Shi Yu, who was forever stuck at the age of eighteen, was the most unspeakable scar in Gou Liang's heart.

Counting carefully, after experiencing eight worlds, only Shi Yu and Meng Hao had an appearance score of four and a half stars in the early stages.

After Meng Hao evolved into the Son of the Beast God, he managed to get the last half stars in his appearance score, but Shi Yu lost the opportunity to mature.

Gou Liang had fantasized many times about what he would look like when he grew up.

His eyebrows would be deeper, his facial features would be firmer, his body would be wider, his height would be taller, and the smile on his face would be a little more or a little less …

But the moment he saw Shi Buyu, he knew that this was Shi Yu.

The thirty-year-old Shi Yu.

It wasn't because this appearance was in line with his imagination. This was the truth, even if it was unimaginable.

In fact, the target, or the carrier of the fragment, would have a certain degree of similarity in their appearance. The most direct was their sharp, cold, and arrogant pair of sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and strong and handsome facial features.

This was because their soul was made up of fragments.

In other words, the fragments were the target's soul.

This was the reason why the System couldn't determine the location of the fragments in the target's soul.

Gou Liang had already seen through this point when he experienced the second world. But he originally thought that he could only see the true appearance of Shi Yu, or rather, his lover, when he collected all the fragments and pieced the broken soul back together into its most authentic and complete appearance.

Maybe then, he wouldn't have any regrets.

But he didn't expect that he would realize the extravagant hope hidden in the deepest part of his heart here, at this moment.

"Shi Yu …"

He cried until his whole face was wrinkled up.

The squeezed excess fat was really ugly, but Shi Buyu felt a strange sourness in his heart.

Suppressing the urge to comfort him, Shi Buyu clumsily pulled out a towel that he used to wipe his sweat. He handed it to him and said, "Mr. Tang, I'm the third son of the Shi Family. But you remembered wrong. My name is Shi Buyu, not Shi Yu. "

Then, he sighed and said, "Don't cry. It's already a blessing that you're still alive. Uncle Tang and the others will also be happy for you. Quickly wipe away your tears. Living well is the best filial piety for them. "

No matter how intelligent Shi Buyu was, it was impossible for him to guess that the "Fatty Tang" in front of him was his first love from several lifetimes ago. He could only think of Shi Buyu's heartbreak as the pain of losing a loved one.

Thinking of this, Shi Buyu was a little envious of him.

At least Gou Liang could cry openly, unlike him who could not cry even if he wanted to.

"No, you're Shi Yu!"

[Beep — —!!!!]

[Master! Wake up!! He still remembered Fatty Tang, but he might not remember Little Strawberry! Are you sure he won't be as petty as a grape?! Quickly shut your mouth, my dear master!]

Gou Liang, who was brought back to his senses by the raging System, suddenly shut his mouth. He felt really wronged and wronged.

Shi Buyu saw that his persuasion only made Shi Buyu cry even more, so he simply shut his mouth and stuffed the towel into Shi Buyu's hand.

Gou Liang did not take it. He was very focused on crying. His pair of slender eyes stared straight at Shi Buyu, as if he had done something outrageous.

Shi Buyu's mouth twitched and he surrendered. "Fine, Uncle, I'll serve you, okay?"

As he spoke, he rudely put the towel on Gou Liang's face and rudely wiped his tears.

Before he could withdraw his hand, Gou Liang suddenly pounced on Shi Buyu at lightning speed.

"Shi Xiaoyu!"

I want a hug.

Bang!

A weight of 150 kilograms fiercely smashed into Shi Buyu's chest. The modified car shook.

"What's going on?"

"Boss?"

There was no response. Yu Lin and Qin Bei suddenly became vigilant.

"… F * ck."

Caught off guard, Shi Buyu's face twisted in pain. His breathing was stopped for three seconds before he squeezed out a sound from his throat. He angrily pushed Gou Liang. "Get the f * ck up!"

"No …"

"If you don't get up, I won't go easy on you!"

"You don't dare …"

"F * ck, let's see if I dare or not!"

In the violent struggle, the car kept shaking. Yu Lin quickly stepped on the brakes.

Qin Bei skillfully passed through the passenger window and jumped on top of the car. He issued a warning to the second car. Yu Sen also went on top of the car. Zhou Gao jumped out of the car and rushed over.

Shi Buyu was tightly pressed under Gou Liang's huge body. Even the emergency brake didn't shake him and Gou Liang, who were as solid as a rock. As he spoke, he was about to flip Gou Liang over. However, he heard the latter say in a thick nasal voice, "You have a strength of 700 kilograms. You can directly estimate my spine."

Shi Buyu: "…"

He softened his strength and heard Gou Liang say again, "If it's less than 700 kilograms, you can't push me away. I forgot to tell you, I've also awakened the strength ability. "

Shi Buyu: "…"

He gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?"

Gou Liang righteously said, "I have skin hunger and thirst disease. If you don't let me hug you, I will uncontrollably feel uneasy. I won't be able to stop my emotions and will keep crying. "

Shi Buyu cursed, "F * ck your father!"

At the same time, the side door of the truck was quickly pushed open by Yu Lin.

Yu Lin: "?!!!"

Zhou Gao rushed up and said, "What happened? What's wrong with Boss?! Damn fatty, what are you doing to Boss?! "

Shi Buyu: "…"

The car arrived at the armory "safely" within the estimated time.

City A's emergency weapons reserve was located in the basement of the National Bank. Not only did it have the world's top security system, it was even better than the Jia Family's underground laboratory. It also stored extremely lethal weapons.

Ever since Shi Buyu walked out of the laboratory alive, his original military rank and file had been turned into an S-class confidential document. It was inconvenient for his military rank to be promoted, but his authority had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. In the country, except for a few places, he could freely enter and leave.

The armory was naturally no exception.

Although weapons were limited in their lethality against mutated beasts, they could already foresee that in the future, humans would have to rely on supernatural abilities to defeat them.

But for now, whether it was because people were unfamiliar with supernatural abilities or because their supernatural abilities were weak, they still relied more on firearms.

After equipping their weapons, the hour hand pointed to four in the morning.

The team rested for a day in the armory according to the original plan. In order to accommodate the mutated beasts' habits, they had to change their habits and change to sleeping during the day and going out at night.

At this time, Gou Liang was trying to connect to the satellite equipment.

Electronic technology was the original owner's specialty, so Gou Liang didn't need to hide his skills. His thick and fat fingers were flying across the keyboard, so fast that it was impossible to see where his fingers were landing, leaving only a white shadow of his hands.

Zhou Gao was greatly surprised. Gou Liang boasted shamelessly, "Except for when I'm doing something, my hand speed is definitely faster than yours."

Zhou Gao didn't react and asked, "What is it?"

Gou Liang gave him a mocking look with an IQ of 150, then opened his mouth to Shi Buyu. The latter opened the military nutrient solution tube and stuffed it into his mouth. Gou Liang began to suck it like a pacifier.

Yu Lin clapped his hands in agreement and said with a laugh, "Old Zhou, you're really faster than anyone when it comes to this!"

"What is it … Fuck! You're tired of living! "

Amidst everyone's mocking laughter, Zhou Gao finally reacted and rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight with Yu Lin!

Yu Lin hid behind his brother Yu Sen and shouted, "I'm praising you, big brother. Who doesn't know that you were a godly marksman before you retired? Even our boss doesn't dare to say that he's faster than you."

Zhou Gao looked at this heartless fellow who was laughing while holding his stomach and saying insincere praises. He snorted.

He magnanimously didn't argue with him, but when he sat down, Zhou Gao still emphasized, "I'm not fast when I'm shooting with a pistol. If anyone's not convinced, let's take off their pants right now."

Qin Bei scolded him, then glanced at Shi Buyu who was staring at the computer screen. He then looked at Gou Liang who had already sucked the nutrient solution tube dry and was still biting it in his mouth. He muttered, "How does it look like our boss has a grudge with that fatty Tang? His eagerness makes him look like he's serving his mistress from his previous life. "

This was already the seventh tube of nutrient solution that Gou Liang had sucked. It was enough to feed their team for three days.

Yu Sen frowned and said, "Don't you guys feel like we're using up a little too quickly today?"

He also felt a little hungry, which was very abnormal for someone with his physique.

The others looked at each other. It was obvious that they felt the same way.

Zhou Gao was a little thick-skinned. He didn't consider the problem of increasing the consumption of resources like the others. Instead, he glanced at Shi Buyu in puzzlement and muttered, "What's our boss looking at? His eyes are shining."

Seeing that Gou Liang, who had forcefully stopped them from approaching and said that their below-average looks would affect his thinking, was so engrossed that he didn't notice the others, Zhou Gao couldn't hold back his curiosity and tiptoed behind Shi Buyu.

When he saw the scene on the screen, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Shi Buyu stopped him in time. He was about to blurt out a "F * ck" before he could stop himself.

When the others saw this, they couldn't help but take a look.

After understanding what Gou Liang was doing, even Jang Ren, who didn't change his expression even in the face of the apocalypse, had a look of astonishment on his face.

The screen was divided into ten small windows. The large window in the middle showed data that they couldn't understand, while the other eight showed parts of the satellite that were operating at high speed. However, they could clearly see the image of the satellite flying towards China's airspace while avoiding the exotic beasts. Gou Liang was fighting the exotic beasts across space, snatching the few remaining satellites from their hands.

The reason why communications were cut off wasn't only because the ground satellite receiving stations were destroyed. What was worse was that the satellites launched into space were damaged during the invasion of the exotic beasts.

The receiving stations could be repaired and rebuilt, but with the current state of technology, once the satellites were destroyed, the communications would be crippled beyond repair.

After Gou Liang drank another three tubes of nutrient solution, the small windows that showed the internal structure of the satellites were replaced by satellite images. Real-time images of the planet's surface appeared in front of everyone's eyes one after another.

"Isn't this too awesome …."

Zhou Gao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. The others' attention was quickly attracted by the satellite images of the human cities destroyed by the exotic beasts, and the exotic beasts running all over the place. Their faces were heavy.

Although they were already mentally prepared for the grim situation, seeing it with their own eyes still made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Gou Liang's fingers didn't stop moving. After about ten minutes, there was a sudden buzzing sound, and the voice became clearer and clearer. "Kyushu Base, together with the survivors, please don't give up hope …."

When he heard this sentence clearly, even the uncouth Zhou Gao felt his eyes burning up.

At the same time, in Kyushu Base.

"Tea-teacher! Come quickly! We can connect to the ultra-short wave and microwave signals! Communications have been restored!! "

"Really?! What's going on? "

The old man quickly walked over.

His student was so excited that his face was flushed red. He said, "Twenty minutes ago, a hacker suddenly connected to my computer. He said that he was a Chinese survivor and was snatching satellites. He asked me to remotely synchronize my computer with him. I thought that there were no secrets in my computer, and no one would make such a joke, so I agreed. I didn't expect it to be true! "

"That's great! God bless us!"

The old man saw the rows of extinguished red warning lights and green lights in the control room, indicating that communications had been restored. For a moment, tears welled up in his eyes.

As he spoke, he wiped his tears, put on his headphones, and tried his best to remain calm as he asked tentatively, "This is Kyushu Base's communication station. I'm Zhang An, the person in charge of communication. Can you hear me? I repeat, this is …. "

Before he could finish, he heard a young voice in his ear, "This is City A, I'm a survivor of City A, and I have six survivors with me."

As he spoke, the leader who heard the news quickly arrived.

After roughly understanding the situation, he put on his headphones and said, "Hello, this is Kyushu Base. I'm Yao Sanjun, the person in charge. Can you hear me?"

With a bang, the sound of neat and loud military boots closing together rang in his ears. Familiar but long-awaited reports rang in the leader's ears.

"Officer No. 00107, Major General Shi Buyu, belonging to the First Army of China, salutes you!"

"Officer No. 00114, Lieutenant Colonel Yu Sen, belonging to the First Army of China, salutes you!"

"Officer No. 00115, Lieutenant Colonel Jang Ren, belonging to the First Army of China, salutes you!"

"Officer No. 00118, Major General Qin Bei, belonging to the First Army of China, salutes you!"

"Officer No. 00109, retired from the First Army of China, Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lin, salutes you!"

"Officer No. 00121, retired from the First Army of China, Major General Zhou Gao, salutes you!"

"Major General Shi, you're still alive! That's great, that's great … "

Lieutenant General Yao burst into tears. He stood up, made a military salute, and responded sonorously, "Officer No. 00103, Lieutenant General Yao San, belonging to the First Army of China, salutes you!"

Even Gou Liang, who had no sense of belonging to his country, was stunned by this scene. He couldn't help but tear up, let alone the others.

— — As long as the soldiers wearing the Huaxia military uniform were still alive, the country would not perish.

This kind of belief didn't need to be expressed in words. They tacitly adhered to it, and were willing to go through fire and water for it.

After calming down a little, Lieutenant General Yao asked about Shi Buyu's next step.

After learning that he didn't plan to return to Kyushu Base, but planned to continue to complete the mission outside, Lieutenant General Yao, who was the only one among the survivors who knew about Shi Buyu's mission, immediately expressed his support. He said, "Major General Shi, you can do whatever you want. Don't worry about Kyushu Base, we'll defend this last line of defense with our lives. "

"Yes, sir!"

Shi Buyu replied.

Then, Gou Liang and the technicians at the communication station talked about the use of the new satellite. The satellites in outer space were almost destroyed, and less than one in ten of China's satellites were still intact. Therefore, Gou Liang used a dormant satellite that originally belonged to another country. They weren't familiar with it.

After telling them some things to pay attention to, Gou Liang said, "I've seized two satellites this time. One of them is on standby. If you need anything, feel free to message me. In addition, according to my sound wave experiment, this sound wave has a certain repelling effect on exotic beasts. I used this to make a defensive layer for the satellite. However, this frequency of sound waves is also harmful to the human body. I don't have the equipment or manpower here, so you can try to use it. "

If they could, this would be a life-saving treasure!

"Thank you so much!"

Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

After ending the communication, Qin Bei wiped the tears on his face and said somewhat dispiritedly, "I didn't expect that the First Army, except for us and Yao Zhong, would already be …"

The First Army of China was an internal organization that wasn't made public. Although it was an army, it actually only had fifty people, including the country's top generals and special forces who carried out special missions like them.

After the outbreak of the apocalypse, they risked their lives to kill many exotic beasts, which allowed Kyushu Base to learn about the existence of exotic beasts' basic information and abilities.

The information that was piled up with words was filled with the blood and dreams of countless people. It was beyond anyone's imagination.

The smile on Shi Buyu's face disappeared, and he silently mourned for his comrades who had sacrificed themselves.

Gou Liang looked at him with heartache, but he considerately didn't disturb him.

After three minutes of silence, Gou Liang said, "Shi Xiaoyu, come here."

"You're so rude."

Shi Buyu rubbed his face and returned to his normal state. As he spoke, he reached out and patted Shi Buyu's head to show his dissatisfaction.

Gou Liang snorted. "Shi Buyu," this kind of ugly name, who wants to call him that?!

Shi Buyu didn't care about him. After expressing his attitude, he looked at the computer screen that Gou Liang had solemnly shown him. He saw the title of the encyclopedia on the screen:

Skin Thirst Syndrome.
