Through this man's memories, Xia Chuhe saw her father's life story.
Lu Xingyi was born at the Dongshui Base and is the son of a mid-level manager. He awakened his superpower, Purification, at the age of fourteen and joined the reserve army at fifteen.
Although his superpower is unique, it is not powerful, and the things he can purify are very limited; he can purify water faster than a machine can.
His resume wasn't particularly impressive; most of the time, he was just a logistics soldier, helping everyone with food and water. Until he was sixteen, he had only participated in a few simple dungeons with the main force.
If he had followed this path in life, Lu Xingyi would probably have become an ordinary mid-level manager at a base, just like his father.
However, after running a dungeon with the main group, he suddenly disappeared without a trace. According to his teammates, Lu Xingyi encountered a powerful woman in the dungeon, and the two seemed to become friends.
A year later, the base was able to locate Lu Xingyi again. By then, he had joined an organization called Xinghuo, and his superpowers had been greatly enhanced.
The base did not have a complete grasp of Lu Xingyi's experiences afterward, which is why his imitators made so many mistakes.
Until six months ago, "Lu Xingyi" was suddenly pulled in for another operation. This time, his hands had many small, old scars, like marks from years of labor.
At the same time, the project leader also provided him with a lot of new information and behavioral guidelines to remember and emulate.
...
Six months ago, it was during the time when Xia Chuhe's parents went missing.
Now, Xia Chuhe understands that not only are the memories of these two people fake, but their physical bodies are also fake.
However, faced with faces that were indistinguishable from her biological parents, she simply couldn't bring herself to be ruthless.
The woman next to her, "Xia Qingxue," frantically gestured to Xia Chuhe with her eyes, and Xia Chuhe untied the cloth from her mouth.
Xia Qingxue asked, "I know I can't hide it from you for long, but you found out too quickly. How did you... never mind."
“You know, in the process of imitating her, I really studied how to love you for a very long time, and I studied it very hard.”
Xia Qingxue smiled and said, "Child, stay away from me. Remember, your parents really love you. No matter what others say to you, please remember that."
Her expression was truly kind, just like Xia Chuhe's mother. Xia Chuhe's eyes stung, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
Xia Qingxue suddenly stood up, slammed into Xia Chuhe, and then turned around and pressed down on Lu Xingyi.
Xia Chuhe was stunned and didn't know how to react.
The next second, a muffled explosion rang out, and bits of flesh splattered onto Xia Chuhe's face. She blankly reached out her hand, and a strand of her hair, burned and bent, fell into Xia Chuhe's hand.
Xia Qingxue's head and neck exploded, and Lu Xingyi, who was being pinned down by her, was also blown to pieces.
Xia Chuhe felt Lu Xingyi's pulse at the neck; he was dead.
They are all dead.
...
Xia Chuhe walked out of the yard in a daze, his mind still racing uncontrollably.
Was Lu Xingyi taken away for surgery for the last time half a year ago because the higher-ups captured her parents?
If that's the case, are her parents doing well now?
What do the people at the top really want after all that preparation? Why can't we just talk to her directly?
Xia Chuhe pushed open the gate to the courtyard, where Lu Dangui was waiting.
Lu Dangui wiped the blood from Xia Chuhe's face, her eyes filled with worry: "Are you alright?"
Xia Chuhe shook his head listlessly.
Lu Danggui put something in her mouth; it was sweet, milky, and somewhat familiar.
The milk candy slowly melted, its comforting sweetness filling Xia Chuhe's mouth. She finally remembered that it tasted like Want Want Milk Candy. Even though she had only been away from modern society for half a year, many things had become blurry.
Xia Chuhe mumbled, "Where did this candy come from?"
"This is what you gave me before." Lu Dangui led her towards his courtyard. "Li Yue said that eating sweets makes people feel happy. Are you feeling any better now?"
Xia Chuhe said slowly, "There's only one left, you won't get any more."
"It's okay, there will be other delicious food later."
...
It took Xia Chuhe a whole day to recover.
Although the others did not know the details, they knew that Xia Chuhe had encountered some trouble, so they did not ask her about leaving the base.
It wasn't until Sister Diao came out of the farm that Xia Chuhe finally mustered the energy to deal with the current situation.
"Have you told anyone else about the farm?" Sister Diao had been to the farm many times. Xia Chuhe could keep it from everyone else, but he couldn't hide it from her.
While others only know that Xia Chuhe's space can support living things, Diao Jie can see the ever-increasing land, crops, and factories on the farm.
"No, I didn't tell Xin Diao either." Sister Diao squinted, looking lazy.
How have you been feeling lately?
"Just like that, barely surviving." Sister Diao lay on Xia Chuhe's bed without any hesitation. "It doesn't matter if I die, I'm afraid that if I die, she won't be able to live either."
Xia Chuhe remained silent, a heavy sense of powerlessness engulfing her. It was always like this; every time, she felt utterly helpless. Xia Chuhe hated this feeling.
Sister Diao didn't expect Xia Chuhe to do anything: "Alright, go do your thing. Just have her come pick me up. We'll figure something out. If all else fails, there's always the lighthouse route, isn't there? Don't worry."
Xia Chuhe contacted Xin Diao.
Then she saw a message Du Zhen sent her yesterday: Are you leaving the base?
Du Zhen was too perceptive; she guessed the truth from a casual remark made by Xia Chuhe.
