Chapter 152: Going Home

Ji Bu pondered for a moment, then nodded his head heavily.

"Fine, you may take those ordinary survivors to the Research Institute for study."

After obtaining the answer he wanted, Pake said slowly, "I believe Councilor Ji Bu makes a very valid point; what we need are soldiers with rich combat experience, not flowers raised in a greenhouse. Besides, I trust Councilor Ji Bu would not truly let the situation Councilor Pu Lie described come to pass; these children certainly still require a certain amount of care to grow."

Watching Pake spout nonsense so brazenly, Pu Lie cursed in a low voice, "You've said all the good things and the bad things!"

In the end, that group of children was left by Ji Bu at the Military District to be trained, in preparation for being taken out of the Settlement Area in two days.

After the meeting ended, Pu Lie left the Meeting Room with a gloomy expression, sidestepping Pake who wanted to shake his hand.

Seeing Pu Lie in this state, Pake was not angry and left the Meeting Room with a smile.

After returning to his office, Pu Lie called Lu Wang over with a gloomy expression.

"Lu Wang, we can only resort to attacking the Settlement Area to seize the items the Master needs. Go down now, assemble 100 men, and prepare to attack the Settlement Area tonight."

After bowing and saluting Pu Lie, Lu Wang, who was wearing a black uniform, spoke.

"Yes, sir, I will arrange it right away."

Following Lu Wang's departure, Pu Lie angrily swept the miscellaneous items off his desk, "Damn Pake, he is as cunning as his father, even more cunning than his father! Once my Master descends upon the Ninth Defense Zone, I will surely tear him into ten thousand pieces!"

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

Last night, Yingzhou chatted with Nie Hao and the others about many things he had encountered in the Fourth Defense Zone, and in the end, Nie Hao even said to Yingzhou.

"Yingzhou, even if Chief Ji Bu hadn't given you leave, I was prepared to give you leave! You can go home tomorrow; you haven't been home for so long, it's time to go back and take a look!"

Thus, the next day, after finishing Gathering Spiritual Power, Yingzhou went to ask Legion Commander Nie Hao for leave, but it turned out Legion Commander Nie Hao was not there; however, Hu Jie indicated that Nie Hao had already processed Yingzhou's leave early that morning, and Yingzhou could just leave directly.

Yingzhou stepped off the Transport Aircraft, and after confirming his location, walked in the direction of his home according to the route in his memory.

Along the way, the people around were all looking at Yingzhou, all sighing at Yingzhou's tall and strong physique.

"Is this the height a normal person should have?"

"He is as tall as two stories; that's too outrageous!"

"Is he a soldier from the military? What is he doing coming to our Xizhou District?"

"I heard that family, the one that produced two Psionics, the eldest son seems to be getting married today; could he be here to find him?"

"It's possible, it's a pity for the second son of that family; he died before he could even go to the military."

"Oh my, that is truly miserable!"

Yingzhou ignored the people talking around him, and when he walked to the familiar residential building of his home, he discovered an awkward problem.

His body was too large, resulting in him now being unable to even return home.

"Oh dear, how did I forget about this? What do I do now? I can't even get back home!"

Yingzhou rubbed his hair in some distress, looked up at the second floor where his home was, and nodded thoughtfully, "It seems I can only knock on the window!"

Yingzhou raised his right hand high and knocked lightly on his home's window.

With the sound of glass shattering, Yingzhou froze completely.

Huh? This... he had already tried hard to control his strength, so how did this situation still happen? It must be that the glass quality was too poor, yes! It must be that!

The sound of the glass shattering drew the attention of some neighbors who had just finished the night shift.

These residents opened their windows and poked their heads out to check, only to find a giant about 2.7 meters tall standing in front of their residential building, his right hand held high, giving people the feeling that he could slap them, these ordinary people, away with one palm.

But seeing the military uniform on Yingzhou, these residents did not scream; after all, they were from the Military District, so they surely wouldn't hurt them.

Seeing that quite a few people were looking at him, coupled with the embarrassing scene just now, Yingzhou felt like he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes. Sigh, it actually seems possible!

At this moment, Yingzhou heard his mother's voice, "What's going on? Why did the glass break?"

Yingzhou looked at the window full of anticipation, only to see his mother, who already had some gray hair, looking out from the window and seeing a 2.7-meter-tall giant with his right hand held high; the glass from just now must have been broken by him.

"Mom, you are still... Mom! What's wrong with you?"

Yingzhou revealed a faint smile, and just as he was about to greet his mother, he saw Mother Ying's eyes roll back, and she fainted.

This... left Yingzhou very helpless; he didn't do it on purpose, did he?

A hurried shout soon came from inside the room, "Mom! What's wrong with you! Why did you faint?"

Upon hearing this, Yingzhou knew it was his eldest brother's voice; withdrawing his right hand, Yingzhou called out inside, feeling both amused and annoyed.

"Big Brother! It's me, Mom seems to have been scared fainted by me."

"Yingzhou?" Yingfang looked out from the broken window and saw a scene that left him both amused and annoyed; his younger brother's height was now equivalent to the height of one floor of the residential building, and raising his right hand was just enough to reach their window.

"Why are you back? Didn't you go to the Fourth Defense Zone to carry out a Task?" Yingfang looked at Yingzhou with some confusion and asked.

"My Task ended, the Military District gave me a few days of leave, so I thought I'd come back to take a look; who knew this would happen." Yingzhou shrugged helplessly and said.

"You wait outside for a moment, I have to put Mom on a chair." As Yingfang said this, he left the window and cleaned up the glass Yingzhou had just broken.

At this, the onlookers around were all stunned.

What? This is Yingzhou? How did that thin and weak young man in their memory turn into this appearance now? This is simply like a different person!

Yingfang soon walked out; he was wearing casual home clothes, the loose clothing covering the muscles on Yingfang's body, and the beard on his face was also rarely shaved clean.

"Is Mom okay? Do you want me to send someone up to check on Mom's health?" Seeing Yingfang walk down alone, Yingzhou asked with some worry.

"It's fine, Mom has already woken up, she was just a bit emotionally agitated, she'll recover in a moment. I clearly told Mom that you were still alive, but Mom thought I was comforting her." Yingfang said, looking at Yingzhou's height, and couldn't help but ask.

"You kid, how are you getting taller and taller? I even feel like we aren't the same species anymore!"

"It's alright, isn't it? But Big Brother, I heard you are getting married? When is that happening?" Yingzhou took off the military cap on his head and said to Yingfang with a smile.
