Chapter 19 Reunion and Waiting
Wu Dong drove all the way to the port, but found that the port passenger transport hall was crowded with people. Compared with the New Year and the passenger volume during the holidays!
When Wu Dong saw this situation, he immediately understood the reason. It was obvious that after the Galaxy government made the situation of the universe war public, many people were no longer interested in working and wanted to go home to reunite with their families. Just like Wu Dong himself, he wanted to have a reunion dinner with his family before he died. In this way, passenger traffic must suddenly increase.
The passenger transport hall was crowded with people. Wu Dong followed the crowd and finally got close to the ticket gate, but the ticket seller told him that there was no ticket to the 046th artificial island.
Moreover, not only today's tickets are gone, but even tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, if you want to tickets, you have to buy a ticket to the 046th Man-made Island three days later. In addition, passenger ships are not responsible for cargo spaces for cars now, and large cargo is not allowed to be on board, even if you add money, it is not enough.
Wu Dong had no intention of giving up the car. The car he drove from the Northeast Military Region was transformed by him for personal gain by the military experts. It is not only bulletproof, but also has many unique and violent functions, which is equivalent to a small fortress!
Wu Dong must have driven the fortress chariot home, one to like this car, and the other to deal with aliens who are about to invade the earth. With this fortress chariot, the family will have the minimum self-protection ability. Even if they cannot escape death, they will have to kill a few more aliens, earn enough money and die as much as possible.
Now, not only is the shipping ticket difficult to buy, but there is no cargo space, so the modified car cannot be taken home. This is not the ending that Wu Dong wants.
Wu Dong's first idea was to use the privileges of the major general and forcefully collect the cargo space. However, after thinking about it, he gave up this idea. After thinking about it, he simply decided not to take the boat and drove home by himself!
After Wu Dong made up his mind, he drove his car and plunged into the sea. He did this not to commit suicide, but because his car belonged to a multi-functional chariot in land, sea and air. Except for not being able to drive in space and deep sea, no other place could block its road.
In the next few days, Wu Dong drove on the sea at a speed of 1 knot, which is one nautical mile per hour. At this speed, it only takes about 2 days for him to reach the 046th artificial island from the Northeast Military Port Terminal, but this is just an ideal idea. In fact, Wu Dong drove on the sea for six and a half days before he successfully arrived at his destination.
When Wu Dong drove the car from the road to the 046th Man-made Island, he had been hungry for several days. Although his body had sufficient biological energy and he could not starve to death, he was suffering from hungry stomach cramps and was very sad.
Just as he boarded the island, Wu Dong didn't bother to go home. He first found a vending machine, bought a loaf of bread, a ham sausage and a bottle of mineral water, and then ate and drank a lot.
"I miscalculated it, the navigation system is unreliable. The gap between theory and practice is so big that I almost got lost at sea. Fortunately, I finally came back alive." Wu Dong muttered while eating and drinking.
…………
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Dong knocked on the door of his house.
"Who?" A tender voice sounded inside the door.
"..." Wu Qing heard something was wrong, as if it was not the voice of his mother Hu Xiuxiu, but the voice of a little girl, but he was sure that he had never walked through the wrong door, so he spoke, "I am Wu Dong, who are you?"
"I, Minmin, ah, my name is Chengmin, who are you?" said the tender voice inside the door.
"...I'm Wu Dong, I live here. Open the door. Does Hu Xiuxiu live here?" Wu Dong said a little loudly.
"Who is Hu Xiuxiu? Ah! I understand, please look for my cousin! Cousin, cousin, someone is looking for it!" The little girl's random shouting sounded inside the door.
Wu Dong showed a puzzled expression on his face and muttered: "Who is this?"
A moment later, the door suddenly opened and Hu Xiuxiu appeared in front of Wu Dong. When Hu Xiuxiu saw Wu Dong outside the door, she said in disbelief and puzzled: "A Dong?"
No wonder Hu Xiuxiu was unbelievable and confused. First, Wu Dong did not inform his mother Hu Xiuxiu of his return. Second, Wu Dong's image was a bit indecent at this time, and there was no problem with his dress. However, Wu Dong's face was full of stubbornness, which made his face a little vicissitudes and sloppy, which was very different from his previous image.
Wu Dong showed a big smile and said, "Mom, I'm back."
…………
Wu Dong entered the house, put his luggage aside, glanced at the little girl sitting on the sofa and was observing him, and couldn't help asking, "Mom, whose child is this?"
"Ah, this is... my aunt's child, you should call me, yes, call me, grandma, the child of your aunt's child." Hu Xiuxiu said.
"My aunt? I'm still an aunt?" Wu Dong turned his head and looked at the little girl, then hesitated: "Since it's my aunt's child, then I want to call this child..."
"Hahaha..." Hu Xiuxiu suddenly laughed and said, "This child is my cousin, you have to call her cousin aunt."
"...How old is she?" Wu Dong asked with a distorted face.
"Haha, she is six years old, so smart." Hu Xiuxiu said.
"Cousin, cousin, who is he?" the little girl asked with big eyes blinking.
"He, hehe, he is your nephew, ah, no, it should be a cousin, no, ah, right, it is a cousin, hahaha." Hu Xiuxiu said with some confusion.
"It's beyond three generations? No need to count as seniority, right?" Wu Dong said with a bitter face.
"No, it happens to be the third generation, and the seniority cannot be messed up." Hu Xiuxiu said.
"Grandma's generation, grandma and aunt are the second generation, you and this little cousin are the third generation, I am the fourth generation, this has passed the third generation," Wu Dong argued.
"Don't talk nonsense! Go and wash and see what you look like, your beard is unshaven, like a coal digging. Go and take a shower and shave your beard." Hu Xiuxiu drove him away.
…………
In the evening, Wu Dong's house was placing a banquet to wash Wu Dong's dust. At the table were Wu Dong and Hu Xiuxiu, Wu Dong's childhood friend Ma Feng, Wu Dong's aunt Kang Chengmei and cousin Cheng Min.
After some washing up, Wu Dong's beard fell off and his face was white and clean. He no longer looked like an unemployed uncle, but became a gentle young man.
The dust banquet started, Hu Xiuxiu and Kang Chengmei chatted about family matters between Cheng Min, while Wu Dong and Ma Feng sat side by side. Over the years, although the two have not been in contact, they have not met for a long time. When they meet at this time, they can't help but feel a little change of time.
Wu Dong just came back today, and Ma Feng came back not long ago. Compared to Wu Dong working in the rear staff, Ma Feng went to the front line and experienced the space war. He saw his comrades' warships being blown up with his own eyes. The experience of losing his life at any time made him mature a lot at once, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
"What's going on the island now? Nothing is going on?" Wu Dong asked.
"It's OK at the moment. You know, our island was originally a military base, and now all living on the island are soldiers and military families. There is no problem with discipline, no one makes trouble, and there has been no demonstrations." Ma Feng stopped speaking, drank a glass of wine, and then said worriedly: "I have a feeling that maybe we will start to mess up first before the aliens arrive on Earth."
Wu Dong felt as if Ma Feng was obscure as a mirror. When he was in the General Staff, he received various information and knew very well about the situation around the world. Ma Feng’s so-called chaos first was caused by a large number of wealthy businessmen and senior officials fleeing in spacecraft. Because of this reason, the Galaxy government has been dead in name only and may fall apart at any time.
Wu Dong and Ma Feng were both silent for a moment, then Ma Feng asked, "What are your plans?"
Wu Dong did not answer, but looked at Ma Feng and asked, "What about you? What are you going to do with Uncle Ma?"
"...My dad said he couldn't escape. The entire solar system was blocked by cosmic pirates. The chance of successful escape is to die for life. It's better to stay on Earth than to stay on Earth." Ma Feng said.
Wu Dong picked up the wine cup, killed the hot white wine in one gulp, and said, "Uncle Ma is right. In this case, he can only stay on the earth. The purpose of those pirates in the universe is the earth, and the intact earth, so they will never dare to use destructive weapons on the earth. Moreover, if we are forced to force us to the extreme, we would rather die together and blow the earth up than leave the earth to those aliens."
Ma Feng nodded gently and then said, "By the way, my dad wants to see you, but he is busy now and must stay in the military camp to prevent chaos. So, you have to go tomorrow."
Wu Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
In fact, Wu Dong already understood that Ma Feng and Ma Tashan meant nothing more than recruitment. Wu Dong is now an absolute rare military talent. Moreover, Wu Dong belongs to Ma Tashan's sons and nephews, and can be said to be his own people. In this way, Ma Tashan must of course pull Wu Dong into his own military camp. This can not only increase the military power on the 046th man-made island, but also consolidate Ma Tashan's military status on the island.
The atmosphere was a bit dull when a meal was filled with dust. No one wanted to liven up the atmosphere, because this dull atmosphere was very consistent with the current situation.
After dinner, Ma Feng said goodbye, and Kang Chengmei also took the little girl Cheng Min away. Hu Xiuxiu cleaned up the dishes silently, while Wu Dong sat in front of the TV, smoking while watching the news, but his mind was thinking about how to arm the 046th artificial island.
After a while, Hu Xiuxiu finished packing up the dishes, walked to the sofa and sat down, and said, "Adong, is our earth really going to be finished?"
"...Mom, don't worry, there will always be a solution before the end of your life." Wu Dong said.
"Oh, stop fooling mom. I can hear clearly when you were talking to Xiaofeng just now." Hu Xiuxiu sighed and continued: "Now, every household on the street wears mourning... Fortunately, you are back."
Hu Xiuxiu stopped talking, with a faint sadness on her face, and said, "If it is really time to ask her to leave first, I don't want to mourn you, do you know?"
Wu Dong was silent for a moment, then pressed the cigarette butt in the ashtray and put it out, stood up and said, "I'm tired, go and rest first."
