Chapter 50 Ordinary Daily Life
At Wusong Port in SH City, workers, farmers, and white-collar workers all put down their work and rushed here in the early hours of the morning. They filled every corner outside the port cordon. There was only one purpose: to welcome the soldiers who went to Europe home and to send off the expeditionary soldiers who went to the battlefield to win glory for the country. These expeditionary soldiers not only represent the glory and dignity of the country, but also the people they love most in their hearts - their children, friends or relatives. They are eager to witness the return of these brave soldiers as soon as possible and express their deep respect and warm welcome to them.
As time passed, under the expectant gaze of countless people on the coast, black smoke from transport boats appeared on the horizon.
"Here they come. They come." At this time, some sharp-eyed people in the crowd had already seen the billowing black smoke coming out of the transport boat. They began to run around telling each other, and everyone's face was filled with smiles and tears.
At this time, the Seris soldiers who were responsible for the response had also arranged fire trucks, ambulances and other equipment, and were waiting for the transport boat to return.
As transport ships belching black smoke slowly entered the port, the Seris soldiers inside also tidied up their appearance under the instructions of their instructors, insisting on showing their best to greet the people and their families who came to pick them up.
At this time, Officer Seris also ordered dozens of cannons to fire, and the fire trucks next to them also ran at full power, building water gates for the transport boats to welcome the soldiers returning from afar.
"Salute!!!" The soldiers in the port put down their guns and saluted the transport boats.
After the transport boat docked, in addition to the expeditionary soldiers, what came into view were clothes, boxes, bullets, etc. neatly placed on a table. Behind each item, there was a black and white photo, as if telling the story of their owners.
"Comrades, we are home!" A deep and firm cry rang out in this peaceful harbor. The Seris soldiers standing behind responded in unison, their voices revealing endless grief and respect. They gently picked up the relics, as if they were holding the most precious treasures, and slowly moved forward.
One step, two steps... Their steps seemed particularly heavy, and each step carried a deep remembrance of their deceased comrades. After the soldiers holding the relics took seven steps forward, a loud command broke the silence.
"March!"
The remaining soldiers in the transport boat walked out of the boat in an orderly manner, like a well-trained army. Their eyes were focused and solemn, and they always kept a distance of seven steps from the martyrs in front of them. This was the case for every transport boat. This seven-step distance was like a tacit understanding and a silent oath.
At this solemn moment, the whole scene seemed to be frozen in time. The soldiers paid the highest tribute to the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country with their actions. In this special way, they escorted the remains of the martyrs back home so that they could rest in peace.
At this time, the crowd watching from a distance also began to get restless, their hearts filled with anxiety and expectation. Some people stared at the ship in the distance, eagerly searching for the figures of their loved ones; others prayed silently, hoping that the people they cared about would return safely. Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Look! That's a photo of my child (husband)!" Then, more people noticed the photos hanging on the side of the ship, and tears came out of their eyes. These photos seemed to be a bridge, connecting the thoughts and concerns of relatives across the ocean.
When these soldiers returned home exhausted, a new batch of soldiers who replaced them had already set out on their journey amid the cheers and blessings of the masses. Carrying the expectations of the motherland and the people, they left the port without hesitation and headed for the place full of war and gunpowder. This expedition will also be the last expedition to Europe. After all, the truth will come out eventually, and the Heijao Town incident will eventually be discovered by Suzhan. By then, a new fierce battle will surely break out between the two major forces.
At this moment, Yun Mo and Ye Erwen, under the secret protection of the guards, quietly left the port in a special vehicle and arrived at Lyle's research institute.
"Xiao Yun, you're finally back!" At this time, Yun Ru hugged her beloved brother without hesitation and doused him.
"Sister...sister...let me go first. This...we are still outside." Yun Mo, who was held in his arms, said helplessly.
When Yunru learned about Yunmo's return, she put down her busy work without hesitation and rushed to meet her brother. Lyle showed a helpless smile, and after sorting out all the information about the Iron Dragon tank, he followed Yunru's footsteps and chased after him.
"By the way, Mr. Lyle, has Sister Samuel arrived?" Yun Mo also thought of something at this time and asked Lyle.
"EMMM, calculate the time, they will arrive in half an hour, come on, let's go to the airport first."
"Mr. Lyle, can't we take some normal routes? Going through the tunnel is too..."
"Don't worry, I won't let you appear on the street to scare people. Besides, you all know how congested SH City is right now. It's too late to drive in time. Let's go."
—————Samuel’s side——————
When Lyle and others were preparing to go to the airport to pick them up, at the same time, Samuel was sitting on a plane to the Magic City with a beautiful girl.
"Sister Samuel, you look so beautiful today!" exclaimed the beautiful girl.
Samuel chuckled and replied, "Oh, Sister Istaru, he is my most beloved brother after all. We haven't seen each other for so long, so of course I have to leave a good impression on him." At this moment, Samuel no longer exuded the mental pressure that made people's legs weak. Instead, he was full of joy at meeting Yun Mo soon.
"Hmm... I see." Istar nodded thoughtfully, and then an expectant look appeared on her face, "It seems that I also need to go and get to know him."
As time went by, the plane slowly landed at Pudong International Airport in SH City. When the two of them passed through the crowd and left the airport smoothly, Samuel exclaimed.
"It feels so familiar, just like being in Moscow."
"Okay, Sister Samuel, let's talk about your feelings later. Do those people over there look like the people you are looking for?" Looking at the Yunru siblings not far away and Lyle standing beside them, Istaru asked.
"That's right, let's go! I can't wait to hug my cute little Yun Mo!"
Samuel happily hugged Yun Mo tightly in his arms and gently rubbed his pink short hair. Afterwards, after she introduced Istaru to everyone, everyone took a special car back to Lyle's research institute.
"Wow, is this the legendary SH city? It's really prosperous!" Samuel stared at the towering skyscrapers outside the car window and couldn't help but express his sincere admiration.
"Don't worry, Sister Samuel. Lord Yuri has specially approved a three-day vacation for you this time. You can enjoy your own wonderful time." Istaru comforted her with understanding.
"I see. That's great. Sister Samuel, why don't you let me take you around this city? After all, I'm quite familiar with it." At this time, Yun Mo volunteered to be the tour guide.
"Haha, okay, Little Phoenix, then you can take Samuel to visit SH City." Lyle, who was driving, couldn't help laughing and made this suggestion, while Yunru on the side also agreed with Yun Mo's idea.
After the special car arrived at the station, Lyle first arranged a room for Samuel and the other man, and then asked LEGION to prepare some delicious food to entertain them.
"Honestly, Mr. Lyle, I still like the food in Ceris. At the Psychic Department, I could only eat those salads and grilled meats. I almost vomited." Samuel complained about the sticky food while eating.
"It's okay. Little Phoenix is a pretty good cook. You can ask her to cook for you when you get back." Lyle reminded her. He had already told Yunru about the deal with Yuri. On the premise of Lyle's guarantee of safety, Yunru agreed to Yunmo's proposal to assist Samuel.
After dinner, Lyle went to lead the team to develop the final thunder gunboat, and Ye Erwen went to report the situation during this period to General Wu Xiurong. Yunru also went shopping with Istaru. As for Yunmo and Samuel.
Yun Mo specially changed into a tour guide's outfit and took Samuel to visit the attractions in SH City.
Figure
They first came to the Bund, one of the iconic attractions of Shanghai. Standing on the bank of the Huangpu River, you can see the scenery on both sides of the river. Skyscrapers such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, Jinmao Tower, and Shanghai World Financial Center shine in the morning light, while the old buildings behind them tell the history of Shanghai. Yun Mo pointed to the Lujiazui Financial District on the other side and told Samuel about the modernization of Shanghai.
Then, they took a ferry across the Huangpu River and arrived at Lujiazui. Here, they visited the SH Center Building and took a high-speed elevator directly to the observation hall, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire Shanghai city. Samuel was deeply shocked by the scene in front of her, and she took out her camera to record this unforgettable moment.
On the way to the tour, Yun Mo took Samuel to a time-honored restaurant near Chenghuang Temple and tasted authentic Shanghai specialties such as xiaolongbao and shengjian. Samuel was full of praise for these authentic delicacies.
After a hearty meal, they strolled through the ancient charm of Yu Garden, feeling the exquisiteness and charm of Jiangnan gardens. Rockeries, flowing water, pavilions, and towers all revealed a strong cultural atmosphere. Samuel took a rest in the teahouse in the garden, sipped a cup of fragrant tea, and enjoyed a moment of tranquility.
In the evening, Yun Mo suggested going to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. This is the commercial center of SH City, with a wide variety of shops and bustling crowds, showing a prosperous scene. Samuel picked up a few souvenirs in a specialty store and prepared to take them back to Libra and Istaru.
As night falls, the night view of SH is even more charming. Yun Mo and Samuel return to the Bund again. The lights of the Bund are bright, and the night view of Lujiazui on the opposite bank complements each other, forming a beautiful picture. They stroll along the riverside, feeling the unique charm of SH at night.
Finally, Yun Mo took Samuel to Xintiandi, a fashionable leisure area in SH City, which brings together various restaurants, bars and boutiques. They chose an open-air restaurant to enjoy dinner and ended this fulfilling and wonderful day in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
As the night deepened, Yun Mo and Samuel reluctantly returned home. Lying on the bed, Samuel's heart was filled with fond memories of the city of SH.
When the siblings were about to continue their trip, Istaru suddenly said in the communication: "Pagan, it seems that our trip to SH City has to come to an end for the time being."
"Istaru, what's the matter?" Samuel put away her smile at this time, and she quickly adjusted herself to combat status.
"Let me tell you, Pagan. During the Black Date Town incident, the opposition forces obtained a Mantis assembly tank from Boss La, which made him suspected by the Supreme Command. Now Boss La is being held in the Guantanamo Bay prison in Latin America. If he confesses, our Psychic Department will be finished." At this time, Yuri suddenly sent such a briefing in the communication.
"I understand, Lord Yuri." After Samuel said this, he took Yun Mo, Ye Erwen, and Istaru to the Sticky Mind Department on the special plane prepared by Lyle.
"Xiao Yun, considering the tight time schedule, I don't want to say much. Anyway, I only have one thing to say: don't force yourself. If you have any problems, ask me and Lyle for help."
"I understand, sister. I will take good care of myself. Besides, we have sisters Yeerwen, Samuel and Libra." Yun Mo said with determination.
After watching the plane take off, Lyle said to Yunru, "It looks like a storm is brewing. We have to go to Tibet."
"Yes, it's only a matter of time before Seris and Su Nien become enemies. We can only hope that those European warriors can return safely." Yun Ru said calmly.
