jumps hard, but she can jump more than one meter when she wears the bamboo helicopter. Moving left and right will also increase the original moving distance.
But the most interesting thing is the "gliding" ability. If you wear this thing, you will not die even if you jump from a high place.
At the same time, when Mushi jumps and plays, he also has a certain "gliding" ability. This feeling is very wonderful, as if he is suddenly no longer attracted by the earth's gravity.
This special item has almost no combat enhancement effect, but because it is a rare equipment that can be brought out and used in the Challenge World, it is purchased by the military and major forces at a high price, with the price reaching about 600,000 each.
There are always places where it can be used in special military operations or certain show-off occasions, so this is why Mu Dehao thinks it should not be given to children.
"It's the first time we meet." Wei Huan explained.
"Well, we are a family so let's not push each other around. From now on, Xixi can play under the supervision of adults." Mu Dehao accepted Wei Huan's kindness. The high value of the items also meant that Wei Huan valued them.
After the two finished talking, Mu Dehao brought slippers to Wei Huan and said, "Let's go inside and have some rest."
Just at this moment, Zhou Xian came out wearing an apron, with her long hair elegantly tied behind her. Her gentle temperament and the aroma of food added a touch of homeliness to the room.
"Hello, Auntie." Wei Huan felt a little embarrassed again. In the Challenge World, he was responsible for the life and death of 40,000 people and could destroy a dark beast territory without blinking an eye, but at this moment, Wei Huan became nervous again.
The last time they met, he didn't feel this way. Deep down in his heart, he even felt a little resistant to Zhou Xian because of Commander Mu.
But this time... the relationship between me and Mu Zhong is different after all, so I am worried about gains and losses, and hope that his family members will like me too.
Zhou Xian smiled gently: "Come on, come in, have a glass of water first, dinner will be served soon."
"Um."
There will definitely always be some discomfort in getting along with Mu Zhong's family, but Wei Huan does not reject this feeling.
Because of Mu Zhong, he will try to integrate into this family, and Mu Zhong will also accompany him. It won't take too long for him to find a balance between himself and this family.
As for the desire for a family atmosphere, Wei Huan is not like the lonely rich second generation in idol dramas who falls in love with this atmosphere after just having a meal at his girlfriend's house. He has stayed in the challenge world for too long and prefers the feeling of being with his teammates in a car.
Home is a harbor, but he has been wandering for many years and has fallen in love with the laughter and noise in this life of displacement.
After getting along politely with Wei Huan's family and having a warm dinner, Mu Dehao made a pot of tea and the three of them chatted for a long time on the balcony.
When I came to my senses, it was already late at night.
Looking out the window, the bustling night scene of the metropolis remains the same, but with a deeper sense of darkness.
Mu Dehao drank the last cup of tea and put it down as he said, "Okay, tomorrow I'll ask them to transfer everyone's information and hand it in. You don't have to worry about anything for the next two days. I'll let you know when everything is done.
Also, you should take some time to go back to the university. They said they're going to give you an Outstanding Student Award, and there are other things like that. It seems there are awards from both the city and the country."
Wei Huan had already stood up, but after hearing the last few words, he remembered something: "There aren't many days left in the ancient battlefield, right?"
Mu Dehao's expression changed slightly.
"Ancient Battlefield" is a fifth-level battlefield that opens after the Dark Beast King is the first to reach the fifth level.
Also called the "opening battle".
The war requires the two fighting parties to fight within a specified range. The losing party will directly lose the area of the planet, and the winning party will get a high-quality area.
Whether it is a resource area or a farming area, in short, winning on the battlefield will further improve the evolution of civilization.
This is a way to challenge the world and stimulate evolution.
In the previous life, the same situation occurred, but because Wei Huan did not produce the fifth-level core materials, it was not until the opening of the "Ancient Battlefield" that the countries of Blue Star finally put aside their prejudices and joined hands to successfully defeat the fifth-level king tribe and obtain the first core material.
But it was too late. One core material could only build one fifth-order chariot, which led to humans being suppressed on the ancient battlefield. In the end, they lost the war and also lost 1/10 of the area of Blue Star.
Wei Huan remembered that the defeat in his previous life was extremely sensational. As a truly passionate young man at that time, he and his classmates took to the streets to protest. He was protesting against the lack of unity in the Blue Star country.
It is said that many students blocked the gate of the Northeast Army and sat in protest for three days.
Wei Huan really cares about the ending of the "Ancient Battlefield".
He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, nor did he want to lose another tenth of Blue Star's land. What difference did this make to him? Continuously being beaten wouldn't make people rise up in despair; it would only make them lose the courage to face the consequences.
Mu Dehao pondered for a moment and said, "We've made preparations. Intelligence investigations show that our combat effectiveness is on par with the Dark Beasts. This will be a difficult battle, but we will win, and we must win."
Wei Huan nodded and said, "I will join in the later stages of the war."
"No, you should calm down and develop. Excellent young people are the bottom line for us old guys to fight hard in the front. We know why we are fighting, and we also know that if we lose, we still have you.
You shouldn't participate in this war. You should know better than I do that what you lack is time. If necessary, I can even provide materials to bring your tanks up to level five, but that's pointless. Your class level can't keep up with the intensity of the front lines, and going there would be a waste of time."
Wei Huan didn't say anything, but his fists clenched quietly.
He was not angry, but because what Commander Mu said was right.
Cars can be upgraded with free materials, and even advanced potions are readily available to the geniuses that the legion focuses on training. However, understanding and training of the profession requires time to accumulate, and even deep cultivation of the basics is more important than advancement.
After all, he came back a little late, and Wei Huan was secretly annoyed by the fact that he could not participate in this crucial and important battle.
Mu Dehao smiled and said, "Work hard to improve yourselves. The future depends on you."
"Yeah." Wei Huan nodded, and his clenched fists relaxed again.
…
The Mu family is not small, and Wei Huan can live in Mu Zhong's room or in the guest bedroom.
But in the end, both of them returned to the car.
After the crew returns to Blue Star, they need the consent of the captain and deputy captain to return to the car, but for Wei Huan, the car is his portable bedroom.
Some people even joked that every challenger is a snail, carrying its home on its back and able to retreat into its shell at any time.
But the fact is that since the emergence of challengers, the hotel industry has been the hardest hit in the world.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong left under the watchful eyes of Professor Zhou and Commander Mu.
The view suddenly opened up, bright as day, and when they came to their senses, they were back in the square inside the car.
The pure white dome has no main light, but the flickering lights illuminate every corner.
There are many small houses with different functions around the square, and outside the houses there are a large number of flowers and plants, as well as rockery and flowing water.
It’s hard to imagine that such a large space belongs to the driver.
In fact, Wei Huan and his team's car is already very simple. The upgrade time is too short, and they took the assessment immediately after the upgrade, so many facilities and equipment are not complete.
This is also the reason why Commander Mu keeps emphasizing that they need to calm down.
Managing tanks is also an important part of challenging the world, and the relationships between crew members also take time to cultivate.
"Captain, deputy captain, welcome back. Do you need to notify the other crew members to return?" The voice of the intelligent butler sounded.
Mu Zhong shook his head: "No, I will call you if I need you."
"Okay, thank you for your trust, goodbye."
The car became quiet again. Wei Huan walked around behind Mu Zhong and pushed the wheelchair upstairs.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, the two went back upstairs and went to bed.
They were too tired. The territorial war had completely drained their spiritual energy. Even though more than two hours had passed since the war ended, their foreheads were still aching slightly.
With such extreme exhaustion, you can't even enter the professional temple for training, so you might as well just go to sleep and recover through the simplest sleep.
Wei Huan slept soundly, as if as soon as he closed his eyes, his biological clock called him to get up.
I opened my eyes and looked at the time. It was five in the morning, the time to get up to challenge the world.
He has slept for six hours since 11 o'clock. It has been a long time since he slept for such a long time.
In the evolutionary process of challenging the excitement of the world, his endurance is constantly improving and his energy is becoming extremely abundant. Sometimes he only needs to sleep for two or three hours to recover to his best condition.
So after discovering that his energy had recovered, the first thing Wei Huan did was not to get up, but to close his eyes and enter the Professional Temple.
After the territory war ended, Wei Huan returned to the tomb for the first time. The sight of the defeated soldiers made him gasp.
All the Shuromas have entered the CD of the "Bloodthirsty" weakness. When fighting the white rhinos, there was a group of them whose weakness was not relieved. Now another wave has been added, totaling 62.
Except for the Demon Eye Lord who served as Wei Huan's "vision", the remaining 18 were also weakened due to their bloodthirstiness.
The zombie bears were also weak for the same reason, a total of 408 of them. The main reason why Mu Zhong consumed so much spiritual energy was because he had used bloodlust on these zombie bears.
In addition, more than 2,800 Ben Wolves sacrificed their lives and needed Wei Huan's resurrection. In addition to the brother who dug out the anus, the four elite Ben were all refreshed with "bloodthirsty".
The anal-digging guy is in the weakness of attribute blessing.
The relatively intact legion is the Earth Beast Mother Legion, but its condition is not very good either, because too many face huggers died, and resurrecting these face huggers is the job of the Earth Beast Mothers, so they have been resting since the end of the war yesterday, and they are all extremely listless.
In addition, all the Nether Fire Bombs that have exploded once and have run out of energy are waiting for Wei Huan to replenish them.
From this perspective, Wei Huan's full combat effectiveness has been reduced by at least 80%.
Now only the Ghost Crow and a small number of Skeleton Violent Bears and Skeleton Hidden Cats can be used, and the others cannot directly become combat forces.
Wei Huan thought about it and decided to resurrect the Wolf Army first.
Under the leadership of Brother Taogang, the Wolf Army has always been a trump card in Wei Huan's hand. Even in a lord war of this magnitude, the Wolf Army played an extremely important role.
During the process of resurrecting the Running Wolf, Brother Diaogang had been waiting by his side. Seeing his legion being rekindled with the fire of death, his whip-like tail was shaking with joy, conveying a feeling of happiness and trust to Wei Huan.
Wei Huan patted the anus-digging brother's head, and his mood was affected by it and became very good.
Wei Huan stayed in the tomb for a full 25 hours. When his spiritual power was exhausted, he went to patrol the tomb. While waiting for his spiritual power to recover, he strengthened his connection with the tomb. Of course, it would be even better if he could find an elite during the patrol.
He stayed there until the last moment he was allowed to stay, just when he had resurrected all the wolves and was then ejected from the tomb.
When he opened his eyes, he was still lying in bed, and the scene outside the window was still gray and chaotic.
It took him three seconds to wake up and remember that he was neither in the Challenge World nor on the Blue Planet, but in the gap between the two worlds, a world called "Rest Space".
It was already 10 o'clock in the morning.
Wei Huan, remembering that he still had things to do today, sat up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom in a hurry.
As soon as the bathroom door opened, Mu Zhong was seen brushing his teeth inside. His mouth was covered with white foam and his eyes were wide open because of the sudden fright, just like a cute and beautiful big cat.
