Chapter 117: Parting on good terms

As soon as Shen Linglan finished speaking, she saw Zhang Shengnan's hand, which was wiping away tears, suddenly stop. She crumpled the paper ball in her palm and asked Shen Linglan in disbelief, "Yue'er is still alive!?"

"Yes. But she is not in the same world as us."

"What…?"

Zhang Shengnan looked at Shen Linglan with doubt, then lowered her eyes, "She is indeed not in the same world as us."

"no……"

Zhang Shengnan's expression seemed to indicate that she thought the other world Shen Linglan was talking about was "Paradise", but that was not what Shen Linglan meant.

She wanted Zhang Shengnan to call Lin Xiaoyue immediately, but Lin Xiaoyue was not in L base. Even if Zhao Yunduo went to communicate with Y city base immediately, Connie would not let her communicate with Lin Xiaoyue.

These words suddenly seemed like empty talk.

Zhao Yunduo racked his brains for a moment and suddenly said, "The recording from the last experiment was made by Lin Xiaoyue. Ask her if she can tell the difference."

As she spoke, she ran into the radio studio, tuned into the channel of the Y City base, and left a message for Connie, asking him to reply to her early the next morning.

Zhao Yunduo knew that no matter whether Zhang Shengnan believed it or not, once she recruited Lin Xiaoyue as her partner and they had a video chat, all her suspicions would disappear.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Zhao Yunduo really received a message from Connie early in the morning. She ran to the radio studio in two steps, only to find out that Connie was not looking for her because of the news last night.

"Yun Duo, Mr. K is angry. He puts pressure on the P City Base and says he will deal with the people in the P City Base!"

Zhao Yunduo's face was full of questions, "Why?"

"I don't know, but it's said to be related to falsely claiming mission rewards. We were a step behind in arriving at P City, and the lackeys around Mr. K said we were too late. Now they come to us and ask us if we completed the mission that day. How dare we falsely claim it? We can only say no."

"Then what about the claim by P City?" Zhao Yunduo never clarified from beginning to end that this mission was completed by himself, so how could Mr. K know that the mission was not completed by the P City base?

In other words, whether the mission is completed in P City actually has an impact on Mr. K?

She was thinking wildly, and Connie over there had no idea what was going on. "Anyway, Mr. K told us that either we can identify the real hero this time, or the P City base will pay the price."

"What do they say at the P City base?"

I remember that day, someone had seen Zhao Yunduo and a few others. The man exuded the temperament of a scoundrel from beginning to end. His name seemed to be... Tiger?

Before Zhao Yunduo could remember, Connie said, "Sun Jiahu from the P City base seems to have seen you?"

"Yeah." It turned out to be Sun Jiahu. Zhao Yunduo nodded.

"He told Mr. K that it was three women who completed the mission. He also said that the three women were dressed very neatly and each one was prettier than the other." Connie couldn't help laughing when talking about what he heard that day. "When Mr. K heard him say that, he slapped him in the face and said that in the end times there are no clean women, not even three! And how could women alone complete the mission?"

Sun Jiahu couldn't explain what happened, and both of his legs were broken by Mr. K!

"I heard that if you don't come up with the answer by tomorrow, Sun Jiahu will be shot."

Zhao Yunduo was puzzled. "It's enough to complete the task. Does it matter who completed it?"

"That's right!" Connie slapped his thigh, also feeling very strange, "The mission is completed, isn't it? As long as the P city base claims it, then the reward should be given to P city. I used to think that Mr. K was a bodhisattva, but now why do I feel that he has inexplicable selfish motives..."

Connie muttered a few words and shook his head. "Forget it, forget it. Anyway, as long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, no one will know that you completed the task. I won't take it either. I really can't take this turbulent journey!"

He sighed, as if remembering something, and asked Zhao Yunduo, "By the way, I received your message. What's the matter that made you so anxious to find me?"

Zhao Yunduo thought of Lin Xiaoyue and said seriously, "Connie, I can fulfill one of your wishes. No matter what supplies you want, I can give you one. But I need you to send Lin Xiaoyue to L Base."

"Ah!? You haven't given up on Xiaoyue yet?" Connie laughed. "Your offer is very tempting. I also want to airlift Xiaoyue there. But she is alone and she doesn't want to go. I have to respect her personal wishes."

Zhao Yunduo: "Call Lin Xiaoyue over. I can make her willingly follow me with just three sentences."

Connie didn't believe it. After hearing what Zhao Yunduo said, he felt like winning and immediately asked someone to call Lin Xiaoyue over.

After Lin Xiaoyue arrived, Zhao Yunduo couldn't even say three sentences. He only said two sentences: "Xiaoyue, I found your teacher Zhang Shengnan. You can see her when you come to L Base."

Connie, who was originally confident of winning, saw the light in Lin Xiaoyue's eyes and asked Zhao Yunduo, "Really?!"

"real!"

After receiving a positive answer, Lin Xiaoyue immediately stood up and prepared to pack her luggage without any doubt.

"No... Xiaoyue, you haven't asked me if I agree or not."

Connie grabbed Lin Xiaoyue's sleeve, but she didn't expect Lin Xiaoyue to look up at Connie with a firm look in her eyes. "Connie, thank you for taking care of me for so long. I don't owe you anything. I have done enough for the Y City Base. I hope we can part ways in peace."

Indeed, Lin Xiaoyue’s contribution to the Y City Base is no less than that of the base itself. Now the base can grow its own vegetables. Although the soil purifier was given to them by Zhao Yunduo, Lin Xiaoyue’s contribution from beginning to end is also not small.

Later, she split and mixed the soil purifier according to the reagents, thus maximizing the scope of application of the purifier.

Her importance to the Y City Base is no less than that of Cui Zhende of the B City Base.

But Lin Xiaoyue was determined to leave, and Connie knew who she was talking about as a teacher, and also knew that was the reason why she had stayed in the Y City base.

That year, Connie picked up Lin Xiaoyue at the gate of Y City Base. She didn’t know what happened in the world, nor did she know why she was at the gate of the base. At that time, Connie just thought that she was seriously injured and lost her memory, so he took her in and stayed at Y City Base. So many years have passed in a flash...

Before Connie could even open his mouth, Lin Xiaoyue had already disappeared without a trace.

He angrily said to Zhao Yunduo, "You are amazing! Zhao Yunduo! You'd better find her teacher!"

"Of course it's true," Zhao Yunduo was different from him. She had a smile on her face. "Well, think about what supplies you need in Y City. I'm going to send someone to pick up Xiaoyue right away and deliver them to you. Otherwise, I don't know when we'll meet next time."

Connie was really reluctant and could only delay it for the time being, so he told Zhao Yunduo, "Wait for me for half an hour, I need to discuss this with my husband, Kang."
