"The last time we got together like this was two years ago." Chu Lin spoke first, with some emotion, "But I don't feel that time has passed quickly at all. Instead, I feel that time has passed too slowly."

"Because these were the most difficult ten years for the survivors." Hong Feizhang glanced at him and said, "Aren't you in charge of excavating materials from the seabed? How come you came back so soon?"

"I'm not the fastest." Chu Lin raised his chin towards Mo Qiu. "He was originally on the other side of the earth, and he specially asked me to call a transport plane."

".My work has already been completed." Mo Qiu shook his head slightly and explained to himself, but obviously did not care much about Chu Lin's words.

Among the four, the one who has changed the most in the past ten years would definitely be Mo Qiu.

The rest had already held high positions.

However, Mo Qiu, in a short period of time, became the deputy director of the food department of Haicheng Alliance, in charge of the vital food of the entire Haicheng Alliance and truly held a high position.

He is also the most famous star in the entire Haicheng Alliance.

Popularity is unmatched.

Three years ago, a large-scale conflict broke out in a western sea city over the issue of food distribution. Mo Qiu, alone, relied on his unparalleled popularity to suppress the violent crowd for three days, and within these three days, he made reasonable arrangements, thus becoming the youngest deputy minister in the Sea City Alliance.

The whole person's temperament seems to have undergone a complete transformation.

However, Mo Qiu at this moment seemed a little absent-minded, his eyes were not focused on what was in front of him, and he looked quite dazed.

The rest of the people also fell silent.

They didn't know what Mo Qiu was thinking about writing, but they were also waiting with some expectation.

And the next moment.

A spatial ripple from the depths of their memory appeared before them.

Shen Yi stepped out.

The memories that had seemed somewhat strange suddenly became vivid when I saw this familiar face.

"Mr. Shen!" The four people stood up almost at the same time.

Mr. Shen is really back! Ten years have passed without leaving any traces on Mr. Shen's appearance.

No, there are changes.

The four people looked at Shen Yi with some surprise.

Ten years ago, although Shen Yi was filled with a mysterious aura, he was not like he is now. It was as if he had become detached and independent. He just stood there, as if it was permanently engraved in his soul, and he could not forget this scene.

"It's been a while." Shen Yi smiled and sat down casually, while also motioning to them, "Sit down, no need to stand."

"Yes." The four of them suppressed the throbbing in their hearts and sat back in their seats.

Shen Yi's eyes swept over the four of them.

Finally, it stopped on Mo Qiu.

He was also a little surprised at Mo Qiu's change.

If the previous Mo Qiu was a budding girl, full of innocence and shyness, then the current Mo Qiu is a blooming peony, with eyes like water, breath like orchid, gentle and elegant.

Nothing else to say.

But now, they looked at each other openly, as if to release the longing that had been brewing for the past ten years.

"It seems that you have all experienced a lot during this period of time." Shen Yi said softly, "I have learned about what you have done during this period of time. You have lived up to my expectations of you. The bright future of the entire civilization is clearly visible."

"It's all thanks to the technology and support you left behind." Hong Feizhang spoke, his voice as steady as ever, "Those technologies are the power that supported us through the difficult times. Without those technologies, we wouldn't be where we are today."

"No need to be modest." Shen Yi shook his head and said seriously, "I came here mainly to provide you with further support according to the agreement. In addition, I also require you to fulfill certain obligations."

With just one sentence, Chu Lin and the others' eyes lit up.

To be honest, although the technologies that were left over from the beginning were of great use, they are almost at the limit of their usefulness.

Except for some things that have not been absorbed and digested, they have become slow again in some areas.

I even asked Qiwu countless times if I could get further technical support.

But Qiwu did not respond.

And now, they finally have a chance to gain more support?

"Since the agreement has been signed, I think there won't be any problems." Hong Feizhang said decisively.

Chu Lin obviously thought more.

He asked aloud, "I don't know what exactly Mr. Shen means by obligation? Is there a problem at the end of the world that needs our support?"

He couldn't help but care about this.

According to the agreement, as an allied civilization of the Pan-Human Guardian Association, they are obliged to provide assistance to some civilizations that are experiencing the end of the world, including but not limited to supplies and personnel.

But now, the entire state of human civilization is actually not that good.

The entire world is no longer suitable for human survival. Although they have survived, it is very barely possible, and many areas have not recovered to the level before the disaster.

"I am indeed facing a rather tricky doomsday situation. The human civilization in that world is facing a destructive declaration of war by an extraterrestrial non-human civilization whose power far exceeds theirs." As soon as Shen Yi's words fell, several people's hearts skipped a beat, and Che Yongchang could hardly control the changes in his expression.

A declaration of war by an extraterrestrial non-human civilization?

Even Mr. Shen found this difficult? This was not a war that they were capable of participating in.

"Of course, the obligations I ask you to fulfill have little to do with this war." Shen Yi said again.

"Mr. Shen is panting." Che Yongchang patted his chest, took a long breath of relief, and then showed a helpless expression, "All our focus now is on survival, and we have basically abandoned the military direction. If there is a war, then all we can provide are soldiers with a spirit of sacrifice."

As Che Yongchang said, under the pressure of survival, they have basically given up military development.

However, the fighting spirit was not given up.

Whether it is the exploitation of seabed resources, the construction in Antarctica, or even the transportation construction, the hardships and dangers in these places are no less than those in war.

And ever since that great disaster.

The Haicheng Alliance regards the fighting spirit as a spiritual quality that is essential to the entire human civilization and as the greatest wealth that the disaster has given to mankind.
