Chapter 534: The God-Making Plan
It was already noon, and the sun was extremely harsh so the three of them headed back.
Shu Xueqing had already finished work and was in the backyard picking vegetables.
There were many natural disasters and insect pests, and the vegetables that were not sprayed with pesticides were bitten and spotted.
But having anything was already good enough; who would complain about it?
In fact, the hospital had a canteen, but Shu Xueqing still rushed back to cook.
Gu Tinglin had someone send rice and flour over, and she quickly steamed the rice.
Jiang Ning knew she was being specially taken care of.
For lunch, there was stir-fried vegetables, two cans of food that had hardly been touched in the morning, and a pot of white rice.
As for the fish cakes that even dogs wouldn’t eat, Shu Xueqing was really embarrassed to serve them, even though most people couldn’t even eat them if they wanted to.
Jiang Ning pretended to be puzzled and asked, “Are the fish cakes produced by the food factory really safe?”
“They’re fine,” It was rare for her to start a conversation, which made the atmosphere at the dinner table less awkward. Shu Xueqing explained, “This is the manufacturing technology left by the warships from Huacheng Base when they drifted over.”
“After a long period of high-temperature baking, the protein and other nutrients in the fish meat were almost lost, and the taste was not good, but at least it was enough to fill the stomach.”
“At first, Old Gu had been worried, but when the ship’s supplies were nearly exhausted, we had no choice but to eat it to survive.”
“In these past two years, the doctor has done physical examinations every once in a while, and there is nothing wrong with our health.”
Jiang Ning paused. “Has anyone from the Huacheng base come over in the past two years?”
Gu Tinglin never talked about military or political matters with her, and Shu Xueqing would not ask specifically. “There shouldn’t be anyone, and even if there was, I wouldn’t know.”
She quickly changed the subject, “Anning, how have you all been living these past years?”
“We drifted to the Arctic and survived by hunting crocodiles and seals. We only left after the land rose.”
After chatting about random things, Shu Xueqing rushed back to the hospital to work after finishing lunch and cleaning up.
Jiang Ning asked Bai Xue and Coke to go out to keep watch. Since she had decided to stay, she needed to plan things carefully.
Gu Tinglin is now the head of the base, but who knows what will happen in the future.
Having lived two lives, Jiang Ning understood that relying on others could only bring short-term benefits; relying on herself was true strength.
No matter what, she likes to hold the initiative in her own hands instead of passively being beaten.
With a secret to protect, since she couldn’t live in isolation and cut off all contact with the outside world, she can only form her own power and become a god-like existence.
Even if her secret were exposed one day, no one would dare to covet it.
Creating gods, Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen had done this before at Aoyuan; now they were just returning to old ways.
Compared to peaceful times, it’s far easier to create gods in a world full of natural disasters and the end of the world.”
Food, medicine, weapons, and teams.
Jiang Ning had already secured the first three. As for the fourth… Initially, she would rely on Gu Tinglin’s protection, but later, she would build her own power.
The base was in need of everything, which was the perfect opportunity for her to make her move. Once she started growing herbs and opening the medicine factory, who would dare to stop her with weapons in hand?
Closing the door, Jiang Ning told her plan.
Her ideas aligned perfectly with Huo Yishen’s.
Doudou was very excited, “Brother, sister-in-law, I can take charge of food and herb cultivation. These are urgently needed at the base.”
This time, it wouldn’t be a waste of effort as in the past.
It was decided just like that, but before they moved forward, they still needed to test the waters with Gu Tinglin to make more concrete plans.
In the evening, Gu Tinglin came back on time.
This surprised Jiang Ning. In the past, when he was at the southern military base, he always worked day and night, and even when he was hospitalized for gastric bleeding, he still handled his work as usual.
Seeing the two of them walking the dog and the wolf in the front yard, Gu Tinglin smiled knowingly and called them into the study.
“How was your day today?”
“It was fine.”
Noticing her lack of enthusiasm, Gu Tinglin explained, “This place is different from Huacheng Base. The conditions were a bit rough at first, but things will get better.”
He was confident about the future. “Have you decided to stay?”
Jiang Ning thought for a while before nodding. “Let’s see how things go for now. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
This meant she agreed, and Gu Tinglin was happier than ever. “If you need anything or if you need a job, I’ll make arrangements for you.”
Jiang Ning was very blunt and took the opportunity to say, “We’re used to living on our own now. I don’t want to trouble you too much, so I’d like to find another place to live.”
Living under the same roof meant they had to sneak around if they wanted to eat the food they had hoarded.
Moreover, Jiang Ning really didn’t know how to get along with him and Shu Xueqing, and it felt very awkward.
Gu Tinglin was a bit surprised, but thinking of her distant and indifferent personality, he didn’t force it.
He decided to take it slow. He couldn’t expect her to recognize him as her father after a short time together.
Taking a step back to move forward, he suggested, “If you want to live separately, you can get some land. The house next door is still vacant. I’ll have someone arrange it for you. Living close by will make it easier for us to look out for each other.”
Live next door to the chief?
Jiang Ning wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she nodded and agreed, “Thank you for your help.”
The base was in need of people. Gu Tinglin knew that his daughter and son-in-law were both capable. He wanted to arrange jobs for them but was concerned that Jiang Ning might overthink.
Thinking about how to deal with it, Jiang Ning spoke again, “I heard Huacheng Base has great conditions. Why didn’t you take them there?”
Gu Tinglin was stunned. He usually didn’t discuss official matters at home, but this wasn’t a military secret.
Before the land sank, he already knew that the new homeland project would be carried out by the Eastern Military Base.
Where the new home would be built and whether it would be built depended on whether natural disasters would give humans a chance.
Even if there was a chance, would it take a year, five years, or ten years?
The team had limited fuel, and it was impossible to search aimlessly around the world.
They could only drift on the sea, experience countless storms and disasters, and finally settle in a shallow sea area.
Every day they waited, and people died every day. This kind of suffering was beyond words.
After more than two years, seven hundred days and nights, hope repeatedly ignited and extinguished, until the land finally rose again.
They waited for the dawn and went ashore to build a new home.
Gu Tinglin briefly mentioned the past. “Later, when we encountered the warship from Huacheng, we learned that the new homeland had been completed. However, when they came out looking for survivors, the base was still in the process of land reclamation and island construction.”
Moreover, humans are better at surviving on land, and there are too many constraints on the sea.
And there is an old saying in China: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”
No one knows whether the natural disaster is really over. What if it’s not?”
If one day, the Huacheng new homeland faced an unstoppable disaster, what would happen to humanity when they couldn’t turn the tide?
The mission of the southern military base is the Fire Seed Plan, and the most important thing about this plan is people. He had to lead the survivors of China to survive.
After careful consideration, the high command of the Southern Military Base unanimously decided to take root and grow on the new continent.
So, Gu Tinglin wrote a letter for the warship to take back.
Jiang Ning seemed to be thinking deeply. “Hasn’t anyone from the Huacheng Base come here?”
