150: Chapter 150: A New Mission Triggers at Dragon Capital!

After Xu Hao left for Longdu, Huang Shouguo of the Southern Military Region arrived only to find him gone.

He took his guards and went straight to the Xu's Heavy Industry factory area.

Only after asking the guards at the gate did he learn that Xu Hao and the others had already left for Longdu.

"When did they leave?"

Huang Shouguo asked the military guards.

Now.

The security level of Xu's Heavy Industry had increased by another level; the previous elderly gatekeeper had retired to enjoy his old age, and all personnel had been replaced by the military.

The guard replied:

"They've been gone for three days."

Knowing that the man before him was the Commander of the Southern Military Region, he became exceptionally respectful and dared not hide anything.

Huang Shouguo's heart immediately sank.

Gone for three days?!

His information was too outdated...

He had thought he would be the first to visit Xu Hao at Xu's Heavy Industry.

But he hadn't expected that Xu Hao would actually go to Longdu.

Huang Shouguo didn't even need to think to know what Xu Hao was doing in Longdu.

"No, I have to hurry to Longdu as well."

Huang Shouguo thought to himself.

No matter what, he had to secure one or two H-20s. If nothing else, Engineer Xu had to compensate their Southern Military Region's 'wounded' hearts!

Such a massive stealth bomber flying directly over the Southern Military Region had given them quite a shock.

At the very least, the mental anguish fees for the entire Southern Military Region were worth at least two H-20s!

Thinking of this, Commander Huang bid farewell to the guards and returned to the Southern Military Region.

After requesting permission from Longdu, he took a special plane and headed straight there.

He had to hurry; otherwise, all the good stuff would be snatched away by people from the other military regions.

Just as Huang Shouguo thought.

There are no secrets that can be kept forever; the Eastern, Central, Western, and Northern Military Regions naturally found out about Xu's Heavy Industry's successful test flight of the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber.

Without a second thought, they rushed straight to Longdu!

For a time, the Commanders of several major military regions hurried to Longdu, not for anything else but to meet with Xu Hao.

...

Longdu.

Professor Zhou Xuemin arrived at Xu Hao's courtyard house early in the morning and had breakfast with him.

Afterward, the two of them took a special car together and headed straight for The Compound.

Inside the car, looking at Xu Hao sitting next to him, Professor Zhou Xuemin comforted him:

"Don't be nervous. The person you're going to meet won't do anything to you; he just wants to see you!"

Xu Hao was stunned; he hadn't expected Professor Zhou Xuemin to think he was nervous.

To be honest, he didn't care much about who he was meeting.

As for being nervous, that was even less of a concern.

The reason he was lost in thought was that the system had triggered a new task.

Two tasks were displayed on the virtual panel of the [MOSS Technology System].

"Ding~ Task triggered. Please make a choice, Host:"

"Option 1: Refuse the elder's request and activate the Future Lifestyle Technology Blueprint Mall!"

"Option 2: Accept the elder's request and activate the Future Aviation Blueprint Mall!"

Xu Hao's eyes lit up slightly.

How long... how long had it been since a task was triggered?

Finally.

If the occasion weren't inappropriate, Xu Hao would have really wanted to sigh with emotion:

"System, you finally remembered the random tasks!"

After calming down, Xu Hao looked at these two tasks and fell into thought.

The elder's request? Was it the elder he was about to meet?

At this moment, Xu Hao felt a hint of curiosity about the elder's identity.

"Accept the elder's request? What kind of request will he make?"

Xu Hao didn't know.

But no matter what the request was, he had already made a decision in his heart.

That was, to accept it no matter what.

After all, between these two choices, there was no need to even think—he would definitely choose the second one.

Before long, the car arrived at the gate of a large compound.

It was also a courtyard house, but this was The Compound, and it was much larger than Xu Hao's courtyard.

There were many bodyguards in black suits in front of the door, and many men with buzz cuts in plain clothes around.

If you thought they were ordinary people, you would likely suffer a great loss.

Xu Hao's heart stirred.

He said nothing, got out of the car, and entered The Compound with Professor Zhou Xuemin after passing through security at the entrance.

As soon as he entered, a hint of warm and comfortable air drifted into his nose, mixed with the unique fragrance of flowers and plants, making Xu Hao's mind much clearer.

Xu Hao took a deep breath with a look of intoxication. When he opened his eyes and noticed countless sharp gazes in the shadows, his heart trembled slightly.

The elder's identity... just what is it?

Without letting him think for too long, Professor Zhou Xuemin led him into the inner part of The Compound.

Under a large tree in the yard, there was a sandalwood table with a tea set on it.

An elderly man with thinning hair but only scattered white strands sat on a wooden chair, brewing tea.

Sensing the movement behind him, the elder did not look back but spoke to himself:

"You're here?!"

Hearing this, Professor Zhou Xuemin stepped forward. "Elder Long!"

After greeting him, he introduced Xu Hao to Elder Long.

"Xu Hao is here..."

At this moment, the elder had just finished brewing a pot of tea. He stood up and first looked Xu Hao up and down.

Nodding, a genial smile appeared on his aged face.

"Not bad, not bad. Quite the talented young man!"

Xu Hao stepped forward to greet him, following Professor Zhou Xuemin's lead.

"Elder Long!"

At this moment, he finally knew the identity of the elderly man before him.

Elder Long, full name Long Yi.

The only surviving Founding General of the Dragon Kingdom!!

This land beneath their feet was precisely what Elder Long and countless predecessors had fought for with their own flesh and blood.

Xu Hao's heart trembled.

He hadn't expected that the person he was meeting today would be an old soldier, a senior, the backbone of the nation!

Thinking of this, Xu Hao solemnly bowed to Elder Long again.

"Junior Xu Hao greets Founding General Elder Long." Xu Hao respected such seniors from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for their bloody battles, the Dragon Kingdom wouldn't exist today.

"Hahaha..." Seeing Xu Hao's behavior, Elder Long laughed heartily.

From the moment Xu Hao entered until now, it had only been a few simple greetings.

But in Elder Long's heart, he liked this young man even more.

The pure and flawless respect in the youth's heart allowed Elder Long to instantly know what kind of person Xu Hao was.

Previously, he had only known about Xu Hao from Professor Zhou Xuemin's mouth. Now that he saw and heard him in person, he could be said to have an in-depth understanding of Xu Hao.

Exceptional ability, humble and polite.

After laughing, the joy on Elder Long's face did not diminish in the slightest.

"Don't be formal. Treat this place as your own home."

He gestured for Xu Hao to sit at the tea table.

Looking at Xu Hao, his face carried a hint of concern one would show for a younger generation.

"Since coming to Longdu, have you gotten used to living here?"

Xu Hao nodded. "Professor Zhou arranged everything very thoughtfully; everything is perfect."

He gradually came to his senses and calmed down.

Feeling the friendliness from Elder Long, Xu Hao was no longer as nervous as before.

On the contrary, talking with Elder Long now was like talking with those old grandfathers from his hometown.

Elder Long possessed the kind and gentle nature of the older generation, making one feel very comfortable.

"Hahaha... In that case, you should stay in Longdu for a few more days."

Elder Long said happily.

Hearing this, Xu Hao was slightly stunned and thought to himself:

"Did you two elders plan this together? Why do you both want me to stay in Longdu for a while?"

Professor Zhou Xuemin also chimed in from the side:

"Yes, anyway, the H-20 project is now perfectly completed. Xiao Hao, you should take a good rest for a while."

At the mention of the H-20, Elder Long's gaze immediately shifted to Xu Hao, and a touch of excitement welled up in his cloudy eyes.
