Chapter 19 Let me sing a song for everyone.

The joy of victory lasted only half an hour.

Half an hour later, the reconnaissance plane failed to capture any footage of Qi'an setting sail, which made the military leadership somewhat concerned. Tan Fu and his group, however, completely forgot about their joy.

After hours of fruitless searching, they were miraculously saved when they discovered that Qi An had come ashore from a distance and returned to the island where they lived.

But the joy was short-lived, because Qi An said that the giant fleshy balls had not been wiped out.

Those black bits of flesh fell into the sea, where they were able to survive, recuperate, and grow stronger again.

They can multiply infinitely.

Who knows where it is in the world, and how many clones it has hidden?

The helicopter flying to Southeast Base 1 brought a number of people.

Military leaders from North Base 1, various coastal bases, and large inland bases with sufficient weaponry all sent high-ranking military officials.

Chen Xi was on a transport plane from Base 1 in the North, and was the first to land and board a ship to the island.

It was already dawn, with the first rays of sunlight appearing. More than two hours had passed since they found Qi An.

Chen Xi once regretted that when she left the freshman base, she went to the North Base 1 instead of the Southeast Base 1.

At that time, Qi An had not yet decided where she wanted to live for a long time. By the time she did, the North 1 Base was no longer willing to let Chen Xi go.

So over the years, only a small portion of Chen Xi's jealousy was directed at Chen Yuezhou, while the majority was directed at Wu Han!

However, upon arriving at the courtyard, Chen Xi found himself surrounded by Wu Han's soldiers. Unwilling to disturb them or hide and climb through the window, Chen Xi could only speak to Wu Han and ask if he could go in to see Qi An.

The small building was extremely quiet, with occasional sounds of piano or guitar drifting out, but these were intermittent and quickly faded into silence.

"She said she wanted peace and quiet and didn't want to see anyone." Wu Han didn't want to say much to Chen Xi, but simply relayed Qi An's words truthfully.

This statement is absolutely true, because several hours later, the plane from the Western Regions Base 1 also arrived.

Not to mention Chen Yuezhou, even Yu Shuang couldn't see Qi An!

Tan Fu's call went through, but Qi An only briefly mentioned some information related to the war before hanging up.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the small building remains unlit, resembling a black hole that absorbs light.

Everyone felt as if a weight had been placed on their hearts; pitching tents and cooking meals were done in complete silence.

The silence lasted all night. As dawn approached the next day, Yu Shuang finally couldn't resist anymore. She pushed aside Zhao Lang, who was blocking the door, and ran straight up to her bedroom on the second floor.

She looked aggressive and fast, but her steps were actually very light.

The door to the sunny master bedroom on the second floor was also open. Yu Shuang caught sight of the girl leaning against the windowsill, and her throat tightened.

It took her a while to speak: "You said you wouldn't see me, so why did you let me in?"

His voice was hoarse, which made Qi An turn his head slightly.

Instead of answering Yu Shuang's question, she asked in return, "The captain's eyes are so red, are they crying?"

Yu Shuang's eyes were bloodshot and her eyelids were swollen.

"Your deputy captain always says, 'I hope Xiao Qi can have a peaceful end.'"

On my way here, for some reason, this sentence kept echoing in my mind, and tears just wouldn't stop flowing.

Yu Shuang is someone who doesn't cry for years, but she always sheds tears for Qi An.

She didn't go inside; she just stood at the doorway.

The small wooden sign on the door reads "Ye Xiao's Little Nest".

This is a row of large characters carved with a knife and then painted, the strokes are vigorous.

Below the large characters is a rather unattractive handwritten sign that reads, "No unauthorized personnel allowed in this little nest, but my darling is welcome to stay anytime!"

Qi An seemed to laugh when he heard Yu Shuang's words, "It's really difficult for us to have a peaceful end."

Yu Shuang remained silent for a long time before suddenly saying, "Xiao Qi, you can leave too."

Even if everyone in the world turned into corrupted insects, how many insects would there be? Less than a hundred million.

The planet Earth is so vast; with your current strength, you can always find a way to avoid them.

If the road ahead is blocked, then don't go any further, and... there's no need to waste your life on this continent.

Qi An was somewhat surprised.

It wasn't that Shuang knew a lot... she told Tan Fu all the information she knew and deduced yesterday morning.

This intelligence had already been shared with Mao Anlin and the high-ranking military officials who came to the meeting.

Yu Shuang and her ilk are all top elites in the military, and they have close ties with her, so they wouldn't be slow to find out.

Qi An looked at Yu Shuang: "This doesn't sound like something a captain would say."

Yu Shuang tilted her head slightly and remained silent.

Qi An said calmly, "Has the captain forgotten that the Fallen Insects have the ability to reproduce? The Black Sun may also become stronger and stronger, with clones all over the world."

Spreading pollution is an instinct of the fallen insects.

These instincts were implanted in them by the Old Gods, which shows that the Old Gods enjoy eating people.

"Was He content without eating me?"

"Then what do you want?!" Yu Shuang's voice rose:

"They are already discussing relocating all the population on the mainland to several nearby large bases to establish a unified defense mechanism."

In this system, you are always on the front line of reconnaissance and the front line of the enemy!

Are we supposed to watch you get seriously injured every now and then, then find a corner to heal, then get injured again, then heal again, in an endless cycle, until we become numb?

Yu Shuang tilted her head again: "Human nature is selfish. Maybe when that time comes, I will stay away from you in order to alleviate my pain and guilt."

I, like everyone else, will hypnotize myself into believing you are a god who is obligated to protect all living beings!

Silence fell once again, both inside and outside the house.

After a long while, the sky seemed to light up again. In that hazy, thin light, Qi An saw Chen Xi, who had been standing by the window for half the night, covered in dew, Chen Yuezhou a little further away, and Wu Han, who had just come out of the main command tent and was also looking up at her.

"Captain, call them in, I'll sing you a song."

After a day and a night, Qi An finally stood up from the wooden chair that her mother had loved the second most when she was alive.

"Uncle Xu once taught me a song that I think is very suitable to sing now."
