In a cinema that was about to open in Daxia Kingdom, Zhou Bai and "Aunt Wang" were sitting in front of the big screen, looking at the people on the screen, who were holding a party.
This is the seventh carnival party they have held this week.
There is no red moon in the night sky, no danger lurking in the darkness, and the cracks in the streets have almost all disappeared.
It's just that "Aunt Wang"'s expression has become worse and worse recently. If Zhou Bai hadn't noticed it several times and quickly sent energy to her, she might not have been able to support it long ago.
Lao Mo walked in from the door of the broadcast hall, walked next to "Aunt Wang", and as usual, started to report her recent work situation.
"The last blanket search has ended. Except for the people we specially stayed to help, no other remaining personnel have been found."
"The people assigned to perform tasks in Blue Star countries all came back yesterday."
"Commander Xie, who only has to go to the Free Country, has not come back."
…
After listening to Lao Mo's report, "Aunt Wang" nodded slightly and said to him in a weak voice:
"It doesn't matter, nothing will happen."
After Zhou Bai heard this, he frowned.
"Aunt Wang" didn't notice the change in the expression of the person next to her, but looked down at the time on her watch, and then said to Lao Mo:
"The meeting will begin at 10 o'clock on time. There are still two hours left. It depends on whether he can make it back."
After Lao Mo finished reporting his work, he glanced at Zhou Bai who was sitting beside him and wanted to speak, but in the end he said nothing and quietly left.
Zhou Bai looked at his leaving figure and sighed silently.
After all, it's still a little different from before.
But there's nothing wrong with that.
Anyway, after the matter is resolved, I won't go back with them.
He leaned back in his chair and looked at the people on the screen with a slight smile on his face.
Then, they saw two more familiar figures walking towards them at the entrance of the broadcast hall.
The people who came in this time were Xiaoyu and Dayu.
However, they are no longer what they used to be, and the mutated parts of their bodies have long disappeared. At this time, they look like two young men in their twenties.
They walked in one after another, stopped next to Zhou Bai, and straightened their bodies respectfully.
"Sir, all mutants have taken colored pills before going back.
We can confirm that their sudden return will not pose a burden to our world."
After Xiaoyu finished speaking, he handed a colored pill to Zhou Bai.
"You gave us all the pills you brought out.
We were worried that you didn't have any plans for yourself, so we specially left one out."
Zhou Bai took the pill with a smile, silently put it back into his pocket without saying anything.
When Xiaoyu saw it, he suddenly became anxious.
"Sir, after our verification, there is no problem with Wu Chi's research.
Taking colored pills in our current state can indeed better reduce the side effects after cure.
We are all going back soon, sir, you must remember to take the pills first."
Zhou Bai stood up with a smile and patted Xiaoyu's shoulder gently.
"I understand everything.
But there will be a meeting in 2 hours, and I have to be in the best condition. This is a critical moment, and I don't dare to lose track.
As for the pills, let’s wait until the meeting is over before taking them.”
When Xiaoyu heard what Zhou Bai said, he smiled: "You're right. As long as you have something to eat, I'll be relieved."
Behind Xiaoyu stood Dayu, who was a little taller and more mature-looking.
He kept listening to Xiaoyu's work report without interrupting, and only occasionally showed a few silly smiles that were not suitable for the current situation.
After Xiaoyu and Zhou Bai finished speaking, they were about to leave the broadcast hall. As soon as they turned around, Dayu reached out to stop him.
"Eh? Isn't there one more thing you haven't talked about?"
Dayu's innocent question attracted the attention of Zhou Bai and "Aunt Wang", who both looked at them.
Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned dark, and he raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Turning around, he glanced at "Aunt Wang" subconsciously, and then said to Zhou Bai:
"It's nothing. He has been a bird for a long time and is not used to being a human being yet.
I will take him out and teach him a lesson."
After he finished speaking, he quickly pulled Dayu and walked out.
She lowered her voice and said to him: "Are you stupid? Is this something that everyone can know?"
"Aunt Wang" leaned weakly on the back of the chair. It looked like she might not even have the strength to sit on the chair if she hadn't been breathing her last breath.
In this state, she naturally had no time to pay attention to the whispers between Dayu and Xiaoyu.
What Aunt Wang can’t know?
Zhou Bai waited until the two of them walked out, still pondering this question in his mind.
But after much deliberation, I still can’t figure out what else can be done between Blackbeard and Blackbeard that they can’t honestly talk to each other now that they’ve been working together for half a year.
However, based on Zhou Bai's understanding of Xiaoyu, he can be sure that this matter will not affect the overall situation.
If that's the case, then let him be.
Zhou Bai believed that he had more important things to think about now.
In the past six months, as more and more people went back, every part of the spark was gradually lit up.
Zhou Bai knew that unsheathing the sword meant that war was imminent.
Even though it seemed very calm now, Zhou Bai could foresee that there would be a big battle waiting for him.
The time soon came to ten o'clock in the evening.
Before that, people attending the meeting entered the broadcasting hall one after another.
They each found a seat and sat down. They looked up at the people on the screen who had not yet finished their carnival. They all involuntarily showed happy smiles as if they themselves were participating in the carnival.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the meeting officially started.
"Aunt Wang" stood up from the chair with force, turned around, looked at everyone attending the meeting, and finally set her sights on a specially vacated seat.
"Commander Xie still hasn't come back." Lao Mo stood up and explained.
"Aunt Wang" lowered her eyes, motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "In that case, let's start today's meeting."
After she finished speaking, she was about to continue talking when she suddenly heard an energetic voice coming from outside the door.
"Who said I didn't come back in time?
How could such an important meeting today be without me?"
Commander Xie was still wearing a straight uniform, and the left chest was covered with medals.
"Hahaha, I am indeed late, but while completing the task, I did a good thing by the way."
