Armor: I can only summon the general

Chapter 786: Too much ambition but not enough strength

Bei Miao's adoptive father Zhang Zhentao stood quietly beside the dining table, watching his son Bei Miao leave.

As a father, he was heartbroken to see his son fall into a deadly situation, but he did not say anything to stop him. As he himself said, this is the fate of the descendants of Guangying Village.

When Bei Miao completely disappeared from Zhang's father's sight, he sighed heavily again, raised his hand to rub his face, and put on a very businesslike smile.

The son has made up his mind to leave, but his wife and daughter are still waiting for him.

Today is my daughter’s birthday party. It should have been a day for a happy family reunion, but it turned out like this. I feel an inexplicable sadness.

Father Zhang turned his head to look in the direction his son left, took a deep breath to cheer himself up, then turned and walked towards the back hall.

When he arrived at the door and opened it, he saw his wife and his daughter opening gifts, with the housekeeper and the maid surrounding them.

Xiaoxi was happily opening the last gift box. The first two boxes contained some small gadgets, stationery and accessories, but the last box was very big, which might contain different things.

Before the box was opened, Zhang's father pushed the door and walked in.

"My dear daughter, how about the gift your uncle Liu sent you? Do you like it?"

When Xiaoxi saw her father coming in, she threw the box away, jumped off the sofa and threw herself into her father's arms. Father Zhang picked up his daughter.

"Dad, the gift Uncle Liu gave me is too boring. I don't like shiny things. These things should be given to Brother Xinnan. He is the most boring person and he will definitely like them."

Father Zhang listened to his daughter complaining to him with a smile, and glanced down at the things on the table.

The pen, headband, necklace, and small camera are very beautiful, but not very girly. No wonder my daughter doesn’t like them.

"Oh my, this Old Liu is really something, my daughter is so young, why did he send these things to me?

Don't be angry, Xiaoxi. Next time I see your Uncle Liu, I'll tell him to send you another one that you like, okay?"

"Good~"

Father Zhang suppressed his grief and patiently coaxed his daughter. Xiaoxi was coaxed into stopping complaining, jumping off her father and continuing to open the last box.

While Xiaoxi was distracted by the box, Zhang's father winked at the housekeeper, then looked at his wife, motioning her to come out, and then turned and walked out of the room.

As the two walked out of the room, the housekeeper immediately brought the maid to surround Xiaoxi and help her open the gifts, distracting her and giving the two people outside the door a chance to talk.

Father Zhang took his old wife out of the room, and as soon as they went out, he saw her looking outside.

"Okay, stop looking. My son just left and went back."

"What? Go back? Go back where? Why are you going back again after just coming back? Zhentao, tell me the truth, what happened?"

Father Zhang suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, walked up to his wife, held her hand, told her what had happened, then lowered his head and looked into his wife's slowly red eyes.

"What kind of thing is this? It's been so many years, how come it's been dug up again? Can't you just let our family go..."

Hearing his wife's trembling voice, Zhang's father quickly raised his hands, held her in his arms, and patted her back gently.

"Alright, alright, it's already like this. There's no point in saying more. This is our fate. As the old saying goes, before we are born, we are destined to die. There's no way to escape it."

After some consolation, Zhang's father reluctantly persuaded his wife to calm down. After they both calmed down for a while, Zhang's father raised a bigger question.

"Wife, this is a serious matter. It is probably more serious than last year. My son just received a call and said that all the armors are destroyed. If nothing unexpected happens, I don't think we can escape this time."

"Ah? We're so far away and will be affected? This...is there any other way? I don't mind dying, but my daughter is still young."

Hearing this, Zhang's father looked at his wife affectionately, and the smile on his face gradually became natural.

"What can we do? Our son has gone back to risk his life. Now we are at the end of our rope. No one can escape. As for whether our daughter can be saved, well... it's hard to say..."

"My Xiao Miao, my Xiao Xi..."

Before he could finish his words, his wife's crying had already reached Zhang's father's ears. Zhang's father was also very sad. The children he had raised for many years were about to disappear with him. Who could accept this calmly?

At this moment, there are two worlds separated by just a door. The depression outside the door and the joy inside form a sharp contrast.

Xiaoxi in the room took out a beautiful floral dress from the box and was trying it out on herself. The housekeeper and maids around her were also trying their best to please her.

Outside the door, an old couple hugged each other and cried. The wife's crying finally broke down Zhang's father's psychological defenses.

He watched his adopted son embark on a path to death, and in the near future, his wife and daughter would have difficulty surviving.

All of this was like a knife stabbing into Zhang's father's heart. The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart were finally triggered. He hugged his wife tightly, silently shedding tears.

…………

After Bei Miao left, he found a random car and drove onto the highway, trying to find a way to return home. The first person he thought of was his old friend, so he took out his cell phone and called him.

The phone rang twice before being connected.

"Hello? Sanshui, long time no see. How come you remembered to call me?"

"Jiafeng, can your private jet return to China? This is a matter of life and death, help your brother."

Bei Miao drove and talked on the phone as he rushed to his brother's house, but his brother could not help him.

"Sanshui, we have been friends for so many years, I won't beat around the bush. Planes can't fly, not just private planes, all international flights are stopped now."

Hearing this, Bei Miao braked and stopped the car in the middle of the road, then punched the steering wheel.

"Damn it! What happened?"

"Tsk tsk, Sanshui, I'm not trying to scare you, something big has happened. Just now, a friend of mine broke some big news to me, he saw aliens with a telescope.

There are five aliens standing in a row, and there is a green light nearby, and it seems there are two eyes. I think they are attacking us. Take your family and run away quickly..."

"Bullshit, where can you go? Mars?" Bei Miao retorted angrily.

"Hey, that seems to be the case. Then I'll just wait for death. I need to deal with some important matters in my life before I die. See you in heaven. Bye~"

The call was hung up by the other party and calm returned to the car. Bei Miao sat alone in the car, anxiously thinking about how to return home.

"If planes don't work, what about ships? I'm afraid there aren't any passenger ships, but cargo ships and oil tankers will do. Who has a shipping company?"

After thinking about it, Bei Miao couldn't think of any connections he could use, which completely ignited his anger.

"If I had known this would happen, why would I have come abroad? Damn it! I want to go back! Go back! Ah!!!"

Bei Miao slammed the steering wheel hard, venting his anger, and only stopped when his hands became numb.

After a while, Bei Miao's anger and resentment gradually subsided, replaced by regret and unwillingness, and finally turned into helplessness and loneliness.

His waist relaxed and he leaned weakly on the seat, looking at the night sky through the front windshield.

"Oh! This is called dying in a foreign land. It's a pity that I didn't listen to Hua He's words, didn't take good care of Kun Zhong, failed to compensate Xi Zhao who was framed by me, and didn't see my sister for the last time."

Bei Miao felt weak all over and his vision gradually became blurred.

"It is only now that I see clearly that I still have so many regrets. Alas! I will never be able to rest in peace!"

Thinking of this, Bei Miao closed his eyes in pain.

Just when Bei Miao was feeling sad, a ray of golden light pierced the darkness and brought him hope.
