The return to the space occurred two years after the events of that time.
In just two years, the landscape of the alliance has changed dramatically.
Without physical constraints, many o bravely stepped out of their homes and took on b's work, while b cooperated with a to participate in more complex and detailed tasks, freeing up some a to enter the war zone and more effectively strike the Zerg.
The league's manpower shortage problem has been greatly alleviated. Among them, Moore, Katie and Zhou Mo deserve the most credit, but strangely, everyone seems more willing to attribute this achievement to Shi Lan.
Perhaps because they were both O, everyone treated Shi Lan very kindly, while Moore and others did not receive such treatment, even though they had become the backbone of the research institute and worked tirelessly to continue upgrading the antibody.
Shi Lan held a nominal position in the alliance, whose main task was to act as a liaison between A and B, communicating with these O members to help them better integrate into the group.
By chance, Shi Lan met Terry, who was missing an arm and a leg, on the road. She heard that he had retired from the front line and was dismissed from his military post for desertion. Now he was unemployed at home.
His family felt he had brought shame to the family and discussed whether to expel him.
Shi Lan glanced at it lightly, indifferent as if looking at a mere fallen leaf, and after a moment, she turned her eyes away, walking away gracefully and calmly. (Latest and fastest updates, free reading)
Terry stared at Shi Lan's retreating figure, his face deathly pale. For a moment, he was bewildered as to why he had been reborn.
He didn't understand. Since God was willing to give him a chance, why not sooner? Why wait until the two of them were trapped by the insectoids before letting him know the ending of his previous life? He just didn't want to die there, so why did he have to end up like this?
And then there's Lan. In their previous life, they all died there. Without his help this time, she should have died even faster. Why did she come back to life and become a hero?
He should be the hero who saved the league from its losses, and he deserves the awards from the military academy and the league.
Terry muttered to himself, walking aimlessly. People occasionally passed by, but he would give them disgusted glances and quickly move away.
Suddenly, the image above the space flashed and disappeared abruptly. Shi Lan blinked and sighed softly. Since there was a chance to live, why did she have to escape alone? Wouldn't it be better to escape together?
Shi Lan couldn't understand Terry's thoughts.
Haoze seemed to sense her confusion and said in a low voice, "Different people are born into different worlds; a person's true character can only be revealed at the most crucial moments."
Shi Lan looked at him intently, realizing that he was warning her to be wary of others and not to trust them too much.
Shi Lan nodded. Having seen so much of the world and experienced so many rights and wrongs, she felt this deeply.
When her physical instincts kicked in during the mission, she thought that given Moore's love and desire for her, he would definitely not let her go, even though she was practically in his mouth. However, he resisted the temptation and went to find Maria.
Therefore, it is sometimes really hard to distinguish between good and bad people. Sometimes people's eyes can be deceiving. Only by experiencing it firsthand can one truly understand the experience.
The image of the man who suddenly appeared when she was in a daze flashed through her mind. She bit her lower lip somewhat embarrassedly, using the pain to suppress the strange feeling that suddenly arose in her heart, but a hint of something still showed on her face.
Haoze's gaze swept over her blood-red lips and the vibrant blush on her cheeks. As if he had thought of something, a blush quickly rose on his fair, jade-like face, only to vanish in an instant.
"Shall we continue the mission?"
Shi Lan snapped out of her daze, nodded, and said, "Okay."
Haoze waved his sleeve, sending her away. Watching the vortex disappear, he stared blankly into the void, lost in thought.
In the world below, Shi Lan felt a splitting headache, her whole body was cold, and her entire back felt swollen and numb, as if she couldn't feel anything. But as soon as she moved slightly, she felt a tearing pain, and warm liquid slowly flowed out, wetting her back.
Shi Lan cried out in pain, but her voice was barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.
Shi Lan opened her eyes with difficulty. The room was dimly lit. She was lying on a large kang (a heated brick bed), with a quilt piled far away at her feet. At the end of the kang was a cabinet that was so broken it was practically falling apart. In the best spot by the window, there was a small table with peeling paint and missing legs. Not far away, a tattered and dirty dark red felt rug hung on the door, which was the brightest thing in the whole room.
There was no one in the room at the moment, and there seemed to be no sound outside. Having suffered from not accepting the memories in time several times, Shi Lan hurriedly seized the time to accept the memories.
A moment later, Shi Lan opened her eyes. To be honest, the original owner of this body had a very simple life. She had lived in this foreign-ruled territory for eight years, living in constant fear. Death was not a disaster for her. On the contrary, before she died, she actually hoped that she could live a better life in the next life, at least she wouldn't be whipped to death for not holding a teacup properly. At the same time, she was also very puzzled. She didn't know why her mother, who depended on her for survival, would say sorry to her before she died.
Recalling the days when the original owner didn't dare to lift her head and could only bend over, crawling at the feet of those barbarians who were either bald or had braids, and thinking of the expression on Chang Shi's face when she said those words, Shi Lan felt heavy-hearted.
Shi Lan's growth was forged through bloodshed and lessons learned. The original owner of the Chang family might not have understood the words of the Chang family because of her young age, but Shi Lan, who had experienced the world, could easily see through them.
The Chang family must be hiding some secret, and this secret clearly violates her conscience, which is why it has been weighing on her heart, making her feel extremely guilty. It wasn't until the original owner was dying that she couldn't hold back anymore, but in the end she only uttered some words of repentance. It is obvious that she is protecting something, and what she is protecting is even more important than the original owner she carried for ten months and raised for eight years.
Thinking of all this, Shi Lan let out a soft breath and began to consider how to deal with the Chang family.
The curtain was suddenly lifted, and a gust of cold wind blew in from the edge of the curtain. Shi Lan shuddered and quickly closed her eyes, trying to keep her breathing shallow.
Several soft footsteps approached, the blanket was gently lifted, and a cool breeze slipped in through her collar, causing her back to tense up and she to shiver uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the blanket only moved slightly, and after checking the wound, it was quickly covered again, and a somewhat rough hand gently stroked her cheek.
Shi Lan remained motionless, seemingly oblivious. After a while, a sigh suddenly came from beside her. The woman's voice was filled with guilt and pity. "Lan Ya, your mother has begged the Kitchen Goddess. Bo Gu said that as long as you can make it through tomorrow, the Kitchen Goddess will send a doctor to treat you." She placed her hand on Shi Lan's cheek and said softly, "Lan Ya, just hold on a little longer. As long as you get through tonight, you will be saved."
Shi Lan didn't move, but inwardly she wanted to curse. She was already burning up; if the fever continued, she might die. Her mother was really something else. If she didn't have medicine, she could at least have gotten her some water to cool her down.
