Chapter 359: Chapter 8: Chu Fa Da’s Patriotism
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Lei Yu felt a rush of joy—
"Chu River, you’re awake!"
How could he not be thrilled?
Just a second ago, he was prepared for the worst— for those struggling hard to survive in a disaster, becoming an idiot wasn’t the worst thing.
As long as life goes on, everything can be handled. Moreover, her spiritual power lasted so long against the insect bites, everyone had prepared themselves for the worst.
However, looking at the girl in front of him, clear-headed, though her face was still a bit pale and weary, but—
But now, everything feels amazing!
...
He excitedly leaned forward: "Thanks to you, we exterminated all the insects in the surrounding four provinces, the water source is untouched, and once Chang An recovers, the entire base can start the reclamation work!"
"Chu River, you’re definitely our base’s hero!"
It’s not just their base, even the four bases that came to assist are all in this state, they are in the land of fish and rice, if mobilized fully, despite the current small population, they could feed half of Zheng Country!
And, Chu River has endured despite her heavy injuries, surely Chang An will be okay too!
Lei Yu was getting more and more excited, at this moment it felt as if he was reporting to her, taking on a different, more talkative persona: "And that Song You, he really does seem off..."
As he spoke, a hand suddenly blocked his forehead.
The other person’s slender fingers clutched his forehead, so quickly that he didn’t have time to react, and felt himself being pushed back a step.
Successfully stepping on the doctor’s shoe next to him.
Meanwhile, on the hospital bed.
The young hero wiped her hands on her face, looked up at him: "If you’re going to report work, remember to keep some distance from me."
...
Lei Yu: ...
This demeanor... This is clearly the familiar demeanor Li Chang’an often has in private!
Oh dear.
At this moment, Lei Yu just wanted to check if Li Chang’an was still next door, his mind flooded with thoughts he should not have, encompassing medical miracles, feudal superstitions, and fantasy stories.
But at least he had some rationality.
So he took a deep breath: "Sorry, didn’t notice... But look at you, getting all cocky, who’s reporting work to you? Your rank isn’t even higher than mine right now."
Initially, he had no rapport with Chu River.
But when she replaced him in spiritual defense, maybe because it was too painful, she talked more to divert her attention, and that’s how Lei Yu became familiar with her.
Knowing her temper, he spoke with a playful tone.
And Chu River, sitting on the bed, extracted a few key points at the moment—
First, she excelled in protecting the base, making great contributions.
Second, she was hurt as a result, judging from the few words she heard vaguely, it was probably a spiritual power injury, nearly turning into an idiot.
Third, third was despite almost losing her life, her rank was still lower than this babbling man in front of her.
She deliberately pressed her chest with her hand—female.
Big achievements but not high rank.
The people around talked about it as if it were a matter of course...
So she thought inwardly—could this base be looking down on women!
She stared at Lei Yu, her expression not too friendly.
...
Lei Yu was also perplexed.
He touched his head, feeling inexplicably embarrassed, he quickly redirected the topic to the doctor next to him: "By the way, Chu River, since you’re awake, take this time to rest well, the base is about to start new work, during this period your supplies will be very ample, water too, perfect for nurturing your body."
"You can also think about what you want, I guess when Chang An wakes up, the first wave will be about rewarding merits hahahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Chu River felt more at ease— oh, it seems the overall in charge is also injured now, and her rank hasn’t risen, not because of disdain or lack of ability, just because the time hasn’t come.
She nodded, instinctively adopted her most proficient attitude when dealing with outsiders— though she herself didn’t know where she learned it from:
"Since that’s the case, how about you tell me about the current situation first."
Lei Yu: ???
Current situation of what?
The situation in the base?
...
Through the rough description by this babbling man, Chu River also grasped the current situation.
This is Mountain and Sea Star Political Country, three years ago, an unknown meteor wave killed all the plants on the surface.
Followed by drought.
Then a globally widespread insect plague.
