Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory
Chapter 176 Captain
On the day they went to see Old Master Huo, Huo Ling asked Gao Lei to drive their own car, intending to leave after the visit and not plan to return to the Huo family.
Huo Yichuan and Wen Jingshu had been feeling incredibly depressed these past few days, wishing Huo Ling would leave as soon as possible. Huo Yichuan had originally been looking forward to his eldest son's return, but when his son came back, he was still unruly. So he decided to let it go. Anyway, he had so many children, one more wouldn't make a difference. Besides, it was better for a child to be obedient and sensible.
When the group arrived at the hospital, they walked to the building where the old man lived.
The guards downstairs hadn't left yet. A group of people dressed in combat uniforms and carrying laser guns were fully armed, which made them look very intimidating.
Huo Yichuan and Wen Jingshu are both ordinary people, but they also wore high-grade protective suits to withstand the high temperatures, wrapping themselves up tightly.
Huo Ling and the other five were still wearing their own team uniforms, which were lighter. The temperature today was 52 degrees Celsius, which was not too uncomfortable for people with superpowers.
Madam Huo was supposed to come, but she didn't because of her health condition and fear of heatstroke. None of her relatives or friends came to join in the fun either.
"Who is it?"
One of the guards walked over and scanned their group up and down.
Huo Yichuan turned to the children and scolded them, "All of you, be quiet and don't talk nonsense, especially you, Huo Ling, do you hear me? Keep your friends in check."
He looked down on Lin Shuangshuang, feeling that this wild girl was not worthy of being the Huo family's daughter-in-law. He considered her as just someone his son liked and playing around with. He didn't take her seriously, and he didn't like any of his teammates, including his eldest son.
Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang completely ignored him, and Luo Na and the other two were speechless. No one had said a word the whole way, and he suddenly started putting on airs.
Wen Jingshu, standing nearby, also instructed her three children, "Did you all hear that?"
Although Huo Ting, Huo Yuan, and Huo Zhixian were impatient, they all agreed, "We will definitely listen to Dad." "Me too."
Huo Yichuan adopted the demeanor of a patriarch before nodding with satisfaction. He then turned to the guard with the air of a friendly businessman and said, "My father is also hospitalized upstairs. We've come to visit him."
He handed over his business card as he spoke.
The other party looked at him and then said, "Oh, it's Mr. Huo. But... isn't the number of visitors a bit too many? I suggest you reduce your staff."
He said that security has been tight recently, and the risk of entering and leaving the building must be strictly controlled. So many visitors are not allowed. He said that only three or four people will be allowed to enter.
Luo Na and the other two immediately said they would wait downstairs. "Captain Huo, just call us if you need anything." "Okay, Brother Huo, you and Sister Shuangshuang go in." "Right."
Seeing this, Huo Ling nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go wait for us in the car."
Huo Yichuan and Wen Jingshu, however, didn't look too pleased, feeling that they were making things difficult for them. "Weren't you able to get in a few days ago? Why can't you this time?"
Huo Ting, Huo Yuan, and Huo Zhixian were already getting annoyed. "Isn't this just making us come all this way for nothing?" "It's so hot, you should have told us earlier if we couldn't come in!" "Who do you people think you are? You're just throwing your weight around. Do you even know who we are? You dare to stop us?"
Although the Huo family is usually unpretentious and very easygoing, many people used to flatter them, so this treatment is indeed unpleasant for them now.
The hospital director was an old friend of Huo Yichuan. He had previously donated a lot of money to support the hospital's projects, but now he was being blocked downstairs.
Some of the younger guards retorted defiantly, "Who cares who you are? Do you even know who's lying upstairs?! Without us risking our lives outside, would you be enjoying this kind of comfort?!"
A conflict was brewing.
The guard captain first reprimanded his own men, then saluted and apologized to Huo Yichuan, but still insisted on not letting so many people in.
Huo Yichuan smiled and expressed his understanding, but he also felt that his family of five should go in, "In addition to the five of us, my eldest son will also be included."
Huo Ling frowned, trying a different approach. She turned to the guard and asked, "Is there a limit to the number of visits? We can go in at different times."
Lin Shuangshuang looked at Huo Ling, knowing that he wouldn't abandon her, so she didn't say anything about staying and waiting for him.
She understands him so well.
Upon hearing this, the captain of the guards' tone softened, "There are no visitation slots; you can go in separately."
Huo Ling nodded, intending to take Lin Shuangshuang and Luo Na with him and leave first.
Huo Yichuan wouldn't allow it, and scolded in a low voice, "What kind of talk is this? Visiting your grandfather, the father and son have to go separately?! You can't leave!"
The scene was awkward.
"I came to see Grandpa, not to keep you company." Huo Ling ignored him completely and turned to leave. Lin Shuangshuang followed him.
Huo Yichuan called out to Huo Ling loudly. Wen Jingshu looked embarrassed. Huo Ting, Huo Yuan, and Huo Zhixian also wanted to find a hole to crawl into, feeling ashamed.
The commotion eventually attracted attention, and people happened to arrive from the other side.
"What's going on?" Prism strode over and asked the guards.
The guard captain looked troubled and explained the situation to him.
The prism had already spotted Lin Shuangshuang and immediately called out, "Captain!!"
The captain of the guard team was startled, almost thinking he was being called, but when he followed the gaze, he realized that it was actually the Huo family who were being called.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat, and I thought, "Oh no, I've offended someone!"
Although things aren't as particular in the apocalypse, people will still "do a favor" sometimes, since this kind of connection-based approach has always existed.
Lin Shuangshuang turned her head and saw the prism, which startled her. She grabbed Huo Ling and rubbed against him.
"What's there to be cowardly about?"
Huo Ling looked down at her and said gently, "This isn't the first time you've met them."
The little monster, who had no memory of the incident, bristled, "Huh? Really? When did I see him before?"
Huo Ling reminded her, "It's not him, there are three others, Cheng Ying, Zhi Meng, and Qing Luan? I think that's what they're called, are those their code names?"
Lin Shuangshuang frowned, "I'll check my notes later..."
Life without memories is terrible. If you slack off and don't finish watching, this is what happens. Her mind is blank, and she has no recollection of reuniting with Ryougi. It's really hurtful.
Prism had already come up to him like a puppy, pleading, "Captain."
Lin Shuangshuang gave an awkward laugh, "Hello, I'm not your captain anymore..."
Prism's expression was very sad.
Lin Shuangshuang changed the subject, "Is there something you wanted to see me about?"
Prism said it was nothing, he just wanted to say hello when he saw her. He said, "Dream Weaver and the others are here too, would you like to meet them later?"
Lin Shuangshuang smelled blood and frowned, instinctively asking, "You're injured? Where are they? Are you recuperating here?"
Prism felt guilty, but hearing the familiar tone still made his nose sting. He lowered his head and accepted the scolding, saying, "Yes." He felt his face burning.
"I didn't take good care of the three of them."
Huo Yichuan, Wen Jingshu, and the others were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
