Wenren Lei rubbed against his shoulder haphazardly: "Enough."

The onlookers started making a fuss again.

"Oh my~~~"

"You old folks, you're really getting too cocky!"

Wenren Lei acted unreasonably: "What are you looking at? I haven't even asked you for a viewing fee yet."

Yi Yang said, "That's perfect, you can clean up the watermelon rinds as a reward."

Wenren Lei rolled up his sleeves: "I think you're just asking for a beating."

One minute later.

Yi Yang, who was being beaten on the ground, cried out in a low voice, "Boss, boss, stop hitting me. Look over there."

Wenren Lei turned her head to look over.

Most of the people around Wenren Yu had left, leaving only Qin Suihua, the base chief of District 6, sitting beside Wenren Yu, while Liao Xingwei stood beside them with his head down.

Wenren Lei immediately became alert: "Holy crap. What's going on here? Is Liao Xingwei having his mother propose marriage to my brother?"

He opposed the marriage.

He stood up abruptly, crouched down, and hid on the other side of the conference table. He crouched under the table and slowly moved to the opposite side of Wenren Yu, eavesdropping on the conversation at the table.

A rustling sound came from behind.

He turned around and saw that everyone from 10G had followed him, all of them sneakily eavesdropping, leaving only Fu Yan sitting at the end of the conference table.

Wenren Lei clicked her tongue and said, "What are you all doing here?"

Cheng Nianli listened attentively to the sounds coming from the other end and replied perfunctorily, "Just checking in on them."

Qin Suihua said from the other end, "Base Commander, I'm so sorry, Xingwei has caused you trouble during this time."

Wenren Yu didn't stand on ceremony at all: "Then let's take him back to District 6."

Qin Suihua paused for two seconds before speaking, "Base Chief Wenren, could you please, for my sake, allow him to remain in District 11?"

"Mom!" Liao Xingwei said immediately, "This time I violated the base's rules, so it's only right that I was expelled. Please don't make things difficult for Ayu."

"You silly child," Qin Suihua scolded him.

Wenren Yu slowly said, "Chief Qin, why do you insist on keeping him in District 11? As far as I know, District 6 has better conditions in all aspects than District 11. After all, District 11 was only recently transferred from a civilian base to the official one."

Qin Suihua said sincerely, "That's precisely why I wanted Xingwei to gain more experience in District 11. Commander Wenren is exceptionally capable and will eventually lead District 11 to greater heights. I want Xingwei to experience this process as well."

Wenren Yu chuckled softly: "Parental love is indeed profound. But I think it's not my obligation to educate Liao Xingwei."

Wenren Lei silently gave his brother a thumbs up. Now that things had been said to this extent, even the most thick-skinned person should know to restrain themselves, right?

Unexpectedly, Qin Suihua continued gently, "Xingwei also deserves credit for this mission at the Cloud Map Base. After all, he single-handedly held this banquet hall from collapsing during the earthquake. More than a thousand lives—doesn't that earn Xingwei the right to remain in District 11?"

Liao Xingwei raised his voice: "Mom! Please stop talking. Let's go back to District 6, okay?"

Qin Suihua and Wenren Yu were locked in a stalemate, and the scene fell silent for a moment.

Wenren Yu's tone was calm, even tinged with amusement: "Base Commander Qin, you seem to have forgotten that you just used Liao Xingwei's merits to secure a priority cooperation opportunity for the crystal core power generation technology. How can you now use that same merit to trade for Liao Xingwei's continued stay in District 11? Even in a business transaction, this isn't how it works, is it?"

"Base Chief Wenren..."

"Enough!" Liao Xingwei was extremely embarrassed and interrupted Qin Suihua, "Mom, stop. I'm not going back to District 11, nor to District 6. I'm going to the Alliance to find my dad right now."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Wenrenlei's eyes lit up. If Liao Xingwei really went to the league, he might be able to make a splash.

Qin Suihua watched Liao Xingwei's retreating figure, her lips moved slightly, and finally she turned around and smiled apologetically at Wenren Yu: "Please excuse me, I'll take my leave now."

Wenren Yu nodded slightly: "Please do as you wish."

Once all the footsteps in the banquet hall had disappeared, Wenren Yu looked across the conference table, where a fluffy white head was visible.

He smirked and tapped the table with his fingertip: "Stop hiding it."

"Hehe..." Wenren Lei slowly stepped out from under the table. "Good afternoon, base commander."

"Them!" Wenren Lei was about to betray his teammates when he turned his head and saw that the group of people who had been eavesdropping with him just moments before had somehow scurried back to the end of the table and were nonchalantly eating watermelons.

"Holy shit...you dogs..."

"Sigh." Yi Yang tossed aside the watermelon rind. "Go out and get to work, serve the people."

"Let's go, let's get to work."

The group lined up and went out.

Wenren Yu shook her head and smiled, then beckoned to Wenren Lei: "Come here."

Wenren Lei walked around the table and slowly moved to Wenren Yu's side: "Brother."

Wenren Yu gestured for him to sit down and asked, "Are you envious of Liao Xingwei?"

"What?" Wenren Lei didn't understand.

Wenren Yu pinched his cheek: "He has his mother protecting him, are you envious?"

If you want to admire something, you must first know what kind of thing it is.

The concept of a mother was actually quite unfamiliar to Wenren Lei; what came to mind was the image of Wenren Yu protecting him.

"I'm not envious," Wenren Lei said. "I have you."

Wenren Yu looked at him quietly, her expression unchanged, but her vision was slightly blurred.

Wenren Lei leaned forward, getting close to his face: "Are you sleepy?"

Wenren Yu blinked: "Probably. I'm sleepy, that's why I asked you such a pointless question."

"You can ask me anything you want." Wenren Lei smiled, her eyes crinkling. "I don't think the Cloud Map Base will be finished being cleaned up anytime soon. I'll call Aiyowei over, and you can go to the car and get some sleep."

"it is good."

Fu Yan sat at a distance, listening to the conversation between the two brothers, and he noticed something that neither of them was aware of.

For example, when Wenren Yu asks Wenren Lei a question, it actually reflects a subconscious envy.

When Wenren Yu was separated from his parents, he was already old enough to remember things. The year he spent with his parents was pitifully short, and this memory remains hidden in his heart, whether it is a comfort or a trauma is unknown.

There wasn't much usable stuff left at the Cloud Atlas base, and the cleanup was finished just as darkness began to fall.

Everyone was hungry, so Wenren Yu and Huang Yiyun discussed that since they would inevitably have to stop and travel frequently on their way to District 11, they might as well let everyone have a full meal before setting off.

Huang Yiyun found a flat spot outside the base and used his superpowers to build a temporary earthen wall, arranging for superpowered individuals to patrol inside the wall.

They dispersed within the circle, lit bonfires, and gathered around them to cook and eat.

The human presence in this area was so strong that it attracted zombies from miles around.
