The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World

Chapter 58 Everyone Is a Coward

Take it at will?

Hearing this, Li Meng felt a little emotional.

Yingjiang Shelter is really sitting on a mountain of gold. One food city feeds so many people, and there is no shortage of food for decades.

But then again, before the nuclear war, Qing'an City had a population of millions, and there were only three food cities. All food expenses in the city, whether it was restaurants or vegetable vendors, were wholesaled from these three food cities, so the food storage capacity was naturally amazing.

Before the nuclear war broke out, Li Meng was also a native of Qing'an City and knew Qing'an City well. If his workplace was still there, it would be easy to find.

However, the Jinrong Building in the city center should no longer be there. Located in the center of the nuclear explosion, no matter how solid the building is, it will be vaporized, leaving no residue. If there is no snow to cover it, the city center should have become a huge bomb crater.

Even if there are only 8,000 people, this number is not small...

"Huh..."

After taking a deep breath, Li Meng leaned back and said calmly: "Go, so many people are migrating, so you must be fully prepared. The migration matters are left to you."

Nodding, without saying anything more, Chen Tianyou stood up and strode away.

He really needs more time to prepare and recruit more people to organize the team to migrate.

As soon as Chen Tianyou left the tent, a graceful figure came towards him.

It was Ma Yuzhen. The two looked at each other, nodded tacitly, and stopped in front of the lined army.

"Is he awake?"

Looking at the soldiers lined up in front of the tent behind Chen Tianyou, Ma Yuzhen shook her head and said, "Not yet. I just changed his bandage and cleaned his wound. The wound is not inflamed. He should wake up tonight or tomorrow."

Hearing this, Chen Tianyou frowned slightly and said, "We will move tomorrow, and he has not woken up yet..., let's do this, I will arrange someone to carry him tomorrow and try to avoid causing a second injury to the wound."

Nodding, Ma Yuzhen showed gratitude and thanked, "Chen Tianyou, thank you!"

Shaking his head, Chen Tianyou said, "There is no need to say more about thanking you. Although we are superiors and subordinates, we are also friends. I will help if I can. Okay, you go in. I have something else to do, so I will leave first..."

With that, Chen Tianyou turned around and strode away in Ma Yuzhen's grateful eyes.

Looking at Chen Tianyou's departing back, Ma Yuzhen also put away her mind, rubbed her almost stiff face, and turned to enter the tent.

In the tent, Ma Yuzhen saw the governor sitting on the sofa.

With a slight smile, Ma Yuzhen walked into the depths of the tent and said, "Your Excellency must be hungry. I will prepare dinner now..."

In the kitchen, Ma Yuzhen was busy, and there was a sound of pots and pans.

Looking back at Ma Yuzhen who was busy in the kitchen, Li Meng asked, "How is Sun Gaowu's injury?"

Hearing this, Ma Yuzhen's expression froze, and then she regained her calmness and smiled, "Although he hasn't woken up yet, the wound is not inflamed and will get better."

Ma Yuzhen knew that the governor should know that she was Sun Gaowu's wife.

She wanted to find an opportunity to tell the governor, but she didn't expect that the governor already knew.

"Some of your husbands and the husbands of other women died in my hands, and some were injured because of me. Do you hate me?"

Hate?

After pausing her movements, Ma Yuzhen continued to work on the stove...

With a calm expression on her face, Ma Yuzhen said quietly: "We are just women, what can we do? Every day, people die outside, frozen to death, killed by strange beasts, and died in fights with people in other shelters. Dead is dead, how they died is not important, the dead are dead, and the living have to continue to live. Hatred will not make us stronger, but make us more vulnerable. Here, in this world, people with fragile hearts cannot survive."

Is everything just for survival?

Li Meng looked away from Ma Yuzhen, and his expression was thoughtful.

Ma Yuzhen's words reminded Li Meng of the original owner of this body.

His mother died, his father died, his uncle died, and even his aunt had to follow the enemy.

Does he want revenge?

Of course, but he can't even support himself, so how can he have the energy to take revenge?

He may be cowardly, but in this world, everyone is cowardly in order to survive.

At this moment, Li Meng no longer despised the original owner of this body as much as before.

After all, Li Meng had never lived in this harsh environment. When he woke up, he inherited the legacy of an ancient interstellar empire. Although it was not smooth sailing, he was much more comfortable than ordinary people.

"My lord, it's time to eat..."

Holding a pot of steaming food, Ma Yuzhen came to the dining table and placed the rice bowl in her hand on the table.

Standing up, Li Meng came to the dining table and looked into the rice bowl...

It was rice with toppings again. It seemed that Ma Yuzhen was very good at making this kind of food.

However, it was convenient to do this with rice and bagged food. Li Meng was not picky, as long as he could eat it.

Li Meng had just sat down, and Ma Yuzhen had just served a bowl of rice in front of Li Meng. Before he started eating, the door curtain was lifted and an imperial archer walked in.

"Governor, there is someone outside who said that Sun Gaowu has woken up..."

Hearing this, Ma Yuzhen's face was happy, and he looked at Li Meng with hesitation.

With a faint smile, Li Meng picked up the chopsticks and said, "Go ahead..."

Li Meng could understand Ma Yuzhen's mood at the moment. Ma Yuzhen was pregnant with Sun Gaowu's child. Even if there was no relationship, Ma Yuzhen naturally did not want the child's father to die like this.

"Sir, thank you..."

Glancing at Li Meng gratefully, Ma Yuzhen put down the iron spoon in her hand and hurried out.

Listening to Ma Yuzhen's retreating footsteps, Li Meng ate his rice bowl in silence.

In his heart, Li Meng thought of Sun Gaowu, Sister You, and Yan'er.

Family affection is family affection, which is different from love. Love is an extension of the relationship between husband and wife.

A long time ago, before the nuclear war, when Li Meng was still alive, he also longed for love, but now...

Perhaps it is because his soul has been digitized by 2020. Li Meng has a very complicated feeling about himself. Although he has his own thoughts, he seems to have lost something. He has emotional fluctuations, gets angry, and has problems with women. That feeling, but above the emotion, Li Meng was as calm as a machine. It was a wonderful feeling, as if any emotional fluctuation would not make him lose his mind.

Take Ma Yuzhen as an example. The two slept almost naked hugging each other. As a man, Li Meng would naturally have physical feelings. The feeling was very strong. As long as Li Meng wanted to, he could possess Ma Yuzhen just last night. , but Li Meng didn't do that. He just held Ma Yuzhen and slept all night, using Ma Yuzhen as a bed-warming tool.

Why is this so?

Because Li Meng felt that Ma Yuzhen was pregnant, which was inappropriate.

As soon as this thought arose, both physical and inner desires were quickly extinguished.

This is Li Meng's reason, as cold as steel.

As a normal person, this is naturally abnormal. If he is a normal person, even if his reason suppresses his desires, he will still be tortured. However, Li Meng's heart is as clear as water. He really just hugged Ma Yuzhen and slept all night without saying anything. Didn't think about it...
