Lu Jianguo lowered his voice and said, "How could I not know? Do you think I don't want Qingqing to come back? If you leave the base now, do you know what will happen? Is the situation that has finally stabilized going to be disrupted because of our family affairs?"

"We must now rest and recuperate. Before the problem of sustainable food production is solved, no accidents can happen!"

After Lu Jianguo said these words, he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and even his back was bent a lot.

Putting aside those identities, he is just an ordinary father.

Ever since his youngest daughter went missing, he has been in deep self-blame. Whenever his wife was sad over the years, he could only swallow the pain in his heart because he knew that as the head of the family, he had the responsibility on his shoulders.

If his wife knew about his decision now, she might hate and blame himself, but as a soldier himself, he believed that his wife would understand him. If they did not continue to move forward resolutely, the country and people behind them would face even more difficulties and hardships.

From the day he became a soldier, he was ready to sacrifice and contribute, and he has no regrets.

As the leader of City B and the decision maker on various matters, his son has his own responsibilities just like himself.

Lu Jianguo looked at his son guiltily, then lowered his head.

He knew that he had lived up to his country and his people in his life, but he felt deeply indebted to his family and his children.

Xu Hean looked at the two people in front of him and said calmly: "I will go to T City. It's decided. I will also bring Qingqing back."

Lu Jianguo and Lu Ming both refused at the same time: "No."

"No, He An, this is none of your business. The fact that you can tell us this information already means that... you already have your own little family now, not the one back then..."

Xu Hean interrupted Lu Jianguo and said, "Uncle Lu, Qingqing disappeared because of that incident. Even if you don't want me to get involved, I will never get over this matter. This is my responsibility and my obligation. I am not only doing this for you, but also for those who sacrificed their lives because of that incident. I hope that one day in the future, their names will be respected by the world. They are the heroes of the country."

Lu Jianguo stood up, somewhat unsteadily, walked to Xu Hean, and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"Okay, then let's do as you say. If you need any manpower, just assign them directly. Lu Ming will also fully cooperate with you."

Xu Hean nodded: "I just need someone to pick me up at the end. Nan Yi and I can handle the front part. We will set off tomorrow in two days. Lu Ming, you arrange people to enter T City on time in two days to clean up those wandering zombies together. Also, arrange people in advance to take over the security base. No other needs."

"Do we really not need to arrange for someone to go with you?" Lu Jianguo asked with some concern.

Xu Hean shook his head: "No, too many people would easily alert the enemy. If I'm not sure, I won't speak."

Lu Ming and Lu Jianguo nodded in unison and didn't say anything else. They believed in Xu Hean 100% and knew that Xu Hean would not do anything without certainty.

After this matter was over, Xu Hean looked at the dark sky outside and took the initiative to ask Lu Ming: "Do you feel that the weather has started to be abnormal recently?"

Lu Ming looked up at Xu Hean in surprise: "You've also noticed, right? It's getting dark earlier and earlier recently, but according to the season, this is impossible!"

Being able to sit in Lu Jianguo's position, he did have some observation and alertness, and he also spoke with concern.

"I don't know what will happen next, but the current situation cannot allow anything worse to happen."

Xu Hean looked at Lu Ming and whispered two words: "Polar Night."

Lu Ming suddenly realized, sat down and murmured: "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier. If it is polar night, then the originally maintained order will be threatened again. I... I have to arrange some things as soon as possible."

Lu Jianguo stopped Lu Ming who was about to stand up and said, "It's late today. We will be busy tomorrow. We haven't had dinner yet. Let's eat first."

At this time, Mrs. Lu and Zhi Nanyi also came down from the stairs. Zhi Nanyi also confirmed with Xu He'an that the matter was finished before bringing people down.

Mrs. Lu specially prepared a hot pot tonight to welcome Xu Hean and Zhi Nanyi. The couple started preparing it in the afternoon. Although the dishes are very simple, they are already considered the best in the apocalypse.

Mrs. Lu felt refreshed at the moment and was busy asking everyone to sit down. Zhi Nanyi followed her into the kitchen and quietly took out a lot of hot pot ingredients when Mrs. Lu was not paying attention. Mrs. Lu knew what was going on at a glance, but did not ask anything.

The father and son of the Lu family were stunned at first when they saw the marbling beef rolls and washed vegetables, but they quickly understood. They also tacitly asked nothing and said nothing, as if these things were supposed to be here.

At this moment, it was as if the end of the world had never happened. The family sat together, eating hot pot, drinking wine, and living a leisurely and happy life.

......

When Lu Jianguo went to bed at night, he was pulled up again by Mrs. Lu as soon as he lay down.

Seeing the serious look in Mrs. Lu's eyes, Lu Jianguo knew that he could no longer hide Lu Qingqing's affairs from her.

When she learned that Xu He'an had offered to go to T City to bring Lu Qingqing back, Mrs. Lu frowned and sighed, "If this continues, we will owe He'an more and more. If He'an hadn't dragged Lu Ming back and stood behind our family, we wouldn't be here today."

"And Nan Yi, he's also a good kid. Fortunately, He An is living a happy life, otherwise I would feel even more guilty."

Lu Jianguo gently patted his wife's back and comforted her, "Maybe this is the fate between our family and Xu boy. Don't worry, the Lu family will do its best to protect Xu boy and Nan Yi in the future, whether they need it or not."

The old couple tacitly agreed not to talk about Zhi Nanyi's outstanding qualities. Some things were enough to be known in person, and the protection could be left to them behind the scenes.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. The three people in the Lu family did not sleep well. Worry, expectation, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined.

However, Xu Hean, who had not eaten meat for a long time, was contentedly hugging his wife and slept until dawn.
