In the next few days, Lin Yi spent most of his time at home, accompanying Liang Ruoxu and the children.

We also went to Zhongwei Brigade several times. Because we brought back a lot of things from the ancient city, the already busy groups 5 to 8 became even busier in an instant.

But all things have their priorities, and the most urgent task now is to decipher the murals on the wall.

Based on past experience, the murals on the wall must contain the most complete cultivation system. Once this information is cracked, the overall strength of the Zhongwei Brigade will be able to reach a higher level, so the priority of this research has been raised.

In addition, Lin Yi also called Ji Qingyan to let her know that he was safe.

But he did not favor one over the other. He also notified other women and video-chatted with them when he had nothing to do. Gradually, Lin Yi adapted to city life.

After resting at home for a few days, Lin Yi went to Lu Beichen as usual.

It was the same old routine, and he bought pure milk, but this time Lu Beichen didn't chase him away. Instead, he welcomed him in and didn't ask him to cook. Instead, he called a chef.

"Thank you for the hard work on this kind of mission. Even I didn't expect it would take this long."

Even after many days, Lu Beichen still felt emotional.

"Didn't you expect us to advance to the ancient city?"

"Indeed, after so many years, to some extent, the mission has been accomplished."

Lu Beichen said, "What you brought back this time is of great research value. All the efforts are worth it."

"Regarding the descendants of the Naxi clan, how is the investigation going? Is there any news?"

"Not yet. They're hiding very deeply, but the more they hide, the better it is for us. It means they're still small and don't dare to make any big moves, so you don't have to worry about them. This is land, and we have an absolute advantage. So, when you go on missions from now on, use live ammunition. This will greatly increase safety. I don't want to see any casualties among you."

"I know, but how did you arrange things on Delia Island? Do we really not need to go there again?"

"From what you said, it seems that you still miss this place." Lu Beichen said with a smile.

"I think the ruins inside might still contain some advanced technology. I can take a look at it as a daily task on the island."

Lu Beichen smiled and said, "Mi Li, that girl, can you go to the island again?"

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, "She really doesn't want me to go, and she even said that she wants me to retire from the army."

"I understand her concerns. You have a son and a daughter now, and you have everything you need. It's understandable that she's worried. But the issue of your discharge is a bit more serious. I plan to assign you to another position, but because of your age, you won't be able to move up in rank. You'll have to wait a few more years."

"Actually, I don't care about this anymore. I'll let my children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

"What kind of bullshit logic is this? This is not the style of your Lin family."

Lu Beichen scolded Lin Yi, "But I can also give you another option. Transferring him to the regular team is a precautionary measure. If Chengcheng doesn't have talent in this area, he can still develop well under your protection."

“That’s also a good option.”

Lu Beichen was smoking a cigarette and keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Lin Yi's eyes and his mood was not very high.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Actually, I'm worried that they might take the initiative, which isn't a good thing." After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Yi said:

"The fact that they can return to the ancient city again means that the items on the murals are very important to them. Now that they know we have taken them, they might come and sabotage us like other organizations. Otherwise, once we master the most orthodox training methods, it will be a major threat to them."

Lu Beichen fell into deep thought, because what Lin Yi said was indeed possible.

Because other organizations have done such things before, and now that they are the descendants of the more powerful Naxi clan, it is naturally very likely that they will do such a thing.

So what we need to do now is to take precautions.

"I've already told them about this. Don't overthink it right now. Take advantage of this time to rest and relax, and then return in top form. That's what you should be doing now."

Lin Yi nodded, raised his glass and clinked it with Lu Beichen.

At around 1:00 p.m., in order not to disturb Lu Beichen's nap, Lin Yi left after eating.

But instead of going home, he went to the Zhongwei Brigade.

Over the years, many of the secrets on the island have been solved, but for Lin Yi, there is still one thing that has not been figured out.

Why do I feel like I am in a fantasy when I see the murals in the ancient city?

And this feeling was not an illusion, because both myself and my father felt it, but no one else was affected.

This is definitely not an illusion, and it is very abnormal. I have thought of many possibilities, but I still can't figure out why.

Arriving at the Zhongwei Brigade, Lin Yi found Chen Zhiyi.

At this moment, his face was greasy, his hair was messy, and he had big dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest for a long time.

"You must be exhausted during this period."

"Don't mention it. I only slept for two hours last night and I've already had three Americanos this morning."

"Thank you for your hard work during this period."

"I'm just complaining to vent my frustration. When it comes to hard work, we can't compare to you." Chen Zhiyi said with a smile:

"We are just a little tired, but you are risking your lives. We can't be compared."

“It’s all about serving the people.”

"You finally have a day off, but instead of resting at home, you come here. Is something wrong?"

"No big deal, I just wanted to ask you about the progress on the mural."

"It's a bit difficult, progress is slow, and it may take some time." Chen Zhiyi looked at Lin Yi:

"You came here just to ask this?"

Lin Yi nodded bluntly, "Because when I see these murals, I have a very strange feeling, but others don't have that feeling, so I want to ask, when you are deciphering the murals, do you feel any discomfort?"

"Not really, everything is normal. Does anyone else feel the same way?"

Lin Yi shook his head. "Only my dad and I feel this way. Everyone else is fine."

“It’s a little strange when you say that, but we didn’t find any problems when we deciphered it.”
