Huo Yishen hugged Jiang Ning into his arms and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Nothing will happen to him."

This is Jiang Ning's bad point. The cruel environment she grew up in and having experienced two apocalypses have caused her to be pessimistic when encountering things and to tend to think of the worst outcome.

"He is the head of the military base. He must know that the country will rebuild. It has been several months since the plate collision. Survivors from many bases across the country have come to visit him. If nothing happened to him, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"Ocean currents are complex and often beyond human control. He hasn't arrived yet, perhaps because he went in the wrong direction, but he will arrive sooner or later."

Fearing that she would blame herself and feel guilty, Huo Yishen comforted her: "Aning, even if you decided to take him away, he would not leave."

Jiang Ning was speechless for a moment.

Yes, Gu Tinglin will not leave.

From the moment he accepted the national mission, his fate was sealed.

His life belongs to the country and the people.

If Jiang Ning forcibly took him away, he was afraid that he would never have peace for the rest of his life.

Jiang Ning understood, but also seemed not to understand.

"You saved so many people in the past, but the final outcome was... do you regret it?"

Huo Yishen thought calmly, "No regrets."

But God gave him a chance to choose again.

He chose to live a different life.

But he had to admit that there was no perfect solution in the world. Every time he saw the soldiers and police officers who sacrificed their lives to defend their country, he felt uncomfortable.

After all, he was a deserter.

Therefore, Huo Yi deeply understood Gu Tinglin's choice.

Even if Jiang Ning told him the truth about the space, his choice would not change.

"If you take him away by force, your relationship will only deteriorate."

In fact, Jiang Ning knew in her heart that even if she had to choose again, she might still not speak, because Gu Tinglin's answer would not change.

But... every time she used the space, she felt like she owed Gu Tinglin.

She did not acknowledge his identity, but was enjoying the benefits he gave her.

This kind of separation made Jiang Ning restless.

"I believe he will get through it." Huo Yishen held her cold hand, "Aning, if you can meet, I hope you can follow your inner decision and don't let yourself regret it."

An inner decision? Jiang Ning still didn't understand whether he felt guilty about Gu Tinglin because of the space he had gained, or because of the tiny amount of blood relationship he had with Gu Tinglin.

Or maybe it's out of respect for his sacrifice as a soldier of his country.

"It's normal to not be able to figure it out for a while. Time will give you the answer."

Jiang Ning thought about it and leaned on his shoulder to calm down.

At night, the sliding iron door was closed, Doudou and Gou Zi slept at 372, Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen slept at 370, and the room in the middle served as the living room.

The place was narrow, and the two of them lay flat and close to each other, with not much room to turn around and move.

But I feel at ease returning to live in the human world.

As the morning dawned, areas 1-3 became bustling with regular soldiers getting up on time to go to work.

The steel plate is not soundproof, and the various ping-pong noises lasted for more than half an hour before they stopped.

The three people and one dog had nothing to do, so they stayed up until almost eight o'clock, went into the space to brush their teeth and wash their faces, and then came out to have breakfast.

I ate the original soup powder.

Jiang Ning has not yet planned to settle down, so he is not in a hurry to plant potatoes. Instead, he plans to visit the Huacheng base.

After putting the dog into the backpack, the three of them left with the speedboat.

This sea area is well chosen. Except for the tide when the waves can reach two or three meters high, it is relatively quiet at other times.

If land reclamation and island building are successful, it will be very suitable for human habitation.

It is said that the Taoist Bagua compass and advanced scientific detection were used in the site selection.

In short, it is a rare Feng Shui treasure land.

The speedboat was not moving fast, and was slowly turning around the offshore platform under construction.

Except for areas AB which have been completed, other platforms are in full swing, with survivors being moved in as they are built.

It is a bit noisy, but there is no problem with safety protection.

Looking at the large-scale marine construction equipment, Jiang Ning was surprised and asked, "The base has not yet been powered on. How much oil do these equipment consume in a day?"

Huo Yishen looked at the platform under construction. "Large-scale equipment should be equipped with nuclear power to keep working. Otherwise, it will not be able to operate for a long time. Small-scale equipment consumes oil."

Jiang Ning thought it was possible, after all, large equipment did not have exhaust pipes.

It is really big, just like an ant looking at an elephant. This is national infrastructure and the global island-building myth.

But why aren’t platform construction and island building carried out at the same time?

It should be easier to build a platform by raising the seabed terrain.

Before the natural disaster, Tianjing and Tiankun were already the deification of artificial islands. We could just modify the design based on them, so why not use them?

Of course, Jiang Ning is a layman in thinking, and real experts should have their own considerations.

In addition to large equipment, there are many workers on the construction site.

As long as you participate in the construction, whether you are a regular soldier or an ordinary survivor, you must obey the arrangements unconditionally.

After all, this is not the time before the natural disaster. Oil is decreasing every day. We should save what we can, but we should use what humans can.

The base is grandly constructed. The six platforms under construction alone are nearly 30 kilometers in a circle. If twenty of them are built, it will be a huge city.

Huacheng, as long as there are no natural disasters, will be conquered in the near future.

Seeing a boat catching marine life, Jiang Ning came over curiously and asked, "Can we eat it?"

The salvors wore protective clothing and worked together to pull the fishing net out of the sea. "We dare not eat it now. The research department wants to conduct experiments to see if there is any way to remove the toxins from the fish."

Ever since the oceans were polluted by ancient viruses, humans have almost lost their source of meat.
