Chapter 345: The Siege in the Apocalypse (The End)
As the apocalypse ended, many people with superpowers found that their abilities were slowly disappearing. Heaven finally withdrew its help to humanity, leaving humans to rebuild their homes using their own abilities.
The world is slowly beginning to restore order.
Year after year, the five-year period soon came to an end. Gu Yan returned to the place where Wen Wan died. He built a house there, planted all kinds of flowers around it, and then waited every day.
Sunrise and sunset.
"Don't lie to me about the five-year promise." Gu Yan said, holding the white crystal core.
Most of the crystal cores in the world have perished, and the few that remain have lost their power. Only the one left behind after Wen Wan's death remains unchanged, just as beautiful as when we first met.
He had lost contact with most of his old friends. He had been traveling for the past five years and had now become an ordinary person without any special abilities. His beard had grown and his hair had grown longer.
He has changed a lot in five years.
Countless times I questioned myself: why didn't I protect Wen Wan back then? Why did I believe such illogical things?
Where can anyone be brought back to life after death?
"elder brother."
Suddenly, a cute little child ran over and handed Gu Yan a bunch of sunflowers.
"Why are you giving me this?" Gu Yan asked.
“My brother looked very sad. A pretty older sister asked me to give him some money. She said she was back.”
Gu Yan's eyes widened, and he stood up. "Where is that older sister?"
The child pointed in a direction, "Over there, she said she'll only wait for you for a minute, and if you don't make it, she'll leave."
Gu Yan: "..."
Gu Yan quickly ran in that direction, using all his strength.
He saw a stunning figure from behind, wearing a bright yellow dress and holding a bunch of sunflowers.
He slowly walked over, his heart filled with a mixture of fear and joy.
Is this a hallucination?
How could this be true?
But what if it's true?
"Wen Wan, is that you?"
The girl turned around, and Gu Yan's expectations were instantly dashed. This person didn't look like Wen Wan. He had been overthinking things.
It's time to wake up from this dream.
"Pfft~" Wen Wan laughed, looking at the distraught Gu Yan in front of her.
“I said that if you don’t recognize me when we meet again, I’ll leave. It seems I should go now, since you didn’t recognize me.”
Gu Yan: "!!!"
What's the meaning?
Gu Yan quickly grabbed the girl's hand as she turned around. "Wen Wan, is that you?"
"you guess."
Wen Wan fell into a warm embrace, then hugged back, "I'm back, I kept my promise."
"Also, thank you for waiting for me all this time."
...
Wen Wan is back. Five years is not a short time, but it has been too long for both of them.
Gu Yan was overjoyed, and he held Wen Wan's hand every day afterward. He even slept on a makeshift bed next to Wen Wan's bed at night, afraid that he would wake up the next day and find that it was all a dream.
It took a long time before Gu Yan finally believed that this was not his illusion, but that the person he had been waiting for had finally kept his promise and returned.
They got together.
Gu Yan returned to society and contacted his former brothers. Everyone had found their own place to go. They were all very happy to see Gu Yan, as they had originally thought they would never see their captain again in this lifetime.
Everyone was very familiar with Wen Wan. Wu Yong laughed and said, "So my sister-in-law wasn't disfigured! She's still so beautiful."
"You two have been having a good time, haven't contacted us for so long. We thought you'd forgotten about your brothers."
The pleasantries gradually masked the awkwardness of not seeing each other for so long. Brothers who have been through life and death together have a much deeper bond than ordinary friends.
Wen Wan also met Chu Mingyao, the female protagonist of this world. Chu Mingyao is now in a position of power, and her aura is even stronger than before. She is simply a modern-day strong woman.
Moreover, the somber aura that lingered around her also disappeared with the end of the apocalypse.
"Captain," Chu Mingyao called out.
Looking at Wen Wan, Wen Wan felt a little guilty. Although she knew that Chu Mingyao would not recognize that she had once replaced her sister, Wen Wan still subconsciously dared not meet Chu Mingyao's eyes.
Chu Mingyao looked at Wen Wan, her emotions not fluctuating much.
The gathering ended quickly. Chu Mingyao was very busy, so she left after saying a few words. Before leaving, she asked Gu Yan if he needed her to do any work for him, but Gu Yan shook his head.
He had spent so many years working for the end times, and for the rest of his days, he only wanted to travel around with Wen Wan. He didn't want to wield power or become an official.
Chu Mingyao felt a little regretful, but she didn't insist. Everyone has their own choices, and as long as there's no regret, it's a good choice.
Wu Yong and his group were also very busy. They left their contact information and said they would get together often in the future. Then they left.
Gu Yan tidied up the room that Wu Yong and his gang had messed up. "Don't you regret it?"
Wen Wan suddenly asked.
Gu Yan stopped. "Regret what? What do you mean?"
"You are clearly the greatest contributor to this world. All your subordinates have found good jobs, but you gave it all up. Don't you regret it?"
Gu Yan walked over to Wen Wan's side. "Whose fault is it?"
Wen Yu: "It's my fault."
"It's all because of that heartless guy who only came back to see me after five years. If he had come back earlier, I might have been able to get an official position."
Wen Yan: "..."
Five years—this wasn't her decision; it was that useless system's decision.
"I'm the one who feels wronged? I could have been free and left, but if you hadn't made it so touching, I wouldn't have bothered to come back to this terrible world."
Wen Wan was inexplicably aggrieved, so Gu Yan stopped teasing her and reached out to hug her.
"Honey, I was just kidding."
“How could I blame you? I never intended to become an official. Even without you, I would have left before the end of the world. I am grateful that you came into my life and occupied a very important place in my desolate and cruel life. I love you very much. You can doubt anything, but you cannot doubt this.”
"I like you very much too, I like you so much that I'm willing to stay in this world that I hate so much."
Thank you for staying.
The two stayed there for more than a month before leaving to travel the world. And it wasn't just for fun; they would occasionally help rescue some suffering people and sometimes help purify some zombie territories that hadn't been completely purified.
When they got old and could no longer walk, they found a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains and began their retirement.
Wen Wan watched as the world transformed from a scene of devastation to a better place, and people's faces were no longer filled with fear and numbness, but with happy smiles.
Wen Wan suddenly realized that this trashy world wasn't entirely without its merits.
She didn't regret staying, especially since she hadn't suffered much.
Humanity remembers Gu Yan; he is a great hero of mankind. They erected monuments for him, wrote books about him, and even fabricated countless miraculous biographies about his life. However, the regret of most people is that this savior left us when the world was at peace.
Spend time with your loved one.
Their love story has become something many young men and women aspire to.
