"Mr. Jiang, I heard you are leaving here?"
A young and slim figure blocked Jiang Lin's way.
Jiang Lin paused and recognized that this was a staff member who worked with him in the base.
"What's the matter?" he asked gently.
Zheng Na looked at the person in front of her nervously.
Jiang Lin is a legend in the entire southern base.
He is a rare awakener, and his awakened body is said to be a sacred tree. The reason why it is said is that almost no one has seen it with their own eyes. At least Zheng Na has worked in this southern base for several years and has seen and talked with most of the senior executives, but no one can tell Jiang Lin's awakened body.
The word Shenmu was actually said by Jiang Lin himself—of course, the original words he said at that time were not Shenmu.
"My awakened body? It's just an ordinary tree." Jiang Lin said.
Listener: “… ”
I believed your lies!
After the disaster, many lands and water sources were polluted, and most of the previous crops could no longer survive.
Even if there are awakened people with purification abilities, most of them are still in a growth stage, and one or two people are simply not enough.
The zombie crisis had just ended, but we were about to fall into a food crisis.
Jiang Lin appeared at this time.
His ability seems to be planting.
The crops he grows can survive and grow rapidly on polluted land. The fruits he grows have no trace of pollution and are edible.
At first everyone thought that Jiang Lin's ability was just that, but they soon realized that this was just the tip of the iceberg - where the crops grew, the toxins in the soil were also slowly being purified.
The most powerful thing is that when many awakeners are still studying their abilities, this man named Jiang Lin who suddenly appeared has a very thorough understanding of his abilities and is terrifyingly powerful.
His presence made the entire Southern Base almost worry-free, and it became the most efficient reconstruction base among the 18 bases in the world.
Later, a senior executive who was not in a clear mind came up with the idea of studying Jiang Lin.
It was also at that time that Jiang Lin displayed his shocking fighting power, shattering the rumor that auxiliary awakeners could not fight.
It also allowed the southern base to completely settle down.
Such a man, he is strong, handsome, gentle and fascinating.
Many young girls in the base, including Zheng Na, were fascinated by him.
But Zheng Na was a relatively introverted person and had never expressed her love for him. Moreover, she had always felt that although Mr. Jiang Lin was gentle and polite to everyone, his beautiful and gentle eyes never seemed to allow anyone to enter.
But now it's different.
She got the news that Jiang Lin was leaving.
If she doesn't express her feelings now, she will never have the chance to express them again, and it will become a lifelong regret.
She plucked up the courage to stop Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin nodded and admitted it: Of course the base was unwilling, but if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
"I, I like you!" Zheng Na said loudly with a red face.
She suppressed her shyness and looked at Jiang Lin with wide eyes. She saw that his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he was a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure.
Her heart also began to lift.
"Thank you for your love." Jiang Lin's surprise lasted only a moment. He looked at the girl in front of him calmly and said, "I'm sorry."
"No, it's okay." Zheng Na blushed and asked unwillingly, "Can I know what type of girls you like?"
Jiang Lin shook his head, as if he remembered something, and said with a hint of smile: "I don't have a particular type, but there is one person I like."
Zheng Na:
Jiang Lin looked at her: "I already have a partner."
Although Zheng Na felt that the word "partner" sounded a bit strange, she was stunned by the fact that Jiang Lin already had a lover and had no time to care.
She felt a little sad, but she still suppressed her sadness and said, "Well, then I wish you all the best."
Finally, I couldn't help but add: "Your girlfriend is really enviable."
Jiang Lin shook his head: "Not a girlfriend."
"My boyfriend." After Jiang Lin finished speaking, he thought about the Taoist partner contract he and Zong Yu had signed. This contract was much more serious than a marriage certificate.
Then he changed his words: "Not a boyfriend, but... a husband."
Zheng Na: “… ?”
She was completely stunned, immersed in the huge bombshell of "I just found out today that my boyfriend likes someone of the same sex and they are already married."
By the time she reacted, Jiang Lin had already turned and left.
Jiang Lin returned to where he lived.
This was where he grew up as a human, but was later destroyed by the zombies.
During the reconstruction, due to its geographical location, it was not on the priority repair list. The Southern Base prepared a larger and more luxurious accommodation for him, but Jiang Lin declined.
It turns out that I am also a nostalgic person. This was the thought that occurred to Jiang Lin when he first came back here.
His experience of traveling through those worlds was like a long and wonderful dream.
The more wonderful the dream is, the lonelier you will be when you are awake.
Yes, lonely.
After coming out of the stone egg, he understood for the first time the feelings of "loneliness" and "missing".
Jiang Lin closed his eyes and dispersed his consciousness.
Emerald space cannot be opened.
I wonder where Qingluo and the others are now? Are they still waiting for me in the Emerald Space? They must be very anxious now, right
And...what about Zong Yu
Jiang Lin opened his eyes.
After he recovered all his memories and his soul returned to place, the person he felt most guilty about was Zong Yu.
His real body was sleeping in this stone egg before, and a wisp of his soul went to the three thousand parallel worlds to carry out the task specified by the system.
Towards other people, such as Qingluo, Huaiyin, Zhinu, and Jiangjin... I believe I can have a clear conscience.
Only a small one.
He knew that Zong Yu loved him. This kind of emotion was difficult for him to experience personally before, but he could analyze and perceive it from Zong Yu's eyes, from his embrace, and from his companionship.
When Jiang Lin agreed to be with Zong Yu, he couldn't really tell whether he liked him or not.
But he had a vague intuition and a voice in his heart telling him: Give it a try.
Try reaching out and holding those hands.
Otherwise, you will regret it later.
…
Jiang Lin let out a long sigh, stood in front of the window, and looked at the scarred land. The mark on his soul was still there, but it was quiet and there was no sense of existence at all. He had now become an ordinary human with superpowers.
He lost his vast soul consciousness that could easily perceive the entire planet.
But…
Jiang Lin put his hand over his heart. His soul had never been so complete. When he thought of Zong Yu, his heart had never been so violently beating as it was at this moment.
It turns out that after such a long period of companionship, he was not completely free of worldly desires.
The "Jiang Lin" who was on the mission was just his split soul and spirit.
No love, no desire.
The only reason he loves planting is because he has been following the Green Emperor for a long time and has been influenced by the thousand-year-old agricultural civilization during his reincarnation in this country called China.
"I don't know if it's too late now." He looked at the bright moon and smiled, "I will practice hard, and I hope I can still find you in time."
"Hmph." A dissatisfied snort suddenly came from my ear.
Jiang Lin was stunned.
The quiet mark on the soul suddenly trembled violently.
Jiang Lin turned around.
The man in black clothes appeared in the living room at some point, with a stern face and an angry look: "Do you know that I have been looking for you for a long time this time!"
He wanted to wait for Jiang Lin to come and comfort him.
As long as he comes over and says a few kind words to me, I will forgive him, Zong Yu thought to himself.
Unexpectedly, the man standing in front of him didn't even move, but just stood there quietly looking at him.
Don't you even want to coax me? Zong Yu made a bitter face in his heart, thinking in a tangled way, "Why don't I just go over there by myself?"
But the next moment, a figure appeared in front of him and his palms felt hot.
Zong Yu widened his eyes.
His hand was held, and his breath felt warm.
"You..." He looked at Jiang Lin in a daze.
"I'm sorry." Jiang Lin looked at him intently with a gentle smile, "I won't let you look for me again, okay?"
"From now on, wherever we go, we'll be together."
