Huo Yishen held Jiang Ning in his arms, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Nothing will happen to him."

Jiang Ning's bad point was this. The cruel environment in which she grew up and the experience of two apocalypses made her pessimistic and prone to thinking of the worst possible outcome.

"He is the head of the military base. He must have known that the country would rebuild its homeland. It has been several months since the plate collision. Survivors from many bases across the country have come here. If nothing happened to him, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"Ocean currents are complicated and often cannot be controlled by humans. He hasn't arrived yet, maybe because he went in the wrong direction, but he will arrive sooner or later."

Fearing that she would blame herself and feel guilty, Huo Yishen comforted her, "Aning, even if you decided to take him away, he wouldn't leave."

Jiang Ning was silent for a moment.

Yes, Gu Tinglin will not leave.

From the moment he accepted the national mission, his fate has been determined.

His life belongs to the country and the people.

If Jiang Ning forcibly takes him away, he is afraid that he will not have peace for the rest of his life.

Jiang Ning understands, but also seems not to understand.

"You saved so many people before, but the final outcome was... Do you regret it?"

Huo Yishen thought calmly, "No regrets."

It's just that God gave him the opportunity to choose again.

He chose to live a different way.

But he has to admit that there is no compromise in the world. Every time he sees the soldiers and police who gave up their homes to defend the country, he feels uncomfortable.

After all, he was a deserter.

Therefore, Huo Yishen understands Gu Tinglin's choice.

Even if Jiang Ning told him the truth about the space, his choice would not change.

"If you take him away by force, your relationship will only deteriorate."

In fact, Jiang Ning knew in her heart that even if she had to choose again, she might still not speak up, because Gu Tinglin's answer would not change.

But... every time she used the space, she felt that she owed Gu Tinglin.

She did not acknowledge his identity, but was enjoying the benefits he gave her.

This split made Jiang Ning uneasy.

"I believe he will get through it." Huo Yishen held her cold hand, "Aning, if you can meet, I hope you can follow your inner decision and don't let yourself regret it."

Inner decision? Jiang Ning still doesn't understand until now, is it the guilt for Gu Tinglin who got the space, or the pitiful little blood relationship?

Or maybe it was out of respect for his self-sacrifice as a soldier of the country.

"It's normal to not be able to figure it out for a while. Time will give you the answer."

Jiang Ning thought about it and leaned on his shoulder to calm down.

At night, the sliding iron door was closed, Doudou and Gouzi slept in 372, Jiang Ning and Huo Yi slept in 370, and the middle was used as a living room.

The place was narrow, and the two of them lay flat and close to each other, without much space to turn around.

But returning to live in the human world, my heart is still quite at ease.

In the morning, when it was slightly bright, areas 1-3 became lively, and the soldiers got up on time to work.

The steel plate was not soundproof, and all kinds of ping-pong sounds lasted for more than half an hour before it stopped.

The three people and the dog had nothing to do, so they stayed up until almost eight o'clock, went into the space to brush their teeth and wash their faces, and then came out for breakfast.

They had plain soup noodles.

Jiang Ning had not yet planned to settle down, so he was not in a hurry to plant potatoes, but planned to visit the Huacheng base.

After putting the dog in the backpack, the three of them left with the assault boat.

This sea area was well chosen. Except for the tide when the waves can reach two or three meters high, it is relatively quiet at other times.

If the reclamation and island building are successful, it will be very suitable for human habitation.

It is said that the Taoist Bagua compass and advanced scientific detection were used in the site selection.

In short, it is a Feng Shui treasure land that cannot be taken away.

The assault boat is not fast, and it slowly turns around the offshore platform under construction.

Except for the AB area which has been completed, the other platforms are in full swing, and the survivors are relocated in while they are being built.

There was a bit of noise, but there was no problem with safety protection.

Looking at the large-scale marine construction equipment, Jiang Ning was surprised: "The base has not been powered on yet. How much oil do these equipment consume in a day?"

Huo Yishen looked at the platform under construction, "The large-scale equipment is not stopped, and it should be equipped with nuclear power, otherwise it cannot be constructed for a long time. Small equipment consumes oil."

Jiang Ning thought it was possible, after all, large equipment has no exhaust pipe.

It is really big, like an ant looking at an elephant. This is national infrastructure and the myth of global island building.

But why are platform construction and island building not carried out at the same time?

It should be easier to build a platform by raising the seabed terrain.

Before the natural disaster, Tianwhale and Tiankun were already the deification of artificial islands. It is enough to modify the design based on them. Why not use them?

Of course, Jiang Ning is an outsider thinking, and experts in reality should have their own considerations.

In addition to large equipment, there are many workers on the construction site.

As long as you participate in the construction, whether you are a military officer or an ordinary survivor, you must obey the arrangements unconditionally.

After all, it is not before the natural disaster, and oil is decreasing every day. What can be saved should be saved, but what can be used by ordinary people should be used.

The base is magnificent, and the six platforms under construction alone are almost thirty kilometers in a circle. If twenty are built, it will be a large city.

Hwaseong, as long as there is no natural disaster, is just around the corner.

Seeing a boat catching marine life, Jiang Ning came over curiously, "Can we eat it?"

The scavengers were wearing protective clothing, and several people worked together to pull the fishing net out of the sea. "You dare not eat it now. The research department wants to conduct an experiment to see if there is a way to remove the toxins in the fish."

Since the ocean was polluted by ancient viruses, humans have almost lost their source of meat.

After a few years, the survivors' health has become very poor.

It is impossible to recover physical strength by eating only vegetables or miscellaneous grains. We still have to find a way to obtain meat.

The research department has been working hard for several years and it seems that there is a clue.

Once a breakthrough is achieved, there will be an endless supply of meat.

In short, the day of eating meat is not far away.

Seeing that they seemed to be in good shape and willing to chat with others, Jiang Ning took the opportunity to ask: "What should I do if I want to eat meat?"

The beauty asked, and the uncles couldn't help laughing, "That's not difficult, just eat maggots."

Maggots?

The kind that crawl in feces? Jiang Ning's stomach suddenly felt bad.

"Of course not, maggots are rich in protein, and you can't eat them every meal."

Jiang Ning's stomach was churning.

Doudou is young and has little experience. She has seen bugs but has never seen maggots crawling in feces. "Uncle, how do maggots grow?" " They

are cultivated by the research department. It seems that they are raised by fermenting decayed matter."

The uncles are all people with life experience. Some food can guarantee the body's needs. Don't ask too much about other things. It's just asking for trouble.

No matter how it comes, it's okay as long as it doesn't kill people.

The problem makes people physically uncomfortable. Jiang Ning selectively ignores it. "Can the virus in the fish's body really be eliminated?"

"I'm not sure, but the researchers are quite confident."

The operators couldn't help but look forward to it. "If there is such a day, we will eat meat every day to make up for the share of the past few years."

Since the infection of the virus, humans have stopped fishing, and marine life has reproduced very quickly, and every time the net is cast, it can be fully loaded.

After a round of shopping, Jiang Ning returned to Area B and happened to see the administrator posting a job opening for a planter.

Doudou was instantly interested and read it several times before leaving...
