Chapter 1370 - 703: Xu Huang’s Family
"Fei Kang, Jiang Hui, Wu Zhengyu, Song Fei, Xu Huang."
"Congratulations to the five of you for passing the assessment."
Upon hearing his name, Xu Huang’s eyes widened instantly, and his heart started pounding rapidly.
A surge of ecstasy rushed to his head.
He had been selected!
Meanwhile, those who were not selected showed a trace of gloom on their faces.
Some couldn’t bear it and shouted angrily, "Why? Why wasn’t I chosen? I’m a Spirit Ability User, I can even manipulate instruments with telekinesis, why wasn’t I selected?"
A member of the R&D department glanced at him and said, "Zhou He, your assessments were excellent, but your disposition is somewhat lacking, and the reasons you mentioned in the interview for wanting to participate in this mission were not sufficient."
"However, don’t lose heart. If this flight test mission is successful, there will be more opportunities for flight test missions coming your way."
"Those who passed the assessment can stay on Yangshan today. The patrol team will bring your family over to settle on the mountain."
"The mission rewards will be issued to you in advance, so you should quickly decide how to use them."
"According to the plan, the flight test mission will officially launch the day after tomorrow. You have one more day to spend with your families."
"Dismissed."
The selected individuals, after their initial excitement, fell into a subtle silence.
Only after the training did they gain a deeper understanding of how dangerous this mission was.
In the sky above, there weren’t just thunderclouds; terrifying Celestial Abyss monsters would also attack them!
Their goal this time was singular: to break through the clouds and return safely!
It sounded simple, but the entire process was fraught with danger!
Xu Huang pressed his lips together, saying nothing.
He had long made up his mind: no matter whether this mission succeeds or not, at the very least, his sister and mother could survive on Yangshan.
To him, that was enough.
The efficiency of the patrol team was very high, and by that afternoon, they had brought the families of the flight test personnel up the mountain.
"Everyone, your families have been settled in the residential building of the Yangshan Complex, and now we are issuing your mission rewards."
"Xu Huang, here are your three residential permits, and as you requested, three Genetic Species have been provided."
The staff approached Xu Huang, first handing him the three residential permits.
Then came the three Genetic Species.
These three Genetic Species were customized according to his requests.
They were a Water Attribute, a Fire Attribute, and a Speed Type Genetic Species.
The Fire Attribute was the one he kept for himself.
The Water Attribute was reserved for his sister.
His sister’s Water Attribute superpower had awakened not in combat skills, but in healing skills.
This was rare, as most healing superpowers were Spirit Attribute or Wood Attribute.
It was unheard of for the Water Attribute to awaken healing superpowers until now.
The Speed Type Genetic Species was left for his mother.
His mother was a Speed Type Superpower User, and he planned to help her break through the Genetic Species realm after healing her mental traumas.
This way, even if he were to sacrifice himself during the mission, at the very least, his mother and sister could live well on Yangshan.
"Brother, brother! What’s going on?"
When Xu Huang returned, Xu Lei excitedly grabbed him, asking what happened.
"I was just about to cook when suddenly a group of people claiming to be the Yangshan patrol team came in and wanted to take us to see you."
"Brother, what’s happening?"
Xu Huang looked at his anxious and panicked sister and smiled.
"Little sister, it’s okay, remember what I told you? I promised to let you and mom live in the Yangshan Shelter."
"Look, what’s this!"
With that, he took out the three residential permits.
Xu Lei was taken aback, looked at the permits, and immediately showed a look of surprise.
"Brother, this... this is?"
Xu Huang laughed, "These are Yangshan residential permits. With these, you and mom can live on Yangshan in the future."
"No, it’s not just Yangshan, it’s more comfortable than Yangshan—the Mirage Snake Space!"
"I heard people outside say that when summer comes and the ice and snow melt, the sea level will definitely continue to rise."
"By then, even Yangshan might be submerged."
"At that time, only the Floating Island will be the only place to survive."
"With these residential permits, you and mom can move into the Mirage Snake Space Floating Island in advance."
"There’s no snow or heavy rain inside. I heard it’s like spring all year round, with abundant resources and many pre-apocalypse buildings preserved."
"Once you’re there, you won’t have to worry anymore."
Xu Lei heard these words and couldn’t help but widen her eyes, looking at the residential permit in her hand in disbelief.
"This... is this true? Brother, is this really true?"
"Yes, it is. It even has the Yangshan Leader’s Mansion’s stamp on it, and your and mom’s information has been filled in," Xu Huang chuckled.
Xu Lei immediately let out a cheer, but as soon as she expressed her joy, she suddenly thought of something.
"Brother, how did you get the residential permits? I heard they are very expensive."
Xu Huang fell silent for a moment, then thought it over and decided not to tell her.
About undertaking the mission; he didn’t know if he would ever return.
Telling her would only make her and mother worry about me.
He shook his head slightly and said, "Don’t ask, I have my own way."
"By the way, I also bought the Spiritual Power Recovery Potion. With this, we can treat mom’s mental trauma."
Xu Lei, however, didn’t move and kept staring at her brother Xu Huang. She wasn’t stupid.
Her brother goes out to catch fish every day, and if he can accumulate five hundred Points in a day, it would be considered good. After deducting expenses for food and drink, saving four hundred Points a day would already be considered frugal.
So she was certain that this residence permit could not have been bought by her brother.
Now, not only did her brother have a residence permit, but he had two of them, and had even bought the Spiritual Power Recovery Potion for their mother!
Instinct told Xu Lei that something wasn’t right!
"Brother, tell me, what exactly did you do!"
"These things, there’s no way you can afford them now. What did you do?"
Xu Lei, agitated, grabbed Xu Huang and kept asking.
Xu Huang, seeing that he couldn’t brush off this matter, could only sigh and truthfully explain his situation.
Upon hearing that Xu Huang had taken on such a dangerous task, Xu Lei immediately panicked.
Her eyes reddened, tears welled up, and she immediately stuffed the residence permit back into Xu Huang’s hands.
"Brother, I don’t want to move into the Yangshan Shelter, you should quit this task, tell them you’re not participating anymore."
"Brother, I don’t want you to take on this task. I just want you to stay with us, sobbing..."
Xu Huang sighed and said to his sister, "Little sister, you’ve seen the state of the world, with our abilities, who knows how long we’ll survive outside."
"Now that there’s finally such an opportunity, I can use my life to fight for a future, I can’t just give it up."
"Even if I don’t participate in this task, once the ice and snow melt, we’ll still have nowhere to go, and might die from floods or mutant beast attacks."
"If that happens, wouldn’t our deaths be even more worthless?"
"At least now I can secure a chance for you and mom to survive, right?"
Xu Lei, excited, said, "No, it’s not like that. If so, then I should be the one doing this task."
"You’re a Fire Attribute Superpower User, with excellent combat abilities, you can protect mom better!"
"I should be the one going, let me go!"
Xu Huang shook his head, "Little sister, among Superpower Users, there are too many who are good at fighting. Fighting and killing always end up being at the bottom tier."
"You, as a Healing Superpower User, are a treasure every faction wants."
"In the future, when the major shelters are established, order will definitely stabilize. That’s when the world will be for Superpower Users like you."
"You’re better suited to survive in an orderly environment."
"Say no more, the task rewards have been distributed; there’s no way I can quit."
Xu Huang gently patted his sister’s back, soothing her softly.
Xu Lei sobbed, until their mother’s voice came from inside the room, and she hurriedly stopped crying.
Xu Huang said, "Don’t tell mom yet, okay? If she knows about this, she might not even want to use the Spirit Potion."
Xu Lei nodded tearfully, agreeing reluctantly.
The two entered the room, administered the Spiritual Power Recovery Potion to their mother without telling her.
As the Spiritual Power Potion was used, their mother’s mental trauma indeed began to recover. Usually, she would fall asleep after half an hour of waking up.
This time, she showed no signs of falling asleep!
The whole family was overjoyed, and Xu Huang’s mother also sensed something was off and hurriedly asked what happened.
The siblings lied in unison, covering up the truth.
The day quickly passed, and early the next morning, Xu Huang left a letter and quietly left the house.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw his sister standing there with red-rimmed eyes.
Xu Huang sighed, "Did I wake you?"
"Brother, can’t you not go?" Xu Lei cried.
Xu Huang slightly shook his head, "Tell mom after I leave."
He handed the letter to his sister, then resolutely went out the door.
Upon reaching the laboratory, the other test pilots were already in place.
The various heads of the R&D department had also arrived.
Important figures like Li Hanzhong, Ren Jie, Fu Qibo, Shen Yunxi, etc., were all present.
Seeing them, Xu Huang discovered that these people hadn’t immediately announced the start of the experiment but were waiting for someone.
He quietly inquired with one of his colleagues, Fei Kang, who arrived before him.
Fei Kang whispered, "I heard they’re waiting for Mr. Liang to arrive."
Xu Huang was suddenly taken aback, "Mr. Liang? Which Mr. Liang?"
"Who else would have the R&D department heads waiting respectfully?" Fei Kang said softly.
Mr. Liang’s name was revered throughout Yangshan like a belief.
His deeds were known to all.
The people from the publicity department praised daily the glorious deeds of how Mr. Liang led them out of the building and personally established the Yangshan Shelter.
Even though people like Xu Huang were not from the Yangshan Shelter, they had heard the name frequently.
As everyone waited eagerly, a few figures walked in from outside.
The R&D department leaders all stood up, indicating their welcome.
Xu Huang looked over and saw that the leading figure was tall, with a calm demeanor and an extraordinary presence.
In his heart, he couldn’t help but think, "Is this Mr. Liang?"
