Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 029: Relaxing, and the Arrival of Bandits

Fan Chen went to the river after greeting the people who came. He wanted to come to see his mother who was said to be washing clothes there, but somehow he felt a bad feeling, but I don't know what it was.

"There's nothing wrong, they're near the waterfall." Fan Chen walked towards the green-colored light spot corresponding to the one on the radar.

Until Fan Chen finally arrived at the river, passing through the dark trees, he suddenly heard a screaming sound.

"Yeah!"

Fan Chen looked at the hand that was swinging towards him, it was a slap. He instantly avoided the slap while jumping backwards. He looked at Jia Fefei who was standing with a slightly bent body, hugging his own body which was only wearing underwear.

"Is this a bad feeling? Yeah, maybe!" Fan Chen raised both his hands as if giving up, he stepped towards the riverbank where his mother was sitting while washing clothes.

Yun Mingyue turned around, looking at Fan Chen, she stood up, ran over and hugged him tightly. "Mother's Son."

Fan Chen felt the delicate warm temperature of Yun Mingyue's body, until he realized that his mother was not wearing clothes, there was only a beautiful interior. He raised his hand, hugging Yun Mingyue's waist. "I'm back, sorry I came late, I met Yu'er earlier, I should've gone to Mom."

Yun Mingyue shook her head. "It's okay." He kissed Fan Chen's neck, then forehead, then both cheeks.

Fan Chen did not understand what this kiss was for, but he did not reject it. He opened his mouth wanting to say something, but was interrupted first by Yun Mingyue:

"Since Chen'er has come, please wash all of Mom's clothes there." Yun Mingyue pointed at the plastic tub beside the river, which inside was filled with piles of clothes.

"But ..."

Yun Mingyue withdrew Fan Chen's hand, then pressed down on his shoulder while already on the riverbank, making him to sit down. "Wash it clean, I want to soak."

Fan Chen was stunned to see the river he had built. Yun Mingyue, Fan Xiaoyu, Yi Xuyao, Liu Xuwen, and He Mingmei bathed quietly shamelessly, as if he was not here.

As for Jia Fefei and He Peiyu, the two hid behind a tree with reddened faces.

"Yu 'er! Put on your boss, how can you not wear anything!"

"What harm? This place is a private space, no one can enter here other than us. The sister? It's like Big Brother has never seen Yu'er like this, and one more, Yu'er has seen Big Brother's innocent body recently!"

"Stop!" Fan Chen raised his hand and said, "Don't remind me of that anymore."

It was truly a shameful memory, he still remembered where Fan Xiaoyu was holding her limp weapon, even to the point of shaking it out of curiosity “Kakak, why is this limp? Is Brother sick?”, it really makes him hurt and embarrassed, as if he wants to disappear from the world.

Fan Chen picked up the headphones and played the music as loud as he could not hear Fan Xiaoyu's words anymore. Then he began to focus on washing all kinds of clothes belonging to Yun Mingyue, this was very strange, even though Yun Mingyue was his mother, but still he was not the real Fan Chen.

"The bad feeling was about this, washing clothes."

Fan Chen turned his head left and right, then he saw the pile of clothes belonging to Fan Xiaoyu. On it were two small bottles that were Evolution Fluids. "He just put it down." With a wave of his hand, he stored the Evolution Fluid.

It's very expensive, if it breaks, then he has to go back to collect 2000© to buy it.

Yoke!

Fan Chen looked up at Fan Xiaoyu who was holding the stone while rubbing her aching head. He took off the headphones and asked in annoyance: "What?! Why are you throwing stones at me?"

"Mother called from earlier, but Big Brother didn't hear her at all." Fan Xiaoyu snorted, saying similarly regretfully.

Fan Chen looked at Yun Mingyue.

Yun Mingyue smiled warmly. "The inside of the headquarters is too large, there is still a lot of empty land, is it true that you do not want to build another house?"

Fan Chen pondered for a moment trying to understand, then nodded and replied, "Yes, the base section is a private room. This is the center of command, the residential area will be outside, so I don't want to add any more houses inside. Especially, I feel uncomfortable when someone comes in."

Yun Mingyue was silent for a moment as she looked at all the clothes that were about to be washed. "Chen'er, send a message to Yin Mei to make us lunch. The cuisine of him was very good, even the Nine Dragons Fish Pavilion was nothing."

Fan Chen smiled. Of course Yin Mei's cooking was delicious, and it could continue to improve after having enough experience. If there is Koki★, maybe all dishes have additional effects such as restoring stamina and adding beauty.

"Mom, I'm done." Fan Chen washed his hands, then took off all his clothes, leaving only shorts.

He went into the water to soak, he had not bathed since yesterday, and there was a scent of blood filling his body.

Fan Xiaoyu came from behind, helping to rub Fan Chen's body. "Sister, after Yu'er became the Awakened, Yu'er wanted to go hunting."

"certain." Fan Chen did not want to refuse, even though he was afraid of Fan Xiaoyu for nothing, but if it was forbidden, it might get even sadder.

Fan Xiaoyu was speechless with her mouth slightly open. "It's weird, usually if there's danger, brother always rejects it."

Fan Chen turned to look at Fan Xiaoyu, but his attention was instead sidetracked on the floating chest.

"Sister!" Fan Xiaoyu held Fan Chen's head. "Yu'er is here."

Fan Chen laughed awkwardly as he looked at Fan Xiaoyu's face. "If I reject it, you will most likely be sad, and mess up as you have been."

Fan Xiaoyu snorted in annoyance as she pushed Fan Chen, then stood up and walked towards the riverbank to change clothes.

The others had already finished bathing, leaving Fan Chen alone.

After everyone left, Fan Chen smiled, sprawling himself and floating on the water. He looked at the beautiful blue ceiling. "Yun Mingyue and Fan Xiaoyu. Both are very beautiful, “Fan Chen” is very lucky."

Meanwhile, Yun Mingyue, Yi Xuyao, Liu Xuwen had almost reached the Main Headquarters. The three walked side by side with the children following behind.

Yi Xuyao turned her head to look at Fan Xiaoyu behind, and said to Yun Mingyue. "Your children are very close."

"Yes ..." Yun Mingyue gave a small nod and said, "The two are indeed very close, if standing opposite each other in a public place, no one would think that they are brothers. Once when Yu'er went to a reunion, she took Chen'er, introduced him to her friends that Chen'er was her boyfriend. And vice versa."

Liu Xinmei nodded, and added, "You are also very close to your son. There was not even any shame in embracing her in public, and wearing such clothes just now, it was as if it was commonplace. Both of us, despite having girls, they don't want to be hugged, let alone in public."

Yun Mingyue smiled faintly, but did not say anything. Perhaps if Fan Hongwu was still around, he wouldn't be this close to Fan Chen, but after Fan Hongwu had an accident, he only depended on Fan Chen always listening to all of his stories, he said, listen to all the complaints.

It's strange, in general, that parents should listen to the grievances of a child, but it's the opposite.

"Chen'er and Yu'er are the most precious treasures. If there were no two, I might have long since disappeared following my husband."

Back again to Fan Chen who had just finished soaking. He walked to the edge and picked up the clothes, but the radar let out a sound like a warning. He looked at it, found there was a bunch of red dots coming from behind the cliff, they were leaving quite quickly, and the direction it was heading in was the front.

"Bandits? Let it be, there's a Sniper guarding. If they resist, the Sniper has the authority to shoot directly in the head."

But despite saying so, Fan Chen still wanted to see it head-on. Maybe he can put them under house arrest to get Coin©.

[System Reminder: Human joining must not be hostile, at least neutral to be able to earn Coin© in exchange for recruiting people]

Fan Chen was speechless when he saw this, and there was a hint of annoyance.
