Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

"Let me go back and think about it first. You guys go about your business. If you need any resources, just let me know and I'll report it later. Xiao Hao, you also need to tell me what the situation is like with Reis right now."

Mai Xiaowen, who was about to snatch Xiao Hao away: Damn it, my Xiao Hao! ヽ(*。＞Д＜)o゜

After everyone left, Uluru suddenly stood up and muttered to himself:

"Increase firepower, launch more loitering munitions for precise targeting, and don't let any of them escape today."

After saying that, he walked straight to the laboratory, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"That's not right. Uluru usually takes a few sips from his little flask after meetings, doesn't he? What's wrong with him today?"

Chapter 342 Bird's Nest Incident

Zhang Hao followed Shen Lan back to her room. Shen Lan took a notebook out of a drawer and asked Zhang Hao:

"Xiao Hao, didn't you mention before that even after that devastating blow, Reis still had the money to rebuild his Diamond Queen Hotel?"

Zhang Hao nodded after hearing this and added:

"Yes, and it's not just reconstruction. Uncle Said also told me that Reis seems to have started upgrading and building the entire Longbow Valley under his control."

"What? He also upgraded the entire Longbow Valley? It seems there's a force behind Reiss that we don't know about. Who could it be?"

Upon hearing this news, Deep Blue immediately began to wonder if another unknown force might have emerged behind Reis.

"Huh? Uncle Deep Blue, are you saying that there's an organization behind Reiss that we don't even know about, providing him with assistance?"

After hearing this, Zhang Hao looked enlightened. With this explanation, many things that didn't make sense before suddenly became understandable.

Previously, he and Said had been speculating that it couldn't possibly be a disagreement among some of Hafk's high-ranking officials, leading some to secretly support Reis. However, this explanation was clearly illogical, and even Said felt that such a situation was highly unlikely.

Now, with Deep Blue's reminder, Zhang Hao also felt that this possibility was higher. But at this critical juncture, which foolish organization would dare to get involved?

"To be honest, this is just my guess. Xiao Hao, you don't need to get so excited. Besides... even if he has resources from forces we don't know about, we still have to complete this mission."

After Shenlan wrote it down in his notebook, he patted Zhang Hao's head and comforted him, saying, "But if there really is an organization behind Reiss that even GTI doesn't know about, then this war will definitely become even more chaotic."

"Alright, Xiao Hao, I just wanted to ask you about the situation with Reis. You should go and get some rest too. I'll call you for dinner tonight."

Shenlan smiled and patted Zhang Hao's head, the touch still so smooth. Then he turned on his computer to report the situation to his superiors and apply for a batch of resources for Uluru and the others.

After coming out, Zhang Hao skipped the three women's door and went straight downstairs without going to his own room.

Unbeknownst to Zhang Hao, Mai Xiaowen and the other two were already waiting for him in his room. As soon as Zhang Hao pushed open the door, the three of them would "cruelly" drag him to the bed and ravage him.

As Zhang Hao went downstairs, the three people waiting in the room were filled with doubt. Could it be that the person who just came out of the room wasn't Xiao Hao? Why hasn't he come in yet? Or is Xiao Hao still with Shen Lan?

"This is getting a bit boring. How about we start a game?"

While the three of them fell silent, Mai Xiaowen suddenly transformed into a master of ideas, took out her phone, waved it at the other two, and sent them a game invitation.

"Hmph, come on then, but I won't go easy on you when Xiao Hao comes in."

Seeing this, the other two also took out their phones, and the three of them lay down on Zhang Hao's bed and started playing.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . .

When Zhang Hao arrived in the living room, he saw Roy excitedly talking to Red Wolf and Dragon. After listening, Zhang Hao discovered that Roy had discovered Asara Rocket Soldiers in several places while on patrol in Longbow Valley yesterday, as if they were guarding something.

But that piqued Roy's curiosity, so after parking his car, he quietly went over to take a look. He discovered that there were many bird nests near the Asara rocket soldier, and he even saw a golden bird egg in one of the nests!

"What the hell? Even Xiao Hao probably wouldn't believe what you're saying. A bunch of bird nests, and golden eggs inside the nests? Why don't you say there are diamond eggs too?"

After hearing Roy's words, Dragon and Red Wolf both said that this was nonsense. Asara Rocket Troopers are an important fighting force no matter where they are, so how could they be sent to guard bird nests?

Besides, what kind of golden eggs can you find in a bird's nest? Isn't that just nonsense?

"No, what I said is all true. If you don't believe me, you can take a look when you go on patrol tomorrow. It's over at Longbow Valley Ranch. There are a few more inside, but I don't dare get too close."

Seeing that neither Wei Long nor Red Wolf believed him, Roy became anxious. He had clearly seen it with his own eyes, how could they not believe him? Seeing Zhang Hao behind him, Roy quickly grabbed Zhang Hao and said:

"Xiao Hao, you believe me, right? You definitely believe me, right? How about I take you there in a few days when it's my turn to patrol?"

But looking at Zhang Hao, who looked constipated, Luo Yi knew that even Xiao Hao didn't believe him.

"You...you're questioning my character! Terry, do you think even you..."

Roy was also pinning his last hope on Terry, who had been sitting on the sidelines watching the drama unfold. If even Terry didn't believe him... wouldn't he be the one with the problem?

Roy: How could that be? Is what I'm telling you really too surreal? But I saw it clearly with my own eyes!!!

"Bro, I believe you."

Just when Roy was about to fall into despair, Terry's words pulled him back from the brink.

"Really...really?"

Roy turned around and looked at Terry with excitement. Sure enough, it was Terry who reached out to help him when he was about to fall into despair.

"I believe Roy, you didn't sleep well the past few days, and you probably said whatever you dreamed about last night."

Terry, with a "sincere" expression, said the second half of what he hadn't said before.

"What...what is all this?! You...you're all bad people!!!"

Chapter 343 The Bird's Nest Incident (2)

Seeing Roy collapsed on the sofa, lifeless, Zhang Hao exchanged glances with Wei Long and the others. Then, after exchanging a few more glances, Wei Long went over and shook the nearly dead Roy, offering words of comfort:

"Alright, alright, don't be so sad. It's just that what you're saying sounds too fantastical. If you were in my shoes, and I said something like that to you out of the blue, do you think you would believe it or think I'm just messing with you?"

After listening to Wei Long's words, Roy seemed to fall into thought, closing his eyes and beginning his own Roy-style thinking.

After a while, Roy opened his eyes and said:

“That’s true, but since you don’t believe me now, aren’t you going to patrol the dam tomorrow? After you finish your patrol, take a detour to Chang Gong Valley and you’ll see. I’ll mark the location for you later.”

Hearing Roy say this, Wei Long nodded with some skepticism.

Although this sounds really unbelievable, it seems like Roy is playing a trick on people.

But seeing Roy still looking so confident, Wei Long couldn't understand why such a strange thing was happening in Longbow Valley.

"Okay, I'll take a look when I go on patrol tomorrow, and I'll also check out the differences between the upgraded Longbow Valley and the one before."

Wei Long nodded, indicating that he would go to Longbow Valley in Reis after patrolling around the dam the next day.

Seeing this, Roy also brought out a map of Longbow Valley that Said had given him and marked the locations he had discovered yesterday for Weilong.

Seeing that Roy could actually mark these locations accurately, even Zhang Hao and the others began to believe that Roy had really seen this strange scene.

“Okay, Roy, now it seems I believe you really did see these things. I apologize for my previous doubts about you.”

Terry also apologized to Roy, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he looked at Roy, who had been defeated by his last words.

Terry was quietly observing the situation, but to be honest, he found it hard to believe that a golden egg could be found in the Bird's Nest. What rich person would put gold outside? Only a fool would do that.

Terry then explained why he thought that way, and after Terry finished explaining his reasons, even Roy was stumped.

Yes, if Roy isn't mistaken, that's a golden egg! That's gold! What kind person would put such a big piece of gold in a bird's nest outside?

"Um...you guys actually do seem to be quite rich."

Just as the four fell silent, Zhang Hao thought of the fact that there was indeed a very wealthy person in Longbow Valley. Not long ago, Uncle Said had told him that Reis had sent over a large number of gold bricks. So, if it was Reis who did it, it wouldn't be surprising at all.

"Ries? That guy can't be that stupid, right? Why would he put gold eggs outside for birds to hatch? Do you think they'll hatch into golden phoenixes?"

Wei Long shook his head and rejected the absurd idea. He had met Reis a few times. Although the big black man looked like a brainless person, after those two encounters, Wei Long realized that this guy was actually very cunning. Bisaiid was much more shrewd.

Said: Impossible, absolutely impossible! I'm a man who has mastered Chinese junior high school mathematics! How could that guy Reese possibly be smarter than me?!

Sofia: Okay, you can stop making a fool of yourself here. After studying for so long, you haven't even learned the basics of high school math. You should go and do your homework properly.

Said: Waaaaah, I'm definitely smarter than that guy Riss, I've tried so hard. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Hearing Wei Long say this, the group fell into deep thought once again.

Yeah, the problem is that Reese doesn't seem like the kind of person who doesn't use his brain.

"Oh well, let's not worry about that for now. I'm going on patrol tomorrow anyway. Let me check if Roy is lying to us first. If he dares to mess with me... I'll show him what real cruelty is."

Wei Long also looked at Roy and said fiercely. They still didn't know if Roy was just trying to mess with them, otherwise this matter would be too strange.

Of course, if I really saw a golden egg in a bird's nest, I would be willing to use some tricks to get it, since the golden egg outside is a wild one.

Looking at Wei Long, who was giving him an "evil smile," Roy couldn't help but shudder. He solemnly declared that he was telling the truth. If he was just teasing Wei Long, he would be waiting for him in his room tomorrow wearing only his underwear.

"Xiao Hao!!! Why didn't you go back to your room? I've been waiting for you for ages!"

Just then, Mai Xiaowen's voice came from the second floor. Zhang Hao looked up and saw three women holding cell phones, staring at him in surprise as he appeared in the living room.

"I was chatting with Brother Weilong and the others, and Roy told me something quite interesting. Do you guys want to hear it?"

Seeing the three women's expressions turn sour, Zhang Hao stammered an explanation, while also pleading for help from Wei Long and Red Wolf.

Red Wolf/Weilong: I'm sorry, Xiao Hao. It seems the consequences of your actions are too heavy. We two... are afraid we can't bear such a karmic burden. So, Xiao Hao, just go ahead and rest assured. We'll pretend we don't know anything while wearing headphones.

"Xiao Hao, I'll give you 30 seconds to come to my room. I don't think you want to know what will happen if you don't come. All the 'gifts' in my room are waiting for their owner."

Looking at Zoya, who was giving him a "gentle" smile from above, Zhang Hao knew he was in for a lot of trouble. He sighed heavily and, under the watchful eyes of Roy and the others, trudged back to his room.

Chapter 344 Thinking Back to the Past

"Sigh, I hope Xiao Hao can get through this completely."

Wei Long and Red Wolf couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, they envied Xiao Hao's popularity.

However, after considering Xiao Hao's looks and personality, the two seemed to resign themselves to their fate and shook their heads helplessly. Who wouldn't like such a cute and sensible child like Xiao Hao? Anyone who doesn't must have something wrong with their brain.

Reis: ? ? ? ? ? ?

"Back in the day, I had a huge group of female fans, but I was too picky back then, which is why I'm still single."

Red Wolf leaned back on the sofa behind him, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, and spoke to Wei Long in the tone of someone who had been through it all.

What? You're asking why I didn't tell Roy? If Red Wolf really dared to tell Roy that he was popular, Roy would just flaunt his precious wife and little daughter.

And every time Roy mentions his daughter and wife, he can talk for hours without taking a break. Uluru mentioned his wife when he was chatting with Roy before he even knew anything about it.

Roy talked to Uluru for the entire afternoon. If Red Wolf remembers correctly, he went back to his room to sleep after eating, and that's when Roy started chatting with Uluru.

When he came out for dinner, he found Roy still sitting on the sofa, talking about his daughter with a drowsy Uluru.

Of course, after that, Red Wolf and Dragon went to Uluru to ask him how he managed to stay there for an entire afternoon. And guess what Uluru said?

"I wanted to leave too, but I didn't expect Roy to be so strong. He pinned me down there. I couldn't run away, and he would wake me up if I fell asleep. I was really helpless."

After that, no one in the Secret Service would mention Roy's wife and beloved daughter in front of him, since Roy could really talk about them for an entire afternoon without stopping.

"Hmph, you're just bragging. Someone like you has a bunch of female fans? Don't make me laugh. I was really something back in the day. I was a big shot in college, you know."

Seeing this, Wei Long began to recount his glorious past:

"Do you know how many girls I charmed when I was playing basketball? Have you ever received love letters? With your straight-man attitude, you should just stay single."

Seeing Wei Long belittle him like that, Red Wolf disdainfully retorted:

"Oh my, our Wang Yuhao was quite the celebrity back in the day! People would even send him love letters? So how come you're still a single dog like me? What's wrong? None of those girls are to our Lord Weilong's liking?"

Seeing the two arguing again, Roy and Terry sat down to the side, picked up the sunflower seeds Zhang Hao had roasted earlier, and started eating them. They didn't expect the show to start so soon; it seems they really are quite lucky.

Roy: Oh~~~ This is so wonderful, these days are truly wonderful. If Asara didn't have war, that would be the best. These days are paradise. I just don't know how long Asara and Hafk will continue to fight.

Realizing he hadn't seen his adorable daughter in a long time, Roy decided that after watching this funny video, he would video call his little darling daughter and his beloved wife.

"Hmph, I surrendered myself to my country. What do you know? I'm not like you, pretending to be tough when nobody wants me."

"You dare say that again? I clearly had a bunch of female fans back then, okay? You're just framing me!"

"I'm going to say, what's wrong? Are you getting impatient? If you're impatient, let's go outside and have a practice session."

"Come on, it seems I haven't trained you in a long time, huh? You even dare to talk to your senior like that."

"Pah! You're learning from Luna, aren't you? You're even acting like a senior here. Don't be the one I pin to the ground begging for mercy later."

The two walked out hurling insults at each other, and the two bystanders exchanged a glance and followed suit in perfect unison.
