As soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, Lieutenant General Lu looked at him in surprise. After a long while, he asked uncertainly:
"You...what did you just say?"
Lu Yan spoke firmly and repeated:
"I said we were going to get married."
"Oh... get married..." His expression was a little dull, and he repeated it slowly. After a long while, he seemed to suddenly react and said with some excitement:
"It's good to get married, it's good to get married. When you get married, you have a family. You don't have to be alone in the future..."
He seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were a little moist, and he continued:
"I feel relieved to see that you are well, and your parents will also be happy."
This was the first time that Lu Yan saw his uncle showing his emotions so openly. In his impression, he was always cold, taciturn and dignified, making it difficult for people to get close to him.
Lieutenant General Lu looked at Mu Tang again, his eyes obviously changed, and there was a hint of "kindness" in his cold eyes.
He twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, tried to show a "kind" smile, and asked Mu Tang unskilledly:
"How old is the little girl? She lives at home..."
He wanted to ask where his family lived, but suddenly he remembered that in the end of the world, most people have left their homes to escape. It seemed inappropriate to ask, so he changed his mind:
"Your parents..." Are you okay?
He didn't say the last three words, because he found that it seemed even more inappropriate to ask this question now.
The room fell silent for a moment, and the most powerful person in the base was visibly embarrassed.
Lieutenant General Lu himself is a person who is not good at words, and his status makes him rarely chat with others.
Lu Yan is his only junior, and he is the successor who was raised by his parents. Now he brings his beloved girl to see him.
Rao was Lieutenant General Lu and couldn't help but become a little nervous.
When he discovered that the "standard questioning template" used by elders to question younger ones before the end of the world was no longer applicable, Lieutenant General Lu didn't know what to say.
But Mu Tang only saw the elder in front of him pulling at the corners of his mouth uncomfortably, forcing an invisible "smile", which seemed very laborious.
After thinking about it, she said in a considerate way:
"Don't force yourself so much."
Lu Zhongjiang's expression went blank for a moment, and before he could react, he heard Mu Tang speaking openly:
"I had some health problems before, and I can't remember anything else except my name. Since Lu Yan picked me up, we have been together!"
Lieutenant General Lu nodded blankly.
Lu Yan laughed out loud, lowered his head and rubbed Mu Tang's hair. When he looked up, his expression had become serious:
"Lieutenant General, I would like to ask you, the purpose of the people in Shanglan Base is unclear, and they are likely to cause losses to the base, why should they be left alone?"
The change of title means that Lu Yan is asking his superiors as a soldier. He hopes that Lieutenant General Lu will give objective reasons and not avoid the question.
Lieutenant General Lu had known that Lu Yan would ask, so he was not surprised. He just walked to the window, looked at the busy soldiers outside the window, and the survivors sitting on the ground not far away with numb faces, and sighed:
"Lu Yan, there is not much space left for human beings to survive. Not everyone has superpowers and can survive in this cruel world. I must make plans for those who are unable to protect themselves. This is my responsibility. .”
"Once we take action against Shanglan's people, even if we just put them under supervision, it means directly falling out with Shanglan."
Lieutenant General Lu smiled bitterly as he spoke, and looked at Lu Yan's thoughtful face:
"First, Tongcheng's ammunition reserves have bottomed out, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. We can't even defend against the zombies, and it's extremely difficult. We don't have any more energy to deal with Shang Lan's stabbing in the back."
"Secondly, this is what I least want to see."
When he said this, he paused and looked a little tired:
"If...I mean if, the Tongcheng base is lost, I hope the survivors will at least have a place to go."
Lu Yan lowered his head and pondered. After a while, he raised his head and asked the last question:
"Shanglan Base has done too many tricks. How can you guarantee that they will not stab us in the back and will take in the survivors after the Tongcheng Base falls?"
Lieutenant General Lu shook his head and said without any hesitation:
"I can't guarantee that, it's hard to guarantee."
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows but said nothing. He looked into Lieutenant General Lu's firm eyes and heard him say:
"But I would rather choose superficial peace than being an enemy on the surface. At least they can take it into consideration, right?"
Lu Yan took a breath and did not continue to ask questions.
Lieutenant General Lu's reasons had successfully convinced him, but he did not consider the problem from the level of Lieutenant General Lu.
People in power who care about the common people often need to think about more problems and be more controlled by others. Even if they are roasted on the fire, they must suppress the pain in their mouths and face the pain with calmness and calmness. Lieutenant General Lu is an example.
Lieutenant General Lu came over, patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, and handed him the information he had just taken out from the inner room and put on the table:
"Take it and take a look. This information was originally prepared for you."
Lu Yan took the folder, opened it, glanced at it, and asked:
"what are these?"
Lieutenant General Lu replied:
"Currently, the Tongcheng base can master all the information on the investigation of the causes of the apocalypse, as well as the research results on supernatural powers and individual high-level zombies."
Lu Yan was refreshed. The research results of high-level zombies? ! Does that mean we can find some information about Mu Tang?
Lu Yan immediately calmed down, lowered his head, and looked at the information in the folder one by one.
Lieutenant General Lu stood beside him, looking him up and down, with a trace of relief in his eyes.
He and this nephew had not seen each other for a long time, and he was worried about his safety when the end of the world came.
After several thoughts, he finally violated his own rules for the first time and mixed selfishness with his official duties. He told the soldiers who went out to perform the mission that he hoped they could help him find Lu Yan within their capabilities.
I had given up hope for a long time, but I didn't expect that the young boy back then could still stand in front of me with all his abilities.
I was lost in thought when my sleeve was suddenly pulled!
Lieutenant General Lu turned his head and looked at Mu Tang with a flattering and naive smile, and then heard her ask:
"Uncle, do you have that?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand, curled her index finger and thumb, brought her fingertips close together, and looked at Lieutenant General Lu with a "you know" look.
