Chapter 140 - 140

Chapter 140 Going Home!"Get up! Get up! Everyone hurry up and get ready, we'll be home today!"After Base Chief Chen Chao shouted through a megaphone, the broadcast automatically played, "The third set of national middle school broadcast gymnastics, 'Dancing Youth,' is now beginning—""Preparatory Movement! One, two, three, four; five, six, seven, eight..."While Lin Yu and Gu Chen were enjoying their dream, the DNA within them was stirring violently.Lin Yu rolled down the car window and stuck her head out, her hair all frizzy. " Uncle Chen! Where did you get this?! Help! It's deadly!"Gu Chen tidied his hair with his hand, stepped off the car, took a deep breath of fresh air, and his muscle memory started working like he was doing calisthenics." Lin Yu! Hurry up and get ready, it's time to eat!"Base Chief Chen Chao took a satisfying bite of the grape and coconut bread, the rich aroma exploding in his mouth.It's so delicious!After everyone had rested, the vehicles officially hit the road and traveled safely without any obstacles.Luo Chun was on his routine patrol along the base's perimeter wall when he spotted a spirited convoy in the distance and immediately called over Cao Ming, whose eyesight was perfect."Yes! Brother Chun! It's them! They're back!"Upon seeing the familiar vehicle, Cao Mingshouted with delight, and all the members of the Flying Tiger Team gathered around."Great! I'll send out the notification now!"Luo Chun suppressed his excitement, his face becoming serious and solemn. " Cao Ming! Follow the rules!"Cao Ming, who was about to go down the stairs, paused. "Okay!"The base is full of survivors, so we can't open the door rashly. This is all for everyone's safety."Phew—comrades! We're home!""Second vehicle received!""Three vehicles received!""Four vehicles..."When everyone saw the familiar base, their home, the weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted.The journey was thrilling and exciting, but we inexplicably escaped danger and survived. As the saying goes, good fortune is sure to follow those who survive!"Sis! Look, they're raising flags!"Lin Yu exclaimed excitedly. This was the first time he had ever felt like he had returned from a great victory. How wonderful!Base Chief Chen Chao stretched a bright red flag out of the skylight and waved it vigorously."It's them! They're back!" cheered the crowd standing on the wall.Luo Chun breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the security booth. "Hey—hello? Hello! Comrades! They're back!!"Everyone in the base put down their work and happily hugged each other. Among those who went out were their sons, husbands, relatives, and friends.The entire base is overjoyed that everyone has returned safely!Su Ling carried Xiao Guodong and ran quickly towards them.Xiao Guodong clapped his hands, "Great! Daddy's back! Sister Ranran's back too! AndBrother Lin Yu, Brother Niannian! And Auntie, Uncle..."As she counted on her little hands, Su Ling had already carried her up the wall."We're here! Xiao Guodong, no need to count anymore, they'll all be back!""Wow! It really is! Su Ling, you're amazing! You've improved this time!"Su Ling patted the little boy's head affectionately, " Xiao Guodong has such a sweet tongue! I don't even want to give you back to your dad!"" Don't worry, Su Ling, Xiao Guodong will come to play with you again! Muah!"The people around him smiled indulgently, and his low mood, which had been hanging over him for so many days, eased considerably.Cao Ming directed people to push open the iron gate that hadn't been opened for a long time, clearing away the zombies that were wandering around the entrance in twos and threes.As the vehicles became clearer, Father Linhonked the horn three times and drove directly into the base.After the last car entered the gate, Cao Ming and his men locked the gate again."Great! They're back! They're really back!""I'm finally back!"As soon as the passengers opened the car doors, they were greeted with cheers." Sister Ranran!"Xiao Guodong, like a wild horse, jumped off Su Ling and lunged at Lin Anran like a cannonball.Before Lin Anran could react, she was already on top of Lin Yu.Jiang Qinian withdrew her hands, which had been shifting and changing shape, and glanced idly to the side."They're back! Everyone's back safe and sound! That's wonderful!""Son, let me take a good look, it's wonderful! Thank God! My prayers these past few days have come true! I'm so glad you're alright, so glad you're alright!"Luo Chun and Base Chief Chen Chao nodded to each other." Big Brother Chen, I'm handing over the base to you in full. You've had a tough journey!""Thank you so much! Luo Chun, thank you for your help these past few days!"Base Chief Chen Chao turned to look at his beloved daughter, almost bursting into tears. He had narrowly escaped death this time, and almost didn't make it back."You little ingrate, didn't you see your father?"Little Guodong touched his rough face with his little hands, "Daddy! Little Guodong missed you so much! Hug~"Base Chief Chen Chao hugged his warm, cuddly baby daughter, his heart melting completely.Everyone hugged each other, celebrating their safe return.Yang Yu stood at a distance, searching through the crowd. How could it not be there?" Captain Xu! Where...where is my sister?"Captain Xu Hu's eyes were filled with malice, and his voice was indifferent: "Dead!""Dead?" Yang Yu was utterly devastated, her face deathly pale. "How could she be dead? My sister can't be dead! She promised me she would come back! How did she die?"Captain Xu Hu sighed, "I got bitten by a zombie."Yang Yu's eyes trembled slightly, and her body shook for a moment. "Impossible! You're lying to me! My sister won't die! If there are zombies, why are you all still alive and well? You're lying to me!"The commotion attracted the attention of those nearby.An older woman stepped forward and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"Captain Xu Hu gritted his teeth. That damned woman, she's always causing him trouble!He gave Niu Zi a look."Auntie! It's alright! Yang Yu's sister unfortunately passed away on the way, so she can't accept it right now!""What? He died tragically?! I don't believe it! You're all lying to me!"Yang Yu was agitated; she glared around with red eyes." Where is Yang Xue? Where is she?""She's dead too!"No! Impossible! Yang Xue is dead too?Captain Xu Hu took a step forward. "Xiaoyu, this is my fault. We encountered a zombie horde, and I failed to protect them!"Lin Yu scratched her head, then accidentally blurted out, "Wait a minute! I remember that guy named Duoduo didn't die, sis, do you remember him?"Lin Anran pondered for a moment, "Are you talking about the person who was hiding inCaptain Xu Hu's arms? I remember she was perfectly fine the whole time."Upon hearing this, Yang Yu became agitated. "Are you telling the truth? My sister, is she still alive? Where is she?"Captain Xu Hu's face flushed red. "What nonsense are you talking about? They're all dead! You've been going against me the whole way, and their deaths are related to you!""Hahahaha!" Lin Yu laughed loudly, "What? You want us to be the scapegoats?"
