"What else is there to say? I have nothing more to say! Go and contact them again!"

After the deputy base commander finished shouting in a low voice, he straightened his head and put on a composed smile again.

"Please be quiet! We have learned a great deal from this natural disaster, and the reconstruction of the base still depends on everyone! No matter how harsh reality may be, we must face it bravely!"

The crowd erupted again, and Wang Peng shouted, "Where is the base commander? Why hasn't the base commander shown up even once in all this time since the disaster started!"

"That's right! Where's the base commander? Such an important matter, and the base commander isn't here!"

"What? The base commander isn't here? How could this happen? Is our base going to fall apart? Where are we going to go?"

"yes!......"

"The base commander is here! The base commander is here!"

Qi Tong ran incredibly fast, panting as he repeated, "The base commander... he's back!"

The deputy base commander felt extremely uncomfortable and quickly stood up, unable to hide the joy on his face.

Great! He was almost at his breaking point! Finally, we can get rid of this huge burden!

He looked into the distance. "Where are they?"

Qi Tong chuckled, "The base commander said he needed to get dressed up, so I came to let you know first!"

"Get dressed up! What time is it! You still don't forget to get dressed up!"

The deputy base commander paced back and forth on the stage, looking as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Didn't that person say the base commander was back? Why haven't we seen him?"

"Yes! Look how anxious the deputy base commander is, has something happened?"

"What do we do? What are we going to do? What if something really happens to the base commander...?"

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in.

Lin Anran and the others, who were standing at the end of the crowd, quickly covered their mouths and noses. Why was there such a strong wind all of a sudden?

Jiang Rong, who was yawning, suddenly inhaled a mouthful of dust. "Ptooey! Ptooey! Damn! Why is the wind so strong! Damn it! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

A minute later the wind stopped, and Lin Anran took out a pack of wet wipes from her pocket.

"Auntie, wipe it off!"

"Thank you, Ranran!"

Jiang Rong wiped the dust off her face, a hair stuck in her throat.

"Cough cough cough!"

"Drink water!"

"Thank you! Cough cough cough!"

Jiang Rong took the thermos cup handed to her and gulped down two mouthfuls.

"Hmm? Cough cough cough!"

"Drink slowly!"

The man gently patted his back, his eyes tender.

Jiang Rong, regaining her senses, hurriedly turned around, "Husband! Ahhhh! Husband! It really is you!"

The man reached out and caught the little woman who jumped up, his voice gentle, "Rongrong, the children are all here, come down quickly, be good!"

Jiang Rong's eyes were brimming with tears as she gripped those big ears tightly. "I don't want to! Tell me! Where have you been all this time? Why are you only coming to find me now!"

"Ouch! That hurts, honey. I know I was wrong. I was just thinking of finishing up this work before I talked to you. Besides, I've already told your son about this! You can ask him if you don't believe me!"

Jiang Qinian turned away, avoiding eye contact. He didn't know, so don't look for him.

"You! Jiang Qinian, you actually didn't tell your mother! That's outrageous!" the man roared, then stared at her with innocent, pleading eyes.

"Honey, look, this isn't my fault. I'm sorry for making you worry. I'll be punished tonight; I'll kneel on a washboard!"

Jiang Rong met those deep eyes and immediately softened. "Alright, it's good that you're back. You don't need to kneel anymore."

"Yay! I love you, my wife!"

Lin Yu: "If you ignore us, it's actually quite beautiful!"

Gu Chen: "I completely agree!"

"Base Commander! Base Commander!"

The deputy base commander was shouting frantically. What on earth was going on? Why was the base commander hugging a woman and calling her "wife"? What on earth was going on?!

The man gently put Jiang Rong down, and the two of them straightened their appearance. Now, their gentlemanly demeanor made it seem as if what had just happened was just an act.

"Hello! My name is Jiang Junke. I am Jiang Rong's husband and Jiang Qinian's father. Thank you for taking care of my wife these past few days."

Mr. Lin quickly wiped the dust off his hands. “Hello! I am Lin Chenggang, this is my wife, Cheng Wan, and my daughter, Lin Anran, and my sons, Lin Yu and Gu Chen.”

Hello, Uncle!

Jiang Junke's eyes gleamed. "Hmm! What a promising talent! Not bad!"

"Base Commander! We have important business to attend to right now!"

Qi Tong sighed, now he understood why the base commander dressed so flamboyantly.

"Ahem, I understand!"

Jiang Junke nodded and strode onto the stage.

"Ahem! Can you hear me? Hello everyone! I am Jiang Junke, the commander of the Dawn Base. It is heartbreaking to see such a tragic scene. The apocalypse is merciless and cruel, and we have no way to break this disaster."

Now, we can only unite as one, mourning for the unfortunate and striving for the future. Now is not the time for sorrow; we must persevere to see the light of hope.

Seeing that everyone was moved, Wang Peng felt resentful. He secretly lowered his hat and shouted into the crowd.

"You talk a good game, but we see no hope at all. We have no supplies, no houses, and now we don't even have our families. Are we supposed to keep fighting this disaster? When will it ever end?"

"Yes! When will this end? My husband died at the beginning of the apocalypse, and my son didn't survive this extreme weather either. How am I supposed to live?!"

"Yes! Do we still have any hope of survival?"

The survivors panicked again, and the crowd became increasingly agitated, with some even contemplating suicide.

Jiang Junke activated his supernatural power, a strong wind that directly knocked down the frail woman, and Jiang Rong quickly pulled her back from her emotionally unstable state.

"Sister! Don't think too much. Everyone has their own destiny. Maybe your husband and son are enjoying happiness in heaven now! They certainly don't want you to be with them. You must live well. Only by living can there be hope, right?"

The woman lay on the ground, clutching Jiang Rong's sleeve tightly. "Really? Is it true? I really can't hold on much longer! I'm so hungry, and I'm so tired."

"Niannian, help her sit down to the side first, and give her something to eat later!"

When the people around heard that there was food, they all started to clamor.

"Hey girl, give me some food! I'm starving, I can't take it anymore!"

"Give me some! I want some too! Give me some food! I'm so hungry!"

"Hungry......"

Jiang Rong darted onto the platform and snatched the megaphone from Jiang Junke's hand. "Stop fighting over it! After the disaster, the base commander distributed food to you all. So now, can anyone tell me where all that stuff went?"

The scene fell silent instantly, everyone filled with fear and unease. How did she know the supplies were gone?

Wang Peng: "Where else could we go? We've already eaten up all that supplies!"
