The armor of the Xuanwu base was slowly deployed.
The metal reflects a dazzling light under the sunlight, as if silently announcing a new journey.
The engine started to hum, then gradually turned into a roar, like a giant beast that had been sleeping for a thousand years finally opening its eyes.
Inside and outside the base, the air that had been silent for years exploded, welcoming this shocking moment.
In the square, people clenched their fists, looked up at the tall armor above their heads, and their eyes were red.
“It’s moving! It’s really moving!”
Someone shouted, his voice was hoarse, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
In front of the windows of the residential area, children were lying on the glass, their young faces full of curiosity.
"Mom, are we going to find the blue sea?"
The mother stroked the child's head and smiled with sobs:
"Yes, maybe there is a new sky."
In the engineering command room deep inside the base, Chen Huayuan took off his glasses and carefully wiped the lenses with his hands.
His hands were shaking a little, and his voice was trembling slightly, but he was relieved:
"This moment has finally arrived."
He was the one who proposed the base relocation plan. He originally thought it was just a luxury, but it turned out to be better than he expected.
Less than three months after the plan was proposed, Xuanwu Base finally took action in the true sense.
It was not moving slowly like before, but it was walking on the earth as a whole, as if it had life.
"May this Xuanwu protect our future."
He spoke lightly, but the engineers standing by stood up in surprise.
“You did it!”
Someone in the crowd spoke excitedly to Yang Wanshan.
It was because he deconstructed the alien spaceship that such a huge base became possible.
Yang Wanshan appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was in turmoil.
He originally thought that his supernatural powers were useless, but now they have found their place in the Xuanwu base, and his personal value has been maximized.
"I'm still a long way from here!"
He looked forward and said so.
The other direction.
Zhao Shuang stood in front of the control console, staring closely at the data of the base.
His ability allows the data in his mind to flow as smoothly as water, and every tiny deviation is captured instantly.
"The tracks are stable and the thrust is sufficient."
He raised his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"She's more perfect than I thought."
The assistant beside him spoke:
"Boss Zhao, you are amazing. The entire base depends on you, the intelligent computer."
Zhao Shuang just waved his hand and lowered his head to continue debugging:
"Stop talking nonsense. There are still 37 systems that have not been optimized."
In the planting laboratory in the residential area, Li Kan was standing next to a modified camellia tree, gently touching the leaves.
The camellia tree had yellow leaves due to malnutrition, but she treated it as a treasure.
There was a calm light in her eyes, yet there was a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
"These plants can still grow in this environment."
She looked at a tiny new sprout and murmured softly.
"If we can find more resources, perhaps the land will be able to grow lush vegetation again."
At the edge of the square, Shi Zhuang was carrying an alloy knife, staring quietly at the cracks in the ground in the distance.
He stood straight, his eyes steady, like a tree rooted in the wilderness.
"General, we need your instructions."
The soldier next to him reminded him, but he remained silent.
After a long while, he only said one sentence:
"Look at this wasteland and remember why we are fighting."
Shi Hai stood on the main observation deck of the Xuanwu base, holding the guardrail, looking at the path of the base's movement.
It's like looking back at the road you came from.
His hair has turned gray, but his posture is still as straight as a sword.
"300 years after the end of the world, I finally see the backbone of mankind."
The young man came over and asked:
"General, are you happy?"
He turned his head and looked at the young man with a steady smile:
"Yes, I am happy."
After a pause, he added:
“But it’s also sad.”
He spoke slowly, but the young man was stunned on the spot, as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
…
The base moved slowly, its tracks rolling over the barren land, leaving deep trenches.
The giant steel beast moved through the ruins, raising dust like a storm, painting the sky orange.
High in the sky, the radar rotates, capturing every slight movement in the distance.
The base defense turrets slowly rotate, like a giant turtle's shell swaying naturally as it moves.
The tracks at the bottom made a low roar, and every rotation made the ground tremble.
The tremor spread throughout the wasteland, startling the birds to circle in the air, and the dilapidated ruins in the distance seemed to be sobbing softly.
People stood by the portholes, watching everything in the distance.
They lived here for a long, long time and finally embarked on a new journey.
The children clapped excitedly, while the old people shed tears silently.
An old craftsman held a toolbox in his hand and said in a hoarse voice:
"Is there a bigger world out there?"
Song Lufeng stood at the main control console, looking at everything.
His voice was transmitted through the communicator throughout the base:
"Target: South, towards the Suzaku base."
The voice is low but powerful, like a fully drawn bowstring.
Li Kan stood in the planting area and whispered:
"In the south, maybe we can plant the first forest."
Zhao Shuang stared at the data interface and murmured:
"Hopefully there won't be too many surprises there."
Shi Hai still stood on the observation deck, and uttered two words softly:
"Forward."
Xuanwu Base continues to move forward.
It is like a giant turtle, but it does not slow down.
Every move opens up a new path for survival.
It carries the hopes of millions of people and heads towards an unknown future.
This scene was also watched by Gu Man throughout.
She seemed to have become a member of the Xuanwu Base, not only a spectator, but also a participant and creator!
The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that comes from having multiple identities can be explained in a few words.
It’s like watching your own child grow from taking his first steps to running as fast as he can.
"Manman...my savior, did you see it?"
Gu Man nodded, not realizing that tears were welling up in his eyes.
"I saw it. It's a very happy moment."
"Manman, your voice is not right...what's wrong?"
When she was so happy, she was reluctant to tell him about the difficulties she encountered.
But Song Lufeng noticed it keenly.
"Is there another force targeting you?"
His face turned completely cold.
I just regret not being by her side.
"It's not fair to me if you really have something going on there and you don't tell me."
"Just as you know me, I want to know you better."
Gu Man felt a warm feeling in his heart and told him everything that had happened that day.
One person listened quietly, and the other person spoke quietly.
It is the moving note beneath the afterglow of the giant beast's movement...
