Extreme cold temperatures continue to drop, exceeding minus 100 degrees Celsius. The frigid weather has enveloped the entire post-apocalyptic world, and major bases are facing difficulties due to a lack of cold-weather supplies and food.
For more than three months, Junjue and Chen Fan have had almost no time to rest. They have been shuttling between J City, F City, N City, G City, and other places, doing their best to rescue the large base.
Finally, after a difficult rescue operation from the north to the south, they successfully rescued all the bases.
The two were exhausted and decided to rest for the night at the Yuge base in Xiyue before returning to the capital to get through the upcoming sub-zero temperatures.
Yuge Base is located in the south, and was once nestled against the mountains and by the water, as beautiful as a fairyland.
But now all the mountains are covered in ice and snow, and everywhere is frozen snow, a white expanse as far as the eye can see.
The two entered the base's air-raid shelter, which was still frozen, and there was no warm atmosphere or lively scene surrounding it.
There was no longer a dazzling array of goods; people, having received sufficient supplies, were smiling and chatting happily as they gathered together, forgetting the cold and despair outside.
Junjue and Chen Fan found a quiet corner, their eyes revealing endless exhaustion and perseverance as they gazed at each other.
They sat quietly together, enjoying the rare tranquility.
"After months of turmoil, I can finally get some rest," Junjue murmured to himself.
Chen Fan nodded sadly and said, "Captain, I sent portraits to every base we've been to, but I haven't heard anything from the vice-captain."
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, a hint of melancholy flashed across Junjue's eyes.
Where did Wan'er go? He had been searching diligently for the past few months at various bases, from north to south, but still hadn't found any news about her.
He replied calmly, "It's alright, she hasn't had enough fun yet. When she's had enough, I'll keep her by my side and make sure she can't go anywhere."
A hint of sadness flickered in his eyes, making Chen Fan feel a pang of sorrow.
"Captain, as long as she is still in this world, she will come back someday."
"Yes! I just hope that day doesn't take too long, otherwise I really won't be able to hold back my breakdown." Junjue said, his eyes moist.
"The vice-captain won't keep you waiting too long!"
"Yeah! We've all been working so hard for so long, you've had a tough time, so get some rest!" He didn't want to continue this topic, or he'd go crazy.
Chen Fan thought of how he and his captain had fought side by side and never been separated. In order to save more people, they worked tirelessly, risking their lives to rescue people everywhere.
"It wasn't hard work. I did a great thing with the captain and saved many innocent lives." Chen Fan's voice was filled with pride.
"Yes, we did it." Junjue's voice carried a hint of weariness, but was full of satisfaction.
Their conversation was filled with emotion and pride. No matter how difficult it was, they had persevered. Looking at the happy people around them, Junjue and Chen Fan felt immense satisfaction and relief.
They stopped talking and sat quietly together, enjoying this hard-won tranquility.
They were immersed in inner peace, feeling each other's presence.
Gradually, their eyelids grew heavy. Junjue and Chen Fan lay on the thick quilt, closed their eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
At this time, in the cold apocalypse, their existence was like a bright ray of light, bringing warmth and hope to people.
Although they were just two superhumans, they accomplished a miracle with their own power.
In their dream, Junjue and Chen Fan saw the future, a world without extreme cold, without the apocalypse, and without despair.
They believe that as long as they continue to work hard and persevere, the world will eventually return to its original state, just like the miracle of winter.
The two slept soundly until dawn.
Seeing that it was still freezing outside, the two of them quickly got up, dressed, and ate breakfast.
Looking at the self-heating hot pot in his hand, Chen Fan realized that he had been eating very well every day with the team leader, and his face had gained a lot of weight back.
While eating, he asked, "Captain, are we going back to the capital today?"
"Yes! Apart from those overseas, we in China have done everything we could to save them. We have done our best."
Moreover, the weather is getting colder and colder, so let's go back to the capital and have a good winter!
"We'll make further plans after the extreme cold is over!" Junjue said softly, taking a couple of elegant bites of the self-heating hot pot.
They had been distributing supplies in this cold place for several days in a row, and only now did they have time to eat delicious food, making mealtimes a rare treat for them.
The ingredients in the hot pot emitted an enticing aroma. With the charcoal fire burning, the teammates gathered together happily, chatting and enjoying the delicious food with satisfied smiles on their faces.
As Junjue savored the spicy flavor of the hot pot, a warm feeling gradually filled his entire being.
Suddenly, the Duke's gaze fell on a figure in the crowd.
The person had medium-length hair that reached her shoulders, and her face was covered by a scarf, which immediately drew his attention to her.
Her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.
Upon seeing that veiled face and those bright, star-like eyes, Junjue felt a surge of inexplicable excitement.
"Wan'er?" Junjue stood up excitedly and walked towards the person impatiently.
The girl in the distance seemed to sense that someone was watching her, turned her head, and saw the Duke.
Upon seeing the tall, handsome young man, she was taken aback for a moment, then frowned slightly, clearly not recognizing him.
