Chapter 26 Extra

1.

"The tenth year of the end of the world is the most important node in the end of the world for mankind. This is the key point. Every year, no matter what major you choose, you must take the exam."

An old professor was speaking at the podium about modern human history, while the students below were taking notes.

The students in this class were very active, after all, this is their favorite period of history.

"Xiaohua and Shenyuan met in this year!" a student whispered to his deskmate.

"How did you learn that? It's clearly a reunion!"

The old professor on the stage laughed and waited for the students to finish their discussion before she continued her explanation.

"Since this year, the nine human bases have developed rapidly. Although the apocalypse is still going on and there are always very bad and extreme weather, humans have already developed complete countermeasures and are working hard to save this planet."

"After repeated natural disasters, humans have even gained the ability to protect most of the world's creatures, even the deformed ones."

"We have restored the glory of humanity."

As for those mutants, those with a bit of intelligence know that they have to make deals with humans to maintain their own survival. The others basically have to live by the wishes of humans.

"Okay, now that everyone knows what's going on, let's focus on self-study..."

"Professor Mo, why don't you tell us what happened back then?"

Mo Cheng, who is already three hundred years old and has long since retired from the research institute and the Human Alliance decision-making group, never tires of telling this story over and over again, year after year.

After class, she packed up her things and left the school. Then, after walking through a few streets and turning a corner, a huge botanical garden appeared before her.

Ten years after the apocalypse, the development of the Seventh Base surpassed the previous six bases. Its original site has now become the central city area, mainly composed of various research institutes and colleges.

This botanical garden is the largest green space in the central city.

"Sister Mo." Lin Ling was lying in front of the door of the cabin in the botanical garden, basking in the sun. When she saw Mo Cheng coming, she greeted her with a smile.

Mo Cheng looked at the beautiful Xiaohua who had remained the same for hundreds of years and found it a little funny. She joked, "Looking at Xiaohua's appearance, you can even call me grandma."

Lin Ling snorted and said unhappily, "Then let's divide it up."

"Is Deep Abyss not here today?"

When Xiaohua mentioned this, he felt unhappy and complained to the former director of the institute, "Those people in the institute asked him to work overtime again. It's really annoying."

"Wait another two years, and then we'll change jobs."

Before this, Xiaohua had opened a cake shop, and Shenyuan even went to learn how to make cakes for the shop. However, every time a customer came, the cake had almost been eaten by Xiaohua.

Xiaohua felt that this was not a good idea, so after two years the cake shop closed down.

Then, Xiaohua took Shenyuan to open a flower shop.

Every day, Xiaohua would change back to his original form and blend in with a bunch of ordinary flowers and plants, waiting for the abyss to open in the morning so that he could be found among the flowers and plants.

But soon, the flower shop also closed down.

Xiaohua looked at the dead seedlings in her flower shop in shock, and then looked at the culprit, Shenyuan.

Shenyuan said righteously that these flowers and grasses were not his flowers, so why should he water these messy things?

Shen Yuan insisted that this was his bottom line and he would never give in!

Xiaohua was very depressed. He always felt that time was passing by and if he didn't do something, he would be out of tune with everyone.

After all, human life expectancy is rapidly increasing, and their retirement age is constantly being pushed back. Everyone is working very hard for the future of mankind, for the future of the planet, and for a better tomorrow. Go for it!

"Well, then let's find a class."

Xiaohua took Shenyuan and went to find Mo Cheng through a back door. They really found a job and disguised themselves to mingle among humans.

Lu Jiajia, who realized Xiaohua's identity belatedly, sneered and said that Xiaohua really didn't know how lucky she was. She wanted to see what was so good about this crappy class.

This is ridiculous!

Lin Ling's job is to manage the botanical garden. He only needs to visit the botanical garden every day and record the status data of various plants.

After spending a morning finishing his work, he can lie on the rocking chair or swing in front of his work cabin, take a good nap, and wait for Shi Changyuan to get off work.

Xiaohua likes this job. After all, the lunch consists of three dishes, one soup and two-color ice cream!

Today's ice cream is strawberry and blueberry flavor.

But the work in the abyss doesn't seem to be going well.

Originally, Mo Cheng had been arranged a leisurely position through the back door, where he could just dabble in some research and pretend to be someone else.

But Shenyuan was too capable, or rather, too knowledgeable and with a strong learning ability, plus he had his own resources, so without her noticing, Shi Changyuan had pulled her into the core research group of the institute.

There is even a tendency for him to become the next team leader.

Now that Shenyuan has screwed us to this point, overtime work is inevitable.

Mo Cheng listened to Lin Ling's muttering and took note of it in his heart. After leaving, he immediately called the research institute and asked them to let the man go as soon as possible and increase his salary, otherwise his wife would ask him to resign!

The research institute was puzzled: "Xiao Shi has already reached this position, and he resigned when his wife asked him to? That's not how love brains work! And this is a contribution to mankind!"

Mo Cheng smiled without saying anything and sent the original document of the Love Brain Saving the World Plan from three hundred years ago.

The man on the other side did not understand at first, until he saw the name of the protagonist of the plan written in a small corner at the very end of the plan which had hundreds of pages - Shi Changyuan.

Since then, Shen Yuan has never worked overtime again.

"See, complaining still works." Xiaohua was very proud. She went forward and hugged her Shenyuan, took off the glasses that were on her nose, and then kissed her eyes.

"Well, you're awesome, Xiaohua." Shi Changyuan also kissed Lin Ling back and then praised her.

Three hundred years have passed, and the abyss's flattering words remain the same.

Lin Ling nestled in Shi Changyuan's arms, reaching out to play with Shi Changyuan's hair, which was a little too long and had never been taken care of.

"Here, your glasses."

Xiaohua put the glasses that she had just taken off back on Shi Changyuan and put the metal chains hanging at both ends neatly.

Shi Changyuan discovered that Xiaohua seemed to like his researcher's outfit very much, especially the glasses. Every time when Xiaohua came to pick up the flowers after get off work, Lin Ling would always take off the glasses and play with them for a while before helping Shi Changyuan put them on himself.

So Shenyuan was also very good at taking advantage of this. When he had teased Hua too much the night before, he would wear glasses to wake her up the next morning. Xiaohua was still half asleep and would agree to anything.

Xiaohua knew in her heart that he really liked this outfit!

Not only does he like this uniform, he has also been coveting the uniform of the Human Alliance Military Academy for a long time. After a few years, when he gets tired of this one, he will let Shen Yuan go to work at the military academy again and give him a different outfit, hehehe.

2.

During these hundreds of years, in addition to Xiaohua's sweet life with the abyss, she also occasionally participated in some major events of the human race -

For example, every hundred years, members of the Human Alliance decision-making group compete for elections.

Although Xiaohua and Shenyuan cannot vote, they have a crucial influence on internal voting.

If they don't think highly of someone, they only need to reveal some things they think are not so good, and then that person will basically miss out on the highest power in the alliance.

The Alliance must ensure that those who decide the future destiny of mankind are kind, just, reliable, rational, and fair. They must also be young, energetic, and have a promising future.

And only when these people enter the decision-making team can they have the opportunity to see Shen Yuan and Xiao Hua who are among the ordinary people.

"Why."

Xiaohua watched this year's election campaign, looked at the "young people" who were giving passionate speeches on the big screen, and counted on her fingers, "How many times has this been?"

“It’s the fourth time.”

"It's the fourth session..." Xiaohua recalled, "Those who were in the first session were of the same generation as Sister Mo. Now Sister Mo is a great-grandmother, and it seems that among the candidates there is the granddaughter of her granddaughter."

Xiaohua was about to lose count of the different generations of humans, but humans always insisted on calling them by their honorific titles.

When everyone can no longer count their generations, the young people will call them ancestors in their campaign speeches.

Then when they see that Shenyuan and Xiaohua look younger than themselves, their expressions slowly crack.

Lin Ling imagined that scene and was so happy that he rolled over in the arms of the abyss.

Shi Changyuan felt helpless when he saw Xiaohua, who was laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe. He grabbed her fingers, held them in front of him and kissed them.

"Xiaohua doesn't want them to yell at her, so she goes and complains. Or, every time this happens, she puts on makeup and pretends to be an old man."

As soon as Shenyuan's proposal came out, it attracted Xiaohua's attention. His eyes sparkled and he gestured with his long beard, looking really eager to try.

He seemed to really want to do this, but hesitated, looked into the abyss, and asked, "Will you dislike me?"

Shi Changyuan smiled and said, "No."

He kissed the ring on Xiaohua's ring finger, which had been fastened there three hundred years ago.

During these three hundred years, the patterns on the ring have long been worn away and no trace of them can be seen. No matter how carefully designed it was, it has now become a part of the history books, leaving only a small plain ring on the hand.

"It's all your fault!" Xiaohua also looked at the ring on her hand and pretended to be angry, "If you hadn't wanted to make a ring that couldn't be taken off, we would have replaced it with a new ring a long time ago!"

When Shenyuan saw the ring was slightly worn, he became alert and immediately made another pair of identical rings to keep.

But there is no way, the ring cannot be taken off, and Xiaohua can't wear two rings, right?

I can find a place to wear it again in these three hundred years, but I can’t take the ring off. In another eight three hundred years, won’t Xiaohua’s ten fingers be covered with rings?

Xiaohua deliberately hummed for a while, waiting for Shenyuan to coax him.

Shi Changyuan smiled and did not expose Lin Ling's trick. He followed his words and said, "What do you want, Lingling?"

What does Xiaohua want?

Xiaohua has a lot of thoughts.

Xiaohua completely forgot about her 300th wedding anniversary two days ago and played a game with Abyss Punishment. She ended up losing badly that night and owed a lot of points.

Xiaohua cried and accused Shenyuan and humans of being corrupt and having their heads full of evil knowledge, but Shenyuan refuted the accusation, saying that Xiaohua was no worse than them.

At that time, Xiaohua had forgotten this day and was worried and scared, so she quickly looked for remedial measures, but Shenyuan said that Xiaohua still had to accept the punishment, but if Xiaohua was lucky enough, the punishment could be exempted. Xiaohua could also make a few more requests, no matter what they were, Shi Changyuan would satisfy them all.

This sounded like a good idea, so of course Xiaohua fell for it right away.

When he found that he could not get through the abyss at all, everything was over. When the dust settled, Xiaohua was not only not exempted from punishment, but also owed a lot of debts.

"Wuwu, just a little less, please." Xiaohua acted coquettishly in the arms of the abyss, "It really won't work if we continue like this, Xiaohua will be squeezed dry."

Shi Changyuan kissed Lin Ling in his arms and didn't say anything for a while, which made Lin Ling feel that there was an opportunity.

"No."

Shenyuan imitated Xiaohua's tone and said something that made Xiaohua feel hopeless in the most relaxed tone, "Except for this, I agree to everything else, Xiaohua."

"And Xiaohua likes it too, doesn't she?"

After hearing this, Xiaohua stopped struggling all of a sudden.

His eyelashes trembled violently, and then he curled up shyly. I like it, but I can't be so pretentious for a whole night——

After all, they have hundreds and thousands of anniversaries to celebrate.

In short, there is still a long time to go.
