Chapter 100 Confession: Let’s be together!
Du Ruanlan looked at the psychic behind the zombie group. His gaze searched the crowd and fell on Ji An.
Du Ruanlan stretched out her long black nails and pointed at Ji An, then at her own brain.
He Tao asked cautiously: "What does he want to do?"
"Du Ruanlan wants me to act as an interpreter between him and Owen. Owen can no longer understand what he is saying." Ji An jumped out of the car, and Gu Jinsheng followed suit.
Ji An and Gu Jinsheng walked up to Du Ruanlan together. Du Ruanlan nodded to Ji An. Ji An released his mental power to invade the brain of the zombie version of Du Ruanlan.
Although Du Ruanlan had turned into a zombie, Ji An did not rashly look through Du Ruanlan's memories. He just stayed obediently on the periphery of Du Ruanlan's spiritual sea of consciousness, acting only as a translator between the two.
"Thank you, Ji An." As soon as Ji An and Du Ruanlan's spiritual power were connected, they heard Du Ruanlan's thanks.
"I'll ask you to take good care of Owen from now on." Du Ruanlan continued.
"I will." Ji An answered in his mind.
Du Ruanlan pointed at Jiang Fuzhong. Jiang Fuzhong thought Du Ruanlan wanted to tell him something, so he immediately asked, "What did the boss tell me?"
Ji An translated: "Du Ruanlan asked you to help him wipe Owen's tears."
"Ah? Oh oh." Jiang Fuzhong searched his body for a long time but couldn't find a handkerchief or tissue. It was Gu Jinsheng who gave him a pack of tissues.
Jiang Fuzhong helped Owen wipe the tears from his face. Du Ruanlan nodded in satisfaction. Ji An translated: "Du Ruanlan wants you to protect Owen in the future."
Jiang Fuzhong immediately said, "Boss, don't worry. It will remain the same as it was when you were here."
Du Ruanlan nodded, then looked at Owen, "Owen, I once thought that if I turned into a zombie, I would let you kill me with your own hands, but if the day comes when I really turn into a zombie, even if I still have a trace of consciousness, I will not be willing to die like that.
Let me leave. I want to keep the last bit of decency, dignity, and freedom in front of you."
Owen thought about Du Ruanlan's character. He was such a casual person. If he was locked in a cage for the rest of his life, it would not be protection, but an insult to Du Ruanlan.
Owen closed her eyes and let the tears flow down. She nodded with difficulty, "Okay, I'll let you go."
"Thank you, Owen."
"If you meet me who has completely turned into a zombie in the future, please don't show mercy and kill me directly. I would rather be killed by you than by others."
"You can dig out the zombie crystal core in my brain. I believe in myself. Even if I become a zombie, my zombie crystal core will definitely be the most powerful one in terms of supernatural power. It may allow people to advance to higher levels. Remember to tell me when the time comes."
Owen was sobbing and his eyesight was blurred by tears.
"Goodbye, Owen, my love!"
"Goodbye, Jiang Fuzhong, my brother!"
Du Ruanlan finally waved to Owen and Jiang Fuzhong, and left with a group of zombies.
"Ruan Lan..."
“Boss…”
"Du Ruanlan..."
“Boss…”
When they parted, Owen and Jiang Fuzhong were so emotional that Ji An and the others couldn't hold them back at all. In the end, they could only knock them out and take them back.
Before Du Ruanlan officially turned into a zombie, his story had been kept secret. Now that Du Ruanlan has completely turned into a zombie and left the Los Angeles base, there is nothing to hide about this matter. Gu Jinsheng is not the kind of petty person who would erase the achievements of the previous commander, so he asked Owen to be the representative to make public on the public channel that Du Ruanlan turned into a zombie to protect the base, and it was also played on the big screens in all public places in the base.
Du Ruanlan’s sacrifice should let every resident of the Los Angeles base know that the peace they have today is the result of Du Ruanlan’s life.
Of course, there is also Bi Xue's contribution. In order to save the Los Angeles base, Bi Xue was willing to give up her spatial abilities and become an ordinary person. From then on, her lifespan was not as long as that of a person with special abilities. She also deserves to be remembered by all the residents of the Los Angeles base.
Owen said to Gu Jinsheng sincerely: "Gu Jinsheng, thank you for letting everyone in the base know about his sacrifice."
Gu Jinsheng said: "You don't need to thank me, this is what Du Ruanlan deserves."
As soon as Gu Jinsheng's public channel broadcast the story of Du Ruanlan, he received requests for help from countless bases.
Gu Jinsheng said solemnly: "The other bases were not able to rescue in time not because they did not want to help, but because these bases were attacked by the Psycho Zombie King at the same time."
Gu Jinsheng looked at Ji An and said, "I don't know if these psychic zombie kings are connected, but their routines are the same. They first control the psychics who are out, and then these controlled psychics return to the base and find an opportunity to open the city gate. The zombies sneak in, destroy the signal tower and the blocking helmet, and officially invade the base."
Ji An asked: "How many bases are there that we can't contact?"
"There are three more large bases, and some of the small bases are known and some are unknown. There must be dozens of them."
Ji An sighed, "I know. Send high-level psychics to take a look. If it's too dangerous and you're not sure whether the base has become a zombie lair, don't force your way in."
Gu Jinsheng nodded, "How much can you get out of the mental scanner if you work overtime?"
Ji An said: "I haven't kept the core technology secret, and many outsiders have joined in to help. It should be quick. By the time they set off, there will be five large bases and two small bases. It shouldn't be a problem."
Of course, as the main base, Ji An from the Beijing base has sent the information to Zhou Fanxiu and others as soon as possible, asking them to develop it immediately. If they don’t understand something, they can contact him for guidance at any time.
Gu Jinsheng said: "The mental scanner is barely enough, but what about the psychic who can remove mental suggestion?"
Ji An said: "We have been away from the base for half a month. The psychics in our base have been training continuously. Let's dispatch the psychic psychics with good performance first and send more psychics for protection. We need the people with the best mental resistance and the highest psychic level to protect us."
"This is the only way for now." Gu Jinsheng said, "Just now the North Base sent me a distress signal, asking me to go there. It seems that the base suffered heavy losses this time and wants to join the Beijing Base. I need to go there in person. Do you want to go?"
Ji An looked at Gu Jinsheng, looking straight into his eyes, "I want to go. From now on, wherever you go, I will follow you."
This was the first time that Ji An said such ambiguous and unclear words. Gu Jinsheng's heart was beating wildly. He looked back into Ji An's eyes. This time, Ji An did not avoid his sight and also looked back at him.
Gu Jinsheng didn’t know if he was too eager to get Ji An’s emotional response that led to an illusion. He seemed to see different feelings in Ji An’s eyes.
Gu Jinsheng's Adam's apple rolled, "Xiao An, do you still remember the question I asked you in the medical room when you woke up from your faint? Now, so much time has passed, are you willing to give me an answer?"
"I do." Ji An looked at Gu Jinsheng with a smile, "Jinsheng, let's be together!"
At that moment, Gu Jinsheng heard the sound of blood flowing backwards throughout his body, heard a buzzing sound in his ears, heard the sound of thousands of flowers blooming, and heard the sound of all things reviving.
Gu Jinsheng was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions. Thunder Dragon rolled out of his brain. As soon as he came out, he rubbed Ji An's face and called out affectionately, "An An, I missed you so much. Gu Jinsheng, this big fool, was so excited that he couldn't hold me when he heard you agree to him. An An, he is still wondering if he heard it wrongly. Do you think he is an idiot?"
Ji An smiled, his eyes curved into crescents, brighter and warmer than the bright moon in the night sky. He moved closer to Gu Jinsheng, stood on tiptoes and kissed Gu Jinsheng gently on the lips. He said, "Gu Jinsheng, you heard me right, let's be together."
Gu Jinsheng hugged Ji An tightly, unable to control his surging and passionate emotions any longer, and deeply kissed the person in front of him whom he had been thinking about day and night.
Lei Long jumped up and down beside him, yelling, "I want one too, I want one too, An An, can you kiss me too?"
"An An, can you please also use your special power? You and Gu Jinsheng are so affectionate, but I am all alone, like an old bachelor. I feel so pitiful and lonely."
Lei Long kept yelling at the side, and he was really a good player who ruined the atmosphere. Unfortunately, Gu Jinsheng covered both of Ji An's ears with his hands, and he didn't care what Lei Long was muttering.
When the two separated, both were panting. Gu Jinsheng was reluctant to let go of Ji An. He held his head and put his lips against Ji An's. The warm breath unique to Gu Jinsheng sprayed on Ji An's lips, full of ambiguity.
Gu Jinsheng asked in a hoarse voice: "Why?"
"I suddenly came to my senses. I don't want to waste time any more. I should let go of the past." Ji An looked into Gu Jinsheng's eyes. "I don't want us to become Owen and Du Ruanlan. I don't want to regret it. We, all of us have limited time. If we like someone, we like him. If we take it to heart, we take it to heart. There's no need to resist this feeling."
Ji An clearly saw the storm in Gu Jinsheng's eyes. The fierce and ferocious waves seemed to swallow up the sky and the earth. Ji An was frightened when he saw it.
"Xiao An, tell me, are you willing to agree to me because of who I am at this moment, or because I am the little boy you remember?"
"You!" Ji An answered affirmatively.
Gu Jinsheng couldn't hold back any longer and kissed Ji An again.
At this moment, the violent storm outside has nothing to do with them. There is only each other in their world.
DeWitt at T base had been waiting for the result of the invasion of the various bases of Country Xia by the spiritual zombie king, but in the end he found that only some small and medium-sized bases were destroyed, and several large bases were only severely damaged. In particular, Gu Jinsheng and Ji An not only escaped the pursuit of Country R's stealth fighters, but also escaped the attack of the spiritual zombie king and recaptured the Los Angeles base. DeWitt was so angry that he jumped to his feet.
He angrily cursed Kobashi Ichiro on the other end of the video, "Are you an idiot? You lose in aerial combat, and you don't understand how to deploy the psychic zombie king. What else can you do!"
Ichiro Kobashi couldn't help but excuse himself, "The commander-in-chief of the Luo City base died in this battle. He was also a very powerful figure, not inferior to Gu Jinsheng!
We haven’t gained nothing.”
"Bullshit! Who cares about him! I want the lives of Gu Jinsheng and Ji An. I don't care about the Los Angeles base or not." DeWitt yelled, "I told you to focus on sending mental zombies to the Los Angeles base. Do you really think you are dealing with the Los Angeles base and Du Ruanlan?
I told you, these are all strategies. The strategy to lure Gu Jinsheng and Ji An out of the Jingshi base is to eliminate these two people halfway!"
Kobashi Ichiro chuckled, "I know, we could have destroyed them in mid-air. I wonder what method Ji An used to let them escape."
"That Ji An has created a mental scanner that can scan whether the brain of a mutant has been invaded by the mind. If not, he can continue to use the mental zombies to attack the Jing City base."
"Quibbling!" DeWitt said, "I don't want to hear quibbling, Kobashi Ichiro, I'm officially informing you that Commander-in-Chief Charles is very dissatisfied with your performance this time, and he has issued you an ultimatum.
If you can't find a way to kill Gu Jinsheng and Ji An, then Commander Charles will make R Base disappear from the earth completely."
DeWitt hung up the video after saying these harsh words, completely ignoring Ichiro Kobashi's pleadings on the other end of the video.
DeWitt, who had been so arrogant just now, turned around and put on a flattering and fawning smile. He said to Charles on the other end of the video: "Commander Charles, don't worry this time. Ichiro Kobashi will definitely not dare to fail to do his best."
Charles stared at DeWitt gloomily with his one eye. "It's better to be that way. Otherwise, neither you nor Kobashi Ichiro will escape punishment."
"Have you obtained the core technology of Ji An's new mental scanner?" Charles became furious when he mentioned this. Ji An actually dared to completely block the technology from all bases except the Xia Country base.
DeWitt was filled with shame, not daring to look at Charles, "I'm sorry, Commander Charles, we didn't get the core technology of the mental scanner."
"Why didn't you get it? Didn't Ji An say that the technology was open to all bases in Xia Country? Why not open it to T Base?"
Except for Base T, most of the Xia Country bases have obtained the core technology of the mind scanner, and only a few bases have not obtained the technology.
Everyone knows what is going on with these bases. Although they are still on the land of Xia, they have long been puppets of Country R or Country M.
Charles said, "Idiot, can't you fight a propaganda war? Can't you disintegrate them from within? Since T Base is the Xia Country base, you can use this identity to mobilize the relations between the various bases in Xia Country and start a civil war in Xia Country."
DeWitt said, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Charles snorted coldly, hung up the video, and asked the assistant beside him: "Is it still impossible to pry open the mouth of that woman from the Jing City base?"
"We're trying to figure it out. It should be ready soon." The assistant replied cautiously, trembling with fear, thinking of those colleagues who were killed by Charles because of giving a wrong answer.
"Waste! All waste!!!" Charles grabbed the assistant's neck and broke it regardless of the assistant's struggle.
Three days later, Gu Jinsheng and Ji An took dozens of psychics and flew to the North Base.
When they arrived, the North Base had basically stabilized, but when Gu Jinsheng got off the plane and stepped into the North Base, he almost didn't recognize that this piece of devastated land was the North Base.
Cong Xun said bitterly: "I don't have the ability like Du Ruanlan. The Psychic Zombie King didn't sneak in, but just controlled the high-level psychics in the base and almost destroyed my entire northern base."
Cong Xun couldn't imagine what their North Base would become if the spiritual zombie king infiltrated like he did in the Los Angeles base.
He himself would probably be mentally controlled by the Zombie King. Even if he wanted to die together with the Zombie King in order to protect the base like Du Ruanlan did, he couldn't do it, because he couldn't get rid of the Zombie King's mental control like Gu Jinsheng did.
All we can say is that the North Base was lucky this time. They unexpectedly discovered something was wrong in advance and thus escaped the disaster.
The reason why the North Base still exists is not because of how powerful he, the commander-in-chief, is so powerful, but because the North Base is lucky. It is purely a matter of luck.
It was because of this that Cong Xun was afraid and eager to lead the North Base to join the Beijing Base.
Cong Xun said somewhat awkwardly: "Commander-in-Chief Gu, the technology of the mental scanner you sent us, our researchers at the institute don't understand many parts of it?"
Ji An said: "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I am the developer."
Cong Xun looked at Ji An and felt that he looked familiar. He thought hard for a long time before he widened his eyes and said, "You are Ji An, the ex-boyfriend of the blind SB commander of the Third Base, and the developer of the space storage props. But didn't you lose your superpowers? How can you still do research in order to protect a group of children?"
Ji An was speechless. Why did everyone ask him this? Jiang Fuzhong had asked this question before, and now Cong Xun asked it again.
Why can't we do research without psychic powers? Before the apocalypse, all researchers didn't have psychic powers, yet they were still able to create miracles one after another.
It was when his psychic powers were destroyed that he created the treatment cabin and restored his powers.
Just as Ji An was about to say something, Gu Jinsheng's voice rang out before him. Gu Jinsheng's speech was usually calm, but this time, everyone could hear the coldness in Gu Jinsheng's tone.
"Xiao An is my partner, please don't make the same mistake again, Commander Cong." Gu Jinsheng's tone was cold and full of overbearing possessiveness.
Ji An's face got hot.
Cong Xun was so shocked that he kept coughing.
Ji An said sweetly and helplessly, "I am Ji An, and now I am Jin Sheng's partner. I didn't actually lose my abilities before, it's just that the situation was complicated at the time, and there may have been some misunderstandings."
Ji An repeated what he had said to fool the people at the Jingshi base.
Cong Xun believed it immediately, mainly because he didn't think Ji An had any reason to lie to him.
Ji An was helping the researchers at the North Base to explain the issues they did not understand. Gu Jinsheng was even busier. While he was busy taking over the North Base, he was also dealing with some issues at the new bases. Later, when there were still people who wanted to join the Beijing Base after the war and seek protection, Gu Jinsheng did not go to receive them in person, and instead delegated Zhou Qin, Wan Xueying and Kong Zhongcheng to do so.
By the end of the year, the post-disaster reconstruction of the North Base was finally completed, and Gu Jinsheng and Ji An could finally leave.
At the same time, the North Base has officially joined the Beijing Base and become a branch base of the Beijing Base.
Gu Jinsheng did not replace Cong Xun and still let him serve as the commander-in-chief of the North Base.
"It was not until I joined the Beijing base that I realized that our North Base was actually a backward village. It turned out that the space-related abilities could produce so many tricks, such as space slash, space blade, space displacement and teleportation.
My God, I have the illusion that our base has found the right partner and has entered the interstellar age in one fell swoop."
When sending Gu Jinsheng to the plane, Cong Xun sighed, "If I had known that if I joined the Beijing City Base, I wouldn't have to spend money to buy the right to buy nutrients, and I could enjoy internal discounts, free treatment cabins, and the welfare policies of the Beijing City Base, I would have joined long ago."
This is just for fun. If there hadn't been the sudden invasion of the spiritual zombie king, the Luo City base would have suffered heavy losses. Cong Xun would never have joined the Jing City base, no matter how good the policies and benefits of the Jing City base were.
Gu Jinsheng didn't take these words seriously. He gave Cong Xun some instructions on the development of the base and then left by plane.
Now the entire sky over Xia Country is filled with patrolling fighter jets to prevent what happened last time.
This time, Ji An and his crew's plane did not encounter any accidents and flew directly into the airport at the Los Angeles base.
As soon as the plane landed, Jiang Fuzhong came to pick them up. Ji An and Gu Jinsheng got in the car and went straight back to the command center.
After not coming back for a few months, the Luo City Base has changed a lot. It is no longer in the mess when Gu Jinsheng first arrived, and has returned to normal life. In fact, with the strong support of the Beijing City Base, and the help of nutrients and treatment cabins, the overall appearance of the Luo City Base is more prosperous than before.
As soon as Ji An and Gu Jinsheng got out of the car, they saw some psychics erecting a huge statue at the entrance of the headquarters.
The material of the statue was a bit strange and looked familiar, but for a moment Ji An couldn't remember what it was made of.
"What is that?" Ji An asked.
Jiang Fuzhong may have misunderstood Ji An's question and said awkwardly: "It's the boss's crystal core statue."
The boss that Jiang Fuzhong mentioned has always been Du Ruanlan, and he has always called Gu Jinsheng "Chief Commander Gu" in a proper manner.
Before this matter, Owen had asked Gu Jinsheng about his opinion, and Gu Jinsheng agreed at that time.
Jiang Fuzhong was afraid that Gu Jinsheng would be unhappy, so he quickly explained: "This is something we did spontaneously to commemorate the boss's sacrifice for the base. We definitely don't mean to disrespect you."
Gu Jinsheng didn't care about this. He waved his hand and said, "This is what Du Ruanlan deserves. If Du Ruanlan hadn't sacrificed herself, the Luo City base might have been destroyed long ago. Even if Xiao An and I arrived later, I'm afraid we would have only faced a zombie nest."
Ji An quietly held Gu Jinsheng's hand. Du Gu Jinsheng's mouth corners slightly raised. He didn't care about it in the first place, and completely put the matter behind him. He felt so happy that his wife took the initiative to hold his hand.
Jiang Fuzhong was relieved to see that Gu Jinsheng really didn't care, but at the same time he was a little confused. Even if Gu Jinsheng didn't care, he wouldn't be happy.
Jiang Fuzhong stopped thinking about why Gu Jinsheng was so happy and said, "Bi Xue also has a sculpture, but it's made of stone. It's in the square, not here."
