No one knows whether Xu Kaitai was not found or encountered danger in the ocean.

There are countless such things. Some people leave and never come back.

But today, Young Master Rong saw Xu Kaitai again, and he didn't look like he had just landed.

He couldn't help but be curious, so he inquired privately, and then he found out that Xu Kaitai had already appeared in the southern military base before he rose again on the mainland.

In other words, not only did he find Gu Tinglin a long time ago, but he also chose to stay.

This is understandable. Everyone has roots. He originally came from the southern military base, so naturally he has a stronger sense of belonging to the old base.

Just like when Young Master Rong drifted to the Fengcheng base, he decisively chose to stay.

But why did Xu Kaitai drive the submarine out?

It is said that every time he leaves, it will last for several months.

Jiang Ning was a little dazed, and then suddenly enlightened.

Why was Gu Tinglin shocked but not particularly surprised when he saw the space scene?

It turned out that he had guessed it long ago.

When he was in the southern military, Xu Kaitai knew that she was given special care by the chief.

He found the southern military team in the vast ocean and told Gu Tinglin everything about the Hwaseong base.

Gu Tinglin knew very well that Jiang Ning would never return to the Hwaseong base in this life.

And he also knew in his heart that the five major military forces gathered in the Hwaseong base, and their military titles were equal, but the base needed a leader.

Even if the major leaders can sit still, can the people below sit still?

At the end of the world, all parties will work together to fight disasters, build civilization together, and the goal of moving upward will not change.

But under the general trend, the team is composed of armies from all sides, and as long as they are human, there will be conflicts and selfishness.

As a leader of one side, how could Gu Tinglin not know this?

It is good to know that Chinese civilization is continuing. Construction is construction anywhere, and flowers blooming everywhere is a magnificent sight.

For the Hwaseong base, it makes little difference whether he is there or not.

Not only he thinks so,

but also the generals under his command. The first half of his life was dedicated to the country, and the Hwaseong base has risen. For the rest of his life, Gu Tinglin wants to protect the people he owes.

Therefore, Gu Tinglin established the Fengcheng base, and Xu Kaitai went out to sea to find her.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath. He really didn't say a word.

Is this fatherly love like a mountain, moistening things silently?

If so, it makes sense for him to want Huo Yi to go deep into the military.

Having lived two lives, Jiang Ning had never been loved so deeply, and his heart was in turmoil.

Speaking of Xu Kaitai, Young Master Rong couldn't help but think of his brothers in Huacheng Base, "I wonder how Liu Cheng and the others are doing there?"

Jiang Ning suppressed his emotions and said calmly, "No matter where they are, they are continuing the Chinese civilization."

Seeing through it but not saying it, Young Master Rong left with his full stomach.

Next door, Shu Xueqing worked overtime until the evening before returning.

She was afraid that Gu Tinglin was hungry, but who knew that he not only went to the kitchen to cook, but also left some for her.

Shu Xueqing was surprised, "Old Gu, is the sun rising from the west?"

Gu Tinglin knew cooking skills, but not much.

When he was young, he often went on missions, and even when he returned to the army, he ate in the canteen. Later, as his military rank increased, he was often busy and had no leisure time.

Shu Xueqing has been taking care of his daily life over the years.

It was just two simple dishes, and his cooking skills were really not good, but Shu Xueqing was particularly happy because this was the first time he cooked for her.

Gu Tinglin was looking forward to it, "How was it?"

They were an old couple, and Shu Xueqing told the truth, "It's salty, but edible."

"Next time you cook, remember to call me." Gu Tinglin was a little disappointed, but then he suddenly said, "I'll learn a few dishes."

Shu Xueqing was very happy at first, but she paused when she heard what he said, "Want to cook for Jiang Ning?"

Gu Tinglin had the intention, but his cooking skills were really poor.

To be honest, Shu Xueqing felt a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted.

How could she be jealous of Jiang Ning? He has always felt guilty for missing her daughter's growth and for the hardships she has suffered, but at least she has had him by her side for more than ten years.

One does not know what will happen tomorrow, and he is willing to spend his time on Jiang Ning. He is a responsible person.

Gu Tinglin smiled, "I will do it for you and Aning in the future."

Shu Xueqing was satisfied with his words.

After dinner, she washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, but found new supplies in the kitchen.

Exquisitely packaged rice and flour, bacon and pork, and fresh meatballs.

Shu Xueqing was surprised. When did the base have such good treatment?

She opened her mouth to ask, but seemed to think of something, squatted down and put the supplies where no one could see.

At night, when she turned off the lights and lay on the bed, Shu Xueqing could feel that he was in a good mood, but he didn't seem to be sleepy.

"Old Gu, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Gu Tinglin nodded, "You go to sleep first, I'm thinking about something."

Shu Xueqing couldn't sleep, so she leaned over and hugged him, "Aning and the others are settled now, and they are not young anymore, isn't it time to find a chance to have a child?"

The conditions in the apocalypse were harsh, and she had no chance to have a child.

The natural disaster was too tragic, and there were not many children of Doudou's age in the base. The youngest and most suitable for childbearing were Jiang Ning's group.

If she didn't have a child again, who knew if she would have a chance in a few years.

Gu Tinglin didn't think about it. "Now is not the best time. Let's wait for a few days.

Things will get better in the future, but fertility is indeed a big problem.

Although there are still young and strong people now, there are very few women in the base, and the living conditions are poor. Many people are already in poor health. I am afraid that even if the conditions are better in the future, they may not have a chance.

This reminded Gu Tinglin, "Your hospital can do research in this direction. When the conditions are better in the future, you can use medical means to allow more women to have the opportunity to have children."

Shu Xueqing nodded, "I will discuss with the dean tomorrow and make medical preparations in advance."

Gu Tinglin rested at home for two more days. Although his pneumonia was not completely cured, he still went to work.

He had a family and a daughter, so he did not dare to work as hard as before. He went home to rest after dealing with the important things at hand.

During his illness, good news came.

Soldiers who went out to look for resources sent a message that a limestone was found more than a hundred miles away.

They could find a way to build a lime kiln, calcine the limestone at high temperature into lime, and use it as building material mud and sand, further solving the problem of mud and sand shortage.

There was also better news. A coal mountain was found more than 300 kilometers away.

But it was not an open-pit coal mine, and it was estimated that a lot of manual excavation would be required.

This news was extremely exciting. Coal can not only solve the fuel problem, but also is the source of kinetic energy for many machines.

But the problem is that there are not enough people.

After the excitement, the senior executives were left with nothing to do.

Fengcheng Base was built from scratch, without any mechanical assistance, and the number of people was even worse. The soldiers had already been split into two, and if things continued like this, everyone would be scrapped.

Since they had to move bricks and have enough food and clothing, it was really difficult to choose.

Gu Tinglin listened to their discussion quietly, "There are too many things to do and too few people, so make the right choice."
