Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Page 127

After waiting for a long time without seeing any movement from the enemy, the captain was completely baffled. Had the enemy's shell accidentally detonated? How come it exploded here and then there was no further movement?

"Boss! There's footsteps!"

At this moment, a Hafk soldier standing nearby hurriedly reminded them that, if he hadn't misheard, he seemed to hear heavy footsteps behind them.

Deep Blue: Hehe, that's right, it's me.

When the few Hafk soldiers turned around, they saw a fully armed team appear in their field of vision.

"Roy, Red Wolf."

After Deep Blue called out the names of the two men, Roy and Red Wolf threw two smoke grenades at the soldiers in succession.

"Wh...what's going on? Why are they coming from the manor? Damn it, I can't see clearly!"

As the smoke exploded, the group's vision was completely blocked. They quickly formed a circle back to back, and then, under the captain's command, they began to fire wildly into the air.

"Captain, I hit it! Wait, that sound is... Ugh!!!"

A Hafk soldier heard a sound of being struck in front of him and was about to speak with surprise when he realized that the sound was not the sound of being struck. Before he could react, a huge shield appeared in front of them.

Goodnight, brothers!

After watching Deep Blue walk into the smoke with his shield, Roy thoughtfully wished the group a good night's sleep.

"Hiss~~~ You know, Xiao Hao usually likes to secretly play on his phone at night. If Shen Lan did this to him, would Xiao Hao be able to go to bed on time every night?"

Wei Long also recalled how the soldiers in the manor had drifted off to sleep peacefully under Shen Lan's "gentle" comforting words, and immediately thought of Xiao Hao, who usually liked to stay up late looking at his phone.

"No, Brother Weilong. I'd much rather fall asleep on my own. Besides, you're always the one who gets up in the middle of the night to sneak food and catch me, aren't you? You don't sleep at night either."

Hearing this through his earpiece, Zhang Hao felt a chill run down his spine. This Brother Weilong was cunning and wicked. Besides, he didn't need Uncle Shenlan's help at all. If he wanted, he could just tell 9527 and spend a few points to get a baby-like sleep.

"Oh? Does Weilong often get up in the middle of the night to eat? Looks like I haven't been taking good care of him. Weilong, how about this, I'll come back and give you a special 'extra meal'?"

After dealing with those soldiers, Deep Blue also took the time to retort.

Wei Long: Thank you, but I can't afford to add this meal! o(TヘTo)

Chapter 312 Manor Operation (4)

After dealing with the "accident scene," Deep Blue and the others returned to the place where they had agreed to meet Uluru.

"Hey Xiaowen, I suddenly realized that those two bomb-themed miniature planes you brought this time seem to have been completely useless! Looks like you still need to go and learn from Uluru!"

Looking at Uluru, who was excitedly telling them how awesome his loitering missile was, Wei Long immediately triggered his mischievous gene and turned to Mai Xiaowen to tease her.

"Pah! Wang Yuhao, you'd better talk to me properly. My bomb plane is an upgraded version of a loitering munition, don't you know that? You uncultured babbling on and on."

Upon hearing this, Mai Xiaowen immediately flew into a rage. Good grief, Mai Xiaowen could laugh it off if he said his skills were lacking, after all, Wei Long's penchant for being sarcastic was an old habit of his. But now he actually dared to say that his bomb plane was no good? Well then, Mai Xiaowen was going to get serious about this.

"Um...you can talk to Xiaohao about this. I graduated from a prestigious university, you know. On paper, I'm better than you. Besides, Uluru is a PhD in chemical engineering, okay? Is it so hard to admit that he's better?"

But seeing Mai Xiaowen's fur standing on end, Wei Long was suddenly seized by a playful impulse and continued his reckless and shameless antics, provoking Mai Xiaowen once more.

Upon hearing this, Uluru said: "Yes, yes, that's right. From now on, you'll all have to call me Dr. Uluru, you know? I'm a high-tech person, okay? It's just that I look too much like a soldier."

Zhang Hao: Okay, I never expected that I would be betrayed by my most trusted brother, Wei Long. What do you mean by saying I'm all talk? I just have a bit of an allergy when it comes to studying. Why don't you talk about my sniping skills or something?

"Very good, Wang Yuhao, you're very good. Just wait and see when you get back. If you can eat even a little bit of chili in the days to come, I'll send Roy to your room and let you eat tofu without any spice or chili every day. As for the beer duck that Xiaohao is preparing, you'll be lucky if you can even taste a little bit of spice."

After saying that, Mai Xiaowen didn't give Weilong a chance to beg for mercy and walked directly towards the car.

Wei Long: It's amazing!!! My Mapo Tofu, and beer-braised duck that I've never tried before, no!!!

Zhang Hao, who was packing up with Luna on the hillside in the distance, added:

"Brother Weilong, when we get back I'll treat you to authentic Guangdong herbal tea every day. Don't thank me, it's just a kind gesture from me, you can't possibly let me down, can you?"

Wei Long: Oh dear, I forgot to turn off my headset microphone when I was talking earlier, Xiao Hao, I was wrong, Xiao Hao, you can't do this to me.

However, it was clear that Wei Long's words successfully ignited Zhang Hao and Mai Xiaowen's anger. The two of them formed an alliance without any discussion and vowed to teach Wei Long a lesson about his daily lifestyle.

"Hehehe, Weilong, you have to be strong! It's just that we don't have any chili peppers to eat. It's okay. I'll let you try some of the specialties from my hometown. I guarantee you'll feel even worse after you eat them, hahaha!"

Seeing Veyron frozen in place, Roy and Red Wolf chuckled and lifted him onto the car from either side. They never expected that the usually lawless Veyron would be punished today!

Roy felt that his luck had definitely improved these past few days. He knew that he was always the one getting beaten up and humiliated before, but after that pool incident, Wei Long had now joined him in getting beaten up and humiliated, and even seemed to be surpassing him.

After all, even if he was bold, he could only tease Xiao Hao at most. Now, he wouldn't dare to provoke people like Mai Xiaowen or Luna.

What? You mean Zoya? Are you kidding me? Right now, everyone in the Special Operations Department knows that besides Shenlan and Xiaohao, Zoya has the most influence.

Especially after Roy was thoroughly taught a lesson by her two top henchmen, he became completely obedient. In front of Zoya, as long as she rolled her eyes at Roy, Roy would hold his head and tremble for a long time.

Red Wolf: Luckily, I'm honest and don't mess with them. Looking at it this way, I'm practically a genius!

After picking up Zhang Hao and Luna, the group sped back to the Special Operations Unit.

"Hey, you're back! Old Deng, I'm starving! Get us some midnight snacks!"

After seeing Shenlan and the others return safely, Zoya, who was lying on the chair eating potato chips, stood up and urged Shenlan to get them something to fill their stomachs.

"Okay, you guys wait here. I'll go make something to eat. Mai Xiaowen, check if this computer still works later. If it's okay, I'll have someone come and pick it up tomorrow."

After Shen Lan finished speaking, he took off his hat, skillfully tied his apron, and walked towards the kitchen. When Terry and Zhang Hao saw this, they also went in to help.

The others who were still at the scene went about their own business. For example, Wei Long was carried upstairs by Roy and Red Wolf, who were laughing so hard they could barely stand it, and then thrown back into his own room.

"Hahaha, I never thought Weilong would end up like this. Did you see his expression when he heard Xiaohao say he would make him herbal tea every day? Hahaha."

At this point, Red Wolf was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight. There was no way he could help; the moment Roy and Red Wolf took off his helmet, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Because at this moment, Wei Long, who had lost his soul, was staring blankly ahead with a lifeless and dazed expression, Roy, who had always been suppressed by him, couldn't help but burst into laughter and leaned against the door frame, laughing wildly.

Red Wolf, too, couldn't stop laughing at Roy's infectious laughter.

"What happened? Are you guys having so much fun doing a mission?"

The rest of the people sat on the sofa waiting for their meal. Zoya looked up at the laughter coming from above and asked a question.

"Sigh, it's all Wei Long's own doing. This is just a small punishment."

Mai Xiaowen waved her hand dismissively. What do you call this? He brought it on himself. Besides, this Weilong guy has been following Luo Yi's bad ways lately, acting silly and annoying in front of her every day. It's time to teach him a lesson.

Mai Xiaowen: Besides, in the Special Operations Department, don't you even know who was teaching Xiao Hao before? Take a good look, it was me!

Chapter 313 What! Sweet talk?

After dinner, Mai Xiaowen took the computer back to check if it was still working properly. If it was, she said she wouldn't mind copying an extra copy of the data for Shenlan.

Of course, if it breaks, Mai Xiaowen said it's not a problem. Simply put, since this is a document that GTI's top management values ​​so much, Mai Xiaowen has to take a good look at it.

Zhang Hao, using the excuse of needing a good rest, "righteously" rejected Luna and Zoya's wicked idea of ​​capturing him to be used as a body pillow.

Zhang Hao: What a joke! I finally finished the mission and have nothing to do. I don't even want to think about becoming a body pillow or anything like that. Tonight I'm going to have a blast!

Wei Long: Look, look, I told you, internet addicts like Xiao Hao should be taught a lesson by Shen Lan. These people always like to bully me and Luo Yi. Ugh... wait, I don't think I've recovered yet. I'm going back to my room to be emo.

After Zhang Hao returned to his room, a message from [Zero] popped up on his phone.

[Zero]: You went to Audrey's estate today? What were you doing there?

When Zhang Hao saw the messages from [Zero], he was completely dumbfounded. Dude, aren't they cracking down on cheating these days? How come you're blatantly using cheats without saying a word? If you had just told me you were cheating, why would I have put you in Rometheus's guild to level up?

If X-ray vision really existed, then Rometheus would be utterly useless. No matter how powerful he was, could he possibly be more powerful than a genius teenager who simply had cheat codes?!

Zhang Hao: No? How did you know we went to Audrey's manor today? Are there still people inside who haven't been discovered? But that's impossible, right? Sister Luna's scout arrow swept through the area!

At this moment, Zhang Hao really wanted to run straight to Luna's room and confront her. She always told him that there were no secrets under her arrows, but were there really no secrets? Zhang Hao felt that Luna's arrows were full of secrets!

[Zero]: No, there's no one inside. The Blue Eagle team just happened to see you guys while patrolling the Asara region today, but you didn't notice because they were flying too high. Don't worry, I'll force Rometheus not to give the videos Black Hawk recorded to Demulan by threatening to sever ties with him.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao was so moved that he almost burst into tears. This guy was really a good friend. He actually used himself to threaten Rometheus in order to protect him.

Although Zhang Hao felt that even if [Zero] didn't blackmail him, Rometheus probably wouldn't voluntarily show the video to Demulan, based on Zhang Hao's understanding of Rometheus.

There's a high probability that, to avoid trouble and make things easier for himself, he'll simply say he didn't see anything.

Rometheus: Hehehe, Xiao Hao, you have a good eye for people. But if that old hag Demulan shamelessly comes to me with the North Star, then I can only apologize to you.

Moreover, Zhang Hao never expected that the Blue Eagle squad, which liked to loiter on the streets of Asara, would just happen to run into them while they were on a mission, and even catch them red-handed while they were doing something "bad".

Fortunately, Rometheus and his group discovered them, and Zhang Hao quickly replied:

Zhang Hao: It's so great to have you! You really are my good buddy. I'll come visit you in a few days. Remember to tell Uncle Rometheus when you do!

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, after seeing Zhang Hao's reply, Zero also began to flip through the thick book next to him, "How a Hesitant Person Should Communicate with Others," which he had asked Ella for.

When Ella learned that Zero actually wanted to read this type of book, she excitedly ran to find Rometheus, who was still conducting experiments. A few seconds later, the two eccentric people appeared in front of Zero like ghosts.

"Oh my God! I never imagined you, Zero, would grow up so fast. I'm so proud of you."

"I don't recognize you. Get out of my way. Does Ella have any books like that? Xiao Hao told me to go and take a look."

However, Rometheus was completely absorbed in his own world at the time and did not see that Zero was already showing impatience towards him, and continued to chatter incessantly in Zero's ear.

Finally, Zero, unable to bear it any longer, seemed to be possessed by the deep blue spirit and thoughtfully gifted Rometheus a special "sleep-inducing package" for a grown-up.

Now, upon hearing Zhang Hao's words, the rather human-like Zero picked up the very thick book and began to flip through it.

[Zero]: This is what I should do, my darling. Do you remember the remaining quarter? That represents that I will protect you for the rest of my life.

Although it sounded a bit strange to follow what the book taught, Zero, who was too lazy to think about it carefully, simply sent over this passage that was extremely easy to misunderstand.

Just as Zhang Hao heard his phone notification and was about to check the message, Mai Xiaowen, who had copied the file and handed it to Shenlan, barged in.

"Wuhu, Xiaohao, what are you doing? Tch, you didn't take off your clothes, how come you've already finished showering? Xiaohao's original clothes are gone."

Zhang Hao: No, Xiaowen! What are you so disappointed about?! Get back to normal!

Mai Xiaowen then casually snatched the phone from Zhang Hao's hand and joked:

"Looking like there are no more quests and you want to stay up all night again, huh? Come on, let me see what level you are now?"

But before Zhang Hao could say that he was still chatting with [Zero], Mai Xiaowen had already skillfully unlocked Zhang Hao's phone and started looking at it.

And now, Mai Xiaowen inevitably saw the message that [Zero] sent to Zhang Hao with his extremely high "emotional intelligence".

Zhang Hao sat on the bed watching Mai Xiaowen perform an authentic Sichuan opera face-changing act for him. As Mai Xiaowen's smile vanished in just a second, transforming into a fighting expression, Zhang Hao felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

Zhang Hao: Ugh... What's with this heart palpitation? Why do I always have this ominous feeling? But I don't think I've done anything to offend Sister Xiaowen, have I?

【Zero】: Hmm, you certainly didn't offend your Xiaowen sister, but as the son of Hafk Lezi, I can't say for sure! (●'?'●)

Chapter 314 Even with me by his side, he still goes out and flirts with other women.

Seeing Mai Xiaowen's increasingly gloomy face, Zhang Hao also realized that something was wrong.

Seeing Xiaowen's expression like that usually... it seems like I never have a good ending. Could it be that [Zero] sent me something bad?

But isn't [Zero] a bot? Could it possibly send itself sweet nothings or something? That's hilarious! Unless Rometheus is hijacking the account, how could such an absurd possibility exist?

"Xiaowen... what's wrong? Are you... alright?"

Although Zhang Hao did think so, looking at Mai Xiaowen who was clearly about to go into a rage, he was completely confused. Could it be that he had actually guessed right? But that was just a wild guess! Besides, [Zero] didn't seem like the type of person to say such things at all!

[Zero]: Why aren't you saying anything? Isn't this enough? Don't worry, Xiao Hao, I'll keep learning and try my best to satisfy you next time.

Mai Xiaowen: It's getting dark, now it's time to hunt! (╬▔皿▔)╯

Mai Xiaowen slammed her phone down in front of Zhang Hao, who was looking completely stunned, and said coldly:

"Take a good look at this first, then explain to me what's going on. If you can't explain it clearly... well, I might as well commit a crime tonight!"

Upon hearing Mai Xiaowen's words, Zhang Hao quickly picked up his phone to read the contents.

After reading the two short sentences [Zero] sent him, Zhang Hao froze on the bed. Whose phone is this? Who sent him this message?! He's completely innocent!

How could this "Zero" type such an outrageous statement with just two fingers?! He even said he'd definitely satisfy himself next time—when did he ever say he wasn't satisfied?!

Especially that last sentence completely shattered Zhang Hao. At this moment, he knew that even if he tried his best to explain to Sister Xiaowen, not to mention whether Sister Xiaowen would believe him, even Zhang Hao himself wouldn't believe that the two of them had no relationship!

With a trembling hand, Zhang Hao used his last bit of strength to type out a message saying "I'll talk to you tomorrow," then placed his phone, now black, beside him with a look of despair. He then lowered his head and began to explain to Mai Xiaowen.

"Hey Xiaowen, don't disbelieve what I'm about to say, okay? It might sound really fantastical, but it's all true!"

Mai Xiaowen simply snorted coldly and said nothing.

But the more this happened, the more pressure Mai Xiaowen put on Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao stammered as he began to explain that he had previously asked "Zero" to read more books to increase emotional intelligence.

"So, Sister Xiaowen, I really, really suspect that this guy, [Zero], must have read some bad books to say these things to me. You have to believe me, Sister Xiaowen."
