Song Chengyang hadn't slept. How could he possibly be asleep? The children were missing, and he was mired in trouble. Looking at Feng Yanyan, who was sleeping soundly with her head on his shoulder, a bitter smile rose in his heart. The connections between people are truly wondrous…
Throughout the journey, this young woman's passionate performance was truly breathtaking. Thinking back to that time... it feels like the warmth on my lips hasn't faded yet. Sigh! I have a family, after all.
Looking at this woman who was holding his hand tightly even when she was asleep, he felt uncomfortable, but not disgusted!
Because he knew... she was afraid—afraid that he would abandon her. In fact, just because she had saved his life, he couldn't possibly abandon her! Even if Leng Fengmei knew, he could understand.
Thinking back on my own marriage, the two of us were inseparable at the beginning, but who would have thought that the beautiful relationship would be completely destroyed by the trivial matters of family life? Now we are just family members!
I'd forgotten how long it'd been since someone held my hand like this, or kissed me like this. I never imagined it would be with her...
"Boss, we're here! That 'Peace Base' is just ahead!" Jiang Hai's excited voice rang out, waking the sleeping group.
"What are you yelling for? You're dreaming about eating chicken legs!" Liu Qiming said, slapping away Jiang Hai's big face that was leaning in.
Jiang Hai looked aggrieved. "Boss, didn't you tell me to call you when we arrived?"
Liu Qiming was taken aback for a moment, "Alright, alright, everyone has a bad temper when they wake up!"
What will you two do when we get to the base?
Seeing Liu Qiming ask him a question, Song Chengyang glanced at Feng Yanyan and said, "Boss Liu, we'll find a place ourselves. We can't cause you any more trouble, right?"
"You're being too polite!" Liu Qiming had long since realized that this man was no ordinary person!
Otherwise, how could such a serious injury heal so quickly? Nobody would believe it! That's why I had the idea of befriending them.
"Girls, if you have nowhere to go, come find me."
Our meeting is fate. As long as I have something to eat, you won't go hungry!
"Thank you, Brother Liu!" Feng Yanyan wanted nothing more than to get as far away from them as possible; how could she possibly go looking for him...
"What! There's nothing there... You think you can get in without anything? Dream on!" A middle-aged man of medium build, wearing blue overalls and with a pockmarked face, was shouting disdainfully at the elderly couple queuing in front of Feng Yanyan and her companion...
On the right is a marble monument more than two people tall, with the words "Peace Base" prominently engraved on it.
The elderly couple could only take out their last two bags of instant noodles and tremblingly hand them to the middle-aged man in front of them, who looked at them with disgust.
Feng Yanyan turned her head to look at the man holding her. She saw that there was no emotion in his eyes as he carried her to queue and register in one go!
Not far from the entrance is a seven-story building.
That's the place the administrator mentioned, the place where only those with crystal cores can live.
Further inside were simple prefabricated steel houses, where one could only live if they paid enough supplies. Since their supplies were limited, they could only live like that elderly couple...
Surprisingly, the minimum standard is a "tent"!
Outside rows of tents of various colors, a group of people, dressed in rags and with sallow complexions, were squatting or sitting.
Some stared blankly at the crowd, while others seemed to be looking through the crowd to other places!
For a moment, Feng Yanyan thought she was not in the human world. "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Once I'm better, I'll find you a safe place!"
Feng Yanyan's eyes reddened slightly. This man...
I was just using him, I never expected it to turn out like this...
"My child... Can you see my child? Huh? Can you see him? He's only so, so small..." A crazed woman lunged straight at him, almost knocking over Song Chengyang, who was holding Feng Yanyan. Keep in mind, he had just recovered and had carried her this far, stopping to rest several times along the way!
"Yunsheng... my Yunsheng! Where are you?" The cries faded into the distance as the madwoman ran towards the crowd behind her...
Feng Yanyan saw the man's expression change instantly, staring intently in the direction the crazy woman had left!
She suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis; if she weren't still unable to walk, he would have left long ago...
Thinking of the crystal cores she had sewn layer upon layer into a cloth bag in her backpack, Feng Yanyan lowered her eyes. If he left, would she end up like these people, living like a walking corpse?
The hand around Song Chengyang's neck tightened unconsciously...
"Yanyan, I just saw someone I'm looking for. I'll take her in later, then I need to go find her..."
Feng Yanyan's heart was sinking...
Song Chengyang thought she was just scared, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back in a bit!"
But only she knew that the moment Song Chengyang left, she felt like her world was collapsing, and a strong sense of unease was about to engulf her...
"Hey! What are you thinking about so intently? Are you thinking about your brothers? Hahaha..."
Feng Yanyan was startled by Jiang Hai's voice, but her expression returned to normal when she saw Liu Qiming behind her.
"What's wrong, sis? Did you have a fight with your husband? Your eyes are all red..."
Seeing Liu Qiming looking at her in surprise, Feng Yanyan forced a smile, "No, not at all! I was just thinking about my parents..."
Liu Qiming just smiled and didn't reply. He could tell that this woman didn't tell the truth, but that was understandable. The fact that she'd survived until now... she must be quite clever!
