Li Xuanyuan was indifferent to that person, Xuanyuan Hui and that person were both used to it and didn't think it was a problem.
But when Li Xuanyuan stretched out his hand to pull Hou Ying to sit on the single sofa with him, Hou Ying sharply saw the change in the man's eyes. He didn't know if he was overthinking, his smiling face didn't change, he just put his hand on Li Xuanyuan's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Mom, if you don't introduce me, I don't even know what to call you. "
This time, Hou Ying was sure that she saw the astonishment in the man's eyes right.
Xuanyuan Hui introduced each other with a smile. This young man is Xuanyuan Yu, Xuanyuanhui's adopted brother, the son of her mother's adopted son.
"Xiao Li, your uncle sacrificed himself to protect us, and this child Xiao Yu refuses to live with us. You have to take care of him more in the future. He is also your brother, you know?"
"Auntie, I—"
"I see."
Li Xuanyuan interrupted what Xuanyuan Yu wanted to say, and without giving Xuanyuan Yu another chance to speak, he asked, "Where are Hou Li and the others?"
Knowing that Li Hou was sleeping in the room and Wang Hehe was teaching Meng Hanghai's homework, Li Xuanyuan got up and planned to visit the child. He pressed Hou Ying's shoulder and gave him a look, and said, "Accompany my mother to treat me."
Hou Ying laughed meaningfully.
Xuanyuan Yu has a sweet mouth, which makes Xuanyuan Hui like him very much. Perhaps it was because of watching Xuanyuan Yu grow up, or maybe it was because of Xuanyuan Yu's father, Xuanyuan Hui was very tolerant to him. When she heard that he wanted ten second-level crystal nuclei to buy something, she didn't even ask him what he bought. He happily took the crystal nucleus and gave it to him.
Hou Ying is familiar with people's hearts. When Xuanyuanhui got up to go to the warehouse, although Xuanyuanyu still chatted and laughed with him about how he and Li Xuanyuan met, Hou Ying could clearly hear the perfunctory in his tone, and saw that there was something in his expression. relax.
This should be because he thought that Xuanyuan Hui didn't let him touch the Xuanyuan family's crystal nucleus.
Hou Ying felt a little unhappy, but he didn't show it at all due to his morality. Instead, Xuanyuanyu took advantage of the situation and said a lot of "what happened to me and Xiao Li when we were young".
Xuanyuan Yu stayed for lunch and left with the secondary crystal nucleus.
Xuanyuanhui's smile faded, and she looked at Li Xuanyuan helplessly: "Xiao Li, for the sake of his father and me, can you treat him better?"
"It can't be done."
After Li Xuanyuan finished speaking, he immediately said: "Mom, Xuanyuan and I are still busy, so let's go first."
As she said that, she went to the crystal core warehouse. Hou Ying couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to talk to Xuanyuan Hui about Li Hou's waking up to nurse and take care of her, which successfully diverted Xuanyuan Hui's attention.
After catching up with Li Xuanyuan, the two entered the storeroom, Hou Ying pressed him against the door and gnawed, and said with a smile, "I'm not angry yet, you blamed me first, huh?"
"A little upset."
Li Xuanyuan hugged him.
"What's wrong?"
Hou Ying felt a little strange.
Li Xuanyuan said: "I didn't like their family before, but later... my grandma originally wanted my mother to cultivate a relationship with his father's childhood sweetheart, but my mother didn't like his father, and the two started their own families. But his father He still can't get his position right, and even with Xuanyuan Yu, he thinks that the Xuanyuan family must have his share."
"Just like that? How do I think he has something else in mind for you?"
Hou Ying had completely erased Xuanyuanyu's threat in her heart, and the clown was nothing to worry about.
"That's why I didn't want to associate with him anymore." Li Xuanyuan paused, and said, "Do you know why I haven't wanted to go home for so many years?"
He sighed, "Did I mention the senior who committed suicide by jumping off the building? The day before his death, my sister went to him, and what she said was a bit too much. She probably doesn't know that she was murdered by Xuanyuan Yu. After that incident, I confessed my sexual orientation to my parents. They were very sad, but they didn't dare to do anything to me because of my senior. Afterwards, Xuanyuan Yu showed special feelings towards me. My mother I owed his father a lot in my heart, so I gave him many opportunities to get close to me, and even let him live in the house directly, saying that he wanted to comfort and enlighten me. I was immature at the time, unable to adjust my emotions, and blamed my sister , angering my parents, the existence of Xuanyuan Yu is even more a fuse. I am very annoyed and feel that being in this family suffocates me, so... "
"Run away from home, um, I guessed what happened next. Later, my family Xuanyuan grew up and felt that it was wrong to lose his temper before, but he was too shy to admit his mistake first, so he didn't dare to go home, did he?"
Hou Ying pretended to be serious.
Li Xuanyuan: "..."
He patted Hou Ying on the head angrily, and treated him like Wang Hehe or Meng Hanghai, and talked to him in this tone!
Being interrupted by him like this, Li Xuanyuan's bad mood disappeared, and after absorbing the crystal nucleus with him for a while, he went up to see Li Hou's situation.
Except for the spare parts, the Xuanyuan family still has a large inventory of crystal nuclei of various attributes. For the next five days, Hou Ying will concentrate on absorbing the crystal nuclei.
And Shen Xu, who has been following Li Hou's team, found that since Li Hou's team submitted Peng Haodong's mission, there has been no movement.
Miao Feng: "Captain, I have inquired. They were arranged by Xuanyuan Zhen to take care of the garden and bonsai for Patriarch Xuanyuan. It is said that Li Xuanyuan's wood-type ability is relatively mild."
Shen Xu didn't quite believe this. He always felt that Hou Ying and the others were definitely hiding some trump card for being able to hunt down the third-level corrosive zombie flies, and had they already revealed this trump card to the Xuanyuan family? Otherwise, why would the Xuanyuan family, which has never dealt with base teams, make an exception
He couldn't think of an answer, so he looked at one person and asked, "Yang Ling, what do you think?"
According to his tone, he valued Yang Ling more than Miao Feng.
But the Yang Ling he was talking about was the only woman among the main players of the Rising Sun team. Contrary to her imposing name, she was a woman with a petite appearance and plain facial features.
Hearing this, Yang Ling said calmly, "Captain, I think you have more important things to worry about now. Li Hou's team is just an insignificant role. If you don't want to give up, it's not too late to think of a way later." .”
"What's more important?"
Shen Xu didn't know why.
Yang Ling said: "That's right. Captain, Patriarch Shen has already told the captain that the weather may change again in the near future."
"Do you also believe in the unfounded worries of the Xuanyuan family?"
"No," Yang Ling said firmly, "Captain, I don't think this is unfounded worry. On the contrary, maybe this accident will happen earlier than the Xuanyuan family expected."
"...Did you find anything during your trip?" Shen Xu frowned.
Yang Ling nodded, "I wasn't sure at first, but now the Xuanyuan family's thinking coincides with mine, making me believe that it is necessary to take precautions against this matter. Captain, no matter whether the weather changes will come or not, our team is the most important The most important thing is always to improve our combat power. Opportunities will not be left to those who are not prepared. Our combat power is improved. If we really find a second large wave of zombies, it will be an opportunity for our team and also for the captain. Chance."
Shen Xu understood what she meant.
Team Rising Sun is an S-rank team, but it is not the only S-rank team. Compared with the A-level team below, he is of course the trump card, but he always has to work hard to maintain a comparable level in the pursuit of the Lions and Changhong teams. If he had prepared enough this time and performed outstandingly in the zombie tide, the status of Team Rising Sun would also be different, and the status of the Shen family in the base would also increase accordingly.
To put it another way, if the weather changes are inevitable, and Team Lion and Changhong are prepared but he is not, Team Rising Sun will also distance themselves from them, and it will be difficult to catch up again.
These three S-class teams are actually the competition between the heirs of the three major families of the base, and Shen Xu will never allow himself to be disadvantaged.
Yang Ling's words were like enlightenment, Shen Xu smiled and said: "Yang Ling is right, then I will entrust you with full responsibility for this matter, so that the people below will pay attention to it, and let me know immediately if there is a gap in the crystal core materials."
Yang Ling nodded.
"Captain, I know that Hou Ying and the others fooled the captain and made you very unhappy. After this incident is over, we will have a lot of opportunities to repay them. As long as they leave the base, there will be countless accidents that can teach them a lesson. Doubt can't do anything. If the Xuanyuan family treats them only as gardeners, then we don't even need to take action."
After hearing this, Shen Xu finally smiled with satisfaction.
Miao Feng's eyes flickered slightly, but finally he could only lower his head unwillingly.
However, this time the weather change came faster than Yang Ling, Xuanyuan's family, and everyone predicted!
It no longer happens in the middle of the night, but at noon on a certain day, suddenly dark clouds cover the sun, followed by pouring rain!
But in an instant, hailstones were entrained in the torrential rain, and they fell one by one.
At that time, Hou Ying was still absorbing crystal nuclei in the basement, and before he felt the temperature getting colder, he heard Li Hou's cry. He was startled, and was about to find out what happened, but he didn't know if it was because he had squatted for too long and the oxygen supply to his brain was insufficient, so he turned around and felt very dizzy. Immediately, he felt his abnormality, his heartbeat accelerated, and his body temperature suddenly soared.
He gritted his teeth, unaware that his eyes were covered with black silk in just one breath, his pupils constricted, and the black silk even climbed from his face like a tree root to his neck.
He shook his head vigorously to regain consciousness, but before he could get close to the warehouse door, he fell down uncontrollably.
When Li Xuanyuan found him, it was already five minutes after the weather had changed.
Li Hou and Meng Hanghai are young, and Wang Hehe is also low in power level, which is greatly affected by the sudden change of weather. Although he didn't have a fever, his body couldn't hold on. Li Xuanyuan turned on the heating, air-conditioning and electric geothermal heating that had been installed in case of emergencies, and then realized that something was wrong with Hou Ying not responding to such a big movement, so he found it. He never expected that the ability had already broken through level five. Hou Ying quietly fainted indoors.
"Hou Ying!"
Li Xuanyuan hugged him in panic.
The high temperature of forty-six degrees at noon dropped to zero within half an hour. The hail was gone, but there were snowflakes in the rain, which fell to the ground as if without weight, taking away the vitality of many survivors and living birds and plants.
Then, the zombies rioted.
