Nuannuan nodded: "Mom, I know. I'm already better than many people. Most people in this world are like Uncle Liang. If he didn't know about people with superpowers, he probably wouldn't have any thoughts about it. But right now, he's suffering more than I am."
Bi Qiaoan paused for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle. Leaning on Shen Yanming's shoulder, she said, "Happiness really is all about comparison."
Shen Yanming couldn't help but smile too.
Yes, those who can't get enough to eat envy those who can, those who can get enough to eat envy those who have storage rings, those who have storage rings envy those who can live to be a hundred years old, and those who can live to be a hundred years old envy those who have superpowers.
Humans are never satisfied. People like them have already reached the pinnacle of this world.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go to sleep. We still need to see Li Sikai when we wake up tomorrow. Once he's better, we'll go back to Haishi."
"Can I go back?" Having gained superpowers, logically speaking, I should stay in the capital to serve the country!
"Don't worry, Chief Alliance Officer Li isn't that kind of person. He should respect our opinions."
He's used to a carefree, unconventional life and dislikes anything complicated. Bi Qiaoan is the same, except she's more gentle and warm-hearted...
"Honey, if you want to stay in the capital, your parents will respect your decision."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nuannuan hugged Bi Qiaoan's neck: "Mom, I won't leave you! I'll go back to Haishi with you and Dad."
Isn't home good enough? Isn't space nice enough? Why stay in the capital?
Future prospects? She pouted. She couldn't handle fighting and killing; she'd rather just be a peaceful little worm!
Bi Qiaoan pinched her nose: "You're almost twenty, aren't you going to get married?"
Nuan Nuan blushed when she heard this.
She buried her head in Bi Qiaoan's neck and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not getting married. I'll stay with my parents for the rest of my life."
Bi Qiaoan assumed she was just shy and laughed as she gently pushed her head away, saying, "How can that be? Do you want to be an old maid?"
It's not like we can't afford to support a son-in-law.
Nuannuan didn't say anything, thinking to herself, who in this world could be better than her father and brother? She didn't want to compromise with others.
"And An'an too, if there's a girl he likes, he can get to know her."
An An gave a wry smile and said nothing.
Shen Yanming sensed the awkward atmosphere, so he took her hand and led her to the bedroom, saying, "It's getting late, let's rest first."
Perhaps many middle-aged people like to worry about their children's romantic relationships. But the world is different; it's full of uncertainties.
Moreover, since their whole family has become superhumans, their children will try their best to find partners with similar abilities in the future.
But it's not easy. You could say there are gains and losses.
The next day, after getting up, the Shen family went to Li Sikai's place. They fed him some pills and some spiritual spring water. They talked with him for a while and didn't leave until noon.
After dinner, they were notified of a meeting. The couple knew that the higher-ups had made a decision and wanted their opinions.
Sure enough, when Chief Alliance Officer Li looked at the assembled team of superhumans, he voiced his thoughts.
"Originally, I wanted to keep you all in the capital, but you come from Haishi, and I was afraid you wouldn't be willing. However, such special power must be in the hands of the alliance, and I believe you can all understand that."
So we discussed it and decided to establish a special operations group, with its headquarters in the capital and a branch in the sea city.
Those of you who wish to stay in the capital, may stay. Those who do not wish to, may return to Haishi. Live your lives as usual, and actively participate when there are missions. Does this seem agreeable to you?
General Lee's attitude was very gentle and humble, which made him very likable.
To be honest, this is no different from their previous life, except that they have an additional identity and a supervisory unit.
So everyone accepted it quite quickly, nodding and agreeing.
"The Shen family's situation is special. They will continue to provide only powdered medicine and pills, just like before. As for anything else, we'll see how things go."
The alliance isn't short of manpower; it's not like they'd suddenly send a few people who've never been on the battlefield into the fray. It's too much of a stretch. Let the family of four enjoy themselves; let them do whatever they want.
Qi Xili and the others smiled after hearing this, indicating that they could understand.
Old Shen has always been in logistics; frankly, no one would trust him to face the enemy. But let it be, it's fine.
However, after asking for everyone's opinions, General Li was surprised to find that those who came from Hai City all said they wanted to go back.
Wen Chaohui was so happy he couldn't stop grinning. Li Zongmengguan was so envious he regretted giving them those energy drinks.
"Old Wen, you'd better lead your team well when you get back. Remember, this is our alliance's special operations group, not just your Hai City guard."
Wen Chaohui nodded, his old face beaming with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I know."
Li Zongmeng, unable to bear the sight, waved his hand, signaling for them to leave quickly. He feared he might not be able to resist keeping them there.
It's so sour, so incredibly sour. What's so great about Haishi that it can compare to the capital?
What he didn't know was that these people didn't have a strong desire for power and had already gotten used to the mundane life in Haishi.
For them, being able to eat their fill, stay warm, live a long life, and see the end of the world is enough.
Just then, Xiong Jianwei rushed in.
He excitedly told General Li, "Reporting to General Li, all the brothers are better now, fully conscious, and their headaches are gone!"
"Really?" General Li was so excited that he stood up.
These are guards who have lived in Xiao Kai's space for over a decade and have made great contributions; they can't just quietly fall into a coma.
Moreover, they suffered injuries similar to Li Sikai's. Their awakening means that Xiao Kai also has hope of recovery.
General Li grabbed Xiong Jianwei's arm and asked, "What happened? They suddenly got better?"
"No way! It was Yanming. Yesterday, Yanming gave me two jars of honey. I tasted it and thought it was pretty good, so I made some for everyone. Who knew they'd all wake up one after another today? Hehehe, I never expected this!"
Li Zongmengguan remembered that Shen Yanming had mentioned it when he gave him the ginseng yesterday.
He was still thinking about cleaning up after Xiao Shen, and he never expected that the honey water would work so quickly.
"That's because they mixed in medicinal herbs. Do you think honey alone can wake them from their coma?" Chief Alliance Officer Li rolled his eyes, feigning arrogance.
Xiong Jianwei scratched his head sheepishly: "I knew it! How could it be so magical! What kind of Chinese medicine did Yanming put in it? Century-old ginseng, thousand-year-old lingzhi?"
"I don't know if it's those two things, but they certainly aren't cheap. He's really given you his entire savings!"
Xiong Jianwei nodded: "I know, we will remember this kindness."
"Alright, come on, I'll go with you to see everyone!"
