Tianshu
"You want to go up?" The staff mber imdiately stopped him. "Director Sun, it's too dangerous for you to go to the surface. You are the backbone of the entire underground project now, absolutely nothing can happen to you!"
"I know, I won't leave the periter of the Mid-mountain Hotel." Sun Zhongliang paused for a long ti.
"I just want to see what it's beco outside... If possible, we can even treat so of the injured right there on the surface, and then use those two elevators to transport them down. There are always so people who, because their injuries are too severe, are unable to enter the underground project through the stairs, right?"
The staff mber was left speechless.
Ultimately, the few of them still obeyed Sun Zhongliang's orders. They imdiately welded the bottoms of two elevators and then ascended toward the surface.
At this ti, the Mid-mountain Hotel was already in complete ruins. Broken glass and dust scattered all over the ground. Sun Zhongliang stepped directly on it and walked straight out of the hotel. Looking down at Wushan Town below, his entire person blanked out.
A mighty river of stars flowed beneath the dim firmant, stretching all the way from the distance to the sky above the hotel. The resplendent starlight flashed like ribbons in a fairy tale, dreamlike and illusory... Beneath it, in the devastated city ruins, traces of battle and slaughter were everywhere. All kinds of bizarre roots and flesh were paved all over the ground, like terrifying species from outer space, making one's scalp tingle at just a glance.
And at this ti, a large batch of survivors was mightily approaching here under the protection of the starlight.
"Director! There are so many survivors in this batch!"
Seeing this wave of people, the staff mber's eyes instantly lit up. "In that case, the total should be close to forty thousand people..."
Forty thousand. Even so, it was still less than half of Sun Zhongliang's original estimate...
Sun Zhongliang's attention at this mont was entirely on that resplendent river of stars. The image of the starlight reflected in his pupils, and he muttered to himself:
"Stars... Is it Lu Xun? He ca to Wushan too?"
...
"Everyone, we're almost there just ahead."
Lu Xun followed among the civilians and pointed at the Mid-mountain Hotel ahead.
Enveloped in starlight, Lu Xun had already beco the backbone of this batch of survivors, and also their spiritual pillar. They had painstakingly survived the nuclear strike, and then experienced the Calamity attack, but ultimately they had all survived.
Just as the Lord of Tianshu had said... none of them would die.
"Lord of Tianshu, that only looks like a hotel... Can it hold so many of us?" Soone asked worriedly.
Lu Xun smiled slightly. "It's not just a hotel. Beneath the mountain, there is also a large-scale base that can accommodate all of you to live for a period of ti."
As soon as this sentence ca out, everyone's eyes lit up!
"Great, it's a base!! We're safe!!"
"We survived... We actually really survived!!"
"Thank you, Lord of Tianshu!! Thank you, Lord of Tianshu!!!!"
"..."
Having endured all the hardships and seeing the safe haven that could take them in, smiles finally surfaced on the people's faces. They shouted to each other in excitent, their footsteps quickening considerably.
And at this ti, Lu Xun's figure slowly ca to a halt.
"It's just ahead... You guys go on first."
"Lord of Tianshu, aren't you coming with us?"
"I still have a little matter to deal with."
"Understood, the Lord of Tianshu has to go save even more people!"
Lu Xun smiled and didn't answer. He just quietly stood in place, letting the surrounding civilians run past him excitedly, charging toward the direction of the Mid-mountain Hotel.
The crowd surged, and Lu Xun slowly raised his head, looking from afar at the front of the hotel...
His gaze t Sun Zhongliang's across the distance.
Seeing Lu Xun in the crowd, a wave of indescribable guilt welled up in Sun Zhongliang's heart. Although the research regarding the Nine Monarchs wasn't initiated by him, nor was he allowed to interfere, perhaps in Lu Xun's heart, he had long regarded him as a hypocritical villain who acted one way to his face and another behind his back, and had completely lost hope in Bureau 749...
He wanted to explain sothing to Lu Xun face to face, but the next mont, Lu Xun turned and left.
"..."
Sun Zhongliang let out a long sigh.
Sun Zhongliang knew he owed Lu Xun, but he didn't know how to explain, nor how to make ands...
As the last large batch of survivors approached the Mid-mountain Hotel, the river of stars flowing in the sky also gradually dissipated, leaving only dots of residual starlight floating above the ruins like fireflies. The ruin of the apocalypse and the dreamlike starlight intertwined, as if civilization had sunk into war, yet attained immortality in spirit.
The staff mbers stepped forward one after another, guiding the survivors into the underground project. During this period, Sun Zhongliang heard the na "Lord of Tianshu" several tis.
"Excuse , who is the Lord of Tianshu?" Sun Zhongliang grabbed a young man and asked.
"The Lord of Tianshu? It's that person just now, the one who led us all the way." Pao Ge pointed in the direction Lu Xun had left. "He's the one who protected everyone in the Shelter and then led us to escape all the way..."
"Yeah, if it weren't for the Lord of Tianshu, we would have died hundreds of tis over."
"The Lord of Tianshu must be an envoy sent down by the gods, specifically to save us from this sea of suffering..."
"He also has many other companions. They should all be 'Lords', but unfortunately we still don't know the nas of the others..."
"I even chatted with the Lord of Tianshu for a while just now. He said he lived in Wushan when he was a child, so he's half a local!"
"Is it such a coincidence?? No wonder he specially ca to save us..."
"If we can go back this ti, I must offer a Spirit Tablet for the Lord of Tianshu... Otherwise, I really don't know how to repay his life-saving grace."
"Let alone a Spirit Tablet, it would even be fine if everyone built a temple together in Wushan."
"..."
When talking about the Lord of Tianshu, the surrounding civilians all had shining eyes, chattering away. Those survivors who ca from other Shelters didn't know about the Lord of Tianshu. Hearing them speak, they were instantly incomparably surprised... Only then did they know that the sky full of starlight that protected them was actually the power of the Lord of Tianshu.
"Right, is this base big enough to hold so many of us?"
"It's enough." The staff mber beside them explained patiently, "We've just finished surveying it. There are a total of thirteen underground levels here, and the space of each level is extrely large. Accommodating forty thousand people is absolutely no problem."
"There is also enough food and water here. Under normal circumstances, it's enough for this many people to use for more than half a month."
"That's good."
Pao Ge in the crowd suddenly asked, "Then does this base have a na?"
"Seven..." Sun Zhongliang was just about to speak and say '7012 Underground Project', but he suddenly realized that the current underground base had completely changed. The area that originally belonged to 7012 was not even one percent of the current whole.
This was an unregistered, brand-new super Shelter, and also the final safe haven for all the survivors in Wushan.
"...It has a na."
Sun Zhongliang glanced at the starlight dissipating above Wushan and slowly spoke:
"Let's call it... Tianshu Base."
...
