He couldn't wait to take the image and run into the air-raid shelter to ask everyone who passed by.

Junjue arrived at the air-raid shelter of the Song Language Base and eagerly approached one of the guards, asking, "Have you seen the girl in the portrait?"

The guard glanced at the portrait blankly and shook his head.

"Sorry, it's so cold that everyone is covering their mouths, noses and faces, so we're not sure if we've seen it before."

"Unsure? No problem! I'll keep asking!"

If she's ever been here, someone will always know.

Subsequently, another group of people entered the cave. They were also drawn to the question posed by the Duke and picked up the portrait to examine it closely.

"Sorry, we haven't met before!"

"Such a unique face, we'll definitely remember it once we've seen it!"

"It's such a pity about this girl. If she hadn't been disfigured, she would definitely be very beautiful."

A group of people said with regret.

At that moment, the base's administrators came out and, seeing the group gathered together, asked curiously, "What happened? Why are you all gathered here?"

Upon seeing Junjue, the manager respectfully approached and smiled, "Captain Jun! Didn't you return to the capital?"

Why are you still here? What happened?

The nobleman stepped forward and coldly replied, "Have you seen the girl in the portrait? I am eager to know anything about her."

She's very important to me!

When the base's administrators saw the portrait, their expression suddenly shifted. After a moment's thought, they said:

"She's yours?"

Seeing the other person hesitate, Junjue quickly said, "She is my girlfriend, and I have been looking for her!"

You know you have to tell me, she's really important to me.

Seeing the anxious look on Junjue's face, the manager sighed and said:

"Captain Jun! You're too late!"

She did stay at our base for four or five months, but for some reason, she left a little over two hours ago!

"Did she leave? Did she leave because she saw me looking for her?"

The Duke felt a pang of sorrow as he looked at the portrait of the face he longed for, imagining the pain and confusion Wan'er had suffered because of the change in her appearance.

"I will take your information and continue my search for her!"

"Captain Jun, you're welcome!"

Seeing Junjue's distressed expression, the manager comforted him:

"Captain Jun, you have such a kind heart, you'll find her sooner or later."

It's so cold outside, aren't you going to rest for a while?

It wouldn't be good to catch a cold!

"No need, thank you!"

"If she comes back, you must remember to let me know!" Junjue's face was full of disappointment and sadness, and even more so, resentment.

"Captain Jun, you've done our base such a great favor, we'll definitely keep an eye out for you," the manager replied.

"Thanks!"

After saying this, the Duke left with a feeling of disappointment.

He was really driven crazy by the woman he loved. She knew he was looking for her and that he couldn't live without her, yet she was still avoiding him.

"You heartless woman, once I find you, you won't be able to leave my side for even a moment."

Activating his spatial teleportation skill, Zhang Jun soared high in the sky amidst a blanket of white snow.

Looking at the thick blanket of snow covering the ground, I wondered where she had gone.

Unfortunately, I had no choice but to return to the capital!

If someone wants to hide from you, you won't be able to find them even if they're right next to you.

He scratched his short hair, which was covered in snow, and continued his journey back to the Imperial Capital Gliding Ridge Shelter.

In the end, they missed their chance; if only they hadn't deactivated the system notification to cancel the copying ability.

He was so close, so very close, to finding his Wan'er again, but he missed her. He was so unwilling to accept it.

Junjue returned to the post-apocalyptic fortress, feeling utterly dejected and exhausted. He took a shower, covered his head, and fell into a deep sleep.

But even in his sleep, his dreams wouldn't give him peace!

In a warm room inside the post-apocalyptic fortress, morning light streamed through the snow-white walls, illuminating the entire space.

Outside, the snow was falling heavily, but inside the fortress, there was no feeling of coldness; on the contrary, it was full of life.

The Duke sat at the table, his tall and imposing figure exuding great majesty.

He was intently looking at the information on the computer screen, his brow slightly furrowed, as if he were pondering something.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!" Junjue said, turning towards the doorway.

The door opened, and a young man walked in. He was thin, with a somewhat sallow and gaunt face, but his gaze was firm and his expression honest; he was none other than Chen Fan, the newly joined teammate.

Although he is young, his awakened superpowers in this apocalyptic world have already shown remarkable performance.

"Good morning, teammates!" Chen Fan greeted Junjue with a smile.

Good morning, Chen Fan. You've come at the perfect time; I was just about to have a discussion meeting with my teammates.

"Why don't you join us? You can also get to know them." Junjue patted Chen Fan on the shoulder in a friendly manner, gesturing for him to sit down.

Chen Fan walked over to Junjue and saw photos of six people and some basic information displayed on the screen.

He recognized these people as his future comrades-in-arms—Di Zhantian, Dongfang Ao, Su Ye, Ye Yuan, Yue Chi, and Yue Ying.

"They are our team members, and they play an important role in the apocalypse."

"We need to cooperate better to survive in this cruel world," the Duke explained.

Chen Fan's eyes lit up. He raised his fingers and looked at the photos carefully, trying to remember their names and characteristics.
