Xiang Jintian did not show impatience; it was normal for people to become fragile after injury.
Xu Qian hugged Xiang Jintian's arm tightly, her small head resting on it.
She asked softly, "Jintian, what is your goal?"
Xiang Jintian narrowed his eyes slightly and replied without hesitation, "My former goal was to hope for a prosperous nation and peace for the people."
"Now I hope the apocalypse ends so our country can return to its original life."
Xu Qian did not respond. She lowered her eyelids, her long lashes casting faint shadows on her eyelids.
Sweet words always stirred the heart; she rarely spoke them.
Seeing her silence, Xiang Jintian asked gently, "What is your goal?"
Xu Qian's goals were not as noble as his. Although she also hoped the apocalypse would end soon, people were selfish. She just wanted to quickly conquer these men and find Xu Nian.
What did this world have to do with her?
Xu Qian slowly sat up straight and replied with a smile, "I do things as I please, so I don't have any specific goals.
However... as the wife follows the husband, your goal is also my goal. From now on, I will carry our goals and walk forward diligently."
Xiang Jintian's heart trembled. He softened his gaze and stared at her for a long time.
The girl's complexion was pale, but it couldn't hide the starlight faintly shimmering in her eyes.
She was serious.
[Ding, Xiang Jintian's favorability +2, total favorability is 90 points.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host, the second mission target has been completed. The system will soon enter upgrade mode. All spatial abilities and items will be suspended and will reactivate in 5 hours.]
[Please the host find the third mission target as soon as possible.]
The system's prompt did not bring Xu Qian much joy.
This meant they would be separated.
This period of fighting side-by-side and supporting each other had to end.
"Qianqian, we will achieve it!"
A hint of tears flashed in the girl's eyes. She said softly, "Of course, I believe you."
For the rest of the flight, Xu Qian did not pester him. Instead, she obediently absorbed energy cores to restore her vitality.
As soon as they entered City A, Xiang Jintian's brows furrowed sharply.
"Qianqian, look."
Xu Qian's eyelids fluttered slightly, and she opened her eyes.
It was raining heavily, and the entire glass was blurred, making it impossible to see clearly.
They were flying at a not-so-high altitude, and from a distance, they could barely make out the situation below.
The entire City A was submerged, with a depth of about three to five stories.
Shorter buildings were almost completely submerged and had collapsed for the most part.
Countless debris and zombies floated on the water's surface.
A flood?
Xiang Jintian's face turned grim, and he flew towards the direction of the Light Base.
The cargo plane hovered above the base. From afar, the base seemed to be in a relatively optimistic situation, with high walls that temporarily prevented the water from entering.
Xu Qian squinted her eyes slightly. She had heard about floods in her previous life, but it was not related to City G, so she hadn't paid much attention.
She recalled that City A had been flooded for seven days and seven nights, and eventually, the city walls collapsed, resulting in many casualties.
At that time, the person in charge of City A personally went to the reservoir to release water, barely managing to disperse the floodwaters of City A and save lives.
She didn't know about Mei Yuebai's condition in her previous life, but in this life, for her sake, his body was not as capable of enduring hardship as before.
His complexion had been very poor when she saw him a few months ago.
If it had to rely on him again...
Xu Qian sighed inwardly, "Jintian, where is the reservoir?"
Xiang Jintian's eyes lit up. He asked, "The reservoir? Are you saying we should release the floodwaters?"
Xu Qian nodded helplessly, "This is the only way now. We can't just watch the Light Base get submerged."
