353: I want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Hurry, hurry! If you make me miss officiating the wedding, I'll kill you all!" Pan Han parked his car, not even locking it, and rushed straight to the bridal shop in the mall.

He ran at such a speed that people could barely see him.

Several Ugly Tuan and Hungry Now knights saw him and exclaimed in admiration, "If I had that speed, I'd crush them all!"

"No time for talk, pack this wedding dress and this evening gown for me." Pan Han ran to the entrance of the bridal shop, pulled out his phone without a word, and prepared to pay.

"????" The clerk looked bewildered, "What's going on?!"

"Hurry up and wrap them!" Pan Han wished he could smash the table.

"Sir, these two items have already been reserved."

"Don't waste time, I'll pay ten times the price!"

"Alright, sir, I didn't say anything." The clerk was a clever one; who would be at odds with money?

Five minutes later, Pan Han swiped 200,000 for the bridal shop, grabbed the packages, and ran.

"This guy didn't forget he's getting married today, did he?" The clerk mused, watching Pan Han's retreating back.

Pan Han drove back to the residential area, sprinted upstairs, and quickly traveled to the apocalypse.

When he appeared before everyone with the two packages, everyone in the Dawn Base cheered!

Pan Han was always unpredictable, appearing and disappearing as he pleased.

All this time, the Dawn Base had avoided any major incidents purely by luck.

"Commander, you're here!" Qin Zhong and Cheng Xiao and others rushed forward to greet him.

"Yes, I almost missed our Dawn Base's big event." Pan Han nodded with a smile and walked straight to his second sister and Wu Disheng.

The two newlyweds looked especially beautiful today, clearly having dressed up carefully.

His second sister wore a white shirt and white trousers, her cheeks flushed crimson.

Wu Disheng, on the other hand, was dressed all in black, with a slicked-back hairstyle, and had even shaved his beard.

This was already the best attire in the apocalypse.

Others were often in tattered clothes, patch upon patch. Only high-ranking members of the Dawn Base could have a few complete outfits to wear.

For Cheng Xiao and Dili Abasi to possess over 100 sets of lingerie was simply unimaginable.

"This is great, the Commander is here. Today is complete." Wu Disheng said, rubbing his hands, both excited and nervous.

As he spoke, he occasionally glanced at his second sister with his glasses, and only dared to laugh aloud when he saw her also smiling.

"Second sister, Wu Disheng. I'm really sorry I almost missed this important day. These are your wedding gifts." As he spoke, Pan Han handed over the two packages.

"Wow, the Commander even prepared gifts for us?" His second sister's relationship with Pan Han was far closer than Wu Disheng's. She spoke to him much more casually.

"See if you like them." Pan Han gestured for them to open the packages.

"Anything the Commander gives, there's no reason not to like it." Wu Disheng chuckled foolishly.

So, the two of them each opened their packages.

When the pristine, shimmering wedding dress and the solemn, dignified suit were displayed before everyone.

Everyone was stunned!

Immediately after, everyone cried!

Yes, everyone cried!

It had been almost nine years since the apocalypse, who would have thought wedding dresses and suits could still appear??

His second sister stared at the wedding dress, frozen in place, her mind a blank!

Before the apocalypse, she had almost walked down the aisle with a young man; they had even chosen a wedding dress.

However, her family staunchly disagreed, looking down on the young man, and forcefully broke them apart.

From then on, his second sister's heart was sealed, and not long after, the apocalypse descended. Besides opening her legs, she never truly opened her heart again.

It wasn't until Wu Disheng pursued her, passionately and genuinely, that she gradually grew to like this man.

But all of this was given by Pan Han.

Without him, there would be no Dawn Base as it is now, and no peaceful life for everyone.

His second sister looked at the pristine white wedding dress before her, still carrying a faint fragrance of fabric, with a sheer veil across the chest, embedded with tiny diamonds—she loved it.

Wu Disheng caressed the suit, his rough hands trembling slightly.

This outfit looked like it would fit perfectly; the Commander must have chosen it carefully. He never expected the Commander to care about him so much!

This gift was too precious; he, Wu Disheng, felt unworthy of it.

"Commander!" Wu Disheng, his eyes brimming with tears, looked at Pan Han, unsure what to say.

"Hurry and put them on." Pan Han wiped his tears and patted both their shoulders.

The two newlyweds nodded in thanks and hurried into the house to change.

Pan Han looked around, the area was packed with Dawn Base members, dozens of tables laden with various canned goods and rice.

In front, there was a temporarily erected stage, which must be where the ceremony would be held.

"Qin Laoda, how have you arranged things?" Needless to say, Qin Zhong was definitely the officiant, so Pan Han asked directly.

"Reporting to the Commander. Second sister will be led by Cheng Xiao, and Wu Disheng by Sixth Brother. They will exchange gifts, then bow to each other, then recite their marriage vows, and then the feast will begin."

"Hmm, similar to the customs in my hometown. What do the vows say?"

"The newlyweds swear: To protect Dawn Base! To protect the Commander!"

"Pfft!" Pan Han burst out laughing when he heard that; it was too formal.

"Commander, do you have any instructions? Should we change it?" In fact, Qin Zhong also felt it was a bit inappropriate. However, this slogan was chosen by everyone, so he could only follow through.

Only Pan Han could change something like this; who else would dare?

Pan Han hadn't expected everyone to be so enthusiastic, but what was with "protect the Commander"?

He had his spatial ability and could retreat at any time, so what was the point of protecting him?

"Change one line: Protect Dawn Base, protect new life!" Pan Han finally decided.

Two sentences, concise and to the point! He hoped that one day, everyone could live a new life in Dawn Base!

"Good! This is good! Protect new life. Commander, you are truly brilliant." Qin Zhong's expression grew exceptionally excited upon hearing this, as if he had discovered something incredible.

Pan Han looked at his demeanor and thought, 'You old fox, you've learned to flatter too.'

With Qin Zhong leading the flattery, others were unwilling to be left behind, applauding and cheering.

At this moment, his second sister and Wu Disheng, having changed, walked out.

Suddenly, the scene fell silent!

All eyes were focused on the newlyweds.

So beautiful! So handsome!

His second sister's face was uncharacteristically flushed, shy and embarrassed, unconsciously hiding behind Wu Disheng.

Wu Disheng held her hand, instead puffing out his chest and holding his head high!

He was the brightest star today!

"Wonderful!" Pan Han led the applause, and the Dawn Base members snapped out of their daze, their applause thunderous!

The newlyweds briefly separated amidst the applause.

Cheng Xiao and Sixth Brother straightened their clothes and stepped forward respectively.

"The wedding of Miss Bai Mei and Mr. Wu Disheng of Dawn Base, now begins!" Qin Zhong shouted, and the wedding music started.

His second sister and Wu Disheng quickly became serious, walking onto the wedding stage from opposite sides.

Qin Zhong, as the officiant, stood between them, holding a white paper with the ceremony script written on it.

Pan Han didn't clearly hear what Qin Zhong said, because he was already in tears.

This was his Dawn Base, these were his people, this was their hope!

At this moment, Pan Han's heart was surging with emotion, filled with grand ambition!

An immense sense of satisfaction filled his heart.

"The newlyweds exchange tokens of love." Qin Zhong shouted.

Wu Disheng took out a female toy and presented it with both hands.

Pan Han had given it to him earlier; such an item was definitely a luxury in the apocalypse.

Pan Han's face flushed crimson when he saw it.

Others, upon seeing it, cheered and even cast envious and jealous glances.

"Damn, this Wu Disheng, he's really awesome! You're ruthless!" Pan Han was utterly shocked, once again amazed by the worldview of people in the apocalypse.

Just as Pan Han hadn't fully recovered, his second sister took out a leather whip and gave it to Wu Disheng.

Wu Disheng's eyes lit up; he took it with both hands, raised it above his head in front of everyone, and swung it wildly in the air!

The audience below cheered and whistled!

The atmosphere reached its climax at this moment!

"Wu Disheng is awesome!"

"Well done, Wu Disheng!"

"Let's follow Wu Disheng's example!"

Wu Disheng's eyes were shining, his cheeks flushed red, and he puffed out his chest, accepting everyone's adoration.

Pan Han still didn't hear what these two were shouting. He no longer wanted to hear it; he wanted to find a crack in the ground and disappear into it.
