Soon, their ship arrived in front of the warship. Evan looked at the tall warship in front of him with surprise in his eyes.
"Are your country's warships really that good? Why do the newspapers in the United States keep saying that China's weapons and warships are very backward?"
Team Leader Qin said, "This is normal. Some foreign countries love to smear China. I'm afraid many people still think of China as the country with queues."
Evan blushed. It was true. If he hadn't met Captain Qin and the others, he probably would have thought that China was a very backward country.
After boarding the warship, Lin Chuchu rushed over and hugged Liu Xiaonuan tightly.
"Thank goodness, it's so good that you're all alright."
Lin Chuchu's voice choked with sobs; every day here was torture for her.
I'm worried something might happen to them.
I'm afraid they'll never come back.
Thankfully, they really came back.
Liu Xiaonuan winced in pain, "Sister Chuchu, let me go, I have a wound on my arm."
Lin Chuchu immediately became extremely nervous and tried to roll up her sleeve to check.
"You hurt your arm? How serious is the injury? I'll call the doctor right away."
Liu Xiaonuan quickly shook her head, "It's nothing serious, just a scratch, it'll be fine in a few days."
Her injuries were relatively minor; the others' wounds were more serious, with the vice-captain being the most severely injured. The warship's commander quickly summoned the ship's doctor.
At the same time, have someone take Evan away to rest. Evan is currently an ordinary person and has not been investigated or interrogated. We don't know if the other party will do anything detrimental to China, so we can't let Evan wander around.
It would be bad if they discovered the ship's secrets.
After everyone's injuries were treated, those who needed IV drips and those who needed medication took them. The least injured of them would need to recover for half a month, while the vice captain would need at least two or three months.
This time, they had reaped enough rewards, and Lin Chuchu did not plan to go to other countries because, according to Evan, he had already collected almost all the Chinese cultural relics in several major countries.
The rest, in the other party's view, were absolutely impossible to obtain easily.
It's better to go back to China first, and then visit other countries later if there's an opportunity.
Hearing that everyone had decided to return to China, Lin Chuchu's heart soared. They had been away for almost a year and hadn't contacted their families for so long. She wondered how worried their families must be.
As the warship approached the harbor and Lin Chuchu stepped ashore, an unprecedented sense of belonging welled up in her heart.
Mu Chen stayed quietly beside her.
"That's great, we're finally back. The commander will definitely give us some time off so we can spend some quality time with our families."
Every time I return from a mission, I get a certain amount of vacation, and this time will be no exception.
They were still at the familiar naval base. After all this time, the naval base was still the same, without much change.
Behind him, Captain Qin was speaking to Evan in a low voice, "You'll have to stay at the naval base for a while to make sure there's nothing suspicious about your identity. Then the higher-ups will make proper arrangements for you."
"If you want to stay in China, that's fine, or you can go to other countries. However, we can't protect you all the time; we can only ensure your safety while you're in China."
Evan nodded. "Of course, I completely understand your approach and have no objections."
He was naturally happy that China had saved his life and was willing to accept him as a foreigner, and at the same time, he would seriously consider whether to stay in China.
Staying here wouldn't be bad, actually. He had noticed before that everyone treated him very politely, even the officers on the warship.
However, if he doesn't go to other countries, he won't be able to bring his money back, and he doesn't want to eat and stay here for free.
After everything was explained, some of the more seriously ill team members were allowed to stay at the naval base hospital, where they would receive excellent treatment.
The rest of them went back to the capital.
They slept at the base for one night, and the next day they went to the airport and flew away.
They couldn't go straight home; after all, they needed to deal with the things in Lin Chuchu's space.
They had already received the news that Lin Chuchu had dug up a mine and returned.
There wasn't enough open space at the base, so we had to arrange another location.
After they got off the vehicle, they were taken directly away by military vehicles to a suburb outside the capital, a place surrounded by mountains and some relatively flat areas.
At this moment, the area is completely under lockdown, and soldiers are everywhere.
Lin Chuchu never expected to see a high-ranking leader here.
He quickly stepped forward, saluted, and greeted them.
"Greetings, sir! Why did you come all this way in person?"
The senior leader smiled and said, "I wanted to come and see you all. You've worked hard this time."
He knew how dangerous it was, and that after fleeing the Eagle Nation, almost half of the people were injured, including their remaining personnel in the Eagle Nation.
"It's not hard work, it's what we should do, and we're also fortunate that someone helped us later on."
Lin Chuchu mentioned Evan, after all, Evan's help to them was real.
"You mean that foreign child? He's really something. He was able to help you wholeheartedly after guessing your identities, which shows his sincerity."
Regardless of their motives for helping them, they genuinely benefited, and China will never forget those who helped them.
If the other party needs it, they will do everything in their power, just like this time, to rescue them.
"Yes, it's still uncertain whether the other party will stay in China, but I think it's highly likely. In fact, if they're willing, after a long time they've developed a sense of belonging, we might as well let them help us collect cultural relics. However, such a situation requires cooperation from many parties."
Lin Chuchu carefully explained her plans. The senior leader did not interrupt her, but listened attentively, nodding occasionally in agreement with her.
When she had finished speaking, Lin Chuchu stopped, and the base commander beside her spoke at the opportune moment.
"Comrade Lin, we've chosen a location that we think is quite suitable for copper mining. Why don't you come with us and take a look?"
That's copper! Copper ore that can be directly extracted from copper has not yet been discovered in China. How could they not be excited?
Lin Chuchu nodded obediently and arrived at a low-lying place surrounded by mountains on all sides with roads on both sides.
Lin Chuchu thought this place was indeed quite suitable, mainly because it was large.
"I'll first remove the parts of the mountain that don't contain copper, and then put the copper-containing ore on top to make it easier for subsequent mining."
"Okay, that would be best."
This place will become a forbidden area in the future, and will not be open to the public until the copper mine is completely mined out.
