For Hu Liye...
The so-called S, A, B, C, D levels, as well as monsters, aliens, and even Ultraman, have nothing to do with him.
He was just one of the masses, ordinary, but very realistic.
He may have once had his own dreams, but now, due to various practical considerations, they have been completely erased.
All he needs now is his monthly salary to support his family.
The salary that supports my own little family.
Yes, Hu Liye was very unlucky.
In their time, being able to support their families was the highest achievement.
So-called dreams, hopes, love, and the like are all elusive illusions.
Yes, Hu Liye's wife was not the type of woman he truly liked.
Hu Liye's wife's type was not Hu Liye's.
However, due to life's circumstances, both of them unanimously put aside their tempers and pickiness towards each other.
And so, life went on.
Until her own child was born.
Until now.
Hu Liye is no longer the impetuous young man he once was.
His job is as a foreman on construction sites.
The way he was addressed changed from "Little Hu" to "Old Hu".
However, misfortune is sometimes inseparable from luck.
Hu Liye's wife was not his type.
However, as time goes by...
Hu Liye gradually fell in love with his wife.
His wife was the same; initially, she didn't like her partner much either.
However, as time went on, love gradually developed between them.
When Hu Liye and his wife's child was born, they were already considered a model of loving marriage.
Unlike the news stories of "husband cheating, wife finds out and beats up mistress" and "wife cheats, husband finds out and beats up other men in anger".
In fact, these news stories eventually became topics of casual conversation between Hu Liye and his wife over tea.
Not all couples in this world are perfect, and similarly, not all of them will inexplicably encounter a lot of trouble.
Thus, this exemplary loving couple, at the height of their love, brought their child into the world.
Hu Liye, who had just become a father, realized how ridiculous his ambitions had been when he saw the little one.
This little thing is so delicate, and just as much expensive.
Hu Liye's savings were constantly being depleted by this little thing.
This becomes even more apparent after one's own child starts school.
In fact, Hu Liye could have easily sent his wife to work.
His wife, like him, was not very educated and did not have a deep understanding of the present era.
However, his wife also had her own craft.
In addition to his wife's craftsmanship, he also worked as a contractor.
It's not a dream to let your child live the highest standard you can imagine.
However, Hu Liye deeply loves his wife.
He knew how hard it was to work outside.
Although he didn't know what kind of treatment craftsmen received outside.
However, as a contractor, he had witnessed the brutality and bloodshed of people at the bottom of society.
He didn't want the woman he loved to be exposed to these things.
This can be considered a form of "male chauvinism" that is deeply abhorred in today's society.
However, Hu Liye's wife understands him very well.
A man's pride can sometimes be just that awkward.
It's just like a woman's pride.
Therefore, Hu Liye's family is just like countless other families in China.
The men work outside the home, while the women stay home to do housework and take care of the children.
In order to make up for the financial gap caused by his wife not working, Hu Liye worked extremely hard.
He's willing to take on any project as long as there's enough money and it's legal.
As for danger?
That's another matter.
The excavation of the Gomora Rock is also a source of great concern for Hu Liye.
He was conflicted about two things.
Firstly, although he doesn't understand the current social environment, he is aware of the disasters caused by the monster. If his reckless actions lead to the monster's awakening, he will become a sinner in society, which will likely have a negative impact on him and his mother.
Second: My superiors have been urging me to start construction as soon as possible so that the project can be completed on schedule.
After all, their plans were all interconnected.
They don't have countless Plan Bs like some people do, in case the project is delayed.
Then the remaining projects will inevitably be delayed.
If they miss this opportunity, what awaits them is a broken cash flow and the collapse of their company.
Therefore, under this pressure, the company's leaders passed the pressure on to Hu Liye.
Yes.
Hu Liye was hesitating.
Should they use their limited equipment to destroy Gomora Rock?
Or should we wait for the arrival of those mysterious national agencies?
This is a problem.
After all, given Hu Liye's rank, he didn't even know the names of those organizations.
How should I call them?
"Hey, foreman, how's this project going? Can you give me a straight answer?"
A worker took the cheapest cigarette out of his mouth, took a deep drag, and shouted at Hu Liye.
"Who knows? I have no authority to decide what to do with this strange thing."
Hu Liye shrugged.
Then his eyes were fixed intently on the cigarette in the worker's hand.
The worker took another drag of his cigarette, letting the cheap smoke circulate in his lungs for a while before slowly exhaling and saying, "Foreman, why are you staring at my cigarette? What's wrong, getting a craving?"
After hearing what the worker said, Hu Liye coughed and looked away.
When Hu Liye was young, he didn't learn good things and smoked like those delinquent youths.
Moreover, I was extremely addicted to smoking back then.
Smoking a carton of cigarettes a day is the bare minimum.
However, when he heard that smoking would affect his children, he resolutely quit.
However, even now, when I see others smoking, I still can't help but crave a cigarette.
"Get lost, cigarettes are no good, they're addictive."
Hu Liye patted the worker on the head and said with a smile.
Not all foremen are indifferent and abusive towards their workers; Hu Liye was not one of them.
