Chapter 003: Thyme's Snack Bar

Based on the powerful deterrent power of the Star Spirit Mothership and the nightmare it brought to the Seventh Fleet of the Fifth War Zone, Hao Yi judged that at least for a long time, the Fifth War Zone would never dare to step into the St. Proli Star Zone again. And after the other shili learned that there was such an invincible protector in the St. Proli Star Zone, they naturally did not have the slightest "non-dividing thought". In other words, the St. Prolistar District has invisibly won extremely valuable time to recuperate.

After a period of calm, Haoyi's physical state slowly recovered. Strange to say, after the mysterious pillar of light and the Star Spirit Mothership appeared, the spiritual energy in Haoyi's body seemed to be abundant again. Even if he didn't cultivate according to the spiritual energy cultivation method taught to him by that Star Spirit King, the unusually abundant spiritual energy in his body was enough to make him run amok for a long time.

After fulfilling his promise to go shopping with his wife Erin, Haoyi devoted himself to training the Black Hawk Special Operations Force. This ace special combat force, which Haoyi had high hopes for, had not yet shown its might, and the expected tragic bloody battle ended hastily, making those screaming special combat members very disappointed for a while.

But even so, Hao Yi knew very well in his heart that the hastily formed Black Hawk special operations force had just taken shape, and there was still a long way to go before Hao Yi was in his ideal state of strength. Even compared with the special operations units directly under other group army groups, the advantages of the Black Shadow special operations forces are still not very obvious. Not to mention, Hao Yi also counted on them to serve as deadly daggers in the future battle with the insects. Taking advantage of this rare time of peace, he must sharpen the Shadow Special Operations Force into a truly sharp and invincible dagger.

Fortunately, with the full support of Bob, who is the prime minister, and Hao Yi does not have to worry about other work of the General Staff, the normal training of the Black Hawk special operations unit has gradually become regular in an orderly manner.

Soon after, the Longtan base was actually completed and delivered. Seeing that the members of the Black Shadow Special Operations Force began to enter the extremely harsh training of the whole enclosure, Haoyi, as the commander, breathed a long sigh of relief.

When he was shopping with his wife, he accidentally saw a dilapidated locomotive repair shop in the corner of the street, and Haoyi's homesickness was unexpectedly aroused. So, Haoyi proposed to Bob and his wife the idea of going home to see.

At first, Bob firmly disagreed with Haoyi's idea. He knew that Haoyi's hometown was on the planet where the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone was located. Haoyi going home alone is tantamount to breaking into the enemy's lair by throwing himself into a net, and the consequences will be unimaginable. But after Haoyi carried out his old father and mother at home, Bob finally reluctantly acquiesced to Haoyi.

Erin, who wanted to go back with Haoyi to visit her parents-in-law, was angry and locked herself in the house under Haoyi's soft persuasion and Bob's black face, sulking alone.

So, after handing over the training of the Black Eagle Special Operations Force to Guo Ling, who seemed to have become his deputy, Haoyi embarked on the road home alone.

Due to the hostilities, flights between St. Prolly and Poole have been completely suspended. As a last resort, Haoyi had to divert from the nearby Poole Star District and take a tourist flight back to Eder Planet. Before leaving, at Bob's insistence, Hao Yi reluctantly asked a research institute directly under the General Staff to do something on his face, so that ordinary people couldn't recognize Hao Yi at all.

"Your new name is Dong Chong, and the background is the vice president of a large interstellar group company, this is your citizenship card, all the relevant information is in it, you can take a closer look at it yourself when you need it, in case you need it!" Before leaving, Bobber gave Haoyi a forged identity card, and told him with a straight face: "After you pick up your in-laws in your hometown, get back to Lao Tzu immediately!" I don't want you to make trouble over there, and I'll have to go out to pick you up this trouble-loving little rabbit cub in person! ”

Recalling Bob's fierce but concerned admonition, Haoyi smiled rarely, reached out and took out the fake identity card in his personal pocket, handed it directly to the fat driver and said, "Big brother swiping the card, xiexie!" ”

"Sir, do you have any change on you?" Looking at the citizenship card handed over by Haoyi, the fat driver asked in a somewhat stunned whisper.

"Change?" When Hao Yi heard this, he held the identity card in one hand and touched his pocket up and down with the other, and then suddenly remembered that before leaving, Bob and the others didn't even prepare a dime of cash for him. Bob just told him that there was not enough money in the identity card to spend, and that he could just make an interstellar call to the Prime Minister's Office.

"Big brother, I'd better let you swipe your card! I didn't have any cash with me! Although he knew that there must be enough cash in the identity card, Haoyi couldn't find a penny in his pocket at the moment, so he had to say to the fat driver with apologies.

"Uh, sir, it's not that I won't give you a credit card, it's just that the card reader on this locomotive is broken, and I really can't swipe the card!" The fat driver pointed to the card reader on the control console of the taxi locomotive, and said to Haoyi helplessly: "There are only seventeen federal coins in total, sir, you don't even have this little change, right?" ”

"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll get you some change!" Haoyi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought that since he had arrived at the door, why didn't he let his father buy this small bill of travel expenses for him. So, he explained to the fat driver and got out of the back seat.

However, when Haoyi got out of the taxi, he found that although the street in front of him was vaguely the same as it was back then, he couldn't find the familiar locomotive repair shop.

"What's wrong, sir?" Seeing that Haoyi outside the car window had been stunned and in a daze, the fat driver hurriedly followed out and asked curiously.

"Big brother, are you sure you brought the wrong place?" Hao Yi swallowed hard, looked at the shop with a "Thousand Miles Snack Bar" hanging in front of him, turned his head left and right and glanced at the few shops next to him, and asked in a muttered manner.

"That's right, this is No. 37 Caiguang Street, East C53 District! Look, sir, the holographic house number on the roof of the building! The fat driver pointed to the row of holographic house numbers above the shops with a puzzled face, and explained to Haoyi.

Haoyi glanced back at the fat driver beside him with an expression of disbelief, and then rubbed his eyes vigorously, carefully identifying the holographic house numbers projected on the roofs of those shops. That's right, the house number of that snack bar shop does say "No. 37, Choi Kwong Street, East C53 District". However, what about the locomotive repair shop that my father drove back then?

Haoyi couldn't help but be at a loss at the moment, and took a somewhat distracted step and slowly walked towards the snack bar.

The business of this snack bar, called Thyme, seems to be good, and the aroma of various snacks such as meat buns, steamed dumplings, and wonton stews, accompanied by the sound of snoring from diners, wafts out in waves and burrows into Haoyi's nostrils. But Haoyi has no appetite at all.

"Sir, are you eating? We have a wide variety of authentic snacks made with ancestral recipes! After you eat it, the aftertaste is endless......" I saw Hao Yi in a suit and leather shoes coming over from a distance, and a woman in her early forties and still charming at the door of the store hurriedly greeted her with a smile and greeted enthusiastically.

"Laojia, may I ask where you used to have a locomotive repair shop here, and now you have moved to?" Haoyi asked politely to the woman with some trepidation.

"Locomotive repair shop? Do you want to repair locomotives? Well, there's one around the corner! The woman who looked like the proprietress of a snack bar was stunned when she heard this, then she still smiled enthusiastically, raised her hand and pointed to the corner of the street in the distance, and said to Haoyi.

"No, no, no, big sister! I just want to ask about the locomotive repair shop that used to open here! Haoyi hurriedly waved his hand and explained.

"You mean, what's that repair shop called?" The snack bar proprietress frowned slightly and said with a deep groan.

"Yes, yes, it's Hao's locomotive repair shop!" Haoyi's eyes lit up, and he immediately reminded happily.

"Oh!" The proprietress of the snack bar said an "oh" with a long tail in Haoyi's expectant eyes, and then she shook her head affirmatively and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know where they moved!" ”

Hearing this, Haoyi suddenly stumbled, and almost didn't have a pestle on the steps at the door of the snack bar.

"Sir, are you hungry? Look at you can't stand still, come, the various snacks in this store are famous, not only delicious, but also absolutely full! Seeing that Haoyi seemed to be a little "physically exhausted", the proprietress hurriedly and warmly greeted.

"Uh, thank you, big sister, I'm not hungry!" Haoyi, who couldn't find his home, where did he still have the heart to taste the so-called thymes snacks at this moment, smiled bitterly and politely declined, and then turned around and left with a disappointed face. As soon as he took two steps, Hao Yi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned back to the proprietress and asked, "By the way, eldest sister, may I ask who you bought this store from?" ”

"An old gentleman surnamed Hao is the owner of the repair shop you mentioned!" The proprietress frowned suspiciously and asked, "What, you know each other?" ”

"Uh, yes, yes, yes! I'm a distant cousin with him, and I'm here to find him this time! Hearing the proprietress mention his father, Haoyi was immediately overjoyed, and almost told his true identity. However, his mind changed and he hurriedly made up a pretense on the fly.

"Oh, I see!" The proprietress nodded suddenly, and then explained apologetically: "But little brother, I really don't know where that boss Hao has moved!" We only moved here half a year ago. At that time, the boss Hao said that something had happened at home and he wanted to rush back to his hometown in the countryside, so he was in a hurry to transfer the store to us! ”

"Back home?" Hao Yi was stunned again when he heard this, and only after a long time did he thank the proprietress with a wry smile, and turned around and left the snack bar again lonely.

But just after taking two steps, Haoyi saw that the fat driver was showing an unfathomable smile to him with an obscene face, and his heart suddenly became blocked, and he shook his head helplessly, and waved to the fat driver and shouted: "Big brother, come on, I'll invite you to eat a bowl of wonton stew first!" ”
