As Bai Shuang and Lu Yu came out of the office, they heard someone call out, "Goddess Sister."
She looked up and saw a familiar figure rushing towards her.
"Goddess sister, goddess sister!"
Upon hearing this title, Bai Shuang thought of that goofy soldier, who had a childlike personality, somewhat similar to Bai Jiu.
He was also a fox cub, Bai Shuang had heard Lu Yu mention it before.
He was the local guide Lu Yu found during a mission; he was diligent, quick-witted, and had a pure heart.
When the mission ended, he grinned foolishly and asked Lu Yu, "Can I take some with me?"
Seeing that he was also helpless and alone, Lu Yu nodded in agreement without hesitation.
From then on, the military camp became his home and his everything.
Although he was about the same age as Bai Shuang and the others, he seemed to have a kind of filial piety towards Lu Yu, who brought him back, and towards Bai Shuang, who helped them several times later.
Bai Shuang and the others looked at him. The person in front of them was darker and thinner than before, and looked much older than before the storm, but his personality was still as lively as ever.
He held a large conch shell in his hands and handed it to Bai Shuang.
"Goddess sister, look what this is!"
Bai Shuang took the seashell. "It's so beautiful and so big. Where did you bring it back from?"
"I wonder where that place is..."
The ellipsoid disintegrated, and their large submarine cabin drifted aimlessly, searching for their compatriots, but they could never find them.
Later, Deputy Commander Zhu and Division Commander Cao decided that, in order to save energy, they should just go with the flow and drift wherever the current takes them.
A year later, food supplies on the submarine were running low, and they dared not let everyone eat their fill.
There were many people in the camp, but they were not getting enough to eat, and the food was being consumed day by day, constantly decreasing.
At that time, there were robbers everywhere. Starving foreigners would rob anyone they saw and frequently got into conflicts with people.
They have a large number of people and are equipped with weapons, so small investors don't need to worry. The real concern is encountering a large-scale force that might take a liking to their submarine property.
That would be a large-scale war, and the number of weapons was limited, so they had to be used sparingly, as every one used was one less available.
When they encountered opponents with little weaponry, they resorted to hand-to-hand combat, which often resulted in soldiers being injured or killed.
At that time, they were all confused, wondering when they would be able to keep drifting.
The leader noticed that everyone was in low spirits, so when the weather was nice, he opened the lid and let everyone go out to sunbathe, fish, or something similar.
Although you can't eat things from the sea, that doesn't stop you from fishing for fun, looking at the shapes of mutated creatures, and having some fun.
That conch was caught during that time.
His comrade was about to throw it away, but he saw it was nice and kept it.
At the time, my comrades said, "It's neither food nor clothing, what's the point of keeping it these days?"
He thought to himself that if he could make it back alive, he would give this to the goddess sister as a way of repaying her kindness.
He clearly remembered that year in Tangcheng, he and his comrades were infected with the plague, and comrades died every day. He thought that he would not escape it either.
In my daze, I saw a fairy healing me...
He had always wanted to repay her kindness, but he never had the chance, and it was always the fairy sister who helped them.
When the army camp was running low on food and the soldiers were starving, the fairy suggested that they plant potatoes and vegetables on the hillside.
Not only did they harvest a lot of grains and vegetables, but they also spent a happy time with the goddess sister and Bai Jiu...
The happiest time of his life was when the goddess sister came to the military camp and cooked with them.
She is a ray of light in the apocalypse; I always think of her in moments of despair.
Later, they finally heard news of the Huaxia base, and everyone wept with joy.
At the time, everyone thought that the Huaxia base was established by Elder Lu.
But he said, "It must be the goddess and General Lu who created this home for everyone."
At the time, one of his comrades even made a bet with him...
Coming to her senses, Bai Shuang asked him, "Have you eaten? Is there anything you need?"
He smiled and said, "I've eaten, so you don't need to worry, sister. Now that we're home, everything will be fine."
His optimism and sunny disposition make people happy just by seeing him.
Bai Shuang smiled and nodded, put the shell away, took out a pair of sneakers from her backpack and handed them to him, "I see your shoes are worn out, put these on."
Since you're calling me "sister," just tell me if you need anything in the future.
"This is far too valuable!"
Lu Yu: "Here you go, take it."
Back home, Bai Shuang asked Bai Jiu, "I heard that the two ships that came back with those two ships were from the Tang City base?"
"Yes, miss."
"Find their personnel list and show it to me."
She wanted to find a familiar name.
When Bai Shuang saw the list of Tangcheng Base, which had fewer than one hundred people, she still felt a strange pang in her heart.
She hadn't experienced other places firsthand, but Tangcheng was her hometown.
Before the disaster, Qin Province had a population of nearly 40 million, and Tang City alone had a population of over 10 million. Now…
Now there are fewer than a hundred people left on the list? Maybe that's all that's left in the entire province!
The terrible natural disaster raged for a full ten years!
Bai Shuang finally saw a familiar name on the list: Yu Wenwen. Thankfully, she was still alive.
Then, Bai Shuang prepared to go see them.
Lu Yu: "I'll go with you."
There's a high-ranking leader at the Tangcheng base there named Qin Yuan. Before the disaster, he was a provincial-level leader; he's a good person. You could consider arranging a position for him.
Bai Shuang thought for a moment, "Since he's a good person and has plenty of leadership experience, let's make him my assistant for now."
Let's leave the deputy base commander's position vacant for now and talk about it later. If we put someone in there rashly, it will be difficult to remove them later.
Those people are still living on the ship for the time being; otherwise, they would have had to live in tents.
The bricks and tiles for the site have just been successfully fired in trial runs, and the lime is still being tested in trial runs, but construction has not yet begun.
We currently lack cement, but we have found limestone and clay, though we don't have iron ore powder.
However, you can first mix lime and sand to make an adhesive. Obviously, it is not as sticky as cement, but it is still acceptable as long as you don't build high-rise buildings and build ordinary brick and tile houses.
We'll have to rely on those saplings for timber.
The site has been established for too short a time, and the conditions for building houses are not yet met.
The current residential area consists entirely of submarine houses of various sizes from the Kyoto base. They are comfortable, beautiful, and fully equipped. Luckily, Bai Shuang bought a few extra units back then.
Even if Mr. Ling and his engineering technicians return now, there will be no metal materials available.
Bai Shuang and Lu Yu arrived at the ship where they were staying. When the staff saw that the commander and the base commander had arrived, they hurriedly came over to salute and greet them.
Hearing that people had come to visit, he ran in to greet them.
"Brother Lu, Miss Bai, I never thought we would meet again in this life."
