Awakening his superpowers, he transmigrates to a post-apocalyptic world; his five older brothers kne

"Ahem, well, that depends on whether my uncle likes it or not."

Lu Fei whispered in Cao Zhengyu's ear, her warm breath and faint fragrance causing him to blush and his heart to beat erratically.

"Hey, I think so too. If your family doesn't object, let them develop freely."

Lu Fei didn't want Chen Wanyue to fall in love with Cao Huai immediately, but rather for her to find confidence and a sense of being respected in normal male-female interactions.

This failed marriage, filled with scheming and oppression, has caused Chen Wanyue to lose her former pride. Lu Fei hopes that she can find herself again.

"Since Uncle Cao saved my mother, we should express our gratitude. Why don't we have a simple meal together?"

At the mention of food, Yin Sheng perked up and quickly suggested eating at his place as a way of thanking Lu Fei.

On this day, the Phoenix Base Chief returned, and the entire base was celebrating. Lu Fei became their benefactor, and many people in the banquet hall came over to toast her.

Among them were many talented young men, all dressed in their finest clothes, who walked up to Lu Fei, only to be scared away by Cao Zhengyu's oppressive gaze.

Lu Fei was oblivious to this, focusing instead on getting information about Cao Huai. She learned that he was a commander in the military region and had been stationed in the Central Military Region for many years. She added that he might not have had the chance to come out if it weren't for his superpower going berserk.

Hearing this, Lu Fei pouted. Hongjian Base was too far from the Central Military Region, and she didn't want her mother to marry far away, otherwise she wouldn't even know if she was being bullied.

"Mom, I don't accept you having a long-distance relationship."

Lu Fei's seemingly random remark made Chen Wanyue punch her in embarrassment and annoyance.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat? I'm just very grateful to your Uncle Cao for saving my life. As for love and romance, I won't touch that again."

A flash of pain crossed Chen Wanyue's eyes. Lu Zhen had hurt her too deeply, and she didn't want to be a fool and rely on men anymore.

"Hehe, it's better if you don't touch me, then I can support you for the rest of my life, and we can live together then, wouldn't that be great?"

Seeing Chen Wanyue was sad, Lu Fei quickly acted cute and charming to distract her. The close and heartwarming scene between the mother and daughter made everyone laugh.

"My dear niece, we've brought over the supplies for purifying Zhengyu Island. As for mine..."

Just as Cao Huai was about to speak, Lu Fei, thinking he was short of money, waved her hand, indicating that it wasn't important. She added that he had saved her mother earlier, so they could call it even.

"That won't do. I'm a commander of the military region, and I didn't even get a penny for my life. It's too shameful. How about... I'll give you double what Zhengyu got?"

Lu Fei: ?(?A?)?

This isn't some commander; this is her lucky charm.

Just as Lu Fei was overjoyed, Yin Sheng, not to be outdone, quickly brought over a lot of things, from food and clothing to guns and ammunition, almost surrounding her completely.

"Miss Lu, I heard from Feiyu that you are going to the Hongjian base. Is there any necessary reason for this?"

If you just want a place to stay, then I hope you'll seriously consider our Phoenix Base. I dare say, the preferential treatment I offer you is unmatched by any other base.

As soon as Yin Sheng finished speaking, Gu Changge, who was wolfing down her food, suddenly got angry, threw down her chopsticks, and ran over.

"Old man Yin, you're not even trying to hide it from others when you're trying to steal my sister's boyfriend. My sister clearly said she wanted to come to our base. Isn't this kind of despicable tactic too much?"

Yin Sheng smiled, showing no annoyance, and looked at Gu Changge as if she were a child.

“A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Miss Lu is a smart person, and I believe she has her own considerations.”

Hongjian Base is the poorest of the nine bases. During the most difficult times each year, your base commander must have to go out to work to earn supplies.

"Furthermore, your base has many elderly, weak, and disabled members, and their combat capabilities are insufficient. If someone covets Miss Lu's abilities and tries to break in, how long can your base hold out?"

Though the words were crude, the principle was sound. With each sentence Yin Sheng spoke, Gu Changge's face grew dimmer, until finally she was so dejected she couldn't lift her head.

Seeing Gu Changge like this, Yin Sheng's smile became even warmer. He looked at Lu Fei and promised her that as long as she stayed, he would not only provide her with the best housing conditions, but also the best supplies.

Their base doesn't want any of the purified crystals; in fact, they give her a thousand crystal cores every month for cultivation...

These conditions would have tempted even Cao Zhengyu of the Central Military Region, let alone the nine major bases. Indeed, the Phoenix Base is incredibly wealthy.

"Changge, I know that Hongjian Base has a tough time. The extreme heat is just two months away. This year, Phoenix Base will take care of all your supplies."

Yin Sheng was clearly forcing Gu Changge to choose between the entire base and Lu Fei, seemingly certain that he would lose.

He smiled and presented the difficult problem to Gu Changge, saying that no matter what choice she made, it would be tough.

Gu Changge gritted his teeth and stared at the old fox, thinking that no wonder Luo Feiyu was so cunning; it turned out that this was the root of his cunning.

"The eldest sister said she would come back to the base with us; she is one of our people."

Hongjian Base may be poor, but we won't abandon anyone. Unless the eldest sister herself says she wants to stay, I won't give up on her.

After Gu Changge finished speaking, she looked at Lu Fei nervously.

"Big sister, Hongjian Base is indeed poor. You've seen it all along. You really had to suffer in the past."

If you don't want to come along, I have no complaints. These past few days with you have been the happiest we've ever had.

With so many people around, Gu Changge straightened his back, his eyes sincere, and bowed deeply to Lu Fei.

When Gu Changge came over to argue, the people at Hongjian Base stopped eating and ran over to stand behind him. When they saw him bow, they all bowed to Lu Fei as well.

For a moment, the huge and spacious banquet hall was completely silent, everyone waiting for Lu Fei's decision.

She sighed softly, and Gu Changge felt a chill in his heart. A self-deprecating smile flashed in his eyes. Yes, Hongjian Base was so poor, how could it be worthy of his elder sister, this golden phoenix?

"Big sister, you don't need to feel burdened. It's good for you to stay here. It's close to the Hongjian base. We'll stop by to see you when we pass by."

Gu Changge forced a smile, a stark contrast to her usual cheerful demeanor, like a large, abandoned dog in the rainy night.

What burdens could I possibly have?

Lu Fei's words brought a victorious smile to Yin Sheng's lips, and even Luo Feiyu's eyes lit up. But the next second, their expressions froze on their faces.

"I have a unique purification ability. Who can guarantee that they won't be able to beg for my help in their lifetime? Wherever I am, that place will become a hot commodity."

Do you still think Hongjian Base would be poor? Are you looking down on me, or on yourselves?

Gu Changge stared at Lu Fei in disbelief. The burly, strong man's eyes visibly reddened, and his lips trembled as he was unable to speak.

"Big sister, do you mean you're coming back to base with us?"

Hu Dabao had been crying his eyes out, and although he had been begging Lu Fei to go back the whole way, he hadn't said a word just now, for fear of influencing her judgment.

I was so happy to hear that she chose Hongjian Base.

“You showed me the first kindness, standing behind me unconditionally. We’ve been through thick and thin together, how could I abandon you? Don’t underestimate the bond between us, okay?”

Lu Fei tilted her head back and made a silly face, which made the people at Hongjian Base burst into tears of joy and rush over to hug her.

Just as they were about to meet Lu Fei, Cao Zhengyu suddenly lifted her hand onto his shoulder and started walking away.

"After we finish eating, let's take inventory of the supplies. We're leaving tomorrow!"
