Aromatic Flesh-Chapter 90.2: Cannon Fodder In The Post-Apocalyptic World (19)

Liu RuiCheng, on the other hand, surprised everyone by opening an orphanage and gathering a group of children who had lost their families for various reasons during the apocalypse and were temporarily unattended at the base. Gu MingYue provided food supplies, while Su ShaoYuan took on the role of a teacher, educating the children in cultural knowledge and artistic creation.

Jiang Lei, with his strong and powerful physique, has a resolute and determined personality that led him to choose a career in the military. Starting as a private, he quickly climbed the ranks within the military through a combination of his own abilities and influential connections.

Meanwhile, Jing Yao was considered a special talent who utilizes the military’s resonance device to create protective barriers and collaborate with other personnel with similar abilities to ensure the defences of the base.

With several members moving out, the three-story apartment building became less crowded. Jiang Lei relocated to the military base, while Liu RuiCheng often stayed overnight at the orphanage. As a result, the remaining Gu MingYue, An YiZe, Bai JunFei, Jing Yao, Gao Jing, and Su ShaoYuan had just enough space for each person to have their own comfortable and private living quarters.

Liu RuiCheng occasionally returned to the apartment building to spend a night. When Jiang Lei came back from the military, he would also spend a few nights in Gu MingYue’s room, passionately engaging with her, and then leave with a satisfied smile on his face.

The days were fulfilling yet ordinary, and the development of the zombie vaccine was progressing smoothly, bringing hope and brightness to the future of humanity.

Now, all that remained was for the base to successfully develop the zombie vaccine, and from then on, everything in human society would return to normal.

Six busy months flew by quickly inside the base. In the original plot, this was the time when the evolved zombies would attack the base, however, the imminent zombie siege mentioned in the original text was preemptively eliminated by Gu MingYue and the survivor team, hence, the major crisis had been averted completely.

Each day was a new beginning, and the base was filled with vibrant energy. Despite the relative safety, the higher-ups in the base remained vigilant, closely monitoring the number of zombies and any abnormal situations around the Western survivor base, and maintaining regular contact with other larger survivor bases within the country to exchange information.

As the only person who knew and firmly believed that the apocalypse was nearing its end, Gu MingYue chose to keep everything she knew buried deep in her heart. Even if she were to speak out, there was no guarantee that anyone would believe her.

Xi Wei had his wedding plans set, and the men had their own individual pursuits. Although they still lived together, they rarely had the opportunity to gather as a group now.

Becoming increasingly adept at their work, the men began to harbour more expectations for the future. They gradually became accustomed to the collective life of labour within the base.

Additionally, with their well-built and attractive appearances, they captured the attention and admiration of numerous women in the base.

Gu MingYue often smiled and made cheerful remarks on this, genuinely happy to see their popularity rising.

She laughed joyfully, and when the men saw that their little scheme didn’t have the desired effect, they sat near Gu MingYue with a sigh, embracing her affectionately.

In recent days, Gu MingYue’s energy needs had decreased significantly. The days when she couldn’t go without energy and desired nothing more than to die lustfully beneath a man seemed like a distant memory.

As she busied herself in the orphanage and the experimental farmland of the base, she appeared as radiant as a blooming peony in the eyes of ordinary people. Her outward beauty remained enchanting, but silently and imperceptibly, her body continued to deteriorate.

The men noticed Gu MingYue’s unusual behaviour but felt helpless in addressing it. In their daily interactions, everything seemed as usual. The touch of her skin in the evenings felt familiarly smooth and cool, and her sweet voice had a melodic rhythm to it. When their bodies intertwined, her responses were still passionate and alluring, making them feel like they could melt in her embrace…

However, the intermittent “power outage” during conversations, the suppressed coughs in the quiet of the night, and the fatigued expression with furrowed brows that only appeared during her sleep raised worries among the men.

Whenever she was questioned about it, Gu MingYue would casually respond with a simple “I’m fine.” Her physiological activities diverged from those of ordinary people, making it challenging for the men to find an effective approach to determine her true health condition.

Gu MingYue was acutely aware of her physical condition, and all she could do was endure the growing discomfort that signalled her body’s gradual decline. Fortunately, it was not pure pain that she felt, but rather the feeling that her body is inching towards its end… It was far from pleasant. However, sharing the truth about her health with the men would serve no purpose and only sadden them, as it would not change the situation.

All good things must come to an end, and one day, they will all go their separate ways. She barged into the lives of the surviving team members, unexpectedly altering the course of the original plot. But now, as she neared the completion of her mission, she found it increasingly difficult to bear the thought of leaving the men behind.

It was that small trace of reluctance that kept her from uttering her true health conditions…

So, let her persevere and embrace her final moments with these men in her most beautiful form.

Sometimes, deception can be the greatest comfort.
