Zhou Siyu and Lin Ling stayed at Grandpa Yu's place for almost half a month, tending to their flowers, taking walks, riding horses, hunting, and occasionally going to ski resorts and amusement parks.
Without the pressure, Zhou Siyu seemed to relax a lot, and the number of times she saw monsters gradually decreased.
"We agreed that Xiao Wei would contact me as soon as he wakes up." Grandpa Yu held Zhou Siyu and Lin Ling's hands, walking reluctantly down the corridor. "We need to eat the fresh fish as soon as possible, it would be a waste if it spoiled. And the braised and cured meat, we need to eat them soon too..."
Grandpa Yu gave instructions along the way, covering everything from clothing, food, housing, and transportation to work, leaving no detail unattended.
"Come back and visit often." Grandpa Yu straightened Lin Ling's collar, took a step back, and looked at the two of them, saying, "If you feel tired, come back and rest. This will always be your safe haven."
"grandfather."
"dad."
The two embraced Grandpa Yu, their eyes filled with tears.
"Alright, hurry up and go, so as not to delay your business." Grandpa Yu patted Lin Ling, "You, take care of yourself, don't lock yourself in the lab all day."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Siyu and said, "You too, don't be so busy making money all day long. Can you ever make all the money in the world? Your health is the most important thing."
He had so much to say, so many words he wanted to say, but he couldn't get them out. In the end, it all boiled down to one sentence: "Come back soon."
"Dad, take care of yourself too..."
"Alright, alright, when it comes to health preservation, who among you young people can compare to me?" Grandpa Yu glared at him, feigning anger, and said, "Let's go, these past two weeks have been giving me a headache. Now we can finally have some peace and quiet."
"Grandpa, we're leaving." Zhou Siyu jumped onto the spaceship, waved towards the door, and shouted, "I'll be back to bother you again in a while!"
"You little brat..."
"Dad, we're leaving."
Lin Ling gently hugged Grandpa Yu, who patted his back and said softly, "Go on, be careful on the road."
As the spaceship slowly took off, Grandpa Yu couldn't hold back any longer. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and stared blankly in the direction the spaceship had left.
The young bird will eventually spread its wings and soar through the sky. All he can do now is take good care of himself and try not to worry them.
“Uncle Lin, I’d like to visit the Ninth Planet base first.” Zhou Siyu sat in a chair, staring blankly out the dark window. “I didn’t get a proper look around last time I went.”
"Okay, I'll take you there first."
Lin Ling looked up from the documents and rubbed her sore neck.
The experiment failed again; the mice still couldn't tolerate too many cells, nor could they stop the genetic contamination caused by the vine.
They need qualified test subjects to conduct experiments.
Seeing this, Zhou Siyu quickly went behind him and massaged his shoulders.
“You don’t need to rush to the lab. All the projects are progressing steadily, and there are no major problems.” Lin Ling rubbed her eyes and looked up at Zhou Siyu. “You don’t need to worry too much about the Kao virus either. We’ll find a way to deal with it eventually.”
"Yes, I believe Uncle Lin."
Zhou Siyu nodded, casually glancing at the unclosed document and silently noting down some data.
As Zhou Siyu stepped off the spaceship, she waved goodbye to Lin Ling. Lu Qin picked up his bag from the ground and almost fell over.
Are you moving house at the old commander's house?
Lu Qin beckoned two guards over and had them carry the things to Zhou Siyu's residence. He opened the bag and was startled by the dazzling array of items inside.
What is all this? It has everything you need: food, clothing, drinks, and daily necessities. Vegetables, fruits, fresh meat, and cured meat are all included. Lu Qin seriously suspects that if the spaceship hadn't had limited capacity, Zhou Siyu would have moved the old commander's house away.
"Well, what can I do? Everyone loves me." Zhou Siyu shrugged, took out a small package containing a lot of things, and handed it to Lu Qin. "Here, thank you for taking care of me the other day."
"so much?"
Lu Qin put the heavy bag aside and squatted down to help Zhou Siyu sort the items.
"Yes, I brought one for you, Qin Ge, Lin Chen, Brother Yun Mu, and Wu Ming..."
Besides Li Jing and her colleagues, who have been managing the company during this period, it would be unreasonable for him to go out and not bring anything back with him.
"That's really unfortunate. Yun Mu was just transferred to the 10th Star Sphere yesterday, Lin Chen is also away on a mission, and Qin Ge hasn't left the operating room for half a month except for meals."
"Looks like Lin Chen and Yun Mu won't be able to enjoy this. Let's send their portion to the kitchen." Zhou Siyu clapped his hands. "Is the situation at the front not looking good?"
Zhou Siyu frowned. He had just seen a spaceship transporting wounded soldiers, so it seemed the situation at the front was very bad.
"Not very optimistic."
The alliance and the rebels have been at war for almost a year, each occupying half of the territory. Often, the rebels will capture a city, only to have it taken over by the alliance shortly afterward, and then snatched back by the rebels a few days later.
Both sides have stretched their battle lines thin and are locked in a stalemate. Moreover, the alliance is currently short of energy, while the rebels lack food and medicine. The two sides have reached a strange state of harmony, with constant small skirmishes but no major battles.
Zhou Siyu had a general understanding of the current situation and had a vague feeling that this brief harmony would soon be broken.
The alliance can't just sit around with a bunch of food and useless weapons, and the rebels won't starve while they have piles of ore. Both sides need a game-changer.
"By the way, try not to go out recently, whether it's at night or during the day." Lu Qin took out a tranquilizer gun and handed it to Zhou Siyu. "If you have to go out, remember to bring the tranquilizer gun."
"What happened?"
“We had an infected person yesterday, and we are still screening them.”
