The dark age of mankind is coming

Zhu Neng chuckled, showing his big white teeth: "Captain An, the boss has been worried about you. Ever since he heard you say you were coming to Kyoto, he hasn't slept well. Especially in the past few days, he has been driving the boat out to look for you every day."

An Ning looked at Xuanyuan Zunqi in surprise. Seeing that he was checking the situation on the cruise ship with a serious face, a ripple appeared in her heart.

She really couldn't imagine that this calm and composed man, who remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe, would toss and turn because of his worry about her.

Thinking of this, a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

"Ahem..." Xuanyuan Zunqi suddenly coughed, interrupting Zhu Neng's words, "Let's not talk about it for now, let's hurry back to the base. The sea is not safe, and there are still many unknown dangers."

An Ning nodded, then turned around and told the crew to continue their journey.

Because the cruise ship was spacious and large enough, Xuanyuan Zunqi and the other two chose to stay.

They tied the speedboat securely to the cruise ship, and then returned to the base on the cruise ship with An Ning and others.

Ling Yingjun walked down from the cabin and was responsible for giving the crew driving the cruise ship the specific direction to the Kyoto base.

Zhu Neng had nothing else to do at the time, so he found a familiar person named Zhang and asked him to take him on a tour of the cruise ship.

When the others saw the appearance of An Ning and Xuanyuan Zunqi, they all consciously went to do their own things, and soon An Ning and Xuanyuan Zunqi were the only ones left on the deck.

An Ning slowly walked to Xuanyuan Zunqi's side, stood side by side with him, and looked out at the sea in the distance together.

"Thank you for coming to pick us up." An Ning said softly to Xuanyuan Zunqi.

Xuanyuan Zunqi turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on An Ning, and a trace of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes, "You're welcome, there's no need to be so polite between you and me."

The atmosphere became a little subtle for a moment. An Ning smiled lightly, changed the subject, and said softly: "This sea area is relatively calm."

Xuanyuan Zunqi nodded slightly, "The base will arrange people to patrol the nearby sea area every day to clean up the mutated marine life."

The sea breeze blows gently, and ripples appear on the sea surface, sparkling and beautiful.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, lifting An Ning's hair, and a few strands of hair playfully stuck to her cheeks.

Xuanyuan Zunqi subconsciously reached out and brushed the hair beside her face behind her ears. His fingers inadvertently brushed across her skin, delicate and warm.

It was not until he accidentally touched the round and warm earlobe that he suddenly realized what he had done. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He said in a somewhat bewildered manner, "I... that... I didn't mean to... I just wanted to help you with your hair." He finished these incoherent words, he didn't know what he said, his face flushed red.

An Ning, whose cheeks were flushed instantly because of the man's touch, saw the man's helpless look, and her shyness faded away. She smiled and said, "Haha... I know. Thank you."

The faint smile on An Ning's lips was like a ray of warm sunshine shining into Xuanyuan Zunqi's heart, making his anxious heart calm down a little.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He secretly reminded himself that he must remain calm and not let his excitement destroy the rare harmonious atmosphere between them.

During the rest of the journey, both of them chose to remain silent, but the air was not filled with a heavy, oppressive feeling, but a quiet and comfortable tranquility.

Their eyes occasionally met, and at that moment, it seemed that countless words were flowing in their hearts, but they did not need to be spoken out loud.

As the cruise ship slowly moved forward, the outline of the Kyoto Security Base gradually came into view. It was like a magnificent castle, with towering walls and indestructible fortifications, which made people feel awe, as if declaring to the world its unshakable status and majesty.

"We're here." Xuanyuan Zunqi suddenly murmured softly, his voice low and steady, as if it contained endless power.

This sudden remark was like a meteor across the night sky, instantly breaking the long silence between the two. An Ning couldn't help but be slightly startled, then nodded slightly in response.

Her gaze slowly moved forward, gazing at the huge city through the cabin window.

After nearly half a month of sailing on the sea, they finally arrived at their destination - Kyoto.

This ancient city carries the last hope of mankind.

"Please dock the cruise ship ahead for inspection!" With a loud shout, the cruise ship that An Ning and others were on slowly approached the base dock.

Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the staff on duty, who acted quickly and directed the cruise ship to dock at the designated location in a professional and skillful manner.

Kyoto, this once prosperous city, as the capital of China, has always been the spiritual pillar in the hearts of the people of the country.

However, with the advent of extreme heat, the sea level rose sharply and the entire city was swallowed up by the ruthless sea water.

The survivors were forced to flee their homes and look for new shelters and places to survive.

Today, Kyoto has become a gathering place for survivors.

Almost every day one or two ships arrive here, hoping to get shelter and assistance.

But cruise ships of this size are extremely rare.

This makes the on-duty personnel pay special attention to it and remain highly vigilant.

Under the instructions of the staff on duty, the crew operated the cruise ship in an orderly manner.

The huge ship gradually approached the dock and finally docked steadily at the designated location.

The side of the ship collided gently with the dock, making a slight impact sound, as if announcing their arrival to people.

"Let's go ashore." Xuanyuan Zunqi said, he stretched out his hand and motioned An Ning to follow him.

An Ning nodded and got off the boat with him.

Ling Yingjun and Zhu Neng followed the two and got off the cruise ship.

There were two teams of psychics standing on the dock, as well as two rows of soldiers with guns and firing bullets.

Because the ship this time was relatively large, the base sent two groups of personnel.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zunqi, Zhu Neng and Ling Yingjun were among the people getting off the boat, the leading soldier asked in surprise: "Captain Long, why are you on this boat?"

Looking at the heroic woman standing next to Xuanyuan Zunqi, the leading soldier looked around at the two of them and asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"
