Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Su Wanwan and Ling Yi both love to eat it, and it's not easy to gain weight if you eat it as a snack to chew on.

Carrying large and small bags back to the apartment, Su Wanxi was already waiting in the entrance hall. The woman took the plastic bags and handed the slippers to Gu Cheng.

"You've worked hard, Orange..."

After hugging and kissing for a while, Gu Cheng let go of Su Wanxi's arms and took a sniff with her delicate nose against Su Wanxi's neck.

"Su Wanwan, I met someone today..."

Gu Cheng recounted what had happened in the supermarket. Su Wanxi's eyebrows furrowed slightly and her pink lips pressed tightly together when she first heard the refusal. She gradually relaxed upon hearing the refusal and finally kissed the girl's lips forcefully.

"I knew it... I should have bought Orange a ring a long time ago..."

This will prevent unwanted people from spying on her young wife.

After Su Wanxi rubbed her cheeks several times, Gu Cheng pushed her soft hand aside, gave her a hard rub on her lower abdomen, and turned to walk to the kitchen.

"Stop being all lovey-dovey, I'm going to make lunch."

Chapter 395, Section 403: The Turmoil Is Approaching

After lunch, An Zhishui and Ling Yi went back to their bedroom to rest, while Su Wanxi stayed behind to help Gu Cheng clear the table.

"Wanwan, vegetable prices have gone up a lot lately..." Gu Cheng said softly as she washed the dishes, feeling the gentle flow of water on her skin.

"I didn't think much of it when I bought it, but when I got home and did the math, I realized that the actual cost was quite high."

Upon hearing the sound, Su Wanxi caught the bowl and chopsticks, her smooth and delicate arm reaching over her head to gently place the items into the cupboard. Before leaving, she didn't forget to smooth her hair a few times with her soft hand.

"China's response has been quite timely; the situation in other countries is even more severe than ours."

Thanks to its advanced social system and strong mass productivity, China's top leadership is better able to regulate the prices of daily necessities, preventing social order from collapsing prematurely.

"The cleanup operation is about to come to an end." Su Wanxi cleared her throat and parted her cherry lips slightly. "With the big fish caught, the remaining small fry shouldn't be able to jump around."

The military took only two weeks from planning to execution. All the hidden agents planted by the Cold Crow were eliminated. The most frightening thing was that there was a traitor within the Awakener Squad. They were the main force of the Cold Crow's infiltration. Ouyang Tuo, the captain of Gu Cheng's squad, was accused of colluding with the Cold Crow's steward. Unfortunately, the arrest was a step too late. By the time the officers arrived, the scene was already deserted.

"Also..." Su Wanxi pursed her lips, her eyes showing a slightly complicated expression.

Sensing the hesitation in his fiancée's voice, Gu Cheng dried his hands, turned around, and looked at her.

"What else?"

Looking into the clear, gentle brown eyes before her, Su Wanxi casually tossed her dark hair a couple of times and parted her pearly teeth slightly: "Considering Miss Gu's outstanding military achievements and the fact that the rejection effect is more severe than that of ordinary awakened individuals, the military has decided to demote you to the second echelon, and you will only participate in crack handling when necessary."

After determining the birth coordinates of Nidhogg, the Black Dragon, the Chinese leadership dispatched a large number of Awakened Ones to the capital, and the previous combat teams were expanded into more than a dozen.

"This was a decision made at the meeting; I didn't..."

She had only spoken halfway when her pink lips were suddenly gently pressed against by a cool, wet finger. Su Wanxi was slightly startled, but then she saw Gu Cheng looking at her with a smile, her eyes sparkling.

"Are you explaining this to me, Wanwan?" the girl asked gently, her two fair legs standing straight. Su Wanxi lowered her eyes after hearing this, her long, curled eyelashes reflecting the soft light.

The next second, Gu Cheng tightly wrapped her arms around Su Wanxi's arm, raised her head, and two cherry blossom petals quietly bloomed on the woman's profile.

"I believe you."

She understood, of course, that Su Wanwan would never make a decision for her without consulting her.

"This is good too. It saves you the trouble of picking me up every time, and it also ensures that An Zhishui and Ling Yi are not attacked."

Although the crows' influence in the country has been largely wiped out, no one can guarantee that they won't make a comeback in the remaining few dozen days.

With Gu Cheng not home and Su Wanxi gone, the apartment's security was practically nonexistent.

Realizing she had overthought things, the woman's lips curved into a slight smile. She quickly leaned down and rubbed her forehead against Gu Cheng's a few times.

"Sorry... I was overthinking it..."

Once the other party is involved, Su Wanxi's emotional side instantly overwhelms her rationality.

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Lovers shouldn't apologize to each other, you said that yourself, Wanwan~"

If you want to express your apology, you can do so in a more sincere way.

Looking at the girl's luscious lips, Su Wanxi kissed her without hesitation.

All the words were swallowed between her lips and teeth. Gu Cheng smelled the sweet rose scent on the tip of her nose, and unconsciously put her arm around Su Wanxi's back, pulling her close, yearning for more.

After a long while, the two parted their lips, and a tear quietly fell. Gu Cheng blushed when she saw this and reached out her jade finger to pinch Su Wanxi's waist.

"If you're going to apologize, then apologize properly. Why stick your tongue out?"

Unlike Gu Cheng's shyness, Su Wanxi looked completely innocent, her moist lips opening and closing: "I'm afraid Chengzi will think I... am not sincere."

At first, I just wanted to give a light kiss, but once we touched, I was reluctant to let go. Then I wanted to push my luck and kiss the other person until they were breathless.

Just then, the bathroom door clicked open, and An Zhishui tiptoed to the doorknob, giving them a meaningful glance.

I was just a passerby, I didn't see anything, you guys continue.

Gu Cheng immediately felt his cheeks burning. He moved his fingers down and pinched his fiancée's fleshy thigh.

"Su Wanwan!"

Su Wanxi: Meow meow meow?

She just wanted to apologize.

After cleaning up the dishes, the couple went back to the bedroom to rest. Su Wanxi sat at her desk to work, while Gu Cheng lay on the bed scrolling through his phone and warming the blankets for his wife.

As Su Wanxi said, things have been quite turbulent abroad recently. A doomsday prophecy has been spreading wildly on the internet, claiming that humanity will face its end at the end of this year.

Some Western countries that tout freedom and democracy have even seen large-scale suicides, and terrorist attacks are rampant.

Disasters trigger grief, which in turn nourishes the formation of fissures and invites further trouble. Once caught in a vicious cycle, humanity will destroy itself without the end of the world.

An advertisement with the title "Superpowered Person" suddenly popped up. Gu Cheng thought for a moment and lightly clicked the play button. After a sixty-second advertisement, a rather blurry video began to play.

In the dark square, a middle-aged man in casual clothes suddenly rushed into the traffic. Just as the oncoming car was about to hit him, the man stopped. The front of the car was dented in the middle, and the bumpers at both ends extended outwards.

The man physically stopped a speeding car and then left the scene as if nothing had happened.

As you swipe your finger, a barrage of questions and criticisms emerges in the comments section. Some claim it's a staged shoot for Man of Steel 3, while others say the video has been maliciously edited and uses software to create special effects.

Gu Cheng sighed inwardly, thinking it was truly a turbulent time, and exited the page to browse other news.

Experts predict that pork prices will see their first decline in December.

"According to the meteorological observatory's analysis, winter in northern Beijing will arrive earlier than usual this year. Citizens are advised to keep warm and seek medical attention immediately if they experience symptoms such as cough or fever."

"Recent solar activity may disrupt Earth's atmosphere, affecting ground-based shortwave radio communications to varying degrees..."

After a while, feeling his fiancée's fragrant and soft body squeeze into the quilt, Gu Cheng took the initiative to spread his knees and clamp Su Wanxi's legs together, burying his head in his chest.

"Finished work?"

“No…” Su Wanxi gently touched Gu Chengzong’s brown hair.

"Take a nap and then take a break."

Feeling the woman's steady and strong heartbeat, Gu Cheng squinted her eyes, snuggled against her softness, and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 396, Section 404: Black Tide

The deep black sea reflected the bright moonlight, and the sound of surging waves rose and fell in her ears. Gu Cheng, dressed in a tough military uniform, leaned against the railing with her hands folded, her long, smooth flaxen hair swaying in the wind.

With less than a week to go before the apocalypse Ying Qiuhuai spoke of, the number of cracks generated in Beidu within 24 hours has already surpassed the historical peak.

After a unanimous vote, the Chinese leadership constructed the first defensive chain consisting of several aircraft carriers at the junction of the two seas. Before boarding the ship, Gu Cheng heard from the officers that the behemoths around them carried more than thirty carrier-based aircraft, and each fighter jet was equipped with supersonic long-range anti-ship missiles and radar-guided air-to-air missiles.

The arrival of the black fog will bring global EMP bombing, which will destroy the high-precision electronic components inside the carrier-based aircraft. The military's move is more about making the most of these devices before they become scrap metal.

After staring at the sea for a while, Gu Cheng lowered her eyes, casually tucked her messy brown hair behind her ear, and let her gaze wander.

Beneath the dark, deep tides seemed to lurk ferocious and terrifying sea serpents, with sharp fangs and massive bodies as large as mountains. The fleet was like a child's glass toy in the face of these monsters, ready to shatter at the slightest touch.

"orange..."

Suddenly, a clear female voice pulled Gu Cheng back to reality. Gu Cheng turned her head and saw a stunningly beautiful woman, also dressed in military uniform, walking gracefully towards her.

Su Wanxi's eyes were like water, a few strands of her dark hair fell over her shoulders, and her fair and smooth neck looked particularly beautiful in the moonlight.

"It's so late, why aren't you going home to rest?"

His fiancée's voice was gentle and melodious, like jasmine petals freshly picked from sugar water. Upon hearing this, Gu Cheng leaned against the railing, her long, shapely legs straightening and pressing against the deck, her pink lips slightly parted.

"A little while later... I want to look at the sea a little longer..."

With light, graceful steps, a fragrant breeze suddenly swept away the salty smell of the sea. The young girl couldn't help but sniff, as if even her spirits were soothed and relaxed as the other person approached.

Su Wanxi's expression softened as she leaned against the railing with Gu Cheng, their shadows gradually merging into one in the moonlight.

After a long while, Su Wanxi asked Gu Cheng.

Are you scared?

The road ahead is rugged and difficult, with almost no hope in sight.

Gu Cheng lowered her head, her bewildered brown eyes reflecting Su Wanxi's pure black tactical military boots.

"I'm scared," the girl answered softly, her delicate fingers gently stroking the hem of her clothes. "I'm afraid of losing everything I have."

Two years ago, Gu Cheng might not have felt as anxious and uneasy as she does today.

At that time, she had just started a new life and had not formed any deep bonds with anyone. She was all alone, and even if she died for her country in an accident, no one would be sad for her.

The girl was merely existing without any ambition, living like a walking corpse. Her death in the line of duty can be seen as repaying the country's nurturing grace, rather than a completely meaningless death.

As for now, she has like-minded friends like Qin Kexin and An Zhishui, as well as Su Wanwan, the best and most adorable lover in the world.

The bonds between people are the true source of strength.

Gu Cheng didn't want to die, and she didn't want anything to happen to Su Wanxi.

If there were no doomsday...they might have lived peacefully to old age...

As she pondered, a soft hand brushed against her waist and gently grasped her hand. Gu Cheng subconsciously tilted her head and saw Su Wanxi's exquisitely beautiful profile.

“I will come to you,” Su Wanxi said softly, her delicate hand firmly gripping Gu Cheng’s knuckles. “No matter where you are.”
