The dark age of mankind is coming

An Ning stood up, walked forward, and then solemnly saluted the old leader.

Throughout her career, her old leader has always been her role model and guide. His teachings and guidance have enabled her to continue to grow and improve in her work.

Now, seeing her old leader again, her heart was filled with emotion and respect. The familiar face and kind smile reminded her of the years she had spent in the army.

"Long time no see." The old leader stood up and patted An Ning's shoulder gently, with a gleam in his eyes and a smile on his face.

He looked at An Ning carefully, as if trying to find in her the shadow of the high-spirited girl who had just joined the army.

However, when the old leader thought about why such an outstanding talent left the army, a feeling of regret welled up in his heart.

An Ning has outstanding talents and potential. If she continues to stay in the army, she will definitely achieve greater success. However, things are unpredictable.

"You are still so full of energy!" There was a hint of nostalgia in An Ning's tone. Time flies, but the old leader's spirit and demeanor remain the same. The familiar voice and expression seemed to bring her back to the time when she was with the old leader in the past.

The old man sighed slightly, a trace of vicissitudes flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "I am old. In the future, China will rely on you young people." His eyes fell on An Ning and Xuanyuan Zunqi, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

The two chatted for a while, and An Ning prepared to say goodbye and leave. After all, her status did not allow her to stay here for long.

"If you need anything, you can come to me at any time." The old leader said with concern.

"Thank you, I will." After An Ning sincerely thanked his old leader, he left the command center accompanied by Xuanyuan Zunqi.

……

Xuanyuan Zunqi looked at An Ning, hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Do you have anything else to do? There is a cinema on the Central District Commercial Street, and I happen to have two tickets. How about going to see it together?" His tone was full of expectation and caution, as if he was afraid that An Ning would refuse.

An Ning thought about it for a moment. She really wanted to relax, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing that An Ning agreed, Xuanyuan Zunqi immediately showed a happy smile on his face.

He turned the car right and took An Ning straight to the shopping mall on the commercial street in the central district.

The cinema was on the top floor of the 30th floor, and the two of them took the transparent sightseeing elevator together.

The elevator slowly rose, and through the glass, they could clearly overlook the bustling scene of the entire shopping mall.

The mall is bustling with people coming and going.

There are all kinds of shops, including fashionable boutiques selling clothes, delicious restaurants with fragrant aromas, and shops filled with all kinds of tobacco and alcohol...

Soon, the elevator reached the top floor on the 30th floor.

As soon as you exit the elevator, you can see a long queue at the entrance of the cinema, where tickets are being checked for entry.

An Ning and Xuanyuan Zunqi walked to the end of the line in the same pace and waited in line quietly.

They are not the kind of people who like to talk endlessly.

While waiting to enter, no one talked to each other, but the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, making people feel comfortable.

Before long, it was their turn to walk into the theater and take their seats.

Soon after they found their seats and sat down, the movie officially began.

As the lights in the theater gradually dimmed, a clear image gradually emerged on the screen.

This movie is a classic romantic love film. The hero and heroine in the film go through many hardships and obstacles and finally spend the rest of their lives together.

An Ning leaned lazily against the back of the chair, immersed in the plot of the movie, and fully enjoyed this rare tranquility and beautiful time.

At the same time, Xuanyuan Zunqi would occasionally glance at An Ning beside him out of the corner of his eye, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Time passed minute by minute, and they watched the whole movie quietly.

After the movie ended, Xuanyuan Zunqi accompanied An Ning to a noodle restaurant in the shopping mall to have lunch.

Only after he had safely escorted An Ning back to her apartment building did he turn back to the inner area.

After a busy afternoon, Xuanyuan Zunqi returned home, lay on the bed, and recalled every detail of his time with An Ning today. He felt sweet in his heart.

He thought of something and suddenly sat up and took out the box where he kept the medals he had won during his military service.

He took out the medals and placed them casually on the bed. He took out the ticket stubs from the movie they watched today from his jacket pocket and put them in the box.

Holding the box, Xuanyuan Zunqi's mouth widened. This could be considered their first date.

……

After entering the Kyoto base, Team Hope took a short rest for three days and then everyone started to get busy again.

"This is the base regulations manual. I think everyone has read it in the past few days." An Ning said, taking out a manual.

The team members nodded to indicate that they had seen it.

An Ning continued, "Points are very important if we want to survive here. Points can be exchanged for our daily necessities and various services within the base."

One team member asked curiously, "So what can we do to get more points and supplies?"

Zhang Ren introduced: "I went to the mission hall to learn about this. There are many ways to get points. First, we can get corresponding mission points through various tasks issued by the base, such as clearing zombies, mutant plants and animals, searching for supplies, etc.; secondly, if you don't want to take risks outside the base, you can consider opening some shops in the base and exchanging items for points, or you can go to shops, hospitals, schools and other places to apply for some jobs; the last way is to make certain contributions to the base, such as discovering new zombies or mutant plants and animals, etc., which can also get points rewards.

In general, there are many ways to gain points within the base."

Hearing this, the team members started talking.

Some were interested in the cleaning mission, some wanted to open shops to make money, and those like Doctor Liu who had a special skill wanted to open a small clinic. Anyway, they had brought all the medical equipment, both Chinese and Western medicine doctors, as well as Xiaolian who had the healing ability, so they were not worried about no one coming to see the doctor.

Seeing everyone talking about it, An Ning clapped her hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Okay, everyone, think about it first, and report your ideas tomorrow."
