Chapter 1: What other surprises are these people hiding?
After helping Tang Xinying purify a group of wounded soldiers, Qi An went home and lay down in bed.
She slept for a whole day and night, and only slowly got up when the morning sun had warmed her blankets.
She first went to the military hospital to see the wounded.
Although the attacks on the base by the Fallen Insects have continued unabated over the past two days, they have been sporadic and insignificant, giving humanity time to heal and strengthen itself, and easing the pressure on the hospital somewhat.
Qin Tianshuo, who was the most seriously injured, and Yan Xukuan from the Martial God Team, are both able to get out of bed. Qin Tianshuo's self-healing enhancement is higher, and he can now eat and sleep well. He has been moved to a regular ward.
However, when Qi An saw him in the small garden, it wasn't You Zi pushing the wheelchair, but Chen Yuezhou!
In May, the flowerbeds are lush and verdant, and a wisteria vine is beginning to bud.
The two stood and sat on a bench beside the wisteria trellis, whispering to each other. The scene...
Very strange!
Qi An was genuinely puzzled as to when the two had become so close.
However, when she appeared, their conversation was almost over. Qin Tianshuo's still pale face was furrowed with brows, as if he was hesitant, but then he nodded emphatically.
Chen Yuezhou looked up and saw Qi An behind the glass door. His sharp eyes softened instantly.
However, after he pushed Qin Tianshuo through the door, what he said to Qi An was somewhat joking:
"Is Dr. Qi here to treat us to a meal?"
Qi An put away his doubts and spread his hands: "No restaurants are open now."
Otherwise, Lin Jiaran would have driven her crazy long ago.
"We provide our own ingredients, we're just using the kitchen, and there are no restaurants catering to us?" Chen Yuezhou asked.
Qi An raised an eyebrow, puzzled once again.
“There are sheep, and yesterday more than a dozen of them went hunting. Gu Liansheng led the way, and they came back this morning with a cart full of wild boars and rabbits.” Qin Tianshuo squinted and imagined the aroma of stewed pork knuckle.
But I actually felt nauseous!
Qin Tianshuo smacked his lips, savoring the bland, even slightly bitter, taste. He was dismayed to think that even after five days in the hospital, he was still not recovered enough to eat meat!
He deserved the first-class merit award!
Upon hearing this, Qi An's stomach, which had been consuming compressed rations for half a month, did indeed cheer for a moment, but he immediately thought:
"Did they bring Tang Long?"
"I brought it." Chen Yuezhou nodded.
Otherwise, no one could be so familiar with the distribution of edible organisms in the Northwest region.
Hunting? Forget about it!
Qi An immediately took out his phone and asked Tang Long about his status in the team group chat.
Tang Long didn't reply. Zhuang Xiao, who usually chats in the group, sent a laughing emoji: "Probably 'dead'. He's the kind of person who won't come back to life in a day and a night."
Qi An glared at Chen Yuezhou, who then touched his nose.
"Since no one is cooking, let's reschedule the get-together for another day," Qi An said.
Besides Tang Long, the best cook she knew was You Zi, but You Zi also worked very hard.
But I don't know if I'll be able to eat there again, because I don't know when I'll be able to leave for the new base since I've already submitted my application.
But Chen Yuezhou said, "I can do it."
Qi An turned around, stunned.
This astonishment lasted until evening, because when evening came, the restaurant next to the research building where they had eaten mutton hotpot together was indeed filled with six tables of food!
Although the dishes were a bit monotonous and there were basically no vegetarian options, each table still managed to get 5 or 6 dishes. The braised pork knuckle and braised pork ribs were so delicious that they could make your tongue tingle!
Qi An even saw passersby on the street outside the window stopping to look up.
They ate on the second floor of the restaurant again, but this time there were more people, so they didn't go into a private room and just ate in the main hall.
The seriously wounded soldiers, who had recovered enough to be feasted on, and all the remaining members of the action team went upstairs in small groups and took their seats, pushing and shoving each other.
Chen Yuezhou also took off his apron... Qi An really never expected to see Chen Yuezhou wearing a small blue flower apron in his lifetime!
Perhaps it was because the contrast between the soft, gentle fabric and the overly upright body that concealed terrifying power was too stark and the impact too strong that Qi An felt a slight burning sensation on his cheeks and a sense of unease after just one glance.
Chen Yuezhou took off his apron, smiled at the somewhat dazed girl, and waited for Qi An to go upstairs first before following her upstairs and sitting down at the main table.
Chen Xi was also at this table. The young man immediately spotted Qi An, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, as he went upstairs in front of Chen Yuezhou. His expression darkened.
Lin Jiaran was extremely excited. She looked around and when she saw Qi An, she immediately slapped the stool next to her.
Qi An readily agreed and sat down between Lin Jiaran and Yu Shuang.
As soon as Yu Shuang sat down, Qi An exclaimed in surprise, "The Commander actually has this skill! It's no less than Tang Long's!"
Xu Le glanced at Chen Yuezhou, and after receiving permission, chuckled: "The commander's special ability is called 'motor memory,' which means that the muscles can remember all the movements that the eyes see!"
So our commander can not only cook, but also sew clothes, repair cars, carve, and do all the competitive sports that can be found in old records before the apocalypse.
He can learn anything that requires muscle coordination in just one try!
Qi An suddenly realized, and then exclaimed in amazement!
No, this ability is way too useful!
Furthermore, Chen Yuezhou and Chen Xi's superpowers are indeed different. Apart from the same "super self-healing", they also have the same god-level "quiet" and "motor memory".
This made Qi An even understand for a moment why some people were determined to clone Chen Yuezhou.
But it only lasted for a moment.
The hall erupted in commotion upon hearing the news. The members of the Martial God Team who knew about it were extremely proud, while the members of other teams who were unaware of it were filled with surprise and envy.
Chen Yuezhou raised his hand to suppress the commotion, his smile fading as he calmly said:
"Before we pick up our chopsticks, let's observe three minutes of silence for our fallen comrades."
Upon hearing this, the entire hall immediately fell silent.
The power went out just as the meal was being prepared. The last rays of the setting sun were fading, and a somber, dark blue enveloped the world. In the drowsy hall, all the soldiers closed their eyes at the same time.
This moment of tranquility seemed to overlap with countless violent, noisy, and desperate moments on the battlefield.
Qi An seemed to have figured out a little why he liked the "Guardian" medal.
At this moment, everyone was reminiscing, shedding tears, feeling lingering fear, and reminiscing. In the dimly lit hall at the cusp of day and night, the torrent of emotions tightly connected her with everyone else.
She is undeniably one of them, a needed and indispensable part of this collaborative coexistence!
Lin Jiaran probably felt the same way; when they opened their eyes, the two girls looked at each other simultaneously.
Chen Xi, however, did not seem to have such an understanding. When she opened her eyes, she simply turned her gaze to Qi An as always.
After a three-minute moment of silence, and another seven minutes to compose ourselves, everyone lit candles to light up the hall, and then we began to eat!
