Chapter 44 Returning Home
Early in the morning, Lin Luo was attracted by the cheers outside. She went to the source of the sound and saw a group of ordinary people kneeling in front of her. They knelt again and again towards the center of the base.
"Thank you, Base Commander."
"The base commander is merciful."
Lin Luo turned around and asked a man who was also watching the fun nearby.
"What are they doing?"
The man turned and looked at Lin Luo's face, startled. He stammered shyly, "Hey, since our base commander took office, he's implemented a series of welfare measures for ordinary people. He's arranged suitable jobs for them, ensuring everyone has a place to live and food to eat."
"Well, they're grateful for the base commander's kindness and are here to express their gratitude."
Lin Luo's heart was stirred when she heard this. She murmured to herself: "Who is the base commander?"
The man immediately explained: "Yes, Chu Xuan, he just took office yesterday. Speaking of which, this base commander is much more conscientious than the previous one. He knows how to consider the common people."
Lin Luo looked at the scene in front of him and felt happy for Chu Xuan. It seemed that he had done a very good job as the base commander right after taking office!
Lin Luo believes that under his leadership, the Northern Base will become stronger and more united.
Suddenly, an embrace came up from behind. Lin Luo's body stiffened, but after smelling a familiar scent, he relaxed.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Chen's voice sounded in his ears.
"Just watch the fun! Chu Xuan did a great job."
Xiao Chen also saw this scene and curled the corners of his lips slightly. It seemed that he had kept his promise. The Northern Base needed a leader like him.
"Well, let's go."
After saying that, he took Lin Luo's hand and walked back. They were silent along the way, but they were in a good mood. They both felt the warmth from their mother.
The surviving humans need to unite to resist the apocalypse and usher in rebirth, but they still have a long way to go.
Two days later, all tasks at the Northern Base were completed, and Xiao Chen, Lin Luo and his party began their return journey.
At the gate of the base, Chu Xuan and Xiao Chen said goodbye.
"Have a good trip! And thank you!"
Xiao Chen nodded, patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder, turned around and got into the car.
Chu Xuan took one last deep look at Lin Luo and watched them go away until he could no longer see them.
Putting away my reluctance to leave, I turned and headed back to the base. Ugh! Being a base commander is busier than I thought!
In the car, Lin Luo leaned lazily on Xiao Chen, watching the base behind him gradually getting smaller, feeling a little reluctant.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen looked at the listless Lin Luo and asked worriedly.
Lin Luo shook his head and said, "Nothing, just a little reluctant."
Xiao Chen didn't say anything, but just rubbed Lin Luo's hair lovingly, comforting her silently.
The low mood came and went quickly. After a while, Lin Luo couldn't sit still anymore. He took out the snacks from the space and started eating them. He also considerately threw several kinds of snacks to Chen Tong and Wei Long in front of him.
Since these two people came to the northern base, Xiao Chen had been ordering them around. They were busy from morning to night. Lin Luo only looked at them after leaving. He silently sympathized with them for three seconds in his heart.
After the car had been driving on the road for half a month, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was gloomy every day, which seemed like a sign that it was about to snow.
Xiao Chen was worried about the weather change, so he ordered everyone to travel as fast as possible. Everyone stayed in the car along the way and took turns driving. Finally, they arrived back at the southern base the day before it snowed.
Lin Luo looked at the familiar buildings, his heart filled with a sense of belonging. He was finally home. The weather kept getting colder along the way, so Lin Luo had already put on his down jacket and also arranged for Xiao Chen and the other two to go home.
After returning to the villa, Lin Luo threw himself into the soft big bed. Xiao Chen went to the military base as soon as he returned home. He had a long trip and had a lot of backlog of business, which he hurried to deal with.
It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Xiao Chen came back, with wrinkles on his tightly furrowed brows.
Lin Luo noticed that Xiao Chen was upset, and she asked worriedly: "What's wrong, brother? What happened?"
