"You know how capable they are. As for Shushu and Huahua, no matter how powerful they are, they are still just girls with soft hearts. When they see you in danger, they will definitely ask them for help."
The higher-ups make it sound nice, saying they'll send people to protect them, but all they really do is see how these few people managed to stay in that world for two months without any problems. They guess they must be quite capable, so they want them to come in with them.
Also, protect them. Don't let them go in and point a gun at you, demanding their help. If they don't help, just shoot them a couple of times.
An Shuyi and Xia Hua exchanged a glance. It seemed that their father didn't understand them well enough, because they weren't the kind of foolish women who would let their husbands take risks for others.
On the contrary, if they encounter danger, they might run as far away as possible.
An Shuheng knew it was difficult to reason with his parents, but he couldn't disobey the orders from above. "Dad, I promise I won't let anything happen to them. No matter how dangerous that world is, we'll go there with weapons."
"And this time, my girlfriend will also be going. She's in charge of this project. Besides the weapons, there are thirty people, all of whom I trained. I guarantee there won't be any problems."
Although he persuaded his father here, he did not immediately agree to the higher-ups' demands. They would definitely go, all for his father's sake. If things didn't go his way, he would simply tell them not to go.
Seeing her brother's troubled expression, Xia Hua said, "Uncle, Yu Mo, Yu Bai, and I will go. We've been there for over two months and know a bit about it."
"We know where there is danger and where there isn't. Their lightness skills are superb, so leading the way won't be a problem. As long as they get our elder brother and the others to the island, we can wait on the sea."
"As for Shushu, we won't let her go. There are a lot of snakes there, and she's afraid of them, so she'll stay at home."
Before her father could speak, An Shuyi objected, "I disagree. You're going to that world and leaving me at home. What kind of nonsense is that? Your warehouse is so small, how many weapons can it hold?"
"I'm just afraid of snakes. When we're on the sea, we won't be afraid because we can't see them. You go to that world, and I'll stay at home, worrying about your safety every day. I can't sleep because of it."
Cheng Yumo said, "Shuyi, why don't you listen to Huahua and not go? Although we've destroyed a lot of those snake dens, the other island is practically teeming with them."
“When we went there, there were already so many. Even if we go next year, the snakes will multiply even more, which will scare you even more. Besides, there are many places we haven’t been to.”
“If your older brother and the others go, they’ll definitely explore both islands, which will be much more dangerous. You’d better stay home. If you’re bored, you can go racing cars or drinking; that’s better than this.”
Whenever Shuyi sees a snake, even the most capable person becomes helpless and can only cower in a corner. She looks so pitiful, so it's better not to go.
An Shuyi didn't answer them, but looked at the person next to her and said, "Don't you also think I shouldn't go and should stay at home?"
Xiao Yubai hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Shushu, why don't you stay at home? It's alright if it's dangerous, I can protect you. As for snakes, they're everywhere there, you're bound to see them eventually."
"Besides, snakes reproduce so quickly, sometimes for more than ten days at a time. With so many snakes, it's terrifying to look at them all year round. Why don't you stay home and wait for us to come back, okay?"
Despite his attempts to persuade her, he felt it was useless; his wife was too stubborn and wouldn't listen to him at all.
Seeing them talking so animatedly, An's father said with displeasure, "I haven't even agreed to you going yet, and you've already decided who will go. Do you think you have too much time on your hands? It's about that world, you can't not go."
“It’s clearly a matter for those above, yet you’re being sent. If something goes wrong, who will be the one who gets hurt? I don’t agree to you going.”
An Shuheng put down his chopsticks. "Dad, this will also play a significant role in the future development of our country. It's just a trip, it's not like we'll definitely... why can't we go?"
“My sister and the others stayed there for two months without any problems. If we go, with so many people and weapons, they’ll definitely be fine. I promise you, I will bring them back safely, okay?”
Xia Hua also said, "Uncle, my brother is in a difficult position, so let us go. Nothing will happen. I have a lot of weapons and poison in my warehouse, so we will definitely come back safely."
"If we really encounter danger, just drop bombs, dozens or even hundreds of them. That should kill all those animals, so don't worry!"
If my elder brother wasn't in a difficult position, he wouldn't have come back to talk about it on New Year's Eve. Besides, this is the project he's in charge of, and now that there's some progress, he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't go.
An's father glanced at his eldest son and said, "Fine, since you two are so determined to go, I won't stop you. If I stop you, you'll probably have to hide and go. When are you going?"
He had a thousand, ten thousand reasons not to let them go, but the kids were all grown up and each one had their own ideas, so there was no point in trying to stop them.
Seeing that his father had agreed, An Shuheng smiled. "Let's go in March. By then the weather will be warmer and the plants will have grown. I've already talked to the higher-ups, and our family will get a share of the research results."
"Of course, it refers to the finished products of research findings, such as various medicines and foods with doubled effects, as well as some others, which have already been approved by the higher authorities."
Of course, he wasn't only thinking of others; he also had to consider his own family. Everyone gets sick, and the results of those studies would definitely be useful in the future.
Xia Hua looked at her elder brother and said, "Brother, why do we have to rely on other people's research results? It's much better if we do our own research. As long as we bring those medicines and turn them into medicine, the effect will be the same."
"In the book's warehouse, there are many prescriptions. These prescriptions are not only unavailable now, but also in ancient times. If we find the medicine and prepare it according to the prescription, wouldn't the effect be better?"
"But since you've already made arrangements with the higher-ups, it's fine to get another result. However, we'll also bring back some materials for our own research."
They have warehouses for those medicinal herbs, fruits, and plants. If they find them and want to bring them back, it's an easy thing to do, and it's better than taking others'.
An Shuheng nodded, "Okay, but when you use the warehouse, don't let my men see you, otherwise it will be hard to explain if they tell the higher-ups. As for the things you bring back, I probably can't help you with that."
"I will take them to search for it. You can set off on your own. If you encounter any danger, just call me."
He had to lead his own people on the search, so he couldn't go with them. However, they were quite capable; the fact that they could stay in that world for more than two months showed just how powerful they were.
