After Zhang Lingchuan's death, Qinglong Base finally had a chance to be reborn.
The oppressors have been overthrown, fear and darkness are gradually dissipating, but the road to rebuilding our homeland has just begun.
Survivors gathered in the ruins, full of hope but also full of anxiety.
Resources are scarce and land is barren. Their situation is just like the original Xuanwu base, trapped in the quagmire of resource scarcity and struggling to make any progress.
Xuanwu Base urgently mobilized a million troops.
Armored vehicles, transport vehicles, infantry, drones... a huge army set out from the Xuanwu base and drove towards the Qinglong base in a mighty manner.
Song Lufeng said in the pre-war briefing.
"This time the mission is clear."
"Eliminate the zombies and ensure the safety of Qinglong Base."
The army launched a large-scale operation in the ruins.
High-tech weapons accurately lock on to zombies, including energy cannons, pulse guns, and mechanical armor for comprehensive suppression.
"The zombies on the left have been cleared!"
Liu Zui chopped off the head of the last zombie with a sword and said coldly.
"Drone inspection completed, no signs of life in the area."
Shu Weng reported.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights, and the number of zombies was beyond imagination.
However, the army of Xuanwu Base completely wiped out all the zombies with overwhelming force.
After the battle, the supply truck from Xuanwu Base arrived shortly after.
Also present was the famous botanist Dr. Li Kan and her team.
"Although the land of Qinglong Base is barren, it is not without hope."
Dr. Li Kan stood on a wasteland, holding a plant seed in his hand.
Her team included many wood-type mutants who used their powers to accelerate the growth of plants and produced the first batch of food crops.
"We will teach you the planting techniques of the Xuanwu base." said Dr. Li Kan.
Su Yao, the new leader of Qinglong Base, is full of gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you Xuanwu Base..."
"We can't make it without you."
However, the problems at Qinglong Base go far beyond food.
The infrastructure is severely damaged, drinking water is in short supply, and medical resources are almost non-existent.
The plight of Qinglong Base was brought to the present through live broadcast.
The survivors' living scenes shocked all the audience.
Children ate the few remaining dry food, women lined up to get the meager water, and men dug in the ruins but found nothing.
Modern audiences were deeply distressed by the scene, and comments were flooding in:
【Oh my god, how can they live such a miserable life? ! 】
[I couldn’t help crying when I saw the faces of these children…]
[The situation at the Qinglong Base is exactly the same as that at the Xuanwu Base! ]
【These people need us, let's all donate a little! 】
[Humanity should unite! The end of the world is already cruel enough! 」
【Gu Man and Song Lufeng have done so much, we should also do our part. 】
【I donated 1,000 yuan, hoping to buy them some food. 】
【Don’t just look at the bullet screen! Take action and help them! 】
Modern donations are spreading rapidly.
Countless materials were gathered from all over the country and sent to the warehouse.
Rice, flour, vegetables, medicine, clothes... boxes of supplies filled the transport truck.
Gu Man then transferred them to the Qinglong base.
These supplies were continuously delivered to the survivors of Qinglong Base.
"Thank you so much!" a woman said, holding a bag of rice, her eyes filled with tears of excitement.
"The child is finally able to eat enough..." She held the thin child in her arms, her voice choked with sobs.
The reconstruction of Qinglong Base is gradually getting on track.
The survivors learned new farming techniques and began to plant their first crops;
New water purification equipment also began to operate, and clean drinking water flowed into every household.
-------
Modern cities are still prosperous.
Strolling along the bustling streets, feeling the noise blowing in your face.
Here there is no fear of the end of the world, nor is there a struggle between life and death.
She slowed down her pace and re-experienced the life of an ordinary person.
Walking into a city park, the sun shines on the grass and the leaves rustle.
Walking slowly along the winding path, you will see a flower garden full of blooming flowers.
On a bench by the roadside, several elderly people were playing chess;
Not far away, children were chasing and playing, their laughter ringing.
She stopped, squatted in front of a cluster of flowers, and gently touched the petals with her fingertips.
"So beautiful," she whispered.
In the end times, flowers are a luxury, but here, they can be seen everywhere.
A little girl ran over and handed her a freshly picked wild flower:
"Sister Gu Man, this is for you."
Gu Man took the flowers and smiled warmly:
"Thank you, kid."
She pushed open the glass door of a small bookstore and the bell rang crisply.
The bookstore was filled with the faint scent of paper and ink, and sunlight filtered through the windows onto the wooden floor.
Gu Man casually picked up a book and started reading it while sitting by the window.
Her eyes scanned the lines of text, but her heart was hard to calm down.
"How wonderful it would be if people in the last days could have such a life?"
She murmured to herself, and a trace of bitterness emerged in her heart when she thought of those figures struggling in the ruins.
At this time, the bookstore owner came over and handed her a cup of hot tea:
"You seem to be paying close attention. Do you want to sit for a while?"
Gu Man nodded and thanked him softly.
She held the teacup and sat there quietly, as if isolated from the world.
As night fell, she returned to her villa.
In the kitchen, she put on her apron and began to prepare a simple dinner.
The ingredients in the pot sizzled and the air was filled with an alluring aroma.
She cut vegetables, seasoned, and stir-fried with skillful and efficient movements.
"This is the taste of life."
She sat at the dining table with the prepared meal in her hand, feeling very satisfied.
There was no one else at the table, but she didn't feel lonely.
Send a portion of the meal to Song Lufeng.
Turn on the TV, play a relaxing movie, and keep the volume on your phone.
He took a bite of the hot meal with a smile.
These three little things temporarily relieved her from stress.
Walking, reading, and cooking, she felt the beauty of modern life again.
But she knew that this peace was only temporary.
The crisis of the end of the world still exists, and what awaits her are more challenges.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked up at the starry sky outside the window.
"That's enough rest, it's time to move on," she said softly.
------
This time, the province Gu Manjue awakened was Zhejiang Province.
The sky gradually brightened and the earth was full of vitality.
Forests are reborn, rivers are clear, and barren fields are green again.
She stood in the middle of the land, her body swaying slightly.
Her fingers were still buried in the soil, feeling the last ripples of awakening.
"This piece of land has also come alive."
She said softly, a glimmer of relief in her eyes.
But at the same time, she felt extremely tired.
Awakening a province is not the same as awakening a forest or a river.
This time, without the help of the moon and the golden planet, she almost exhausted all her strength.
She fainted.
Falling into a deep dream, the body glows faintly, like a sleeping star.
Just when she was about to lose consciousness, a slightly twisted space tunnel quietly appeared beside her.
Song Lufeng walked out of the tunnel, his black armor reflecting a faint light.
His gaze fell on Gu Man, and a hint of heartache flashed across his eyes.
"You always neglect yourself."
He squatted down, stretched out his arms, and picked her up slowly and carefully.
Her body seemed too light to be real, like a cloud, like a beam of light.
He is like a stream of light.
He carried her back to the villa.
The villa was extremely quiet, with only the wind outside the window gently blowing through the treetops, bringing a slight rustling sound.
Song Lufeng opened the door and walked into the living room holding Gu Man.
The sunlight shines through the curtains onto the floor, casting a layer of warm light over the entire room.
He laid Gu Man on the sofa, moving slowly and carefully, as if afraid of hurting her.
His eyes stayed on her face for a long time.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and even in her dreams, she seemed to be bearing some unspeakable burden.
"Manman..."
He murmured in a low voice, almost inaudible.
A sigh.
He held her hand and channeled his supernatural powers into her.
Their supernatural powers alternated within each other's bodies, entangled, chased, and filled...
You have been in me, and I have been in you.
Gu Man's face looks much better.
He stood up and walked to the kitchen.
A light grey apron was tied around his waist, forming a sharp contrast with his usual stern image.
Tall figure and killer long legs.
His handsome looks can easily kill all male stars.
He opened the refrigerator and took out a few simple ingredients.
"You always run around for everyone. This time, I'll do something for you."
He spoke softly, with a determined gentleness in his tone.
The knife makes even cutting sounds on the chopping board, and the hot oil makes a sizzling sound in the pot.
A warmth gradually spread in the kitchen, like a sense of security wrapped in the scent of fireworks.
He is a true genius.
Whatever you do.
He quickly prepared four dishes and a soup, placed them carefully on the table, and brought a blanket to cover her.
The sunlight fell on his shoulders, stretching his shadow very long, like a wall that would never fall down.
She gradually regained consciousness.
The warm breath enveloped her, dispelling the fatigue and coldness in her body.
Gu Man slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was the warm sunshine and the swaying green outside the window.
Her gaze moved to a place not far away where Song Lufeng was sitting on a chair, looking at her deeply and tenderly.
That look was so gentle.
Like a gentle sea, it almost makes people indulge in it.
"You're awake."
His voice was low and slow, as if he was afraid of waking her.
She was stunned for a moment, then sat up, the blanket slipped from her shoulders, and she subconsciously grabbed it.
"How long...have I been sleeping?"
She asked, her voice still a little hoarse.
"Three hours."
He said, bringing the cooked porridge over and placing it in front of her.
"Let's eat something first."
Gu Man looked at the steam rising from the porridge and felt a little sour in his nose.
"You...made this yourself?"
She asked with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
"Of course."
He smiled slightly, and the sunlight became brighter.
"My craftsmanship is not bad, my savior."
Gu Man's heart trembled.
This man is damn hot!
Doesn't he know that this is a foul?
She lowered her head and took a sip of porridge to cover the heat on her cheeks. The warm taste instantly spread on the tip of her tongue.
Unexpectedly, the porridge tasted so good.
"In here——"
"Shrimp, lean meat, shredded chicken, and greens. Very flavorful."
Song Lufeng said:
"I just watched a lot of cooking videos."
She looked up at him, and the moment their eyes met, the air temperature rose.
“We haven’t actually met many times.”
"But in reality, we have been fighting side by side for a long time, right?"
Song Lufeng smiled slightly: "You understand me, and I understand you."
"Although we don't meet often, we are always on the same path."
Gu Man looked at him, with ripples in his heart.
She had never thought much about their relationship.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that she and Song Lufeng were inseparable.
"thank you."
She chuckled.
Raise the juice.
"To you."
"Respect me too."
Song Lufeng smiled and raised the juice.
"To my savior."
Drink it all in one gulp.
Song Lufeng raised his head and his Adam's apple moved slightly.
Somehow, Gu Man really wanted to touch it.
She really touched it.
By the time I reacted, I had already bumped into a pair of deep eyes.
Like the sea.
She was a little flustered.
To be honest.
During this time, she and Song Lufeng fought side by side, one in the present and the other in the future, protecting each other and talking to each other every day.
There was really no stranger between them.
But as for being familiar with each other, it turned out that the two had only met three times.
Counting today.
It's the fourth time.
The first few times he came and left in a hurry, he stayed for a very short time and didn't have time to say anything.
It was a little longer today.
He was about to move his hand away, but was grabbed by Song Lufeng.
"If the Savior wants to touch, he may as well touch for a longer time."
His voice was hoarse.
Gu Man feels hot.
So far, she has never had a serious love affair in her life.
Although he had been engaged to Lin Muyu before, to him, he was just complying with the engagement relationship. Apart from that, he was more familiar with her than a stranger.
So she was angry about his betrayal, but not hurt at all.
Angry, nor does he care about this person.
It's because he unilaterally violated the spirit of the contract.
But now it’s different, very different…
His breath, his voice, his person.
Alive, standing right here.
Crossing three hundred years, he came to her side.
So Gu Man simply reached out and hugged his waist.
His waist was narrow and slender, yet full of strength, and it felt hot the moment she hugged him.
"It's really nice to touch."
Two flames lit up in Song Lufeng's eyes.
Although he is a playboy and usually doesn't like women, his years of killing life have already tempered his character.
His heart was beating like a drum.
But it doesn't lose control.
"Manman...you are lighting the fire."
Gu Man smiled and said:
"The one in front of you is my ancestor, I am just an old cow eating young grass..."
Before he could finish his words, he was covered by the burning heat.
The fragmented sounds were swallowed into each other's throats...
Long Yue, who was guarding outside the villa, heard some unusual movements inside the villa.
Rushed in suddenly.
The double blades are unsheathed.
But when she saw the situation in front of her, she was stunned for a moment.
Get out immediately and close the door.
My heart was pounding.
At this moment, the phone vibrates.
It’s Song Lanpu.
"How is Ms. Gu?"
Gu Man realized that he already knew about what happened in Zhejiang Province and called her because he was concerned about her.
Long Yue felt that the phone was very hot.
"…She's fine."
How should she say this?
You can't say that your great-great-great-grandson is hugging Ms. Gu and chewing on her.
Oh my god!
It's a mess!
"Your voice sounds a little strange. What happened to Gu Man? Did she overdraw her energy? I'll come right over!"
Long Yue hurriedly said, "Don't come over here, don't come over here. Hey, please don't come over here!"
The person on the other end has hung up the phone.
Long Yue looked up at the sky in silence.
Not a very good feeling.
There is always a feeling of going to Shura Field.
But then I thought about it.
never mind.
It's none of her business anyway.
She was very curious about what her new boss's expression would be if he found out about what happened between Gu Man and his great-great-great-grandson.
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little bit more excited.
Hehehehe.
