The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1096 No Longer the Same You

"Yan Yan, be good."

Yu Wen stood up, smiled, patted Yu Ziyan's shoulder gently, and then walked towards Xie Yanshan and Zuo Fengjuan.

"Dr. Xie, Professor Zuo, is your work not going well today? You two look so worried while you're eating, haha."

Xie Yanshan was eating his meal with a dull taste when he suddenly heard someone call his name. He looked up and saw Yu Wen sitting at the next table.

"Ah, Minister Yu, good evening. What did you just say?"

"You two look preoccupied. Is there some problem with the lab?"

Yu Wen asked questions carefully, his eyes behind his glasses observing the two of them intently.

Zuo Fengjuan's heart skipped a beat, realizing that if Yu Wen found out what was happening in Cui Lengxuan, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble!
If the leader were at the camp, she would report it immediately. But now that the leader is not at the camp, if someone else reports it to the leader, her situation will be very awkward!

"There are just too many difficulties..."

Xie Yanshan naturally picked up the conversation, sighed, put down his chopsticks, took off his glasses, pulled a napkin from the tissue box next to him, and wiped his face as he spoke.

"The new instruments need to be debugged slowly, the computer software can't connect to the internet, data verification can only be done manually, and there are a lot of other troubles. Sigh, don't even mention it."

His heartfelt words, coupled with his lifelike expressions and gestures, perfectly conveyed the helplessness of an old researcher.

Zuo Fengjuan sat opposite, only daring to lower her head and eat her rice, sighing and making noises, not daring to say a word else. In front of Yu Wen and Xie Yanshan, she was just a greenhorn.

Yu Wen nodded understandingly and said, "I understand your difficulties and I also understand how hard it is for you. There's really nothing we can do about the lack of personnel. Let me think..."

Some members in the camp are quite well-educated, with associate's or even university degrees. How about we have them help proofread the data, Dr. Xie? Do you think that's feasible?"

The superb acting skills fooled Yu Wen, and Xie Yanshan's words were indeed the current problem. The patriarch very considerately helped Cui Lengxuan and the others solve their problems.

Xie Yanshan shook his head with a wry smile, put on his clean glasses, and said, "Our situation is a bit special. If we want to increase manpower, I'm afraid we need Mr. Zhang's approval first. It's okay, this is all part of our job. Being a little busier is fine, as long as it doesn't delay the development of the camp, it's worth it to suffer a little!"

Yu Wen waved his hand and said, "The development of the camp is multifaceted. It requires multiple legs to work together to move forward. It's not enough for one leg to run fast. Speaking of which, your Cui Leng Xuan leg has already run fast enough. The other legs still need to work hard to catch up, hahaha."

If we divide the development of the entire camp into fields such as industry, agriculture, education, medical care, and scientific research, it is undoubtedly ahead in scientific research. However, it did not continue to add skill points to the previous human technology tree and took a different path!
Xie Yanshan picked up his chopsticks again, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you for your recognition, Minister Yu. We still have to work overtime tonight to process a batch of samples, so..."

As he spoke, he made a shoveling motion with his rice.

"Take care of yourselves. We're not young anymore. Don't overwork yourselves. I won't disturb your meal. When Mr. Zhang returns, I will definitely report your difficulties to him."

Yu Wen stood up and left the table.

Xie Yanshan and Zuo Fengjuan exchanged a furtive glance, both seeing worry in each other's eyes. They were worried that Duan Wuhu wouldn't wake up and that he would lose control. Unfortunately, there was no turning back now, and they could only hope that everything would be alright!
"I'll go get Dr. Fu some food..."

While Xie Yanshan was dealing with Yu Wen, Zuo Fengjuan ate heartily, finishing her meal early, and then got up to prepare dinner for Fu Weijun.

"Teacher Duan hasn't eaten either, bring two portions!"

Xie Yanshan offered a reminder.

"Ah, yes..."

Zuo Fengjuan sighed helplessly, realizing she had been too negligent in these details!
When the two returned to Cui Leng Xuan and opened the door to find everything still the same, they were very frustrated. However, when they saw the records on the instrument, they reacted differently.

“Duan’s physical indicators fluctuated briefly before, lasting less than 20 seconds, which I believe is a good sign.”

Seeing that Zuo Fengjuan had discovered the problem, Fu Weijun decided to speak first and explain.

"It must have been so hard for Teacher Duan." Zuo Fengjuan pursed her lips, covered Duan Wuhu with the blanket, and then sat down to the side.

Everyone in the lab knew that if Duan Wuhu didn't wake up, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

Time passed slowly, and at 10 p.m., Tianma Island gradually fell into tranquility. Compared to the village, most of the residents had left Tianma Island, making it seem very deserted, with only a few lights left on!

Conversely, more and more lights are illuminating the central Qinhai Strait.

Dinner was finished around 8 p.m. It wasn't as plentiful as in the afternoon. The main dish was still flatbread, but since we weren't in such a rush, we made it thinner and spread it with chopped bell peppers and minced meat. It was a fusion of Chinese and Western flavors and it was very delicious!

After dinner, Zhang Su took Zheng Xinyu to sit on the edge of the deck to relax. In front of them was the sea shimmering with lights. It was a rare moment of leisure. The two chatted aimlessly about the past and the future, and more than an hour passed by in the blink of an eye.

It seemed that everyone wanted to give their leader some peace and quiet. For more than an hour, no one disturbed Zhang Su's time alone. Even when communicating via walkie-talkie, they switched to other frequencies.

Until Guo Dachao appeared...

"Brother Su, sister-in-law, excuse me for disturbing you."

Guo Dachao came to the deck.

Zhang Su turned around. He had heard footsteps earlier and saw that it was Guo Dachao, who had been supervising the work. He quickly asked, "Is the boat repaired?"

"Almost there... The main ship, the leftmost, leftmost, and rightmost ships are all ready. Now only the ship in the rightmost position is still under repair, but it has been moved into position and is just waiting to be started so we can begin towing the aircraft carrier immediately!"

The overall progress is over 80%, it's time to report on the situation...

"Is that so... Oh my god, it's already 10:30?"

Zhang Su glanced at the time. Neither he nor Zheng Xinyu seemed to mind the cold, so they sat leisurely on the deck, letting time slip by like flowing water!
"I should be asleep by now, but unfortunately I can't cover for Xiaoshan tonight... I'm a little homesick."

Zheng Xinyu pulled Zhang Su's arm and stood up, looking in the northwest direction.

"Um... Da Chao, tell everyone to rest. We'll call for a regrouping when the boat is repaired. Don't let everyone just sit around doing nothing."

Zhang Su noticed that many crew members were wandering around on the other side of the aircraft carrier deck. They had finished their meals and probably hadn't received the order to rest yet, so they were unsure whether they should go to sleep.

"Alright, I'll go inform everyone right away. Brother Su, sister-in-law, you guys continue, hehehe."

Guo Dachao chuckled foolishly a few times, then turned and scurried away.

"It's so peaceful... I really want to 'continue,' honey, how about we just stay here 'continue'? What do you say?"

Zheng Xinyu looked at the calm sea in front of her, her thoughts churning.

Zhang Su curled his lip with a strange expression and said, "You were just saying you missed home, and now you're saying you're staying here. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"I miss home, but I want to stay here peacefully even more! Going back would mean facing so many things. I'm okay, but you're too tired... Actually, I don't have any grand ambitions. It's enough if I can live well with you forever! But I know you can't."

"Speak properly! What the hell do you mean I'm not good enough?"

Zhang Su listened to Zheng Xinyu's sweet words, but after a very long prelude, something big happened. Are you kidding me?!
“You are not the same person you used to be… When the disaster first broke out, we were trapped in the community. At that time, you only cared about yourself and took care of me and Xiaoshan. Later, we escaped from the community together. Gradually, more and more brothers joined, and you began to consider the safety and well-being of the entire team.”

Later, after setting up camp on Tianma Island and slowly recruiting survivors, you no longer live just for yourself. You have a large group of people behind you, and you have higher goals and ideals, don't you?

On that day, Zheng Xinyu woke up early and found that there was a problem downstairs. She then woke up Zhang Su. From the very first second, she had watched Zhang Su grow and transform in the disaster, and she had a very deep understanding of him!
