An Zhe quietly looked at Xi Bei’s face and knew it was an emotion he could never understand. He lowered his head and saw the yellowed pages of the monthly magazine, An Ze’s voice and smile once again resurfacing before his eyes.

His eyes were blurry. Just a few hours ago, he was still disregarding the efforts of humans to maintain their will. He thought that he wouldn’t dislike it if Lu Feng became a heterogeneous species. However, this idea was slightly shaken at this moment.

‘Humans are humans,’ he thought. He knew that the base had no medicine and that it was the end for humanity. However, they were truly immortal.

CHAPTER 60

“Last month, one of my… uncles was bitten by a monster outside and died. Then a few days ago, another uncle went out to look for resources. In those days, the temperature suddenly increased and there was a sandstorm. He also didn’t come back. Finally, there were the two uncles I mentioned previously.” Xi Bei’s fingers clasped the rolled-up paint on the table and he spoke slowly, “I’m left here with Grandpa but Grandpa’s illness is getting worse. Previously, he could still talk to me but his mind hasn’t been clear these days.”

“He sometimes yells in pain and sometimes he says things I don’t understand.” Xi Bei stared at Lu Feng hopefully. “Can you cure him?”

Lu Feng said, “Perhaps back at the base, we can figure out the case.”

He didn’t guarantee a cure. An Zhe looked at the base’s monthly magazine. On this page, an obituary was posted stating that a gentleman who had contributed to the monthly magazine had died of illness. His serial novel was discontinued.

In the base, at least in the outer city, few people could live to be 50 or 60 years old. People who were fortunate enough to enter old age were faced with diseases. The intensity of the artificial geomagnetic field was weaker than the original geomagnetic field. The incidence rate of genetic diseases, mainly cancer, was still high. More than half the elderly people died from this. Living on the edge of the knife for many years meant the survivors had endless stress and psychological trauma. This was also a chronic disease that couldn’t be eradicated.

“Thank you… thank you.” Xi Bei exclaimed. “My grandfather has raised me and taught me how to understand our generator. My grandfather has been repairing it. When everyone said there was no one else in the world, it was Grandpa who kept us waiting. He said there is an aurora in the sky, indicating that there are human organizations left in the world.”

Lu Feng asked, “Is he an engineer here?”

“Yes,” Xi Bei replied.

Lu Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Why do you know that the aurora represents a human organization?”
