Chapter 215 My eldest sister gave birth? Even if the greenhouse was closed early, it shouldn't
"Little Tongtong, can I video chat with my mom now?"
[Yes, host. When Gu Changge and his group returned, they ransacked a telecommunications company, taking away their equipment and over ten thousand mobile phones. They've now achieved basic communication capabilities.]
As expected of a product from the system, it achieves network coverage and full signal strength without the need for a telecommunications company!
[Host, the stronger you become, the stronger I become. Global network coverage and a return to civilized society will not be a dream!]
The little system's words excited Lu Fei, but thinking about the global situation, she decided to just focus on taking care of the small plot of land she cared about.
They exchanged three mobile phones from the system, so even if they were some distance from the nine bases, they could still make calls normally thanks to the mini-system.
Lu Fei couldn't wait to send a video call request to Chen Wanyue with her phone. The little system also specially came out of the space, transformed into an orange cat, and jumped into her arms. It also wanted to greet its host's mother.
Cao Zhengyu and Mo Yu merely raised an eyebrow in surprise at the sudden appearance of the system, without saying anything more.
Just like Lu Fei can bring out all sorts of good things and is proficient in various skills, as long as you know she's on your side, you won't ask any questions.
No fool would complain about having too good a teammate!
Lu Fei counted on her fingers; it had been two months since she left her mother. She missed her mother and wanted to be close to her.
I'm a little excited to see you after so long.
Finally, the phone connected, and the faces of my mother and grandfather Chen Junzhe appeared in the camera's view. There were also many shadowy lights behind them, indicating that there were quite a few people.
"Who are you? Why are you talking to me?"
Chen Wanyue received a video call again after four years, and it rang for a while before she realized she had to answer it.
Everyone brought their phones back earlier, saying it would restore communication and make things much easier when going on missions in the future.
But Chen Wanyue's phone just sat there, with her father, brother, and nephews all around her, and she had no one to contact.
When the phone rang for the first time, Chen Wanyue was overjoyed. With a woman's intuition, she felt it was her precious daughter.
But when the call connected, it was a strange man. He felt extremely disappointed, and his expression became somewhat stiff.
"Mommy, Mommy, it's me, Feifei!"
Lu Fei was stunned for a moment when she saw her face in the camera, then quickly changed back to her original appearance, pouting and acting coquettishly towards Chen Wanyue.
"Feifei?? My baby, I knew it was you! Mommy missed you so much! How are you? Are you tired? Are you in danger? You've lost weight since you left Mommy!"
When Chen Wanyue saw Lu Fei, she immediately became happy again. Looking at her daughter's fresh and pretty face through the screen, her eyes reddened.
She felt useless as a mother; her daughter was fighting outside, while she could only stay at the base and enjoy herself.
Seeing Chen Wanyue's dejected appearance, Lu Fei quickly changed the subject and told her that she had given birth to a child named Lu Zhaocai.
"What?! You had a baby? You were only gone for two months!"
"What? Big sister had a baby? She was still single when we left, how could she have a baby already? Even if you put the greenhouse on early, it shouldn't have happened this quickly."
As Chen Wanyue exclaimed, the crowd gathered around, filling the camera lens to capacity.
"Hahaha, of course it's my baby," Lu Fei laughed heartily at everyone's surprised looks, showing off her little system. "Look at my furry child, just born a couple of days ago, isn't he adorable?"
"Meow~"
The little system finally received an introduction from its host, and quickly struck its cutest pose, calling out softly to Chen Wanyue.
In an instant, Chen Wanyue's eyes widened and her breathing became rapid. What an adorable cat! Since the apocalypse, such small animals had become extinct. She hadn't seen such a lively and cute kitten in a very long time.
"Oh my god, it's just a cat! I was so scared. I thought my older sister was going to reproduce asexually."
Hu Dabao exaggeratedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, which made everyone burst into laughter.
With Lu Fei's outburst, the atmosphere was thoroughly heated, and they were simply pulled into a group chat.
Everyone started talking to Lu Fei at once, even Rong Qi looked at her and called her "little sister" in a silly manner.
Since Rong Qi arrived at the base, he has either been following Chen Wanyue or helping with farming and other work. Due to the trauma to his brain, he is slow to react and express himself, but everyone welcomes him and takes good care of him.
Besides, this guy is a big shot who strips people of their superpowers. Anyone who dares to show off will be back to square one in no time.
He also enjoys giving back to everyone and is more hardworking than an ox.
Chen Wanyue showed Lu Fei the recent developments at the base with her phone. With the constant temperature protective shield, everyone was very comfortable even during the hottest periods.
Now, among the nine bases, who wouldn't want to come to the Hongjian base? Rows and rows of houses have been added to the houses, and many people have expressed their desire to enter the base. However, these are turbulent times, and everyone is very cautious.
With all the supplies brought back from the central base, apart from the high temperature making it a bit unbearable, this was the most comfortable heatwave everyone had ever experienced.
Suddenly, the camera flashed by a fleeting figure, piquing Lu Fei's curiosity, so she asked Chen Wanyue when the dogs were leashed at the entrance of the base.
"Heh, they're just dogs," Chen Wanyue said, a cold glint in her eyes as she turned the camera around. "Take a look at these dogs, aren't they nice?"
In the footage, the four members of the Lu family are chained to the base gate, unable to run away or get in.
The base was cool and comfortable, but outside, the four of them were practically being roasted to a crisp by the scorching sun.
Hearing the conversation, only Lu Junhao raised an eyebrow and glanced in their direction; the other three remained motionless, as if dead.
"Oh dear, tsk tsk tsk, look at their pitiful state," Lu Fei said with a hint of regret. "Who would have thought that these were the once arrogant Lu family father and son?"
"Mom, remember to flip them over later so they dry evenly!"
After Lu Jiamu was taken away, only the father and his three sons remained in the base. They originally wanted to return to the Blazing Fire Base, but were resisted by everyone in the base.
In the end, Su Ming (that cowardly commander of the Blazing Fire Base) simply removed them from the list so as not to be beaten to death by his own brother.
If Hongjian Base doesn't want them, they'll just be waiting to die during this extremely hot period.
In order to survive, the four finally apologized to Chen Wanyue. Lu Zhen cried and said that it was all done by Feng Tianhe and Lu Xue, mother and daughter, and that he was deceived into doing such a thing to hurt his wife.
The three sons also blamed Lu Xue for the mistake.
Their words made it seem as if the people who had previously doted on Lu Xue were brainless placentas. They swore to Chen Wanyue that they would be filial to her in the future, but it was all too late.
Chen Wanyue was disheartened by their actions, especially when she thought about what they had done to Lu Fei, she was filled with hatred.
So they simply had Rong Qi strip them of their superpowers and turn them into ordinary people, living the life that Chen Wanyue and the original owner of the body had lived before.
They were given two coarse cakes a week and a small bowl of dirty water a day (they had to be exposed to the sun every day, otherwise it wouldn't be fun if they died, so they were given more). They were not allowed to die, but they were not allowed to suffer either, and they were tortured like this every day.
"Not bad, not bad, well done," Lu Fei laughed heartily. "Let me show you my masterpiece too."
After saying that, Lu Fei opened the sack next to her, revealing an ugly face that looked like a kappa.
"Come on, let's have a guessing game! Guess who this ugly guy is!!"
