Dedicated every day to make Master go crazy
Chapter 47: Modern End Times 2.17
Five years later, ten years in the last days.
Ningcheng Base.
This is a small base in the last days. It is not very eye-catching, and the location is not very good. It is located in the original Ningxia Plain.This place is open and densely populated, and it is not a good place to defend in the last days.
But fortunately, the Ningxia Plain has been known as the "Land of Abundance" since ancient times, and it is rich in products. Before the end of the world, a lot of food was stored, and this has persisted until now.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, there were countless such small bases, but as time went on and the apocalypse deepened, it became more and more difficult for such a single, small base to survive.
Today, there are no more than fifteen small bases like the Ningcheng Base in the entire country.
If it weren't for the fact that the Ningcheng base has an innate advantage of abundant resources, and the leader of the base is really a good leader who cares for the people wholeheartedly, the Ningcheng base must have ceased to exist long ago.
But even so, with the gradual increase of the number of years in the last days, the powerlessness of the Ningcheng base began to become more and more obvious, so obvious that people could not ignore it.
Perhaps in another two years, the Ningcheng base will become a dead city.
I heard that the northern base and the southern base will not be like this.
Not to mention the well-equipped facilities of these two bases, there are also a large number of supernatural beings in the base. It is said that just picking out a humble supernatural team leader can become a big shot that ordinary small bases can't invite.
Not to mention that there are two great masters, Gu Zhichuan and Xie Jingtong, guarding these two bases.
No matter how big the crisis is, as long as the two of them make a move, it can be resolved instantly.
I don't know if I will have the opportunity to visit these two bases in my life.
But at least he had to wait until he had repaid the kindness of the leader of the Ningcheng base.The leader of the base saved her life in the early days of the end of the world, and she couldn't leave at this time regardless of his life or death.
That old man is good at everything, but he is too old-fashioned. He insists on guarding such a city that is doomed to be irretrievable, and the ordinary people in this city are fighting against the end of the world, and he refuses to leave with him no matter what.
The woman in thick black casual clothes and slacks sighed while thinking about it.
She dug out the water bottle in her backpack, glanced at the remaining capacity, poured half of the bottle of water into her palm, and just washed the dirt and blood on her face.
The blood of the zombies carries the zombie virus. Even if she is a supernatural being, it will have a certain impact if she is exposed to it for a long time. Therefore, experienced zombie hunters know that they should not feel sorry for the water source in this regard.
The woman had a delicate face, and her complexion was dark due to hunting all year round. She had extremely black and beautiful long hair, which was being combed into a thick braid and hanging behind her head.
It's not such a gorgeous appearance, but the corners of the eyes and brows are full of heroism, and the eyes are even more agile.
The woman sat and rested for a while, raised her head and drank a couple of sips of water, then packed her backpack and got up to leave.
In the last days, zombie hunters are a very common occupation. Most bases have a reward mechanism that uses the number of zombies killed in exchange for supplies, and all the gains along the way can be owned by the hunter himself.
But it is rare for a woman to support her own base by killing zombies and exchanging supplies for other larger bases.
The woman looked at the things in her backpack, and felt that today's harvest was almost enough. She was about to get up and rush back, but suddenly heard thunderous noises not far away.
The woman stood stunned for a moment, but in the next second her years of hunting career made her react instantly - this voice was clearly a wave of zombies!
The tide of zombies is a nightmare for everyone in the last days.
A small-scale wave of zombies still has the power to fight, but a large-scale wave of zombies is simply impossible for people to start.
Hundreds of zombies are dispatched together, and there is a high probability that there will be many high-level zombies among them.
Moreover, the formation of the zombie wave is mutually attractive, which means that you may have managed to eliminate nearly a hundred zombies in front of you, and in a blink of an eye, another group of zombies of the same size came.
Even those supernatural teams that have been established for a long time and cooperate well with each other can only do nothing about it.
Not to mention the situation encountered by a single person like a woman.
It can almost be said that there is no possibility of survival.
How could this be? Before she came out today, she clearly checked the situation and made sure that there was no zombie wave that was about to form nearby before she left the base!
Now like this...
But no matter what you say, you can't sit still!
If he died, the old man really had no hope.
The woman gritted her teeth, and clenched the bow|crossbow that she carried close to her body in her hand—she is an ancient martial artist with supernatural powers, and the supernatural power is this bow|crossbow.
The bow | crossbow fired by the supernatural power can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps and hit every shot with a hundred shots, and it is so powerful that no bow | arrow is needed. With the woman's current supernatural power level, it can kill nearly ten zombies at the same time with one shot.
The woman is also the person with the highest level of abilities in the Ningcheng base, and many surrounding bases want to poach her to their own base.
But despite this, it is really too much for one person to deal with so many zombies...
Listen to the voice, there are at least [-] zombies in this wave of zombies!
The woman tried her best to calm herself down and set up her bow | crossbow.
As soon as the ability was fired, the few zombies walking in the front fell instantly.
But it's still...
As time went by, the woman gradually felt that she was powerless, and her eyes began to turn black.
Just when the woman thought that she might die this time, she suddenly heard thunder in her ears.
thunder?
Is it going to rain?
It shouldn't be... this season.
The woman raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of the thunder.
This glance made her eyes widen in an instant, and she was shocked.
Many years later, the woman still remembers the scene at that time.
And the astonishment when I first saw this.
It was actually a little dark at this point.
The sun was sinking and the sky was indigo.
A group of zombies gathered not far away.
These zombies are hideous and extremely terrifying, and they can still be seen as far as the horizon spreads.
It's a picture that looks terrifying to the point of despair.
But in this picture, the group of zombies is only on top, but there is another color.
It was a thunderous dark purple.
The sky is full of fire.
Before today, the woman never knew that the color of Lei Huo could be so gorgeous, so gorgeous...full of hope.
living hope.
Just now it seemed that the zombie wave was so huge that she felt that it was completely invincible, but now under the thunder and fire, it was as fragile as a paper pinwheel in the hands of a child.
After only a slight burn, it shattered into dust and turned into ashes.
There is no fighting back.
The woman stared blankly at this scene, and at the same time looked at the man standing amidst the thunder and fire.
The man stood near the horizon not far away, surrounded by flames and countless zombies.
No matter which of the two is extremely dangerous to ordinary people, but around men, they seem to be nothing.
Zombies with fangs and sharp claws that can kill people's intestines at a touch are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of him, and they have been burned to death before they get close to him; The surroundings are more like well-behaved and obedient children, they burn around the man, protecting his side tightly, but they won't hurt him at all.
The countless zombie hordes were quickly wiped out.
The flames beside the man slowly extinguished, as if the child who had completed the task began to obediently return to his father's arms.
In the last glimmer of thunder, the woman finally waited until the man raised his head and looked at her.
The moment she saw the man's face clearly, the woman couldn't help holding her breath.
I don't know if it's because the man's supernatural power gave her too much shock just now. Looking at the man's face at this moment, the woman has a feeling of seeing a god in the sky.
If it weren't for the gods, how could anyone have such...a handsome and fierce appearance.
There was a whole world of blood and swords in his eyebrows, and he rushed towards the woman in an instant, so powerful that the woman had the urge to kneel at that moment.
She just thought that all the flames in the sky had melted into the man's body.
But now, it seems that all of them have melted into his eyes.
The man's eyes were full of fire and thunder, and when people looked into his eyes, it was as if they saw a whole forest of thunder and fire.
*****
Three 10 minutes later.
Ningcheng Base.
The woman sitting in the VIP room of the reception center kept pushing various things in front of the man, and at the same time uncontrollably and secretly looked at him with her eyes.
Those eyes seemed to be looking up at some fairy-like figure.
"City Master Xie, you eat, you eat, I just bought these back today, they are very fresh." Zhao Ke'er piled up all the things in front of Xie Jingtong with a respectful tone and gesture like offering an offering, and said, "You If you're not satisfied, I'll find another one for you."
Even his expression was full of admiration.
"No need." Xie Jingtong glanced at her and said coldly, "I'm not hungry."
"Then...you drink water, Uncle Liu should be here soon." Zhao Ke'er was embarrassed for a second, and then pushed the tea in front of Xie Jingtong in the next second, "Thank you for saving me just now."
Xie Jingtong glanced at her, and finally reached out to pick up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and accepted Zhao Keer's thanks.
Zhao Ke'er now simply regards Xie Jingtong as a god, and seeing him drink the water she poured, she feels extremely satisfied in her heart, and has a feeling that her whole body has been sublimated.
Xie Jingtong was not a talkative person, he stopped talking to Zhao Ke'er after drinking water, and his brows and eyes were very cold.
But Zhao Ke'er didn't think there was anything wrong at all, on the contrary, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Xie Jingtong was really outstanding.
See how elegant the act of drinking water is, how noble the act of lowering the eyes is.
Look at how handsome the facial features are, how beautiful the eyebrows and eyes are.
Those eyelashes, those fingers, that waist, that leg, that collarbone...
How could there be such a good-looking person in this world, such a sharp-looking person, and such a noble person!
It turns out that the legendary Southern Base City Lord Xie actually looks like this!
No wonder so many people in the last days worship him as a god, it really is not for nothing!
Zhao Keer was thinking wildly, but the door to the side suddenly opened.
What came in was a man in military | uniform, about sixty years old, and in good spirits.
It is the leader of the Ningcheng base, that is, the "Uncle Liu" that Zhao Ke'er just said.
When Xie Jingtong saw the military uniform on Uncle Liu, he frowned almost uncontrollably at that moment, and there seemed to be a gleam of disgust in his eyes.
But soon he restrained his gaffe, and returned to such a cold look.
The change in Xie Jingtong's eyes just now was only for a moment, Uncle Liu didn't see it, but Zhao Ke'er who was on the side noticed it.
The woman frowned, feeling a little puzzled in her heart, what happened to the city lord Xie just now?
As soon as Uncle Liu entered the door, his eyes lit up when he saw Xie Jingtong. Obviously, he was very excited to see Xie Jingtong, a legend of the end of the world, but where is his age and experience? The majesty and righteousness all over her body were not fake, and she quickly recovered her composure, which was more than a little bit better than Zhao Ke'er.
Of course, when Uncle Liu spoke to Xie Jingtong, his tone was still full of excitement.
He first expressed his welcome to Xie Jingtong's arrival and his gratitude to him for saving Zhao Ke'er, and after some pleasantries, he sat down on the sofa opposite Xie Jingtong: "I heard from Keer that the city lord Xie came to Ningcheng this time. To find someone? I don’t know if it is to find someone? No matter who it is, since it was entrusted by City Lord Xie, Ning Cheng will definitely do his best to help find it.”
As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then said as if he was a little embarrassed: "But after this incident, can I ask City Lord Xie to do Ning Cheng a favor? You must have seen it when you came today. After so many years, Ning Cheng really couldn't hold on any longer. My old man didn't have a few years to live anyway, so he died when he died, but the family members in this city are really..."
Speaking of which, Uncle Liu stood up, but bent down towards Xie Jingtong: "I heard that the southern base can take in ordinary people. Most of the rest here are women and children. Their husbands and fathers were there to protect me. Ning Cheng died, I promised them that I would take good care of their families, but now..."
"Although it seems that my old man is a bit shameless to say this, I still want to ask City Lord Xie to take them in. The defense missions along the way in the past don't matter. We still have a few teams of supernatural beings in Ningcheng. If it doesn't work, my old man can still fight A few zombies, the remaining supplies and armaments of the Ningcheng base can also be owned by the southern base, as long as the city lord Xie can..."
Before Uncle Liu finished speaking, Xie Jingtong interrupted him and said, "As long as you are not from the northern base, the southern base welcomes people from all bases in the country to join us. Women and children are the future of a base, and the southern base will naturally sweep the couch Greet you. Master Liu doesn't have to worry about escorting people, you can go south with me when the time comes."
"Okay, okay!" Liu Shulian said three good words before he stopped. The man stopped the tears in his eyes and said, "Since that's the case, Xie Cheng is looking for someone, just tell me! As long as this person is in my Ningcheng base, I will definitely Help you find it."
Xie Jingtong nodded.
The man took out a photo from his pocket and pushed it in front of Uncle Liu.
In the photo is a man.
"Thank you." Xie Jingtong glanced at the photo, his tone was cold, but the thoughts in his eyes were really complicated. He looked at the photo for a long time before continuing to speak. Xie Jingtong lowered his eyes, "It should be here six years ago. A power-type supernatural being, 29 years old this year."
"He is the ... family member of Su Yue, an important member of my base. I heard that someone has seen him here. If Xie Fu is really in Ningcheng, I hope Master Liu can tell me his whereabouts."
Zhao Ke'er and Uncle Liu were stunned and looked at each other.
If they remember correctly, according to the rumors that have been circulating, isn't Su Yue the sweetheart of City Lord Xie?
City Lord Xie is helping his sweetheart find... his lost lover?
*****
northern base.
The woman with blond curly hair held a stack of things in her hand and pushed open the door of an office in the office.
This is a spacious, but very simple and clear office.
The style of the whole office is cold and hard, most of the furniture used are wooden, only the fabric sofa near the window and the wool carpet under the sofa are soft.
As soon as the woman walked into the office, without saying anything else, she went directly to the desk, put a stack of things in her hand on the desk, and pushed it in front of the man sitting behind the desk: "No. 20 nine times .”
Sitting behind the desk is a man, about 28|nine years old, wearing a military|military uniform, and the word "cold" seems to be written all over his body.
Hearing the woman's words, the man's hand that was writing the official document paused for a moment, and he put down the pen in his hand after a while, and reached out to take the document that the woman had just placed on the table: "He... still refuses to communicate with the northern base." cooperate?"
His voice was a little hoarse.
Lu Shiran couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "It's been 29 times, and every time I don't even want to meet people from the northern base, what do you think, City Master Gu?"
"If you want me to tell you, City Lord, don't be too imaginative." Lu Shiran continued, "Don't even think about the relationship Xie Jingtong had with you in the past. If I were him, I wouldn't be willing to cooperate with the northern base."
"Everyone in the last days knows that the relationship between Xie Jingtong and you is like fire and water. No one will cooperate with their enemies."
Gu Zhichuan didn't speak.
Lu Shiran looked at him with lowered eyebrows and silent expression, feeling extremely helpless in his heart: "No, City Lord, what are you thinking? Obviously there is no possibility, so let's not try it, okay? There are many things in the northern base every day, and I But I don’t have time to spend every day with you on this matter.”
This is the first time in five years that Lu Shiran told Gu Zhichuan so clearly that "this is impossible".
Gu Zhichuan was silent for a long time, and Lu Shiran's words seemed to shatter the only hope left in his heart, which he had been reluctant to believe and wishful thinking to deceive himself.
After a while, Gu Zhichuan spoke again, the man's voice was very hoarse this time.
He stared blankly at the documents in front of him, his eyes were far away, and he didn't know what he thought through the stack of documents: "Did you...see him? Does he look...okay?"
"City Lord, didn't I say that Xie Jingtong didn't want to see anyone from the northern base at all, can I be an exception?" Moreover, according to your previous practice, I am afraid that the last thing Xie Jingtong wants to see now is their former "old friends" up.
Seeing that Gu Zhichuan's eyes were blank, Lu Shiran still couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, Lu Shiran said, "But I asked, and I said that City Lord Xie is not in the southern base recently. He said he was looking for something outside for Su Yue. Something. He has superpowers, but he won't be followed, and the people in the southern base don't know his specific whereabouts."
"But there won't be any danger." Seeing Gu Zhichuan paused for a moment, his eyes filled with nervousness, Lu Shiran sighed, "After all, everyone in the last days knows that City Lord Xie has a sweetheart called Su Yue, City Lord Xie likes her very much. And City Lord Xie's sweetheart is an ordinary person, so he has always cherished his life."
After hearing the intense emotion in Gu Zhichuan's eyes, he finally slowly returned to his original state.
He sat there silent for a long time, so silent that Lu Shiran thought that he would not speak again, but he suddenly said: "He doesn't want to see other people, so if I go to talk to him in person, will he... "
When Gu Zhichuan said this, his tone was very slow, and the pause in that sentence gave Lu Shiran a feeling that he was really thinking about this issue seriously.
Lu Shiran was taken aback: "City Lord, please don't scare me! The Southern Base is Xie Jingtong's place. Xie Jingtong hates you to the bone. If you really go...he will definitely kill you there!"
"Don't make fun of your own life and the future of the northern base!"
"Well, I know." Gu Zhichuan heard Lu Shiran's words, but the light in his eyes dimmed a little bit.His eyes were gloomy, and at that moment, Lu Shiran even gave Lu Shiran the feeling that he was about to cry.
However, Gu Zhichuan paused for a long while, but looked at the document in front of him and stretched out his hand to gently rub the end of the document.
Lu Shiran knew where it was - it should be the place where Xie Jingtong signed his name.
Gu Zhichuan laughed softly: "I know, I just... miss him a little bit."
I just kind of miss him...
Gu Zhichuan looked at the information in his hand, but his brows and eyes softened, and his brows were filled with tender feelings for an instant, which was so gentle that it made people feel sad: "The peaches at home are finally ripe this year, and Jing Tong hasn't eaten them before. Come on, I want to pick it for him to eat."
Lu Shiran opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything for a while.
She thought of the garden in the Gu family's villa, where half peach trees and half green bamboos were planted.
She remembered that five years ago she watched Gu Zhichuan go outside the base alone, and he walked all over the vicinity, carefully and carefully selecting saplings.
Just like eight years ago.
It was the same for Gu Zhichuan at that time, the man traveled all over a radius of ten li, just to find these peach trees and green bamboos for Xie Jingtong.
The land is seriously polluted in the last days. Peach trees and green bamboos are plants that are extremely dependent on the soil. Under such circumstances, naturally there are not many left in the whole country.
Gu Zhichuan traveled so many places before he found those few plants for Xie Jingtong.
He found peach trees for him only because it was said that Xie Jingtong liked to eat peaches.Xie Jingtong ate a lot of peaches in the post-apocalyptic years, he must not know how precious a peach is in the apocalyptic world, Gu Zhichuan himself was not willing to eat one.
He found green bamboo for him only because Xie Jingtong wanted to try the northern characteristic "Bamboo Leaf Burning" when he first came to the northern base.
Gu Zhichuan took good care of those peach trees and green bamboos for three years.
Then five years ago, when Xie Jingtong awakened his supernatural power, only two places in the entire northern base were burned down by thunder and fire. One was the hut where he awakened, and the other was the garden of the Gu family's villa.
That day after Gu Zhichuan returned to the villa, he sat blankly in the garden for a long time.
Before today, he had hugged Xie Jing and told him that next year he could pick peaches for him to eat, but now, there was only a piece of charred ruins left here.
The peach hanging on the branch that Xie Jingtong had so easily but was heartlessly burned was clearly Gu Zhichuan's heart.
He hung his heart on the tree, and said to him in a reserved and flat tone, "You can pick it", but in a blink of an eye, Xie Jingtong burned it clean.
Gu Zhichuan sat in the garden of the villa for three days and three nights without a drop of water entering.
Thinking about it, it seems that Xie Jingtong will never understand how much Gu Zhichuan likes him, and Gu Zhichuan will never understand. To him, this peach forest may be a treasure that he wholeheartedly wants to please his sweetheart. For Xie Jingtong , but just a shame.
After Gu Zhichuan sat in the garden for three days and three nights, he went out alone again and found the peach trees and green bamboos in the yard again.
Now that five years have passed, the peaches have matured again, but this time Gu Zhichuan has no one to hug him, and then he said "I'll pick it for you" in that person's ear.
If you like it, I will pick it for you every year.
Everyone in the last days knows that Xie Jingtong has a sweetheart named Su Yue.
But no one knew that Gu Zhichuan also had a sweetheart named Xie Jingtong.
Ningcheng Base.
This is a small base in the last days. It is not very eye-catching, and the location is not very good. It is located in the original Ningxia Plain.This place is open and densely populated, and it is not a good place to defend in the last days.

Three 10 minutes later.
Ningcheng Base.
The woman sitting in the VIP room of the reception center kept pushing various things in front of the man, and at the same time uncontrollably and secretly looked at him with her eyes.
Those eyes seemed to be looking up at some fairy-like figure.
"City Master Xie, you eat, you eat, I just bought these back today, they are very fresh." Zhao Ke'er piled up all the things in front of Xie Jingtong with a respectful tone and gesture like offering an offering, and said, "You If you're not satisfied, I'll find another one for you."
Even his expression was full of admiration.
"No need." Xie Jingtong glanced at her and said coldly, "I'm not hungry."
"Then...you drink water, Uncle Liu should be here soon." Zhao Ke'er was embarrassed for a second, and then pushed the tea in front of Xie Jingtong in the next second, "Thank you for saving me just now."
Xie Jingtong glanced at her, and finally reached out to pick up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and accepted Zhao Keer's thanks.
Zhao Ke'er now simply regards Xie Jingtong as a god, and seeing him drink the water she poured, she feels extremely satisfied in her heart, and has a feeling that her whole body has been sublimated.
Xie Jingtong was not a talkative person, he stopped talking to Zhao Ke'er after drinking water, and his brows and eyes were very cold.
But Zhao Ke'er didn't think there was anything wrong at all, on the contrary, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Xie Jingtong was really outstanding.
See how elegant the act of drinking water is, how noble the act of lowering the eyes is.
Look at how handsome the facial features are, how beautiful the eyebrows and eyes are.
Those eyelashes, those fingers, that waist, that leg, that collarbone...
How could there be such a good-looking person in this world, such a sharp-looking person, and such a noble person!
It turns out that the legendary Southern Base City Lord Xie actually looks like this!
No wonder so many people in the last days worship him as a god, it really is not for nothing!
Zhao Keer was thinking wildly, but the door to the side suddenly opened.
What came in was a man in military | uniform, about sixty years old, and in good spirits.
It is the leader of the Ningcheng base, that is, the "Uncle Liu" that Zhao Ke'er just said.
When Xie Jingtong saw the military uniform on Uncle Liu, he frowned almost uncontrollably at that moment, and there seemed to be a gleam of disgust in his eyes.
But soon he restrained his gaffe, and returned to such a cold look.
The change in Xie Jingtong's eyes just now was only for a moment, Uncle Liu didn't see it, but Zhao Ke'er who was on the side noticed it.
The woman frowned, feeling a little puzzled in her heart, what happened to the city lord Xie just now?
As soon as Uncle Liu entered the door, his eyes lit up when he saw Xie Jingtong. Obviously, he was very excited to see Xie Jingtong, a legend of the end of the world, but where is his age and experience? The majesty and righteousness all over her body were not fake, and she quickly recovered her composure, which was more than a little bit better than Zhao Ke'er.
Of course, when Uncle Liu spoke to Xie Jingtong, his tone was still full of excitement.
He first expressed his welcome to Xie Jingtong's arrival and his gratitude to him for saving Zhao Ke'er, and after some pleasantries, he sat down on the sofa opposite Xie Jingtong: "I heard from Keer that the city lord Xie came to Ningcheng this time. To find someone? I don’t know if it is to find someone? No matter who it is, since it was entrusted by City Lord Xie, Ning Cheng will definitely do his best to help find it.”
As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then said as if he was a little embarrassed: "But after this incident, can I ask City Lord Xie to do Ning Cheng a favor? You must have seen it when you came today. After so many years, Ning Cheng really couldn't hold on any longer. My old man didn't have a few years to live anyway, so he died when he died, but the family members in this city are really..."
Speaking of which, Uncle Liu stood up, but bent down towards Xie Jingtong: "I heard that the southern base can take in ordinary people. Most of the rest here are women and children. Their husbands and fathers were there to protect me. Ning Cheng died, I promised them that I would take good care of their families, but now..."
"Although it seems that my old man is a bit shameless to say this, I still want to ask City Lord Xie to take them in. The defense missions along the way in the past don't matter. We still have a few teams of supernatural beings in Ningcheng. If it doesn't work, my old man can still fight A few zombies, the remaining supplies and armaments of the Ningcheng base can also be owned by the southern base, as long as the city lord Xie can..."
Before Uncle Liu finished speaking, Xie Jingtong interrupted him and said, "As long as you are not from the northern base, the southern base welcomes people from all bases in the country to join us. Women and children are the future of a base, and the southern base will naturally sweep the couch Greet you. Master Liu doesn't have to worry about escorting people, you can go south with me when the time comes."
"Okay, okay!" Liu Shulian said three good words before he stopped. The man stopped the tears in his eyes and said, "Since that's the case, Xie Cheng is looking for someone, just tell me! As long as this person is in my Ningcheng base, I will definitely Help you find it."
Xie Jingtong nodded.
The man took out a photo from his pocket and pushed it in front of Uncle Liu.
In the photo is a man.
"Thank you." Xie Jingtong glanced at the photo, his tone was cold, but the thoughts in his eyes were really complicated. He looked at the photo for a long time before continuing to speak. Xie Jingtong lowered his eyes, "It should be here six years ago. A power-type supernatural being, 29 years old this year."
"He is the ... family member of Su Yue, an important member of my base. I heard that someone has seen him here. If Xie Fu is really in Ningcheng, I hope Master Liu can tell me his whereabouts."
Zhao Ke'er and Uncle Liu were stunned and looked at each other.
If they remember correctly, according to the rumors that have been circulating, isn't Su Yue the sweetheart of City Lord Xie?
City Lord Xie is helping his sweetheart find... his lost lover?
*****
northern base.
The woman with blond curly hair held a stack of things in her hand and pushed open the door of an office in the office.
This is a spacious, but very simple and clear office.
The style of the whole office is cold and hard, most of the furniture used are wooden, only the fabric sofa near the window and the wool carpet under the sofa are soft.
As soon as the woman walked into the office, without saying anything else, she went directly to the desk, put a stack of things in her hand on the desk, and pushed it in front of the man sitting behind the desk: "No. 20 nine times .”
Sitting behind the desk is a man, about 28|nine years old, wearing a military|military uniform, and the word "cold" seems to be written all over his body.
Hearing the woman's words, the man's hand that was writing the official document paused for a moment, and he put down the pen in his hand after a while, and reached out to take the document that the woman had just placed on the table: "He... still refuses to communicate with the northern base." cooperate?"
His voice was a little hoarse.
Lu Shiran couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "It's been 29 times, and every time I don't even want to meet people from the northern base, what do you think, City Master Gu?"
"If you want me to tell you, City Lord, don't be too imaginative." Lu Shiran continued, "Don't even think about the relationship Xie Jingtong had with you in the past. If I were him, I wouldn't be willing to cooperate with the northern base."
"Everyone in the last days knows that the relationship between Xie Jingtong and you is like fire and water. No one will cooperate with their enemies."
Gu Zhichuan didn't speak.
Lu Shiran looked at him with lowered eyebrows and silent expression, feeling extremely helpless in his heart: "No, City Lord, what are you thinking? Obviously there is no possibility, so let's not try it, okay? There are many things in the northern base every day, and I But I don’t have time to spend every day with you on this matter.”
This is the first time in five years that Lu Shiran told Gu Zhichuan so clearly that "this is impossible".
Gu Zhichuan was silent for a long time, and Lu Shiran's words seemed to shatter the only hope left in his heart, which he had been reluctant to believe and wishful thinking to deceive himself.
After a while, Gu Zhichuan spoke again, the man's voice was very hoarse this time.
He stared blankly at the documents in front of him, his eyes were far away, and he didn't know what he thought through the stack of documents: "Did you...see him? Does he look...okay?"
"City Lord, didn't I say that Xie Jingtong didn't want to see anyone from the northern base at all, can I be an exception?" Moreover, according to your previous practice, I am afraid that the last thing Xie Jingtong wants to see now is their former "old friends" up.
Seeing that Gu Zhichuan's eyes were blank, Lu Shiran still couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, Lu Shiran said, "But I asked, and I said that City Lord Xie is not in the southern base recently. He said he was looking for something outside for Su Yue. Something. He has superpowers, but he won't be followed, and the people in the southern base don't know his specific whereabouts."
"But there won't be any danger." Seeing Gu Zhichuan paused for a moment, his eyes filled with nervousness, Lu Shiran sighed, "After all, everyone in the last days knows that City Lord Xie has a sweetheart called Su Yue, City Lord Xie likes her very much. And City Lord Xie's sweetheart is an ordinary person, so he has always cherished his life."
After hearing the intense emotion in Gu Zhichuan's eyes, he finally slowly returned to his original state.
He sat there silent for a long time, so silent that Lu Shiran thought that he would not speak again, but he suddenly said: "He doesn't want to see other people, so if I go to talk to him in person, will he... "
When Gu Zhichuan said this, his tone was very slow, and the pause in that sentence gave Lu Shiran a feeling that he was really thinking about this issue seriously.
Lu Shiran was taken aback: "City Lord, please don't scare me! The Southern Base is Xie Jingtong's place. Xie Jingtong hates you to the bone. If you really go...he will definitely kill you there!"
"Don't make fun of your own life and the future of the northern base!"
"Well, I know." Gu Zhichuan heard Lu Shiran's words, but the light in his eyes dimmed a little bit.His eyes were gloomy, and at that moment, Lu Shiran even gave Lu Shiran the feeling that he was about to cry.
However, Gu Zhichuan paused for a long while, but looked at the document in front of him and stretched out his hand to gently rub the end of the document.
Lu Shiran knew where it was - it should be the place where Xie Jingtong signed his name.
Gu Zhichuan laughed softly: "I know, I just... miss him a little bit."
I just kind of miss him...
Gu Zhichuan looked at the information in his hand, but his brows and eyes softened, and his brows were filled with tender feelings for an instant, which was so gentle that it made people feel sad: "The peaches at home are finally ripe this year, and Jing Tong hasn't eaten them before. Come on, I want to pick it for him to eat."
Lu Shiran opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything for a while.
She thought of the garden in the Gu family's villa, where half peach trees and half green bamboos were planted.
She remembered that five years ago she watched Gu Zhichuan go outside the base alone, and he walked all over the vicinity, carefully and carefully selecting saplings.
Just like eight years ago.
It was the same for Gu Zhichuan at that time, the man traveled all over a radius of ten li, just to find these peach trees and green bamboos for Xie Jingtong.
The land is seriously polluted in the last days. Peach trees and green bamboos are plants that are extremely dependent on the soil. Under such circumstances, naturally there are not many left in the whole country.
Gu Zhichuan traveled so many places before he found those few plants for Xie Jingtong.
He found peach trees for him only because it was said that Xie Jingtong liked to eat peaches.Xie Jingtong ate a lot of peaches in the post-apocalyptic years, he must not know how precious a peach is in the apocalyptic world, Gu Zhichuan himself was not willing to eat one.
He found green bamboo for him only because Xie Jingtong wanted to try the northern characteristic "Bamboo Leaf Burning" when he first came to the northern base.
Gu Zhichuan took good care of those peach trees and green bamboos for three years.
Then five years ago, when Xie Jingtong awakened his supernatural power, only two places in the entire northern base were burned down by thunder and fire. One was the hut where he awakened, and the other was the garden of the Gu family's villa.
That day after Gu Zhichuan returned to the villa, he sat blankly in the garden for a long time.
Before today, he had hugged Xie Jing and told him that next year he could pick peaches for him to eat, but now, there was only a piece of charred ruins left here.
The peach hanging on the branch that Xie Jingtong had so easily but was heartlessly burned was clearly Gu Zhichuan's heart.
He hung his heart on the tree, and said to him in a reserved and flat tone, "You can pick it", but in a blink of an eye, Xie Jingtong burned it clean.
Gu Zhichuan sat in the garden of the villa for three days and three nights without a drop of water entering.
Thinking about it, it seems that Xie Jingtong will never understand how much Gu Zhichuan likes him, and Gu Zhichuan will never understand. To him, this peach forest may be a treasure that he wholeheartedly wants to please his sweetheart. For Xie Jingtong , but just a shame.
After Gu Zhichuan sat in the garden for three days and three nights, he went out alone again and found the peach trees and green bamboos in the yard again.
Now that five years have passed, the peaches have matured again, but this time Gu Zhichuan has no one to hug him, and then he said "I'll pick it for you" in that person's ear.
If you like it, I will pick it for you every year.
Everyone in the last days knows that Xie Jingtong has a sweetheart named Su Yue.
But no one knew that Gu Zhichuan also had a sweetheart named Xie Jingtong.
