Military uncle Chu Nanhua told Fiyue that he was the former subordinate of his grandfather, Chu Xiong. After Chu Xiong died in an accident, because the team members did not recognize anyone else as the leader, the Xiaohu Team was disbanded and its members were reassigned to various departments of the NJ Military District. Since each member of this Tiger Brigade had their own special skills, even multiple talents, they were all doing well now. Chu Nanhua himself had risen to the NJ Military District's General Staff Department, and could be considered a young and promising officer.
Chu Nanhua patted his chest and guaranteed that no one would dare to bully Fiyue and Qin Yue on the territory of the NJ Military District. Fiyue did not yet realize the immense power behind this promise; he was currently troubled by Uncle Chu Nanhua's excessive enthusiasm.
Chu Nanhua drove the two siblings to a military compound in the middle of Guyang Street, which was very close to Panyan University. Even on foot, it was only a ten-minute walk, and from a distance, one could see the iconic large fountain 'Light of the Century' of Panyan University.
The car drove all the way in and finally stopped in front of a white villa with a garden. Chu Nanhua got out of the car, took the siblings' luggage, and moved it to the villa's entrance.
"Come down, little ones, this is your new home." Chu Nanhua took out a magnetic card and 'beep beep beep' opened the door of the villa.
"What is this?" Fiyue helped the slightly nauseous Qin Yue out of the car. The two siblings stood at the door and looked up at the pointed roof of the villa, feeling a bit bewildered.
"This is where Colonel Chu used to live. After the colonel's accident, it has been empty. We have always had someone clean it, so it's ready for you to move in."
"..." Fiyue and Qin Yue looked at each other, and Fiyue nodded in acknowledgment.
It was very large, even bigger than their house in Shangjing, and the furniture seemed to be brand new.
"The downstairs is the living room. The colonel often watched TV here with his wife and two children..." Chu Nanhua looked around the living room's sofa and the 47-inch LCD TV, sighing. "The TV was replaced ten years ago. Feiying broke the old one with a cup of water, and the colonel gave him a good scolding. And that cabinet, Feiying once tried to cook a meal for his father but couldn't find the cumin, and cried in frustration. Ah..."
The two siblings, seeing the uncle suddenly lost in his memories, decided not to disturb him. Although they didn't understand why there were two 'Feiying's, they decided to go pick their rooms first...
Like their house in Shangjing, this villa also had three floors. The first floor was the living room, the second floor was the bedrooms, and the third floor was the attic. At the entrance of the second floor, there was a huge family photo. A muscular man had two beautifully dressed children sitting on his shoulders, the children were laughing and rubbing their father's short hair. Next to them stood a beautiful woman, who looked about 25 or 26, smiling helplessly at the two children playing on their father's shoulders. The background was clearly the garden of this villa.
That should be Chu Xiong and his wife and children. Fiyue looked up at the harmonious photo and decided to leave it hanging. Death is like a lamp going out, but even though the person is gone, the memories remain. Perhaps this is why Chu Nanhua and others did not take down the photo.
There were six bedrooms on the second floor, all ready for immediate occupancy. Fiyue chose the one near the stairs, and Qin Yue naturally chose the one next to his. Qin Yue's room had a balcony that led directly to Fiyue's room... what a convenient design.
Seeing Qin Yue's mischievous smile as she moved into the room, Fiyue was deeply worried about his future days.
Qin Yue threw her suitcase to the side and immediately fell into bed to sleep. She was already tired from the long car ride and was ready for bed.
After tidying up his things, Fiyue went downstairs and saw that Uncle Chu Nanhua had already recovered from his reminiscing and was now pressing something on a small screen next to the TV.
It looked just like the password lock of a secret room in every American sci-fi movie.
Sure enough, a passage leading underground was opened in the storage room next to the kitchen. Seeing Fiyue come down, Chu Nanhua nodded at him, indicating that he should follow.
"This is Colonel Chu's private underground warehouse, connected to the back mountain of Panyan University. The location of Panyan University was decided by the colonel... After the colonel's death, it was cleared out, and now it's just an empty basement, so there's no need to keep it a secret from you." He placed his palm on a certain tile on the wall, and a large area of tiles around it turned a bright green, forming the shape of a door.
"Come in." Chu Nanhua walked directly into the green tiles, which seemed to disappear, merging him into them.
Fiyue, amazed by this magical technology, quickly closed his eyes and followed.
As he passed through the green tiles, Fiyue felt as if he had passed through a thin film. After passing through, he opened his eyes.
The place was brightly lit, with silver metal panels everywhere, giving it a futuristic feel. Unfortunately, it was now empty, and Chu Nanhua was smiling at him.
"This is our Xiaohu Team's greatest secret, the colonel's former laboratory. The colonel was a man of both literary and military talent, excelling in everything... You can consider this a large storage room. In cold mode, it can be used as a cold storage. It also has a supercomputer embedded to manage the villa's daily operations, named Xiao Mi..."
As Chu Nanhua said the word 'Xiao Mi,' a camera suddenly extended from the ceiling. A flash of yellow light, and a holographic projection appeared in front of Chu Nanhua.
It was a girl in a light yellow dress, with long hair reaching her back, looking calm and serene. Her eyes were large, like those of a heroine in a Japanese anime.
However, her voice had no emotional fluctuations, sounding cold and detached.
"Voice confirmation, Chu Nanhua. Please give instructions."
"Xiao Ru, record Fiyue's voice as well. He will be the highest authority here from now on."
"Yes." Xiao Ru turned to Fiyue, "Please say a sentence."
"Voice recorded, ID 8, highest authority. Name: Chu Fiyue, confirmed. Please give instructions."
Fiyue looked around but didn't see her main body, so he asked, "Where is your main body?"
"Underground, 100 meters deep. Answer complete. Please give instructions."
"Uh..." Fiyue glanced at Chu Nanhua, who shrugged, indicating that it was indeed like that. "Nothing, Xiao Mi, call you if needed."
"Yes." Xiao Ru 'beep' disappeared, and the camera retracted.
"That's it. Xiao Mi is a program written by the colonel. He didn't use it much before the accident, so it still has many imperfections, like the lack of emotional responses. I should go now. Have a good night. If you have any trouble, call me, and ask Xiao Mi. Remember to change the entry password, and the fingerprint and palm print. I'm leaving."
With that, Chu Nanhua stepped up the stairs and left. Fiyue stayed in the basement, enthusiastically exploring Xiao Mi's features.
On the first day of moving into the new home, Fiyue almost didn't sleep at all...
