BXBX NOVEL Chapter 184 Going Home
"It appears that the battalion commander will not be able to see Comrade Wu Mo. What a pity," the platoon commander, Ren Bin, said as he walked.
"It can\'t be helped," Company Commander Zhang immediately said. "That kid, Wu Mo, is obsessed with research. I noticed that he was distracted earlier. He might have a new idea about the development of standard weapons."
"Really?"
Company Commander Zhang nodded with a smile.
"That\'s great. The eastern theater of operations has announced to the major research institutes the plan to improve standard weapons. When we return, Comrade Wu Mo will definitely participate in the project\'s research and development. Maybe in a few months, a new weapon will be developed."
Chu Yi\'s eyes lit up as he came up with a deduction.
"That\'s not a certainty. The current key project is to mass-produce the Invisibility Armor. Even if Comrade Wu Mo is involved in the project of standardized weapons, he won\'t focus on it."
Zheng Shaohui shook his head to express a different opinion.
"In any case, that child, Wu Mo, is very talented. In the future, he will definitely be invited to participate in all kinds of activities. At that time, the battalion commander will have a chance to meet him."
Ren Bin seemed certain that Wu Mo would be able to achieve great things down the line, so he did not feel guilty at all when he flattered him.
"Alright, let\'s not talk about this anymore. The meeting is starting soon. Let\'s go," Company Commander Zhang urged, and everyone quickened their pace.
On the other side, Wu Mo was sitting in a military vehicle.
He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window that was quickly passing by, and he felt a little emotional.
He had traveled to the Third Military Region of North China to observe the mock battle and gained a lot.
Not only did he get to know the leaders, but he also felt the indomitable spirit of the soldiers there.
Even in the face of difficulties and dangers, they did not give up easily.
To him, the biggest gain was learning the Invisibility Armor\'s role on the battlefield and the soldiers\' needs for standard weapons.
He then retracted his gaze.
Wu Mo sat in the back of the military vehicle next to Sun Siqin, the liaison officer who had picked him up twice.
"Second Lieutenant Wu, have you gotten used to life in the military region over the past few days?" the liaison who had short hair and a tall nose, Sun Siqin, asked with a smile.
"Yes, the living environment in the military is great. It\'s just like our Research Department." Wu Mo nodded and answered immediately.
"Okay, if the opportunity arise again, you can visit our Third MR more often."
"Alright, I will."
Wu Mo knew that this was probably a message from the military region\'s commander.
He did not show any signs of impatience.
"Very well, I\'ll send you back to the Research Department in the capital."
After Sun Siqin completed the task he had been given, he felt much more relaxed and spoke more naturally.
"Umm... it\'s fine. Just send me back to Shanglin City like last time."
Wu Mo shook his head and rejected the liaison\'s suggestion.
"Ah... okay."
Sun Siqin was a little surprised. At the same time, he subconsciously thought about the reason why Second Lieutenant Wu did not want to return to the capital.
However, he reacted quickly and ordered the cultivator pilot to change the course.
As the liaison, he knew that it was best not to ask too much about these researchers who carried secrets.
A few hours later, the military vehicle arrived at the edge of the city.
Looking at the approaching steel jungle, Wu Mo\'s heart stirred.
He had decided to stop in Shanglin City to visit his parents.
After all, it had been a few months since he last saw them. When they separated, he promised his parents that he would come back to visit them when he had the time.
"I\'m sorry, Second Lieutenant Wu. Where do we park?"
Sun Siqin noticed that Wu Mo seemed to have something on his mind and did not want to disturb him.
However, the driver had already driven the military vehicle into the downtown area, so they had to know their destination.
Hearing the liaison\'s voice beside him, Wu Mo gradually returned to his senses.
"Oh, just stop here. Thank you for escorting me." Wu Mo smiled and said politely.
Despite that, the people in the car could still hear that Wu Mo was a little distracted.
"No problem. Take care, Second Lieutenant Wu."
Sun Siqin then opened the car door and sent Wu Mo off.
After the two bade farewell, Sun Siqin got into the vehicle and left the street.
Wu Mo had not contacted his family for a long time. When his parents moved in, he did not even know where they were.
He could only call his mother now.
He stood on the street, and the sun above his head was warm, giving off a feeling of comfort.
The traffic was heavy, and people hurried past on both sides of the sidewalk.
Dudu dudu, dudu dudu.
The phone rang twice, and his call was picked up soon after.
"Hello? Is it you, my son?"
On the other end of the phone, his mother\'s unique voice rang out. It was a little hoarse, but it contained an indescribable sense of relief.
"Mom, I took the day off and came back to see you," Wu Mo said with a smile. He was also a little excited.
After chatting for a while and getting the address of his parents\' current residence, Wu Mo immediately stopped a taxi and rushed to the residential area where his parents lived.
The morning exercise had started at 9.00 am. Following the series of events, it was almost 5.00 pm by the time he returned to Shanglin City.
Wu Mo planned to go back tomorrow afternoon.
Although there were many things waiting for him to do, Wu Mo still felt that family and kinship should come first.
Soon, a taxi with a Shanglin City license plate stopped at the entrance of a residential area.
The area was huge, and there were several security guards at the entrance.
The car could not even enter past the gate, so Wu Mo could only get out of the car in advance.
After paying the fare and verifying his identity, Wu Mo quickly walked toward the gate.
The environment in the residential area was beautiful, and it was comparable to that of Wu Mo\'s guest house in the Third Military Region.
More than 60% of the residential area was covered in green plants, which looked clean and tidy at first glance. The bushes and the plants in the flower beds had signs of being trimmed.
The words "Peaceful Residential District" were printed on an oval-shaped arch.
Although it did not look very luxurious, it had a warm feeling that suited the neighborhood.
Not to mention, Wu Mo and his parents, who had lived in the countryside for half their lives, were already content with this.
He arrived at Building No. 8 in the neighborhood. Before he could find the door, he saw his mother waiting anxiously outside.
His mother was thin, and years of hard work had made her skin dry and pale.
