Chapter 1392 Absolutely not

After saying this, Li Qing's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she continued:

"I have also successfully reached level 9. I feel that every level up is like opening a door to a new world. I can feel that I have more possibilities in the use of my supernatural powers, as if I have more energy sources in my body that I can call upon at any time. This kind of continuous breakthrough and growth is really exciting."

Shi Xinxin was also very excited and couldn't wait to share:

"I've also reached level 9! After the upgrade, I found that I seemed to have established a closer signal connection with my superpowers. I can feel every fluctuation of it more keenly, and it is smoother when I activate it, and the power is naturally increased. It feels great!"

When Li Luo and Liu Mengyun heard about the results of everyone's ability upgrade, their faces were filled with genuine joy.

Their gazes fell gently on Tang Mingcheng, Li Qing and Shi Xinxin, who were slightly excited about the promotion. The gleam in their eyes was full of satisfaction and pride in the growth and progress of their family.

Seeing that Li Luo and Liu Mengyun did not mention the level of their own supernatural powers, Li Qing, Tang Mingcheng and Shi Xinxin immediately understood something.

After all, these two are special-type psychics, and the number of crystal cores required for their upgrades is five times that of ordinary psychics. It seems reasonable that they failed to upgrade.

Just like climbing a mountain, their path is steeper and more dangerous.

Li Qing looked at Li Luo and Liu Mengyun, with concern and tenderness in her eyes, and asked softly:

"Then Mengyun, Luoluo, how far are you from leveling up?"

Li Luo and Liu Mengyun looked at each other and smiled. There was helplessness but also determination in that smile.

The two answered calmly: "Almost."

Tang Mingcheng looked determined and spoke without hesitation:

"Then all the crystal cores I obtain in the future will be left to you two, so that you can upgrade first. We are a family, we should share the joys and sorrows and improve our strength together."

However, Li Luo shook his head slightly, his tone was extremely firm:

"Just leave them all for Aunt Yun."

After a pause, she continued:

"I'm going to the Youzhou base soon. There will definitely be plenty of opportunities to obtain crystal cores on the way."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock hitting the calm lake, instantly making the atmosphere tense.

Li Qing, Tang Mingcheng and Shi Xinxin were all stunned in astonishment, with shock and confusion written all over their faces.

Almost in unison, they asked loudly, "What are we going to do at Youzhou Base?"

Li Luo's expression was as calm as water, and he explained calmly:

"Ah Cheng has received a mission from above to lead the Fiery Team to escort the zombie virus reagent to the Youzhou base. I want to go with them."

Shi Xinxin was the first to react. Her eyes instantly widened like bells, filled with surprise and disbelief:

"Ah? So sudden? How come I didn't hear any news before?"

Li Luo responded patiently:

"This escort mission is highly confidential and involves many aspects of security considerations, so not many people know about it. I was out the whole time before, and Cheng was worried that I would be distracted after knowing it and affect the work at hand, so he kept it a secret from us. I only found out about it during the meeting this morning."

At this moment, Li Qing's brows were tightly knitted into the shape of the Chinese character "川". The worry in her eyes was clearly visible, and her voice was full of concern:

"Lolo, this is too dangerous. Youzhou is so far away from here, and we don't know what we will encounter along the way. There are too many unknown dangers and variables to count. I don't agree with you going."

Tang Mingcheng stood up with a bang, his expression as serious as if covered by frost, and said coldly:

"No, absolutely not. This road is full of thorns and traps, and the dangers are unimaginable. How can we let you take the risk?"

Li Luo looked at their strong reactions and felt a little helpless, but he still tried to persuade them:

"But didn't I go to City X by myself before, and I came back safely in the end?"

Tang Mingcheng's brows furrowed even more tightly, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and his voice was low but contained a rare hint of reproach:

"How dare you bring this up, kid? Last time you went to X City, you didn't even say hello to us. You just went there on your own initiative and told us after you left. Isn't that acting without permission? Do you know how worried we were at the time?"

Li Luo lowered his head, his fingers twisted together unconsciously, like a child who had done something wrong, with a guilty look on his face.

But soon, she raised her head again, with a firm look in her eyes:

"But you know my strength, Mom and Dad. Besides, I still have space! This is my life-saving trump card. Besides, if you don't let me go, what about Cheng? Can you let Cheng take the risk on his own?"

Upon hearing Lu Jingcheng's name, Tang Mingcheng and Li Qing fell silent.

They had mixed feelings. Although Lu Jingcheng had not officially become a member of the family, in their hearts, they had already regarded him as half a son, an important existence whose fate was intertwined with their daughter's and who would accompany her throughout her life.

His every move tugged at their heartstrings.

However, they also knew that as a member of the Fire Team, Lu Jingcheng had a special mission and responsibility.

His identity as a soldier dictates that he must obey orders unconditionally. In the face of greater justice, personal safety often has to take a back seat.

This is his choice and his responsibility.

They accepted this fact early on and understood that in this end times, he would have to fight and take risks for greater peace, but how could they completely let go emotionally?

Worry and understanding collided violently in my heart, turning into a deep silence.

Tang Mingcheng sat down slowly, rubbed his temples with both hands, and looked helpless:

"You are such a headache, kid. Why are you so stubborn?"

Li Qing looked at Li Luo, her eyes full of confusion and struggle:

"Lolo, this is really too dangerous. Can't you think about it again?"

The room fell into silence, and the air seemed to freeze.

After a while, Tang Mingcheng sighed heavily, as if he had made a great concession. There was helplessness and compromise in that sigh:

"Forget it. Since you have made up your mind, we can't stop you. But we have to go together. It's better for the family to be together and take care of each other. It's much safer than going alone."

Li Qing nodded quickly to show her agreement, with a hint of comfort in her eyes:

"Yes, as a family, we can face everything together. This way, I can feel more at ease. At least we can be by your side to protect you."
