Chapter 13
Li Hao knew she had to stand up like a hero, but she was afraid. She was afraid of dying in a terrifying other world, afraid of not seeing her parents again. Not everyone can be a hero. She had a wonderful life and a loving family. Why was she chosen?
After Director Luo left, Li Hao found Sister Lan. Sure enough, she had a new live broadcast account and all the fans' information had been transferred to her.
She started her live broadcast again. She hadn't been online for a long time and many of her fans had left. However, because of the popularity of her previous video, she still had a lot of attention, although someone later came forward and said it was from a movie set.
Li Hao just told the audience in the live broadcast room that he was going to enter the entertainment industry. He casually said a few words about disappearing and then started the game live broadcast.
She quickly got into the state, but ended the live broadcast very quickly today. In the past, when she was addicted to games, it would take at least several hours, but this time, she only played for two hours before Li Hao ended the live broadcast.
After closing the live broadcast room, Li Hao sat there in a daze. After a while, she stood up, took her bag and went out. As soon as she reached the elevator, her neighbor opened the door. It was a special person who was guarding her.
"Can't I go out?" She really wanted to see her parents at this moment.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask." The other party's authority was very low, so he waited until he finished his call. "Where do you want to go? Director Luo asked me to take you there."
Sitting in the car, Li Hao took the time to call his parents and told them that he was coming over.
"Why did you come back suddenly?" asked my mother.
"I haven't been back for more than a month. I came to see you." Li Hao said coquettishly.
"We clearly had a video call yesterday." Her mother exposed her words.
"I want to eat the food my father cooks. I haven't eaten it for a long time." Li Hao said.
"It's almost lunchtime now. You should speak earlier next time."
When Li Hao got home, his complaining parents were already preparing the meal. Tasting the familiar flavor, he said, "Dad's cooking is still the best. It's much better than takeout."
"You, don't order takeout every day. You are at home every day anyway, so you can cook your own meals. It's much healthier. Instead of eating takeout every day, eat more nutritious food. You see, you have lost weight recently." Mom was always paying attention to Li Hao's condition.
"I'm exercising specifically for the live broadcast, I'm not skinny. As for me, you guys don't want to eat tofu and cabbage every day when I'm not around. You have to spend the money I give you." Li Hao said as he concentrated on eating.
"Don't worry about us. We have more than enough to spend with our retirement pay, so there's no need to send money. You've bought a house, so you should save some money now." Dad said as he brought out the finally stewed chicken from the kitchen.
After dinner, Li Hao stayed at home with his mother, watching TV, while his father went fishing with his friends. That was all he stayed at home for the rest of the day. The next day, Li Hao woke up in his bedroom, waited a moment, then pulled out his phone and sent a text message to a number.
--Let me take you to your place and see what you said you had prepared for me.
Lin Hao was a kind person who had lived a smooth life: a loving family, like-minded friends, one or two brief romances, and a career she loved.
But all of this is based on her having a harmonious and peaceful country. This is the foundation of the building. Her mother had a very serious illness before. If it weren't for the medical reimbursement, their family might not be able to maintain a normal life.
But there are some things like this. If they force or threaten Lin Hao to travel through time, she will definitely not cooperate. No one can force others to make a choice, but they used the best attitude to give the choice to Lin Hao herself.
The number belongs to Director Luo. He's been under a lot of pressure lately. The medicine is so effective that they need more. But I didn't expect to receive a text message from Li Hao this morning.
A car took Li Hao away and took her directly to a military airport, where she was escorted to the newly established base.
After landing, he saw Director Luo and a few others waiting for him.
"You're here." Director Luo walked forward and greeted him first.
"Hello, Director Luo, I just came to take a look first." Li Hao had not made up his mind yet.
"Okay, our plan is almost ready. You can take a look at it." Director Luo was in a very good mood at this time.
"... Considering that there aren't many things you can bring with you when traveling through time, and there are weight-bearing requirements, this is a small solar panel, because we don't know if the sun in that world can be realized. There are also hand-cranked power generation facilities here. The batteries are also the latest technology, purchased at a high price." Director Luo took Li Hao to visit the various project teams in the base.
"This is an edited dictionary. We compiled a dictionary of otherworldly languages based on previous videos and texts. It's also equipped with AI pronunciation correction."
"...These weapons have been requested and you can use them."
"...And this is our plan. We won't take any action for 10 days until the energy is fully charged."
Li Hao looked at their well-prepared supplies and plans. The weight of her heart gradually eased. By the time she returned, she had already made up her mind: she would never agree to travel through time. No matter how they threatened her or used moral coercion against her, she would remain unmoved. Even if they arrested her and imprisoned her for a few years, she wouldn't risk it.
But she didn't expect the other party to use any harsh tactics to coerce her, nor did they use moral concepts to threaten her with their parents. This actually made her waver. After all, from her perspective, if they had still adopted the same attitude as in the live broadcast, she would never have agreed. The current approach, on the contrary, made her feel sincere.
She looked at Director Luo, who was still trying to introduce him, and suddenly said, "You will treat me like your daughter, right?"
"Yes, you're my goddaughter!" Director Luo said solemnly, looking at the girl, who was only a few years older than his daughter. His daughter had just started college and was a sweet child. As a father, this was his promise.
"Okay, I agree. But I have one request. I want the person who used Sister Lan's account to stay, and the person who used the digital account to stay," Li Hao said, adding, "My most basic requirement is that my life must be the highest priority. No matter what you discover during the journey, your plans must be based on this. Don't risk my life. If I discover any problems, I will withdraw, and you can forget about my cooperation. Traveling through time is my skill. Even if you imprison me, I will not surrender."
"Don't worry!" Director Luo said solemnly. "Actually, I know this is due to previous events. It's my fault for not managing my staff well. But it doesn't represent our attitude. Like I said at the beginning, thank you for your hard work."
"You can have a formal meeting with everyone tomorrow. We'll be working together from now on."
"Well, sure." Li Hao thought it was just an ordinary meeting.
But when Li Hao looked at the hundreds of people in front of her, when she walked out, everyone started applauding.
"This is our hero. Li Hao, let us thank her." Director Luo patted Li Hao's shoulder gently.
"Hero!" Everyone applauded and shouted at Li Hao.
Li Hao waved stiffly, her face burning as a wave of emotion surged through her. She couldn't help but clench her fists at the sound of the hero. It filled her with courage and passion. It was a cliché scene, but the genuine passion within it was truly powerful.
...
Wang Bing received the news in the afternoon that he needed to leave here the next day and return to his original job. He couldn't believe it at all.
Especially when he realized he was the only one left.
He was the first to discover Li Hao's affairs, so he had the most power. Lin Lan couldn't do anything besides chatting, and Li Maoxue, what he knew was completely useless.
Wang Bing was dining with Lin Lan and Li Maoxue. He wanted to complain to them, but when he heard that neither of them had received the news, he stopped.
"Why, why can you stay?" Wang Bing couldn't help but ask directly.
"I...I don't know either?" Lin Lan was frightened by Wang Bing and felt strange herself.
"Don't you know why you did something wrong?" When Li Maoxue heard that Li Hao was unwilling to cooperate, he knew that it was the live broadcast that made Li Hao feel very resistant.
The cause of this problem must be Wang Bing's previous threat to Li Hao to buy medicine, which may even be the cause.
Li Maoxue originally thought that all three of them would be kicked out, but he didn't expect that only Wang Bing would be kicked out.
"Based on what you did at that time, Li Hao would not have kept you in the project. You have to know that it was Li Hao who was able to travel through time, and the initiative is in her hands. Whether it is the director or the higher-ups, now they all hope to get each other's help, instead of Li Hao hoping for our help like before." Li Maoxue pointed out the key point.
"I...I was the one who found her first. Not only did she not thank me, she even kicked me out of the team!" Wang Bing was stunned, and then he was filled with anger. In his eyes, he was Li Hao's benefactor. If he hadn't discovered Li Hao's video, he would have been the one who helped Li Hao survive in the other world. And since they helped Li Hao survive in the other world, wasn't it her duty to find a potion for him?
"You, isn't this our job responsibility? On the contrary, our subsequent actions were actually quite unfair to Li Hao." Lin Lan opened her eyes wide, unable to believe that Wang Bing would think this way.
Li Maoxue had explained everything clearly to Wang Bing, but he seemed to be still lost in his own world. Perhaps it was hidden jealousy, his condescending attitude from the outset, or his eagerness to achieve something, that had led Wang Bing to make the mistake from the outset.
Lin Lan and Li Maoxue saw Wang Bing off. Looking at his still furious back, Li Maoxue thought, "Once he calms down, he'll probably regret it forever." But none of this mattered to him anymore. He needed to find his role quickly. He was about to work on this historic project!
