Chapter 674: Chapter 674: The Forgotten Appearance
Is this a place where people lived?
The onlookers held back their shock. n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
Yes, isn’t that what they had been longing for up until now, a real place for humans to live?
Unlike the man-eating zombies and plants outside, every person alive had become accustomed to the complexity and filth of human nature. Even living in this base without zombies, they had never felt any sense of security.
Now, the Base Leader of this base was promising them to transform this place into a livable area for humans, and just a moment ago, that man had also punished many of the former base guards.
Suddenly, a long-lost word surfaced in their minds: justice.
Before the Apocalypse, this word was taken for granted, but in this year of the Apocalypse, it had been utterly destroyed and seemed to have been forgotten by everyone. But now, it was being brought up again!
"We believe in you, please... make sure you do what you say,"
"I am also willing to join, as long as the base can!"
"Now that we have the resources, everything should get back on track, right?"
"Who wouldn’t want to live in a place for humans? If it’s really possible, I’d willingly go out and kill even more zombies,"
"..."
Guan Shouzhong, initially hoping to gain everyone’s approval, instead found himself overwhelmed by the encouraging words surrounding him. He looked at Lu Hao, and Lu Hao nodded at him, as if to encourage him.
"Please rest assured, I will do my utmost to keep my word!"
Guan Shouzhong said loudly.
Xiang Sanjin couldn’t help but wipe his tears on Tian Yongyi’s shoulder, who complained about it, but he didn’t mind and said, "It just reminded me of the toughest times we had before, Old Guan’s hair had turned quite white, he even said he wouldn’t continue. Now it feels like he’s come back to how he was before."
"It’s all because of Captain Lu’s lesson, did you see earlier? Those who were yelling a moment ago are now silent. That’s what you call total respect either speaking or silent!"
Tian Yongyi also said sentimentally.
"Yes, if it weren’t for Captain Lu’s intervention, I really wouldn’t want to think about what would have happened next,"
Xiang Sanjin genuinely cared about this place; he had always been worried about the base’s affairs to no avail. However, at some point, their situation seemed to have been magically turned around. When did it start?
Xiang Sanjin’s mind conjured up images of the Dragon Ruler team, especially the name Chen Daming; as for the reason only the name, because he realized he couldn’t remember their faces at all...
A riot ended amidst Guan Shouzhong’s reassurances and everyone’s high hopes. As for those who had just had their arms dislocated and been beaten to spit blood, Lu Hao had also pointed out a more than suitable place for Guan Shouzhong.
"Isn’t the Base Hospital still hiring? Just take them there and let the interviewers take care of them,"
Lu Hao said.
"Hmm, good idea, perfect!"
Guan Shouzhong agreed, glad to test the interviewees’ skills and resolve this trouble at the same time. What a smart solution.
Thus, Chen Chong’s group, completely incapable of resistance, were tragically taken to the Base Hospital’s interview location, receiving bone-setting treatments from both professional and amateur practitioners.
That day, the screams at the Base Hospital’s interview site never stopped. However, it also successfully recruited several highly skilled surgical staff for the hospital, greatly benefiting the base in the future.
"Captain Lu, you and your sister-in-law might as well just stay temporarily in our base. It’s safe here now, and it would save your sister-in-law the trouble of traveling back and forth,"
In the residence, Xiang Sanjin suggested, since they learned that Su Jin was pregnant, they felt she had it tough, having to move around with the team all the time—it was so nerve-wracking!
"That won’t do, our Base Hospital has a master gynecologist, and we need to be prepared when Xiao Jin’s pregnancy is further along. I’ve already made arrangements in advance,"
Lin Tianhui was the first to object, saying that childbirth was like passing through the gates of hell, and she wouldn’t feel assured without proper medical conditions and doctors.
"Aren’t you clear about our capabilities?"
Lu Hao looked up as he spoke. Besides, if they returned to S city base, they just needed to find a secluded place to enter the Space, there wouldn’t be any need to make Xiao Jin travel.
"But when you mention preparing to leave, it’s hard for us to let go,"
Tian Yongyi said reluctantly as he looked at his leader, Captain Lu. Although their Heart Talk Team had taken on two more of their tasks and wouldn’t leave until those were completed, he still felt reluctant.
"Don’t worry, we’ll still come back,"
Lu Hao said, and they had already discussed opening a shop here with Guan Shouzhong. Guan Shouzhong not only agreed without hesitation but was quite thrilled. A small shop might not seem like much, but it was a significant benefit in stabilizing a base.
"Regarding the shop, are you really not planning to use the name Heart Talk Team?"
Guan Shouzhong asked.
"No, having supplies can easily cause envy. If we were to open a branch here, people might suspect something, which would be better coming from you guys,"
Su Jin responded. Besides, they just planned to test it out, opening once a week, and Guan Shouzhong’s people would handle the staffing. The prices would be set a bit higher initially, hopefully preventing further suspicions about the Heart Talk Team.
"That’s true. Previously, Dragon Ruler also kept a low profile. It turns out the big shots with resources are all very discreet,"
Guan Shouzhong said.
"By the way, do you still remember what Dragon Ruler and their team looked like? I just realized I don’t really remember their faces at all,"
Xiang Sanjin asked.
After hearing this, Guan Shouzhong and Tian Yongyi stayed silent for a while, then shook their heads and said, "Can’t remember."
"Cough cough, there have been a lot of events happening lately, it’s normal that you don’t remember them,"
Huang Yunxiang quickly said.
"Right, I don’t remember the faces of those we met on the road before either. It’s quite normal,"
Upon hearing their words, Lu Guanhai also jumped a little, fearing they might discover something. But seeing Su Jin and Lu Hao appearing unconcerned, he relaxed.
True, who could have imagined this kind of face-swapping scenario?
At night, in the Wood Spirit Space, Su Jin felt the fetal movements in her belly with a smile; the twins seemed quite lively.
"Xiao Jin, you’re almost five months pregnant, right? How come your clothes still don’t show your belly?"
Huang Yunxiang asked curiously.
"In two more days it will be five months. Auntie, don’t worry, I feel they are both healthy. I even dreamt about playing with them,"
Su Jin answered with a smile.
She had also occasionally dreamt about those two little lights lately. She didn’t know what they were before, but after finding out she was expecting twins, she realized what they were.
She could feel both twins were healthy, so even if her belly wasn’t showing much, she wasn’t too worried.
