Chapter 378 - 14: "Apocalypse" End of This Volume_3
This also means that the treasure Song You kept hidden until her legs were broken has now become commonplace here.
Therefore, her madness is naturally understood.
In the prison where everyone looked down on her, the Spiritual Spring Space United States became a madman, attracting bullying and abuse.
It’s only self-inflicted pain.
...
At this moment, the Agricultural Research Institute worked tirelessly, finally cheers erupted in the dead of night.
Li Chang’an was awakened in the middle of the night and rushed to the Agricultural Research Institute, in the office filled with various experimental equipment, several agricultural experts, upon whom both the people and the nation placed high hopes, were moved to tears—
"We’ve discovered that the Spiritual Spring can purify radiation! Just a single drop can purify all the water sources in our base!"
Li Chang’an’s eyes narrowed—most freshwater resources remain unpolluted, but large areas of the ocean still contain radiation, predicted to remain high-risk for the next 30 years.
And now, can they really rely only on the Spiritual Spring?
"There’s even more!"
The experts led him to two trays of culture medium.
"Dilute the Spiritual Spring 40,000 times and soak the seeds, their quality and yield will undergo dramatic improvements! Yielding over two thousand jin per acre is not a dream! It can be done casually!"
The two trays held ordinary wheat seedlings, one cluster adorable, and the other as thick as a thumb, with heavy wheat ears hanging from the stalks.
Squeezing with a finger, one could feel the full embryos inside.
"Is it only the Spiritual Spring that’s effective?"
"Of course not!" Everyone’s faces brimmed with smiles: "The soil in this miraculous space, when mixed with local soil, speeds up plant growth."
"The water in the pond within the space is rich in nutrients, rapidly and gently stimulating one’s superpower potential..."
"Moreover, the plants within this space are naturally the best for seed preservation; their survival rates and disease resistance are simply too strong!"
Each discovery, every detail, all are heart-stirringly good news.
At this moment, any crisis, any bugs, any Song You, all were thrown from Li Chang’an’s mind.
For the first time, he let go of his restraint, striding freely in the laboratory, his expression one of joyful madness.
"We’re saved at last!"
The meager crop seeds they couldn’t afford to lose, the omnipresent radiation pollution outside, the trampling upon national dignity...
All of these are now in the past.
They have endured it all!
Now, it’s three years and six months since the Apocalypse.
...
Around the Red Star 24 Base, the ancient walls still stand tall and silent.
Standing atop the city wall, one can clearly see the vast expanse of the land filled with large machines and busy residents working non-stop.
Further out, the corn has grown taller than a person, its green husks wrapping their plump bodies, purplish yellow corn silk peeking out.
Elsewhere, large livestock farms have been formed, pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens have developed at scale.
Swallows and dragonflies fly in the sky, the last preserved life forms in Chu River’s species conservation bank.
Lei Yu has already headed to the frontier, where a more suitable battlefield awaits him, and upon his return, he may no longer be merely a security officer of the base.
Li Chang’an stands on the wall, gazing at the earth, feeling as if the burdens on his shoulders have been lifted—
This land has sacrificed too many people, but now, more people’s futures can finally be rebuilt.
Turning his head, Chu River stands beside him as well.
He feels a bit helpless: "With all your strength, haven’t you really considered farming to get some food?"
This lazy young woman really makes one feel helpless.
Chu River also sighs helplessly: "What can I exchange for food?"
"Nothing has grown yet, everything must be kept for seeds, eating meat without even a side dish, how could there be any taste?"
Moreover...
She still doesn’t remember who she used to be and has yet to regain her superpowers. But at this moment, looking at Li Chang’an, under the golden orange glow of the sunset, something subtly appeared on his figure, something she deeply desired.
It was a Spiritual Body that even Chu River couldn’t explain.
...
The sun slowly sets, brilliant rays entering Li Chang’an’s eyes, making him feel briefly as if his vision was blurred.
But it’s only temporary; amidst the blur, Li Chang’an laughs, his voice as helpless as ever, "Tonight, I’ll treat you to meat, how about corn stewed with ribs? Little He, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden emptiness filled his heart, plunging him into a realm of longing and loss, aimlessly unaware of the time and place.
At that moment, Chu River, as if driven by some supernatural force, gently lifted the Spiritual Body from him.
The space began to distort, the whole world becoming blurred.
