Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 522 - Chapter 522 Chapter 523 To Send Away or To Keep

Chapter 522: Chapter 523: To Send Away or To Keep Chapter 522: Chapter 523: To Send Away or To Keep This matter is quite special, and the leaders at the border post are discussing how to handle it.

The weapons that Tang Zelin and his team brought back from inside the base have also been handed over to them for research.

As it stands now, the risk level at the border may increase.

Tang Zelin couldn’t be sure whether the changes at the base were due to its inherent nature, the result of their sudden appearance, or if there was yet another possibility.

Could the deputy director and Li Banzha, whom they had not found, still be inside the base?

There is currently no new update on the Alien situation.

Wait and see.

After having breakfast with Su Shu, Tang Zelin went to the command post for a meeting.

As someone who had been in close contact with the base, the leaders couldn’t possibly ignore him.

It just so happened that he also wanted to find out about the current state of the border, as their City C was also a border city, albeit a distance from the Northern Border.

If the defensive line here were to collapse, then their location would become the most dangerous.

They spent the whole morning in meetings, as well as constantly monitoring the situation at the experimental base.

On the other hand, after finishing her meal, Su Shu paid a visit to Old Peng.

Old Peng was very happy to see her.

“Where’s Xiaotang?”

Hearing others call Tang Zelin ‘Xiaotang,’ Su Shu found it particularly novel, as Qu Guo’an was used to calling him ‘Old Tang’ every day.

She smiled and said, “It seems he’s gone to the command post for a meeting.”

“Mm, that makes sense, he must be quite busy.”

It made sense that they would want to inquire after coming from there, the border troops would definitely want to ask.

Old Peng didn’t continue the conversation and beckoned Su Shu over to help shuck corn.

Surprised, Su Shu asked, “Old Peng, this thing?”

Old Peng smiled and responded, “Unexpected, right? I didn’t expect it myself, don’t know where it came from.”

“How do we eat this?” Su Shu sat down beside him and joined in the work.

As Old Peng worked, he discussed, “The children, from what I gather, are planned to be sent back. It seems arrangements are being made. Girl, what about you?”

“Me?”

What about her?

“Will you stay here, or will you follow the logistical staff to retreat further down?”

Only then did Su Shu realize that Old Peng was probing for information.

As an old man like Old Peng with keen eyes and a calm mind, staying here for a while, he probably had realized something. Information about whether Tang Zelin, as a soldier, would return or stay was of great importance.

Old Peng probably wanted to know just how severe the problems were at the Northern Border.

However, since Tang Zelin hadn’t returned from the meeting, she was also not clear on his final thoughts, so she couldn’t share too much with Old Peng.

Seeing her reaction, Old Peng nodded, apparently understanding somewhat.

However, Su Shu didn’t expect that the border troops would be considering sending the children back so quickly.

Yet, she furrowed her brows slightly.

Even though a safe zone had been established in Province E, these children had been orphans even before they left the Peng Mountain Region.

The orphanage there had been destroyed in a fire, and among these six children, Lu Tong, in particular, was supposed to be taken to City C by her and Tang Zelin. After all, they had promised Yao Ke to help look after him, so naturally, Lu Tong would go with them when they left.

But what about the other five children?

Was it really necessary to send them back?

Her question was the very issue Old Peng was contemplating.

Having lived all his life, he viewed birth, aging, sickness, and death with equanimity, yet he always felt a soft spot in his heart for these young children and couldn’t help but feel tender toward these little ones.
