Chapter 363: Chapter 9: Chu Aiguo Truly Loves His Country_2
The other person laughed a little, somewhat embarrassed, "These are the eliminated bean seeds, not enough activity, can’t let them go to waste, so I thought I’d try and see if they could sprout..."
Chu River sighed, "When will these damned days return to normal? You talk about cooking a pot of spicy hot pot, with the bean sprouts cooked to a mush underneath..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s tears of emotion flowed from the corners of their mouths.
...
In the Spiritual Spring Space, Song You’s anger was nearly bursting from her heart!
Truly, greed is human nature!
She paid with her life to obtain this space, was reborn only six months ago, and spent great effort cultivating herself to fair and tender health, intending to get along well with Lei Yu...
Now, well, the base recovered, but she was trapped in this space! There’s no way out!
These people are so greedy, they pursue her relentlessly just based on a guess, if she dared to show herself, she might end up on a dissection table!
No!
Song You hugged herself tightly in the space, the once tranquil environment could no longer provide her with a sense of security, only infinite menace and agitation—it was imperative not to leave the space!
Otherwise, if she appeared in the original place, she wouldn’t be able to get out of this big iron cage no matter what!
She looked at the bountiful fruits within the space, the fish and shrimp, and then at the outside with a few people who treasured a bowl of bean sprouts as if it were gold, and laughed coldly in her heart—
Let’s see who can hold out longer!
...
Chu River wasn’t a very patient person either, squatting for three days without seeing a trace, at this point, pondered for a moment and turned to find Li Chang’an again.
"Leave the cage there, I think installing a monitor should be enough, no need for people to keep watch beside it."
Li Chang’an was still in the office arranging a planting plan with a bunch of agriculture bigwigs, casually nodded upon hearing this, "Alright."
Chu River was shocked.
"Aren’t you going to ask me why?"
She felt confident again—it seemed her status in the base was still quite significant, only not as important as pigs.
Li Chang’an laid out the plan, then stepped out of the office, "Song You’s personality is impulsive, vanity-driven, being admired by others gives her a strong sense of nobility."
Although he hadn’t spoken much with her, just her behavior alone revealed these insights.
He spoke lightly, "So, even if she has treasured items to hide away, people are social creatures, and she especially, once there’s no voice around her, I guess it won’t be long before she collapses herself."
That’s why the plan was originally to withdraw people.
Chu River: ...
For some reason, besides feeling stifled, there was also a sense of inevitability.
She nodded, "You’re right, then when I catch her, those goodies she’s hiding..."
Li Chang’an stared at her, unable to help but laugh again, "The half apple you gave me last time was taken by the lab, very high in activity, even the seeds have sprouted. So, what she has doesn’t concern you."
Chu River took a deep breath.
At that moment, she felt her patriotic heart wavering, thoughts edging towards the brink of crime at any moment.
...
Everyone was certain Song You would soon appear.
But, after a full three months, the diligently raised rice at the base started to head, yet Song You remained motionless.
Lei Yu couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious—
"Chang’an, could you double-check the nationwide warrant, has there been any news of her? We can’t have her causing trouble at other bases!"
The insects had a strong territorial sense, while they resolved the pest issue in these four provinces and Red Star 24 Base, others had not yet.
If Song You appeared again...
Li Chang’an put down his pen, "Calm down."
He was always a meticulous person.
Without knowing exactly how Song You’s golden finger manifested, at the moment she disappeared, he already sent out a message to all major bases nationwide through internal networks.
But so far, despite three years of great disaster, with no technological advancement, and with population reduced to just 200 million nationwide... with so many surveillance networks, among so many people, it shouldn’t be that there is no news at all.
Thus Li Chang’an was quite confident, "She’s certainly still there."
...
"But she managed to endure three months without showing up..." Lei Yu murmured, "How strong must she be?"
Even their military didn’t have such a strong sense of confinement.
Li Chang’an, in contrast, seemed thoughtful, "Three months without showing up—firstly, she must have a sufficiently comfortable environment."
According to Song You’s character, she shouldn’t endure too much hardship.
"Secondly, she must be eating much more lavishly than us."
"Most importantly, there must be living entities around her."
