Chapter 175 The Message in the Book
When Lu Yuanze was in his office worrying about the distribution of supplies at the base, there was a sudden commotion outside the window, and someone shouted in surprise:
"Look! Isn't that Commander Yan?!"
He suddenly stood up, opened the window and looked down. Sure enough, the familiar figure was walking across the square towards the command building.
Behind her, there was a tall man with an outstanding appearance.
Lu Yuanze's pupils shrank.
Is that...Gu Qinyuan?
He actually came back to life?
Without time to think about it, Lu Yuanze quickly turned around and rushed downstairs, almost running to Yan Chu. He steadied his breathing, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Qinyuan.
Gu Qinyuan stood quietly half a step behind Yan Chu, his figure still upright and his appearance still eye-catching.
But those eyes that were once deep and dark, or only showed tenderness to Yan Chu, now looked back at him calmly like dusty glass.
There was a complete strangeness and a subtle scrutiny inside.
This look was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing Lu Yuanze's surging emotions.
His Adam's apple rolled, and he looked at Yan Chu hesitantly: "Yan Chu, he..."
Yan Chu's voice was soft but clear: "He survived, but at the cost of amnesia. He doesn't remember anything."
She paused, took a step closer to Lu Yuanze, and said in a low voice, "Don't tell him...about his previous relationship with me."
Lu Yuanze's heart sank suddenly.
Amnesia? Did even Yan Chu forget everything?
An indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He didn't dare to imagine what kind of mood Yan Chu was in when she said this. This was almost the cruelest ending for her.
However, beneath this emotion, a secret thought that even he himself was ashamed of quietly emerged.
If everything returns to zero, then... is there any tiny possibility that I... can survive?
However, this thought of taking advantage of the situation made him instantly disgusted with himself, and his face became even uglier.
At this time, Su Su also heard the news and rushed over.
She was just about to greet Yan Chu with a smile, but the moment her eyes met Gu Qinyuan, she froze, her face full of disbelief.
Her perceptual ability clearly told her that the Gu Qinyuan in front of her was actually a completely human being.
There was no trace of zombie on him.
Zombies... can actually turn back into humans?
Although she was deeply shocked, Su Su finally suppressed her doubts and said to Yan Chu with a smile, "While you were away, I improved my cooking skills with the cafeteria aunt. Would you like to try my cooking tonight?"
Yan Chu thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
In the evening, several people were having dinner in a small cubicle in the cafeteria. In addition to the four of them, Hu Zi, who heard the news, also came excitedly.
As several people were sitting together eating, Hu Zi tasted the braised pork made by Su Shu and blurted out, "Hmm! Delicious! But it's still a little bit worse than Brother Gu's cooking. His cooking is truly amazing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the dinner table fell silent.
Gu Qinyuan, who was named, raised his head, with a hint of confusion in his eyes:
"I...can cook?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Yan Chu's grip on the chopsticks tightened slightly, then he lowered his eyes and stared silently at the rice in the bowl.
Hu Zi finally realized what he had said. His face turned pale, and he hurriedly laughed to change the subject: "Ahahaha... Well, when you were away, Yan Chu, Brother Lu was incredibly busy. Being the acting commander may seem glamorous, but it's actually a ton of trouble. It's simply not a job for a human! Now that you're back, he can finally be free!"
Everyone's eyes turned to Yan Chu, thinking that she would take back the command.
However, she shook her head and said calmly, "No, you should continue to manage it."
Lu Yuanze was completely stunned. He put down his chopsticks and asked in confusion, "Why? Yan Chu, you're back. All of this was originally yours."
Yan Chu remained silent.
She couldn't say it because she was about to complete her mission and then leave this world completely.
Rather than leaving the base to the replacement NPC who was stuffed into this body after she left, it would be better to leave it to Lu Yuanze, whom she trusted more.
She smiled faintly: "Because I'm tired of it and don't want to care about these things anymore."
Lu Yuanze looked at her deeply.
Regardless of whether this was true or not, her eyes were indeed full of fatigue.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Yuanze agreed immediately.
Since she wanted to take a rest, he would take over the management for her. If Yan Chu ever regained interest again one day, he would return everything to her.
As the night deepened, the dinner ended in a subtle atmosphere.
After everyone left, Gu Qinyuan looked at Yan Chu. His attitude was polite but distant. "Excuse me, where is my room?"
Yan Chu was silent for a moment before he softly replied, "Follow me."
Instead of taking him back to the room full of memories they once shared, she took him to a brand new alloy cabin on the other side of the base.
It was clean and tidy, yet also cold and unfamiliar, with no signs of life whatsoever.
"You can stay here for the time being."
Yan Chu said, his eyes swept across his still handsome face, but ultimately did not stop.
Since I am destined to leave, why should I let him know about the past?
Just like that, as Gu Qinyuan, as a brand new human being, she will live peacefully in this base that she has guarded with all her heart.
And she will walk to the end of the story alone with all her memories.
When they returned to their real room, Yan Chu's eyes subconsciously fell on the sofa on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling window.
There were a few books scattered on it.
Yan Chu walked over and picked up one of the books. The title of the book was "Journey of the Soul".
In the past, when she came back, Gu Qinyuan always sat there lazily, flipping through these boring books in a lazy manner.
I don't know why he likes watching these.
Yan Chu picked up the book "Journey of the Soul" and flipped through it casually, and suddenly found that a page in the book was folded.
She turned to the folded page and saw a few lines of words circled on it -
The soul is a kind of energy, and "love" is the only law in the soul world. On the road of soul reincarnation, only "love" is the password to pass.
Yan Chu's fingertips stroked the ink circles on the pages of the book. Every word was like a red-hot brand, burning into her heart.
She murmured these words, but a trace of doubt emerged in her mind.
Since energy cannot disappear out of thin air, it can only be transferred or transformed.
Where did that part of the zombie king's soul energy and Gu Qinyuan's consciousness that had reincarnated seven times go?
Is it true that just because of one resurrection, everything evaporates like water vapor?
Now, Gu Qinyuan, who has lost all his memories, looks the same and has a warm heartbeat, but she always feels that there is an invisible membrane between them, and she cannot touch the real soul inside.
That didn't look like the Gu Qinyuan she was familiar with, but more like a hollow replica.
No...something must be wrong.
