60: go home!
That afternoon, after Chen Fan and the Dragon Breath Squad captain had a simple meal at the Ninth Army Base, they took a special train back to Kyoto Base City.
Chen Fan politely declined Fu Qingxi's invitation to serve as the deputy captain of the Dragon Breath Squad.
He still decided to be a lone Warrior General, becoming an unregistered member of the Ninth Army.
This way, his treatment and position would remain unchanged, only he would have more freedom.
Because only in this way, for Chen Fan as he was now, was it the best method.
He needed to grow quickly and had no choice but to make this decision.
Chen Fan had a premonition that staying in the army would not lead to as rapid improvement as venturing into the Wilderness Area alone.
Fu Qingxi and the others did not object to Chen Fan's decision.
At this moment, Chen Fan also realized that behind all these matters was the shadow of Fu Fengxue, the commander of the Ninth Army.
Chen Fan thought to himself, his thoughts drawn back to that morning—the middle-aged commander with two golden stars on his shoulder and the words he had spoken.
Gradually, Chen Fan's gaze became even more resolute... Pulling his thoughts back, Chen Fan already had a decision in his heart.
When they parted, Chen Fan held the lieutenant colonel military rank and silver medal given by the Dragon Breath Squad captain.
For a moment, Chen Fan found it hard to calm down.
From a seventeen-year-old high school student to a High-level General lieutenant colonel, Chen Fan had only taken less than a month.
"Dear passengers, please take your valuables and luggage and prepare to disembark."
The female flight attendant's voice rang out, and Chen Fan, dressed in casual clothes, slung his backpack over his shoulder and stepped off the train.
"I'm home!"
Looking at the bustling and lively train station, Chen Fan even had an unreal feeling, as if he had been transported to another world.
After two consecutive beast tides, Chen Fan deeply felt the cruelty and desolation of the Wilderness Area.
Among the surrounding tide of monsters, only a handful of Warrior Generals survived.
Every time they returned, these Warrior Generals had to thank the weapons in their hands.
Dense crowds of waiting passengers moved back and forth in the station building, and among them were not a few Warrior Generals.
From the Kyoto Base City's population of over 300 million, one could imagine how noisy the station here would be.
This feeling was truly wonderful!
Returning to the safe Base City, and feeling the presence of civilization and human activity again, a realization emerged in Chen Fan's mind—the Base City was humanity's last bastion of civilization.
When this base was threatened by monsters, Warrior Generals with extraordinary power would naturally step forward to protect the base and resist the monsters.
Especially a High-level General like himself, who could unleash power far beyond his own, easily annihilating a Beast General with a single strike.
If these ordinary people were to go into battle, perhaps a thousand of them would not be enough for even one ordinary Beast General-level monster to slaughter.
This was the huge difference between ordinary humans and mutated monsters.
For this reason, the country and even the entire world would grant Warrior Generals privileges and an extraordinary status.
Because only by hunting more monsters could the safety of human base cities be further guaranteed.
Suddenly, Chen Fan thought of his parents.
"Hello, Mom."
Chen Fan dialed the home phone and called his parents in this life.
"Xiao Fan."
Hearing her son's voice, his mother was clearly very pleasantly surprised: "What do you want to eat? I'll have your dad go to the big supermarket outside to buy it."
"Life here is all good, it's just too big, it takes a long time to buy groceries once."
"After dinner, your dad and I will take you to explore the area."
"Compared to Chepi Village where our home was, this place is simply heaven."
"..."
Listening to his mother's rambling, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a slight pang in his eyes and said, "You don't need to go to too much trouble, I'll just have some home-cooked meals."
"Good... Good good!!!"
His mother's joyful voice came through, and Chen Fan felt a warm current surging in his heart.
Beihe District, Shanshui Community.
As the sun set, the orange light bathed the entire villa area, with lush green trees, a beautiful autumn scene.
A taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, and only after Chen Fan showed his identification information was it allowed to pass.
Beep beep beep!!!
The taxi stopped in front of a three-story villa with a stepped-back style, which looked very comfortable at first glance.
Compared to the dirty, messy, and poor urban villages of the past, the environment here was undoubtedly many times better.
At the entrance of the villa, a large group of people had already gathered—Chen Fan's parents, relatives, as well as teachers, the dean of studies, and several principals from Hengshui High School.
There were even some middle-aged men in suits, looking upright and clearly high-ranking leaders in the system.
Chen Fan opened the car door and got out, immediately seeing his parents at the very front.
"Xiao Fan!" His mother was the first to call out.
"Xiao Fan."
"Chen Fan!"
"..."
"Mom and Dad, all the teachers and principals."
Chen Fan hugged his parents and teachers one by one, feeling the joy of his relatives and teachers.
Beside them, the group of men in suits also looked very excited.
"Xiao Fan, let me introduce you, this is the district chief and deputy district chief of Beihe District, and other relevant leaders..."
Chens Father held his hand and introduced all the guests present.
Chen Fan also politely smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Lieutenant Colonel Chen Fan, hello, I am Zhang Ze, the District Chief of Beihe District."
"Warrior General Chen, hello, I am the Deputy District Chief..."
"..."
A group of middle-aged men in suits faced Chen Fan, their faces full of deference.
They had already received information from the Ninth Army that Chen Fan had performed exceptionally well in the two beast tide defenses,
and was finally awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel and a silver medal by Commander Fu Fengxue.
This was all general information.
For these district chiefs, they had seen many lieutenant colonels, colonels, and even general-level Warrior Generals.
But this Chen Fan was only seventeen years old and already possessed the strength of a War General-level.
More importantly, Chen Fan's current strength, even among Warrior Generals, was considered extremely elite.
It should be known that there are only over three thousand War General-level Warrior Generals in the entire world today.
Most of them are still primary and intermediate Warrior Generals, with only a few hundred High-level Generals.
Therefore, every High-level General is a key figure cultivated by a Base City.
Because once they break through and advance again, they can become God of War level Warrior Generals who can guard a region and deter monsters.
Out of politeness, Chen Fan chatted briefly with these people, got to know each other, and exchanged contact information.
Dinner was held at Chen Fan's new home; this three-story villa, covering hundreds of square meters, looked simple on the outside but was very luxurious and exquisite inside.
This was the military's preferential treatment for every Warrior General.
The difference between Warrior Generals and ordinary people was thus clearly revealed.
After dinner, the group dispersed happily.
Chen Fan also walked with his parents in Shanshui Community.
