Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 152 The General's Glory
"Brother, brother, have some candy..."

A little girl with two pigtails, who looked no more than two years old, came to He Xiaoguang's side, speaking in a childish voice and holding out a lollipop.

Looking at the drool on it, He Xiaoguang curled his lips in disgust.

“Brother doesn’t want to eat, brother has this.”

He pulled out a bag of spicy strips, tore it open, put one in his mouth, and chuckled as he sucked on it, "Little sister, want one?"

The little girl's face was filled with terror: "No, no..."

She took a few steps back and landed on her bottom.

"Get up quickly, the ground is dirty."

He helped the little girl up, his gaze sweeping across the playground like a hawk's, like a general surveying his territory: "Erniu! Don't hit Xiaopang!"
Xiaoqi! Don't run outside!

……

The sun rises and sets, sets and rises again.

Several heavy trucks bearing passes issued by the Doomsday Project Command roared into the factory and then roared away shortly afterward.

Nearly a thousand workers, their faces a mixture of exhaustion and excitement, their eyes bloodshot, watched the heavy trucks depart, led by Lin Xing and General Manager Zhu.

After the heavy trucks had completely disappeared, Lin Xing, who also looked exhausted, and General Manager Zhu arrived at the head chefs of Honghe Restaurant.

"Thank you, esteemed chefs. I will have the finance department settle the bill for the meals these past few days with your restaurant as soon as possible."

Both CEOs expressed their sincere gratitude.

The head chef immediately objected: "President Lin, this can't be done like this! Is it okay for your factory to contribute to the apocalypse while we cooks are only allowed to make money?"
Can't we make a contribution just this once? Are we all just after money? Is Mr. Lin looking down on us?

A barrage of accusations rained down on Lin Xing and President Zhu, causing them to break out in a cold sweat: "Gentlemen, you've misunderstood, you've misunderstood, that's not what we meant..."

"Alright, brothers, the job's done, let's get going!"

Watching the chef team quickly pack up their things, the two bosses exchanged a wry smile.

Looking at the villagers who had been waiting at the factory gate for the past few days, they dispersed on their own without waiting for Lin Xing and his companion to thank them, now that the mission was over.

"Well... Old Zhu, I won't say anything else. I promise to support you in all matters within the association from now on. Technical exchanges, material loans, and so on are all easy to discuss."

Overtime pay for the past few days…

"Stop, stop, I, Old Zhu, can afford this little bit of money. Alright, let's go."

With his eyes also bloodshot from exhaustion, General Zhu called out, "Brothers, let's go home!"

Several more buses left, and the once bustling factory area gradually quieted down.

After watching General Manager Zhu and his entourage leave, Lin Xing turned around and looked at the employees in front of him.

"I won't say much more. Everyone go home and get some rest. After the three-day holiday, come to the factory to settle your bonuses and overtime pay!"

"it is good!"

The group embarked on their journey home in high spirits, filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment.

No one knows what the future holds, whether we can survive this apocalypse, or what the ultimate fate of human civilization will be.

But everyone knows that they are not bystanders in this war, but active participants.

If each and every one of us can take action and unite, we will definitely be able to get through the apocalypse!
Like everyone else, He Dashu and Sun Xiaoxue were eager to return home, and even more so.

Other people's kids aren't nearly as mischievous as my Xiaoguang. These past few days of holiday at home, without his parents watching over him... I wonder what the house has become like!
When I got home and opened the door, my heart sank.

He Xiaoguang wasn't home. Looking downstairs, she saw her Xiaoguang hanging out with a bunch of toddlers, his clothes torn and dirty, looking like a little beggar.

An uncontrollable rage could no longer be contained.

The couple, without taking a break, went downstairs with grim faces.

Ahead, Grandma Zhao, our neighbor, walked over.

Seeing the couple, Grandma Zhao's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Young Mr. and Mrs. He are back? Oh dear, we've been so grateful to your Xiao Guang these past few days. You've really raised a wonderful child..."

Uh……

He Dashu and Sun Xiaoxue looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is this sarcasm?
Then another elderly man, with faltering steps, appeared to be partially paralyzed and slowly approached.

"Oh, this must be Mr. and Mrs. He, right? Your son, Xiaoguang, is such a good boy..."

The two were filled with doubt once again.

Upon arriving at the community playground, the two did not rush over but observed it for a while.

"Erniu! Don't climb that high, it's too dangerous!"

"Grandma Sun, are you going home? Little Fatty, carry Little Fatty and take Grandma Sun home!"

"Little Tiger! Come back here right now! Don't run around! Mom and Dad are busy fighting aliens. We kids need to stay put and behave!"

Watching He Xiaoguang command with the composure of a great general, the couple's eyes gradually reddened.

At this moment, He Xiaoguang's tattered and filthy clothes were no longer evidence of his mischief that could ignite his anger, but rather became a symbol of a general's glory.

"Xiaoguang!"

He Xiaoguang turned his head, his face full of surprise: "Dad, Mom, you're back?"

He ran quickly towards the two of them. But halfway there, he suddenly stopped, looked at his clothes, and his face was full of bitterness: "Mom and Dad, could you please go easy on me later? Also, please don't hit me here, my brothers are watching. Can't you do it when we get home? Please!"

Sun Xiaoxue rushed forward and hugged her son, who was covered in dirt, tightly: "Your parents are so happy, how could we possibly hit you? Xiaoguang, you've become so sensible, so very sensible..."

Xiao Guang is right, let's fight the aliens together, let's fight them together..."

"Son, well done! You didn't let your dad down! What do you want to eat tonight? Dad will take you!"

……

"Following preliminary exploration, 259 million locations for the global helium isotope monitoring network have been selected."

The first batch of raw materials and components has arrived at the manufacturer, and the first batch of standardized monitoring stations is expected to be completed in 5 hours.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Sun, is the logistics network ready? Have the installation personnel been trained?"

Behind the person in charge was a huge screen, densely packed with countless small red dots.

Some of those little red dots are located in high mountains and great rivers, some in vast plains, some in endless wilderness, and some in the deep sea.

Even at the bottom of the sea, helium isotopes can seep in.

"Reporting to General Manager Li, everything is ready!"

"Alright, let's get ready to go!"

At his command, countless installation personnel from all over the world, who had been urgently recruited and trained, began to converge on the monitoring station distribution point.
