Chapter 23
Departure from the Farm
Fifteen minutes later.
With his wife pregnant, Yang Ding didn't dare to be too rough or aggressive. He knew when to stop and instead spent time chatting with her to cultivate a genuine relationship.
Ye Rou nestled in his arms, obedient and adorable, making it impossible to tell that she was a beautiful young warrior who could deliver a punch with the force of over 300 million pounds.
"Honey, be very careful when you go to the farm tomorrow. Just eat, work, and sleep in the same place. Don't go out. Anyway, you can transfer to the martial arts academy in five days."
"If there's a White Walker attack, take your classmates and run to the roof. Law enforcement officers will come to your rescue."
"Were the attackers at the farm White Walkers?"
Ye Rou nodded and began to teach her husband about the Otherworldly beings.
"A type of underground orc that can walk upright like a human, possesses hard claws, is white all over, can crawl on walls, is not strong in combat, but is intelligent and can fight in groups."
"They can survive without breathing air, and their flesh and blood are an excellent energy supplement for earth and wood type ability users."
"When they get close, they emit a strong earthy smell, similar to earthworms. Your black gold sword can easily kill them."
"Wife, how did this thing end up in Jiangling City?"
Ye Rou sighed with worry, "From Governor Zhou's words, I can clearly feel that the Great Wall in the North is in great danger. If the wall falls, millions of alien beasts will come south, and humanity will once again face annihilation."
After the cataclysmic war, human superhumans built the Great Wall of the North, which is thousands of meters high and 30,000 kilometers long, to keep the alien beasts out of the cold north, while the warm south belonged to humans.
The five great empires of Earth, with a combined force of 100 million awakened warriors, are stationed on this 30,000-kilometer-long Great Wall.
Humans tried to gradually eliminate these creatures through hunting, but the beasts multiplied faster than expected, and even humanoid monsters like the White Walkers appeared.
Yang Ding knew that his wife was worried about her sister again.
"Do you think we could bring our child to live in the North City in the future, so that the whole family can be together and share life and death?"
"Isn't that putting the child in a dangerous area? Jiangling City is located in the far south, so it's easy to retreat south. I can fight in the north. You protect the child, why drag the whole family down with you?"
Ye Rou knew that no matter how strong she was, she couldn't be in two places at once and couldn't protect her husband and several children at the same time.
Yang Ding planned to be honest with his wife when he reached a point where he was no longer afraid of being ambushed. He believed that honesty between husband and wife could improve their compatibility.
At least for now, Ye Rou is a wife who is worth cherishing and trusting.
"Let's talk about it later."
Then Ye Rou told him about Xiang Tianyou, "Be careful of Xiang Bin. He's treacherous and cold-blooded. If he blames you for this and attacks you in the chaos, you'll be in trouble."
"It's alright, I'll come over and explain after I finish eating."
"There's no need for that. We're not afraid of him. Your wife will protect you."
Under normal circumstances, there would be no need for this, but Yang Ding is not normal; he has to make the performance convincing.
If his wife treats him well, he will treat her even better.
Xiang Bin wanted to eliminate him, so he struck first.
This is his life principle.
After dinner, Yang Ding carried two baskets of fruit to the instructors' building of the Institute of Technology and Agriculture.
These days, fruit is a luxury; only the wealthy can afford it. Two baskets of fruit cost over 1,800 yuan.
Yang Ding stood at the door carrying fruit, pacing back and forth for a full hour before going up, wanting to show the instructors coming and going his sincerity.
Xiang Bin has many wives and children, so he lives in a 200-square-meter apartment on the 20th floor, a prime floor.
When he opened the door and saw Yang Ding, he was somewhat surprised; this guy had actually come.
Where's your wife?
My wife is pregnant and is resting at home.
"If your wife doesn't come, you're not sincere. What face do you have? Good luck."
Xiang Bin slammed the door shut.
Yang Ding didn't bother with further formalities, left the fruit at the door, and left.
The play has already reached this point, so it's pretty much done.
The discipline director was at the Xiang family's house at that moment. She didn't dare admit that she had made a stupid mistake that harmed her own nephew. Instead, she said that Ye Rou had gossiped about her to Zhou Ruoxi.
"She said that Tianyou was jealous that Yang Ding married her, so he deliberately challenged him to a fight, hoping to use the opportunity of the battle to openly cripple Yang Ding."
"Damn it, Ye Rou, that bitch!" Xiang Bin cursed. "She's just a greenhorn, yet she dares to play dirty tricks on me. I'll make her a widow."
……
The next morning, he took the ten Qi-nourishing pills his wife had given him, along with the Black Gold Sword, and went to the playground to queue for the bus.
Five hundred trucks carrying pigs were parked on the playground, and fifteen thousand freshmen majoring in pig farming struggled to squeeze onto them.
"This truck can't even carry 30 pigs."
Do you think we're any better than pigs?
"Going there every four months from now on is going to be tough."
"Yang Dingshuang is still the best. He found a good wife and will be going to the martial arts academy next month."
"Can an ordinary person like him pass the test?"
"With the support of powerful figures, ordinary people can also rise to prominence; what we lack is an opportunity."
Yang Ding kept his eyes closed and didn't say anything; it just smelled awful.
Hu Feng was beaten so badly yesterday that he has difficulty standing, but there is no room for him to lie down on the crowded pig transport truck, and he can't even squat down.
Yang Ding secretly slipped him a Qi-Nourishing Pill.
Hu Feng felt guilty. The Peiyuan Pill cost over a thousand yuan a piece, and he was not worthy of eating it at all, as it would affect his good brother's cultivation speed.
But he was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it without taking the Peiyuan Pill.
Five hundred instructors from the pig farming department also went with them; they were better off and could travel by bus.
This was the students' first time leaving the city. When the convoy drove out of the south gate, all they saw was a scene of ruins and broken houses.
There are large shopping malls overgrown with weeds, dilapidated skyscrapers, and collapsed subway tracks; everything is rusty and eerie.
Before the catastrophe, this area was also part of Jiangling City. Later, in order to build city walls, the area of the city was reduced to one-third of its original size.
With the birth rate increasing year by year, the residential density in the city has increased fivefold, and all newly built houses are two hundred stories high, behemoths that can house tens of thousands of people.
Twenty patrol drones from the law enforcement team hovered in the sky.
Two hundred law enforcement officers were on board the drone, tasked with escorting the students safely to the farm.
"Attention all teachers and students, I am Captain Zhao Hu of the 22nd Team of the Jiangling Law Enforcement Bureau, and I am in charge of your security mission this time."
"No matter what happens during the journey, my team members will handle it. The driver is not allowed to stop, and teachers and students are not allowed to jump out of the vehicle without permission."
"I'll emphasize again, if you jump off the vehicle and leave the group, you will bear the consequences yourself, and no one will come looking for you."
Immediately afterwards, the drones spread out, with five scouting ahead, five bringing up the rear, and ten following closely behind the convoy as it moved slowly forward.
