After the cold wave passed, the northern base returned to the ground and began to rebuild. Zhou Yan and others set off back to City Z.
The night before leaving, Xihe called Guan Xinxin up, and the two took advantage of the darkness to rearrange a large formation. The spirit stones flowed away from the pockets, and Guan Xinxin twitched with distress: "Is it okay? It's almost done. Bar."
Xihe put in a dozen more high-level spiritual stones to ensure that this formation could last ten or twenty years!
The last top-quality wood spirit stone was placed by her at the eye of the formation. With a click, an oval-shaped formation suddenly appeared in the night sky. Two seconds later, the formation disappeared.
Many people blinked in disbelief: "Is that barrier just now?"
The people next to me didn't see it at all, and looked confused: "Knot, barrier? Really, it won't snow anymore!"
The entire base erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Xihe and Guan Xinxin had successfully retired. When they left, they did not notice that there were two tall and upright figures not far away.
Zhou Yan: "...please ask the company to keep it secret."
Lian Li's eyes were full of surprises: "Did your wife arrange this barrier? Including the one in City Z?"
Zhou Yan wanted not to admit it, but the facts were right in front of him, so he had no choice but to nod: "Yes, but as you can see, the formation is not easy to set up, and the materials required are also unusual. There is nothing she can do about it."
Lian Li nodded: "I understand, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in comrade Guan's ideological work."
Zhou Yan:? ? ?
Lian Li patted him on the shoulder: "You should take credit for this."
Zhou Yan was speechless and made it clear again: "Company, my wife doesn't like to be in the limelight. She just wants to live quietly."
This is why he deliberately followed Nunuo and Guan Xinxin after they found out that they were going out today. He was afraid that they would be discovered accidentally. As a result, he took all precautions. Who expected that he and Lian Li would bump into each other head-on.
He couldn't help but sigh. This coincidence couldn't be more perfect.
Lian Li had just learned such a big news and couldn't help but said: "It should be, it should be, Miss Tan is a great contributor, and we will do everything according to her wishes. But Zhou Yan, you also have to know that such a big news It's impossible to hide this matter..." His eyes told him to be mentally prepared.
Of course Zhou Yan knew this, so he became even more helpless: "Company, please look at the arrangements."
When the matter reached this point, he could only hope that the superiors would consider Nunuo's ability and use gentle methods.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that Nu Nu would be frightened.
Lian Li patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, then I'll report the situation first, and you go back to protect Miss Tan."
Speaking of this, I can't help but feel frightened. Such a big baby has been in his team for so long, but he doesn't know anything about it. He also encountered a pack of wolves on the road. If he is not lucky, he will be fine, but if something happens... His ten lives are not enough to compensate!
"Go quickly!"
I hurriedly pushed Zhou Yan, but nothing could happen to him!
Zhou Yan was speechless and had to hurry back to where he lived.
Xihe and Guan Xinxin didn't know anything about this at this time. They had just finished a big thing. One had a bloodletting, and the other almost bottomed out his spiritual stone. They were both exhausted and didn't want to talk. They fell into autistic isolation in despair. middle.
Not to mention how much shock Lian Li caused after reporting this matter to his superiors, after deliberation, they all decided to protect her secretly and not put too much pressure on the little girl.
"From now on, your mission is to protect Tan Nunuo's safety and be sure to send him back to City Z safely!"
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"
"And the little girl's husband, isn't he under your control? Let him be under your protection 24 hours a day! No mistakes can be made! And the little girl in the family, it's best to protect her as well."
"Yes, leader!"
Lian Li performed a military salute and left with the mission.
After returning to the place where he lived, he called Zhou Yan out and told him the mission. Zhou Yan hurriedly said: "Copy that."
Early the next morning, without Xihe and Guan Xinxin realizing it, the team left as scheduled, but there were more than 20 people traveling with them, all of whom were skilled soldiers. It was said that they were going to City Z to perform a mission.
Xihe had no doubt that he was there and nestled peacefully in her husband's arms, yawning from sleepiness.
Zhou Yan touched her head: "Go to sleep."
Xihe said in a daze: "It's dangerous. You call Gouzi for help."
Zhou Yan: "Okay."
Gouzi: &*&%￥...The above is a complaint about my wronged host.
The return journey was smoother than expected. Apart from the snowstorm and a group of people who were going to City Z along the way, there were almost no disturbances. However, those people were isolated by Lian Li and others and had no chance of contacting Xihe.
Xihe didn't think about it, so he didn't observe it, so he didn't find it.
But the people who asked for protection halfway, as well as the people in the team, more or less felt that something was wrong. Why did the company captain and the new soldiers who joined the team care so much about Zhou Yan's wife?
A small, casual movement can arouse the other party's vigilance.
One time, he was just passing by Miss Tan, and the soldier behind Miss Tan raised his gun.
He had no doubt that once he made any other moves, he would be caught in the next second.
"..."
Although I don’t know why, it’s better not to offend him.
Apart from them, Guan Xinxin felt the deepest feeling. It was not that she noticed something was wrong, but that Lian Li was inexplicably attentive to her.
Guan Xinxin looked horrified. Could it be that Lian Li wanted to touch her waist? Something's wrong, something's wrong!
Lian Li: ...stuffed the warm soy milk into her arms and left.
As soon as he left, Guan Xinxin quickly took out a small mirror. Well, she is still so beautiful! Maybe Lian Li finally fell under her pomegranate skirt?
Can't let such a good opportunity go!
Guan Xinxin only hesitated for a second, and then ran towards Lian Li happily: "Lian Li, wait for me."
Zhou Yan: "..."
I couldn't help but hug my wife tightly.
Seven or eight days later, the car passed through the barrier and drove into City Z.
The others went to settle down, while Xihe returned to the villa and received explosive news that Ji Qing was dead.
Xihe was surprised: "Why did you die suddenly?"
Grandma Tan had a gossipy look on her face: "I heard that she ran away while she was working and ran outside the city. It is said that there were two boys with her. Unexpectedly, she was caught in a cold current and froze into an ice sculpture."
"Not only were the Ji family not worried, they even cursed and said that Ji Qing was an embarrassment to the family."
"It wasn't until the cold snap ended that a team went to the next county to collect supplies. On the way, they saw a car covered in snow. After clearing the snow, they found three people frozen into ice sculptures inside. They were too dead to die."
Xihe: "..."
I really didn't expect that it would be like this.
Grandma Tan snorted coldly: "This means that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that there is no reward, it's that the time has not come yet!"
