Back at the small castle, all five of them were exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Zhang Dapeng was already waiting in the living room on the first floor. Seeing the five of them looking dejected, he asked, "How was it? Was this mission difficult?"

He looked at the five of them and was relieved to find that they did not have any obvious external injuries.

Huo Ling took off his combat uniform and said, "The difficulty was alright, but I almost got tricked."

It can only be said that the human heart is more terrifying than a ghost.

Wu Zhe couldn't hold back any longer. He ripped off his combat uniform and started talking to Zhang Dapeng, recounting how the Yangzi Jie squad ambushed Lin Shuangshuang and how the gang behind them had targeted her.

Yang Zi revealed that those individuals didn't even take other superhumans seriously.

"These people, for the sake of profit, have truly become less than human! It's terrifying!"

Zhang Dapeng patted the back of his head, "Hey, you're all sweaty. Go take a shower. It's not surprising that some people don't behave themselves these days. We'll talk about this properly later. You guys go wash up first, and then we'll eat."

He had already asked the first and second children to prepare the meal, while the third and fourth children were cleaning upstairs.

Wu Zhe nodded. "It's still best to be at home. The outside world is too dangerous."

Everyone laughed after hearing that.

Huo Ling threw his soiled combat uniform into the laundry basket, then turned and took Lin Shuangshuang away.

Luo Na and Gao Lei were also exhausted. This trip was indeed quite tiring. They had been on high alert and dared not slack off, but now that they were home, fatigue overwhelmed them, leaving them seeing stars.

When Zhao Ping was born, the others had already gone upstairs to take a shower.

Zhang Dapeng didn't leave; he waited for the five of them on the first floor. When he turned around and saw Zhao Pingsheng coming down, he smiled and said, "Didn't you say you were too lazy to deal with those five?"

Zhao Pingsheng resisted the urge to roll his eyes and poured himself a cup of tea. "What's going on? I heard someone's got their eyes on Shuang'er? And they've even laid an ambush on them?"

Zhang Dapeng said he didn't know the details either, "We'll talk about it when the five of them come down."

It was rare for the seven of us to eat lunch together.

It is currently the midnight sun.

The missions were carried out day and night, and when they were hungry they would just eat a few bites of dry rations.

They all forgot about time.

The three of them, including Lorna, wolfed down their food, exclaiming that home-cooked meals were the best!

Today's dishes are tomato and egg stir-fried noodles, stir-fried beef, salted bok choy, stir-fried snow peas, poached chicken, braised duck, and braised pork.

The soup is seaweed soup.

The aroma is so enticing it makes you dizzy.

Wu Zhe almost burst into tears, "It's so good to be alive, and it's so good to be able to eat so much delicious food."

Especially now that the situation outside is getting worse and worse, in the high temperatures, if they weren't superhumans, they would probably suffocate outside.

After Rona felt a little better, she ate much slower. "Outside, there's nothing but barren land, just rocks, sand, and ruins."

She shook her head.

Humanity is doomed.

In such circumstances, how can people not be united, and how can some people harm others for their own benefit?

Lin Shuangshuang listened and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, everyone has been implicated because of me."

As soon as she said that...

Everyone quickly stopped them.

"How come you're the one who got dragged into this? It's not your fault, it's all those people's fault. Shuang'er, what fault could you have made? You can't choose your birth."

"That's right, Shuangshuang, don't think like that. Besides, we're on the same team, we're family. If they bully you, they're bullying us!"

"Well, and you've saved us quite a few times before. According to you, we've also dragged you into this mess quite a few times, but you still helped us, didn't you? Now that you're in trouble, of course we should stand together. Don't overthink it."

The three of them, including Lorna, were trying to comfort her, afraid that she would get stuck in a rut.

Zhao Pingsheng also said, "If those people can target you, they will naturally target others in the future. The later it gets, the more capable the team will stand out. Each of you may be targeted. Now is not the time to feel guilty, but the time to improve your abilities as quickly as possible."

He pointed out the key point.

Zhang Dapeng chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Shuang'er, relax and don't blame yourself. We're all family, there's no such thing as being implicated."

Huo Ling glanced at Lin Shuangshuang and added, "Did you hear that?"

Lin Shuangshuang looked at him, then at the others, and finally nodded, saying with emotion, "Okay, sure."

Everyone then started laughing.

The younger children were busy running around, and now they were pushing a small cart, saying: "[Dessert is here!] [Today it's Cantonese dessert~~]"

There were double-skin milk pudding, mung bean soup, herbal jelly, and so on; I made a little of each.

The three of them, including Luo Na, exclaimed that Xiao Yi and Xiao Er had gone to great lengths today, even skipping their TV shows to spend time making such exquisite desserts.

There are quite a few varieties.

Zhang Dapeng laughed heartily, "I had them do it. You guys had a dangerous trip, so this is to calm you down and give you some good nourishment. You've really worked hard."

Luo Na and the other two were deeply moved and all told Zhang Dapeng that they loved him.

Zhang Dapeng got goosebumps all over. "You lot, don't give me that! I haven't settled accounts with you for taking on the mission without consulting me first."

He then asked Huo Ling beside him, "Isn't it, Xiao Huo? When are you going to hand in your self-criticism?"

Huo Ling had no choice but to accept her fate and said, "I'll give it to you later."

Zhao Pingsheng couldn't help but gloat, "You got what you deserved!"

Lin Shuangshuang also felt guilty, because it was clearly the task she wanted to take, but Huo Ling was taking the blame.

after eating.

Everyone moved to a different spot, placing the desserts on the coffee table so they could enjoy them while the meeting continued.

Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng first accused the five of accepting dangerous missions without consulting them, and then made all five of them write self-criticisms.

"Even though we often go into seclusion, we still have the right to know, don't we?"

"that is."

"Look at you all! Don't you have any conscience? Isn't this going too far?"

"That's going too far!"

Zhao Pingsheng accused the group, while Zhang Dapeng played along like a straight man.

Luo Na and the other two wanted to laugh but didn't dare. They obediently accepted the scolding but quickly said they wouldn't do it again and would definitely tell the other two.

Huo Ling knew he couldn't get past this, so he obediently accepted the scolding. Lin Shuangshuang also lowered her head, unable to resist picking at her fingers, feeling very guilty.

Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng couldn't continue. They looked at each other, waved their hands, and said, "Never mind, never mind." Seeing them like this, they couldn't bring themselves to scold them.

It's enough that you know you were wrong.

This matter is now completely over.

Luo Na and the other two fawned over Zhang Dapeng and Zhao Pingsheng, massaging them and asking if they were comfortable. Huo Ling silently poured them tea.

Lin Shuangshuang pushed the desserts towards them and said sincerely, "They're all for you."

This made them both feel embarrassed. "What are you doing?" "Did you do this on purpose? To make us feel guilty, huh? You still need to be disciplined!"

Huo Ling pushed the teacup towards them. "No, this is our sincere apology. We really neglected you two. We are a team. As you said, although you are in the support position, we shouldn't have taken on the task without your permission. We should have discussed it together."

He was wrong, and he hurt them both, so he had to comfort them.
