Tang Xubai leaned out of the car window, his voice carried by the wind, a mixture of youthful exuberance and panic.
He had expected to see a familiar villa or familiar people. He did see the villa, but it was shorter. He also saw the people, but only their heads remained.
This is?
Ye Zhi's family looked up and saw three armored vehicles driving towards the villa. The four of them exchanged glances and began to speak.
They don't know the truth yet, so of course they have to play their true selves, since they genuinely care about Tang Xubai and the others.
"Watch out, there's a pothole ahead, a huge pothole!" Old Master Song shouted towards the front, his spiritual power transforming into a megaphone, transmitting his voice to the driver's ears.
Ye Zhi also leaned closer to the gray horn, "There's a pothole, stop the car quickly!"
After hearing the warning from the others, Tang Xubai gasped. He didn't want to die in the line of duty because of the natural disaster; his car was only five meters away from the crater.
The driver slammed on the brakes with his boots, but the snow was too slippery. The car slid for about five meters before coming to a stop, leaving very clear tire tracks on the snow.
Tang Xubai patted his frightened heart and exhaled the cold air he had just inhaled. "Ah, that was terrifying! I almost crashed."
The front wheels of the armored vehicle driven by Tang Xubai were on the snow-melted slope, with half of the front wheels still suspended in the air.
The slope is very steep, with a height difference of more than ten meters from the ground. This difference is caused by the accumulation of snow over the past few days.
Looking in his rearview mirror, he saw several cars behind him closing in, and he quickly shouted, "Stop! Stop! Don't hit me!"
Lu Xingxiao and Wang Yao both stepped on the brakes. "The snow is very slippery, we're stepping on the brakes!"
The sound of the armored vehicle braking suddenly and the commotion in front of the villa attracted Ye Yubai and the others who were on the left and right sides of the villa.
Ye Jingyu and the others who had arrived exchanged a glance, knowing what he meant: it was all an act.
Lu Ke whispered to Lu Ben and Zhang Dongliang, who had just joined the new family, "You two don't need to say anything. Just do whatever we do."
Lu Ben and the other person gave each other an OK sign.
After giving instructions to the two men, Lu Ke took out the eye drops he had prepared beforehand from his pocket, ready to put them into his eyes at any moment.
Tang Xubai, Lu Xingxiao, and Wang Yao jumped off the armored vehicle, waving and running. Their breath was clearly visible in the cold weather. "Little Sweet Bean, Uncle Song, Brother Ye, Sister-in-law, Uncle Lu, Xubai, and the two big brothers, we've brought you a big order—oh my!"
The three of them arrived at the edge of the slope, expecting to make a cool jump, but instead they fell flat on their faces, appearing neatly prostrate in front of Ye Yubai.
The person closest to Ye Yubai was Lu Xingxiao. As soon as Lu Xingxiao looked up, she saw the shock in Ye Yubai's eyes and the twisted expression on his face, where he wanted to laugh but was trying not to.
Lu Xingxiao chose to play dead, quickly burying her face in the snow that had just piled up and was only a few centimeters thick. Her hands awkwardly clenched into fists and then quickly unclenched. She had really lost face this time.
Ye Yubai was surprised to be greeted with kneeling and obeisance by Tang Xubai and the other two as soon as he arrived. He quickly dodged and, together with Old Master Song and the others who rushed forward, pulled the three kneeling men up.
"Get up quickly, I can't accept such a grand gesture from you!"
Tang Xubai refused Lu Ben's offer to help him up and got up from the ground as if nothing had happened.
If it weren't for the snow on his combat uniform, everyone else would have been fooled by his nonchalant demeanor.
"Ah, I'm fine. Go and help Brother Wang and Xingxiao. I'll help you pull them up."
Although Tang Xubai said that, if you looked closely, you could see the twitching at the corner of his mouth. It wasn't a twitch from pain, but a twitch from embarrassment.
I'm grateful to them for their hard work in collecting supplies from the garment factory last time, which allowed him to wear such thick clothes; otherwise, he would have been in so much pain that his mouth would have been twitching.
Tang Xubai secretly rejoiced that the captain hadn't come today, otherwise, seeing the three of them fall and fall like this in the snow, he would have made them all do extra training!
Wang Yao's face turned bright red. He glanced at Ye Zhi, whose eyes were full of smiles, and felt utterly ashamed.
The gentle uncle image he cultivated in front of Ye Zhi last time must have completely transformed into a careless, absent-minded image.
Ye Jingyu put his hand on Tang Xubai's shoulder and said, "Let's go inside the villa and I'll spray some medicine on you while I'm at it."
Tang Xubai quickly waved his hand, "We're fine, the clothes are very thick. We came here today to bring you a big order!"
Ye Zhi leaned forward, her eyes shining as she asked, revealing her true nature as a little money-grubber, "Uncle Tang, what exactly is this big order you're talking about?"
Could it be the huge crystal core order she's thinking of?
[If there are enough crystal cores, I might consider declining Uncle Yunhao's kind reminder. Of course, it's just a consideration.]
When Tang Xubai and the other two set off, Chen Yunhao sent a message to Grandpa Song and the others via radio, saying that the base's higher-ups coveted the supplies in Ye Zhi's hands and sent Tang Xubai and the other two to invite their family to stay at the Victory Base. Chen Yunhao's advice was to refuse.
Ye Zhi's idea was not to go, but to covet openly and honestly. She even planned to take them to the Victory Base and then forcibly seize them, making the higher-ups of the Victory Base bleed a lot. The way to bleed them was with crystal cores!
Grandpa Song even sighed in front of Chen Yunhao, "No matter where you are, there are always parasites and rat droppings."
Tang Xubai winked at Ye Zhi, pointed to the recording equipment he was wearing, and silently uttered two words, "Record."
He rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, the implication clear: "After our base's higher-ups learned that you had opened a supermarket, they ordered our team to invite you to live at our base."
Lu Xingxiao quoted one of the base's high-ranking officials as saying, "The conditions are very generous. Each of you will receive 10,000 crystal cores, and you will live in a villa within the Victory Base. Our base will also provide you with meat buns every day."
Then Lu Xingxiao arrogantly said, "Ten meat buns per person per day!"
This tone is also something I learned from that high-ranking official at the base.
Ye Jingyu, Song Yuanqing, Lu Ke, Ye Zhi, Old Master Song, and Ye Yubai stopped halfway and didn't even enter the villa's gate. Lu Ben and Zhang Dongliang followed closely behind the group; if they didn't move, they wouldn't move either.
The group turned around and confronted Tang Xubai and his two companions, creating a tense atmosphere.
The climax of this scene is here!
