Chapter 908 908: The New Dawn ( 4 )
After a few minutes, Feng Yun said in a low voice, "Shen Jinyue, I'm 23 years old, while you are only 17. You are not even an adult. I can't take advantage of your naivety."
"Maybe your feelings for me are only temporary. When you meet more people, you might realize that this isn't love."
Hearing his words, Shen Jinyue became angry. She bit his shoulder hard, leaving a deep mark. Feeling the pain, Feng Yun let out a muffled groan but didn't stop her.
Only after venting her anger did she let him go. Seeing the deep reddish mark on his shoulder, she felt a pang of guilt and regret.
"I won't."
Feng Yun waited for her to continue, but didn't let her go.
Not hearing a response, Shen Jinyue repeated, "I said I won't."
"What do you mean by that?" he finally asked.
"I won't like anyone else. I'm young, but I'm not naive. I know what my feelings are." After saying this, Shen Jinyue pushed him slightly and looked straight into his eyes.
"Feng Yun, I like you…more than I thought and more than you expect. When I thought you would die, I knew I would risk everything to save you. This is not something I would do for just a friend, let alone my brother's friend."
Hearing her confession, Feng Yun was stunned. It took him a while to regain his senses. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he smiled.
"I should be the one confessing, but you beat me to it."
Shen Jinyue's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you saying you like me too?"
"Silly girl. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't bother with you at all." Taking a deep breath to calm his frantic heartbeat, he continued, "Shen Jinyue, I have liked you since the moment I saw you in the Capital."
"I knew this feeling was wrong, and I tried to change it. I thought avoiding you would solve everything."
"But when I saw you talking and smiling at Cheng Rui, I felt jealous. I wanted to beat him and hide you away. I tried…and I failed. So I won't try to lie to myself anymore."
He held her hands and asked, "Shen Jinyue, will you be my girlfriend?"
The moment he said those words, Shen Jinyue nodded and hugged him. "Yes!"
While the two of them finally confessed their feelings, the Phantom Team members were squatting outside, eavesdropping.
After hearing a live confession, they looked at Shen Jinzhe. Seeing that he remained calm, Xiao Qi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Shen, aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be?" Shen Jinzhe asked, raising his eyebrows.
"A pig is stealing your family's cabbage, ah! You're really not angry?"
Hearing this, Shen Jinzhe smiled meaningfully. "Not every cabbage is sweet. Since someone is willing to take care of my family's rotten cabbage, why would I be angry? I should be thanking him instead!"
After saying this, he chuckled and left.
The members were stunned by his words. What kind of brother was he?!
While they were celebrating this bit of good news, the rest of the world was still on the brink of destruction.
Besides the Lin'an City Base and the Green Lake Base, most of the bases and survivor camps were wiped out by the alien invasion and natural disasters.
Even the Mountain Base was not spared. The location of the base was like a natural defensive fortress, but when the massive earthquake hit, the mountains around them became the cause of many deaths.
The landslides blocked the roads, and stones smashed lots of buildings, killing more than half of the residents. Right now, their only way out was the military choppers.
Although the number of residents was no more than 80,000 people, they only had 10 military choppers, and the evacuation would take a long time.
On the wall, the guards and mutants were fighting against the Matkuna soldiers, while the brawlers and guards were busy evacuating people in the city center.
At this moment, Pei Yijun was commanding the battle, while Chu Zhimiao and Li Yang were supervising the evacuation process.
"Women and children are the priority!" Li Yang shouted when an old woman tried to rush into the chopper.
The guards stopped her and said, "Go back and wait for your turn!"
"No, I'm also a woman! What's more, I'm elderly! I should be included in the priority group!"
When he heard this, Li Yang replied coldly, "You are old and weak. Even if you survive, you can't contribute anything to the base!"
Although his words were cruel, this was the best solution. In the apocalypse, they had to prioritize young women and children since they were the future of the human race.
The next priority group was people with skills and talents. They needed them to rebuild the settlement.
As for the old and weak, they would be the last to be evacuated. As for the men, only the strong and healthy would be included in the priority group.
The moment this list was announced, countless people shouted in complaint.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Li Yang punched the ground, leaving a deep, massive hole. He glanced at them coldly and said, "Whoever dares to go against the order will be the next to taste my punch!"
With his warning, the residents finally calmed down. Although they still felt dissatisfied and full of complaints, no one dared to go against the guards. The evacuation process sped up instantly.
Half an hour later, the military choppers finally left the Mountain Base and flew toward Lin'an City.
At the same time, Wen Hanli received a phone call from Li Jing.
"Vice Commander Wen, our base can't hold on anymore. We are evacuating our people and sending them to your place."
The moment he heard this, Wen Hanli said, "How many people do you have?"
"It's no more than 80,000 people. We have already sent around 8,000 people over."
"I will inform my people to make arrangements for them and send over 40 military choppers to help with the evacuation."
Hearing this, Li Jing heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Vice Commander Wen."
After they hung up the call, Wen Hanli's phone rang again. This time, it was a call from the Yanyu Base.
