Chapter 884: Diverting Misfortune

In the midst of the falling snow, Chen Chaogong was wearing a polar snow suit ready for a long journey, with a sports backpack on his back, a ski pole in his hand, gloves on his hands, and a hat on his head with a pair of glasses on it to block the wind and snow.

An Ran found an umbrella under the eaves, opened it, and walked to the gate of the yard with the umbrella. She opened the wooden door, frowned, looked at Chen Chaogong's attire, and asked:

"Are you planning to travel far?"

"Well, I told Fatty a long time ago that I'm going back to the Kinmen base."

"Then why did you come to see me?"

"I hope you'll let me go."

The smile on Chen Chaogong's face was somewhat lonely and desolate. He looked at An Ran from across the threshold.

"You were forced to hand me over, and I left on my own. These are two different concepts. An Ran, Bai Hua City is good, really good. Every day I am here, I am very happy and satisfied."

"If it's so good, why leave?"

"In fact, you should consider what the leader of Xiaozhou City said. He is right. Let me go, and the trouble will be diverted to the east. Baihua City will be peaceful from now on."

An Ran frowned, "If you are worried that you will make Baihua City the target of public criticism, you don't have to worry about that. Baihua City is not afraid."

"I know you are not afraid, but my father is old and I want to go home to see him. This is my selfish desire."

Chen Chaogong shook his head. Seeing An Ran open her mouth, he spoke again, "After I leave, you can take advantage of the time when Baihua City regains its tranquility to find the existence that can suppress the Doomsday Virus. To be honest, An Ran, I don't believe you think I have that ability."

An Ran didn't say anything. She leaned on the umbrella above her head and looked quietly at Chen Chaogong outside the door. Fine snow fell on her umbrella, and soon, there was a thin layer of snow on her umbrella.

She was thinking that Chen Chaogong was indeed a very smart man. That's right, in fact, including An Ran, Zhan Lian, Zhao Ru, Liang Ziyu and Yun Tao, none of them were sure that Chen Chaogong had this ability. Uncertainty meant disbelief.

However, when they were discussing it, they only gave Chen Chaogong a 50% possibility, saying that the probability that he might have the ability to suppress the doomsday virus was the highest, while others directly characterized this greatest possibility as 100%.

Now that things have developed to this point, it seems to An Ran that the 50% chance is gradually decreasing.

Seeing An Ran just remained silent, Chen Chaogong said to An Ran earnestly: "I know this person is among you, and I also know it won't be me. Baihua City lacks nothing now, but a peaceful environment where it can continue to develop. I hope you can solve the doomsday virus and make everyone's life gradually better. For this, I am willing to be your stepping stone."

In other words, Chen Chaogong was willing to serve as a bridge of communication between Baihua City and Kinmen Base. He knew that there were many conflicts between the two bases, so they needed someone like him, someone who hoped that both bases would develop well, to reconcile the conflicts.

Baihua City is now very busy. The water and wood ability users ensure the supply of materials, and then the whole city starts to fight against the various bases of all sizes that come to challenge. This is very unfavorable to the development of Baihua City. To put it more broadly, it is also very unfavorable for the research and solution to the doomsday virus.
