Chapter 241 - 241 A Warm Welcome

241 A Warm Welcome

“It involves national security. How can I not come?

“Ah, you must be Researcher Liu!

“I’ve already heard about the results of your research.

“Thank you for your contribution to the country and the world!”

Lin Liye saluted Liu Shiyao.

Zhang Guozhu and the others also turned to Liu Shiyao and saluted.

Liu Shiyao was a little embarrassed by such a solemn show of thanks.

“This must be…”

Lin Liye immediately looked at Wang Ran.

“Captain Lin, he’s not who you think he is…”

Zhang Guozhu reminded him awkwardly.

He knew that Lin Liye must have mistook Wang Ran for Wu Jianguo, just like his squad.

“You’re not?”

Lin Liye carefully sized up Wang Ran.

Indeed, the name Wu Jianguo was a little old-fashioned, unlike the name of a young man in his twenties.

“This is Wang Ran. He’s the current leader of N-City,” Liu Shiyao introduced him.

“Wang Ran…

“Great, China is full of talents!”

“From the looks of it, N-City has already built a city-level survivor camp like the government, right?” Lin Liye asked.

“That’s right.

“The swarm from the west will arrive in a week.

“The government is ready for it, right?” Wang Ran asked.

“It’s indeed quite a headache.

“Based on our drone footage, they might split into two groups upon reaching the Yangtze river.

“One group is heading north and directly slaughtering their way to us.

“The other group… may pass through N-City.

“The southern defense will be up to you guys!” Lin Liye said earnestly.

Currently, the government doesn’t have the manpower and resources to spare for other cities.

Therefore, the survivors in the other cities can only rely on themselves for the time being…

“Don’t worry about the south. I’ll take care of it,” Wang Ran said indifferently.

Lin Liye was stunned.

This young man was quite boastful…

However, he was very strong, so he may simply be confident in his strength.

“Alright, I have to hurry back.

“Mr. Wang Ran, if you have time, do drop by for a visit,” Lin Liye said courteously.

‘I won’t be going all the way to the capital. I’m a lazy person. I like to stay at home when I have nothing to do.’

Wang Ran shrugged noncommittally.

If he went to the capital and got infected by their patriotism, he might even end up as a lapdog. It wasn’t worth it.

It was better to stay at home.

“Alright, we’ll take our leave first.”

Lin Liye and Liu Shiyao also greeted each other and walked toward the plane with Zhang Guozhu and the others.

Lin Liye suddenly stopped after taking two steps.

“Not good, there’s a large group of zombies!”

Lin Liye frowned.

As expected, numerous zombies rushed in from all directions. There were at least 2,000 to 3,000 of them.

Lin Liye had not come in a helicopter, so he could not take off vertically.

With so many zombies around, they wouldn’t have the time to accelerate on the runway.

“Captain Lin, what do we do now?” Zhang Guozhu asked nervously.

“There’s only one way, and that is to take the Black Hawk with us.

“There should be a plane at the airport in N-City that can take you back,” Wang Ran suggested.

“Alright, let’s do that!

“Xiaosun, come here!”

Lin Liye nodded and immediately called for his pilot.

The pilot decisively kicked through the windshield and jumped off the plane to run to the Black Hawk.

Everyone quickly got on the helicopter.

Xiaosun, who was at the back, also grabbed onto the helicopter frame and jumped into it.

The Black Hawk quickly took off.

Below them, the entire runway was filled with zombies.

They wantonly destroyed the docked planes to vent their anger.

From the looks of it, they would not be leaving any planes intect.

The Black Hawk sped up and flew towards the south…

At N-City’s airport.

Wu Jianguo led Zhu Ming and the others to refuel the plane.

“Captain Wu, Lin Liye is really here.

“Are you excited?” Zhu Ming asked with a faint smile.

“Excited, my ass!

“I’m not into men!”

Wu Jianguo glared at Zhu Ming.

“Come on, Captain Wu! He’s a big figure!

“Shouldn’t we exchange pointers when we meet?

“I heard that Lin Liye is already on the way to becoming a rank-seven Awakened. Captain Wu, are you nervous?”

Zhu Ming laughed slyly.

“Just keep moving! Watch the gas truck!

“The boss has ordered us to be ready before they land.

“If there are any delays, you’ll have to be prepared to take the blame,” Wu Jianguo said in an unpleasant tone.

However, he was a little depressed.

Lin Liye was about to reach rank-seven, but he was still at rank-five.

How embarrassing!

Wu Jianguo decided to push himself harder after they’ve taken care of the million zombies.

He would also train himself while searching for resources.

After a while, the sound of a helicopter came from the north.

“They’re here.

“Line up!” Wu Jianguo ordered.

More than a dozen underlings were divided into two rows, holding colored balls in their hands, waiting for the helicopter to land.

“Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!”

As soon as the helicopter landed, the two rows of underlings began to wave the pom-poms in their hands.

The atmosphere was unusually lively and… awkward.

Wang Ran’s face twitched after he jumped off the helicopter.

‘I told you to prepare a warm welcome for them, and this is it?

‘You must be joking!

‘How embarrassing!’

Wang Ran glared at Wu Jianguo.

Wu Jianguo thought that Wang Ran was blaming him for not working hard enough, so he personally joined the cheering team.

Wang Ran covered his face in shame.

It was too embarassing. Sigh…

“Wang Ran, the atmosphere in N-City… I can feel the enthusiasm.”

Lin liye did not know how to describe it.

“It’s alright…”

“Do you guys want to stay for a meal before leaving?” Wang Ran said courteously.

“You’re too kind. We still have to rush back to defend the line.

“I didn’t come here in vain after getting to know you, Wang Ran.

“It would be even better if I could meet the legendary Wu Jianguo.”

Lin Liye sighed.

The underlings at the side all turned their gazes to Wu Jianguo, who was holding a pair of pom-poms.

Wu Jianguo blushed and immediately threw the pom-poms behind him.

“That… I’m Wu Jianguo,” Wu Jianguo answered in a deep voice.

“Oh?”

Lin Liye’s eyes lit up.

He had been too shocked to take a closer look.

Without the pom-poms, Wu Jianguo did carry himself well.

As expected of an expert who was as famous as him.

“You’re Wu Jianguo!

“Come, come, come, take a picture with me!

“Captain Lin, let’s take a photo together!

“Let’s take a photo together. I’m going to brag about it when I get back!” the team members behind Lin Liye said excitedly.

Although they all knew that Wu Jianguo was Wang Ran’s underling, the other people in the government didn’t know this.

What could be more impressive than taking a photo with Lin Liye and Wu Jianguo at the same time?
