Wuxiang helped the others return to normal. They clearly didn't know what had happened, only seeing the expressions on the two of them, it seemed their conversation was over.
"You still have other relatives in this world, don't worry, I will help you take care of them."
"Okay." Chong Yan then said, "Thank you."
He went to find his parents and brother in this world, explained the situation to them simply and clearly, and expressed his intention to leave.
Father Shen and Mother Shen found this somewhat difficult to accept, but for him who had regained his memory, no one in this world was more important than Zhu Lin. No one could stop his footsteps.
Shen Qian smiled with an easy expression, "I guessed long ago that you two were unusual, you really are saviors. Go ahead, I'll take care of Mom and Dad. Be safe. I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again, but have a safe journey."
"Thanks, brother."
He said goodbye to the two elders again, then disappeared into thin air with Jin Li.
The base had no intention of hiding Shen Chong Yan's departure. Soon, everyone knew that their top expert was gone. This even led to several riots in the Lin City Base.
Through these riots, they discovered one thing: although Shen Chong Yan was gone, a much more ferocious young girl had arrived.
Shen Chong Yan at least wouldn't kill normal fellow humans, but Wuxiang had no such qualms. She could see a person's good or evil at a glance. For those who deliberately stirred up trouble and harmed others, some didn't even get a chance to defend themselves before exploding into a cloud of blood mist in full view of everyone.
After this happened a few more times, let alone causing trouble, several small groups that had been restless immediately quieted down, afraid that even a small action on their part would attract her attention, leading to them receiving a blood mist or minced meat gift package.
Of course, Wuxiang's behavior often drew criticism.
Rong Jin was possessing a mixed-race girl this time. She had been open-minded since childhood and hadn't dated anyone before meeting Wuxiang. Upon realizing Wuxiang's unusual feelings for her, she not only didn't retreat but actively pursued her.
One pursued, the other acquiesced. These two often engaged in out-of-line behavior in front of others. For instance, now, even though they were in a meeting, Wuxiang insisted on keeping someone unimportant by her side, exchanging glances and secret signals with her, making others afraid to look at them.
Wuxiang's current body had just come of age. Due to the apocalypse, she appeared somewhat thin. Rong Jin was also in her early twenties. The two of them together always gave a sense of incongruity. If their roles were reversed, they would be the "unruly children" in others' mouths.
"Continue, what are you looking at us for?"
Jin Wenye coughed lightly, bringing the others' attention back to them. "Let's continue. Minister Zhou was saying, if no one has any objections, we'll collect materials first and start construction once we're ready."
"Okay, but the research department needs to work overtime to produce more recovery medicine. We need to expand cultivation, and the demand for recovery medicine is quite high."
A man in a white lab coat said, "We are preparing for that."
Jin Wenye stood up. "Besides the above, does anyone else have anything to add? If not, today's meeting..."
"Mr. Jin." A middle-aged man also stood up. "I have someone under me who was rescued by Mr. Shen from H City three years ago. He was a special forces soldier from A City. Recently, when he contacted people from A City, he said a portion of people in A City wanted to come over, but they were worried about the danger on the road and asked our people to escort them." Su Dan Novel Network.
A City Base was indeed the survivor base with the largest population, but it had now disintegrated. It was no longer managed by a single organization but was divided into several "factions." People who believed in the same ideology or had common interests gathered together, and different factions attacked each other.
Although there was no large-scale infighting, it had always been unstable. A few deaths every now and then had become commonplace.
In such a situation, many people who didn't want to participate in human warfare wanted to escape from there, but they had nowhere to go, as the road was the most dangerous.
"How many people?"
"Over two thousand."
Before Jin Wenye could speak, someone interjected, "With so many people coming from A City, did something happen?"
The middle-aged soldier replied, "It's not peaceful. I heard that the two city districts that split off years ago are about to fight, intending to bring A City back under one force for easier management."
Such unification usually had two methods: one was that the power difference between the two sides was large, with one side's power and prestige far surpassing the other, and the weaker side surrendered to the stronger one; the other was a direct fight, whoever won became the boss.
The two main factions in A City were evenly matched. One was the "commoners" representing a large number of ordinary ability users, and the other was the privileged nobility from the city's founding. The former considered themselves extraordinary, while the latter prided themselves on their nobility. The two sides had always fought fiercely, and even other bases had intervened to mediate.
However, it had no effect.
Now that the news of the two sides officially going to war had spread, many people in A City who didn't want to participate in their struggle wanted to leave. At this time, Lin City Base, as the most influential base in the world, became their best choice.
However, there were too many people wanting to leave, and the journey was too dangerous. They had to send messages asking for help, as there had been precedents before, and they were not worried that Lin City Base would refuse.
Jin Wenye did not refuse, nor did he immediately agree.
He said, "Let's discuss it first, and then vote on whether to accept them. After all, the journey is quite dangerous, and sending people there can also lead to accidents."
The others then began to discuss heatedly.
They would definitely have to go, but which specific people would go needed to be discussed privately. Thus, after more than ten minutes, everyone left one after another.
A woman who remained looked at Wuxiang and asked, "Why not invite this lady to go? Her abilities are on par with Mr. Shen's. If she goes, there will surely be no danger."
Wuxiang scratched Rong Jin's palm with her finger, seemingly not hearing others discussing her.
"How do you know there will be no danger?" Rong Jin asked, sounding a bit unconvinced. "Who can guarantee that one won't encounter danger when going out?"
Jin Wenye knew more than the others in the base, and he was a little troubled by this question. He looked at Wuxiang and, seeing that she seemed to have no reaction, said, "Going or not is a matter of freedom. If you want to go, go. Don't mind others."
The woman wanted to say more but was led away by another man.
Jin Wenye looked at her for a while. He didn't want to morally blackmail anyone, nor did he want to see others go to their deaths. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "...I do hope you go, but if you're unwilling, no one can force you."
After all, no one could defeat her.
Wuxiang was perfectly aware of this. While playing with Rong Jin's golden hair, she said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Hypocritical."
Jin Wenye: "..."
