But just when she returned to her room disappointed, she heard the familiar voice again.
【Host, I'm back! 】
There was some joy in Lingdan's voice, probably because the negotiations with the Heavenly Consciousness went smoothly.
"How is it? What does the Heavenly Dao Consciousness say?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked impatiently.
Lingdan hesitated for a while, but still told Ruan Jiaojiao.
[The Heavenly Dao Consciousness said that as long as the host helps it expel these outsiders, including the demon gods, it can protect those the host wants to protect.]
"What do you mean by those people I want to protect?" she asked with a frown.
"What about the others?"
"Where are the other survivors?"
[Host, I can't do anything about this, but if you drive away the demon and complete the mission, these people will definitely be fine!]
Lingdan could only comfort her like this.
"I hope so!"
She murmured, her eyes fixed on the distant building outside the window, her heart filled with melancholy.
As the New Year approaches, the base is filled with joy.
This was their first New Year at the base, so everyone wanted to celebrate properly.
Ever since Ruan Jiaojiao had the dream in which the devil came to warn her, she rarely saw the devil in her dreams again.
It was like it was just a dream when she was scared, and it was not real at all.
"Lingdan, do you think that Demon God will come to this world?" Ruan Jiaojiao pondered over it but still couldn't figure it out.
[Host, don't overthink it. It's good news that the demon god hasn't come, isn't it?]
Lingdan comforted Ruan Jiaojiao.
"But that demon is still a thorn in my heart. It's still a big worry in my heart. I can't sleep or eat unless I get rid of it!" She clenched her fists and said firmly.
[Host, don't worry. Since the Heavenly Consciousness has already promised us, it will definitely not lie to us. Just celebrate the New Year with the people at the base!]
Lingdan also knew that in the human world, New Year was the most important day of the year for them, and they would make good preparations.
"Okay! Zero, I believe you!"
After Ruan Jiaojiao finished speaking, she changed her usual worried expression and put on a smile.
"I'm going to find Sister Wan to discuss how to spend this New Year!"
"This is my first New Year in this world, and this time, I'm not the only one celebrating it!"
Indeed, not only did Wan An'an and the others accompany her, but she also had the members of the base to accompany her. She was actually not alone at all.
As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao went out, she could see that the base was full of joy.
She was also happy to see these, and took out some couplets, door gods and window decorations from her own space, and asked Jia Hao and others to distribute them all.
"Base Master, you actually have these couplets!"
Jia Hao, Li Yong and others who received the couplets all had smiles on their faces, because they knew that one of the most important tasks during the Chinese New Year was to stick new Spring Festival couplets on the doors.
But now it is the end of the world. In the past, when they celebrated the New Year, the food was only slightly better, and there was no difference from usual. They even had to worry about whether there would be a zombie attack!
But not anymore. In Ruan Jiaojiao's base, there is laughter and joy everywhere, without any worries. Even the children's faces are filled with happy smiles!
"I found it in the space! I think you might need it!" Ruan Jiaojiao said with a smile.
While Jia Hao was asking people to move the couplets and window decorations away, he looked at her with a smile.
"Base Commander, we're thinking, can we have this New Year's Eve dinner on one table so everyone can come and join us?"
This is what all members of the base hope for, so he came to tell Ruan Jiaojiao, hoping to get her consent.
"Okay! Since everyone wants to come and join us for the New Year's Eve dinner, let's prepare together!"
"I have no objection!"
Ruan Jiaojiao said with a smile. She looked at Jia Hao, waved her hand, and took out a lot of ingredients that could be used to make New Year's Eve dinner from the space.
"I think everyone can use these." She pointed at the ingredients.
When Jia Hao first heard Ruan Jiaojiao agreed, the wrinkles on his face were so wide that they covered his eyes.
After Ruan Jiaojiao took out the ingredients, he stopped smiling and his eyes were suddenly filled with tears, as if he was about to cry in the next second.
"Base Master, you are so kind to us!"
Jia Hao was so touched!
Before this, he had never imagined that he could have such a good life!
He originally thought that if everyone crowdfunded some of the New Year's Eve dinner, it wouldn't be too ugly. Now, Ruan Jiaojiao has come up with so many ingredients, which is enough to make it a great occasion!
"I hope everyone can prepare a delicacy from their hometown, which will taste great!" Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly said.
"Indeed, the base owner's suggestion is very good." Jia Hao also nodded in agreement.
When night fell and the stars appeared, the entire base became extremely lively.
Everyone brought the delicacies from their hometown to the big dining table.
Ruan Jiaojiao had been pushed to the front by everyone early in the morning.
Looking at the dazzling array of food on the table and the happy smiles on everyone's faces, she suddenly felt that it was right for her to come to this world.
"Base Commander! What's wrong with you? Eat quickly!"
"Yes! Base Commander! These are all delicacies from our hometown, come and try them!"
In just a short while, Ruan Jiaojiao's plate was piled high with food.
"Okay, okay, stop piling up and eat! Eat together!" Ruan Jiaojiao waved her hand, motioning everyone to sit down and eat together.
With Ruan Jiaojiao's words, everyone finally stopped restraining themselves and started eating one by one.
"That's great!"
"Yeah! It's great now!"
"It's all because of the base owner, otherwise we wouldn't be living like this!"
As everyone's conversation became more and more intense, time passed by little by little.
When everyone started counting down, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly woke up.
"Five, four, three, two, one!"
"Happy New Year!"
Ruan Jiaojiao waved the fireball in her hand upwards, and the fireball exploded in the sky, and gorgeous fireworks appeared in the night.
Everyone was shocked by this scene and remained silent for a long time.
Until someone in the crowd shouted, "It's fireworks!"
Now the crowd burst into laughter as if a pot of boiling water had exploded.
"Happy New Year!" Ruan Jiaojiao murmured.
With the falling of the last firework, a new year has arrived. It is a new year, a new atmosphere, and a new life!
Everything will get better and better for everyone! Definitely!
