Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

Chapter 195 We share the same robes, how can we say we have no clothes?

Russell did not respond to the monkey's impotent rage, and in the end, the monkey could only sit aside and nibble on a banana with a frustrated expression.

Fortunately, this chance encounter wasn't entirely fruitless for him.

Although the monkey could not retrieve Yang Jian's information, without Russell's special efforts to block it, outsiders could easily learn about his more than 20 years of life in Juxia City.

Under Sun Wukong's fiery eyes, Russell's life story was laid bare.

Born an orphan, his life trajectory—elementary school, middle school, high school, university, internship—lay out before Sun Wukong, no different from anyone else in the world.

According to Sun Wukong's calculations, if this path hadn't been disrupted by the Taotie invasion, Russell, given his education and professional competence, would most likely have worked at Angel International until retirement.

However, a sudden turning point occurred a few days ago when he inexplicably resigned from his highly sought-after internship at Angel International, a job with low pay, heavy workload, and high work risks.

This roughly coincides with the time when Yang Jian appeared, so it can be basically confirmed that Russell is Yang Jian, and Yang Jian is Russell.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Compared to a detached god who has stepped out of mythology and has no sense of belonging to anything in the world, a deity who has been awakened and revived by humans and has ties to the country and the people is more likely to be moved.

"Monkey, I have a question for you."

"speak."

"More than a thousand years ago, the blazing sun attacked the earth. Do you know why?" Russell asked.

"Who knows? Pan Zhen's been out of his mind for a long time now. He came in a big fuss and left looking utterly defeated. Hey! If it weren't for Lao Du stopping him, I, Lao Sun, would have torn down his Cloud Heaven Palace..."

Once the topic turned to Lieyang, Sun Wukong couldn't stop talking. He criticized Pan Zhen and the entire Lieyang civilization from top to bottom, saying that in the monkey's eyes, they were nothing.

Russell covered his face in despair. He had asked the unnecessary question. How much depth of thought could you expect from a monkey?

However, he didn't interrupt. This monkey hadn't been able to find anyone to confide in for over a thousand years, and he was indeed getting restless.

As the one being confided in, Russell didn't find it boring. Over a thousand years of experience is a thousand-year story. Listening to someone who experienced it firsthand recount their personal feelings about being in the midst of the changing times has its own unique flavor.

"Phew... That feels so good. Thank you. I haven't felt this comfortable in over a thousand years."

In the pavilion outside the villa on Flower Fruit Mountain, from the morning sun high in the sky to the night moon hanging high in the sky, Sun Wukong poured out his grievances, emptying out all the mountain of troubles that he had accumulated over the past thousand years and had nowhere to confide in.

Russell waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about, and then asked Sun Wukong for a copy of his memories from that time.

After careful review, I found many suspicious points.

"What did you discover?" Seeing the smile on Russell's lips, Sun Wukong couldn't help but scratch his head. It shouldn't be like this. Something that he hadn't figured out in over a thousand years, he understood after just one look with his three eyes. This made him seem very dull.

“If I’m not mistaken, back in the Heavenly Court of Clouds, you wiped out Pan Zhen’s entire guard, but Pan Zhen was still unwilling to retreat. However, after Dukao appeared, he changed his mind after just a few words.” Russell briefly described the scene at the time.

“That’s right,” Sun Wukong nodded first, then realized what he meant and said in a heavy tone, “You doubt Lao Du? That’s impossible. I, Lao Du, have seen Lao Du’s contributions to China over the years. Although he is an alien, he has made great contributions to China’s development to this point.”

“Indeed, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions, but sometimes, this intention, unknown to outsiders, hides earth-shattering secrets.” Russell did not deny Dukao’s achievements, but he did not ignore the power behind him—the Deno people.

As far as Russell knew, there were still many surviving old ministers among the Deno survivors who were dreaming of restoring Deno.

This is also one of the main reasons why they spread super genes on Earth but do not provide infrastructure construction methods.

"You mean, there are secrets hidden on Earth that we don't know about?" Sun Wukong pondered Russell's words, his brows furrowing slightly as his thoughts wandered.

There are quite a few habitable planets in the universe, but both Dukao and Pan Zhen have set their sights on Earth, a barren and remote corner of the Chiwu star system.

No one would believe there wasn't something fishy going on here.

“This is truly an unexpected delight. I was only thinking of finding a successor who could carry on his consciousness, but I never expected that there are still places worth exploring in this universe itself.” Russell got up and went to the edge of the cliff, looking down at the flashing neon lights below, as if he were talking to Sun Wukong, or as if he were talking to himself.

"What do you want?" Sun Wukong asked with a complicated expression.

He's been receiving so much information these past two days that his monkey brain is overloaded and can't process it all.

“It will take some time for the Lesser Sumeru Heaven to fully take shape. Why not take this opportunity to make a trip to Lieyang and ask them for the information we need?” Russell suggested.

Upon hearing that they were to attack the blazing sun, Sun Wukong immediately perked up, but after careful consideration, he shook his head: "The evil forces are eyeing Earth covetously. Whatever we want to do, we have to wait until we force the Styx River to retreat."

“That makes sense.” Russell nodded; it was indeed true.

“By the way, since you’ll have to wait a while longer for your little Sumeru Heaven, why don’t you stay on Earth for now? That way, I, Old Sun, will have a helper.” Sun Wukong invited, not forgetting his original intention. “Old Du found that girl from Lieyang to be the commander-in-chief. Although she doesn’t have any bad intentions, I, Old Sun, don’t trust Pan Zhen and Lieyang behind her.”

“Even if you hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have ignored it.” Russell crossed his arms and gazed at the moon.

“That’s true,” Sun Wukong said, his smile widening as if he had just thought of something, and his tone becoming playful. “I forgot you have a girlfriend in the Super Soldier Squad. Should I put in a word with Lao Du and get you a position in the Super Soldier Squad?”

"You're actually willing to play house with these kids?" Russell scoffed, showing no interest.

“No.” Sun Wukong shook his head seriously at Russell’s words, and solemnly met Yang Jian’s eyes: “Defending our country and our home, risking our lives, is never a game. This applies to us super soldiers, and it applies to ordinary soldiers as well.”

“I misspoke.” Sun Wukong’s expression moved Russell.

"To err is human, to forgive divine." In the soft glow of dawn, Sun Wukong laughed heartily.

As the clouds rose, they shredded the rising sunlight into golden threads, weaving a semi-transparent curtain of light between the two.

He took out a dark alloy rod from his ear, lifted the tip, stirred it, and thrust it into the rising mist. With a sudden jerk, the boiling morning glow seemed to open up like a slit in the sky, creating a surging torrent.

"With you as a fellow soldier—"

"How can it be said that we have no clothes!"

……

"One, two, one; one, two, one; one, two, three, four..."

At the Super God Academy, on the playground, Lena, clad in black armor, kept blowing on a spoon. "Sister Na, running like this isn't sustainable. We've all undergone genetic engineering, why are we still doing primitive running exercises? Don't we have any more advanced techniques like breathing exercises or other breathing techniques?"

After finishing the 20,000-meter race, during the rest period, Ge Xiaolun was the first to raise his hand.

Every day, the skills of my teammates are all incredibly awesome.

The three brothers were supposed to be ordinary guys, but Yaowen casually caused the world to collapse, and Xinye was also full of sparks and lightning.

And Liu Chuang, his axe glows!
Unfortunately, he was good for nothing except being tough.

Wasn't he supposed to be the future god of the Milky Way, the galactic power that would pierce through fear?
He felt like they were teasing him!

"That's right!" Zhao Xin chimed in, "Sister Na, do you guys in Lieyang run like this too?"

“Earth is poor.” Lena helplessly spread her hands with the little bear: “For super soldiers, as long as there are enough resources, they can discover the abilities of genes in a very short time. But you are too poor, so you can only use the most primitive methods to develop genes.”

"No, Earth is already so poor, so why would Taotie come to attack us?" Rui Mengmeng scratched her head. Accustomed to working to support her family, she didn't quite understand Taotie's thankless behavior.

"The Taotie civilization worships Karthus, the chief god of the Styx Galaxy, and war and death are their ways of pleasing the god." Rose covered her face and said helplessly, "This knowledge was clearly taught in class."

"Hahaha..." Rui Mengmeng, who had been caught daydreaming in class, laughed and took a step back, decisively hiding behind Liu Chuang. Liu Chuang, in a spirit of chivalry, stepped forward and used his body to block Rui Mengmeng.

"Hey, Sister Na, how about I represent the Milky Way and sign a contract with your Lieyang or something, give us some supplies, and I'll definitely pay you back when I'm all grown up." Ge Xiaolun rubbed his hands together and grinned slyly as he approached Lena, only to be tapped on the forehead by Lena and pushed away: "That's a nice idea, but I'm sorry, you can't represent the Milky Way for now, and I can't represent Lieyang for now either."

"No, Sister Na, aren't you the main god? Can't you make decisions anymore?" Liu Chuang asked with surprise.

In his view, the supreme god and the gang leader are the same species, both wielding absolute power and influence within their own gangs (civilizations).

"It's hard to say exactly, um, have you read Romance of the Three Kingdoms? I'm currently in Cao Mao's state." Lena waved her hand dismissively. This kind of thing wasn't a secret in other civilizations, and she was too lazy to hide it. Anyway, everyone would find out sooner or later.

"What?" Liu Chuang's face flushed red instantly. He slammed his axe on the ground. Although he hadn't received much formal education, he was very familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. He immediately pounded his chest loudly: "Sister Na, don't worry, I, Liu Chuang, am definitely on your side. And your Sima Zhao, you can let him try his luck in the Northeast!"

“Count me in. My ancestor was Zhao Yun, whose main virtues were loyalty and courage.” Zhao Xin also raised his hand.

“Me too,” Ge Xiaolun echoed.

"Alright, alright, it's just an analogy. My situation isn't that bad." Lena was touched by the words of the Super Soldier Squad. She coughed, drawing everyone's attention, and waved her hand dismissively:
"Seeing that you guys aren't really in the mood to continue training, here's what I'll do: I'll treat you to dinner tonight at HSBC Restaurant, and you can have some free time this afternoon."

"Sister Na is so generous!" Zhao Xin led the applause. This was not a forced pat on the back, but a heartfelt one. If you looked closely, you could see the tears welling up in his eyes.

For the past few days, they've been eating nothing but concentrated steak every day, and their mouths have no taste at all. Are they finally going to be able to eat a decent meal today?

“Lena…” Rose hesitated. Although she was disappointed, she still wanted to say that with a formidable enemy at hand and the Super Soldier Corps not yet fully integrated, it was inappropriate to give them a holiday now.

"Relax," Lena waved her hand, "Don't you Chinese have an idiom called 'work-life balance'? Everyone has been training hard for so long, it's time to relax and unwind. A certain girl just confirmed her relationship with her sweetheart."

"Sister Na!" Hearing Lena's teasing and the mocking looks from the Super Soldier Squad, Qi Lin's face visibly turned red.

"Haha." Lena laughed nervously, hands on her hips. Glancing at Rose out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Rose still looked preoccupied. She took two steps in front of her and patted her chest. "With me here, don't worry. Everything is going according to plan. Besides, I am the captain of the Super Soldier Company. Don't you even listen to your captain?"

"Lena, you know that's not what I meant," Rose said with a wry smile.

“That’s fine,” Lena nodded in satisfaction. “Now, Rose team members, answer me loudly: are you willing to rest this afternoon and have a feast tonight?”

"I understand," Rose said softly.

"No, no, the sound is too soft, I can't hear it!" Lena shook her head in dissatisfaction: "Yaowen, Xiaolun, did you hear that?"

"Huh? I..." Ge Xiaolun was about to nod, but before he could finish speaking, Zhao Xin grabbed his neck and interrupted, "What? I didn't hear anything. Was someone talking just now?"

"Qilin, Mengmeng, did you hear that?" Lena looked at Qilin and Ruimengmeng again.

"No, no."

"I didn't hear it."

Qi Lin and Rui Mengmeng shook their heads in unison, indicating that they had just experienced intermittent tinnitus.

what the hell……

Seeing that all eyes were fixed on her, Rose gritted her teeth inwardly.

We're all super soldiers, how could we not have heard that voice?

Well, whether I stick my neck out or not, I'll get stabbed anyway.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Rose took a deep breath and shouted, "Yes, sir! Rest this afternoon, dinner tonight, execute immediately!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Rose's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and she immediately looked up at the sky, refusing to look at the reactions of the others.

"The rose is shy!" Zhao Xin's shouts soon echoed across the huge playground.

"Even Sister Qiangwei gets shy!" Liu Chuang teased in his distinctively rough Northeastern accent. At this point, Qiangwei finally couldn't help but retort, "Who are you calling 'sister'?"

Then came a series of laughs.

"It looks pretty good." Seeing everyone arguing and fighting, Lena breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike everyone else, Rose possesses exceptional military skills and qualities.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

She's too arrogant.

With the mindset that she was a regular soldier, she looked down on Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang, who came from the grassroots, as "oddballs" and "misfits," which made it difficult for her to integrate into the team.

Fortunately, we finally broke the ice today. Although the process was a bit tortuous, at least it was a good start.
