Chapter 443 Going Home
Chapter 443 Going Home
Earth, a blue planet.
After several years of development, the Earth has now recovered to its former glory, and is even more developed and prosperous than before.
All of this began with that interstellar invasion. Through this war, China underwent a radical transformation and rose to become the leader among all nations on Earth.
This situation is caused by its advanced improvement in its spacefaring capabilities.
The feedback from the Taotie fleet allowed Earth, which was still in the pre-nuclear civilization stage, to directly step into the threshold of space civilization.
With unprecedented advancements in science and technology, China has undergone tremendous changes across the country.
In just a few years, Juxia City has transformed from an ordinary city into a first-tier city.
Even with rapid development, some areas still retain their pre-war appearance.
In a residential area, a small and exquisite courtyard house stands, surrounded by a pleasant and beautiful environment.
Inside the courtyard, Glenn lay back in a deck chair, lazily basking in the sun.
"Ah! How wonderful! I wish these days would never end."
Just then, a kind voice rang out:
"Xiao Lun! Dinner's ready!"
Upon hearing this voice, Glenn sat up abruptly and replied:
"Okay! Mom! Coming right away!"
Upon entering the room, a fragrant aroma immediately filled the air, prompting Glenn to take a deep sniff.
"Wow, Mom! What's the occasion today? Why is it so lavish?"
"Hehe, it's rare for you to come back, let's celebrate!"
Just then, a middle-aged woman carrying a bowl of soup walked out of the kitchen with a smile.
"I'll do it, Mom!"
Seeing this, Glenn quickly stepped forward to take it, and then asked:
"Hey, where's my dad?"
Upon hearing Glenn's words, Glenn's mother said with displeasure:
"Hmph, ignore him. This guy has recently become obsessed with playing mahjong. He comes back around mealtimes. We can just eat by ourselves."
"Haha, it's good that you're interested."
Glenn couldn't criticize his father, so he could only laugh it off.
Just then, a sound of footsteps was heard in the courtyard, and then a middle-aged man humming a tune walked into the house.
He was about to speak when he saw Glenn. He paused, then said in surprise:
"Hey? Xiao Lun, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me?"
Upon seeing his arrival, Glenn replied:
"Dad, I just got back! I didn't even have time to tell you."
The middle-aged man was clearly pleased. He stepped forward, looked Glenn up and down, and then smiled:
"Haha, it's good to be back, it's good to be back. Looks like we have to have a drink today."
He ran into the house, took out a bottle of wine, and poured a glass for Glenn and himself.
The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes at her father, then called out for dinner.
The family enjoyed the meal very much, and it looked like a truly happy family.
Glenn, meanwhile, conveniently forgot his status and ate a meal with his family like an ordinary person.
The meal passed quickly. Perhaps because of his son's return, the middle-aged man unusually refrained from playing mahjong and spent the afternoon chatting with Glenn.
And just like that, a day passed.
As night fell, Glenn gazed at the starry sky he remembered, becoming lost in its beauty.
Before arriving on Earth, Glenn specifically instructed Sun Wukong and the members of the Super Soldier Squad not to tell Dukao and the others about his affairs.
He's not here to bother anyone; he's just here for a vacation.
They had no choice but to agree to Glenn's request, and whether or not to tell Dukao depended on the situation.
……
early morning.
Glenn walked out the door with a light step.
The air was filled with noise: the calls of breakfast vendors, the sounds of people moving about, and the constant honking of vehicles.
Gryn picked at his ear and said dejectedly:
"Having good hearing isn't always a good thing!"
Ignoring the noise, Glenn walked toward a corner of the street where a van was parked motionless.
Glenn didn't hesitate and walked straight in that direction.
Perhaps due to a misalignment of vision, Glenn's approach went unnoticed by the van driver; or perhaps Glenn never intended to be discovered.
Arriving at the side door of the van, Glenn looked at the black glass, and without changing his expression, reached out and knocked.
"Clang clang clang!"
Accompanied by a crisp knocking sound, there seemed to be a moment of silence inside the car, before the car door window slid down.
Inside the car, the three men and three women stared in disbelief at Glenn, who had a gloomy expression on his face.
The three men and three women were each eating fried dough sticks and soy milk, but their movements were stiff and motionless, as if they had been frozen in place.
Looking at the six familiar people inside the car, Glenn said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Are you ignoring what I said? You've even started spying on me? Huh!"
"Crack!"
"Clap!"
With each sound of doors opening, the six people inside the van quickly jumped out, then saluted in unison and shouted:
"Hello, Chief!"
"Hmph, I'm not some leader anymore, you don't need to salute me."
Right! Captain Guan Donglin, Lin Ying, and squad leaders Zhao Yunfei, Duan Hongkang, Meng Xueyi, and Lou Yingying!
The six people were none other than the captain of the Dragon Scale Brigade and the first and second squad leaders, as well as the captain of the Phoenix Feather Brigade and the first and second squad leaders.
Seeing the familiar faces he hadn't seen in a long time, Glenn said with a dark expression:
"Speak! What are you doing here?"
Faced with Glenn's questioning, the six exchanged glances, then Lin Ying stepped forward and explained:
"Reporting to the commander, as instructed above, we are responsible for ensuring your safety at all times and handling any issues that you may find inconvenient to deal with. Therefore, if you have any questions, please let us handle them."
“That’s right, sir.”
The other five echoed this sentiment.
"Tch, looks like those guys still couldn't keep their mouths shut! Speechless!"
After listening to their words, Glenn immediately knew whose fault it was.
But he couldn't blame them, since they were doing it for his own good.
But the thought of his ordinary life being ruined again made Glenn grit his teeth.
Lost in thought, Glenn glanced at the six people before him and could only warn them:
"Alright, you guys can leave! I'm not at the point where I need protection yet, so don't stand here in my way!"
Just when Glenn thought they would agree to evacuate, the usually composed Kanto Rin directly refused:
"I'm sorry, sir, you are currently not holding any official position, so you have no right to interfere with our actions."
"Holy crap, you've got some nerve! Kanto Lin!"
At this moment, Glenn almost lost his temper. This guy was a bit of a hothead! How did he ever think of him and make him the captain of Dragon Scale back then?
Seeing Glenn glaring at them, the other five men broke out in a cold sweat.
At the same time, this sentence popped into my mind.
"You're so brave, Lin from Northeast China!"
Guan Donglin didn't care about any of that. He stared at Glenn with a resolute expression, showing no intention of backing down.
After staring at him for a while, Glenn finally said helplessly:
"Alright! You guys handle it! Just don't bother me."
Glenn knew in his heart that this was the attitude that Chinese soldiers should have, and a commendable quality.
With a wave of his hand, Glenn turned and walked away without looking back.
"Chief, walk slowly."
Six people shouted loudly from behind.
Glenn, standing ahead, was speechless again. Didn't he know this was a neighborhood?
Finally, Glenn walked into the crowd under their watchful eyes.
