Chapter 57: Ending
Ji An didn't know where he was. All he could see was the vast desert. He raised his head and looked into the distance, but the place where the sky and the earth met was still a desert.
The whole world was left with only an endless desert, with no oasis or water source, and as he walked through it, he would only face death.
His lungs were so dry that they felt burning, and his lips were covered with cracked dead skin. Ji An stuck out his tongue and licked them twice, but it didn't provide any relief. Instead, it became dry and painful.
Ji An continued to walk forward. His legs became heavier and heavier. It seemed as if he had to use all his strength to take each step.
He looked down and found that he had two sandbags tied to his legs. The strange thing was that the two sandbags grew bigger with every step he took, as if the sand inside them was getting more and more.
Ji An felt that his arms had become extremely heavy, weighing him down so much that he had to bend his back to feel comfortable.
It turned out that his wrists had been tied with sandbags at some point, and the sandbags were also filled with sand that increased in volume as he walked.
But despite this, Ji An still did not stop. He continued to move forward, dragging his heavy limbs.
Suddenly the sky turned dark and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Ji An looked around in confusion, not knowing why the world that was bright one second suddenly turned dark the next. It was so dark that there was not even a star in the sky.
After about a few seconds, Ji An saw a small light the size of a firefly appearing from a very far distance.
The small point of light seemed to be getting closer and closer, and it was getting bigger and brighter.
In the blink of an eye, the small dot of light appeared in front of Ji An's eyes. It was no longer a small dot of light, but an oval object as big as a millstone. It emitted a dazzling white light all over its body, illuminating the entire sky as bright as day.
Ji An had to cover his eyes with his arms. Even so, he couldn't open his eyes and could only half-close them.
The oval-shaped object seemed to have opened a cover, and a humanoid creature walked out of it. Ji An didn't know if it was a human or not. His eyes were illuminated by the strong light and he couldn't see clearly, only a vague shadow.
"Ji An, your time is up, you should go!" The humanoid creature seemed to speak, but also seemed not to speak.
His voice filled Ji An's surroundings, as if it came from his left, or from his right, or from the sky, or from the ground beneath his feet, omnipresent.
Ji An felt his body being pulled forward by an invisible energy, and he suddenly became light. He looked down and found that the sandbags tied to his wrists and ankles had disappeared at some point.
He floated in the air, doing nothing but following the pulling force. He felt extremely relaxed, as if he had taken off a heavy coat.
Ji An floated slowly and soon came to the front of the oval-shaped object. When he got closer, he found that it was not the oval-shaped object itself that was glowing, but there was a circle of strong lights on it. They were emitting dazzling light, illuminating the entire dark night.
"Come back." The voice spoke again.
Ji An saw three steps appear under his feet, leading to a door. Behind the door was pitch black at first, and he didn't know how far it was dark. Suddenly, it became as bright as day, and there was a dazzling light at the end.
Just as Ji An was about to step on the first step, he heard voices calling from behind him, "Ji An... Ji An... Ji An..."
The voice was full of sorrow and pain, as if it was heartbroken.
Ji An tilted his head, a confused look on his face. He felt that he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before and it was a very familiar voice.
Ji An couldn't help but turn his head to look, and there was still an empty void behind him, nothing but darkness.
"Ji An, do you still want to stay on this desolate planet for a lower life form?" The voice spoke again. It was everywhere. It seemed that the information was not transmitted to Ji An through his ears, but was communicated directly with Ji An through his brain.
It seemed to be able to control Ji An's mind and make Ji An follow him.
Ji An couldn't help but keep his feet on the steps.
"Ji An... Ji An... Ji An..." The distant call was urgent and getting closer and closer...
Suddenly it came in front of Ji An, and a bright light came from nowhere, illuminating a small area. In the area sat a familiar-looking man, and in his arms was someone who was extremely familiar to Ji An.
That person is Ji An himself!
The light that illuminated the familiar man was emitted by the man himself. It was a wisp of energy fluctuations that came out from his brain.
They came out of the man's brain and then drilled into Ji An's brain while he was in the man's arms.
Ji An suddenly felt a series of stabbing pains in his brain, as if thousands of needles were inserted into his brain.
"Ah!!!" Ji An held his head and screamed in pain! He pulled his feet back unconsciously.
"Despicable low-level creatures, actually use this method..." The words following the omnipresent voice turned into a string of strange sound waves that Ji An could not understand, hissing and harsh.
"Ji An... Ji An... Ji An..." The familiar voice called Ji An's name sadly again, but this time, the voice did not appear behind Ji An, but rang in Ji An's brain.
"Sizzle, sizzle..." At the same time, the ubiquitous sound also rang out, but this time it only transmitted harsh and meaningless sound waves.
But Ji An already remembered the voice that called his name.
When I think of the owner of the voice, I recall his handsome face, with its strong and deep contours and sharp facial features, like a sculpture of an ancient Greek god.
Especially the pair of eyes on the cold face that seemed indifferent but actually contained cunning tricks, like a vast ocean, and Ji An was a small boat floating in it, getting flustered with every wave.
"Gu Jinsheng." Ji An finally called out these three words, and the disc-shaped object that was as bright as daylight suddenly disappeared, and darkness returned.
But this time the night was no longer pitch black. Stars appeared in the night sky, and then more and more, and in a blink of an eye, thousands of stars were hanging and twinkling in the night sky.
It looks like an upside-down Milky Way, extremely beautiful.
"Gu Jinsheng, look, the night sky is so beautiful tonight, full of stars..." Ji An turned around and pointed to Gu Jinsheng.
Gu Jinsheng looked up, and Ji An met a pair of bloodshot eyes. The eyes were all red. Gu Jinsheng spoke with a sad expression, "Ji An..."
"Ah!!!" For some reason, as soon as Gu Jinsheng called him, his head hurt so much that it felt like it was splitting open.
Moreover, Ji An felt that his whole body was being burned by the intense flames. He seemed to be a piece of meat on an iron plate, being fried inside and out. Thick smoke seemed to fill his chest, and his lungs felt like they were being burned by smoke.
Water, spiritual spring water, he has spiritual spring water.
Ji An turned around to look for the spiritual spring water and found that it was right next to him. He endured the splitting headache and staggered towards the spiritual spring, dragging his limbs covered with heavy sandbags.
Ji An scooped up a handful of spiritual spring water and took a big gulp. His lungs and stomach seemed to be less burning.
He thought that Gu Jinsheng must be feeling uncomfortable because he was hugging him, so he wanted to hug him too.
Ji An scooped up another handful of water from the spiritual spring and stumbled towards Gu Jinsheng. However, Gu Jinsheng refused to drink and just kept looking at Ji An in his arms.
Ji An was a little angry. They were obviously the same person, and he could still talk and move, but Gu Jinsheng refused to look at him and only wanted the one in his arms.
Ji Anzhou came up and insisted that Gu Jinsheng drink the spiritual spring water in his hand. When Gu Jinsheng refused, he poured it into Gu Jinsheng's mouth.
It seemed as if Ji An had really drunk a lot of it, and he laughed happily.
After laughing a few times, Ji An got angry again.
He fed Gu Jinsheng so much magical spiritual spring water, but Gu Jinsheng didn't know how to thank him. He even held the wooden man Ji An in his arms and refused to look at him.
Ji An felt wronged, but he was not one to be wronged, even if the person who wronged him was himself.
Ji An reached out to grab the wooden man Ji An in Gu Jinsheng's arms, but Ji An found that Gu Jinsheng was very strong and he couldn't snatch it away at all.
Ji An was angry, so he bit Gu Jinsheng's arm hard, leaving a very deep tooth mark.
Looking at the neat teeth marks, Ji An was extremely satisfied and smiled proudly at Gu Jinsheng.
But even so, Gu Jinsheng still refused to look at him.
That’s too much!
Ji An is very angry and the consequences are serious!
Ji An walked back to the spiritual spring water with heavy steps. He scooped up a handful of spiritual spring water. This time, he did not feed the water to Gu Jinsheng, but poured it directly on Gu Jinsheng's head and face.
Strangely enough, such a small handful of spiritual spring water turned into a downpour when poured on Gu Jinsheng.
In the rain, Gu Jinsheng raised his head and called out with bloodshot eyes: "Ji An... Ji An... Ji An..."
Every time Gu Jinsheng called out, the sad voice would ring in Ji An's head, like a small hammer hitting him. Ji An cried out in pain, "I'm going back to that wooden man. Stop calling me, my head hurts."
As soon as Ji An finished speaking, he felt a strong suction force coming from the wooden man, and with a whoosh, Ji An was sucked back into the wooden man's body.
At the same time, the sky above the fire scene was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder, strong winds blew, and dark clouds gathered. The dark clouds were pressing down on the city, as if they were going to destroy the entire city of Jingshi Base.
Wan Xueying and Kong Zhongcheng, who were thousands of miles away from the fire scene, looked grim. Wan Xueying looked at the black clouds rolling in from afar with a solemn look, "Tell everyone to be ready and resist with all your strength. The boss's level 6 wind and lightning abilities may explode at the same time!"
Otherwise, the strange phenomena of wind and thunder would not appear at the same time.
At this moment, Gu Jinsheng's parents Gu Lianyun, Dai Xin and his younger brother Gu Jinlan arrived at the same time.
The Gu family already knew what had happened on the way, and Dai Xin cried uncontrollably.
"Is Jinsheng in front? Let our car drive in. It's just our family's car, we are not afraid." Dai Xin said to Wan Xueying while crying.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Gu." When Wan Xueying saw Dai Xin, she was always elegant and gentle, like a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River in a painting. In fact, Dai Xin was not from the south of the Yangtze River, but she had a unique charm.
At this moment, Dai Xin had lost her elegance, like a mother animal that had lost her cub.
"Aunt Gu, look at the sky over there, it's covered with thunder and lightning, and it looks like it's going to rain soon. But when we left, it was still clear. These clouds and thunder appeared suddenly. I suspect that it's not a natural weather phenomenon, but a phenomenon caused by the impending self-detonation of Commander Gu's dual-system supernatural powers!"
Almost everyone had this suspicion. "So, I'm sorry, Aunt Gu, I can't let you go. You may not even see Commander Gu, and be blown to ashes by his self-detonating crystal core."
Gu Lianyun hugged Dai Xin and kissed the top of his head. There was pain in Gu Lianyun's eyes, but he still wanted to comfort his wife: "Wife, you can't just think about Jinsheng. It's not fair that you still have me and Jinlan. We are also your family."
Gu Jinlan didn't really want to compete for favor, he just wanted to persuade Dai Xin, "Mom, you still have me. You can't live only for your brother."
Dai Xin stopped clamoring to go in. She covered her mouth and cried bitterly, "Since Jin Sheng came back from the army, he seems to have become a different person. He was such a naughty kid who dared to run away from home when he was young, but after he came back, he turned into a serious, cold robot."
"At that time, I was worried, can such a man find a wife?" Dai Xin cried and said, "It is true. Jin Sheng has really become a robot. He seems to have no emotions and only knows how to work. He is not interested in the opposite sex or the same sex."
"When the end of the world came, Jin Sheng became even colder. They nicknamed him "The Human Killing Weapon" in private. I heard all of this and it made me sad." Dai Xin covered his chest. "Later, I thought this child was destined to live like this for the rest of his life. Until he died on that mission, he suddenly came home and asked us to help him switch residences."
"He wanted us to move to his villa, but when he moved to this small house, I knew he might have fallen in love with someone. Sure enough, I met Ji An."
Tears fell from Gu Lianyun's eyes unconsciously. He did not interrupt because he knew Dai Xin did not need him to speak. She just wanted someone to listen.
Gu Lianyun held Dai Xin in one hand and raised the other hand. A green supernatural power shot out from his hand and joined the supernatural power protection wall.
Gu Jinlan silently released his special powers, his eyes fixed on the lightning and thunder in the distance. He seemed to see the symbolic thunder dragon of his elder brother Gu Jinsheng through the thick clouds.
Only Gu Jinsheng could create such a cool and stylish thunder dragon.
At this time, Dai Xin also released his special powers to add strength to the protective wall.
But she was still stuck in memories, “When I first saw Ji An, I was stunned by him, that kid was really pretty, no wonder Jin Sheng fell in love with him.
Although there was some fatigue and world-weariness in the child's eyes at that time, I didn't care, thinking that he was not living a happy life in the last days.
Later I realized how good that child was and why Jin Sheng liked him so much."
"I was very happy at that time, thinking that Jinsheng had finally found a life partner that matched her. But how happy I was then is how painful I am now. I would rather Jinsheng never meet him in her life, and I would rather Jinsheng not be so affectionate."
"Wife, stop talking." Gu Lianyun cried silently, feeling the same pain. "They are about to go on a journey together, and I think they don't want to hear your objection on the way to the underworld. Now that things have come to this, you should just bless them."
Dai Xin's ability could no longer be maintained and broke. She covered her face with her hands and burst into tears, "Jinsheng, I wish you happiness, peace and joy in the future, no longer suffering from the end of the world, and holding hands with the one you love, forever and ever!"
"Boom, boom!" As if in response to Dai Xin's words, the sound of thunder became more and more shrill.
Kong Zhongcheng was watching the thunderclouds rolling in the sky. If the crystal core exploded, the fire and tornado would reduce the Jingshi base to ashes in an instant.
"This campaign can only succeed and cannot fail, otherwise the entire Jing City base may cease to exist!"
"Yes, only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!" Almost all the psychics participating in this joint resistance shouted in unison.
Wan Xueying couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If the Jingshi base can survive this time safely, it will definitely survive the disaster and have good fortune in the future. Otherwise, there will be no otherwise!"
As if in response to Wan Xueying's words, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, tearing a hole in the entire sky.
The water from the Milky Way above the nine heavens seemed to leak out from this hole, and heavy rain poured down, coming suddenly and without warning.
The psychics below who were ready to die were stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, and overwhelming cheers resounded through the sky!
Wan Xueying finally had a little smile in her eyes, "The Jing City Base shouldn't be destroyed!"
Such rootless water is the natural nemesis of Gu Jinsheng's thunder and fire. Such heavy rain is enough to extinguish the fire released by Gu Jinsheng. Without the blessing of fire, the risk of self-detonation of Gu Jinsheng's superpower crystal core is reduced by 30%!
"Hmm..." A whimpering sound so faint that it was completely covered by the loud thunder sounded in Gu Jinsheng's ears. It was obviously a sound so small that one should not be able to hear it if one listened carefully, but in Gu Jinsheng's mind it was louder than the thunder in the sky.
Gu Jinsheng looked up suddenly and saw the lifeless person in his arms, now frowning slightly and showing a look of pain.
Gu Jinsheng could hardly believe his eyes. He stretched out his trembling fingers to feel Ji An's breath and felt the faint but real breath.
Gu Jinsheng touched the carotid artery on Ji An's neck with trembling fingers, and it was beating slightly as well.
"Ji An, Ji An..." Gu Jinsheng, who had not shed a tear no matter how sadly he screamed just now, now burst into tears.
A thousand meters away, everyone was holding their breath. Dai Xin was crying uncontrollably and was held in the arms of Gu Lianyun and Gu Jinlan.
"Look, what's in the rain?" Kong Zhongcheng suddenly pointed at the rain in front and shouted.
The heavy rain formed a curtain of water, and people could hardly see the situation with their eyes open.
But as the figure in the rain got closer and closer, everyone could see clearly who was walking out with someone in his arms?
"Boss!"
"Jin Sheng!"
"Commander Gu!"
"Mr. Ji!"
"Researcher Ji!"
"Brother Ji An!"
The last voice was called by Xiao Shitou. Various names were heard, but they were all directed at those two people.
Gu Jinsheng and Ji An!
Dai Xin pushed his youngest son away and ran out, "Jinsheng, Jinsheng!"
Gu Jinsheng seemed to have regained his consciousness at this time. He gave Dai Xin a weak but happy smile, "Mom, Ji An is awake!"
Dai Xin did not feel happy about Gu Jinsheng's words. Instead, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end and he felt a chill.
Gu Jinsheng did not self-destruct his superpower crystal core, but that was not because he suddenly woke up at the critical moment, but because he went crazy due to the huge stimulation!
Dai Xin covered her mouth, but still couldn't help but let out a sob.
Gu Jinsheng didn't seem to notice Dai Xin's abnormality. He held the person in his arms and stumbled through the crowd, "Where's Xiang Tongxin? Come and help me check Ji An."
Xiang Tongxin who was named was the person who had repaired Ji An's body before. No one knew Ji An's condition better than her. Ji An was already dead!
Wan Xueying gently pushed Tong Xin and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you. You just need to follow the boss's words and tell him that Ji An is alive.
The Jing City base can withstand a mad commander-in-chief, but it cannot withstand the self-detonation of a level 6 psychic with both wind and lightning abilities. Do you understand?"
"Understand, I understand." Xiang Tongxin said in a crying voice.
"Boss, Xiang Tongxin is here, please leave Ji An to her for treatment." Wan Xueying brought Xiang Tongxin over, trying to speak in a normal tone so as not to irritate Gu Jinsheng's nerves.
Gu Jinsheng saw Xiang Tongxin smiling rarely, and he could actually see joy in her eyes and face.
This was not Gu Jinsheng at all. Their boss was a humanoid killing machine. Machines had no emotions, so how could they have human expressions? So this boss who smiled at her must have gone crazy. Xiang Tongxin was almost 100% sure of it. It was precisely because of this certainty that her soul was so scared that it flew out of her body.
A crazy humanoid killing machine is much more terrifying than an emotionless humanoid killing machine!
Xiang Tongxin resisted the urge to run away and walked slowly to Gu Jinsheng's side. Even though she was 100% sure that Ji An was dead, in order to calm Gu Jinsheng and not stimulate him to go crazy, Xiang Tongxin still put her hand under Ji An's nose again.
Then Xiang Tongxin could no longer hold back and screamed in extreme fear: "Ah! Ah!! Ah!!!"
Wan Xueying was so frightened that she almost used her supernatural power to knock Xiang Tongxin away. She looked at Gu Jinsheng's expression through the rain while covering Xiang Tongxin's mouth.
Wan Xueying whispered in Tong Xin's ear: "I know Ji An is dead, but didn't I ask you to shout it out? What if it upsets the boss..."
Xiang Tongxin's mouth was covered and she couldn't speak. She could only sob. She kept shaking her head, and the fear in her eyes almost burst out.
Wan Xueying finally realized that something was wrong, and she let go of the hand that was covering Xiang Tongxin's mouth.
Xiang Tongxin pointed a trembling finger at Ji An, "Ji, Ji An is dead!"
"What?"
No one expected this, and everyone rushed forward to check on Ji An's condition.
Only Gu Jinsheng emphasized seriously: "It's not a fake corpse, Ji An is not dead, he was just in a state of suspended animation, and now he is alive."
No one listened to Gu Jinsheng's long explanation. Everyone confirmed one thing, that is, Ji An really had a resurrection! No, in Gu Jinsheng's words, he was alive!
