Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! - Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Military Base
Colonel Tang’s entourage ultimately met with Wang Chul.

At the sight of the pursuing wolves, Colonel Tang ordered the soldiers he brought to assist Wang Chul.

The pack of wolves sensed that the balance of power was tipping on the other side.

They quickly withdrew but not before dragging the other deceased wolves’ corpses away, disappearing into the rows of ruined buildings and houses.

Wang Chul and the others managed to catch their breath.

Uncle Zhang and Uncle Cang also caressed their wives’ backs, murmuring that everything will be alright.

Remembering Lin Weihao and the other who had remained in the Plant Conservatory, Wang Chul told Colonel Tang about them.

Lin Weihao’s grandfather and Colonel Tang had a close-knit relationship when they were both still serving in the army.

He was Colonel Tang’s direct superior.

Colonel Tang would often see the kid Lin Weihao when he tagged along with his grandfather to see the planes and aircraft.

As Lin Weihao grew older, he stopped visiting the military base and only resumed his visits three months ago.

Regarding Lin Weihao’s whereabouts, he knew he had left days ago to check a village located to the left of the military base.

The Plant Conservatory is in a totally different direction.

It was baffling how Lin Weihao had ended up there.

Soon, Colonel Tang saw Feng Ran, Bingwen, and Hei Qian had gotten off the other cars and also told him the same thing.

Colonel Tang quickly arranged a party to search for Lin Weihao.

….

Inside an ambulance, a Humvee parked near the gate of Entrance No. 3. Nanzhi strapped the unconscious Xuan Yi securely after treating his wounds and frostbite.

His face had regained a healthy pallor, and he was no longer trembling.

As Nanzhi began to treat Lin Weihao, she reviewed the battle against the Wolf King in her mind.

Lin Weihao looked at Nanzhi’s face in close proximity.

Her calloused fingers moved across the wound on his stomach and legs.

Her skills, as if practiced many times, were fluid and gentle.

If one didn’t know she was an accountant, they would have mistaken her for a nurse.

Her pair of hands to have their own healing powers as when they touched his wounds, the pain and cold dispersed, only leaving warmth.

In angle Nanzhi couldn’t see, the man’s eyes crinkled in delight.

After treating him, Nanzhi dragged a stool and placed it by his stretcher before sitting down.

Her eyes were gloomy, hovering above the bandages.

“Thank you.” Lin Weihao’s lips stretched.

A smile hung on his lips.

It still feels different when Zhi Zhi shows concern.

His heart feels stuffy.

“You don’t have to protect Xuan Yi with your life just because I ask you to carry him.” Remnants of the wrath she felt in regards to the sight of him getting injured stuck at the corner of her mind, like a glued cassette tape, and it played like a broken loop.

Nanzhi knew that if it weren’t for him carrying Xuan Yi, Lin Weihao would have had no problem dodging the Wolf King’s attacks.

She felt that these wounds were due to her and made her feel burdened.

A light chuckle came from above.

Nanzhi looked up and saw Lin Weihao laughing.

“What are you laughing at? What if the icicles had pierced you deeper or had hit your organs or your eyes or heart?

The frown in her lips deepened after seeing he still had the audacity to laugh.

She suddenly realized why the other ‘her’ had scolded him quite often.

Look at him chuckling. Even she felt like scolding him.

She felt two fingers on her left cheek, pinching it lightly.

Lin Weihao was amazed by the silky texture of her cheeks and stroked it a few more times before saying with his face slowly recovering from paleness.

It’s like the old Zhi Zhi, who likes to nag him, had come back.

This was the most lively Nanzhi had been in this life.

“You’re so silly. I already said it. Whatever you want me to do. I’ll do it, even if it’s taking my own life.”

The last part was uttered in a low and vulnerable voice, as if he was pleading.

“…just don’t leave me.”

His eyes carried the conviction of someone who was ready to leave everything behind, to die.

Nanzhi didn’t know how her expression had turned out after.

The only thing she knew is Lin Weihao had managed to pave his way on the land she closely guarded- her heart.

As Nanzhi was driving on the dark road, a small smile sprouted on her lips.

Lin Weihao, sitting in the passenger seat, had caught that fleeting smile on Nanzhi’s lips.

Despite not being aware of the reason behind it, Lin Weihao found it infectious.

His mood soared and aligned with hers.

[Special Mission: Obtain Resource Point and Rescue Professor Xuan Yi]

[Special Mission is completed.]

[Special Mission Rewards is issued.]

[You’ve earned 2,000 EXP.]

[You’ve earned an Upgrade Card.]

Another Upgrade Card!

She’ll save this one for later.

[Special Mission: Escort Base Survivors to the Military Base]

[Time Limit: 4 days]

[You’ve earned 350 EXP.]

Nanzhi looked at the second special mission.

If she can take advantage of the remaining time, she can earn more EXP.

The commercial district and the private compound near the military base look empty.

The soldiers may have already come here to rescue people.

Lin Weihao withdrew the satellite phone he stowed in the space.

Almost instantly, a call came through.

It was Lin Yicheng.

“Uncle! Uncle! How can you monopolize Sister’s time! You didn’t answer my call since this morning. I want to talk to Sister too!”

Lin Yicheng’s tone was full of grievance.

“Your sister is driving, and she can’t answer your call.”

Lu Nanzhi heard that the call was from Lin Yicheng, and she had the urge to answer it.

“How can you allow Sister to drive? I saw a lot of movies where boys drive cars for girls. Isn’t Uncle supposed to be a gentleman? Maybe that’s because Sister hasn’t married you yet. Uncle should watch more movies!”

Lin Weihao’s lips twitch.

This kid just hit his sore spot.

Lin Weihao answered truthfully, “My legs are injured, and I can’t drive for a moment.”

Injured?

Lin Yicheng’s eyes widened in realization. He became worried.

Inside one of the private living quarters reserved for the immediate families of the high base official, a little kid wearing a thick blue winter coat was sitting on the sofa.

It was Lin Yicheng.

His voice was very loud, attracting the butler.

Because his attention was solely on the phone, he hadn’t noticed someone was behind him.

“Uncle, are you okay? Is the injury that big? Did you go to the hospital already? Does it hurt? But why are you injured?”

“Darling, what did you say? Your uncle is injured?”

Lin Yicheng was startled and looked up, only to see his grandmother.

The look in her eyes suggests she was about to scold someone.

Lin Weihao was perplexed as to why Lin Yicheng had stopped talking.

It was until he heard a roar coming from the other line.

He instantly distanced his ears from the phone.

The roar was so loud that even Nanzhi thought it was an alien beast.

“Lin Weihao! My darling just told me you are injured! You better get your ass back here as soon as you can, or I swear I will stuff you back into my womb!”

Nanzhi guessed that it must be Lin Weihao’s mother.

A trace of relief flashed in her eyes.

At least, he was able to be with his mother in this timeline.

Lin Weihao knew he was in deep trouble.

Just then, they spotted wolves appearing in front of the car.

Lin Daxia, who was still on the phone, heard the howls, and her heart beat at a frantic pace.

“Weihao! Tell me what’s going on! What are those howls I am hearing?!”

She wanted to know what was happening, but her son ended the call.

“Mother, I’ll talk to you later.”

Lin Daxia quickly grabbed her coat and run to her father-in-law’s office.

As Nanzhi was driving, Lin Weihao took care of the wolves.

Along the way, he had absorbed some spars and recovered his mental power.

Thankfully, the new wolves were not very difficult to deal with.

Nanzhi saw the prompts and was less worried.

Her eyes observed the wolves, and from the details she had gathered, she guessed they must be the rejects of the packs.

Some alien beast was very strict in their hierarchy and kicked out any members thye deemed weak from their group.

After throwing grenades, they were able to stop the pack.

The wolves whimpered and gave up chasing.

The two spotted cars ahead.

Their headlights blinded Nanzhi.

Because the models of the car were similar to the Humvees, she slammed on the brake, guessing they were soldiers.

People came out of the cars and approached their cars in caution.

Lin Weihao had rolled the window down enough for a small gap for him to listen to the voices outside.

One voice was very familiar.

“Colonel Tang.”

Colonel Tang was shocked.

At the same time, he was relieved.

When he saw that Lin Weihao was with a woman and they seemed to be very close, his curiosity was pique.

But because it was no place to talk and it was getting late, they quickly drove to the Military Base.
