Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

Upon hearing Sun Yue's question, Zhou Feng felt a weight lift from his heart.

At least we don't need to worry that Sun Yue will ask questions about other things.

As for the matter concerning the elder brother, Zhou Ming has clearly given his opinion on how to handle it in modern society.

He just needs to follow the instructions given by Zhou Ming and the others.

However, unexpectedly, the historical process here is completely consistent with the world Zhou Feng originally lived in.

What was destined to happen still happened according to the course of history.

Big Brother signed a treaty with Mongolia, allowing its troops to legally enter the country; tanks were deployed to areas hundreds of kilometers from Beijing; troop reinforcements were being added to the border; and attacks on civilians had already occurred in Heilongjiang Province…

All of these actions have come true, just as Zhou Ming said in the WeChat voice message last night!

But Zhou Feng didn't rush to respond; instead, he subtly revealed a hint of doubt.

"Director Sun, what you're talking about... I think I've heard some rumors about it over there before. After all, you know, the United States has been paying close attention to what's going on here, saying things like political expansion and threatening the world."

At this point, Zhou Feng deliberately paused, giving Sun Yue time to think, before continuing, "I need to contact them again to get more details before I can give you a definite answer. I don't know if they've received any information about Big Brother over there, so don't get your hopes up too high."

Sun Yue nodded, then patted Zhou Feng on the shoulder.

"Comrade Zhou Feng, rest assured, the main reason we entrusted this matter to you is because it's not convenient for our own people to get involved directly. And the United States has always been wary of Big Brother, so investigating their movements is normal procedure."

Sun Yue's words were quite well-considered.

Zhou Feng's public identity in this courtyard world is that of an overseas Chinese from the United States, so it is reasonable and perfectly justifiable for the forces behind him to investigate Big Brother.

"Alright, Director Sun, I've noted this down. However, I can't give you an answer right away. Once I get back, I'll contact them as soon as possible to find out the situation and then get back to you."

"Of course, of course."

Sun Yue readily agreed: "Although this matter is significant, there's no rush. We must prioritize stability. Please inform us immediately of any news."

The two chatted for a while in the office about the details of the matter and how to contact each other, before Zhou Feng got up to say goodbye.

Such a serious incident has occurred with the Big Brother. The Special Operations Unit is extremely busy, even recalling some of the personnel who were stationed at the suburban factory.

Hearing the noisy sounds coming from the corridor outside, Zhou Feng decided not to linger any longer.

Bai Ling got up and left the office with Zhou Feng, escorted him to the front door, watched him get into the jeep that had come to pick him up, and then turned back to Sun Yue, staring intently at him.

After seeing them off, Sun Yue was still tidying up the documents on his desk when he noticed Bai Ling's movements. He looked up at her and asked, "What's up? Is there anything else?"

Bai Ling pursed her lips, sat down opposite him, and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "Director Sun, there are some things I'm not sure if I should say."

"explain."

Sun Yue put down the documents in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Bai Ling.

"It's still about Zhou Feng. He did bring us a lot of things before, such as mineral distribution maps, seeds, and grain. They were all real contributions."

Bai Ling frowned slightly, and her tone changed: "But in the end, he's just an ordinary person from the future. Do we really need to drag him into this? This isn't something to be taken lightly; it could potentially affect relations between our two countries! And..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sun Yue raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Comrade Bai Ling, Zhou Feng is indeed not good at diplomacy or intelligence work. We can't do everything he says without question. The organization is well aware of this, and so am I."

Sun Yue's lips curled up slightly: "The fact that you thought of this shows you're seriously considering it, which is good, but..."

"Zhou Feng comes from the future. The mineral distribution map he brought allowed us to quickly find more than a dozen large mines. The seeds he brought can save countless lives. Although the machines he obtained are all everyday items, they are inspirations for our researchers that span decades!"

"So even if the information Zhou Feng brought back about the situation between the two countries may not be entirely accurate, its reference value to us is immeasurable. At the very least, it can corroborate our current judgment."

"not to mention…"

Sun Yue paused here, seemingly considering his words.

"What else?"

Bai Ling asked anxiously.

Seeing her expression, Sun Yue took a deep breath.

Although Bai Ling and Zhou Feng had a relationship that went far beyond that of comrades, he still chose to believe in Bai Ling's ideological awareness and loyalty to the organization.

"Moreover, this is also a test for us regarding the future world."

"If Zhou Feng has already caught their attention, they will likely take this opportunity to contact us."

Bai Ling's breath hitched slightly.

This matter is so important that it's beyond her control; the two countries are about to intersect across 60 years of time.

This concept was too big for her to process all at once.

"So we sent Zhou Feng to investigate this time. On the one hand, we really need his intelligence on Big Brother's side. On the other hand, we also want to see how the organization there reacts through Zhou Feng's actions. If they really care about us and want to cooperate with us, then this is an opportunity."

In fact, ever since Zhou Feng brought the product manual over last time, we were already 80% certain that Zhou Feng had been targeted by the organization over there.

However, even an 80% certainty is not necessarily reliable under these circumstances, and it is necessary to confirm it again.

Bai Ling remained silent for a long time before finally nodding slowly.

She herself knew that under such a level of planning and probing, there was nothing she could do given her status.

Sun Yue glanced at him thoughtfully, then suddenly smiled.

"Comrade Bai Ling, what are you worried about? Although Zhou Feng is sometimes unreliable, he's still quite capable. His feelings for you are obvious to everyone, even a blind man. Just stick close to him and don't let him get away."

Bai Ling, who was talking about serious matters, blushed instantly and glared at Sun Yue reproachfully.

"Director Sun, we're discussing a very serious matter right now. What are you talking about? We...we just have a very ordinary working relationship!"

"Oh! Yes, yes, it's a work-related matter. Just keep that to yourself. I'm not getting involved in your young people's affairs."

Sun Yue waved his hand with a smile, indicating that Bai Ling could leave.

The latter left Sun Yue's office almost as if fleeing, her face flushed.

On the way back, I thought about Sun Yue's words over and over again.

Bai Ling blushed and fled the office as if she were running away, but she kept thinking about Sun Yue's words over and over in her mind.

It's not just about the important relationship that Zhou Feng develops through his interactions between the two worlds, but also about how their future will unfold!

In her heart, she naturally wanted to establish a relationship with Zhou Feng, after all, she was not young anymore, and her family would write letters from time to time urging her to get married.

Now that she has met Zhou Feng, someone she finds attractive and who is also liked by her, she naturally wants to be with him.

But the problem is that Zhou Feng comes from the future Dragon Kingdom. Will there really be a future between the two of them?

Despite the 60-year age difference, Zhou Feng could go to her home to propose marriage, but how could she meet Zhou Feng's parents?

If Zhou Feng's parents were both under 50, they probably wouldn't even be born yet. Even Zhou Feng's grandfathers weren't as old as her!

Lost in thought, she rode her bicycle to the courtyard house.

Zhou Feng had already returned home in a jeep and contacted Zhou Ming by phone.

He didn't even need to investigate further; the matter was already laid out before him.

Now, I need to wait at home for a day or two before going to find Sun Yue to deliver the message "just in time".

Looking at the information he found on his phone about the conflict that occurred in the north this year, Zhou Feng's lips involuntarily curled up slightly.

The older brother is bullying people because of his equipment, right?

It's just a few tanks and long-range rifles, isn't it?

Tomorrow I'll go find Sun Yue and report this matter, and then I'll go find Zhou Ming and have the weapons that have been prepared over there delivered.

That's nothing but a tank! Watch how the HJ-10 teaches it a lesson!

And then there's that thing about using guns to call roll from a distance!

In this era, the military had no shortage of sharpshooters.

Their gun sense and mental fortitude are exceptional. Like the intelligent sniper rifles Zhou Ming prepared, once you teach them the three steps of turning on the machine, aiming, and firing, they can understand and fire accurately, even more accurately than modern soldiers!

These people are true survivors of the battlefield; they are not only unafraid of death, but their desire to hit their target is even stronger.

This time, Zhou Feng really wants to make some contributions to his hometown folks!

Although we certainly can't go to the battlefield ourselves, sending future equipment there so that our ancestors can shed less blood and even make us proud in front of the Russians is a great deed!

"Ming-ge, what you mentioned has already happened. The people from the Siheyuan World also want me to inquire about Big Brother's attitude. I plan to give them feedback again tomorrow. As for the equipment, are you all ready?"

The message was sent out not long before Zhou Ming replied instantly.

"The equipment is all ready: 20 sets of Red Arrow-10 rifles! 10 smart sniper rifles, with 1,000 rounds of ammunition! I've already sent them to your warehouse and locked them up. You can come and pick them up anytime. As long as we reach an agreement with the Courtyard World, our supplies will definitely be sufficient."

Zhou Feng stared at his phone screen, his heart surging with excitement, wishing he could return to the future right now.

Those are anti-tank missiles for individual soldiers and smart sniper rifles!

For men, who could resist this level of romance?

Just hearing the names of these two items made Zhou Feng extremely excited.

Tsk tsk tsk…

If we send them all to the soldiers on the border of Heilongjiang Province, would the people on Big Brother's side still dare to invade our territory?

We'll beat them so badly they won't even know where they're going!

"Okay, Ming-ge, I understand. It's too early to bring it out now. If we delay a bit longer, I'll send it all to the organization here."

Zhou Feng took a deep breath, replied to Zhou Ming, and put his phone down.

After the weapons are delivered this time, the organization in the Siheyuan World will definitely change its assessment of him dramatically.

Comrades who can deliver supplies, seeds, and daily necessities such as household appliances are certainly important.

However, compared to comrades who can obtain advanced weapons, the former are definitely much worse!

Putting everything else aside, the protective measures around him will definitely be at least doubled.

Since setting up cameras around his two fixed anchor points and sending the memory card back to the real world for experts to analyze every week.

Zhou Feng was already well aware that he was being "targeted".

It's less about watching and more about protecting.

The people coming and going were all from the Special Operations Unit, so after Zhou Feng learned about the situation, he didn't confront them directly, but instead tacitly approved of their actions.

After all, with these people protecting him, his life is more secure.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Feng suddenly smiled.

Why think that far ahead?

Let's get the immediate matter sorted out first; that's the most important thing!

After returning from the Special Operations Division, Bai Ling didn't communicate much with Zhou Feng. She washed his clothes and went home. The next morning, she obediently came over and cooked him breakfast. The two of them then took the special car parked at the entrance of the alley and went to the Special Operations Division again.

"You've got results so quickly?"

Sun Yue's gaze towards Zhou Feng changed slightly.

He knew Zhou Feng's modern identity and naturally understood that it would be very simple for the other party to investigate the ins and outs of this conflict.

So his real purpose was to test whether modern society had taken notice of Zhou Feng, and in just one night, Zhou Feng actually appeared here!

Which side moved faster?

Or did their plan deviate slightly?

"Ah, it's quite a coincidence. The people over there just finished investigating Big Brother's movements, and that's why they came to report to you."

Zhou Feng shrugged, giving off a "what a coincidence" look, which made Sun Yue's face turn black.

"Alright then, Comrade Zhou Feng, please begin your report."

"Comrade Sun Yue, regarding this matter, Big Brother only wants to demonstrate; he will not launch a full-scale attack on us. Furthermore, in non-provincial areas, they are intentionally controlling the scale of the conflict and will not use weapons of mass destruction."

Listening to Zhou Feng's words, Sun Yue nodded silently, his eyes still fixed on him.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. My friend here told me that he's willing to provide us with a batch of individual soldier equipment, including anti-tank missiles and smart sniper rifles. They're very easy to use and would be perfect for our soldiers in Heilongjiang Province!"
