Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
Chapter 268 Gathering and Raising Cubs in the Wasteland
A month later, a group of people arrived at Safety Zone 6. The leader was a middle-aged man who looked remarkably like Chang Xuan.
"I am your biological father."
Chang Xuan remained calm, sizing up the man sitting opposite him, and nodded: "We do look very alike. Judging from your entourage, you must have already confirmed our blood relation."
"Yes, I came to this safe zone on business back then, and I was set up and had an accident with your mother."
"My mom told me."
"What did she say?" The man's eyes sharpened.
Chang Xuan looked over calmly: "My mother said that what happened was an accident. The man looked like he was out of his mind. She was accidentally caught up in it."
"That's all she said?"
"What else do you think she'll say? A stranger, just an accident."
"A woman gives birth to a child alone and raises it with great difficulty, without any complaints?"
Chang Xuan scoffed, "Ha, please don't insult my mother with your narrow-minded perspective. The reason she decided to give birth to me was because my maternal grandparents were alive, and this family could afford to raise me. Even after my maternal grandparents passed away, my mother still raised me very well. Why should she complain? Don't you have any self-reliant women around you?"
The man glanced around the small courtyard, where two leaves were pitifully drying on a winnowing basket.
"You call that good upbringing? You need to understand, your paternal family is one—"
Chang Xuan stopped him from saying what he was about to say: "I know."
"You know? How could you possibly know? I've never told anyone. Your mother knows my identity? She investigated?"
"My mother never thought of looking for you, and neither did I. I know it's because I've been targeted like this lately, so she secretly investigated who did it and found out about your two good-for-nothing children. After learning more about you, considering how you look, and the time you came to this safe zone back then, how could I not guess it was normal?"
"You," the man said, his eyes brimming with pride. "So clever."
"Put away your pride. The way I am now is thanks to my mother's upbringing."
The man changed his tune: "No matter how good your mother is, she's just an ordinary superhuman. She has no family, her foundation is too weak, and she has no ability to withstand risks. If your two half-siblings make a move, you'll be powerless to resist. You won't be able to afford medical treatment or even enough to eat."
Chang Xuan laughed, a hearty laugh: "Mom used to go on missions frequently and explore new plants. Some people asked her, given the official emphasis on space ability users, if she just completed her missions properly, our lives would be fine. Why did she still work so hard? Mom said, she wanted to have the ability to support Xuanxuan."
This time, he wasn't seriously injured because of the targeting. His wife's coma had already been noticed by his doctor friend. The undisguised targeting by the newly arrived commander made him quickly decide to go into hiding. On the first night after moving back to the Chang family home, his wife woke up. However, she stayed in the room to cooperate with the act. She had enough to eat and drink, but she felt a little stifled.
As for him, although he had come up with a plan and his secret arrangements were quite well-organized, he still missed his mother. Remembering what his mother had said before she passed away, he took out a large box containing his childhood belongings, including his old clothes, children's watch, toys, and even the pebbles he used to play with as a child.
After he and his wife took everything out, they noticed that the bottom of the box was not the right thickness. Then he found the energy stones his mother had left him, wrapped in insulating material. There were twenty high-grade energy stones inside, along with a letter.
"Xuanxuan, Mom doesn't know how you found this place. If it's just for ordinary remembrance, then don't touch these energy stones. They're a backup plan. If you encounter difficulties, these energy stones will give you a breathing space."
It was a very short letter, written on paper he had doodled on as a child. But he noticed that some of the doodles had been altered and pointed to five locations: inside the walls of the Chang family courtyard, somewhere in the family compound, two locations outside the safe zone (one of which was near a high-radiation zone), and another that pointed to a person, Yan Xin, his mother's former boss, who had returned to the Yan family's ancestral home.
Chang Xuan cried while holding the letter, then sealed the bottom of the box back up. He hadn't reached the point of having to use his backup plan yet. He hadn't even told his wife about the five locations implied in the graffiti. These were left to him by his mother, giving him the courage and confidence to survive even in dire straits.
Superpowered individuals need to use energy stones to cultivate, I don't know how my mother managed to save so many energy stones.
The biological dialogue between father and son continues.
"Given your current state, what protection has she offered you? Besides, how long has she been dead? No matter how powerful she is, can she possibly stand against an entire family?"
"Your daughter's plantation recently ran into trouble, didn't it? Your son got into trouble with an ordinary woman, didn't he?"
The man's eyes sharpened: "Did you do this?"
"No, they're stupid."
"Hahaha, as expected of my bloodline, you strategize and win battles from afar. Go back with Father, and the family can provide you with resources, allowing you to manipulate events at will. That feeling is wonderful."
"No, what does your family have to do with me? My surname is Chang, and I am Chang Dongning's son."
The man sighed, "Sigh, you grew up away from home and haven't seen much of the world. If I had known this would happen, I should have brought you back sooner."
"Don't say such impossible things. You've known about my existence for a long time, and you couldn't have taken me back when I was a child. Now it's only because your wife, who is of equal social standing, has two incorrigible idiots that you've remembered me."
"No matter what, you are still my bloodline."
"If I don't acknowledge you, then you are nothing."
"You've lost even your position as deputy regimental commander. Do you think you can resist me?"
"Heh, what? You think you can control everything in this world? Tell me, wouldn't it be interesting if I had this face that looks exactly like yours and called your rival 'Dad'?"
The man's face darkened: "Are you crazy?"
"You really look down on me! You didn't even bother to investigate, you just wanted to take me back as a useful tool. Your rival's wife is my godmother." Chang Xuan calmly unleashed his trump card. His godmother was Ding Jiajia, who, due to some strange fate, married into the Sixth Safe Zone. His godfather was wise and ruthless, and treated his godmother very well.
Back then, Ding Jiajia insisted on becoming his godmother, and the reason was quite funny. She thought her godmother had good luck and could always find delicious food that others couldn't find. In order to get priority in exchanging the food, she brought a lot of gifts to become his godmother.
"Oh, right," Chang Xuan said lazily, "Yan Xin used to be my mother's boss."
