"Look over there," Chen Shu said with a smile, pointing to an exquisitely decorated shop on the street corner. "That's [Little Fish's Shop]. It's full of good stuff. It's run by the leader's second wife. If you want anything in the future, you can just go in and find it. There are over twenty shops like this in Fuxing City."
They walked slowly along the street, Chen Shu constantly introducing Xiao Xia to everything along the way: the rainbow tree that changed colors with the music, the public canteen that served hot meals, the children's welfare home under construction...
Chen Shu's face beamed with a smile as he introduced each item.
His eyes were full of pride.
Xiao Xia mostly listened quietly, occasionally nodding gently.
She would occasionally follow his gaze, her eyes behind the sunglasses revealing no emotion.
Her thinking was still somewhat sluggish, and she didn't feel much about everything Chen Shu introduced.
But seeing the pride and joy on his face, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
Whenever she saw his radiant face, she felt a long-lost sense of peace.
......
On the training ground next to the leader's manor in Fuxing City.
A huge black dog with a big belly was lying on the ground, wagging its tail boredly.
It is enormous; even without its four- or five-meter-long tail, it is still over ten meters long.
Its unusually large belly clearly indicates that it is pregnant.
Not far from it, hundreds of wooden stakes, three to four meters high, have been erected.
Each wooden stake is no more than ten centimeters in diameter.
However, the spacing between each wooden stake exceeds forty centimeters, with the furthest exceeding two meters.
It's like the plum blossom stake formation in a TV drama, but an enhanced version.
A white figure darted swiftly across the wooden stakes at an incredible speed, dazzling the eye.
But her steps were steady on the wooden stakes, no different from those on flat ground.
There were nearly two hundred figures about twenty meters away from the 'plum blossom stake formation' and the giant black dog.
Even in winter, even with snow on the ground, even in places where the snow is more than a meter thick.
Yet these nearly two hundred short figures continued to train frantically on this field.
The majority of the figures in this group were girls, with less than one-fifth being boys.
The oldest was no more than 16 years old, and the youngest was only about 10 years old.
Their faces still looked very young.
But their eyes were extremely sharp and resolute.
This was especially true of the nearly twenty girls who were the leaders, whose faces were covered in knife scars.
Suddenly, the giant black dog sensed something and raised its head to look at the sky.
But it didn't get up; it just wagged its tail even faster.
Soon, a giant golden eagle landed not far from the big black dog.
The enormous wings created a powerful gust of air, kicking up countless dust particles and snowflakes.
The next second, Gan Wei jumped off the giant bird with Lillian.
At this moment, Jiang Yanyan, who was training on the plum blossom stake formation, stopped, stood steadily on the stake, and called out to Gan Wei with a smile, "Gan Mama!"
Gan Wei smiled and said, "You guys are still working so hard, training even in this cold weather."
Jiang Yanyan glanced at the group of people on the training field, jumped directly to Gan Wei's side, and whispered, "Godmother, they did it voluntarily. I didn't force them."
Gan Wei looked at the group of children, especially the fervor in their eyes, and sighed softly.
She understood what Jiang Yanyan meant.
These children are all orphans.
Moreover, they were all children who had suffered greatly after the disaster.
For example, those dozens of children brought back from the Third Revitalization City.
Both boys and girls were subjected to brutal torture by foreigners in the former City of Chosen.
Some children even watched helplessly as their parents were killed by those people.
It left behind extremely deep psychological trauma.
After being rescued and brought here, they gradually returned to normal under the constant brainwashing of Jiang Yanyan, Jiang Shui, and Jiang Huo.
At the same time, in this atmosphere, they also developed an extreme worship of their leader.
Their minds weren't on how to live, but on giving everything for the leader!
Here, 'Train hard and serve the leader' is the daily motto.
Here, nobody cares about age, appearance, or anything like that.
They only care about who trains harder, who is more skilled, and who can contribute more to the leader.
Jiang Yanyan glanced casually at Lillian, then smiled at Gan Wei and said, "Aunt Gan, you've been away for a while now, and we've gained two more evolved beings! We now have seventeen evolved beings here!"
Gan Wei was slightly taken aback.
Two more evolved beings?
It seems like these children have a higher chance of becoming evolved beings than adults?
Is it because the child has greater potential?
Or is it because they eat more meat from advanced evolved beasts?
Gan Wei patted Jiang Yanyan's head and said with a smile, "Not bad. If this continues, it won't be long before the children here will be able to stand on their own and help your godfather."
After speaking, Gan Wei subconsciously glanced at Jiang Shui and Jiang Huo, the few minor evolved beings who were sparring not far away.
They are already very capable.
Especially the twins, ginger water and ginger fire.
Don't let their age of twelve fool you.
If they join forces, they could probably defeat any Level 1 Evolver in the base.
They are even comparable to ordinary level 2 evolvers in the outside world.
Moreover, their fanatical worship of Brother Wu reached an extreme.
Even if Brother Wu asked them to jump into a fire pit, they would do it without hesitation.
In a few years, when these people grow up, they will definitely become a sharp knife in Brother Wu's hand.
And it is the most loyal knife.
Unexpectedly, at that time, Brother Wu casually handed them over to Yan Yan, asking her to persuade them.
But they acquired a group of... suicide soldiers.
It really was an unexpected stroke of luck.
When Jiang Yanyan heard Gan Wei say that she could help her godfather, she immediately beamed with joy and felt very happy.
From the moment her godfather gave her that Snickers bar, he left a deep impression on her heart.
From the moment her godfather adopted her as his goddaughter, she was determined to do everything she could to help him.
She'd do anything to help her godfather!
But her strength alone is limited.
But if everyone here could help my godfather, that would be a different story.
Gan Wei glanced at the giant black dog again and said with a smile, "Xiao Hei's belly is even bigger now. It looks like she'll be giving birth soon."
Jiang Yanyan nodded heavily and said, "The veterinarian came to check and said that given the current situation, she will probably give birth in about a week."
At this point, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The veterinarian looked like he'd seen a ghost. He said, 'How could it be so fast! It usually takes two months for a normal puppy to go from pregnancy to giving birth, but this mutant dog, Xiao Hei, was born in less than a month.'"
Gan Wei smiled and said, "After all, it's a mutant dog, so we can't look at it in the same way as normal people. Besides, Xiao Hei's diet is too good every day, and it's full of energy, so it's understandable."
