Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Gouging Out Leng Yebai’s Eyes?
This voice with the potential of a leading man came from the multicolored-haired guy.
He thought the Base Commander favored his big brother, which was why he pleaded. To him, a Third Rank Superpower User was a high-ranking existence, and the Base Commander couldn’t possibly not side with his big brother.
Sometimes, people who are a bit slow really have issues with both emotional intelligence and IQ, failing to see the truth of the matter.
"Pretending to be magnanimous! You’re just afraid of the Base Commander." The multicolored-haired guy glanced at Leng Yebai sideways and continued, "Weren’t you just looking at people with that damn haughty expression a moment ago? Why aren’t you pretending now?"
Hearing the multicolored-haired guy’s words, the middle-aged man silently took a step back, keeping his distance from him.
The only reason he came to help initially was because he had a craving for dog meat.
But he cherished his life, and there was no need to get himself in trouble with this fool.
Just a meal of dog meat, nothing close to a lifetime’s worth of meals.
Everyone did not expect the multicolored-haired guy to be so clueless.
In reality, the multicolored-haired guy had been continuously burned by Bai Anhai and Leng Yebai with lightning and fire, leaving his brain buzzing, barely hearing what the few people were discussing.
Ignorance is bliss.
"What did you say?"
Before Leng Yebai could respond, the Base Commander was already angry.
What he was proudest of in his son was his pair of eyes.
Those eyes resembled his wife’s eyes.
This son of his inherited the beauty of both him and his wife, making him feel delighted. Hearing someone speak like this, who wouldn’t want to throttle him!
"As long as you’re scared!" The multicolored-haired guy rubbed his head and said excitedly to the Base Commander, "Base Commander, quickly help me dig out his eyes!"
Even now, the slow-witted multicolored-haired guy still thought the Base Commander was on his side.
"Ah—"
The multicolored-haired guy wanted to say more, but before he could open his mouth, a bolt of lightning struck down.
He fell directly to the ground, unsure if he was alive or dead.
"Throw him out of the base."
The Base Commander shot a chilly glance at the middle-aged man.
"Okay, I’ll do it right away."
The middle-aged man quickly dragged the multicolored-haired guy towards the direction of the safety base gate, dragging him on the ground like a dead dog.
The matter came to an end.
Leng Yebai didn’t want to stay and face those intense eyes.
So, he took Bai Xiqin, greeted Bai Anhai, and headed towards the direction of the black market.
Brother Monkey was a person that garnered some attention from Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.
The breakthrough point was the meat-seller, and going to the black market might yield some clues.
"Wait! Xiao White, wait a minute!"
The Base Commander suddenly called out to Leng Yebai, then strode over to him.
Hearing the Base Commander calling Leng Yebai "Xiao White," the Bai Family members tried hard to suppress their laughter.
That nickname... was quite sissy.
Blue veins throbbed on Leng Yebai’s forehead, "Call me Xiao Leng!"
"Alright, son!"
The Base Commander, with a slightly wicked smile on his cool face, reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to Leng Yebai.
Leng Yebai didn’t take it.
The Base Commander, unfazed by awkwardness, directly opened it for Leng Yebai to see clearly.
Leng Yebai glanced at it, feeling expectedly inevitable, without any reaction.
"Son, welcome home."
The Base Commander suddenly extended a hand, giving Leng Yebai’s shoulder a firm pat, his face beaming with a smile, eyes welling up with tears.
Facing the Zombie King, he hadn’t shed a tear, yet now he looked on the verge of tears.
He had insisted on considering his estate as the base, hoping that one day his son might come to the safety base, and even if they met without recognition, it would still feel like home.
Now, his son had truly come home.
Yunhua Safety Base was his home, his son’s home. His son, after a 26-year absence, had finally returned.
Leng Yebai glanced around confusedly but said nothing.
Was Yunhua Safety Base really his home?
He didn’t particularly feel attached; he still felt that the bus was his home, where his family lived together happily.
"This was where our family of three lived. You, whenever you’re free, I’d like to take you to see your mother."
The Base Commander paused slightly, his eyes full of vicissitudes.
Leng Yebai paused, silent.
As Leng Yebai didn’t speak, the Base Commander took it as agreement, and looking at his tall, robust son, the sorrow in his heart dissipated.
He truly felt fortunate, having never raised a son but finding him just as he was about to settle down and get established.
The Base Commander cheerfully let everyone present take a look at the paternity test report.
Everyone looked at Leng Yebai in unison, while he expressionlessly took Bai Xiqin’s hand and turned, heading toward the black market.
It was hard to discern what Leng Yebai was feeling.
The Base Commander remained excited, looking at the report over and over, as if he had written it himself, going over it word by word.
Not satisfied with just looking himself, he walked with Bai Anhai towards the bus, calling over the elderly couple and Wang Yiyun, who were absorbing crystal cores, to show them the report.
On the bus, the Base Commander’s laughter echoed, occasionally punctuated by the Bai Family’s sighs.
On the other side.
Leng Yebai walked silently along the road, holding Bai Xiqin’s hand.
Bai Xiqin felt that Leng Yebai’s steps seemed much lighter.
Not sure if it was because he wanted to escape from that newly emerged father or because he had put down a long-held wish.
Perhaps both!
Finally knowing where he came from, knowing who his parents are, no longer having to dream of two shapeless silhouettes.
Running away was due to the reunion being not quite fulfilling, ultimately missing one person.
"How are you?"
Bai Xiqin waved Leng Yebai’s finger.
Leng Yebai pressed his thin lips together, finally uttering, "Not bad. Make sure to ask that guy for a hefty bride price, Xiao Niu."
At least it would fetch a good sum!
It would be a waste not to, and he sure seemed wealthy.
Thinking of this, Leng Yebai’s heart felt a bit easier.
It was another chance to let Xiao Niu earn a big sum! Delightful~
Bai Xiqin chuckled, "Sure! I’ll definitely ask for a lot!"
She knew that while Leng Yebai might not say it, he actually already accepted that father in his heart.
Who could refuse an old father willing to fork out a bunch of crystal cores?
The two didn’t speak much on the way, quickly arriving at the black market.
The black market was still crowded with people, not as extreme as directly selling kids like in the Fire Phoenix Safety Base, but such businesses did occur here.
Some undernourished-looking children were being dragged by their parents, wandering aimlessly through the black market.
If someone took a liking to these children, they would approach and negotiate the price with the parents, and upon agreement, they would be able to take the child away.
The two headed directly to the meat stall in front.
As usual, a bunch of survivors surrounded the meat stall, their eyes fixated on the meat displayed.
Unable to afford it, they could only feast with their eyes.
Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin squeezed through the thick crowd, finally arriving in front of the stall owner.
The owner, with an oily complexion, was a butcher whose heavy presence of slaughter was daunting.
"Brother Monkey sent us."
Leng Yebai looked calmly at the stall owner and inexplicably said.
The owner paused, taking a deep look at the two of them.
