Chapter 217 Finale (Part 3)
Everything was ready. Lu Ming opened his eyes again and saw the familiar gray sky.
She's back!
I never knew she could be so excited when she saw such a gloomy sky!
She sat up, looked around, and found herself in a forest.
Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body...
Uh, why is she naked?!
This annoying Lan, she got a new body as promised, but why didn’t they provide her with some clothes?
Tsk, maybe their artificial intelligence still doesn't understand the shame humans feel about not wearing clothes...
But didn’t Lan say that she could do a lot of things in this system?
It shouldn’t be difficult to “change” your clothes...right?
Lu Ming recalled the piece of clothing he wore most often in his mind and tried to visualize it.
In fact, to put it bluntly, all people and things are just a string of data. Although people's experience is very real, it is actually just the brain that is deceived. This is why the captain is not allowed to reveal things in the real world to people in this system. It is because they are afraid that they will know that they are living in an illusion and will not be able to accept it for a while, and do something that harms humanity.
However, after trying for a long time, I still got nothing.
Just then, the voices of two men were heard from outside the woods.
"There seems to be someone inside?"
"Really? Go check it out."
"No, what if there are mutated plants or animals?"
"Don't worry, this place is so close to City C, nothing will happen, it's very safe."
Lu Ming was startled and a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Oh no! They're going inside and she's still naked, what should I do?!
The two men walked in cautiously. Not long after they went, they found that the half-height grass behind them was constantly shaking. They became alert instantly. The former raised his hands, ready to release his supernatural powers at any time, while the latter raised his gun and pointed the muzzle at the grass. Then the two looked at each other, and the former suddenly made a move and pulled the grass apart.
She turned out to be... an extremely beautiful girl?
The two were stunned and stared at the girl intently.
Lu Ming's heart was pounding. Phew, luckily he caught up!
Just before they parted the grass, she successfully changed her clothes.
It turns out that people don’t realize how powerful they can be until they are in danger!
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The man holding the gun came to his senses first, looked warily at the girl in a black shirt squatting on the ground in front of him, and asked.
Lu Ming was a little panicked. What should she say? !
You can't say she's from another world, right?
The other man saw that she looked panicked and didn't answer. He felt a little sorry for her, so he put down his hand and patted the man holding the gun on the shoulder, "Don't be so nervous. Look how scared you are."
He turned around and asked Lu Ming, "Are you a refugee from somewhere else?"
Lu Ming nodded quickly, "Yeah."
Well done bro!
Even where she came from was figured out for her.
"Come on, we'll take you to the aid station."
Aid station?
Is there such a place in their City C?
"Where?"
"It's in City C. Don't you want to go to the shelter?"
The two looked at her suspiciously.
Lu Ming said quickly, "I thought you were talking about a rescue station somewhere else..."
I see.
But seeing how outstanding she looks, maybe she has been cheated too many times before, so she is so cautious.
The man on the left reached out and tried to pull her up.
However, Lu Ming ignored the hand he offered, stood up by himself, and looked at the two of them innocently.
The man touched his head, pretending that he was not embarrassed at all, and with a dry laugh, he turned around and walked out of the woods with his teammates.
Lu Ming followed behind and walked out.
After leaving the woods, Lu Ming saw several modified cars parked not far away. It seemed that they were the fleet they belonged to.
Sure enough, the man in front took her straight to the first convertible off-road vehicle.
When the people in the car heard the noise, they turned around and were stunned.
"Fuck! Where did this beautiful lady come from?"
A man standing in the back of the car couldn't help but swear, staring intently at Lu Ming and his teammates walking towards him.
A man got off the off-road vehicle. When he saw Lu Ming clearly, his face suddenly changed, but after staring at him for a while, he returned to normal.
He nodded to his teammate who was approaching and asked, "What's going on?"
"The ones we met in the woods were survivors heading to the aid station."
The man next to the car frowned and asked again: "Where did you come from?"
"Ah, I didn't ask that." The man scratched his head and turned to look at Lu Ming, "Where are you from?"
"West." Lu Ming answered cautiously.
She was afraid that she would say something wrong and miss the opportunity to get information. After all, she felt that something seemed to be different. Before she figured out the situation, it was better not to attract attention and try to keep a low profile.
Fortunately, her answer seemed quite reasonable, and everyone looked as if they had suddenly understood.
The people next to the car glanced at Lu Ming again. Although the girl in front of them looked a little dusty, she had an outstanding appearance, was dressed neatly, had fair skin and rosy lips, and did not look like a refugee at all.
But who made her look so much like that person?
So he was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "Get in the car."
Luming felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he followed the two people he met in the woods, climbed onto the back of the off-road vehicle, and followed their example, sitting on a pile of supply boxes.
The car started and drove north.
There were already two people in the car, they looked young and couldn't help but steal glances at Lu Ming.
Sitting next to Lu Ming was a younger boy. He was a little excited and started talking to Lu Ming: "Hi, what's your name?"
"My name is... Youyou."
"Youyou? My name is Jiang Xia, hello."
"Hello."
"Where are your teammates? Why are you alone?"
"...I got separated from them."
"Huh? Where did they get separated? What are their names? Do you want us to help you find them? Maybe they've already gone to the shelter?"
Lu Ming was about to shake his head when an idea suddenly occurred to him. He asked tentatively, "Do you know Chaoyang Base?"
"Chaoyang Base? What kind of base is that? I've never heard of it."
What? !
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat and began beating violently.
The search team near City C didn't even know about the Chaoyang Base?
Oh my god, Lan couldn't be mistaken, was this her original apocalypse?
Jiang Xia blinked at her shocked expression, then suddenly thought of something and asked quietly, "What's wrong? Did your teammates say they were going to meet up at that base? Did they...actually abandon you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by the young man next to him.
"Hey, Cheng, why did you hit me?"
"If you can't speak, just shut up."
Can’t you see that his eyes are red!
This idiot is really hopeless.
Jiang Xia stuck out his tongue, looked back at Lu Ming, who was hugging his knees with red eyes, looking deeply shocked, and covered his mouth.
The other people in the car couldn't understand: Who would abandon such a good-looking teammate?
Not some fool, right?
Or is there some unknown side to this girl?
The car suddenly fell into silence.
Fortunately, it didn't last long and we arrived at our destination.
Several cars wobbled to a stop. Lu Ming looked over and realized this was the main gate to their Chaoyang base.
How could they not know about Chaoyang Base?
In endless confusion, she followed these people out of the car.
The young man who had asked her the question before came over and asked her, "Are you a mutant?"
Lu Ming nodded in confusion.
"Then follow me."
He took Lu Ming into a bungalow next to the gate. There was a table at the innermost part, with two middle-aged women sitting behind it. There was a row of benches on each side of the room.
He said to the people behind the desk, "This is a new psychic, Aunt Zhou, please help register him."
The two women's eyes lit up when they saw Lu Ming's beautiful face. They all laughed and said, "Oh, Xiao Zheng, you're so lucky. Where did you find such a pretty girl?"
The other one winked at the young man and said, "Is this flower taken? If not, I have to reserve it for my son."
The man surnamed Zheng laughed helplessly, "Aunt Li, you'll have to ask her. We just ran into her on the street and don't even know her name."
"Oh, that's a good feeling."
"Come here, little girl, you have special powers, right? What kind of special powers do you have? Let me see."
"space."
"Oh, this is great, so practical. Come sit here and tell me where it came from."
Lu Ming was pressed stiffly into the chair, and then he looked at the two women in front of him with bright smiles, his scalp tingling...
After ten minutes of "torture" and "interrogation", Lu Ming filled out a registration form at random and ran out as if escaping.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she breathed in the fresh air outside.
A chuckle came from the side. Lu Ming turned around and saw that the cars had disappeared. Only the man was standing at the door waiting for her.
Lu Ming was speechless, and even the heaviness and panic he had felt when he heard that the two of them didn't know about Chaoyang Base had dissipated a little.
The man came over to her and said, "Come on, I'll take you in."
Lu Ming was in no mood to talk and nodded silently.
The two walked in through the small gate of the base one after the other. Lu Ming looked at the unfamiliar buildings in front of him and felt even worse.
What exactly happened?
I really didn't come to the wrong place, did I?
The man next to him asked, "Do you want to rent a house?"
Lu Ming shook her head. If this was indeed not the Chaoyang base, then she would have to find a way to contact Lan and ask him what was going on. Maybe she would have to leave soon.
The man was a little surprised. "Where are you planning to live? Are you worried about the rent?"
Seeing she didn't respond, the man continued, "The rent at the rescue station is very cheap, and you can even pay on credit. You should find a place to stay first. I heard you're a space expert? Finding a job should be easy. If you're interested, you can join our team."
"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the captain of the Black Panther Squad, Zheng Yuanqing."
Lu Ming replied listlessly, "My name is Youyou."
"So are you going to rent a house? I'll take you there."
"No, thank you, go ahead and do your work."
Zheng Yuanqing raised his eyebrows. "Okay. Our team lives in Room 401, Building 5, Lian Villa, in the central area. If you need anything, you can always come to me."
"Yes, thank you."
Zheng Yuanqing nodded at her, turned and left.
Lu Ming sighed and slowly walked towards the hotel where they were staying.
When we got there, we saw that the hotel was still the same, but a wall had been built around it, enclosing the hotel and the central building, and there were people guarding the door.
She grabbed a random older woman and asked her, "Excuse me, what is this place?"
"New here, right? This is where the senior management of our rescue station works and lives. Don't barge in here or you'll get arrested."
"Then, do you know if there's anyone called Chaoyang Squad or someone with the surname Gu among the higher-ups?"
"I've never heard of them. Where did you hear these names?"
Lu Ming felt discouraged and was too lazy to answer. He just thanked her and walked away silently.
The elder sister looked at her back strangely, then turned and left.
On the other side, Zheng Yuanqing returned to Lian, unlocked the door with the fingerprint lock, and walked in.
When the other teammates heard him coming back, they all greeted him, "Captain Zheng, you're back?"
"Um."
"Captain Zheng, come and have dinner."
"good."
At the dinner table, everyone was eating and chatting when Jiang Xia, who was standing next to them, suddenly asked, "Hey, Captain Zheng, what kind of superpower does that girl have?"
"Space system."
"Wow, it's actually a space type, how rare."
After hearing this, the teammates were all amazed.
Jiang Xia was even more puzzled and asked, "No way? Then her teammates lied to her."
Zheng Yuanqing raised his eyebrows, "She has teammates?"
"Yeah, she said she got separated from her teammates, and they told her to go to a base I haven't heard of."
"What base?"
"What's his name, Yang?" Jiang Xia thought for a moment, but couldn't remember. Lin Cheng next to him interrupted, "Chaoyang."
"Oh, yes, Chaoyang Base! Where is this base?"
However, to Jiang Xia's surprise, Zheng Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course there is."
"Huh?" All the team members turned to look at him. "Is this base really there?"
Zheng Yuanqing nodded and said, "It's the predecessor of Lucheng, which you admire the most. Moreover, this is their original base."
"What?! It was here before?! It's over, it's over." Jiang Xia covered his face and wailed.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Cheng rolled his eyes and said to Zheng Yuanqing, "He told the girl he didn't have it, and even asked if her teammates had deliberately lied to her, thinking they were actually trying to get rid of her. The girl was heartbroken when she heard that."
Zheng Yuanqing understood, no wonder she looked so depressed.
He thought about it and decided that he should tell her about it.
So he stood up and said to his teammates, "I'm going to go out, you guys take your time eating."
"Eh? Where are you going so late, Captain?"
Zheng Yuanqing waved his hand, signaling them not to bother, and walked out without saying anything.
He first came to the place where the two had parted, looked around, and didn't find anyone. Then he pondered for a moment and walked towards the central building.
Sure enough, what he thought was right. On the street not far from the central building, he saw the little girl sitting on a very tall tree in a daze.
