Chapter 664: Chapter 662: Mom, I Want to Save Him (Final Chapter 2)

The bunker held too many refugee camps, and now it was simply uninhabitable.

After this decision was made, Feng Yao and Jin Han led people to move the contents of the containers overnight, storing some in the Space Superpower Users’ space.

Su Mo stayed with Lu Ruixue for the night, and early the next day, she heard noisy sounds outside.

She dressed and stepped out from the house, where she happened to meet Lu Chen.

"Not sleeping in a little longer?" he approached, adjusting the jacket on her.

Su Mo shook her head, "You didn’t come back all night, was it agreed to relocate these people?"

She looked at the ordinary people walking on the earthen walls and stepping on wooden planks to board the boat.

Lu Chen nodded, "The area below is too small, we don’t have enough space to vacate for them to live."

Su Mo sighed, "It’s a pity about the planting soil we worked so hard to recover. Now, it’s all gone."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen also appeared deeply concerned, "We’ll find a way after this flood passes."

For now, that’s all they could do.

On the deck, many ordinary people were assigned their own container. As they watched the sunrise during the Chen Hour, the dazzling morning light shone on everyone’s faces. In the crowd, someone said, "Are we the last surviving humans on this world now?"

"Ark of Apocalypse, the final Eden."

The flood receded two months later, and scattered zombies became active in front of the people again.

The cargo ship had become the main living area for the ordinary people, and the construction of the walls on the surface started yet another expansion.

The seventh year of the apocalypse.

Centered around the Bunker, with Rong Bai and Meng Hao as the main leaders, the Hope Base was officially established.

This place occupied a vast area and housed numerous superpower users. The latest soil modification developed by Lu Jin’s experimental group was successful and put into use, planting a large quantity of rice and wheat.

In the pond, Su Mo introduced various aquaculture products, and the newly opened farm also housed a variety of animals from the All Things Tree.

In Rong Bai’s office, a radio began operations.

"Hope Base located in Luohe, calling all survivors again. We have ample food and shelter, and our doors will always be open for human comrades struggling to survive."

Lu Ruixue’s growth was fixed at 17 years old.

Su Mo, upon hearing from the researchers that she would develop normally thereafter, couldn’t stop her tears, which were tears of joy.

Lu Chen held her in his arms, looking at their daughter who had grown nearly as tall as her mother, his expression was emotional.

Lu Ruixue herself was well aware that her rapid growth in recent years was highly abnormal. Memories of her childhood seemed to have passed just a few years ago; she knew how much her parents had worried for her.

The family of three tightly embraced each other.

"Don’t worry Mom, I’ll definitely be with you until the end."

Lu Jin just stood at the doorway of the surface laboratory, watching the trio.

Since Lu Ruixue was born, he had not left her side for a moment.

As Lu Ruixue neared adulthood, Su Mo noticed something peculiar about their relationship.

It was too close; the way Lu Ruixue looked at Lu Jin was not at all like looking at an uncle.

Her age had just been fixed at 17, whereas in reality, it had only been a short five years since she was born.

Lu Jin was already over thirty.

Su Mo stood at the entrance of her house, her gaze complex as she watched Lu Jin, who had taken Lu Ruixue out to herd cattle and now was returning with her.

Both of them realized something was amiss in her look.

Lu Ruixue said goodbye to Lu Jin first and, after entering the house, was immediately interrogated by Lu Chen and Su Mo.

For Su Mo, she simply couldn’t accept that Lu Ruixue actually expressed her liking for Lu Jin.

Su Mo gripped her cup tightly and said helplessly, "He’s already in his thirties, and he’s your father’s brother."

Seventeen-year-old Lu Ruixue had grown up to be very beautiful, with long black hair reaching her waist and the perfect facial features inherited from Su Mo and Lu Chen, pure yet desirous, her one meter seventy frame and long legs nothing short of spectacular.

She said earnestly, "I know, but I told Jinjin when I was little."

Lu Ruixue looked at Su Mo and smiled, "Mom, I want to save him."

"He has been so kind to me, I don’t want to see him grow old alone. I want to stay by his side forever."

As if she were deeply afraid Su Mo would disagree, she added, "I know dad and Jinjin are brothers, but they neither share the same father nor the same mother, essentially they don’t have any real relation, so we can love freely."

Lu Chen’s parents are Lu Cang and Fang Ya, while Lu Jin’s parents are Fang Lian and Lu Youwei.

Yet, these two women are biological sisters.

Su Mo seriously explained the relationship between the two to Lu Ruixue.

Lu Chen frowned and asked, "Is it merely because he has been very kind to you?"

Lu Ruixue was momentarily stunned by her father’s query, then replied, "Not just that, it’s also that I can’t live without him, and he can’t live without me."

Su Mo felt powerless to accept this. Her child had only been born a few years ago and was already talking about falling in love, with someone almost as old as them, Lu Jin no less.

Jiang Zhuoyang, who was also born earlier than Lu Ruixue, is still just a child now.

Su Mo still tried to persuade her, saying, "I think you should really think this through. I might not have told you, but although Lu Jin hasn’t had an episode for a long time, he has bipolar disorder."

Bipolar disorder...

Lu Ruixue was not unfamiliar with it, remembering certain incidents, she held Su Mo’s hand softly and said, "After I witnessed it once, he destroyed all those things. In front of me, Jinjin has never lost his composure."

The seriousness never seen before in Lu Ruixue’s eyes, Su Mo knew sincerely in her heart that her daughter was not joking.

She fell into silence.

Lu Ruixue’s body was also altered by a virus; her physique was different from that of ordinary people. Did Lu Jin see her as his redemption, and did he like her too?

Su Mo asked, "Xuexue, have you told Lu Jin about this?"

Lu Ruixue nodded freely, her face still brimming with a smile, "Although he didn’t feel the same at the start, I know that Jinjin definitely fell in love with me."

Her love for him was an unconditional gift.

Su Mo couldn’t bring herself to look at that beautifully joyous face and utter a word of rejection.

She turned her gaze to Lu Chen, who had been deep in thought for a long time.

Lu Chen, facing his daughter, who was full of anticipation, slightly pursed his lips and finally said, "Life is long. Are you sure?"

"Yes, I want him," Lu Ruixue answered without hesitation.

Lu Chen lifted his eyes, gazed steadily at her, his voice slightly warmer yet still cool, "Then give it a try."
