Chapter 118 Base Director

He stretched out his trembling hand, wanting to touch her black hair, but found that his skin hung loosely on his hand, like that of a man in his seventies or eighties.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he lost his breath and started coughing.

Liu Chuchun was awakened. She was surprised and distressed to see Ying Shen waking up, but she said nothing. She just patted his back to help him calm down.

Ying Shen lowered his head, not daring to let Liu Chuchun see his face. He must have looked very ugly at this moment.

Seeing that his cough had improved a little, Liu Chuchun poured him a glass of water: "Why are you hiding? I've seen your face a long time ago, or do you not want to see your ex-wife? Do you dislike me getting old?"

Captain Ying lowered his head, his voice hoarse from not having spoken for so long: "No, that's not what I meant. You are very beautiful, just like before, but now I am... too ugly."

Liu Chuchun rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, saying in an unhappy tone: "I don't even dislike your ugliness, but you do. If I disliked your appearance, I wouldn't be here."

Ying took a deep breath and drank a glass of water. After a long silence, he said, "I'm sorry. It's my fault."

Just this one sentence made Liu Chuchun's eyes red, but she still tried hard not to let the tears flow: "It's not all your fault, I was too young at the time... I always liked to act like a spoiled child. When you were busy with work, I thought you didn't love me."

Ying Shen could hear her crying voice, and then he dared to look up at Liu Chuchun. He wanted to reach out and wipe away her tears, but stopped: "It's not your fault. You were young and playful back then, and I should have spent more time with you."

Twelve years ago, 20-year-old Liu Chuchun met 28-year-old Ying Shen. They fell in love at first sight and got married two years later.

At that time, Ying Shen was already the deputy minister of the provincial equipment development department (please do not bring this into reality), and he was in the most critical years for promotion.

He was extremely busy after marriage and neglected Liu Chuchun.

Liu Chuchun was in her prime and felt that she had chosen the wrong person, so she decided to divorce. The two officially divorced in the fourth year of their marriage.

Ying Shen tried to win her back, but Liu Chuchun felt that he didn't even spend time with her, so there was no need to get back together.

I destroyed all my phone cards and social media apps and started traveling around the country.

After Ying Shen figured out his feelings, he wanted to find her, but found that he could not get in touch with her no matter what. This gap lasted for four whole years.

When the end of the world came, the 40-year-old Ying Shen reached the peak of his career. He successfully received an order from the central government to establish a base and was appointed as the base commander.

After working hard for half a year to finally build the base, he fainted from overwork and only woke up now.

During this period, I woke up several times in a daze, and it seemed that I had my fingerprints pressed and signed a few times before I fell asleep again.

When I woke up, I saw Liu Chuchun standing by my bed. She was still as beautiful as ever. Although there were a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she had her own unique charm even more.

Ying Shen was an excellent marksman, one of the best in southern Hunan Province. During the years when Liu Chuchun was married to him, she could practice shooting at the shooting range.

Under his guidance and Liu Chuchun's own excellent talent, he became the first place in the shooting competition in the Xiangnan Provincial Army in less than a year.

He was once invited by the army to join, but was rejected by Ying Shen because he did not want Liu Chuchun to perform dangerous missions.

But Liu Chuchun felt that he did not recognize her own value, which was one of the contradictions that led to their divorce.

The main reason for their divorce was the generation gap, coupled with the self-righteous emotion of doing things for the best of you. Now, as they grow older, both of them realize that they were wrong and understand each other more and more.

Now that we meet again, I can't stop feeling emotional.

But Ying Shen felt that he was too ugly now and did not dare to express his feelings.

Unexpectedly, Liu Chuchun hugged him and cried. Her voice was softer than ever before. Her nasal voice and slightly hoarse voice made her sound pitiful like a stray kitten. "I don't mind you. Besides, you are just skinny. Look at you. You are just bones. If you eat more, you will become thin again."

What she didn't say was that even if eating didn't work, there were growth factors and healing powers, and she would definitely be able to get back to her original state.

…

After listening to Sister Liu's story, everyone finally understood how Sister Liu, an ordinary person, could be such a good shooter and had such a deep understanding of various firearms. So that's how it was.

Ying Shen realized that two years had passed in his sleep, and learned that so many things had happened, and he sighed for a while.

Then he looked at the people in Team 24, and after careful consideration, he said, "I am old and in poor health. I will leave the base to you from now on."

"Ah, us? This won't work. No, we have never managed anyone." Xia Guang hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands. He had a clear understanding of his own strength.

Ying Shen just smiled, his weak voice steady: "No, you have handled it very well these past few days, and you know the base better than I do. I believe you can do it."

After saying that, he smiled and looked at Liu Chuchun affectionately: "I'm old, it's time to retire. Besides, I have to use the time I wasted before to find my wife."

Liu Chuchun glared at Ying Shen angrily. What nonsense were you talking about in such a formal occasion? However, he couldn't suppress his smile at all, and his ears turned red.

Ying Shen's eyes were full of love when he noticed this, and he knew that she would fall for it.

Everyone sensed the ambiguous atmosphere between the two and left the ward on the pretext that they had things to do, leaving the space to the two.

Du Tao stood blankly inside the door; he still had to treat the base commander's injuries.

Xia Guang walked to the door and pulled him out by his arm: "It will be the same for the next treatment. The first one to leave first."

Du Tao scratched his head and followed Xia Guang in a daze. Normal people are really strange. They don’t even treat their injuries.

After leaving the ward, everyone came to the conference room in Area 1 and gathered all the senior executives to discuss who should be the new base chief.

All members of the four hunting teams supported Zhang Xiaobai, and some supported their own captains, but they were in the minority.

Except for Du Tao who foolishly supported his captain, everyone else in the second team just supported someone else.

Zhao Yunyao said with a smile: "I support Sister Pu Zhi!"

When Du Tao heard this, he immediately changed his choice to Pu Zhi.

Pu Zhi's mouth twitched. She didn't want to be the boss. Please don't bother me, thank you...

When the people from Team 3 saw that Team 4 had all chosen Zhang Xiaobai, they realized that the outcome was already decided, so they just did him a favor and chose him.

The hundreds of people present are all discerning people, and the base commander will only choose from among the psychics. Since the psychics all chose Zhang Xiaobai, they will just follow his choice.

In the end, Zhang Xiaobai was elected as the head of base number three with 80% of the votes, and Jin Na from team four became the deputy head of base number three.

The hunting teams were re-ranked, and Team 2 naturally became Team 1 and moved into Area 1.

Those who had committed crimes in the original hunting team were driven away or shot, two of them joined other teams, and Luo Yun joined Team One.

After the Central Hospital of District 1 was cleaned up, she realized that her brother could have woken up long ago, but in order to trap himself, Li Cang had the doctor inject him with drugs similar to anesthetics, which kept him asleep.

Upon learning this, Luo Yun covered his face and cried. He joined the team in order to give his brother the best care, but he didn't expect that he would harm him.
