Chapter 590: Mist. Infinite Possibilities in the Future
As they were talking, the three of them came to the third floor. Chu An chose a position close to the east and could see the direction of the shelter through the window.
"Then you should have a good rest. I will take you to the shelter later and bring Duoduo back by the way." Li Qing said.
The five people who had been in a meeting all night yesterday all tried to catch up on their sleep, but in the end only Chu An and Gu Ye fell asleep.
Li Qing's blood boiled at the thought of building the base, and so did Gangzi and Shen Changyuan. If this was accomplished, they would bring honor to their families.
Li Qing couldn't sleep, so he came out to find Su Ye. Together they went to count the supplies and see how much stock they had left.
Su Ye's leg never healed, and he was depressed for a while. Later, when everyone fled together, Li Qing gave the supplies to him for safekeeping. He no longer had time to be sad, and he had endless work to do every day.
Gangzi found Jiang Tuo. Jiang Tuo had always led his team. If he was responsible for security, it would be best to find Jiang Tuo as his partner.
Shen Changyuan never hired workers, only subordinates. He called Big Nose and Sprinter together to discuss what standards should be followed.
Old Chu had nothing to do, and when he saw Shen Changyuan and the other two squatting at the door mumbling, he came over to help them think of a solution. After a while, Wang Guan also came out, and the five of them gathered together to play crickets.
After Chu An fell asleep, he entered the space.
Grandma Xia had just finished testing the composition of the fog and said that the fog at the edge of Qing City was the same as that at Yilian Mountain. However, this time, a very small flying insect was found in the poisonous gas, which was ten times smaller than that at Fairy Peak.
Chu An was surprised that the body length of the Fairy Peak was only 200μm.
"Grandma Xia, is this insect also poisonous?" Chu An asked.
"Not only is it poisonous, it's highly toxic. Those who became manic were inhaling it while breathing in the poisonous mist."
"Will Ulandu's snake venom have any effect on it?"
"It has a certain effect, but it can only put them to sleep, not eliminate them." Grandma Xia sighed, "I have never seen such a tenacious flying insect. I have used thousands of viruses and bacteria but have not found its flaw. But don't worry, I still have hundreds of thousands of methods, it just takes time to verify them one by one."
The corners of Chu An's mouth twitched. No matter who you mess with, you must not mess with Grandma Xia. There are hundreds of thousands of ways for her to die. It's terrifying just to think about it.
"By the way, I gave it a name, Doomsday No. 5."
Apocalypse No. 1 is fog, Apocalypse No. 2 is Ulandu venom, Apocalypse No. 3 is spider venom, and Apocalypse No. 4 is M and F developed by Dr. Zhao.
Grandpa Gao praised her, saying what a nice and powerful name it was. Grandma Xia looked a little proud, saying it was just an ordinary name.
"By the way, Xiao An, you don't have to worry about them. Their activities are limited to the fog."
Chu An finally felt relieved, and she went to find Wang Ce again, hoping that he could prepare more antidotes, and make 10,000 copies first.
"Ten thousand copies?" Wang Ce looked over intently, "You want to sell them?"
Chu An told everyone about the construction of the base. There was nothing to hide. Unexpectedly, everyone supported her, especially Grandpa Gao.
"Xiao An, I will definitely help you design the blueprint. This is a great thing."
Guo Changren also said he could help, "I learned a lot from Uncle Gao."
Chu An could guess what they were thinking. There were constant disasters outside, and people were starving everywhere. The food in the space could not be eaten up at all. After a long time, it was inevitable that they would feel compassion.
But she knew that this was not an act of excessive sympathy or saintliness, because they never asked her to do anything, not even in a roundabout way, but simply because they were good people.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.
Shen Xun, "Since the shelter needs to be evacuated, you can take over directly, which can save a lot of time."
"I thought so too. I'll go check it out later."
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, she slowly opened her eyes and saw the yellow and moldy ceiling and rows of broken incandescent bulbs.
She stood up and felt her back stiff and sore. She rubbed it and it still hurt. She looked down at the iron bed made of desks and laughed at herself for being so delicate.
She jumped out of bed and stretched her shoulders despite the pain. She heard some movement beside her. It was Gu Ye who had also gotten up.
She and Gu Ye opened the door almost at the same time and smiled at each other.
"Let's go and check out the shelter." Gu Ye said.
"Okay, but wait a moment, come to my room." Chu An said.
Gu Ye thought she was going to get her luggage, so he followed her in. There was nothing else in the room except a simple bed. Then he remembered to ask, "What's wrong, Xiao An?"
Chu An closed the door. There was no lock, so he just closed it tightly.
"I want to talk to you." Chu An said.
Gu Ye stood up straight with a tense face. Xiao An had never spoken to him so seriously before.
"Don't be nervous, this is just... a casual chat." Chu An sat on the bed and asked him to sit down. Gu Ye refused to sit down and just stood opposite her, looking at her, his almond-shaped eyes a little wet.
"Xiao An, do you want me to stay and follow Brother Qing?" he asked timidly.
Chu An raised his eyebrows. He had never thought about this before. "Why do you think so?"
"I...I don't know either." Gu Ye pursed his lips. He felt very uncomfortable and even his stomach hurt a little.
Chu An's heart suddenly tightened. In the past, when she saw Gu Ye being wronged, she was very angry and wanted to help him get revenge and kill those bad guys immediately. But now, seeing him being wronged, she felt a little depressed.
"Come and sit here."
Chu An forced him to sit over, but the big dog hung his head, lifeless.
"I don't want to be separated from you, Xiao An." Gu Ye whispered, "But you have found your father and brother, and you have a family. I can't monopolize you anymore. If you want to leave with your family, I...I will respect you."
"Hey..." Chu An really wanted to ask him what his plans were for the future, but he didn't think of breaking up immediately.
She would not live in the base. After she settled the matter with Li Yutang, she would find a remote place, build three large tiled houses, and live a quiet life.
The reason why she wanted to ask him today was because she had felt everyone's yearning for the base in the past few days. Moreover, in the past two years, she seemed to have never asked Gu Ye where he wanted to live.
“Gu Ye, I think it’s highly unlikely that Lao Chu will go with me, and Brother Mou Ci also has his own life, I can’t tie them down by my side.
Just like Yin Shao and Zhuona in City C, they all have their own social circles. All I can do is give them some supplies and help them at critical moments, but I cannot decide their lives. "
She looked at Gu Ye. Although she was used to him accompanying her and liked him accompanying her, "Similarly, I can't decide your life. You are not yet eighteen years old, and the future has infinite possibilities."
"There is only one possibility for my future, which is to accompany you forever." Gu Ye suddenly stood up, then knelt on one knee in front of Chu An, and said very seriously, "Maybe we can just be classmates, partners, or neighbors... But no matter what we do, there is only this possibility."
He just fell into self-denial for a moment, but fortunately he has been actively working on self-healing in the past two years. "I know I have many shortcomings, I am careless and don't like to study, but I also have advantages... Hmm? I can't think of them at the moment, but I..."
"That's enough." Chu An interrupted him. She didn't have any special requirements for love, and she didn't like nagging. She admitted it openly after seeing her heart clearly. "From today on, you only belong to me. After I finish these things, we will find a better place to live."
Gu Ye's eyes were bright, more beautiful than the stars, and her smile became a crescent shape, but the two of them just sat on the bed holding hands for a while.
Oh, and we have to go to the shelter.
