Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Roy: Damn it, Zhang Hao is such a traitor! He went on vacation to Babel and ate and drank his fill, but he didn't take me with him! Damn it, next time he comes, I'll put some bitters in his water glass.

After reading Zhang Hao's letter telling everyone not to worry, everyone turned their attention to Wuming, who was still lying at the door.

"Oh?! He's a masked man!"

When Wei Long saw that this bro liked to wear a mask just like Mai Xiaowen, he was curious and came up to him. He turned him over and looked at the masked Wuming, then fell into deep thought.

"What do you think... if I take off his mask, take a picture, and then Photoshop it, will he kill me if he sees it?"

Everyone: 666, this kid is hopeless, he should stick with Roy, he'll die faster that way.

Zoya also said impatiently:

"Go ahead and remove it. I promised to remove the Relink brain-computer interface for him, so I'll have to remove it anyway. He's not awake yet, so you can do whatever you want with him."

Wei Long (eyes shining): Oh! Then I won't be polite! (*^▽^*)

Chapter 222 Eating Below (Bonus Chapter)

(Thanks to the owner of Badradar for the support and encouragement ('▽`???))

"Alright, alright, you can go play somewhere else. Who's going to carry him to the operating room? He just fainted. I'll work overtime and remove his Relink brain-computer interface."

Zoya stretched and had two people carry the unconscious Wuming into the operating room. She then went upstairs and retrieved a set of professional equipment from the room.

Wei Long "kindly" removed the nameless man's mask, then happily took a few photos before going back to edit them. Before leaving, he even said to Red Wolf, "I'm more handsome than you," which successfully angered the red wolf, almost leading to a duel between males in the operating room.

But under Roy's "death stare," the two of them whistled and scratched their heads as they went back to their respective homes.

Dragon/Red Wolf: Damn it, the Secret Service rules state that Roy is invincible in the operating room. A wise man knows when to yield; let's retreat first.

Meanwhile, Rometheus, who had left Wuming to Zoya with a headache, also got completely drunk with Ella, and the two of them fell asleep on their chairs.

the next morning.

Rometheus had thought today would be another wonderful day, but before he could even begin to greet it, he was woken up early by a phone call from Demulan.

"Demulan, what the hell are you calling so early in the morning! You're old and don't need that much sleep, but I do. Can't you talk about it later when I'm more alert?"

"I'm afraid Audrey's body will rot if we wait any longer. You'd better send me her autopsy report by noon, otherwise I don't know what I might do. I might take something from you with the North Star."

Rometheus shuddered involuntarily after hearing this. That damned Demulan, all she does is threaten me with her North Star every day. Damn it, everyone has a weapon, and my 93R isn't exactly a bad match either!

"Alright, alright, just sit tight and wait. It's not like you're the one who's getting tired. You're always nagging me. People who don't know better would think you're my boss!"

"The weather in Bakshi has been quite nice lately. I'm planning to visit you for a few days. What do you think?"

Demulan looked at the large table of documents in front of him, his face darkening. Getting an autopsy report from him was like a nightmare, and it would be exhausting for him too. If he was so capable, he should switch places with him. In less than a day, Rometheus would be crying and begging for his foot in exchange.

Moreover, just last night, when Demulan thought about how Richard had found him like a madman and asked him to lead a team to hunt down Nameless, he had already gone to bed. But when he heard Richard's order, Rometheus was the first person that came to mind. Demulan was certain that although he didn't know what had happened, anything related to Nameless was definitely connected to Rometheus.

Demulan: You wretched guy, all you do is make me miserable. I'll come after you one day when you're caught off guard and come find you in your Tower of Babel.

After hanging up the phone, Rometheus looked like he had lost his soul and prepared to go to the autopsy room to dissect Audrey and analyze the lethal toxins, looking like a working person forced to go to work.

"Oh, Uncle Rometheus, good morning! It's another beautiful day!"

At this moment, Zhang Hao's voice came from behind Rometheus. After a good night's sleep, Zhang Hao got up early, which was rare for him. If Deep Blue and the others saw this, they would probably be moved to tears!

Deep Blue: Xiao Hao has grown up. He can actually go to bed early and get up early now. But why isn't he so sensible in the Special Operations Department? Damn it, I'll remember you, Rometheus.

Upon seeing Zhang Hao, Rometheus forced a smile. "If it weren't for Demulan's phone call, today might have been a truly wonderful day."

"Good morning, Xiao Hao. Go and call Ella to have breakfast together. I still need to dissect a... uh, a corpse."

Rometheus sighed as he realized he had to send the autopsy report to Demulan before noon.

"Oh? Is it in such a hurry? I was just saying I'd make you some breakfast, it'll be ready in half an hour!"

"Ahem, nothing is more important than eating, Xiao Hao. Let's go. The prerequisite for work is to have good health. Let's go, let's call Ella. I haven't tried your cooking yet."

Rometheus: Heh heh, I'll take the easy way out if there's a way. I'll take the easy way out if I can. Let those people who just bury themselves in their work all day keep competing with each other. I'll stay put.

De Moulin: Keep swearing. (╬▔皿▔)╯

Rometheus also woke up Ella, who was still fast asleep, and led the two of them to the kitchen he had prepared beforehand.

Rometheus originally planned to treat himself to a nutritious meal every day, but after he made a bunch of black unidentified objects for the first time, the kitchen was successfully left unused, and he would just use it to make instant noodles or a cup of coffee.

"Wow, you're in luck! The ingredients just arrived yesterday. So, Xiao Hao, I'm really looking forward to seeing what delicious dishes you can make!"

Ella, standing to the side, rolled her eyes at Rometheus again with disdain. Damn it, how come the chocolate honey syrup bread she specially made for him before only tasted good? This preferential treatment is too obvious!

Ella: Damn it, could it be that Rometheus... No, no, I have to stop him from continuing with this wrong way of thinking.

The situation at the time was that Rometheus stared blankly at the bread in front of him that could kill someone with its savory taste and Ella's confident expression. Only after using his super willpower to force it all into his stomach did Ella finally withdraw her murderous gaze and aura.

Rometheus would never forget that morning when he drank seven glasses of water but still couldn't feel better. In the end, he only felt a little better after taking advantage of Ella's inattention and vomiting it all up.

From then on, Rometheus finally understood that he and his apprentice should stop messing around in the field of cooking, as it might actually lead to someone's death.

Rometheus: My life is tough, but I won't say it. ≡(▔﹏▔)≡

Zhang Hao glanced at the ingredients in the refrigerator, and after a moment's thought, decided to make some noodles for them to try.

After quickly preparing the ingredients, Zhang Hao started boiling water to cook noodles, while at the dining table outside, Rometheus began trying to persuade Ella to come and help him dissect Audrey later.

"The noodles are here, be careful they're hot, blow on them to cool them down before you eat."

Under Rometheus's beaming gaze, Zhang Hao also came out carrying three bowls of noodles and placed them in front of the two of them.

Rometheus, who had been eagerly waiting, picked up a fork, twirled the food, blew on it a couple of times, and put it in his mouth.

"Holy crap! This is so delicious!"

Rometheus: Waaaaah, family, this is what food is meant to be eaten! What kind of miserable life did I have with Ella before!

Chapter 223 Part 1... is it online?

Under the astonished gazes of Zhang Hao and Ella, Rometheus devoured a large bowl of noodles in less than two minutes, then leaned back in his chair with a contented burp.

"Phew! That feels so good! Xiao Hao, your cooking is amazing! If you ask me, you should teach Ella and me next time. You know, the two of us..."

But before Rometheus could finish speaking, Ella's "Iron Fist of Love" slammed into Rometheus's head.

"Alright, you can shut up and get lost. Go do your thing and don't badmouth me to Xiao Hao. My cooking skills are much better than yours."

Rometheus: Uh... ≡(▔﹏▔)≡

After agreeing with Ella to help him later, Rometheus took his leave. He felt much better after eating the breakfast that Xiao Hao had prepared. It was a pity that he couldn't show off in front of Demulan yet. If she found out that her beloved son-in-law was with him... well, he didn't want to think about it. Rometheus felt terrible just thinking about it.

After having breakfast with Ella, Zhang Hao began wandering aimlessly around the Tower of Babel. Looking at the familiar layout, Zhang Hao almost went over and took the resuscitation ventilator in the infirmary without realizing it, but unfortunately, he didn't have the nine-slot insurance from the game.

Zhang Hao: Damn it, why can't Fatty evacuate from inside the Tower of Babel?

After wandering around for a while and feeling a bit bored, Zhang Hao returned to his room. Yesterday, Rometheus had someone deliver a computer to him. Since he had finished exercising, he figured he could play some games when he had nothing to do.

Just as Zhang Hao was turning on his computer and preparing to start the battle, he discovered that a large number of people had already gathered at the information station downstairs.

"Oh?! Repairs are starting? Did Uncle Red Wolf and his gang come here yesterday just to sabotage the information station? Sigh, give me back my gratitude. And I wonder when Sister Xiaowen will be able to contact me. I don't know if they'll still be worried about me after that letter I wrote to them."

Meanwhile, inside the Special Operations Department, Roy had accidentally smacked his lips while eating, so Deep Blue, still furious, was pinning him down on the sofa and giving him a good beating on both sides of his buttocks.

"Why did you lose Xiao Hao? Say something! Why didn't you lose yourself? When I woke up this morning, I felt heartbroken thinking about poor Xiao Hao still trapped in the Tower of Babel. Huh? Roy, say something!"

Roy (unconscious): Uh... Stop taking your anger out on me! I can't help it!

Red Wolf/Mai Xiaowen (trembling): Waaaaah, Xiao Hao, please come back soon! Shen Lan looks more than ten years younger now! And since you beat up Roy, you can't beat us anymore! Shen Lan's temper is back! Waaaaah!

"Phew, Zoya, has that person from yesterday woken up yet? I have a few questions to ask him."

Seeing that Roy looked almost dead, Deep Blue temporarily spared Roy's butt. At this moment, Roy's butt must be the most prominent in the Secret Service, and it looks like it could rival Reese's.

Roy: Thanks, I'm not quite dead yet. I suggest someone come over and give me an injection to prolong my life.

Zoya shook her head. It would take some time for the Relink brain-computer interface to recover after being removed. She probably wouldn't wake up until tonight.

Shen Lan could only sigh helplessly after hearing this. Although Xiao Hao wrote to tell them not to worry, what parent wouldn't worry about their child, especially since he had been kidnapped to that godforsaken place, Hafk? Although it was Xiao Hao's hometown, if he were comfortable in his hometown, how could he possibly escape?

The thought of his obedient, sensible, and considerate child, who was willing to sacrifice himself to ensure the safe return of these three, made Deep Blue wish he could just grab his shield and head straight to the Tower of Babel to demand them back. They were his own children! Not your damn human experiment subjects, Harfk's!

Rometheus: You're talking nonsense! I was clearly treating him to good food and drinks, wasn't I just trying to find a good friend for my son? This is what a good father should do, what do you know, and why are you using your outdated ideas to judge us?

Seeing Shen Lan like this, Mai Xiaowen comforted her:

"Don't worry, Deep Blue. They should be able to restore the communication station in the next day or two. As long as Xiao Hao's phone is still with him, we can contact him immediately. If his phone is confiscated, then we can take action."

But Shenlan still sat forlornly on one side of the sofa like a lonely old man, thinking that he had taught countless students, but none of them had ever satisfied him as much as Xiaohao. Looking at Roy lying half-dead beside him, he really felt a little embarrassed to hit him again.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, Deep Blue raised his head and scanned everyone at the table before finally fixing his gaze on Uluru, who was still secretly drinking the last bottle of beer left by Zhang Hao.

“Uluru, after you finish eating, put on your protective gear and come find me at the gym’s ring. I’m very dissatisfied with your performance last time; you need to train more.”

Uluru, who had just taken a sip of his drink and was about to chuckle, froze. Wait, why wasn't it Roy, but himself? Wasn't Terry more resilient than him? Besides, weren't they all watching from the embankment last time? Why was he being so dissatisfied with him?

Uluru: Okay, now I'm going to get beaten up. Are you all satisfied now? Next time I'm going to block the bridge at the space station!!!

Those who had escaped this ordeal were praying that the communication system at Babel would be repaired quickly so that Deep Blue and Zhang Hao could make a video call. Otherwise, it might be their turn tomorrow.

After finishing breakfast, everyone went back to their rooms, leaving only Uluru sitting in a chair, looking melancholy and sighing.

Mai Xiaowen, feeling down, turned on her computer and, on a whim, opened the MOBA game that she and Xiao Hao usually enjoyed playing together.

However, after Mai Xiaowen logged into the game, she was surprised to find that Xiao Hao's avatar was lit up in her account list, showing that the game had been going on for 3 minutes.

"Deep Blue! Come quick, there's news about Xiao Hao!!!"

Chapter 224 The Call

Mai Xiaowen's shout not only successfully summoned Shen Lan from the gym, but also caused all the doors on the second floor to open silently, starting with Roy. All the onlookers peeked out in unison, exchanged glances, and then began to head towards Mai Xiaowen's room.

"What's going on with Mai Xiaowen? Is there news about Xiao Hao? Hey Weilong, get out of the way, don't block the way."

Shen Lan rushed upstairs in a hurry, intending to go in and see what Mai Xiaowen wanted to do by calling her up, but a group of onlookers successfully blocked her way.

Deep Blue, impatient, picked up Wei Long, the number one bystander in front of him, and threw him out of the room.

Wei Long: Waaaaah, it's over! The best spot for watching the drama is gone. I can't enjoy watching the drama anymore. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Upon seeing Shenlan arrive, Mai Xiaowen pointed to the section on the computer screen showing online game friends and explained:

"This is a game that Xiaohao and I usually play together. Since we always play on the Chinese server, we can communicate normally here. I just didn't expect that Xiaohao would be able to play on the computer there."
