Ch 40: Not Mom, where would a 16-year-old have a child?

“Uh, Mom, I can explain…”

Chen Yi glanced at Xiao Guazi, who could eat even more rice than him, then at the bewildered Yu Yinyin.

“I really didn’t abduct a child…”

Yu Yinyin looked at Xiao Guazi with a smirk, as if she knew something, then showed an aunt-like smile.

“Xiao Yi, the child is so grown up.”

“Where did you find a girlfriend? Why don’t you show me?”

Xiao Guazi was very clever, seeming to understand what Yu Yinyin said. She pointed at Chen Yi with her little finger and said,

“Dad number two.”

Chen Yi’s mouth dropped in shock, his mouth so wide that a watermelon could fit inside. Mom, what kind of words are those coming out of a mother’s mouth?

Hey hey hey, and you little brat, don’t talk nonsense!

“Okay, Mom was just kidding.”

Seeing her child’s embarrassed expression, Yu Yinyin covered her mouth and chuckled.

“Actually, she…”

Chen Yi couldn’t think of a good reason, so he could only say he picked her up on the road; her relatives had passed away, and she was too pitiful, so he had to take her home.

After all, her only relatives were gone.

Yu Yinyin’s maternal love instantly overflowed. She propped her chin and stared blankly at Xiao Guazi. Xiao Guazi was very cute, with fair and tender skin and shiny hair.

The person who loves her the most must have taken great care of her.

“What’s her name?”

Chen Yi touched his chin, raised his head, and rolled his eyes, recalling the previous scene.

“It seems… it seems like it’s Xiao Guazi?”

If Chen Yi remembered correctly, it seemed that her name was Xiao Guazi.

“Xiao Guazi? That’s her name?”

Yu Yinyin lowered her eyelids, her gaze soft. She reached out a slender hand and touched Xiao Guazi’s head. Their family seemed to have one more person, but she sighed inwardly.

“When will we be able to stop living this unsettled life?”

Chen Yi seemed to hear Yu Yinyin’s heartfelt words, and he said lightly,

“Soon, Mom.”

As the camera zoomed out, the four of them were sitting at the dinner table, a warm and happy atmosphere filling the entire thatched cottage.

After a while, Xiao Guazi was sitting on Chen Yi’s shoulders. Her eyes were quite sad, and she looked around listlessly.

“Big Brother, where did Dad and the others go?”

“They?”

“Mmm…”

“They went somewhere very far away.”

Chen Yi told a lie; after all, he was quite good at deceiving little girls.

“Big Brother, I’m not stupid. Are they dead?”

Xiao Guazi’s tone was very despondent. She seemed to have accepted this fact, showing a maturity that didn’t belong to her age group.

Perhaps for her, death might be too difficult to understand; leaving might be better.

“Something like that. They left for something.”

Chen Yi spoke calmly, quietly looking at the kindergarten in the distance.

“We’re here. Contact me if anything happens.”

Chen Yi put Xiao Guazi down, gently stroked her head, and showed a sunny smile.

“Your father and the others wouldn’t want you to be like this. Be optimistic, Xiao Guazi.”

Xiao Guazi looked up at Chen Yi. She knew that Chen Yi was the one who saved her at that time; he was a good person.

Xiao Guazi didn’t reject Chen Yi’s touch, but instead tilted her head, made a cute face, and then ran inside, ignoring Chen Yi’s words.

“Older Brother, I want to ride on your head too…”

Feili’s sly voice came, and Chen Yi’s forehead darkened. Why did it feel like Feili was heading in a bad direction?

“Where did you learn that?”

“Older Brother, I’m serious.”

“That’s still not allowed.”

Chen Yi sighed inwardly. You sit? You’d sit on a big ghost’s head! You’d be half-dead if you sat on there!

Chen Yi looked towards the site of last night’s battle. The ruins had already begun to be rebuilt, and at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it would be restored to its original state tomorrow. That’s Hua Country’s infrastructure.

But Chen Yi hoped that such incidents would happen less often.

HUT Defense Force Headquarters

Yang Xuan sat in his office, the electronic clock ticking. He sat in his chair, frowning and constantly sighing, not knowing what he was thinking about.

That Leo, and that monster, had disappeared. They didn’t know the details of the final battle, but energy detection showed that the Beast King had indeed disappeared.

This was good news; the bad news was, Leo could actually eliminate the Beast King?

A mecha with such terrifying power was definitely an uncontrollable factor.

It had the power to destroy a nation. What if Leo attacked Hua Country? Then they could only wait to die.

“Knock knock.”

Qi Lu opened the door and walked in. He transferred the data into Yang Xuan’s Crystal Core, his gaze slightly questioning.

“Captain, aren’t we reporting this?”

Yang Xuan shook his head, gently waving his hand, carefully examining the contents of the data. How to report? By mouth?

The videos of that battle were all lost. No matter what, they wouldn’t believe that there was a Level 13 monster there, and that Xingyun City remained intact.

“Quantum Ion High-Energy Barrier!?”

“Irregular Chip!”

“Beast-Slaying Blade HYT, Stage Two version.”

“Energy-Charging Giant Cannon!”

“Bang!”

“And the higher-level route for SP+ mecha!?”

Yang Xuan slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly. He frowned, carefully examining each piece of data before showing a relaxed smile.

“What’s wrong?”

Qi Lu took a few steps back in fright, thinking that Yang Xuan had some serious illness.

Yang Xuan smiled happily, transferring the data in his hand to Qi Lu. Qi Lu took it, opened it, and was instantly speechless in shock.

“Quantum Ion High-Energy Barrier, can block the Resonance Impact of Level 11 monsters and below. Each mecha above Stage Five can be equipped at any time, limited to monster defense.”

“What!?”

Qi Lu stared at this piece of information, stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

“Don’t worry, look at the next few.”

Yang Xuan propped his chin with both hands. The counterattack of humanity was coming; the research on the Mother Stone had made new breakthroughs.

“Irregular Chip, can shield each mecha from the interference of monster magnetic fields, has energy prediction, and can further update the Sky Eye Magic Network.”

This means that they no longer need to worry about magnetic field problems, and their eyes can cover the entire country, no longer needing to worry about the sudden appearance of monsters.”

The next three were even more terrifying: Beast-Slaying Blade HYT, Stage Two.

“Ignores the defense of Level 8 monsters and below, using ultra-high-frequency vibrations to resonate with the monster’s body, thereby cutting the monster.”

“Wow.”

Qi Lu gasped, incredulously looking at all this.

“Energy-Charging Giant Cannon!?”

“Can instantly kill Level 2 monsters and below; adaptable to each mecha.”

The Energy-Charging Giant Cannon meant that ordinary people’s mechas could also use this weapon, meaning that Hua Country’s comprehensive strength had risen to a new level.

If this were the case, those abandoned cities could definitely be reclaimed and rebuilt!

“Higher-level route for SP+ mecha?”

Qi Lu was shocked, shaking his head as he looked at this piece of information. He could believe anything, but this one he really couldn’t believe.

And the fact that they dared to release this information proved that the higher-level route for SP+ mechas had probably already been researched, and the next one was also underway.
