Recovery after collapse
"What a poor little thing."
The cold muzzle of a gun was pressed against Li Qi's waist. When she opened her eyes, she saw only a black spear and a blurry face of a woman.
Li Qi remembered that it was also a snowy day, and her fate changed completely from then on.
She went from a homeless waif to a secret killer in the organization.
But this time the expected death did not come, and she was pulled into a warm embrace.
This time, the person standing in front of her was not the cold-blooded killer, but Jiang Lin.
Li Qi smiled self-deprecatingly. She had completely lost.
At Jiang Lin's signal, Wen Yan used his special ability, and the temperature around him rose again. Qu Mo also opened his eyes and saw Li Qi collapsed in Jiang Lin's arms.
"Please don't hurt her." He knelt on the ground and took a few steps forward.
Jiang Lin frowned and tried to pull him up from the ground, but he had no extra hands: "Which eye of yours saw that I was going to kill her."
Wen Yan stepped forward and pulled Qu Mo up from the ground.
"It, why did it go out?" Qu Mo then realized that the source of warmth had changed from the burning branches of the small bud to the flame in Wen Yan's hand.
Jiang Lin looked at the branch next to him with a complicated expression.
The small branch she inserted into the hole of the sacred tree actually began to grow infinitely after absorbing the water from her supernatural power, but at the last moment it was about to devour the sacred tree.
She entered the spiritual world of the sacred tree.
"Our world is too crowded. Don't you want it to return to its most primitive state?" Shenmu said to her.
"I was originally created by Him, but now, after giving me life and power, He is cruelly taking it back. I am about to die, and I hope you can kill Him."
"If you can't do it, why do you think I can do it? And why should I help you?"
"Humph, He thought He could take back what He created with His own hands, but He didn't know that I would use my own life to give Him the most painful blow."
Shenmu looked at Jiang Lin and said, "Believe me, if I kill Him, the world will return to normal."
"I know that there is a higher-dimensional power within you helping you. Absorbing its power will only benefit that thing within you."
"Is this what 110 is like?" Jiang Lin couldn't tell whether Shenmu's tone was true or not.
110 was silent for a while. It almost knew that it was a ray of the world's consciousness, but it didn't know what went wrong, and this ray of world consciousness actually caused the collapse of this world.
"It's such a host. I can indeed absorb Him."
"But once I'm done absorbing it, I'll have no reason to stay in this world. This world will reject me, and I have enough energy to escape."
Jiang Lin realized that he had known 110 for a long time, and it had become silent since leaving the first base.
Now that I think about it, it had almost absorbed all of its energy by then, so it tried to remain silent as much as possible to avoid being discovered by the world.
Shenmu: "What's wrong, Jiang Lin? Are you reluctant to leave that high-dimensional creature? After all, if you leave it, the mysterious powers in you will disappear."
"You can only be an ordinary person with powerful superpowers."
"Can't bear to see all this disappear?"
"Don't try to guess what I am thinking. I am not you. I just can't bear to leave my friends." This was the first time she used the word "friend" to describe 110.
"Just do as you say." Jiang Lin sighed. Ever since she accidentally obtained 110, she knew it couldn't stay with her forever.
But I didn't expect this moment to come so soon.
Just as the sacred tree said, the small branches grew bigger and bigger, and a golden ball of light began to slowly devour the sacred tree, but at the last moment, a small green energy ball suddenly exploded.
The golden light was instantly contaminated by green, and 110 appeared at this time, quickly absorbing the energy spreading in the air.
Jiang Lin saw its true form for the first time, which was a fluffy golden ball.
It flew into Jiang Lin's arms and said, "I'm lucky to meet you. I hope you can boldly live the life you really want in the future."
110 didn't have time to say anything more as it quickly left this world and spots of light began to descend from the sky.
The snow stopped, the dead trees began to grow new branches, and those who had been mutated began to restore their human bodies.
A tear fell from Jiang Lin's eyes. She had never felt the disconnection from the system more clearly than at this moment. Those scattered memories emerged in her mind.
"Go to that cave." But she had no time to be sad.
Xiaoya's other stronghold should be right next to Li Qi. After this one is destroyed, there should be nothing to fear over there.
So when Jiang Lin rushed here, he saw this scene.
"Qi Qi." Xiao Kui ran towards them, but under the influence of the world, as soon as it jumped into Li Qi's arms, it turned into a real sunflower.
"Hello, you're awake." Jiang Lin didn't know how to face Li Qi in his arms.
Logically speaking, she has killed people, but if the mutants were to turn back into humans, she would have killed quite a few people as well.
"Stop pretending to be dead." Qu Mo had already woken up, so there was no reason for Li Qi to still have his eyes closed.
Her eyelashes trembled a few times and Li Qi opened her eyes.
"Are you here to save me?"
Jiang Lin's breath was caught in her throat because the innocent and somewhat transparent eyes in front of her were nothing like the Li Qi she knew.
"You don't recognize me?" Jiang Lin couldn't believe it and pulled Qu Mo to his side: "What about this one, do you still recognize him?"
Li Qi shook his head: "Has the snow stopped? Why is it so warm? Am I still alive?"
Jiang Lin and Wen Yan looked at each other, wondering whether Li Qi was pretending or had really lost his memory.
Qu Mo hugged her and burst into tears. Others might not recognize her, but he would never forget her. This was the original Li Qi.
Wen Yan shook his head. During the period when the world was collapsing, it was difficult to determine what was right or wrong.
Jiang Lin wanted to let go and leave, but Li Qi grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly: "Don't leave me, I'm very capable."
She swallowed her saliva. She was really not used to the current Li Qi.
Jiang Lin had no choice but to take them back to City B. The person Li Qi trusted most now was Jiang Lin, whom he had just woken up to see, and the half-dead sunflower in her arms.
Jiang Lin found her a flowerpot filled with soil and asked Li Qi to plant the sunflower in it.
The people in City B were still confused. The normality of this world made them a little scared. It was not until Jiang Lin came back that they felt like they had found their backbone.
Under her command, Base A was back on track. Thinking of the subsequent troubles, Jiang Lin's brows could not relax for a moment.
Wen Yan walked into her office with a cup of hot tea.
"Are you still worried?" He walked to Jiang Lin's side, but saw the resignation letter on the table.
"I no longer have those special abilities. I should choose someone more suitable to lead everyone into a new era."
Wen Yan put the teacup aside and twisted Jiang Lin's shoulders, forcing her to look him in the eye. "You are the backbone of everyone. No matter what you become, whether you are the omnipotent Jiang Lin or not, everyone will trust you as before."
"And you are worthy of their trust."
Jiang Lin lowered his head: "What about you?"
"Me?" Wen Yan didn't react for a moment.
He was stuck for a moment, then suddenly started laughing: "I have always been your most loyal believer."
He knelt on one knee beside Jiang Lin's legs and kissed the back of her hand as if he was kissing the most precious treasure in the world.
Jiang Lin withdrew his hand somewhat unnaturally: "You go out first, I have to work."
The changes in the world are in everyone's eyes.
Everyone's mood is unprecedentedly high, all affairs are reviving, and Jiang Lin must begin to learn to be a leader of a peaceful world.
Song Zhian became a frequent visitor to Base A because no one knew better than her how to lead a group of people in a peaceful world.
At this moment, she stood by the window: "I never thought that there would be a day when you would learn from me."
Song Zhian took a sip of coffee. Jiang Lin was making rapid progress, and she already had a very good foundation of trust, so everything was back on track.
Except Li Qi.
In her memory, Jiang Lin replaced the woman who changed her on the snowy day.
In Li Qi's eyes, Jiang Lin was the one who saved her, so she became Jiang Lin's most clingy little follower.
Qu Mo is an additional follower.
These two people annoyed her a lot, but Li Qi had lost her previous memory. According to Qu Mo, his boss had returned to the turning point of her life.
This time she was not taken to the cold devil's den, but stayed in the warm society.
So he was very grateful to Jiang Lin and was also teaching Li Qi how to integrate with this world.
But no one told her about those unbearable memories.
Xu Anan's coordination skills were a great help to Jiang Lin during this peaceful time. If it weren't for her help, things would have been even more chaotic.
Tang Xiaoyan became a real doctor, Zhong Xin got rid of his mutant identity and stood by his lover again.
Sheng Wei formed the first army in peacetime.
Chen Xu has been very busy recently. He took Song Si to notify as many people as possible who were still on the seabed, but many of them had lost contact, so he drove a submarine to search the sea for possible life.
The affairs of Base B fell on Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin secretly cursed the hateful Chen Xu every night, so Wen Yan was sent to Base B to take over this mess.
Cui Yawen continued her favorite research, and the flora and fauna of Base A reached an unprecedented prosperity.
As for those mutants who were sleeping in the southern base, they survived by their own efforts, but only Chen Guanghai froze to death in that cold winter.
Those bad memories slowly faded from everyone's mind.
A new tomorrow is born every day.
When the first new human life was born in Base A, Jiang Lin finally felt that the world had truly become a better place.
The baby was so small and fragile that Jiang Lin didn't dare to take her from her parents.
She and Wen Yan walked hand in hand under the trees on both sides, and a flower fell into her hair.
The two smiled at each other.
That’s great, everything is just right.
