Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies
Chapter 469 - 458: Grand Finale_6

Chapter 469: Chapter 458: Grand Finale_6

There’s an excavator, a logging electric saw, a 3D building printer, bricks, sand lime, and cement, as well as tables, white paper, and pencils.

Of course, there’s also a pile of food and drinks.

"These food and beverages, everyone can take what they need."

Coffee, milk tea, cola, mineral water, beer, pizza... a smorgasbord of delicacies and drinks.

"I’ll handle the design!"

"I’ll go log timber!"

"I’ll go..."

"I’ll take charge of coordinating!"

"....."

Jiang Yan looked at the enthusiastic crowd and felt gratified. She moved her mind again and took out a bunch of tents.

"Tonight, everyone might have to squeeze into these tents for a bit."

"In such a beautiful place, I’d rather sleep on the lawn!"

"Me too."

"Me too!"

A warrior suggested, "Sister Yan, have you thought about pulling out that destroyer? The destroyer has many cabins; maybe we can use fewer tents."

"Oh, that’s a good idea." Jiang Yan suddenly realized. "What’s your name?"

"Reporting to Sister Yan, my name is Gu Chen!"

"Got it."

With the help of the 3D building printer, a few villas and little high-rise buildings were quickly completed.

However, Jiang Yan didn’t allow everyone to move in immediately.

Instead, she stuck to pre-apocalypse habits: airing them out, removing formaldehyde—once everything was sorted, she let everyone move in.

Jiang Yan didn’t buy any furniture prior to the apocalypse.

Therefore, all the furniture came from the skilled craftsmen in the team.

Almost all were handcrafted wooden pieces.

The black soil in [Real Space] was also successfully utilized.

There were agricultural experts in the team who started working the land and led many to grow vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs.

They busied themselves from dawn till dusk.

No one knew where Jiang Yan had gotten a pile of eggs.

Under expert cultivation, chicken, duck, geese, fish, and even ostriches quickly multiplied within [Real Space].

Jiang Yan lived in the largest and most luxurious mansion built for her by the team.

However, day-to-day she merely treated it as a temporary resting place.

Once home, she would mentally shift herself back to her private space.

In her Space, the Spiritual Spring, Apple Cabin, all animals, and even her reindeer were kept away from [Real Space].

This place was more like her own independent realm.

Time flew by.

Soon, another New Year arrived.

Li Haoyang accompanied Jiang Yan to inspect the newly planted wheat fields and posed his question, "Sister Yan, have you considered adding more people to our paradise?"

Nowadays, in [Real Space], everyone was living abundant lives, even more leisurely than before the apocalypse.

Outside [Real Space], though the natural disasters had finally ended, people were still confined to underground bases, surviving mundane day-to-day lives.

"I’ve thought about it. But it’s not permitted here." Jiang Yan pointed to the sky, "The space is limited here—it can only accommodate 200 people."

From the leftover treasure-hunting team, there were 198 people, leaving just 2 spots.

One slot was given to Mo Shiyao’s fiancé Qin Zepeng, while she kept the other one in reserve.

Qin Zepeng had also drunk a small amount of Spiritual Spring Water.

However, like Mo Jingsheng, he was someone who wanted to join Jiang Yan’s realm but had to carry the heavy burden of familial responsibilities.

In truth, Jiang Yan didn’t want to add more people.

She just wanted to maintain her current free and peaceful lifestyle.

The more people, the more trouble.

She didn’t harbor much ambition or aspiration.

On New Year’s Eve, after finishing the reunion lunch with everyone, Jiang Yan carried a glass of red wine and headed alone to the terrace.

Su Dai and Sun Jingtao came out, "Jiang Yan, tomorrow is the New Year. Do you have any wishes?"

Jiang Yan raised her glass towards the bright moon, "May all wishes come true. Peace and ease in the coming year."

"What about you?" Jiang Yan asked with a gentle smile, glancing at Su Dai’s belly.

Before the apocalypse, Su Dai had suffered a miscarriage, and due to certain reasons, it was difficult for her to carry a pregnancy.

The couple had already resigned themselves to a life without children, which was why they adopted Zhou Haoyue’s sibling and Zhao Xiaofei.

Unexpectedly, after living in this paradise for a long time, Su Dai had conceived once again.

Jiang Yan recalled the pink children’s room she’d seen in Anming—a vision that never came to pass—and genuinely felt happy for them.

"I hope the baby will be born safely." Su Dai gently rubbed her belly, looked at her husband, and said softly.

Jiang Yan smiled, "It will be."

"Jiang Yan, I have a small New Year’s wish." Su Dai’s voice had barely fallen when two commanding figures stepped forward.

It was Ye Qing and Mo Jingsheng.

Behind them were Mo Shiyao, Kong Wu, and Li Haoyang, along with others from the team.

Su Dai froze, "Leader Mo, why are you here?"

Mo Jingsheng smiled at Jiang Yan and got straight to the point:

"The Mars colonization plan has officially entered its second phase. The base over there has been preliminarily built, and in gratitude for your contributions to the country, the top brass decided to name the base after your hometown.

From now on, Mars will become humanity’s second home. When you visit the Anming base, seeing that name might give you a sense of belonging.

Moreover, the next trip to Mars for inspection—headquarters wants to invite you to join. Jiang Yan, how do you like this New Year’s gift?"

Jiang Yan didn’t answer immediately but swirled the red wine in her glass, appearing thoughtful.

A gust of cool wind swept through, and Jiang Yan, clad in only a red evening gown, shivered slightly.

Noticing this, Ye Qing swiftly removed his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

Mo Jingsheng’s brows furrowed subtly but quickly shifted the subject, "I heard you mentioning New Year’s wishes just now. What were they?"

Su Dai once again touched her belly, glanced at Jiang Yan, and hesitantly said, "I hope... Jiang Yan can be my child’s godmother."

"Godmother?" Jiang Yan froze, then broke into laughter, "Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingsheng steeled himself and said bluntly, "In that case, I’ll apply to be the godfather."

Su Dai: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Ye Qing blushed and stepped forward, "I’d also like to apply to be the godfather."

Su Dai beamed with joy but quickly regained her composure, "Jiang Yan, why don’t you accept them all?"

Jiang Yan: "..."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Everyone glanced back and forth between Jiang Yan, Ye Qing, and Mo Jingsheng.

Mo Jingsheng cleared his throat and deflected again, "Jiang Yan, how do you feel about naming the base after your hometown? Is it suitable?"

Several servers approached, holding trays of red wine and champagne.

These wines and champagnes were purchased by Jiang Yan during her pre-apocalypse visit to the Nation of Gaul Rooster, each bottle worth a fortune.

Jiang Yan handed Su Dai and the kids champagne while choosing another glass of red wine for herself.

The rest of the group each took a drink as well.

Mo Jingsheng turned to Jiang Yan, "You still haven’t answered me."

Jiang Yan glanced at him, swept her gaze around at everyone, raised the crystal glass to take a sip, and said, "Your words reminded me of something."

"What is it?" Everyone turned to look at her.

Jiang Yan placed the wine glass back on the server’s tray, gently stroked Hua Bao—the ball of fur curled up in her lap—and smiled, her crimson lips curving:

"Home is where the heart finds peace." (The End)
