The state reassembled these people, not only to conduct investigations but also to examine their bodies in detail and place them in the hospital for observation.

"Nan Zhu, you brat!" Guan Nianshan was furious the moment he saw Nan Zhu. He grabbed Nan Zhu's shoulder, his eyes blazing with anger: "You tricked me, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"

“Well, forgive my bluntness.” Nan Zhu had just finished her examination and was holding the report when she glanced at Guan Nianshan unhurriedly. “To be honest, we are both traitors. Before the country holds us accountable, we probably have no right to blame each other.”

"What do you know? I'm an undercover agent, an undercover agent!" Guan Nianshan was so angry that his hair stood on end. "If it weren't for me, do you think that cannon shot on the moon was fired? I put all my savings into it!"

"It turns out you really are a good businessman." Nan Zhu slowly found Guan Nianshan's report and casually patted Guan Nianshan's chest: "The stocks you invested in have soared, and now you've successfully turned your life around."

"You brat!" Guan Nianshan was furious. Nan Zhu was good with words, and it was one thing to lose an argument, but his nonchalant attitude was really infuriating.

"Brother." A soft voice sounded from behind.

Guan Nianshan choked up, turned around, and stared directly into Song Yunshan's eyes. In times of crisis, they could risk their lives to save each other without saying a word, but in peacetime, there was an indescribable awkwardness.

"What's wrong?" Kita Kiyokawa came out with the medical examination report, noticing the strange atmosphere, and couldn't help but be curious.

"It's nothing, just catching up with old friends." Nan Zhu gently shook his head: "Let's go."

In the distance, from the girls' physical examination area, a chattering sound came, attracting the attention of a group of men.

"Changge, are you really going to retire?" Lin Beiyue asked with a look of regret. "With your talent, you would definitely have a smooth career if you became an official."

"Forget it, I'm not going to be that guy's slave anymore." Gu Changge snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and looked dissatisfied: "Uncle Qin and I trusted her so much, and she tricked both of us. It's good enough that we haven't settled accounts with her yet, why would we stay and help her?"

"Where's Freya?" Lin Beiyue asked helplessly. In the end, she was the only one left behind.

"I'm going to become a star, another way to help you," Freya said with a grin. "The apocalypse has just ended, and people need spiritual enrichment. I'll become a star to promote positive energy, and it'll be nationally certified!"

"Speaking of which, Sister Changge, how are things between you and Uncle Qin?" Freya looked at Gu Changge: "He's been acting all mysterious lately, is he going to propose?"

"Really?" Lin Beiyue's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "A banquet?"

"Ha—who cares about him?" However, despite saying this, Gu Changge's face flushed: "He's such a person who cares about ethics; if he really doesn't want to, I respect his decision. Anyway, I don't care..."

Lin Beiyue: "Oh..."

Freya: "Really...?"

Noticing two suspicious gazes, Gu Changge immediately bristled.

"Nonsense, of course it's true. Do you think I'm the kind of person who cares so much about love that I'd die for it?" Gu Changge glared at the two of them. "However, if he insists on doing this... then I won't refuse."

"Ah, right, right, right..."

"Oh, I see..."

"Becoming a star, what's your script?" Nan Zhu glanced at Bei Qingchuan beside him: "You haven't finished filming that variety show yet?"

"Season 2," Kitakami said with a smile. "Season 1 was about survival in the apocalypse, and season 2 is about overcoming the apocalypse. Want to invest? It's a sure thing!"

"Hmph." Nan Zhu snorted lightly, without saying a word.

"Hey, Shi Yin isn't here anymore, don't be so hostile." Kitakami couldn't help but laugh: "Although I'm a little curious, when did you start liking Shi Yin?"

“At the beginning.” Nan Zhu was surprisingly candid when the topic came up.

"So early?" Kita Kiyokawa was a little surprised.

Nan Zhu didn't reply.

He remembered the first time he met Shi Yin.

At that time, they were not familiar with each other. He didn't know about the apocalypse and was just a diplomat who came to hand over his work. Shi Yin was just an ordinary student. They just met at lunchtime on an ordinary afternoon in an ordinary cafeteria.

At that time, he only noticed that there were burning eyes staring at him, as if people were talking. In fact, such things were common. Nan Zhu knew, of course, that he was born with a handsome appearance.

However, when those girls said they wanted to go back and draw him in front of him, he couldn't help but look up at them.

And then, I met a pair of cold, indifferent eyes.

Nan Zhu didn't recognize Shi Yin. She looked up at him, her cool and inquisitive eyes meeting his. Her peach blossom eyes seemed drunk, and her gaze trembled like the fluttering of butterfly wings.

No amount of flowery language can describe the beauty of those eyes. No one can resist them, and he was no exception. He could only follow in her footsteps and willingly become her servant.

"You'd better not worry about me for now." Nan Zhu interrupted Bei Qingchuan, who wanted to continue asking questions: "I've seen the comments online, and some people have already asked why you're not dating or getting married."

Bei Qingchuan is older than Nan Zhu, and he is indeed not young. He is not an idol and is a good person. While netizens kept speculating about who his sister-in-law might be, Bei Qingchuan remained single year after year.

Rumors that Kita Kiyokawa likes men have started to circulate.

"Haha, that was a failed attempt to change the subject, Mr. Diplomat." Kitakyokawa chuckled. "Even so, I won't change my mind."

Nan Zhu: "Hmph."

"There's nothing I can do, I love this world." Kita Kiyokawa looked up at the sky, the golden ashes in his dream seeming to have been just a moment ago, warm and magnificent.

However, Kitakyoshikawa actually recognized who the shadow was.

He saw the petals of the chocolate cosmos, which he had given to Shi Yin. Shi Yin had probably forgotten about it since she was carrying it with her. He didn't expect the flower to be so tenacious, and it had actually managed to scatter its petals until now.

He told Shi Yin that the flower language of chocolate cosmos is memories and unchanging feelings. He only said half of it, after all, the two flower meanings were missing two subjects before them—love.

And, no one can love you like I do.

Sure enough, Shi Yin didn't pay any attention to the meaning of the flowers.

Upon reaching the golden spear, Kita Kiyokawa intended to mourn alone, but bumped into Freya, who appeared to have also come secretly, holding a pink crystal flower in her hands.

"What is this?" Kita Kiyokawa was surprised. He remembered that the superpowers should have all disappeared.

“My sister and I carved it together. I wanted her to give me a gift, and she carved it for me out of rose quartz.” Freya said proudly, “I always carry it with me.”

This reminds her of Shi Yin's appearance, her smile, her gentleness... and her love for everyone.

“In this world, mountains and seas are connected, and towering mountains stretch endlessly.” Freya looked at the horizon, where dawn pierced the darkness and brought light: “From now on, I can openly say that I like her, because I like this world very, very, very much.”

Because time is the world, and the world is time; they love the world, and they love her too.

“Yes, me too.” Kitakami stroked the fluttering red flag and smiled gently: “I, too, love this world very, very much.”
