Chapter 1414: Chapter 1409: A Lot of Food
"Alright, let’s all be a bit more optimistic; who knows what will happen then?"
"Let’s call it a day, the goods have been delivered, and it’s time for us to leave, otherwise those few suspicious chaps might be drawn here again. But before that, I have a question, Mayor Su, it seemed that earlier there was no need for you to—" At the end of his statement, Ji Jinchan began to reveal his doubts, as in his view, Su Sigui’s actions in the meeting room were entirely unnecessary.
However, Su Sigui knew what he was doubtful about and directly responded: "As I said earlier, it’s all about the attitude. They can of course choose to do nothing, but the time is given by the Apocalypse, as well as by me. To put it simply, it’s about cleaning up. Before doing this job, I need to distinguish friend from foe. The Apocalypse gives time, I provide the opportunity."
After Su Sigui spoke, the others seemed to have understood something. Ji Jinchan stood up first and paid his respects to Su Sigui. He did not ask anything further, swallowing whatever answers he had internally.
"Then there’s no problem. Mayor Su, we’ll take our leave now. After you’ve read the contents of the letter, you can choose whether to tell us or not. Regardless, we’ll act according to your will, hoping you won’t let us down."
"I understand. Thank you."
"No problem."
Su Sigui watched the six people leave for quite a while, until the door of the meeting room was firmly shut, then she turned her attention to the letter. The wax seal had not been disturbed. She observed it for a moment and saw several awkwardly written Chinese characters on the north side.
[Su Sigui personally to open...]
She reminisced about Nakama Hidehito’s handwriting. The Japanese style of the characters was indeed Nakama Hidehito’s handwriting, and it didn’t bear any signs of imitation. It seems that Nakama Hidehito trusted Ji Jinchan and his group a lot, and they did not lie—they indeed hadn’t read the contents of the letter.
This fact put Su Sigui’s mind completely at ease regarding the group of six.
As for why Nakama Hidehito preferred to use a letter... In comparison with online messaging, which is easily monitored through technical means, writing a letter is somewhat more secretive; after all, you can burn it after reading.
Su Sigui hesitated for a moment before opening the letter. There were several reasons for this. The first was, what had Nakama Hidehito written in the letter?
The second, how did Nakama Hidehito know what she wished to learn?
The third, how did Nakama Hidehito, a Level 2 New Human, have the capacity to make Ji Jinchan and his six-man team follow his instructions unconditionally?
The fourth, what did Ji Jinchan and his group know?
The fifth, what did Nakama Hidehito tell Ji Jinchan and his group?
Finally, Su Sigui opened the envelope and took out the folded letter inside. As she unfolded it, a line of distorted characters caught her eye.
[Well... If you are looking for the raw materials for the restorative, I think you can give up, because this substance...]
The handwriting in the letter was far from flattering, but this did not affect Su Sigui’s reading. Soon, she had finished the contents of the letter but did not shift her gaze away from it for a long time.
Her eyes narrowed as she looked out at the world and murmured to herself: "It seems I have to walk the path you’ve walked. I don’t know what you were feeling back then, it must have been painful... Thank you. Perhaps an early death was the best outcome for you, at least you didn’t have to face or see these things. I can do what angered you without any burden."
"Compared to all of humanity, one person’s sacrifice is obviously insignificant. It’s debatable whether this is right, but from the perspective of most people, it is very correct, and there is no other choice..."
She rose from the head seat, and once again, everything outside came into her view. In her heart, a Chapter of history was ready to be revived. She did not know why Ning Tianlang ultimately failed, but she had to succeed, she couldn’t be sure she’d have another chance!
...
"Come here, make way for others."
"Oh~ is there any more of that delicious stuff?"
"Yes."
The tremendous bulldozer passed by, shoveling the broken stones off the ground, revealing the pitted earth. A gust of wind swept up a cloud of dust, obscuring the sky, while the girl once again took out the bag from earlier. She twisted a bit of the brown, mud-like substance and placed it in the hands of the small boy who was reaching out to her.
The boy took a bite and his face lit up with a blissful smile.
"Sister, I want more."
"There is more, eat slowly, no one is competing with you, there’s plenty."
The girl twisted off another piece and placed it in the boy’s palm. In contrast to the satisfied smile on the boy’s face, her expression seemed somewhat bewildered. They were surrounded by raggedly dressed passers-by, yet strangely, none of them showed any interest in the food in the girl’s hand.
In the distance, a group of men wielding tools were vigorously pounding on a building. An excavator swung its large shovel, severing the building in half, and the mixture of glass shards and rubble clattered down, sending people scurrying below.
A building was rapidly flattened, and looking out into the distance, the scene was that of a survivor’s base, looking rather desolate at the moment. The dim sky cast an even more apocalyptic ambiance over the place.
It’s hard to imagine that not long ago, this area was still a bustling commercial district. But now, everything had ended, and it had turned into a haven where people no longer lacked food, yet no one could feel joy.
On the streets, reckless individuals were indulging their desires, faces contorted with madness, and heavy panting sounds emerged, but to those who observed, it was of no consequence.
Here, other than the large machinery required for construction, you could hardly see any other means of transport. The girl watched as the ground was torn up by an excavator, while transport trucks loaded with black fertile soil laid it over the previous concrete surface. Further away, people were sowing seeds into the land.
The whole base was dotted with such scenes—there was a touch of thriving life but also a hint of eeriness.
"Sister, I want more."
"Alright, alright, it’s all yours. Let’s leave now."
"Mmhm." The boy took the bag from his sister’s hands and ate the food inside bit by bit. He was clearly very hungry and occasionally offered some to his sister, but she shook her head as if she had no appetite. He watched as his sister turned her head, scanning their surroundings apprehensively, seeming uneasy, but he didn’t understand what was troubling her. He had been hungry for many days, but just yesterday, many large birds flew over, scattering down plenty of edible stuff, causing uncles and aunties to scramble frantically for it, and he and his sister couldn’t get any.
But today, those uncles and aunties seemed to have stopped scrambling, and that’s how he and his sister managed to get some of this
