Apocalypse: Last Traveler-Chapter 403 - 382: Oasis and the Future

Luo Ping successfully contacted the National Emergency Disaster Relief Command Post in East Sea City, and then established cooperation, which lasted for several months with significant results.

However, Lu Xi'an didn't ask about the specifics of the cooperation, so Luo Ping didn't say anything.

Luo Ping only mentioned Yao Huo's complaints to Lu Xi'an.

That old father of Yao Wei seems like an empty-nester, always complaining to Luo Ping that his daughter and son-in-law don't care about the family and never even call.

The headache for him now is that he doesn't have smart AI; he can only passively receive signals or broadcast through fixed frequencies but can't accurately send signals or "make calls."

So since Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei don't call Yao Huo, all he can do is complain helplessly.

After Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei heard these things from Luo Ping, they tried to "call" East Sea City, but unfortunately, the signal was always bad. They tried several times but couldn't get through.

This led Luo Ping to relay several calls from East Sea City to Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

Lu Xi'an sighed, "There's nothing we can do. We can only say fate hasn't arrived yet. We've called East Sea City more than once, but we just can't get through, see for yourself."

As he spoke, he called Gou, "Gou, find the National Emergency Disaster Relief Command Post in East Sea City and connect the broadcast signal."

Gou's voice soon resonated, "Signal not connected..."

Lu Xi'an shrugged at Luo Ping, "See?"

Luo Ping scratched his head, "There's really nothing to be done."

Then, after he returned to the 923 Base, he tried to connect with the National Emergency Disaster Relief Command Post and immediately got through, sighing, "It seems the big brother was right. Old man, you're just not destined to be with the big brother and sister."

He then explained a bit for Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

But once he explained, Yao Huo got even angrier, "Not destined?! That's my daughter! My son-in-law! I'm not destined to be with my own daughter and son-in-law?! What does this mean?! What's he implying?!"

Then Yao Sisi's voice sounded nearby, "Calm down, Dad, calm down. I think what they said makes sense."

"Bullshit makes sense!"

Yao Huo grew even more furious.

Luo Ping listened to the broadcast call, secretly laughing, thinking this father and daughter are really interesting.

The father and daughter argued for quite some time before finally stopping. Yao Huo said, "Luo Ping, wait at home. I have some things to do here, and after I'm done, I'll come find you. Then you'll take me to Caiyang Mountain in Yangcai County.

"I remember you said they were on Caiyang Mountain, right?"

Luo Ping was slightly surprised; the big sister's dad was coming?!

Then he heard Yao Sisi complaining, "Dad, why are you beating around the bush? There's a mark on sister and brother-in-law; can't you feel it?

"I saw you muttering with a map before, pretending not to know where sister and brother-in-law are, needing others to tell you. What's your point?"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

Yao Huo shouted repeatedly, but ultimately couldn't stop Yao Sisi's mouth.

Yao Sisi continued without stop, "You can go to Caiyang Mountain yourself, previously muttering that if sister and brother-in-law didn't connect over, you'd just go to them. You think I didn't hear? Now you're bothering others, really unnecessary."

"I told you to shut up!"

Yao Huo's voice sounded angry red.

Luo Ping thought Yao Sisi, the big sister's little sister, was truly amazing, taking apart her father's face really like two people in one.

"Anyway, it's decided. Brother Luo Ping, wait at home for me, I'll come over when I'm done, we'll go up Caiyang Mountain together and give Weiwei a surprise."

Yao Huo finally said.

Yao Sisi added, "Surprise? More like shock?"

Yao Huo gritted his teeth, "How did I give birth to a mouth like yours?"

Afterward, Yao Sisi stopped talking.

It was just that Yao Huo was busy for quite a while before finally heading to Pingchuan City with Yao Sisi. Their travel did not take much time, two unusual Type A Neo-Humans, rushing at a speed as fast as flying, didn't take long to arrive outside the 923 Base.

Along the way, their horizons broadened. Those orderly crops, organized farmers, village settlements, organized and tightly knit planning, leave one astonished.

Thus, Yao Huo couldn't help but feel many sentiments. Upon arriving outside the 923 Base, seeing Luo Ping personally coming out to greet, he couldn't help but praise, "I really didn't expect you to develop it this way, making me feel as if I've returned to the past. Truly incredible.

"We talked about an oasis for a while, everyone seeking, everyone longing but no one could find it. Now it seems, you guys found it.

"If this isn't an oasis, then where would an oasis be? Sisi, don't you agree?"

Yao Sisi nodded and said, "I used to pride on our place thinking it was the best and most civilized place in the world, but now I realize, compared to here, we're far behind. You guys are really amazing."

Luo Ping said, "It's not us who are amazing, it's the big brother and sister who are amazing. That is your daughter and son-in-law, Mr. Yao. Our development now is all thanks to them."

He said as he led the two into the 923 Base, walked through the corridor, into the courtyard, and they heard the sound of reading aloud.

The yard of the base was also full of lush crops, and side by side in the yard, there was a row of corridors, in the middle of the corridor rooms, plenty of young people and children gathering to learn literacy courses.

The teacher was once the first batch learning in the yard, just an ordinary person, but nowadays looks almost like Neo-Humans.

After the abundance of food, the health status of the people here also greatly changed, and life expectancy increased accordingly.

Yao Huo was impressed beyond measure, "I really didn't think your resources could be so abundant, organization so good, and even gather so many children to study together. I couldn't achieve this back there."

"You're so focused on revenge that you can't pay attention to anything else..."

Yao Sisi mumbled a sentence but didn't say it out loud. She looked at this place and, inexplicably moved, wanted to go inside and take a look.

Luo Ping said, "It's all thanks to the seeds brought here by the big brother and sister, and many old world textbooks, that we've become what we are now. Moreover, it's the base opened by the big brother and sister that gives us a place to thrive without worrying about food, drink, or warmth.

"Big brother told us many stories here back in the day, emphasizing the importance of relationships between people, valuing education, and nurturing children. Children are our future, and we must develop both now and the future.

"We've always followed these principles, which is why we have what we do now." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Yao Huo and Yao Sisi were slightly moved, not expecting Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei to be so important here.

Yao Huo said, "Can you tell me about your stories in detail? I'd love to hear them."

Luo Ping laughed, "Of course, no problem. We won't be able to head to Caiyang Mountain anytime soon; we have to wait for the tide to recede. So I'll tell you the whole story, starting from back in Yubei City..."

He began telling Yao Huo and Yao Sisi, and as he spoke, Chai Xin joined in to add a segment about her time with Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei in Mengxin.

Then Shu came over to add some stories about Sword Mountain.

Later, Liu Hua and Tang Er also joined, but they didn't say much. The major discoveries at the 923 Base were primarily told by Luo Ping. The two only mentioned their brief encounters with Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao in Shanyang County.

Next was Blade, who briefly talked about the situation in Jiangdong.

Then Lu Shou told stories about the Sickness Village and Healing Village.

After that, they talked about Caiyang Mountain and East Island, as well as the trade exchanges between East Island and the 923 Base.

Everyone chimed in, with Luo Ping leading the main narrative, detailing the journey of Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei. Despite rarely being at the base, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei influenced every aspect of its development.

Listening, Yao Sisi suddenly couldn't help but feel a yearning; her sister and brother-in-law had accomplished so much and experienced such interesting adventures. And the people here...

While Luo Ping and the others were sharing, the ordinary people finished their work and gathered around, listening, speaking, and supplementing, in such harmony. Remarkably, there was not a hint of division between the Neo-Humans and ordinary people.

As night fell, to welcome Yao Huo and Yao Sisi, everyone gathered, feasted, sang, danced, laughed, and held a grand and lively party.

Yao Huo and Yao Sisi listened to the people singing songs like "Friends Walk Together for Life", "How Could We Forget Old Friends", "I'm Waiting Here for You to Come Back", and so on. It was so amusing and lively, unlike anywhere else.

"This place is really great..."

Yao Sisi couldn't help but sigh.

Yao Huo asked, "What, do you want to stay here?"

Yao Sisi shook her head, saying, "I might want to stay here in the future, but right now, I just want to follow the path my sister and brother-in-law took and see the scenery they saw along the way."

Yao Huo said, "Then after seeing your sister, I'll go with you."

Yao Sisi glanced disdainfully at Yao Huo, "Forget it, you really ruin the mood."

Yao Huo: "..."

"How about it, pretty good, right? These were the songs big brother used to sing, and he was quite the singer!"

Luo Ping sang several songs and came over to Yao Huo and Yao Sisi, saying, "Uncle, second sister, do you think if big brother lived in the past, he would have been a famous singer?"

Uncle naturally referred to Yao Huo, and as Yao Wei was the eldest sister, Yao Sisi was naturally the second sister. Although she didn't particularly like this title, she couldn't stop herself from persistently calling Yao Huo that.

"..."

Yao Sisi was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Our brother-in-law is so amazing, I'm a little jealous of my sister now."

Yao Huo said, "Don't compete with your sister."

Yao Sisi replied, "Don't worry, I've already seen what kind of person our brother-in-law is. He's great with my sister. Unlike you, trying to find a stepmother for my sister."

"..."

Yao Huo really wanted to ask Yao Sisi if she even heard what she was saying, but he held back, not wanting to argue with his talkative second daughter.

As the night passed and a few more days went by, Luo Ping repeatedly tried to call the camper on Caiyang Mountain but couldn't get through. So, estimating the timing was just right, he set off with Yao Huo and Yao Sisi toward Caiyang Mountain.

Alongside them was Chai Xin.

And to their surprise, when they reached the top of Caiyang Mountain, they found Yao Wei had already given birth, and the midwife from East Island was taking care of the little baby wrapped snugly in a swaddle.

Luo Ping, full of excitement, immediately went over to look at the little one.

Lu Xi'an warned, "Be careful, my boy here is quite strong."

Luo Ping didn't care, "It's fine, big brother, I see everything looks good with your crib, and Gou is still on the bed without a single problem.

"If the bed's fine, how could anything happen to me?"

Lu Xi'an replied, "That's because he likes the bed and Gou, so he controls his strength."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Ping had already approached the baby, with a sly expression, reaching his hand out to the baby, "Come, let uncle flick your little bird."

"Boom—"

Luo Ping was kicked flying.

Yao Huo quickly said, "Hurry, catch him, and stuff something into his mouth!"

[The End.]
