C19 Go Home

Because he had just participated in a battle yesterday, he was not on duty today. He was planning to go home and take a look.

Hsu Yuvran had chosen Haihe University. There was a very important reason for this. Haihe University was located in Nanjiang City.

Hsu Yuvran, who had been sick for more than twenty years, was most familiar with all kinds of hospitals in Nanjiang City.

After leaving for more than a year, he wanted to go home and take a look.

What if his father was already home and waiting for him?

He still had a little bit of hope in his heart.

He found a soldier outside and borrowed a set of casual clothes. He wore a long-sleeved shirt, jeans, and a pair of sports shoes. He was dressed like a typical student.

When he walked out of the barracks, he coincidentally ran into two Awakening Cultivators who were on duty on the city wall yesterday. One of them was a short and sturdy young man, and the other was an ordinary middle-aged woman.

When the short and sturdy young man saw Hsu Yuvran, his eyes lit up. He took the initiative to greet Hsu Yuvran, "My name is Cai Bing. How may I address you, little brother?"

The middle-aged woman beside him also laughed and said, "I'm Cheng Lin."

Hsu Yuvran quickly shook hands with the two of them. "I'm Hsu Yuvran, a second-year student. Hmm... I'm supposed to be a third-year student this year, haha."

As Cai Bing shook hands with Hsu Yuvran, he said, "Today is the weekend, right? Are you preparing to go to the city?"

"Yeah, I haven't been home for more than a year. I'm from Nanjiang City. I have to hurry back and take a look."

"You're not home for more than a year? Then you have to hurry back and take a look. You can ask the soldiers on duty to arrange a military vehicle for you," Cheng Lin said.

"Alright, thank you. See you later." Hsu Yuvran said goodbye to the two and explained the situation to the soldiers on duty.

Not long after, a green Dongfeng Fighter stopped in front of him. Hsu Yuvran sat in the driver's seat and drove along the east side of the inner ring towards his home.

His home was actually not too far from the east side of the inner ring. He listened to the small soldier who was driving to explain the situation to him while paying attention to the current situation in Nanjiang City.

When the Mutated Beasts appeared in large numbers and started to harm humans, the government of Great Qin decisively took action.

Nanjiang City surrounded the east, south, west, and north sides of the Main City Region, and they collapsed. Together with the surrounding terrain, they created a city wall made of bricks and tiles.

This city wall effectively defended against the attacks of the Mutated Beasts. The small Mutated Beasts in the city had been cleaned up for almost a year, and they were no longer a threat.

All the humans who survived the outbreak of the virus were moved to the city wall and sent out scouting teams to search for the survivors.

Along the way, Hsu Yuvran saw that almost every building had a high-altitude machine gun. He knew that this was to defend against the Flying Mutated Beasts.

Perhaps it was because the road they were walking on was close to the city wall, so there were not many people.

Hsu Yuvran asked, "How many survivors are there in the Main City Region now?"

"About a million yuan. It's basically a military system. However, our main job is still to defend against the Mutated Beasts. Therefore, the local government system is still the same."

Hsu Yuvran couldn't help but sigh. It was once a big city with tens of millions of people.

In just a year, there were a million people, and 90% of them died.

After turning the east side of the Qin Capital, they entered the Fragrance Road. He exchanged contact information with the driver and told him to go out for a stroll. He wanted to call him when he went back.

The young warrior probably went into the city happily and drove away.

When they passed by the east side of the Qin Capital, Hsu Yuvran noticed that there were more cars and pedestrians on the street.

Gradually, there was a bit of liveliness, but most of the shops were closed.

Now, all the resources were under the direct management of the military. It was as if they had returned to the era of a big pot of rice.

He strolled through the Fragrance Road. Not far away was his neighborhood.

When he entered the Fragrance Courtyard, the security guard was still Uncle Liu.

He didn't expect the old man to be in such good health. He had even survived the outbreak of the virus.

He smiled and nodded to Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu also nodded to him in confusion.

There didn't seem to be many residents in the neighborhood. His house was located in Unit A, Room 202. When he arrived at the door, he thought for a while and knocked on the door.

There was no movement for a long time. He knew that his fantasy was still his wishful thinking.

He took out a key from under the cushion next to him and opened the door. A moldy smell that had been gone for a long time rushed into his nose.

He looked at the empty and dusty living room.

He didn't know if it was because of the moldy smell or something else, but his nose felt sour and his heart felt empty.

He ignored the dust on the sofa and sat down.

He thought of the teachers and classmates who had died from the virus, the countless martyrs who had died in battle, the Dongfang Bai who had left not long ago, and his father who might never be able to return home.

He sat in this house that he had been away from for a long time. The endless loneliness drowned him like a tide, and tears started to flow down his cheeks.

So, I am still alone...

In the Mutated Beast tide, he was a bloodthirsty warrior who could kill instantly and save the day. He was fearless of death and courageous in his charge!

At this moment, he was just a lonely boy in his twenties.

He should have enjoyed the beautiful life of a university under the care of his parents.

But now, he had to bear a lot of pain and pressure that he shouldn't have been able to bear at his age.

He cried for a long time, as if he had released all the grievances and loneliness he had suffered in the past year.

He went to the bathroom and opened the tap to wash his face. His eyes were still red.

He found a big box and put all of his clothes inside.

Although it was covered in dust, he could go back to the barracks to wash them.

He looked around. Other than the bed, sofa, and dining table, he had sold everything else. He found a broom and a mop and started to clean the room.

It took him about two hours to finally clean up the dust in the house.

He found a big piece of paper and wrote a few big words on it. “Dad, I’m still alive. I’m going to join the army. My phone number is XXX.”

He put the big piece of paper in the most eye-catching place in the living room. After looking for a while, he raised his hand and added, “I’ve grown up! I miss you so much!”

He looked at the clean room again. He did not know when he could go home again.

He dragged the big box and walked out, locking the door.

He put the key back under the cushion. This was the place where the father and son had agreed to hide the key.

When he walked to the entrance of the neighborhood, he saw a lot of people surrounding the entrance. There were also a few cars parked at the entrance.

Hsu Yuvran did not want to bother with these things, but he heard Uncle Liu’s voice from the crowd. “Just say what you want to say. Why are you pushing me?”

Hsu Yuvran squeezed into the crowd. A few neighbors in the crowd recognized him and asked in surprise.

"Little Ran is back! It's great that you're fine!"

"Yuvran is back? Where have you been all this time?"

"Yuvran, where's your dad? Why did you come back by yourself?"

Although they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, the neighbors felt as if they had been separated from each other after seeing Hsu Yuvran.

Hsu Yuvran had been sick all year round, and her father often went on business trips. He had received much care from the neighbors.

The neighbors saw that he was sick and pitiful, so they sent him food and hospitalized him. Hsu Yuvran had always been grateful to everyone.

Hsu Yuvran smiled and greeted the neighbors as she walked to the center of the argument.

A few men in suits surrounded a young woman in her thirties. The young woman was dressed fashionably and had a beautiful appearance.

The group of people surrounded Uncle Liu and the two property management staff, and they were talking about something.

"What is going on?" Hsu Yuvran asked Auntie Wang, who was next to her.

"What else could it be? No one knew when the virus would get better. This company called Hengshun Real Estate Company suddenly came to the property management office today and said that they wanted to demolish and expropriate the land, and it was almost as cheap as cabbage." Auntie Wang was getting more and more angry as she spoke.

"Now that the virus is so bad, and there are mutated beasts threatening us, are they crazy? Why are they here to demolish and expropriate the land at this time? What price are they offering?" Hsu Yuvran was also a little confused.

"So the price of one-tenth of the property is not even that high!" Auntie Wang was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of spittle.

"Wouldn't it be fine if we don't sell it to them? Why are you still arguing here?" Hsu Yuvran was even more confused.

"Those people are the representatives of that company. They said that the government wanted to build a security research institute and expropriate our land!" Another neighbor, Auntie Zhang, also came over.

Hsu Yuvran calculated in her heart, "The government wants to expropriate the land? The government will entrust it to a private enterprise? They are still expanding in this situation? No, there is something wrong here!"

"They said that they want to expropriate the land today?" Hsu Yuvran wanted to confirm it again.

The two aunties said together, "It's today. I don't know what is wrong with them!"

Hsu Yuvran decided to test it out again. She squeezed her way over and stood beside Uncle Liu.

"You are a private enterprise. It is not up to you to expropriate the land, right?" Hsu Yuvran asked loudly.

"Eh?! Little Ran, Little Ran is back!" Uncle Liu finally reacted when he saw Hsu Yuvran again.

Just now, someone came in and greeted him. He felt that it was very familiar. It turned out that it was Little Bun Hsu Yuvran who came back.

"Little Ran, you are not well. Don't get involved in these things. The adults will explain it to them. Don't worry." Uncle Liu quickly pulled Hsu Yuvran away.

Hsu Yuvran patted the back of Uncle Liu's hand. "It's fine. We will reason with them. We can't forcefully demolish it."

This was the home that Hsu Yuvran had lived in for more than twenty years. This was the most precious memory of the father and son.

Moreover, he had even fantasized that one day, his father would be able to return home.

Even if the government wanted to expropriate the land, they would have to ask Hsu Yuvran's permission.

The beautiful young woman frowned and said sternly, "Who said that we can't demolish it? Mayor Guo personally gave the order. Do you dare to oppose it?"

Hsu Yuvran looked at the aggressive attitude of the young woman and understood.

This neighborhood was close to the government. It was a good location for the construction of the security research institute.

However, the fourth generation of Super Bomb had just been shipped over last night. It could be used to kill the Mutated Beasts. This news should only be known by a few people at the top of Nanjiang City.

Today, someone would immediately come to expropriate the land and demolish it. There would be a big problem here.
