Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Page 50

Saeed couldn't sit still any longer. He darted in front of Zhang Hao, shielding him behind him, and said to Demulan:

"Demulan, you've gone too far. Xiao Hao is a distinguished guest of my Zero Dam. Since you know he's Chinese, how dare you poach him to his face? Do you think China doesn't exist?"

Zhang Hao looked at Said in surprise. He didn't expect that Said, who used to basically only use force to solve problems, would now know how to use "power". It was not far from the time when he could stand on his own. Zhang Hao was very satisfied with this.

However, Demulan's intellect far surpassed that of Saeed, and he seized upon the loophole in Saeed's words, sharply retorting:

"Oh? Then please tell me, Saeed, you said Xiao Hao is from China, so tell me, why is he in your Zero Dam? Did you secretly kidnap him? Tsk tsk tsk, I can only say you're really bold. I'll return your words to you, are you treating China as if it doesn't exist?"

Saeed hadn't expected Demulan to be so eloquent, and for a moment he began to stammer.

"He... Xiao Hao is... here at our dam for tourism... Yes! He's here for tourism, and I'll be sending him back to China later!"

Upon hearing Said's words, Demulan was immediately amused, and even Zhang Hao couldn't help but turn away and put his hand to his forehead.

"Hahaha, Said, it seems your brain still isn't working very well. I was wondering how Zero Dam could develop so well with a brain like yours. It seems I was overthinking it. Looks like you have a pretty good subordinate. In my opinion, your brain is not even as good as that chimpanzee Reis!"

Saeed: ___*( ￣皿￣)/#____

When Said heard Demulan say that he was not as good as Reis, he was furious. You could say that he was not as good as Xiao Hao, Shen Lan, Mai Xiaowen... Youssef (except for Roy and Uluru).

But to be told that he, now a well-read scholar, was inferior to that chimpanzee Reese, was intolerable to Said. Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, Zhang Hao pulled him back from behind and whispered:

"Uncle Said, don't get carried away. We've identified the sniper position now, so we need to start thinking about how to retreat. We don't even know how many people are behind Demulan."

After listening, Saeed took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down, then glanced at Demulan and said:

"You're just talking big. And give up on him. Xiao Hao is my honored guest now, you know? He's not going to your place, is he?"

Zhang Hao quickly echoed:

"Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness, ma'am, but I really don't have any plans to go there right now. I'm out with Uncle Said, and it's getting late, so we'll be going now!"

From Demulan's perspective, the adorable little boy politely refused him and even explained his reasons, which completely calmed Demulan, who was usually short-tempered. However, at the same time, his fondness for Zhang Hao and his desire to make him his son-in-law grew even stronger.

At this moment, Demulan noticed the M700 on Zhang Hao's back, and after a moment's thought, his eyes lit up as he said:

"Xiao Hao, is that your sniper rifle on your back? Oh my, look at it, it's the same as the old lady's. You have a good eye, much better than that guy next to you carrying a PKM."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this; Said was standing right next to him when he was inexplicably stabbed.

"Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. You can go ahead and do your thing. We'll be going now."

Zhang Hao quickly pulled Hong Wen away from Said, who was about to go up and argue with him. They nimbly climbed down and returned the way they came. When they looked back to check the situation, they found that Demulan was still staring at them. To avoid embarrassment, they could only wave at Demulan.

"So it really really was your gun. Well... see you later, kid. You'd better stay alive..."

Chapter 109 Return without success

Demulan watched as the two people moved quickly, and then, as if Saeed thought Zhang Hao wasn't fast enough, he grabbed him with one hand, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and started running.

Withdrawing her gaze, Demulan took out her phone and opened it. The screen displayed a photo of Zhang Hao that she had secretly taken when the two weren't looking. She planned to send it to Kami later. "Oh, what a pity," she thought, "I didn't ask for Zhang Hao's contact information. It would have been so much better if those two young people could have gotten to know each other better."

"Have all the Chinese joined the battle? By the way, I didn't bring my car this time, otherwise I would have just snatched Xiao Hao away. It's too dangerous for him to stay with Said. Next time, it'll be safer to snatch him and keep him by my side."

Suddenly, Demulan remembered that Zero, who had escaped from the Tower of Babel, also had white hair. He quickly pulled up Zero's wanted poster, looked at the two of them, and after comparing them, Demulan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew! That scared me to death. Even though they both have white hair, how could this wanted criminal try to scam my future lovely son-in-law?"

After comparing the two photos, Demulan put his phone back with satisfaction. Just kidding, although they both had white hair, his son-in-law was obviously much cuter than that "Zero".

Zhang Hao: Although I don't know why, I still want to say thank you.

After Demulan saw that the two had completely disappeared, he turned around and looked at this "feng shui treasure land" with an excellent view.

"Oh my, Xiao Hao must be my lucky star! I never thought that the place he randomly picked for sightseeing would be so perfect for sniping. He truly is my good son-in-law!"

After observing the area for a while, Demulan left satisfied, as this location would provide him with an excellent view during the operation on the 15th.

So after Demoulan left, the area fell silent again, but perhaps in a few days it will become "lively" again.

. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

"Huff! Huff, quick, Xiao Hao, turn around and see if Demulan is still behind us!"

On a deserted desert, Said continued to run wildly with Zhang Hao in his arms, taking a breather and quickly telling Zhang Hao to turn around and see if Demulan was still following behind.

Zhang Hao also looked back, and seeing that there was no one there, he quickly shouted:

"Alright, alright, Uncle Said, he's run far enough away that we can't see him anymore."

Upon hearing this, Said gradually slowed down. He first found a secluded spot and placed Zhang Hao there. Then, he took Zhang Hao's M700, set it up, and began to observe the situation behind him.

After a thorough search, Sayed put down his gun and came to Zhang Hao's side, catching his breath.

"Oh my god, I was so scared! How could we actually run into that old woman, Demulan? Oh my, I was so scared! Hey Xiao Hao, how come she didn't recognize you? Even though you've become cuter, I could at least recognize you a little back then. Looks like Demulan's eyesight isn't very good after all."

Thinking of this, Said couldn't help but smile proudly. Just kidding, this was a passionate "bond" between him and Zhang Hao!

Mai Xiaowen: Pshaw, is that all? You know, my heart was pounding before my eyes recognized Xiaohao.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hao said:

"Um... maybe it's because you were more familiar with me before, Uncle Said. This should be considered my first time meeting Aunt Demulan."

Yes, this is indeed the first time in my life. I've seen it all before in my past life.

"You're calling me so affectionately, Xiao Hao. You should know that Demulan isn't a good person either. She's sniped several of Youssef's generals from afar multiple times. Her sniping skills are truly terrifying. By the way, are you going to go to that place again for your next mission? I suggest you choose another place, Xiao Hao. To be honest, it's not safe there anymore."

Said suggested that since they had already encountered Demulan this time, the chances of being exposed on the day of the operation would be greatly increased. Therefore, they would have to change locations to be relatively safe.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I can only go back and report today's events to everyone. I never expected to run into Demulan today. When I get back and tell everyone, I'm sure I'll be in for a surprise..."

I imagined myself being surrounded like a monkey, especially by Sister Zoya...

Zhang Hao shuddered and immediately turned to Said, saying:

"Uncle Saeed, can I have lunch at your place today? If I go back now, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get a meal."

"Really, Xiao Hao? You're going to eat at my place? Wait a minute, let me call Abel. I have to get you some really good dishes for lunch today."

When Sayid heard that Zhang Hao wanted to have dinner at his place, he immediately agreed and quickly took out his phone to call Abel, who was still working frantically in the office.

"Hey! Abel, what are you doing right now? Oh, work. Well, go to the kitchen and tell them to make me a braised chicken for lunch, some pork rib soup or something, and a roasted pig, you know? Also, get me a few extra bottles of Coke, okay? Remember to chill them!"

After hanging up the phone, Said happily pulled Zhang Hao along on the way back. You see, it had been a long time since Xiao Hao had been to his dam. Last time, that shameless Roy came over to freeload, but he didn't bring Xiao Hao along, which had made Said quite upset.

The two walked side by side like this, when suddenly, Sayyid asked:

"Hey Xiao Hao, I think the resources here are plentiful now, so I'm thinking of spending some money to renovate the visitor center and other places, making them look nice. If things settle down, it could even become a place to make money. What do you think?"

When Zhang Hao heard what Said said, he couldn't help but recall the funny pictures he had seen online in his previous life, in which Said was holding a flag and introducing the Zero Dam to tourists. He never expected that Said would actually have such an idea now.

"Pfft, hahaha, that's great, Uncle Said. You're very farsighted now. I also think that village we visited last time could be turned into a health resort. The environment there is very nice, but it's a bit far away. I hope this place can be a bit more peaceful."

Sayyid, standing nearby, also sighed:

"Yes, peace...it's so good."

"Hey Uncle Said, how's the construction going? Has everyone moved into their new houses yet?"

Zhang Hao also recalled that Saeed had discussed with him about finding an open space to build more houses so that those who slept in tents every day would have a home. This would greatly enhance everyone's sense of belonging to the dam, just like when he was taken back to the Special Operations Unit.

Chapter 110 Rice Rice

"Don't worry, Xiao Hao. Don't underestimate the motivation of our dam soldiers! At most, in two months, I guarantee everyone on the dam will be able to move into a house."

Said proudly stated that his soldiers were exceptionally talented in infrastructure construction, especially after they saw the "China Speed" that Zhang Hao had previously sent him. The group immediately set China's speed as their role model.

"That's good. By the way, didn't you and Reis discuss going to attack Hamk? How well do you know about Hamk's situation now?"

Zhang Hao suddenly remembered that at this moment, Hamk was still in his castle, acting as a local tyrant. Last time, he even sent people to try to massacre the village. Such scum would be a menace if left alive.

“Well, I also contacted Reis a while ago, but he said he couldn’t spare any manpower right now because he had something important to do, and he would come back to discuss it with me after this period of time.”

Sayed recalled that when he called Reis to ask about the situation, Reis seemed to have something important to do, but at the time Sayed was focused on building the dam and didn't dwell on it.

"Ugh, this is so chaotic. I don't know when it will end. We're here. Let's go, Xiao Hao. No matter what, let's eat first."

The two walked and talked, and soon returned to the dam. (Sayd carried Zhang Hao and ran almost the entire length of the Longbow Valley.)

Upon returning to the East Building, Said immediately ordered someone to bring the prepared food to his table. He then told Zhang Hao to go upstairs and wait while he went to get a bowl of rice.

When Zhang Hao arrived at Said's (who is now also Sofia's) office, Sofia's eyes lit up immediately.

"Xiao Hao? Xiao Hao! Wow, you've become even cuter! Come and let your big sister see you."

Like everyone else who had seen Zhang Hao before, Sophia curiously picked him up and looked him over from all angles. Then she pinched Zhang Hao's increasingly delicate little face and could only sigh that he was blessed with good looks.

Then Said brought up a large bowl of rice. Zhang Hao was stunned when he saw it. This was no longer a bowl, but a basin!

"Hey, Xiao Hao, this is definitely enough for you. I even asked the kitchen to steam extra rice this time. That damn Roy complained to me last time that he wasn't full. You have to eat your fill this time, or I'll make you some more!"

Seeing that Zhang Hao was just staring blankly at the "pot" of rice in front of him, Sayed quickly brought it to him.

"What's wrong? Oh, don't worry, it'll be delicious. Last time Roy ate a whole pot of it. Is the food not good where you are? That won't do! You're still growing. If the food isn't good where you are, come to my place. I guarantee you'll have plenty. Just tell me what you want to eat!"

Sofia then interjected:

"Said, don't you think it's possible that Xiao Hao simply can't finish all of this?"

Zhang Hao: Mm-hmm! I'm still a baby. =￣ω￣=

"Huh? No way, is Xiao Hao like that?"

Said was incredulous. After all, Roy's starving appearance last time had made him think that Xiao Hao was starving at the Special Operations Department. When he asked Xiao Hao to come for a meal, Xiao Hao always said he didn't have time and never came.

"Um... Uncle Said, I'll just have a normal bowl. Hmm... I'll tell you about what happened that day."

Zhang Hao silently took the normal-sized bowl in front of Said, and while eating, he told Said about Roy's experience that day.

"Huh? Hahahaha, that Roy, he brought it on himself. No wonder he ate so much that day. I saw the shadow of Veyron in him."

After hearing Roy's story, Said burst into laughter, and even Sophia, who was standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"There's nothing we can do about it, that's just how Roy is, but we really would miss out on a lot of happiness without him."

After finishing their meal (Said was so full he started taking digestive pills), Zhang Hao and Sophia discussed their ideas for developing the land for planting and their plans to expand the land. During the discussion, Sophia also had many moments of enlightenment.

“Said! You get over here and listen to me properly. You still say Xiao Hao isn’t good at studying? You’re just trying to fool me. Look at Xiao Hao’s thinking. Even if I teach you countless times, you still won’t understand. And you have the nerve to say you’re the same as Xiao Hao? Huh?”

Zhang Hao: Hehe, that's right. I've always been a good student, as long as you don't let me study math, physics, or chemistry.

Saeed: Stop talking, sob sob, give me some face in front of Xiao Hao! ≡(▔﹏▔)≡

Seeing Saeed's current predicament, Zhang Hao stepped in to defuse the situation:

"Alright, Sister Sophia, Uncle Said is talented, it's just that he might not have shown it in these areas yet. You see, he's usually very interested in political thought and theory, right? Next time, I'll have Uncle Shenlan teach Uncle Said how to be a political commissar, okay, Uncle Said?"

Saeed: Waaah, Hao is so good to me, Sophia is so mean. ???

After Sayed had rested enough, the two looked at the map and chose another relatively secluded spot before setting off on their journey again.

After Zhang Hao found a good spot and tested the view, it was already past 4 o'clock.

Zhang Hao then took out his phone and arranged a time to return with Shen Lan, and then returned to the dam with Said.

After waiting for two minutes at the entrance of the dam, Wei Long arrived on his all-terrain vehicle.

After chatting with Said for a bit, Wei Long waved and took Zhang Hao back with him.

On the way back, Zhang Hao asked Wei Long with a smile:

"Brother Weilong, guess who Uncle Said and I ran into today?"

"Hmm? Who else could it be? Let me think... Coming back so late, and in Longbow Valley... Reis?! You weren't hurt, were you? No, Said and Reis know each other, and your face has changed. Reis shouldn't recognize you, which makes sense..."

Seeing that Wei Long had already started his proud reasoning mode, Zhang Hao listened quietly to Wei Long's analysis from behind. However, as Wei Long's analysis became more and more outrageous, Zhang Hao couldn't help but speak out directly.

"Wrong! We've run into Demulan!"

"So, are Said and Reis having an affair... Oh, Demulan? I thought... Demulan? You guys ran into Demulan!"

Wei Long slammed on the brakes and pulled the car to the side of the road. He turned around and looked at Zhang Hao in shock. Good heavens, weren't they supposed to be scouting locations? How did they run into the aerospace grandma?!

"Yes, she even wanted me to be her son-in-law! But I refused."

Veyron: (sharp blast) Σ(っ°Д °;)っ! ! !
