Chapter 507 Operation Manual
When Li Chenglong used teleportation to return home, it was already 9:30 pm. Little Li Yunhao had gone out to play all afternoon and was already asleep. After Yunlan put her daughter to sleep, she had been waiting for him to come back.
Not wanting to disturb his sleeping daughter, Li Chenglong didn't shower in the bathroom in their bedroom, but instead went to the public bathroom next to the living room. When he came out, Susie placed a cup of warm water made with black orchid honey on the living room table: "Brother Li, have some water."
Li Chenglong drank half a glass in one gulp and then told Susie to go to sleep as well. He chatted with Yunlan for a while and finally said, "I need to write something to summarize the characteristics and combat experience of special forces warriors. I'll make a lot of copies so that others can also take a look."
Yunlan suggested, "Why don't I write here and you summarize it on the side? That way it will be faster." Li Chenglong looked in the direction of the bedroom and said, "That won't work. What if the little guy wakes up and can't find you?"
Yunlan pushed Li Chenglong into the study: "The little guy can sleep for at least three or four hours every time he falls asleep, so let's finish writing quickly."
Then Yunlan turned on the crystal computer, while Li Chenglong made various summaries on the side. An hour later, after many revisions, "Operation Against Special Forces Warriors" was finally successfully completed.
Li Chenglong glanced at the newly printed manual, then at Yunlan who was staring at him, and couldn't help but pull his wife into his arms.
He calculated the dates and said, "Yun Hao's birthday is March 5th, 2025, which is the sixth day of the second lunar month. I remember that day happens to be the Jingzhe solar term. Yun Xi's birthday is July 6th, 2027, which is the third day of the sixth lunar month. Your birthday is the twenty-first day of the ninth lunar month, which is October 20th this year. By the way, do you celebrate your birthday according to the Gregorian calendar or the lunar calendar?"
Yunlan smiled and said, "I celebrate my birthday according to the lunar calendar, but I suggest that our son and daughter celebrate their birthdays according to the Gregorian calendar from now on. Gregorian birthdays are easier to remember. But even if you want to celebrate my Gregorian birthday, my Gregorian birthday is November 10th, which is already several days ago."
Just as she finished speaking, Yunlan seemed to remember something and immediately asked, "By the way, when is your birthday? I remember when we were still in Xiaolong Squad, we wanted to celebrate your birthday according to the date you registered, but you said that your birthday was not on this day. Later, when we asked you which day it was, you wouldn't say."
Li Chenglong smiled and said, "I was born on April 20, 1998, which is the 4th day of the third month in the lunar calendar. My mother said that day happened to be the Grain Rain solar term. However, I think we only celebrated our birthdays together once, because my father was a border guard and rarely came back. I don't have a particularly deep impression of him. I only remember that he was a very strict person."
He paused for a moment and continued, “Li Xue was born on January 5, 2004, which is the 14th day of the 12th lunar month in 2003. When I joined the army, I was actually only 16 years old, 17 in the traditional Chinese age reckoning. But because I am the child of a martyr and my grandfather was a veteran of the Vietnam War, I was able to be recruited through special procedures. When I enlisted, under the instructions of a superior officer, my birthday became May 4, 1997, which made me 18 in the traditional Chinese age reckoning.”
Yunlan carefully recorded all these dates before saying, "That way I won't forget your birthdays in the future. So, will you be calculated based on your actual age or the age listed in your current file?"
Li Chenglong said with a smile, "Let's stick to the records. My birthday will be May 4th from now on, and it will never change."
After saying that, he kissed Yunlan on the cheek, checked the time, and saw it was already 11 p.m. So he picked Yunlan up and carried her to their bedroom in an instant. Yunlan checked on her daughter and found that she was still fast asleep, so she covered her with a blanket and then lay down on the bed.
Yunlan personally put protective gear on Li Chenglong, and the two then quietly engaged in a deep conversation. They hadn't had this kind of interaction in a long time, as they had been busy with various matters.
The next morning, when Li Chenglong woke up, he found Yunlan breastfeeding their daughter, Li Yunxi. The little one is now four months old, and the nanny, Song Yixin, has changed from being at Li Chenglong's house 24 hours a day to only coming during the day. She currently runs an institution that trains postpartum caregivers and teaches pregnancy and childcare knowledge, so she's quite busy.
Li Chenglong came out and had a simple breakfast with Li Yunhao and Su Qian, which Su Qian had made, before heading to his office. Li Xue and Qin Fangyu currently live together at the Dawn Army's General Logistics Department, only returning home once or twice a week. Han Xiaoling prefers to have breakfast with the members of her Second Section, but she also frequently comes over for lunch and dinner.
It was Tuesday, so Hai Lianyi and Wenren Yu were both working in the office. Li Chenglong greeted them, saying he was going to print some things in Industrial Zone 1, and that if anyone came looking for him, they should wait a moment, and if it was urgent, they could call him.
After going downstairs, Li Chenglong thought for a moment and went to Professor Lena's laboratory first. As soon as he arrived, he found Marina and Cecily there. He asked them and learned that the three of them were still researching the spatial barrier and had made some progress.
The three knew that Li Chenglong had gone to fight the special forces warriors yesterday afternoon. Marina, being the most combative of the three, immediately asked Li Chenglong about the details of yesterday's battle.
Li Chenglong explained the situation to them in detail. When they learned that the special forces warriors possessed such high attributes and strength, the three of them were quite surprised.
After saying that, Li Chenglong took out the booklet he and Yunlan had compiled together and showed it to them, saying, "This is a booklet that Yunlan and I compiled last night, summarizing the intelligence we have recently obtained about special warriors, and adding my experience of fighting them. Please take a look and see if there is anything to add or any errors. If not, I will send it to the printing factory to be printed in a while."
The three of them quickly glanced at it and discussed it. After some discussion, they unanimously agreed that there were no errors or anything that needed to be added to the booklet, as it was already very detailed.
With their high praise, Li Chenglong felt relieved. After staying for a while, he left the laboratory and headed towards the printing plant.
When Li Chenglong arrived at the printing factory, he happened to run into Shen Menghua, who was there inspecting the work. Currently, she is not only the deputy city lord, but also the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the honorary president of the Women's Federation, holding multiple positions.
To avoid disturbing Shen Menghua's work, Li Chenglong entered through a side door and found a printing team leader. After learning his purpose, the team leader said that printing could begin immediately, and considering that the materials would be of the highest quality for use by advanced ability users, the printing materials would be of the best quality for their convenience.
The two men examined the design of the printed booklet, which also included photos and illustrations of special warriors. According to the team leader, the booklet would be delivered to the Dawn City Lord's office the day after tomorrow. Furthermore, since this printed material was intended for combat use, Dawn City regulations stipulated that no fees would be charged.
Having settled this matter, Li Chenglong left the printing factory. Today, he heard from Yunlan that the Vampire Queen was leaving tomorrow. Since he still had some time today, he might as well go and tell her the latest situation of the special forces warriors, so that even if she returned to Europe, they could take some measures to deal with it.
Upon arriving at Syndra's residence, she had fully regained her former radiance and was looking out through the window of this Dawn Tower.
After Li Chenglong arrived, he sat and chatted with Queen Sindra and Duke Helen for a long time. Duke Margaret had left a few days earlier to take care of some matters.
Syndra once again expressed her gratitude to Li Chenglong, and then stated her willingness to represent the Dark Alliance in forging a strategic alliance with Dawn City. Finally, to facilitate future communication, Syndra also decided to establish a Dark Alliance office in Dawn City, with Duke Helen serving as its ambassador.
Li Chenglong welcomed this, and Shen Menghua and Ma Tiancheng would also arrive in the afternoon. They would represent Dawn City to sign a new round of trade contracts with the Dark Alliance, especially the vampires.
