met free Chapter 156 Gu Ran
Chapter 156 Gu Ran
When Yu Yao caught up with Xu Zhiwu and Aunt Liang, they were just about to enter the base.
They were pleasantly surprised to see Yu Yao wearing a hood and mask.
Aunt Liang looked around and, finding only Yu Yao, couldn't help but ask, "Yao Yao? What brings you here?"
Yu Yao said, "After thinking it over, I was still a little worried about you, so I came along to check on you."
Aunt Liang laughed: "Silly girl, what do I have to worry about? Besides, your brother Zhiwu is here."
"Brother Zhiwu is Brother Zhiwu, and I am me. Aren't you welcoming me?"
Aunt Liang gave her a reproachful look.
"Nonsense, I'm overjoyed. But your teammates..."
"They went back to Kyoto first."
Aunt Liang responded with an "Oh?"
"What about you? Aren't you going to go with them?"
"Didn't Zhiwu say you were going back to Kyoto too? We can go back together and then find them."
Aunt Liang blinked in disappointment upon hearing this.
"Alright, that's enough talk, let's go back to base first."
"it is good."
......
The Jincheng base is not an official base.
Instead, it was a semi-private base controlled by a few former wealthy businessmen.
At the registration desk at the main entrance, Yu Yao saw Xu Zhiwu and Aunt Liang's sign-in sheets.
Xu Zhiwu, 26 years old, a level two wood-type ability user.
Liang Shuhua, 50 years old, Level 2 Space Ability User.
When Yu Yao received the form she needed to fill out for her first visit to the base, her gaze still swept over Xu Zhiwu.
He is clearly a level three wind and wood dual-element ability user, but claims to be a level two wood element user.
He's also someone who pretends to be weak to actually do something big.
With that thought in mind, she filled in the three words "Space System" in the column for her special ability.
Let's all pretend to be pigs.
After completing the forms, it's still time for the physical examination.
The physical examination methods at the Jincheng base are quite advanced, similar to those at the Wushan base, except that the machines look and work on different principles.
Fortunately, they don't have to take off their clothes and let people examine them over and over again.
......
After entering the base, Xu Zhiwu followed his teammates to turn in the mission.
Aunt Liang then led Yu Yao back to their residence first.
It's a detached two-story building with a small courtyard in front, much like an ordinary two-story house in an old rural village.
As Aunt Liang pulled Yu Yao through the door into the living room, a surprised female voice came from the second floor, accompanied by the sound of footsteps descending the stairs.
"Zhiwu~ You're back~"
The girl who ran down from the second floor was tall and slender with outstanding looks.
Her features weren't particularly exquisite, but they were well-proportioned, with large eyes, a delicate nose, and a broad, open appearance, giving her a beauty that possessed a subtle, understated strength.
The girl ran down excitedly, but instead of seeing Xu Zhiwu, she noticed Yu Yao next to Aunt Liang.
The smile on his face gradually faded, and his pace slowed down.
"Auntie, you're back!"
"Hmm." Aunt Liang nodded at her indifferently.
This response made the girl feel somewhat embarrassed in the presence of outsiders.
So she forced a smile and asked, "And this little girl is...?"
Aunt Liang replied, "She's Zhiwu's good friend's younger sister. We just happened to run into her, so she came back with him."
"Oh, really..." The girl forced a smile, seemingly unhappy.
But she still introduced herself to Yu Yao, "Hello, I'm Zhiwu's girlfriend."
"Hello."
When Aunt Liang heard the words "girlfriend," the corners of her lips involuntarily turned down slightly.
The girl pretended not to know and continued, "My name is Gu Ran."
"Yu Yao".
Upon hearing this name, Gu Ran's expression shifted.
"So you're Yu Yao? I've often heard Zhi Wu mention you. We've been looking for you for a long time."
Yu Yao said, "It's my fault for making Aunt Liang and Brother Zhiwu worry."
Aunt Liang patted her hand: "Why are you saying that? As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."
As she spoke, she pulled Yu Yao toward the living room sofa.
Gu Ran quickly said, "Auntie, Yu Yao, please sit down first, I'll pour you some water."
Aunt Liang's eyelashes twitched slightly, and she waved her hand.
"No need to trouble yourself, you go and rest, I can do it myself."
After saying that, he got up, pressed down Yu Yao who was about to get up, and went to the kitchen.
Gu Ran's face darkened for a moment, but she didn't leave after all.
Instead, he sat on another sofa and started talking to Yu Yao.
Where have you been all this time?
"In Kyoto."
"what?"
Clearly, she had followed Xu Zhiwu all the way here and knew that she hadn't found him at the Kyoto base.
Yu Yao said, "Perhaps we took different routes, so you arrived in Kyoto before me."
"Ah~ I see~" Gu Ran sighed, "That's really like missing out again and again. Luckily, we've run into each other again now. How did you two meet?"
"While searching for flint in a volcano."
Gu Ran laughed upon hearing this.
"It seems you two are destined to meet, even in this situation."
"Ah."
......
As the two chatted casually, Aunt Liang came out of the kitchen carrying two glasses of water.
After handing Yu Yao a cup, he placed another cup in front of himself and said, "Drink some water. It's very dry here because of the volcanic area, and it's easy to get a sore throat."
"Thank you, Aunt Liang."
"Why are you always so polite to me, kid?"
Yu Yao laughed and said, "What I'm doing is clearly being polite!"
"Yes, yes, you are the most polite and well-behaved child~"
Yu Yao smiled gently, which made Aunt Liang give her a helpless look.
......
Twenty minutes later.
After completing his mission and exchanging some supplies, Xu Zhiwu hurriedly returned home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Yu Yao chatting with her mother on the sofa.
His girlfriend, Gu Ran, sat quietly to the side, though she was smiling.
But Xu Zhiwu knew that she was very unhappy.
As soon as Gu Ran saw Xu Zhiwu return, she immediately called out, "Zhiwu, you're back!"
Then, like a cheerful little swallow, she flew into Xu Zhiwu's arms.
Xu Zhiwu looked down at her face with a gentle expression and asked with a smile, "Are you so excited? Is it because I've been gone for too long?"
"How could I blame you? You went on a mission to earn points, how could I blame you?"
Yu Yao turned her head and looked at the sweet young couple.
Turning around, I found that Aunt Liang hadn't even turned her head; she was holding a glass of water, her eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought.
Yu Yao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she turned her gaze to Xu Zhiwu and Gu Ran.
Xu Zhiwu gently placed his hand on Gu Ran's lower abdomen and asked with concern.
"Do you have a stomachache?"
"No, no, it doesn't hurt at all. I never thought this damn apocalypse would cure my menstrual cramps!"
Xu Zhiwu chuckled softly.
"You still need to rest well. Go back to your room, I'll make you some brown sugar water."
"I'm with you."
"it is good."
Speaking of which.
After the apocalypse, almost everyone's physical condition changed, regardless of whether they had awakened superpowers.
Especially girls.
Most girls' periods have changed from once a month to once every six months.
Since the apocalypse, neither she nor Luo Mei has experienced menstruation.
The two of them discussed this issue.
In the original owner's memory, although the frequency of girls' menstrual periods had decreased.
Correspondingly, the duration also became longer.
Each time lasts for more than half a month.
This directly led to a sharp decline in the birth rate of human infants after the apocalypse.
A large base with 10,000 people often goes one or two years without a newborn.
In Yu Yao's view, this is the truly terrifying aspect of the apocalypse.
There is no continuation, no future.
Only the old humanity, struggling to survive and barely clinging to life, is being swallowed up day by day by the bleak apocalypse.
