Chapter 178: Visit (Part 1)

Soon the door was opened, and a middle-aged woman with a vicissitudes of life and dull eyes opened the door. She looked at Su Bai in confusion.

"Who are you?"

"I am Chen Wu's friend." Su Bai said heavily.

Hearing Su Bai's words, the middle-aged woman's eyes were slightly red, and then she spoke.

"Come in."

Su Bai followed him in. The whole house was simply decorated, with almost no furniture. And Su Bai could see that the few furnitures were also used for years.

"Sit down first, I'll pour you a glass of water."

"No, thank you so much." Su Bai replied hurriedly.

"It's okay." After saying that, the middle-aged woman walked towards the kitchen.

Su Bai stood in the living room. At this time, he saw the black and white photo frame of Chen Wu in the corner, and an urn. Su Bai walked over and saluted Chen Wu's portrait.

At this time, the middle-aged woman came over and squeezed out a smile.

"Have a glass of water."

Su Bai hurriedly took it.

"Thank you."

"I don't think I've seen you before. Are you Lao Chen's new team member? In fact, many of Lao Chen's comrades are gone." The middle-aged woman said with a choked voice.

"Sister-in-law, please accept my condolences." Su Bai hurriedly comforted her.

"It's over. In fact, I'm used to it. Every year I accompany him to see off his brothers, and every time I worry whether it will be my turn one day. I didn't expect it to really happen. I really didn't expect it to happen so quickly and suddenly." The middle-aged woman in front of him gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and continued: "I'm trying to convince myself to accept this every day. You are Chen Wu's friend, you are still young, and you must take care of yourself in the future."

For a moment, Su Bai didn't know how to reply to Mrs. Chen. He felt that whatever he said was wrong, and he was also afraid of touching the other party's wound that could not scab.

After struggling for a while, Su Bai asked.

"Hasn't the pension for Chen Wu been paid? Why haven't you exchanged anything for it? These items in the house have indeed accompanied you and Chen Wu for many years, but we still have to look forward."

"Yes, General Zhang Lengyue is a good man. The pension was paid a long time ago, but I only have one daughter, and I'm working now. I can't use so much myself, so I sent some to Chen Wu's other brothers. I think this is what Old Chen meant."

Su Bai knew that this was because Mrs. Chen could no longer touch her former partner with love, so she wanted to create a lifetime of unforgettable thoughts to remember him. When he thought of this, Su Bai's heart was even more painful.

After a long silence, Su Bai picked up a box and handed it to Mrs. Chen.

"This is what Chen Wu wanted to leave for you."

Hearing Su Bai's words, the middle-aged woman in front of him, her lips trembled a little, stretched out her trembling hand to take it, and replied with a forced smile.

"Thank you."

(Note: Soldiers who died in the Hetu base had a high probability of being infected with a foreign radiation virus, so their bodies were handled uniformly. Basically, no relics would be left.)

Su Bai saluted and said.

"I'm leaving. Please take good care of yourself. If you have any trouble in the future, you can always come to me. My contact information is in the box."

"I'm already very grateful to you. How dare I bother you again." Mrs. Chen shook her head and replied.

"Please don't say that. Be sure to take care of yourself."

After that, Su Bai turned and left.

Chen Wu's wife did not send Su Bai away, but opened the box tremblingly.

There was a lieutenant medal, a card, and a note in the box.

Looking at the medal, the middle-aged woman in front of him sat down on the ground weakly, covering her mouth and crying loudly.

Walking on the street, Su Bai was still in a very heavy mood, not much relieved. He stretched out his hand to stop a flying car.

"Go to Area C1."

He wanted to send a card to Wang Qi, but in order to ensure that he would not disturb his family's life and ensure that the card was delivered, Su Bai had to go there in person. In any case, although he and Wang Qi had only met once, he would have died without him. He had no ability to repay him before, but this time he had more money, and he had to do everything he wanted to do, so that he would not have any regrets in the future.

——

Late in the evening, Su Bai dragged his tired body and walked in the academy. He didn't do anything today, but he felt very tired, as if he had just gone through a war. It was not just tiredness, but the whole person's spirit was very depressed. From time to time, his mind recalled the sad faces of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Wang when he met them.

At this time, Su Bai was more convinced of a sentence: if you want to avoid losing anything in troubled times, you must become stronger and cut off all the sources of trouble.

Su Bai walked to the vending machine next to him, bought a bottle of drink directly, and then found a seat to sit down.

He opened the bottle cap and drank it all, leaned against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

Su Bai closed his eyes and rested for a while, feeling much more comfortable. At this moment, he heard some passing students chatting indignantly.

"The people of the Kimik Empire are such bastards. When they were attacked before, they acted like their fathers had died. Now that they have attacked back, they are so arrogant that they post messages every day to mock us."

"I am so angry that my lungs are about to explode!"

"That's right! If I had the strength of the "Fuck" God, I would definitely beat them up so hard that they wouldn't even recognize me. Who are I being so arrogant to?"

"I tell you, I cursed them all night on the World Forum last night!"

"I heard about a big event."

"What big event? Tell me!"

"I heard that the two sides are now arguing for a fight, and the great god called "Fuck" has agreed to the fight."

"Is this true?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Then we must support them and beat them up! What's so great about that?"

Su Bai, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and coughed violently. What the hell is going on? When did he agree to the fight? Who agreed for him?

Su Bai hurriedly opened his bracelet and began to search for information about the World Forum.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but when he did, Su Bai was dumbfounded. This public platform was originally intended to facilitate communication and information transmission between countries, but now it has become a war zone for keyboard warriors, and the entire forum is full of saliva posts from two countries!

And I don't know which idiot initiated the challenge! More importantly! Countless Longxia people named Ri jumped out and accepted the challenge on his behalf!

Su Bai, who was in a better mood, almost vomited blood.

Is it really not a big deal?

Su Bai slapped himself in the face, forget it, forget it, don't look at it, don't look at it, the more I look at it, the more upset I feel, just take everything as it comes.

Su Bai stood up and stretched, and walked towards the company. When Su Bai walked to the company, the whole company had quietly left work.

And recently, due to the large-scale construction of the factory, Yun Yu and others were basically there, and there were not many people in the company.

Su Bai didn't think too much about it. He opened the company's door and walked in. It was better if there was no one around. He was just going to lie down here for a while. He walked into his office. As soon as he entered, the little guy jumped off Su Bai's chest and landed directly on the potted plant, hugging the stone on it.

Su Bai shook his head helplessly. He couldn't understand why this guy liked this potted plant so much. Every time he brought it to the office, it would jump on it and not leave. It made him have to pull it for a long time every time, just like pulling a piece of sticky candy.
