Son of the Stars

Chapter 143 Homecoming
An explosion occurred in the Academic Council building. In a press release from the coalition government, the explosion was a last resort action because rebels had occupied the building and attempted to attack surrounding residents.

What actually happened to this explosion... Lu Chen felt like a mirror.

No matter how urgent the occupation and attack operations were, the SS could not burn the entire building to the ground.

Obviously, there was no problem with Academician Sun Lin's diagnosis. Among the patients who had fever and were difficult to move in the academic committee building, at least one was a patient with quantum energy release syndrome.

It's just that we haven't gotten the surveillance video yet, so we can't tell whether those patients exploded after committing suicide due to the collapse, or whether they escaped the suicide caused by the collapse because of the onset of quantum release syndrome...

This inquiry is necessary but not urgent.

Before the Academic Committee Building was razed to the ground, the robot dog and the humanoid AI robot successfully entered the basement of the Academic Committee Building and took out Watanabe and NO.14's brain jar.And the coalition government has also completed the off-site backup of data on the server of the Academic Council Building.This is equivalent to the coalition government basically losing just one building.

In terms of exchange ratio alone, this is a great victory.

The members of the research team, including Lu Chen, were not so optimistic. At least after experiencing Mulati and the Buddha-like uncle, no matter how optimistic people were, they could not escape the attack of depression.

Sitting on the retreating plane, Lu Chen looked at the exquisite airplane meals in front of him and had no appetite at all.

Not only did he lose his appetite, but Giuseppe and Estela couldn't eat either.Although the two of them did not see the tragic scene in the Buddha statue's home, just based on Mulati's desperate cry...the two of them could not sleep peacefully today.

Thinking of this and looking at Mu Zhiran who was sitting next to him and sleeping soundly, Lu Chen felt a little lucky in his heart - thanks to the fact that he had the courage to refuse Mu Zhiran's request to go with him.Otherwise, now I would have to comfort Dr. Mu, who was obviously even more sad, with such a sad and uncomfortable mood.

He's also not very good at comforting others.

When the plane landed smoothly at Dongyang Special City Heavy Load Aircraft Airport, the sky in the east was slightly bright and it was almost early morning.Slowly moving from the plane to the corridor bridge, Lu Chen walked very slowly.

Mu Zhiran had been notified by his family before boarding the plane that they were taking Dr. Mu to stay at the villa for a few days, and this vacation invitation was mandatory and could not be refused.

In order to reassure Dr. Mu, Dr. Mu's mother called and explained the situation: "We just want you to rest for a few days in a place far away from danger. We have no intention of forcing you to break up with Xiao Lu, nor do we want you to break up with anyone else." It’s an attempt to go on a blind date, your dad and I just miss you—get back to me quickly!”

You see, with such a convincing and straightforward reason slapped in the face, even Mu Zhiran couldn't think of any suitable excuse for rejection.She couldn't even think of why she should say no.

Tang Qinglong had to rush back to the Institute of Physics to deal with the mountain of work. Li Xiaohui was still in distant North America. Yang Weimin's situation was special - he had to take his wife to the headquarters of Chongyang Heavy Industries to make a face-to-face report to the board of directors.

The board of directors wanted to know why the guards of Chongyang Heavy Industry left the factory and went to the distant city of Yunyang to carry out a "special operation to protect the factory."And why it was not Roberts, or other senior vice presidents, who announced the move...but the son-in-law of the majority shareholder and chairman.Estela is going to the General Investigation Bureau for questioning. The group of people at the General Bureau are obviously very interested in his life background.

Now in the entire research team, everyone has somewhere to go and a task to do, except Lu Chen and Giuseppe who have no arrangements.

"I will act alone." At the airport gate, Giuseppe made a very decisive request to act alone. "It is too risky to follow you, especially Dr. Lu - I found that as long as I follow you, I will be unlucky. . After finally coming to Dongyang, I think it’s better to go shopping by myself.”

After saying this, Giuseppe turned around and got into a taxi regardless of Lu Shentong's dissent.He shouted to the taxi driver in a voice that everyone could hear, "Let's go, let's drive first, just like the Maasai people who meet the traffic police, run first!"

The taxi that had just started stopped in place, the passenger side door opened, the chubby driver got down from his seat, grabbed Giuseppe by the collar, and threw him out of the car.Then before he could react, the driver ran back into the cab. While the vehicle sprayed water and sped away, he also said a harsh word.

“Fuck you, I’m a Maasai!”

In order to avoid embarrassment, Lu Chen turned around and rushed into the airport.Then I found a noodle shop that had just opened in the terminal, went inside and ordered a bowl of Dongsan Ramen, which was expensive, unpleasant, and too strong to be suitable for morning.

Anyway, as long as we avoid embarrassment...

Lu Chen sucked the noodles one by one until semi-solidified oil floated on the thick tonkotsu soup. It wasn't until the clerk on the side came to ask for the fourth time, "Do you have any other products that you need to order?" , Lu Chen just packed his things and prepared to leave.

There are actually not many people eating Dongsang Ramen early in the morning, but there are always some exceptions.The two passengers who passed by Lu Chen seemed to be very good friends. When one of them passed by Lu Chen's seat, he said to his traveling companion, "When the things here are finished, do you want to go back and check it out?" Looking at your mother?”

Lu Chen paused slightly in packing his things, for less than two seconds.It looked like he had just finished the basic packing and was taking a subtle pause to recall whether he had any other luggage to pack.

Lu Chen was a little surprised to find that he could no longer remember the structure of the orphanage where he grew up when he was a child, and what the people there looked like.

Before Lu Chen could remember, his parents had passed away.The orphanage is his home - at least the "former home" where he once lived.Such a place naturally has special meaning to Lu Chen.

Humans are such a strange animal. They have been judged by the brain as "not important" and then slowly forgotten.But after discovering the fact of "forgetting", those forgotten things were suddenly given an unprecedented importance, so that people began to worry and rack their brains to replenish the forgotten memories.

Lu Chen packed his things, carried his suitcase and walked towards the boarding gate of the high-speed subway.If nothing happens, and you suddenly feel interested - then go back and take a look.
-
In a ramen restaurant in the departure hall of Dongyang Special City Heavy-duty Aircraft Airport, two young men were eating ramen and chatting.The young man with dyed yellow hair and wearing a suit asked, "Why did you suddenly think of persuading me to go home to see my mother?"

"I just watched a video." The young man with black hair and a jersey said while chewing a braised egg. "I don't usually read chicken soup articles. I don't know why I suddenly became interested today, and the result was immediately obvious. not coming."
