"Lu Yan, do you remember the scene of our fight before? At that time, I also discovered the existence of the mechanical birds. In addition, there were many zombie birds that were being controlled. I also found the person who controlled them when the P base was attacked and fought with her. She is also a psychic."
Lu Yan frowned slightly upon hearing this. "You yourself?"
"Don't be angry. It was an emergency, and I'm fine now, aren't I?" She quickly tried to appease him, then recounted what had happened that night, concluding, "I felt something was strange. That mysterious person didn't seem to really want to kill me, and I felt like I recognized her, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen her before. She also said something very strange to me: 'The way to break the rules is to be unexpected.' Oh, and there's another suspicious point: during my investigation of Chen Jiancheng and his wife's spiritual seas, I also 'saw' some bizarre things."
She roughly told Lu Yan what she had seen.
Although Lu Yan has not yet recovered his complete memories, he has accepted the concept of "reincarnation," which is similar to "planes," and can be considered as an elevation from two-dimensional to three-dimensional world. The matter of Chen Jiancheng and his wife has obviously elevated the matter to four-dimensional, parallel world plane.
"From what you see, the world we are in now might be someone else's 'game' world?" Lu Yan concluded.
Xia Yixin nodded. "Based on what I've seen, those mechanical crows should have come from them. There hasn't been an attack by the large-masked zombie beasts, which means they haven't released the virus through the 'System Dimensional Parallel Gate.' But after we return to Dawn, I still want to go to the south to take a look."
“I’ll go with you.” Lu Yan also found the whole thing very strange; it would be difficult to figure it out without getting to the source, and besides…
"Madam, was the woman you met earlier part of their group?"
Xia Yixin was about to answer when she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She had always thought that she was "in cahoots" with the mechanical crows, but that might have been a misconception. If the mechanical crows really wanted to retaliate, they would have done so three years ago. Why now?
Moreover, in the past three years, they have no longer controlled Chen Jiancheng and his wife.
The purpose of this newly appeared mysterious woman is very vague. At times it seems like she is helping her, and at other times it seems like she wants to kill her, as if she herself is hesitant about whether to take action.
She pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up.
She hugged him and said, "Let's just take it one step at a time. As long as you're here, I feel at ease."
Xia Yixin wasn't the only one who felt at ease. Lu Yan stroked her hair, which had grown to shoulder length. She had just taken a shower and still carried a faint, sweet fragrance, but it had nothing to do with romance. This gave him the same sense of peace.
Outside, the wind and snow intensified, the wind howled, and snowflakes pattered against the windowpane. The snow was already more than half a person high. No one knew how long this blizzard would last, but the two people embracing inside seemed completely isolated from the outside world.
Just as Xia Yixin was dozing off, she suddenly remembered a question and said softly, "I'm sorry."
This sentence completely chased away Lu Yan's drowsiness. He raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and asked, "Hmm?"
"It's... it's about that banquet before when I lost my temper with you. Although I was partly influenced by her mind, I was actually jealous. I couldn't stand you being touched by other women, especially women who were after you, even if it was just your arm. I felt like you belonged to me alone." She still felt a little sour thinking about him being taken advantage of, but she also realized that she had been a bit childish and overreacted.
She looked up at him, filled with guilt. "Was I a little too much? Was I too selfish?"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that the man was actually laughing like an idiot. She was so angry that she couldn't help but bite him. "Hey, don't laugh at me!"
Seeing that his little girl was really angry, Lu Yan quickly suppressed his laughter, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I wasn't mocking you, Madam. I was happy because I know that you are just like me. When I saw you save Chen Zhe that day, I wanted to tear him apart because even a fool could see that big oaf liked you."
"At the time, saving a life was considered a great act of merit... Besides, I later indirectly refused..." She couldn't talk about the mission.
Lu Yan was a little discouraged; the little girl had only heard the second half of the sentence.
“Madam, that’s not my point.” He paused, his gaze intense. “My point is that I not only don’t think you’re being unreasonable, but I’d also like you to express your love more openly in the future, and I want to kiss you right now.”
After a moment of silence in the manager's office, a woman's voice, feigning composure, rang out: "Then what are you waiting for?"
Her response was a pleasant, cheerful laugh from the man.
The next day.
Haina was the first to sense the subtle change between Xia Yixin and Lu Yan.
In short, it means being unexpectedly fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) all the time.
Although Xia Yixin and Lu Yan weren't particularly affectionate, the atmosphere between them was noticeably different. The smile that Lu Yan often wore made Hai Na feel that the person in front of her was no longer the fleet commander, Fred, whom she had known for five years, but another man named Lu Yan who looked exactly like him and was currently in a passionate and silly relationship.
Haina gradually gave up her original guess, because even if Xia Yixin really did control him, Haina still couldn't beat her.
Hena's proud personality also made her disdain to continue the entanglement.
A week later, when she finally saw the outline of the Dawn Base, Hina breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from being forced to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
It's already deep winter, and blizzards are becoming more and more frequent.
The air temperature is extremely low, but the indoor temperature inside the Dawn Base is maintained at around 20 degrees Celsius, and some can even reach 25 degrees Celsius, which is a very comfortable temperature.
Thanks to Xia Yixin's earlier warning, all the windows were fitted with protective measures, which successfully withstood an attack by a flock of zombie birds before Xia Yixin and the others returned.
During that war, Chen Qian saved Hong Feng's life. Although she is still in a coma, her condition is stable. Moreover, judging from Hong Meng's attitude when talking about this matter, Hong Meng has truly let go of the past grievances, and Hong Feng and Chen Qian have hope for the future.
The night Xia Yixin and Lu Yan returned.
All the residents of Dawn Base felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders.
In everyone's hearts, Xia Yixin and Lu Yan are the soul and pillars of the Dawn Base.
Of course, the biggest surprise was for Mark and the others. They were overjoyed to see that Dr. Hena had returned with them. Hena also successfully integrated into the group she hadn't seen for over a year. From them, she learned about the scene when Lu Yan met Xia Yixin half a year ago. Hena was a little confused, "Are you sure it was Fred who went there on his own?"
