After the Cannon Fodder Awakened, She Married the Female Lead! [Quick Transmigration] 87p2

Chapter 87 p2

The head of the No. 5 base had always had a very high good impression of Li Mo and Wen Runan. Even after he later heard that Li Mo had almost killed all the ability users of the No. 3 base, his attitude towards the two of them still did not change.

After hearing that the other party had researched a “deep” substance that targeted the “core,” the head did not have much hope, but he still agreed to the two’s request and arranged for a batch of people who had been bitten by zombies but had not yet mutated to come over.

This group of people had already been labeled as future zombies in the No. 5 base. Their relatives and friends had basically given up on them, and even they themselves were the same. After hearing that there was something that could save them, they were only slightly excited for a moment, and then let Li Mo and the others operate.

The difficulty of promoting the “deep” substance was much harder than researching it. Even if several researchers had personally been guinea pigs and had repeatedly experimented on themselves, most of the people still held a wait-and-see attitude.

They were not at risk of being infected and becoming zombies now. Why should they risk injecting a new substance? What if the new substance also had problems? Wouldn’t they be seeking their own death? It was better to live a safe and stable life.

The first turning point in the matter occurred on the tenth day after the public experiment. After repeated injections of the potion, one of the female researchers had awakened her ability. She had obtained the ability of teleportation. Although the distance was only ten meters, it could not be helped that there was no limit to the number of times. As long as she could hold on, she could theoretically move infinitely.

People are inherently drawn to benefit and averse to harm. Seeing that they could become ability users after repeated injections of the “core” and the “deep” substance, the number of people who signed up for the “deep” substance injection increased, from dozens of people a day to thousands of people a day.

The second turning point occurred on the thirtieth day after the public experiment. After about one hundred and fifty thousand people in the No. 5 base had completed the “deep” substance injection, the third meteor shower came.

Seeing the red anomaly in the sky, the No. 5 base was in chaos at once. Because they had witnessed the fall of the meteorite with their own eyes, no one dared to hide in their houses. All the people gathered in the open space, praying in their hearts that no meteorite would fall.

This meteor shower was similar to the first one. The meteors just streaked across the sky and did not fall.

But the bad news was that the concentration of “core” in the air had still increased. From the appearance of the first meteor, many people’s bodies had begun to show abnormalities.

“The speed of the physical mutation this time is not fast. Quick, find those who are not in the right condition. There’s still time to inject them with the ‘deep’ substance now!” Wen Runan’s savior’s buff was activated, and she soon discovered the key point.

The head let out a sigh of relief when he heard this and soon issued the relevant orders. He took this opportunity to announce that he would directly start a universal injection of the “deep” substance to eliminate the future trouble once and for all.

This time, not only were the more than twenty thousand ability users mobilized, but the more than one hundred thousand people who had been injected with the “deep” substance before also participated. With the efforts of more than one hundred thousand people, the No. 5 base soon restored order.

After the No. 5 base had completed the universal injection, Li Mo and Wen Runan left and returned to their small nest.

The No. 5 base could already cultivate enough “deep” substance, and there were also enough people to prove the effect of the “deep” substance. It didn’t really matter whether the two of them were there or not.

“Not going out?” Li Mo asked, holding a watering can in her hand and slowly watering the green sprout that had already grown to a height of more than one meter.

“With the No. 5 base as an example, the apocalypse will probably end soon,” Wen Runan lay lazily on the rocking chair. “After the problem of becoming zombies is solved, they should focus on the development of abilities. If we get involved, it will be too troublesome and will involve a lot.”

Wen Runan did not want to pursue power and status. She just wanted to lie flat now and live a stable life.

After all, she and Li Mo were only two people. If they really went against a large organization, no matter if they won or lost, the two of them would definitely not have much of a good time.

Li Mo could roughly guess what Wen Runan was worried about and said, “If you make good use of the ‘deep’ substance, you will be the only savior. Everyone will admire you. They will only try to win you over. No one will be stupid enough to stand on the opposite side of the savior.”

“The feasibility is indeed very high, but it’s so tiring,” Wen Runan looked at Li Mo. “Compared to that kind of life, you should prefer us to live here all the time, right?”

Li Mo did not refute. It was not the first or second time she had been in power. After standing at a high place for a long time, she also wanted to take a rest and try a completely non-social and trouble-free, plain and simple life.

“After the apocalypse is over, we can consider raising some animals,” Wen Runan said. “In terms of taste, fresh meat is still more delicious.”

“Then I’ll pick a time, sort out the things in my space, and then give them to the No. 5 base?” Li Mo asked, the corners of her lips rising slightly.

“Mm, let’s talk about it in a year or two. The apocalypse is over, but the other things won’t end,” Wen Runan got up from the rocking chair, walked to Li Mo’s side, and took the initiative to hold her hand.

Looking up at Li Mo, Wen Runan asked, “In the future, if you can only see me, will you feel very bored?”

“What a coincidence. This is also the question I wanted to ask,” Li Mo lowered her head and gently touched Wen Runan’s cheek with her lips. “If we’re bored, we can move to another place, but you can’t leave me.”

“What a coincidence. I was thinking the same thing,” Wen Runan wrapped her arms around Li Mo’s neck and directly jumped and hung on her. “I’ve heard that plants that have been affected by the ‘core’ will be more delicious. Shall we pick a time and get a meteorite field?”

Li Mo steadily held her. “Alright. Then tomorrow?”

“Alright, let’s go tomorrow,” Wen Runan said with a smile and nodded.

The apocalypse ended in the second year of its beginning, but the new order was only officially established in the sixth year after the first meteor shower.

The meteor shower did not disappear. Even after the new order was established, there would still be a meteor shower that would dye the sky red every three years.

But the attitude of human beings towards the meteor shower had undergone a earth-shaking change. They had changed from fear to anticipation, and even wished for a meteor shower every day.

The reason was simple. Most people had obtained their own abilities through repeated injections of the “core” and the “deep” substance. The “core” brought by the meteor shower had already changed from a source of danger to a source of energy for them, becoming an opportunity to improve their own abilities.

Although Li Mo and Wen Runan lived in seclusion, their stories, after being beautified, were still written into history books and even compiled into various textbooks.

After the new order was established, in the center of Haishi, which had been rebuilt from the No. 5 base, there was an extra fifty-meter-high bronze statue, which was clearly designed based on Li Mo and Wen Runan.

The image of the statue was designed by the head of the No. 5 base at that time. The appearance of the statue was one soft and one hard, each with a unique style. The only place that was relatively true to Li Mo and Wen Runan was their intertwined hands.

Li Mo and Wen Runan had also been to Haishi later, but they were silent for a long time when they saw the bronze statue. They just took a photo together like checking in, and then they never went there a second time.

As time passed, the two years that were originally called the apocalypse were also given a new name—the Evolution Year.

After human beings had adapted to the existence of the “core” and the “deep” substance, not only had their various physical indicators improved, but their average lifespan had also soared to over a hundred years.

So much so that the people who were born later had all forgotten the so-called apocalypse, and also forgotten the three-quarters of their compatriots who had died in the apocalypse. They only remembered the benefits brought by the apocalypse, which had allowed all mankind to have an evolution.

“Survival of the fittest is really an eternal conclusion,” Wen Runan just exclaimed after hearing this. She looked down at their clasped hands. The originally fair and smooth back of their hands was now covered in wrinkles.

“Have you chosen a place to retire? By the sea, or the place where we first lived?” Wen Runan asked.

Li Mo thought seriously for a moment. Her hair was already almost completely white. From the moment she had noticed Wen Runan’s aging, Li Mo had given up on further cultivation and had chosen to let her body age naturally.

“Let’s go back to the place where we first lived. The air there is good, and it’s also more suitable for Little Green to grow for a long time,” Li Mo said. “At that time, when we’re gone, we can also let Little Green help us be buried together.”

“Alright, then let’s go back,” Wen Runan did not object. She could already feel the approach of death. If there were no surprises, she could at most only accompany Li Mo for a year.

It was a pity. She had originally wanted to work hard and live a few more years than Li Mo to make up for the time she had a crush on her.

It seemed that it was not possible this time. If they could still meet in their next life, she would continue to work hard.

Li Mo sat cross-legged by the bed. After confirming that the person on the bed had no breath and no heartbeat, she carried her to the bathroom, and the two of them took their last bath together.

“Little Green, guard the two of us. Don’t let anyone else get close,” Li Mo looked up at Little Green. The original small tender sprout had already become a towering tree, with a diameter of over ten meters and a height of nearly a hundred meters.

Little Green shook its branches and leaves, and then extended dozens of vines, weaving them into a bed.

After Li Mo had kissed Wen Runan one last time, she then held her and lay down, letting the vines submerge the two of them.

Before Wen Runan could open her eyes again, countless memories surged up. She stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time before she came to her senses.

Very good. Li Mo was just as she had thought. Even if she didn’t remember at all and had become an almost completely new person, she was still with her and had accompanied her for a lifetime.

“How was it? Was it smooth?” Mu Bai asked.

Wen Runan let out a breath and climbed out of the special hibernation chamber. “It was alright. The people on that side should have interfered, wanting to force me and Li Mo to be on opposite sides.”

Mu Bai: “And then?”

“And then it failed. Li Mo would not stand on the opposite side of me, and even if I didn’t remember, I didn’t stand on the opposite side of Li Mo either,” Wen Runan said with great pride.

“I also guessed that they had failed,” Mu Bai said. “I passed by a few days ago. It seemed that someone was arguing over there. Many people were against going against you.”

“That’s for the best. If they are in a mess themselves, they won’t keep an eye on us,” Wen Runan moved her body.

Wen Runan knew about the matter of losing her memory in the previous small world, and it was on her own initiative. She had used the sealing of her memory as an exchange to release 066 from its binding to her. As long as she succeeded one more time, she could successfully let 066 break away from the control of the main system and become her own system.

“What about you? How is your partner’s situation now?” Wen Runan asked. “Did they find out about the matter of you helping me retain my memory last time?”

“No,” Mu Bai shook her head, and then sighed. “My one is more delicate. It’s probably because the original world is different. Her…”

“After everything is over, I will go and find her,” Mu Bai’s gaze became firm. “No matter how many worlds I have to go to, I will find her.”

Wen Runan patted Mu Bai’s shoulder. “You can do it. We’ve all come through it. You can definitely do it too. You are also a natural female lead. The world’s consciousness will favor you, and will definitely also favor the person you like.”

“That one’s is much better than my Li Mo, right? At least she won’t be treated as a wedding dress from the very beginning,” Wen Runan comforted her. “And your one’s family background and experience will not be too miserable. As long as she is not a love-struck fool, she might become the female lead in minutes.”

“Then I’ll take your good words,” Mu Bai was successfully comforted. After all, compared to being a cannon fodder in the world line, the female supporting character in the world line would have a much better life.

After exchanging some information, Wen Runan pulled 066 out of the small black room and thought about how to transform this system to make it obedient and sensible.

After resting in the Administration Bureau for less than a day, Wen Runan received a message from Mu Bai.

Mu Bai: There’s a little problem with the timeline of this small world. The time your one went over seems to be too early. The coordinates have been attached. If you go over in advance, please be careful. I’m here at the Administration Bureau. Don’t worry.
