"What's wrong?"
Seeing Tianyang's strange expression, Su Lie asked.
Tianyang came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing, a friend left me a message, it's a bit unexpected, but it's nothing serious."
"friend?"
Su Lie looked out the window: "Friends here?"
Tianyang nodded.
Su Lie didn't say anything, nor did he ask what the news was. He just smiled and said, "Since it doesn't bother you, let's go back."
"Okay." Tianyang snapped his fingers, and when the 'Gap Door' reopened, the small living room of the old residence in the lower area of the Sky Fort could be seen outside the door.
Leaving the 'Ghostly Bones' in the collection room temporarily, Tianyang followed his father out of the Crack Door and returned to the living room of the old house. After closing the Crack Door, he heard Su Lie say, "Have a meal before you leave?"
Of course Tianyang didn't refuse, he smiled and said, "Okay."
"Then sit for a while, I'll go out to buy groceries." Su Lie walked into the bedroom, and when he came out, he had changed into simple and plain clothes. Now he didn't look like a strong man fighting against alien gods in Xingdu, but more like an ordinary resident in the lower city.
Just when Su Lie was about to go out, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Does Su Dahong live here? There's a letter for you."
Tianyang was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Lie.
Su Lie rubbed his face fiercely with his hand: "Commander, I will settle this account with you sooner or later!"
Tian Yang then knew what his father's new identity was, and that this name was given by Commander Chu Yan. He tried hard to suppress the smile that was about to appear, and watched Su Lie leave with a twitching mouth.
After his father passed away, Tianyang looked around. The shack where he and his mother Nanfei had lived for more than ten years still maintained its original layout.
The kitchen and living room are next to each other, and the other two bedrooms are also preserved. However, the house has obviously been renovated, with a lot of furniture added, and it looks more lively than before.
Tianyang walked into his mother's former bedroom. It was almost the same as before. There were many potted plants on the window bars. In addition to photos, there was a vase with flowers on the shelf on the wall beside the bed.
In the photo, it was still my young mother holding me when I was still a baby, but next to my mother, there was a photo of my father.
The photo is of him now. He must have taken a photo of himself, cropped it, and put it in a frame.
Although this photo is full of traces of stitching, after going through so much, the family of three is finally in the same frame.
When Su Lie came back, Tian Yang was shocked. He bought a lot of food, so much that it didn't look like two people could finish it in one meal.
"Come on, give me a hand."
Su Lie threw a bag of green vegetables to him: "Wash them."
"Okay." Tianyang rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen with ease. He poured water into the iron trough and then put the vegetables in to rinse.
Su Lie was dealing with other things. He beat the beef, threw a lot of spices into it, and poured a small amount of cooking oil to marinate it. Then he threw a fat sea fish on the table, scraped off the scales with a knife, and smeared a small amount of salt on the fish... ... ..
"What are your plans after we go back?" Su Lie asked while processing the sea fish.
Tian Yang carefully cleaned the dirt from the vegetables and responded, "After I go back, I will take over the Thunder Council. Speaker Lei Fu gave his position to me, and he plans to go back to Zhonglu to settle some matters."
"After taking over the parliament, I will unify the Waste City. The Clave Gate of the Waste City has been restarted. With this advantage, the Waste City will develop quickly."
"In addition, I have obtained the status of 'Holy Silver Knight' in the East Continent Cardinal Court of the Church of War. I promised a bishop in the Cardinal Court to provide him with information about the Dusk Slate."
"With these two points, I shouldn't have any problem gaining a foothold in the Western Continent."
Su Lie started to fry the fish. He poured a proper amount of cooking oil into the pan, lit the fire and heated the oil. When the oil was boiling, he gently slid the sea fish into the pan. Immediately, the aroma of fish wafted from the iron pan.
"That's good. You are more capable than me. When I was your age, I only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. Your mother will definitely be pleased to know that you are so capable."
Su Lie turned around and pointed to the kitchen cabinet: "Pass me the seasoning."
Tian Yang brought several kinds of seasonings and placed them beside the stove. He looked at Su Lie and said, "I thought you would think I was taking a big step, Dad."
Su Lie laughed and said, "Your life is your own. No one has the right to point fingers at you, including me."
"Whatever you do, I'll support you."
He pressed his son's shoulder hard, then turned the fish in the pot over and said, "I can't do much, but if you need my help, just ask."
Tianyang nodded vigorously, although in his heart, he didn't want to involve his father unless it was absolutely necessary.
But Tianyang was still very happy to get his father's affirmation and promise, and he felt full of strength all over his body. He was no longer afraid of any difficulties or strong enemies.
Because I have my father silently supporting me behind me, I am not afraid no matter how strong the storm is outside.
"Okay, get it out of the pot."
By this time, the fish had been fried. Su Lie scooped up the golden fried fish, placed it on the plate prepared early in the morning, and then poured the sauce he had just prepared on it. The aroma immediately filled the air, making people's appetites grow.
A moment later, a table was set up in the small living room. The table was filled with food. Tianyang and his father sat on each side. Su Lie poured a glass of wine for himself and his son, then raised the glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink together."
Tianyang noticed that there was a set of bowls and chopsticks placed in the direction of the bedroom. He looked towards the bedroom and saw his mother smiling brightly in the photo on the wall.
"cheers!"
Late at night.
Tianyang carried his drunk father into the bedroom, helped him take off his shoes, and put him on the bed.
After covering his father with a quilt, he silently left the bedroom and closed the door. Then he cleared the dishes on the table and put them back in place. Then Tianyang cleaned the living room. Only after everything was clean and tidy did he take a look at the bedroom and snapped his fingers.
Snapped.
Outlined by silver light, the crack door shook open, Tianyang turned and walked into the door. When this illusory and mysterious ancient door closed, his figure disappeared in the old house in the lower city.
Also in this quiet night, the Clough Gate located at the Upper Town transfer platform was open as usual, with vehicles entering and exiting from time to time.
Since the end of the Fortress War, the forward base behind the Klav Gate has been rebuilt.
Construction and expansion. After experiencing the attack by the black people, the fortress paid more attention to the forward base.
In addition to the previous defense system, the fortress expanded a number of fortifications and increased the number of troops at the forward base to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
As a result, the number of vehicles transporting supplies in and out of the Kraft Gate has increased significantly recently.
At this moment, a material transport truck drove out of the door, drove out of the transfer platform, and finally entered a garage not far from the platform.
After the transport truck stopped, the door opened and several people in full-body protective suits came out one after another. They said goodbye to each other and walked out of the garage.
A moment later, a figure silently flipped out from under the transport vehicle and got back into the car. When the door opened again, a man in dark blue work clothes walked out.
The man looked to be about thirty years old, with hard and sharp lines on his face. He had short hair on top of his head. Each hair was less than one centimeter long and looked as if it had just been cut.
When he arrived at the management office of the garage, there was only one staff member on duty. When the man pushed the door open, the staff member on duty turned around and looked at him, stunned for a moment and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The man did not answer, but walked forward expressionlessly. When he passed by the staff member, he patted him lightly on the shoulder.
The staff member was stunned at first, then he covered his chest, his eyes quickly lost their luster, and he fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, he had become a corpse. If you cut open the chest of the corpse, you will see that the worker's heart is gone.
A man in his thirties came to the control console. His eyes were blank at first, as if he was recalling something. Then his hands flew quickly, inputting commands on the control panel, and the screen in front immediately jumped to the interface of the fortress information database.
But at this time, a window appears on the screen asking you to enter your login name and password.
The man's fingers quickly pressed on the keyboard, and a name quickly appeared under the login name in the window: Yuan Shu!
After entering the password, the man pressed the OK button. A system bar appeared on the screen, and soon a new prompt appeared: This permission has expired.
“Has it been removed?”
The man smiled nonchalantly: "Yes, it's normal to be stripped of your authority after such a big incident."
He smiled, squatted down, stretched out his hand, and pulled down a metal panel under the management desk, exposing the many interfaces inside. The man stretched out a finger, and his finger quickly stretched and deformed, and suddenly pierced into a port.
The interface on the screen immediately flashed, and various codes rose from the bottom of the screen. Massive amounts of data were entered into the system. After a moment, the permission window jumped, and finally the login name became 'Chu Yan', followed by a prompt: Welcome to the information database, Chu Yan is the acting city lord.
After seeing this prompt, the man retracted the finger inserted in the interface, and his hands flew to retrieve various information.
Everything seemed normal, but before long, a dialog box appeared on the screen with only a few numbers in it: Who are you
The man paused and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why, there is a mouse hidden in the information database?"
The characters on the dialog box changed and new words appeared: I sense a familiar scent in the data stream you just used to attack the database.
You, from the grave
