76: wither

The US and Japan schemed to profit from the zombie virus, but instead, they suffered the consequences, losing both men and materials."

Director Zhang kept nodding.

"Yes, yes, thanks to you and your spatial ability, you contributed immensely! Otherwise, we wouldn't have contained those zombies so quickly, nor would we have been able to strike back so easily."

Shen Mo Chi, who had been playing the role of background scenery since entering, cleared his throat.

But neither of them paid him any attention.

Seeing the two still talking animatedly, he raised his voice again.

Director Zhang glanced at him.

"What is it? If your throat is uncomfortable, go get yourself some water, drink more, and don't interrupt my talk with Little Wan!"

Shen Mo Chi looked innocent.

"You didn't tell me to drink water just now."

Director Zhang was stunned and shot him an annoyed sidelong glance.

"Are you competing for merit with your wife? Such little ambition, go aside."

Lin Wan couldn't help but chuckle, looking at Shen Mo Chi, who was deliberately causing trouble with a face full of smiles.

It was noon, and the bright sunlight streamed in through the window.

The room was filled with heartwarming warmth.

Director Zhang smiled warmly, looking at the perfectly matched pair.

"Now, our Sea City can finally begin to rebuild."

"Speaking of which, I have good news to tell you."

"Oh? Then we must listen intently."

Director Zhang's smile never stopped.

"It's all thanks to the things you brought back. Professor Li and the others have been working day and night for the past three months, and now, the serum is almost fully researched!"

"We can't do anything about those who have already turned into zombies, but for those who were infected recently, as long as they receive the injection in time, there will be no problem. Because the samples were complete, they developed a universal serum for the zombie virus!"

"That's wonderful! This disaster has truly caused a lot of casualties. With this, many newly infected people can be saved. The zombie disaster will pass soon!"

"Yes, Lin Wan, on behalf of every person in Huaxia, I thank you. Your pure heart has saved countless lives."

He said this solemnly, but Lin Wan felt an indescribable emotion.

She inexplicably felt a little choked up. She looked at Shen Mo Chi, whose eyes were full of tenderness.

"This land of Huaxia is worth loving for every person in Huaxia. I don't know about others, but Mo Chi, our Qingyun Base, and I deeply love this land."

"Therefore, we cannot allow others to covet our land. I'm nothing special; I'm just lucky to possess this ability."

"And all my luck is because of Mo Chi. Without him, there would be no Lin Wan today."

Shen Mo Chi was long accustomed to her saying such things, but every time he saw that expression, it inexplicably made his heart ache.

Lin Wan's words deeply moved and comforted Director Zhang.

Indeed, Huaxia was worth loving by everyone.

She said that without Mo Chi, there would be no present her.

Although he didn't know what kind of past they shared, her saying such things was enough to show that their feelings were unbreakable.

That brat Song Jian needed to rein in his thoughts. He should talk to him when he had time, lest he walk down a dead end. However, it was understandable; for a woman like Lin Wan, countless admirers existed.

Lin Wan actually felt a great sense of accomplishment in her heart. Being able to use her spatial ability to do so many meaningful things was a true utilization of it.

If everyone turned into zombies and their home was gone, nothing would have meaning.

After chatting for a while longer about the situations in Japan and the US, Lin Wan said:

"Director, the work report is finished. We'll head back now; we haven't been home for many days."

"Wait a moment."

Director Zhang raised his hand and took a document out of his desk.

"This is a document sent from the central Authorities of Huaxia."

Lin Wan opened it and quickly scanned it.

Besides giving Qingyun Base extremely generous rewards and the highest honors,

They also hoped Lin Wan could continue to help other provinces to resolve the zombie crisis in Huaxia as soon as possible.

Seeing Director Zhang's expectant look,

Lin Wan smiled and nodded.

"It is my duty. We already had this plan. If only the crisis in Sea City is resolved, but other provinces remain the same, it's essentially the same. We all prosper together and suffer together."

When Director Zhang heard her words, his face was about to bloom with joy.

To put it bluntly, although The Authorities could have directly and forcefully demanded it, a willing contribution was always sweeter.

"Little Wan, I already guessed your answer. In the future history of the Apocalypse, there will absolutely be a prominent chapter dedicated to you!"

Shen Mo Chi looked at Lin Wan with a face full of smiles, tilting his head, his expression proud yet doting.

His wife seemed to be glowing.

Lin Wan shook her head.

"It's not just me; it's our entire Qingyun Squad. Without them backing me up, I couldn't have done the things I wanted to do with such peace of mind."

"Hahaha, yes, your Qingyun Squad deserves it without question."

The two returned to Qingyun Base and had dinner together that evening.

Ji Chuan drank a few glasses of wine, his face flushed red.

"How long has it been since we ate a meal together like this?"

Yue Yue clung to Lin Wan's arm.

"Wanwan, you're leaving again tomorrow. I already miss you. Take me with you!"

Yi Nian held her other arm.

"Sister, let me follow you too."

Lin Wan looked at Ji Chuan and Shi Li sitting opposite them and teased,

"You two, don't interrupt my and Mo Chi's world for two! Besides, if you leave, two people will become statues waiting for their wives."

Yue Yue was fine, bantering back and forth with Ji Chuan, but Yi Nian's cheeks were flushed.

"Tell me about it, Shi Li is practically growing roots at our base now."

Shen Mo Chi teased.

Shi Li just stared at Yi Nian, his eyes full of adoration.

Everyone burst into laughter.

They left early the next morning.

In the following days, Shen Mo Chi and Lin Wan flew across various provinces.

When they hadn't arrived in a province yet, the provincial leaders would eagerly await them, hoping they would come quickly.

Simultaneously, they were taking action to collect the zombies into sturdy containers, reinforcing them, just waiting for Lin Wan to arrive to collect them directly into her spatial dimension.

When they arrived, every province sent their most elite teams to cooperate with them. Everyone was united, working together to deal with the zombie tide.

During the days the couple was away, Ji Chuan, Yue Yue, and Yi Nian managed Qingyun Base in perfect order.

After the zombie crisis in Sea City was resolved, they immediately threw themselves into reconstruction.

Everyone was full of energy.

The conspiracy of Japan and the US not only failed but also unified the entire Huaxia, making them even closer than before.

In contrast, their situation was not so optimistic.

Huaxia had a Lin Wan and a Qingyun Squad, but Japan had no one.

From time to time, hundreds or even thousands of shipping containers would fall from the sky, and the containers were packed full of zombies.

Who could handle that?

At first, they still used bombs, but the containers were dropped scattered, so the effect of the bombs was minimal. Moreover, it was the fourth year of the Apocalypse; how scarce were thermal weapons!

Plus, the people sent to Huaxia were almost completely wiped out, leaving them with no power to recover.

Under this unilateral dominance, in half a year, Japan was nearly annihilated, completely turning into a nation of zombies.

The US was not faring much better. Their plan failed, and they lost a large number of elites.

No matter how strict their aerial defense was, it couldn't stop Huaxia, which was equally rich in talent.

They could only watch helplessly as the population of the US dwindled, gradually withering away...
