After visiting Qin Zhen, the two of them prepared to return to their place of residence.
Mu Tang was a little uneasy along the way and looked at Lu Yan several times without speaking.
Lu Yan secretly observed the expression on her face and waited calmly for the little girl to speak.
Mu Tang recalled Qi Yang's words.
Qi Yang stuffed Lu Yan into the room and said to her:
"I never had time to formally thank you. If it weren't for your mud, we might have suffered more casualties this time."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Tang immediately became happy, with a happy expression on his face.
Qi Yang continued:
"The soldiers in the army are very grateful to it. They gathered some crystals and asked me to pass them on to you. They will be delivered to your yard later."
Mu Tang would not be polite about this, it was Niba's sacrifice to get it back. She had no reason to refuse, but she could say "thank you" to them on Niba's behalf.
Qi Yang smiled and shook his head:
"this is what we are supposed to do."
As he said something, he suddenly thought of something and said with a smile:
"The Lieutenant General said that although Mudba is too big, we can't let it move freely in the base, but we can let you out at night and it can run around the outside of the base."
"Don't worry, we have cleared the perimeter of the base. Although a few zombies will occasionally come in, it shouldn't be a big problem for you."
Mu Tang's eyes lit up. Niba had been locked in the yard and was feeling a little depressed. It would be best if he could move around.
Qi Yang spoke of Lieutenant General Lu with respect and sincere happiness on his face:
"The Lieutenant General has always been worried about Lu Yan's safety. He used to stay up all night long. After the end of the world, he was worried too much. His health is not as good as before, and he often suffers from minor illnesses. We are all worried about him. He is fine now. Lu Yan is back. Now, Lieutenant General can rest assured and focus on taking good care of his body."
Mu Tang's heart moved and she asked proactively:
"I find that you all seem to be very willing to listen to Lu Yan. Why?"
She was curious from the beginning. Lu Yan clearly didn't know Qi Yang, so why Qi Yang could even temporarily hand over the army to him.
Qi Yang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Mu Tang to ask this, and suddenly laughed, with admiration in his tone:
"The name 'Lu Yan' is very popular among us, not only because of the Lieutenant General, he has countless achievements and contributions, but also because he is a famous sniper in the army, and Qin Zhen is very fond of him. He's always full of praise, and there's no one in our base who hasn't heard of his name."
When he said this, he also had a bit of embarrassment on his face:
"Actually, before I met him, I always thought that Qin Zhen exaggerated him. No one can be perfect. After meeting him, I felt that Qin Zhen was right."
Mu Tang seemed to understand, and Qi Yang finally said:
"Anyway, everyone admires him. In the next two days, I would like to ask him to come to the army to boost morale. There have been too many things recently and everyone is very tired. It should be happier to see my idol."
Qi Yang left after saying this, but Mu Tang could not calm down for a long time.
She longed to have a family. Lu Yan was her family, but he was also someone else's family.
Although Lu Yan always said it didn't matter, she still couldn't let go.
Lu Yan belongs here, he is a human being, there is Lieutenant General Lu who worries about him day and night, there are friends who stand up for him, and there are soldiers who respect him.
Lieutenant General Lu is in very poor health. His biggest wish is that Lu Yan can stay by his side. Once Lu Yan leaves, will he be as frightened as before, afraid that his only blood relative will die unexpectedly?
Would she really be so selfish as to ask Lu Yan to leave behind these important things, leave the base with her, and live the same wandering life as before?
If something happens to Lieutenant General Lu, will Lu Yan blame himself for the rest of his life?
After leaving the base, where can they go?
Mu Tang depressedly grabbed Lu Yan, hugged his waist tightly, and buried her face in his arms.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a survivor passing by with a child on his back, and he said angrily:
"I can't walk anymore, please carry me."
Lu Yan smiled fondly, and without asking why, he lowered his waist and motioned for her to jump up.
Mu Tang was not polite and lay on Lu Yan's back.
She was very light, and Lu Yan had no problem carrying her. He could carry her up easily.
As the two of them walked back, there were always people who couldn't help but look back at them.
Mu Tang finally noticed, lay on Lu Yan's back and shook his legs, buried his face in Lu Yan's neck, and asked softly:
"Aren't you afraid that people will see you and laugh at you?"
Lu Yan chuckled, his voice full of laughter and indulgence:
"I just remembered to ask now, is it a little late?"
Mu Tang snorted angrily, reached out and patted his shoulder, saying arrogantly:
"Then I don't care, I want you to carry me!"
"Okay, I will always carry you." Lu Yan nodded.
Mu Tang raised her lips and narrowed her eyes with a smile, hugged Lu Yan's neck tightly, put her face against Lu Yan's, and whispered:
"Then you have to stay with me~"
After hearing these words, Lu Yan only felt his heart itch and his whole heart felt warm. His usually smooth voice had a little tremor:
"Of course, I said, I will always be by your side."
Mu Tang was satisfied, turned her head, kissed Lu Yan's cheek, and then whispered:
"Lu Yan, let's stay in the base for a while."
Lu Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, he stopped and said in surprise:
"Why do you suddenly want to stay again? Did Qi Yang tell you anything?"
Mu Tang hugged Lu Yan's shoulders tightly and shook her head:
"No, but didn't we say it before? If I feel unhappy, let's leave again. I'm quite happy now."
She was indeed very happy. If she didn't come into contact with the survivors, the soldiers in the base had no ill intentions towards her and Niba. There were also Qin Town Yan Mingxu, Ren Yu and Wanwan, who were all her friends.
Mu Tang felt that she had nothing to feel wronged about. The most important thing was that this was Lu Yan's home.
Lu Yan was good to her and had been sacrificing for her. Of course she couldn't just enjoy it with peace of mind and then let him continue to sacrifice for her.
She also wants to be nice to Lu Yan.
Besides, just staying here is not much of a sacrifice for her.
She can still eat delicious food and be with friends, and Qi Yang has promised her, so Niba doesn't have to be locked in the yard all the time.
She was already very satisfied.
"Lu Yan, I just didn't get used to it at the beginning. Now I'm much better. We can stay here for a while. Besides, my uncle hasn't given me the candy he promised me yet. I have to wait for him to give it to me before leaving. "
Lu Yan was originally just worried about what Qi Yang said to the little girl, causing her to make some unhappy decisions through compromise.
As a result, my heavy heart suddenly disappeared after hearing these words, leaving only laughter and tears.
