When Paige saw Lu Yu walking at the front, followed by Steve James and a few advanced tanks behind him, Paige was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She covered her mouth in excitement and looked at Lu Yu who was getting closer and closer to her.
At this moment, everyone was cheering and shouting the word " Tom." Even Colonel Phillips, who had rushed over, could not help but shout twice. An uncontrollable smile appeared on his face. This was the first time he smiled since he received the order to take down the defensive fortress.
Lu Yu walked in front of Peggy and suddenly saluted her with a smile. He called out,"Sir! Mission accomplished!"
" I'm not your commanding officer." After rolling her eyes at Lu Yu, she moved to the side and said," The one behind you is your commanding officer."”
" I'm really impressed, you arrogant kid." Colonel Phillips walked over and gave Lu Yu a warm hug. He patted Lu Yu's shoulder and asked," Tom, did you come back after breaking through the defensive fortress?”
" Mm." Lu Yu briefly explained the battle situation last night.
After listening, Colonel Phillips said with emotion,""According to the analysis of the military analysts, if we want to take down the defensive fortress, we need at least 30 Eagle Bombers and thousands of soldiers to attack. Because the Eagle Bombers are mainly used in other battlefields, I've been worried that we won't be able to take them down. So, Tom, you've really done a great job today. I'll report to my superiors and see if I can apply for a Hero Medal for you.”
" The Hero Medal is fine," Lu Yu said." I just want to please someone."”
When he said this, Lu Yu glanced at Peggy.
After being looked at by Lu Yu, Peggy, who deliberately put on an angry posture, walked back.
Seeing this, Lu Yu hurriedly walked towards Peggy.
Colonel Phillips still wanted to have a good chat with Lu Yu, but after knowing that Lu Yu only wanted to stay with Peggy, Colonel Phillips could only talk to Steve. Apart from confirming with Steve about the equipment brought back, Colonel Phillips also wanted to know the details related to the Red Skeleton. Because the Red Skeleton had escaped and had other experimental bases, Colonel Phillips knew that the weapons developed by the Red Skeleton would likely be used in batches in the war, which would be very disadvantageous to our side.
After learning that the Red Skeleton had actually betrayed Adolf, Colonel Phillips was a little happy.
However, after learning that the Red Skeleton's goal was to conquer the entire world, Colonel Phillips became worried again.
"Are you still angry with me?" Lu Yu asked after catching up with Peggy.”
"You killed Dr. Abraham. How can I not be angry at you?”After rolling her eyes at Lu Yu, Peggy said," It's already good enough that I didn't kill you. You actually want me to forgive you?"”
"Do you know how many lives I saved this time?”Lu Yu said," I saved more than a hundred people in the Red Skeleton's experimental base. In addition, I destroyed the defensive fortress, so I saved at least thousands or even tens of thousands of lives. Is this not enough to make up for my mistake?”
" You can't," Paige said." Dr. Abraham is dedicated to the country. He spent his life trying to save the country, but you killed him for the future. In any case, in my opinion, the appearance of a super soldier troop will only make the future better, not worse. As for your betrayal theory, I have no interest in hearing it again. In short, don't bother me again in the future.”
" Actually, sometimes I don't understand you women," Lu Yu said." When you saw me just now, your eyes told me that you were worried about me. It was the same situation as when I parachuted last night. But after I was safe and sound, you put on a face that said you didn't want to deal with me. So, it seemed that women were the hardest to understand in this world. Peggy, tell me, how can I understand you women?”
"I don't know."
After hearing Peggy's indifferent answer, Lu Yu said gloomily,"There will be a celebration ball tonight. You will be my dance partner.”
"There's a celebration ball?" Peggy frowned and said," I haven't heard of it at all.”
" Of course you haven't heard, because I haven't said it yet." Lu Yu smiled and said," This is a big victory, so we naturally have to publicize it well. Since you're going to promote it, a celebration ball is inevitable, so you have to dress up a little more beautifully at night so that you can become the center of attention. By the way, if you don't want to drive, I can pick you up. You just have to tell me the time.”
" Even if there's really a celebration ball, I won't attend it because I don't want to see you." After rolling her eyes at Lu Yu, Peggy suddenly laughed and said," Big tabby cat, hurry up and take a shower. Otherwise, there will be a group of cats following behind."”
When he escaped from the experimental base last night, Lu Yu was blackened by the smoke, so he was indeed like a big tabby cat.
Looking at Peggy who had already left, Lu Yu called out,"Don't forget to come!"
" I'll go if the cat doesn't participate," Paige replied without turning her head." So, I hope you can give me good news."”
Lu Yu didn't know if what Peggy said was true or not, but he really hoped that Peggy could attend. But then again, he didn't know if the celebration ball would be held as scheduled. He wanted to discuss it with Colonel Phillips, but Colonel Phillips was mainly in charge of war-related matters, so Lu Yu decided to look for Howard after returning to the city. Edward was not only the world's largest arms supplier, but he was also a member of the upper class. As long as he went out, he would definitely be able to convince the relevant departments, and the celebration ball would be able to proceed smoothly.
After resting at the camp for about an hour, Lu Yu and the others took a jeep to the city.
As for Peggy, she had already left in a helicopter.
At eight o'clock that night, Lu Yu, who was wearing a tuxedo, was standing beside the entrance of the dance theater, looking at his pocket watch from time to time.
Lu Yu was waiting for Peggy, but he didn't know if she would come.
At this moment, Edward, who was walking out of the dance theater, said,""Don't wait, Tom, your little sweetheart isn't coming. If you're worried about not being able to find a dance partner, I can introduce you. There are several rich ladies who want to be your dance partner. They all admire you. If you speak a little wittily, you can probably win their hearts.”
