Chapter Twenty-Three: Returning to His Hometown

Previous Chapter

Cheng Xue didn't know what to say, or how to face Xu Xingchen at this moment, and the words came to her mouth a few times, but she couldn't figure out a clue, she just stood dumbfounded.

"I know I deceived you, I'm sorry Liu Ping, I'm sorry for you, if you hate me, I can understand, if you want to make all this public, I have nothing to say. Xu Xingchen sighed, stood up straight in a gloomy manner, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he walked towards the road he came from step by step, unwilling, regretful, resentful, all the emotions surged into his heart in an instant, his chest seemed to be pressed against a mountain, and suddenly he felt that his chest seemed to be slammed by a sledgehammer, his throat and eyes were sweet, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

When Xu Xingchen woke up, it was already three days later, and Cheng Xue's hair was scattered and lying beside him, her face was slightly yellow, with a hint of haggardness, and it seemed that she had been staying by his side.

Xu Xingchen sighed, and gently stroked the hair on Cheng Xue's forehead with his fingers, and in a confused "boom", Cheng Xue opened her eyes, "You're awake." ”

"I'm sorry. Xu Xingchen grabbed Cheng Xue's slightly cold little hand.

"It's all over, it's just a dream. Cheng Xue pressed Xu Xingchen's hand on her face with her backhand, and showed Xu Xingchen a smile that she thought was bright.

"What about her?" Xu Xingchen hesitated for a moment, but finally asked this sentence.

"Sister Ping's funeral has been dealt with, according to her will, the ashes were sprinkled in the sea, and Jia Xiangji and Duoduo are fine. Cheng Xue's heart knot was actually untied on the day Xu Xingchen vomited blood and fell, after all, Xu Xingchen was alive in front of her, why bother to think about the cause and effect, not to mention that Liu Ping had passed away, after figuring it out, and confirming with Luo Yuan that Xu Xingchen was fine, she and Li Dajiang took the initiative to assist Jia Xiang to take care of Liu Ping's funeral, and then returned to the ward to take care of Xu Xingchen.

"Thank you, sister, I owe you. Xu Xingchen tried hard to control his emotions, but when he heard that Liu Ping had been cremated and the ashes were sprinkled into the sea, tears still flowed down his eyes.

"You old monster, who do you call sister?" Cheng Xue adjusted the atmosphere in a timely manner and lightly hammered Xu Xingchen's calf.

"From now on, there will be no Jia Deqing in this world, and the only thing left after that is Xu Xingchen is completely Xu Xingchen, thank you, sister. Xu Xingchen stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, but the idea of wanting to return to Xu Xingchen's hometown to see it came to him, and he looked at Cheng Xue a little distracted for a while.

"Squeak" As the door of the ward was pushed open, a huge head poked in, who else could there be if it wasn't Ji Wusheng!

"Boss" Ji Wuming saw Xu Xingchen, who was half-sitting on the sickbed and had woken up, showed a sincere smile, and walked to Xu Xingchen's bedside under Xu Xingchen's beckoning, and before he could speak, Guo Yaoyang, Huo Yan, Shui Qingling, and Mu Lengyun also squeezed in from the door.

Looking at the tall and mighty Guo Yaoyang, Huo Yan with a slightly obscene smile, the honest and stocky Ji Wusheng, the cold face Mu Lengyun who couldn't hide his concern, and the petite and naughty, Shui Qingling, who has always been like a little girl, Xu Xingchen's mood instantly brightened up a lot, and his gloomy eyes also skipped a trace of brilliance.

"Hello sister-in-law. Huo Yan ignored Cheng Xue's eyes, and still said hello to Cheng Xue in a sneering manner, or Mu Lengyun was more sensible. After a short "hello sister-in-law", he came to Xu Xingchen's side.

"Boss, are you okay?" Mu Lengyun's usually exposed half of her face is matched with a slender and well-proportioned figure, which is still very eye-catching in her eyes, even Xu Xingchen, who is also a man, is no exception, but every time she thinks of her other half of her ghostly and yaksha-like face, she always secretly says a pity in her heart, and suddenly she is not interested, and she has no mood to continue to fantasize.

"I'm fine, it's just that there were dark wounds left in the previous battle, plus there were some problems during the evolution, there was some bruise in the body, and it was spit out, so it was completely fine, which made you worry, thank you. Xu Xingchen smiled and said the result given by Luo Yuan.

"Boss, are you okay, you actually said thank you to us!" Shui Qingling's eyes widened, and he put the back of his hand on Xu Xingchen's head to test the temperature to make sure he had a fever.

"Get out of the way, it's not too big or too small. Xu Xingchen scolded Shui Qingling angrily.

Shui Qingling was not disappointed after being scolded, but stuck out his tongue, stroked his chest with his hand, and let out a sigh, "It's okay, it's okay, this is the boss in my impression." ”

"Poof" Cheng Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud by them, "You guys are really uncomfortable, he doesn't scold you, you don't feel comfortable." ”

Guo Yaoyang touched his shiny head and smiled dryly, "It's a little uncomfortable." ”

"What's the situation outside, is there any movement on the aliens' side?" Xu Xingchen changed his words and asked about business.

"What movement can there be, since the confrontation a month ago, those grandsons seem to have disappeared, not only have there been no specific movements, but even the contact signals between them have been captured less, and they have disappeared out of thin air, I guess they were scared by us. Huo Yan hugged his shoulders with a smug expression.

"Impossible, since they have launched such a large-scale attack, they should not stop there, the previous defeat is also caused by their light enemy, if we really talk about strength, we still have a certain gap with them, I think they should be brewing some bigger conspiracy next, we can't covet the comfort of this limited time, we must seize the time to build defense facilities, and step up the evolution of ordinary soldiers, only in this way can we have the strength to fight, otherwise it may be impossible to recover at any time." Xu Xingchen was not as optimistic as Huo Yan and the others, but thought that this was a sign before the storm.

Everyone was silent for about 2 minutes, but Cheng Xue broke the deadlock, "Xingchen makes sense, the longer the aliens are quiet, I'm afraid the next counterattack will be crazier, but you don't have to worry too much, after our Science and Technology Commission's data analysis of all of you, you may soon accept the second injection of the God Forbidden Zone, not only you, but after our unremitting efforts, we have increased the success rate of the first phase of the injection of the God Forbidden Zone to 80% , which means that the combat effectiveness of most of our fighters will be upgraded to a new stage, and some special potentials will be stimulated, so although we can't be optimistic about the next battle, we should not be too pessimistic. ”

"Can we evolve again?" Ji Wusheng's emotions were instantly mobilized by Cheng Xue, and the two invisible naked eyes, which were already about to be squeezed by fat, were staring at the size of bells at this time.

"There is no joke in the army!" Cheng Xue's categorical words, not only Ji Wusheng, but even Xu Xingchen, everyone in their hearts, increased their confidence by three points.

"In addition, I will reveal a little more secret to you, your boss's body has undergone this hospitalization examination, we found that the cell structure in his body has undergone qualitative changes, for human civilization, this change is the first case, and then through a short period of time after taking a drug called X42, he will be injected with angel wings for the second time, and this time the certainty is more than 95%. At the risk of being punished, Cheng Xue still revealed the details of this plan to all the backbones of Xu Xingchen's Scales Legion in advance.

"Thank you, sister, but, this is a secret, you tell us like this, let Director Li know, and he will punish you. Xu Xingchen took Cheng Xue's hand, and it was difficult to hide the look of gratitude on his face.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, whoever dares to leak half a sentence, I will break his leg. Mu Lengyun has always been direct, with a cold face, and his eyes swept over everyone, making everyone feel a chill down their spines.

"It's like someone would really talk about it. Huo Yan muttered in private, coldly met the other eyes under Mu Lengyun's hair, Huo Yan only felt a chill on his body, and his two hands strangled his neck, until his face was flushed, and Mu Lengyun's hair fell, and then he withdrew his eyes, Huo Yan looked at Mu Lengyun like a monster, panting heavily, and didn't dare to make a sound anymore.

Mu Lengyun showed this hand, which impressed everyone, especially Xu Xingchen, he didn't know what kind of terrifying state Mu Lengyun's spiritual power attack would evolve into after the second injection of the God Forbidden Zone.

"Okay, Yunzi, don't tease Lao Yan, in the next period of time, I may go to my hometown to see my parents, during my absence, you must obey Director Li's arrangement, don't make trouble, if there is anything, contact me in time." After Xu Xingchen completely accepted this identity, the germination of wanting to go back to his hometown took root and then spread, he wanted to see his parents, his brother, and the hometown that he had not really set foot in yet.

"Boss, let's go with you!" everyone expressed their desire to follow Xu Xingchen home at the same time.

"Nonsense, I'm going home, not going to fight, aren't you occupying public resources with me, you have your business. Xu Xingchen reprimanded with a cold face, but after thinking about it, he still made a decision, "That's it, just follow me without a life, and the rest of you will be in place." ”

Except for Mu Lengyun, everyone showed a look of disappointment, only Ji Wuming was secretly proud.

Shunping County, belonging to Shunping County, Xuanyuan Province, is located in the west of Zhili Province, the western suburbs of Baoding Prefecture, the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, the middle of the alluvial fan plain, the terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and there are many mountains and hills in the territory.

Shunping was originally a small place, neither Xuanyuan nor the aliens regarded it as a very important place, so when the aliens repeatedly attacked, this place did not suffer large-scale destruction, but showed a peaceful scene in the current situation.

Although Xu Xingchen should have a deep understanding of this place, he has a deep sense of strangeness in his heart, he doesn't know how to deal with himself after seeing his parents and brothers, and how to deal with himself after seeing his classmates and friends.

The path back to his hometown is twisting and turning, Xu Xingchen and Cheng Xue and Ji Wuming are walking one foot deep and one foot shallow, Xu Xingchen's apprehension is in stark contrast to the psychology of Cheng Xue and Ji Wuming, one is afraid of the familiar strange, and the other two are really looking forward to the familiar familiarity.

"Yo, isn't this the second boy, I heard your parents say that you went to the army, is this a restoration?" A middle-aged woman carrying a wicker basket on her shoulder approached her.

"Yes, Aunt Five, I just came back from recovery and went home with my comrades. The image of this middle-aged woman emerged from Xu Xingchen's memory in an instant.

"It's good to be back, hurry up and go home to see, I passed by your house just now, it seems that I saw a lot of people in the family, and I am talking to your father and mother, what is hypocritical, I am in a hurry to deliver food to your fifth uncle, so I didn't pay much attention. The middle-aged woman who Xu Xingchen called "Aunt Five" said while her feet kept going in the opposite direction.

Xu Xingchen agreed vaguely, as if he knew something, and hurriedly took Cheng Xue and Ji Wuming to his home.
