"Hey, I didn't offend you, did I? Why are you looking at me like that?" Guan Nianshan shrugged. "I just happened to be passing by while selling something. Who knew I'd be attacked like that?"
"Hmph, who knows if you're an undercover agent sent by the New World, here to gather information since we're on the front lines." Gu Changge rolled her eyes. "Just be thankful you don't stab us in the back."
"Do I look like an idiot to you?" Guan Nianshan pointed at himself, looking somewhat innocent. "If I were stabbed in the back, wouldn't it be obvious that I was stabbed in the morning? I'd be dead by the afternoon."
This girl was so generous before, giving him supplies and connections. Why is she acting like she's been hit by a firecracker today, picking a fight with him?
Guan Nianshan and Gu Changge weren't exactly close, but they were still good friends.
Gu Changge is generous and doesn't fuss over details. Guan Nianshan is a businessman who likes straightforward and righteous people. Guan Nianshan can bring good things, and Gu Changge can give him money and favors. The two get along quite well.
today……
Guan Nianshan scratched his head, completely baffled.
"Changge, say less." Qin Jin frowned: "What memories have you regained?"
"Tsk, Uncle Qin, come with me." Gu Changge gritted her teeth and pulled Qin Jin aside: "Uncle Qin, do you trust me?"
"Of course," Qin Jin replied without hesitation.
"Uncle, let's go. Let's just go far away from here." Gu Changge said seriously, "The battle with the new world is never-ending. We're all cannon fodder. We won't survive no matter what."
"What did you say?" The amount of information was too much for Qin Jin to process.
"I said we're all cannon fodder. Shi Yin planned this all along, and we're just her stepping stones." Gu Changge tried to lower her voice and not seem too agitated: "Uncle Qin, Shi Yin is not a good person! She's greedy, she's the wolf of the seven deadly sins!"
"How is this possible?" Although Qin Jin believed in Gu Changge, he couldn't accept such explosive news in an instant.
"To tell you the truth, Uncle Qin, I have retained memories of ten rebirths, fragmented and incomplete. There must have been even more rebirths mixed in among these ten, and we died every time!" Gu Changge roared in a low voice, "Moreover, every time it was because of Shi Yin who died."
"She is a jinx; disaster strikes wherever she goes, and those who get close to her are also affected. But she uses this to her advantage, making us sacrifice ourselves to preserve her power."
"Haven't you noticed? She's been perfectly fine the whole time. Humanity's power is getting weaker and weaker. Mr. Agareth is dead, Ye Yuansong is dead... Everyone will die!"
“We’re all cannon fodder, let’s not rush to our deaths!” Gu Changge said, her eyes even a little red: “Uncle Qin, I like you, and you like me too, right? Let’s go, let’s leave now while there’s still time.”
Qin Jin: "..."
Silence fell.
Perhaps Gu Changge's words contained too much information, or perhaps Qin Jin was also judging how much of what he said was true and how much was just Gu Changge's guess.
But after a long time, Qin Jin let out a long sigh.
"Changge, I am a soldier."
Gu Changge heard Qin Jin's voice.
"But you're just a sacrifice!" Gu Changge couldn't help but grab Qin Jin's collar: "Even without you, there will be someone else, and Shi Yin will find someone else. Do you really have to jump into Shi Yin's trap?"
"Changge, I believe you must have regained the memories of other reincarnations, but for me, I have only been reborn once." Qin Jin's voice was calm and firm: "I have always regretted that when everyone was protecting their country, I hid in the rear until the country fell apart."
"Changge, I love you... but I'm sorry." I also love my country.
Qin Jin lowered his head, his nails digging into his flesh, but he forced himself to look Gu Changge in the eye.
"Moreover, the sacrifice was voluntary. I approached Shi Yin, hoping she would sacrifice me," Qin Jin said.
"Why?" Gu Changge asked incredulously, "Why, Uncle Qin? You loved me in our past life, but I only found out when you died. I haven't even had a chance to tell you in this life!"
"I believe in Shi Yin, I believe she will lead us to victory, so I think it's okay to talk about it after the apocalypse!" Gu Changge felt a little overwhelmed: "But it's all fake now. If we don't survive the apocalypse, we won't live either. Why should we!"
Gu Changge admitted that she was wrong; she had made the mistake that villains often make: being blinded by greed.
In her first life, she didn't properly assess Shi Yin's strength before trying to forcibly keep him. If she couldn't keep him, she would try to steal his things, which is why she killed Qin Jin. Only after knowing that Shi Yin had gone too far and that Qin Jin died on his sickbed did Gu Changge realize Qin Jin's long-buried thoughts.
So in this life, although Gu Changge was unwilling when Shi Yin recruited her, she still obediently listened to her. She knew that Shi Yin was stronger than her, and she did make a mistake and felt a little ashamed.
But now, Gu Changge remembered that in all these lifetimes, they had been used and sacrificed by Shi Yin each time, and had never seen the sun after the apocalypse.
Will the apocalypse pass?
We won't survive the apocalypse!
"Changge, even without the apocalypse, it would have been difficult for us to be together. I am your uncle." Qin Jin gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Gu Changge's eyes.
“Not by blood!” Gu Changge retorted.
“Then I’m your uncle too.” Qin Jin smiled. “But I was really happy when you said you liked me. In this chaotic world, no one cares whether we’re in chaos or not.”
As he spoke, Qin Jin stepped forward and hugged Gu Changge.
Qin Jin's demeanor remained calm and resolute; once he set his mind on something, he forged ahead without hesitation, always composed and considerate of her needs.
"How long have you liked me?" Gu Changge asked sullenly.
"I remember the first time I met you was in junior high school," Qin Jin recalled. "At that time, I felt like I wasn't human, that I could actually like a minor."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Gu Changge's eyes widened. "I jokingly asked you to be with me, and you rejected me!"
Heaven knows how attractive Qin Jin, an upright soldier, was among all those shady relatives. Being in the prime of youth and full of youthful ignorance, and with Gu Changge being so willful and reckless, she just went for it.
As a result, Qin Jin shattered this dream, so much so that Gu Changge didn't dare to talk about it for a long time afterward.
So, it was a mutual crush?
"That's not fair to you. If the difference in strength is too great, then voluntarily is considered forced. Even if you were voluntary, I would still be taking advantage of you. At that time, you were too weak and had no choice. I shouldn't have acted like an experienced hunter and lured a newborn lamb to voluntarily."
