On the fifth day at the base, Yu Wei finally reappeared. This time, she had changed into the same protective suit worn by the base's official personnel. White, thick and sturdy, it gave her an indescribable sense of security. Ye Ming also arrived with her. Their arrival was like a warm current, instantly warming the hearts of everyone at the base.
The moment Ye Ming saw Xiao Yi, he was so excited that he could hardly express it in words. He held Xiao Yi's hand tightly, tears of gratitude gleaming in his eyes. If Xiao Yi hadn't left those precious supplies, they would probably have been unable to survive in this cruel world. Not to mention, Xiao Yi also taught them how to deal with those terrifying white-haired monsters, which gave them a better chance of survival when facing those monsters.
"Xiao Yi, you are our savior!" Ye Ming said with emotion, his voice filled with deep respect and gratitude.
Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head. He said, "We are all family, and we should help each other. As long as everyone can survive safely, I will be satisfied."
Yu Wei stood aside, quietly observing the interaction between the two. A complex emotion flashed through her eyes: envy, emotion, and a hint of self-blame. She understood that she still had a lot to learn and grow in this base.
In the days that followed, Yu Wei began to participate more actively in the base's various tasks. No longer a girl who only studied viruses in the lab, she became a truly independent warrior. She led the team deep into the forest, searching for more supplies and resources. With her actions, she proved her worth and ability.
Ye Ming also gradually grew up in this process. He was no longer the boy who only relied on others, but became a brave, independent, and responsible man. He led the team to fight against those white-haired monsters and protect the safety of the base.
Throughout this process, Xiao Yi has been silently supporting them. He not only provides them with technical guidance, but also gives them encouragement and support spiritually. His presence is like a beacon, guiding them in the direction of progress.
As time went by, the base grew stronger and stronger, and people's lives began to return to normal, as if the world that was once full of fear and despair had long since left them.
However, they all know that the world is still full of unknowns and dangers. They must always remain vigilant and ready to respond to any challenges that may arise. But they also believe that as long as they unite as one, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
In this world full of challenges and hope, they will continue to move forward for survival and for the future. And their stories will continue to be passed down in this world and become an eternal legend.
Finally, as night fell and the stars filled the earth, they gathered around the campfire, sharing their stories and dreams. Their faces were filled with smiles of happiness and satisfaction, as if, in that moment, all difficulties and challenges seemed insignificant. They knew that as long as they remained together, nothing could defeat them. This was their faith, and this was their strength.
In this vibrant and energetic base, Yu Wei's reappearance was like a warm breeze, dispelling the days' gloom. She was fully armed, clad in protective gear similar to those worn by the base's personnel, like a courageous warrior charging forward. Ye Ming, accompanying her, was filled with excitement, his eyes gleaming with anticipation and admiration.
Yu Wei, standing aside, watched the interaction between the two, and mixed emotions welled up in her heart. She envied the deep friendship between Ye Ming and Xiao Yi, and was proud of their growth. At the same time, she felt guilty for her selfishness. She knew that she should be like Xiao Yi, thinking about the overall situation instead of just considering her own feelings.
So, when Yu Wei finally had the chance to be alone with Xiao Yi, she mustered up the courage to speak her mind: "Xiao Yi, I..." She paused, as if looking for the right words, "Am I selfish? It was me who suggested leaving with you, but now I want to stay."
Xiao Yi looked at Yu Wei, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He gently rubbed her head and smiled, "Weiwei, you are not selfish. Everyone's pursuit is different, and I naturally respect you. Your family is here, your friends are here too, it's normal for you to stay."
He paused and continued, "Furthermore, your talents and abilities can be better utilized here. You know, your research is very important to the entire base. If you stay, you will not only help more people, but also make your value more apparent."
Yu Wei listened to Xiao Yi's words, and the guilt and self-blame in her heart gradually dissipated. She raised her head, looked into Xiao Yi's eyes, and said firmly: "Thank you, Xiao Yi. I understand. I will continue to work hard here, for the base and for myself."
The two smiled at each other, their hearts meeting at that moment. They both knew that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead might be, as long as they walked hand in hand, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and move towards a better future.
Yu Wei sniffed and said in a somewhat coquettish tone, "Do you want to go meet my father? He really wants to see you." When she said this, her eyes flashed with anticipation and nervousness, as if she was afraid that Xiao Yi would reject the proposal.
Xiao Yi was slightly taken aback. He had not expected Yu Wei to make such a direct request. He looked down at the girl in his arms. Her face was filled with anticipation and longing, which made him feel distressed. He understood that Yu Wei's father meant a lot to her. To be recognized by him would undoubtedly be a huge boost to their relationship.
