Dragon Raja 5

“Is there more below?” he asked.

“There’s more, but the space below requires authorization from the management committee to enter, and there’s nothing worth visiting,” Lu Lincheng said. “We call it the Final Sanctuary. It sounds like a place with a strong religious feel, but it’s mainly a seed bank and gene bank. Once war breaks out, many species will become extinct as a result. We’ve collected the seeds or genes of every species we can find here. Only the International Seed Vault in Svalbard, Norway, can compare to it. In addition, there are records of human history and civilization compressed on holographic glass. If even the emergency shelter is destroyed, the only thing that can open that warehouse is probably an alien civilization that will arrive on Earth billions of years from now.”

“You seem to have prepared for the worst.”

“The intensity of a conflict between two civilizations is unpredictable. It could be a war that burns cities to the ground, and it’s not impossible that they will end up using devastating weapons.”

They returned to the ground. When the elevator doors opened, Lu Mingfei took a deep breath of the cold, fresh air and felt a sense of relief. At least for this moment, the world was still peaceful and tranquil. The people he knew, whether they liked him or hated him, were still living peacefully somewhere in the world.

“Try your mother’s cooking tonight. To welcome you home, she killed the guinea fowl with the number 1147 in our livestock farm.” Lu Lincheng patted his son on the shoulder. “Remember to tell your mother what I said.”
Did you have a fight with your mom?

“Yeah, she complained that I should have brought you over sooner, and she almost smashed the wardrobe on my head.”

Regardless of their location, everyone in the haven lived in the Khrushchev Building. Families with more members could be allocated larger suites. Lu Lincheng was allocated a small suite, with two bedrooms and a living room. The extra room was not his study but a bedroom with a single bed, which looked like someone had slept there.

“Don’t worry, your mom and I didn’t give you any younger siblings or anything while you were away. This is what your mom prepared for you. Sometimes when we argue, I sleep on it.” That’s what Lu Lincheng said.

Lu Mingfei touched the soft, dry linen sheets, on the verge of tears. It was such a blessing to have someone in this world always make a bed for you. Fortunately, Giovanni called out from the kitchen that dinner was ready, which stopped his tears from falling.

Dinner was exactly like the meal in his dream, even the guinea fowl tasted just like in dream, except that the braised duck his dad brought home on the way wasn’t there, and the alcohol was replaced with vodka.

“Poor guinea fowl number 1147, it was so plump and tender, it deserved to be cooked by a master chef, but in the end it ended up being served with its feathers still intact.” Lu Lincheng sighed as he gnawed on the chicken head.

“If a chicken head isn’t enough to shut you up, I can add a carrot,” Giovanni said coldly, placing a chicken leg on Lu Mingfei’s plate.

“Eat up, eat up! The farm here is limited in size, so we can only eat real meat once a week,” Lu Lincheng said, his mouth still busy. “Most of the time you have to eat artificial steaks made from stem cells, which are like sawdust. But our experts say that if we give him another two years, he can improve the quality of the meat to the level of Australian beef.”

“I went to my uncle’s house when I was in high school. Have you been living here for seven years?” Lu Mingfei asked.

“Yes, but this place has a history of more than seven years. It was designed and built around 2000, starting with the underground facilities. These Khrushchev buildings were actually the last to be built,” Giovanni said. this small place like us.”

“I’m doing alright. With the recommendation letter you wrote, Mom, I got an S grade when I entered Cassel College,” Lu Mingfei said. “The principal has been very kind to me. Many people say that the principal is like my real father.”

“That old bastard?” Lu Lincheng asked, his eyebrows twitching and his face full of disdain.

He didn’t seem to have much respect for Hilbert Jean Anjou, even though he knew him well, referring to him as either an old guy or an old bastard.

“You didn’t raise your own child! You let someone else raise it for you! It’s more like someone else gave birth to it!” Giovanni got angry when she talked about this.

“Alright, alright, for my sake,” Lu Mingfei quickly said. “So I really am your biological child, not someone you picked up on the street, not a free gift with a phone SIM card, not some orphan monster, right?”

“How could you think that?” Lu Lincheng asked seriously. “You might be a monster, but you’re definitely a monster with parents!”

“That sounds somewhat comforting,” Lu Mingfei scratched his head. “So you guys know I can transform into a monster, and that the academy has a global warrant for my arrest, right?”

“Nonsense! Otherwise, how would you have received my call? This haven has been isolated from the outside world since it opened. Even I can’t come and go as I please. Although we miss you dearly, we dare not contact you proactively. Every time we contact the outside world, it’s a potential leak,” Lu Lincheng said. “But I can’t just watch my son be bullied!”

“It wasn’t exactly being bullied… I even felt quite dangerous myself. Speaking of which, whose ability to transform into a powerful monster did I inherit from either of you?”

Lu Lincheng and Giovanni exchanged a glance. “Your mother and I are both office workers… To be honest, we don’t know how you have that kind of ability.”

“You two gave birth to a monster and you don’t even know why?” Lu Mingfei said with a wry smile.

“Theoretically speaking, only something at the Dragon King level could do what you did. Although your mother and I have excellent bloodlines, we’re not capable of producing a Dragon King.” Lu Lincheng sighed.

“At first, your mother and I were terrified, wondering if some monster had impersonated our child.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Giovanni snapped again. “My son is my son! Even a monster is my son!”

“Giovanni, can’t you speak quietly? Our son just got home and his parents are already arguing. If it weren’t for me, I really don’t know who could put up with your temper…”

Lu Lincheng and Giovanni managed to hold out for half the meal, but they started bickering again. Lu Mingfei kept his head down, gnawing on his chicken leg, and didn’t join in. As he ate, his tears fell into the soup bowl, splashing up ripples with oil.

The dining table suddenly fell silent. Giovanni glared at Lu Lincheng, moved her chair, put her arm around Lu Mingfei’s shoulder, and kissed his forehead.

“I’m fine, I’m quite happy.” Lu Mingfei wiped his face with his sleeve and said with a smile, “The chicken is delicious too.”
