Chapter 74
by REX-NOVELISTSSong Luozhi stopped dwelling on the matter and lowered her head to eat breakfast.
Time passed quickly. The assembly point was not far from Silver Bay Gardens, and the survivors in the villa district had already left their homes early to wait.
As the morning light dawned, large trucks drove out of the darkness, surrounded by many military trucks.
Lin Qianhuan linked arms with Song Luozhi and walked towards the assembly point, encountering many weary survivors along the way.
Everyone’s face was filled with joy, whether traveling alone or in small groups, their goals were remarkably consistent.
“We’ve finally waited for this day.”
“We have a home, we have a home again.”
“Hurry up, line up early to get on the bus.”
“Kyoto Base, here I come!”
…
Everyone’s face was filled with joy, but Song Luozhi, holding Lingling in her arms, was filled with regret at the parting.
She knew that once they parted, she didn’t know when they would meet again.
From a distance, she saw a tall and resolute figure maintaining order beside the line. Song Luozhi couldn’t hold back any longer and ran towards him with Lingling in her arms.
“Gu Feng!”
The figure whose name was called froze for a moment, turning his head in disbelief to look at the woman running towards him, crying and laughing.
“A-Zhi! You’re still alive!”
Gu Feng rushed forward to catch her, and the two hugged tightly, without needing to say much more.
“You’re still alive. I thought you were dead and had abandoned us, mother and daughter.”
Song Luozhi cried uncontrollably, all the fear and worry since the arrival of the apocalypse turned into tears, soaking into Gu Feng’s crisp military uniform.
Gu Feng was a little darker than before, and the hand holding her trembled slightly.
“How could I abandon you? The first thing I did when I returned to Yuncheng was to go to the West Suburbs, but I couldn’t find you.
I thought…”
His voice was rough, but his movements were extremely gentle.
After hugging for a while, he gently pulled Song Luozhi away from his embrace.
Surrounded by comrades and survivors, he was the Yuncheng commander of this operation and couldn’t dwell on emotions for too long.
Lin Qianhuan saw that the two had calmed down and walked over.
“Captain Gu.”
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with relief.
“It’s good to see you.”
Gu Feng looked at Song Luozhi, somewhat puzzled, “Who is this?”
Song Luozhi wiped away her tears and quickly explained, “This is Lin Qianhuan. She rescued me in the West Suburbs.
If it weren’t for her, Lingling and I would have starved to death long ago, and you wouldn’t be able to see us.”
Hearing this, Gu Feng bowed deeply to Lin Qianhuan.
“Thank you for saving them, thank you.”
Lin Qianhuan quickly helped him up, her palm moving slightly, and two enormous hiking bags appeared in her hands.
“You don’t need to thank me. If it were you, you wouldn’t have ignored me if I was dying.
You save others, and I naturally have to save your wife and daughter.”
She placed the hiking bags at Gu Feng’s feet, “You must accept these things.
I won’t disturb you any longer with your mission. We’ll meet again if fate allows.”
After speaking, Lin Qianhuan turned and ran, not giving Gu Feng and Song Luozhi a chance to persuade her to stay.
Gu Feng picked up the two hiking bags, somewhat at a loss.
“Keep them. This is Qianhuan’s intention. She’s a straightforward girl and definitely doesn’t want to push back and forth with us.”
Song Luozhi sighed, watching Lin Qianhuan’s departing figure, “If we have the chance to meet again, we must thank her properly.”
Gu Feng nodded heavily, taking Song Luozhi to rest inside the truck.
The two opened the hiking bags, intending to change Lingling’s diaper, only to be so shocked by the abundance of supplies inside that their jaws nearly dropped.
Milk powder, diapers, antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, tetanus shots, compressed biscuits, high-proof liquor…
Each item was invaluable in the apocalypse, especially the tetanus vaccine, which could easily save a dying life.
“What kind of background does this girl have, to be so generous?”
Gu Feng scratched his head, “Any one of these items could cause the survivors outside to fight over them, but she gave them away so readily.
Unless, in her eyes, these things are nothing.”
Song Luozhi’s eyes turned red, “Lao Gu, if you dare to report Qianhuan to your leaders, don’t blame me for divorcing you and taking our daughter.
She gave us so many things out of kindness, don’t cause her any trouble!”
Gu Feng hesitated, but finally nodded, “I understand, I won’t ask too much.
She’s a powerful character, and also an Superpower user. She’ll definitely be a key figure to cultivate if she enters the Kyoto Base.”
Song Luozhi sighed, “How could I not know?
Qianhuan is skilled, has Superpower, and is smart, capable, and efficient.
But she doesn’t like restrictions and has family to be with.
She doesn’t want to live in the base, so don’t go looking for trouble.”
Gu Feng rubbed Lingling’s little face, who was blowing bubbles, a little angry at being poked.
“I know, she’s the savior of you and your daughter, and I, Lao Gu, am not someone who repays kindness with malice.
If she’s willing to come to the Kyoto Base in the future, I’ll definitely apply for the best living conditions and the easiest job for her.
Our family will never forget her kindness.”
Song Luozhi was relieved and gently pushed Gu Feng, “The survivors are all lining up, hurry up and get busy, I’ll take care of Lingling.
Be careful, don’t leave us, mother and daughter, to run off secretly again.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll never let you worry about me again.”
Gu Feng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned to return to the crowd to maintain order.
