Chapter 59, Chapter 15: Female Supporting Character in an Apocalyptic Novel
That's fucking outrageous!
But look at our current living conditions, the warm and happy smiles on our family members' faces, and think about what they've been doing in Zone E.
These people fell silent again and chose to continue living this kind of life.
Area E is very different from Area A.
There are no power struggles here, only a group of people working together to survive.
Leader Xu Qingzhou is not an autocratic or dictatorial person and has no interest in manipulating power.
He only cares about how well the work is done, whether the city's development is going smoothly, and whether the suggestions he makes are applicable and feasible.
Working under him, you only need to focus on how to better complete your tasks. You don't have to worry about losing your life if you accidentally displease him.
Everyone's talents can be maximized within limited conditions.
This was something they had never experienced in Area A.
The fact that they were imprisoned by Commander Zhao shows that they are not people who like to manipulate power.
Having experienced this, no one wants to go back to Area A.
Xu Qingzhou, having settled the unexpected arrival of these people, returned to the courtyard with a trembling heart, only to find an unexpected person there.
"Lord Su?!"
There was a grape trellis in the yard, made from seeds that Xu Qingzhou had found on the ground some time ago.
He didn't know why, but when he saw grapes, he subconsciously felt that she would like them.
By the time he realized what was happening, the grape trellis was already set up.
By now, the grapevines had grown all over the trellis, with bunches of green grapes hanging from them.
An elderly man with gray hair sat under the grape trellis, gazing intently at the spring scenery that filled the courtyard.
Lord Su was startled awake by the sound and turned to look.
He recognized him at a glance.
The kind-faced old man smiled gently, showing no sign of the defeated and disheveled state of the one who had lost the power grab.
"It's Kiyosuke!"
Xu Qingzhou remained silent for a few seconds, then walked over and sat down next to City Lord Su, his eyes filled with confusion.
What are you doing here?
Lord Su looked behind him, and Xu Qingzhou paused before turning around to look as well.
Yu Wanwan came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl. She placed the bowl in front of Lord Su and tapped the table.
"Drink this."
The bowl contained a dark, murky liquid; just by smelling it, you could tell it was definitely not going to taste good.
But Lord Su had no objection. He obediently picked up the bowl, pinched his nose, and gulped it down in a few gulps.
Watching him finish the bowl of medicine without leaving a drop, Yu Wanwan finally looked at Xu Qingzhou.
"I brought it back."
"???"
Xu Qingzhou looked completely bewildered and puzzled.
"How did you bring it back?"
Didn't she say she didn't care?
When did you sneak out?
Does she even know how dangerous it is outside?!
Yu Wanwan picked up the empty bowl, turned around, and went back to the kitchen.
"Of course we'll go to Area A and sneak it back when no one's looking!"
"..."
Xu Qingzhou choked up, wanting to chase after him to ask for clarification, but with City Lord Su still sitting beside him, he hesitated.
Lord Su smiled and waved his hand.
"Go ahead, don't worry about me!"
Xu Qingzhou gave him an apologetic smile, maintaining her composure, but quickly caught up with him.
Standing in the kitchen, Xu Qingzhou glanced at Lord Su, who was looking at the grapes with great interest in the courtyard, and only lowered her voice after confirming that he wasn't looking this way.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't care?"
Yu Wanwan casually pushed the bowl to him, letting him wash it, while she leaned against the sink, looking completely at ease.
"Yeah, I only said I wouldn't get involved in the mess in Area A, not that I wouldn't get involved in the old man's affairs."
"..."
Xu Qingzhou felt an urge to smash the bowl in her face.
Is she even speaking human language?!
"Can't you talk to me about it first?"
Yu Wanwan's face showed some disdain.
"You? You're in the way!"
"..."
Xu Qingzhou's face darkened completely. He gritted his teeth, grabbed her by the back of her collar, dragged her out, and slammed the kitchen door shut.
"Stay away from me, I don't want to see you right now!"
"..."
Holy crap!
Did they throw her again?
This male lead is about to ascend to heaven!
Turning around, she met Lord Su's smiling eyes. Yu Wanwan paused for a moment, but ultimately didn't kick the door open to confront him.
He didn't ask Yu Wanwan why she was there, what her relationship with Xu Qingzhou was, or why she didn't go back to him since she knew his identity.
Su Man was raised by City Lord Su, and he could sense her difference more clearly than anyone else.
But he didn't want to expose these differences, so he settled down in District E without any worries.
He didn't stay in the courtyard, but instead asked for a room in the officials' quarters, where he lived alone.
Xu Qingzhou and Yu Wanwan tried to persuade him several times, but he insisted on going his own way. They had no choice but to let him be.
With Lord Su in charge, these officials who were already loyal to him felt more at ease and worked more diligently in District E.
Since they were all in Zone E, Yu Wanwan's presence was naturally discovered by them.
It was at this moment that they all understood why Area E was able to cut off Area A's control over them from the main control console.
And how were they able to repair the city's electrical equipment in such a short time?
If it's her, then it's perfectly normal.
The officials were alright; they just remarked a few times that good people are always blessed, and that was it.
But the people at the research institute were different. After discovering Yu Wanwan, they wanted her to return to the research institute and continue her previous research.
This annoyed Yu Wanwan so much that she wished she could throw them out.
Later, it was Yu Wanwan who pushed Ya Ya to them. After discovering Ya Ya's talent, this group of people who were obsessed with scientific research immediately shifted their focus to bothering Ya Ya.
Yu Wanwan had just caught her breath when the dean came to her door again.
Looking at the dean, who was not much younger than City Lord Su, Yu Wanwan held back and ultimately did not resort to violence.
"I have amnesia, I don't remember anything, and I'm not going back to the research institute!"
The dean couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to persuade you to go back."
Yu Wanwan relaxed a little and stepped aside to invite him into the courtyard.
Looking at the courtyard, a scene he had never seen before in his life, the dean's eyes held a hint of sadness.
A glass of water was placed on the table. The dean snapped out of his reverie and suppressed his emotions.
"The data you sent back before you disappeared was obtained by Zhao Kun, they..."
Yu Wanwan paused for a moment, carefully recalling the plot.
Sorry, Su Man never regained her memories in the story. With Xu Qingzhou's secret help, Commander Zhao and his group's rebellion ended as soon as it began.
There was absolutely no mention of any information sent back by Suman before her disappearance.
The plot didn't mention it, and it wasn't in Su Man's memory either, so she didn't know either.
But speaking of which...
At this point in the story, the plot has completely deviated from its original direction.
In the original storyline, the oxygen generator would never be repaired. As he had planned before, Xu Qingzhou would start a business using resources obtained from the ground.
He had already maxed out his business skills and quickly amassed a large amount of assets, becoming a rising star in Zone B.
Unlike the wealthy people in District B who sided with the military, he instead used a large amount of resources to support Lord Su's research institute.
His actions offended Commander Zhao, and Mr. Wang also targeted him, attempting to have him arrested through official channels.
Unfortunately, by then Xu Qingzhou had already become powerful enough that Mr. Wang was no match for him and was defeated by him, with all of Mr. Wang's assets becoming his.
Having consolidated Mr. Wang's assets, Xu Qingzhou became the new richest man in District B and gained control of the district.
Without the help of Area B, Commander Zhao's villainous role was over before it even began.
But now, because of her intervention, the plot has taken a completely different turn, and Dao Guo has remained silent, while the Heavenly Dao has not reacted either.
Yu Wanwan pondered to herself.
That's because his growth trajectory wasn't interrupted!
Fearing that she might overthink things and start to let her imagination run wild, Daoguo didn't dare let her speculate on her own and quickly spoke up to explain.
Although their career paths differ, the male protagonist still reached the pinnacle of life in a different way, achieving a remarkable turnaround. Heaven turned a blind eye, a rare occurrence, so don't act recklessly!
Yu Wanwan seemed to be deep in thought.
I see.
It seems the plot isn't as rigidly fixed as it appears.
As long as it doesn't affect the male lead's rise to the pinnacle of life, his redemption and comeback, and his mission to protect the female supporting character, what happens in the process isn't really that important.
In short, the way of Heaven only cares about the final result.
Seeing her expression, Daoguo knew something was wrong and became somewhat frantic.
【So what if you understand? You understand! You can't act recklessly, do you hear me!】
Yu Wanwan turned her head away, pretending not to hear.
"I have amnesia and don't remember any information."
The dean was somewhat disappointed, but this was to be expected.
He took a paper document out of his briefcase and handed it over.
"I've read those documents many times and have already memorized them. It took me some time to write them down. You can take a look and see if you can recall anything."
Under the old man's expectant gaze, Yu Wanwan did not refuse and took it, flipping through it casually.
The contents of the document surprised Yu Wanwan.
She could easily understand these data and information, even though the dean and his colleagues couldn't comprehend them.
This is clearly Kofuji's information!
It seems that Suman had encountered the small vine on the ground before, and even conducted some simple research on it, collecting some sample data that could allow the moss to multiply in large quantities.
This Su Man is quite formidable.
Following that, research institutes conducted various studies based on these sample data.
They have now basically finalized the propagation plan for *Clerodendrum thomsoniae*, but they haven't had time to conduct clinical trials yet.
Yu Wanwan only glanced at it a few times before stopping.
Xiao Teng's data is even more detailed than what's recorded in these documents.
"Even if they get it, they can't use it, so it's not a big deal."
Yu Wanwan, however, flung the document away.
The dean was stunned for a moment, then instinctively lunged forward.
But something even faster sped out, grabbed the files, and vanished in a flash.
The dean stood there, stunned, his eyes wide, pointing at the wooden wall covered with green vines, speechless.
"This is……"
Yu Wanwan smiled and spread her hands.
"As you can see."
