Chapter 118 Base Director
He stretched out his trembling hand, wanting to touch her black hair, but found that his skin was hanging loosely on his hand, making him look like a man in his seventies or eighties.
He opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't catch his breath and started coughing.
Liu Chuchun was awakened. Seeing Ying Shen wake up, she was surprised and distressed, but she said nothing. She just patted his back to help him calm down.
Ying Shen lowered his head, not daring to let Liu Chuchun see his face. He must have looked very ugly at this moment.
Seeing that his cough had subsided a bit, Liu Chuchun poured him a glass of water. "Why are you hiding? I've seen your face a long time ago, or do you just not want to see your ex-wife? Do you dislike me getting old?"
Base Captain Ying lowered his head, his voice hoarse from not speaking for so long: "No, that's not what I meant. You're very beautiful, just like before, but now I'm... too ugly."
Liu Chuchun rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, her tone unhappy: "I don't even dislike your ugliness, but you do. If I disliked your appearance, I wouldn't be here."
Ying took a deep breath and drank a glass of water. After a long silence, he said, "I'm sorry. It's my fault."
Just these words made Liu Chuchun's eyes red, but she still tried hard not to let the tears flow: "It's not entirely your fault. I was too young at the time... I always had a bad temper. When you were busy with work, I thought you didn't love me."
Ying Shen recognized her crying voice and dared to look up at Liu Chuchun. He wanted to reach out and wipe away her tears, but stopped himself. "I don't blame you. You were young and playful back then, and I should have spent more time with you."
Twelve years ago, 20-year-old Liu Chuchun met 28-year-old Ying Shen. They fell in love at first sight and got married two years later.
At that time, Ying Shen was already the deputy minister of the provincial equipment development department (please do not apply this fiction to reality), and he was in the most critical years for promotion.
He was extremely busy after marriage and neglected Liu Chuchun.
Liu Chuchun was in the prime of her life and felt that she had chosen the wrong person, so she decided to divorce. The two officially divorced in the fourth year of their marriage.
Ying Shen tried to win her back, but Liu Chuchun felt that he didn't even want to spend time with her, so there was no need to get back together.
I destroyed all my phone cards and social media apps and started traveling around the country.
After Ying Shen figured out his feelings, he wanted to find her, but found that he could not get in touch with her at all. This gap lasted for four whole years.
When the end of the world came, 40-year-old Ying Shen's career reached its peak. He successfully received an order from the central government to establish a base and was appointed as the base commander.
After working hard for half a year to finally build the base, he fainted due to overwork and only woke up now.
During this period, I woke up several times in a daze, and it seemed that I had my fingerprints pressed and signed a few times before I fell asleep again.
When I woke up, I saw Liu Chuchun standing by my bed. She was still as beautiful as ever. Although there were a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she had her own unique charm.
Ying Shen was an excellent marksman, one of the best in Xiangnan Province. During the years when Liu Chuchun was married to him, she could practice shooting at the shooting range.
Under his guidance, and with Liu Chuchun's own excellent talent, he became the first in the shooting competition in the Xiangnan Province army in less than a year.
He was once invited to join the army, but was rejected by Ying Shen because he did not want Liu Chuchun to carry out dangerous missions.
But Liu Chuchun felt that he did not recognize her own value, which was one of the contradictions that led to their divorce.
The main reason for their divorce was the generation gap, coupled with the self-righteous attitude of doing things for the best of each other. Now, as they grow older, both of them realize that they were wrong and understand each other more and more.
Now that we meet again, I can't stop feeling emotional.
But Ying Shen felt that he was too ugly now and did not dare to express his feelings.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chuchun hugged him while crying. Her voice was softer than ever before. The nasal sound from crying and the slightly hoarse voice made her sound pitiful like a stray kitten. "I don't mind you. Besides, you are just skinny. Look at you. You are just bones. If you eat more, you will be fine again."
What she didn't say was that even if eating didn't work, there were growth factors and healing abilities, and she would definitely be able to recover.
…
After listening to Sister Liu's story, everyone finally understood how Sister Liu, an ordinary person, could have such good marksmanship and was extremely knowledgeable about various firearms. So that's how it was.
Ying Shen realized that two years had passed while he was asleep, and learned that so many things had happened, and he sighed for a moment.
He then looked at the members of Team 24 and said after careful consideration, "I am old and in poor health. I will leave the base in your care from now on."
"Ah, us? This won't work. No, we have never managed anyone." Xia Guang hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands. He had a clear understanding of his own strength.
Ying Shen only smiled, his weak voice steady. "No, you've handled it very well these past few days. You know the base better than I do. I believe you can do it."
After saying this, he smiled and looked at Liu Chuchun affectionately: "I'm old, it's time to retire. Besides, I have to use the time I wasted before to find my wife."
Liu Chuchun glared at Ying Shen angrily. What nonsense were you talking about in such a formal setting? But she couldn't suppress the blush on her face, and her ears turned red.
Ying Shen's eyes were full of love when he noticed this, and he knew that she fell for it.
Everyone sensed the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, and left the ward on the pretext of having things to do, leaving the space to the two.
Du Tao stood blankly inside the door. He still had to treat the base commander's injuries.
Xia Guang, who had walked to the door, pulled him out by his arm and said, “It will be the same next time you treat me. The first one to leave will go first.”
Du Tao scratched his head and followed Xia Guang in a daze. Normal people are really strange. They don’t even treat their injuries.
After leaving the ward, everyone went to the conference room in Area 1 and gathered all the senior executives to discuss who should be the new base commander.
All four hunting teams supported Zhang Xiaobai, and some supported their own captains, but they were in the minority.
Except for Du Tao who foolishly supported his captain, everyone else in the second team just supported someone else.
Zhao Yunyao said with a smile: "I support Sister Pu Zhi!"
When Du Tao heard this, he immediately changed his choice to Pu Zhi.
Pu Zhi's mouth twitched. She didn't want to be one. Please don't bother me, thank you...
When the people from Team Three saw that Team Four had all chosen Zhang Xiaobai, they realized that the outcome was already decided, so they simply did him a favor and chose him.
The hundreds of people present are all discerning people, and the base commander will only choose from among the people with special abilities. Since the people with special abilities all chose Zhang Xiaobai, they will just follow his lead.
In the end, Zhang Xiaobai was elected as the leader of base number three with 80% of the votes, while Jin Na from team four became the deputy leader.
The hunting teams were re-ranked, and Team 2 naturally became Team 1 and moved into Area 1.
Those who had committed crimes in the original hunting team were driven away or shot, two of them joined other teams, and Luo Yun joined Team One.
After the Central Hospital in District 1 was cleaned up, she realized that her brother could have woken up long ago, but in order to trap him, Li Cang had the doctor inject him with drugs similar to anesthetics, which kept him asleep.
Upon learning this, Luo Yun covered his face and cried bitterly. He joined the team in order to give his brother the best care, but he didn't expect that he would harm him.
