Armor: I can only summon the general

Chapter 816 Unspeakable

Hua He held the lunchbox in his hands, picked up a piece of shredded potato with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Because he had not eaten for a long time, he felt a soreness in his jaw and right cheek after chewing for only a couple of times.

For Huahe now, this discomfort was nothing; he chewed a couple more times, and the discomfort quickly subsided.

Recalling his past life, Hua He felt a little sad, but this also made him cherish everything he had now even more.

Seeing that Xi Zhao was leaning against the headboard and seemed a little awkward picking up food, Hua He picked up the lunchbox containing the food and put some on it for him.

"Come on, Xizhao, eat more."

"Add more eggs and dried tofu; they'll make the meal more appetizing."

"Aunt Hui's cooking is always delicious with rice."

The two chatted and laughed as they ate, enjoying a delicious and hearty breakfast.

After everyone finished eating, Hua He and Qiao Shefei helped Aunt Hui pack up her lunchbox and prepared to take her home.

Aunt Hui originally wanted to stay at the hospital, but there were already enough people there, so Hua He persuaded her to go home and take care of Xiao Lan and Min Ci.

With Hua He and the others at the hospital, Aunt Hui felt quite at ease. She didn't insist on going, but after giving everyone some careful instructions, she picked up her bag and headed to the dumpling restaurant.

Qiao Shefei wanted to ride his bicycle to take Aunt Hui back, but Hua He stopped him.

The reason is simple: Qiao Shefei's motorcycle is exactly the same as Hua He's. Not only does it not have a license plate, but Qiao Shefei himself does not have a driver's license either.

They could move freely before because they hadn't been caught. Now, there are patrol teams everywhere and checkpoints at every intersection. If they get caught, it will be very troublesome.

"Like yesterday when I rode my bike to the hospital, I was stopped by the patrol team on the way and they almost impounded me and my bike. If it weren't for the people from our security company, I probably would have wasted a lot of time."

After listening to Hua He's explanation, Qiao Shefei realized that he had been driving a motor vehicle without a license or registration for so long, which was really inappropriate.

"Alright, after this is all over, let's just get our licenses and registration done properly," Qiao Shefei said belatedly.

After Aunt Hui left, the ward returned to calm. Xin Nan and Xi Zhao were recovering and felt a little sleepy after eating. They soon fell asleep one after the other.

Hua He and Qiao Shefei did not disturb them. Hua He stayed in the large ward to keep watch, while Qiao Shefei delivered breakfast to An Mixiu, which she had specially reserved for him.

Hua He watched Qiao Shefei leave the ward, then looked back and saw that Xin Nan and Xi Zhao had already fallen asleep. He then quietly left the ward, took out his phone, and called Mei Zhen.

“Drip~Drip~Drip~”

The phone rang again, but this time Hua He was calm and not as anxious as he had been the night before.

…………

In the ERP research lab, Mei was having a video call with her brother, Dr. Garru.

“Meizhen, I have carefully read the report you just uploaded. This attack on the film industry had a clear objective, the whole process was interconnected, and the methods were extremely cruel, causing us huge losses.”

"Thanks to you all, you not only stopped the Shadow Realm's further offensive, but also protected the Light and Shadow Stone and the armor, preserving our strength to continue fighting against the Shadow Realm. Thank you for your hard work."

Dr. Garu had a gentle smile on his face, but his words made Mimi feel a little stiff.

"Brother, what's wrong with you today? Did something happen again?"

Dr. Garu's smile froze instantly when Mima asked him that question.

"Uh... was I being too obvious?"

Meizhen was speechless: "Brother, you're a researcher, so stop with the high-sounding platitudes. Save that for dealing with your boss. Just tell me what you need to say, or I'm hanging up."

"Ugh!"

After hearing Wan Zhen's words, Dr. Garu first sighed heavily, and then said with a worried expression:

"Actually, it was still the same meeting as yesterday. After you left the meeting room, Professor Ji and Director Liu talked for a long time, and even said some inappropriate things..."

"I knew it!"

Meizhen interrupted Dr. Garu with a hint of resentment.

"No wonder I felt uneasy yesterday; it turns out your boss was making a mess of things."

"Ahem!" Dr. Garu was a little embarrassed, but he still patiently continued, "Later, after being persuaded by Director Liu and me, the professor realized his mistake, so he wanted me to apologize to you on his behalf."

At this point, Dr. Garrut wisely changed the subject, maintaining his smiling expression.

However, Meizhen could still tell that her brother was holding back. "What else? Is an apology all you want?"

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you. Actually, I didn't intend to hide it from you; I just wanted to put it more tactfully." Dr. Garru's smile was somewhat forced.

Dr. Garu's expression made Meizhen feel exhausted, so she asked directly, "What exactly is Professor Ji trying to say?"

Since Meizhen had already said so, Dr. Jialu didn't bother with any further rhetoric and simply recounted the matter Professor Ji had entrusted to him the day before.

"That's right, Meizhen. Actually, Director Liu gave Professor Ji a stern warning yesterday. Professor Ji knows he was wrong and wants me to apologize to you on his behalf."

Also, the professor asked me to help him contact Hua He to see if I could find some time to meet with him. He has some questions he'd like to ask Hua He in person.

After speaking, Dr. Garu quietly stared at the screen, waiting for Meizhen's reply.

Through the images on the screen, Dr. Garu noticed that Mei was truly thinking, which put him in a dilemma, fearing that his sister might refuse him outright if she got angry.

Just as Dr. Garu was pondering how to persuade his sister, Mimi looked up and gave a reply.

"How about this, I'll call Hua He in a bit and ask him if he'd be willing to meet Professor Ji, and then I'll give you an answer."

"Great, that's the way to go. I'll wait for your news."

This time, Dr. Garu's smile was very genuine: "Then I won't bother you any longer. You go ahead and do your work. I still have some work to take care of. I'll hang up now."

"Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

Meizhen hung up the video call as soon as she finished speaking, turned around to look for her phone, but couldn't find it, so she hurriedly tried to recall it in her mind.

"It seems like I left my phone in the bathroom while washing up."

Thinking of this, Meizhen quickly deactivated the base's defense system and went outside to find her phone.

As soon as she left the base, she heard her phone ringing. Meizhen quickly went into the restroom, picked up her phone from the sink, and saw that it was Huahe calling. She immediately pressed the answer button.

"Hey? Huahe, I have something I wanted to ask you."

"Oh? What a coincidence! I also have something to tell you; we might be in bigger trouble."

Upon hearing Hua He's voice on the phone, Mei Zhen immediately became suspicious. "What's wrong? Did something happen to Xin Nan and the others?"

"More or less. Xin Nan and the others were corrupted during the battle and may temporarily lose their ability to summon armor."

Hua He's voice reached Mei Zhen's ears like a giant hammer striking her heart.

"Oh no! This is a huge problem!"
