Reborn in the Post-Apocalyptic World: Building Infrastructure

The two steel plates used for fixation had already been wiped clean with disinfectant; it was evident that Sheng Hongye also had some medical knowledge.

Truly worthy of being the Chairman of Tianfu Hospital!

Su Ling thought to herself and took the steel plates to help stabilize the young man. After finishing everything, she had already broken a sweat. At that moment, a handkerchief made of gauze was handed to her.

Seeing Sheng Hongye's clearly defined hand, Su Ling felt a warm feeling in her heart and gave him a slight smile.

"Thank you."

That smile was as bright as the sun, instantly dispelling the gloom from her face. Her black-and-white eyes resembled two crescent moons, radiating a dazzling brilliance, which inexplicably improved Sheng Hongye's mood.

"You're welcome. Before, there were nurses in the hospital, but now it's difficult for you."

Su Ling shrugged nonchalantly. "This is already quite good. At least we can still find medical supplies, which is much better than our predecessors at the frontline."

Sheng Hongye raised an eyebrow. "You seem very optimistic?"

On this day and night, he took a closer look at Su Ling for the first time.

She had a tall figure and a beautiful appearance, with a pair of pretty almond-shaped eyes. When she wasn't smiling, she seemed a bit severe, but when she smiled, it was as if she could melt everything, with a strong infectious power.

Her eyelashes were long and dense, and beneath her petite and straight nose, her lips were tender like flower petals. When she spoke, she had a distinct and clear voice that was characteristic of doctors. When facing Kailuan, her tone softened, making it very pleasant to listen to. The various changes she displayed piqued Sheng Hongye's curiosity, making him want to delve deeper.

Su Ling didn't avoid Sheng Hongye's gaze. She was used to facing all kinds of looks every day, both in her appearance and her work; she was outstanding.

She lightly smiled and said, "Sorrow won't solve problems. If you want to survive, you have to face everything that might happen with composure. If it is indeed the end of the world, then this is only the beginning."

Sheng Hongye admired her intelligence. Yes, this was only the beginning.

It wouldn't be long before even greater challenges would come.

Water, electricity, food, and the ever-present zombies – everything would be unprecedented challenges.

Even he understood that the apocalypse was not a time to play the hero. Only through teamwork could they survive better, and Su Ling, who understood medical skills, was undoubtedly an excellent choice.

He squinted his eyes, his gaze shimmering as he looked at Su Ling, his deep voice carrying a peculiar penetrating power in the empty space.

"Do you, Miss Su, wish to travel with us?" Sheng Hongye asked with a slight smile, looking charming.

"If Mr. Sheng needs me, I won't refuse," Su Ling replied, her voice gentle.

Sheng Hongye nodded and said in a soft tone, "As long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone lay a finger on you."

Looking into his deep eyes, Su Ling's heart skipped a beat. If it weren't for the circumstances, she might have mistaken Sheng Hongye's words for a confession. Even though she knew he didn't mean anything more than protection, she couldn't help but feel touched.

She whispered a thank-you to him.

Until she finds her benefactor, following Sheng Hongye seems like the best option for now. As for what the future holds, no one can predict, so they can only take it step by step.

Then, Gu Kai Xuan's young voice chimed in with innocence, "Uncle, we are real men, and we must keep our promises!"

Su Ling chuckled at the child's words. Just as she was about to correct him, they heard the sound of an engine, and a white Land Rover jumped over the cracks in the building and raced towards the hospital.

With a screeching brake sound, the Land Rover stopped next to the Passat.

Su Ling couldn't help but feel excited. A white Land Rover—could it be her benefactor's car?

At that moment, the car door opened, and a well-built man with a buzz cut jumped out of the car, followed by a young and beautiful woman.

Su Ling felt a little disappointed for a moment, but then the woman revealed herself in full.

She looked about twenty-three or twenty-four, with delicate features and long black hair flowing over her shoulders. She wore a deep purple dress that exuded a feminine charm.

If not for the dust and debris everywhere, Su Ling would have thought she was out for a leisurely stroll in the mountains.

As she wondered, Sheng Hongye opened the window, stepped out with his extraordinarily long legs, and jumped down.

Lying on the bed, Gu Kai Xuan suddenly furrowed his lightly-colored eyebrows and muttered, "It's Auntie Li Xueying and Uncle Guan Shan. Why are they here?"

"Do you know them?" Su Ling turned back to ask.

Gu Kai Xuan nodded and pointed to the woman, saying, "She's called Li Xueying, the younger sister of Uncle Sheng's good friend. She often pesters Uncle Sheng. The other one is Uncle Sheng's bodyguard, Guan Shan."

Su Ling felt a little surprised. It seemed that they were going to have two more companions. She wondered if it was a good thing or not.

However, with their phones all out of service, how did they know Sheng Hongye was here? Does Sheng Hongye have another means of communication?

As she pondered, Guan Shan had already walked up to Sheng Hongye. He slightly bowed his body and said with a guilty face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng. The old lady, she..."

Sheng Hongye patted his shoulder firmly and said heavily, "I already know. You've all worked hard."

Li Xueying had already rushed into Sheng Hongye's arms, sobbing, "Brother Hongye, when I arrived, Auntie was already... already... sob... What happened, what's going on?"

Sheng Hongye stood still, his back straight, and his deep eyes turning red.

After a while, he lightly patted Li Xueying's back and then pushed her away gently.

"How's the situation in Lizhou?" he asked.

Guan Shan's face turned ashen as he replied, "There are hordes of zombies, and we haven't seen any living people along the way. Several of our brothers sacrificed themselves to protect the old lady and Miss Li."

Sheng Hongye couldn't help but clench his fist, and the knuckles made a crisp cracking sound in the air.

Su Ling couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

Lizhou had actually fallen? In her previous life, she remembered many people going to Lizhou, saying there was a refuge there.

Why was there such a big change after her rebirth? What about her benefactor...

Thinking of the tall figure who had saved her, Su Ling couldn't help but bite her lip hard. Then she vigorously shook her head. No, her benefactor's skills were not inferior to Sheng Hongye's. He must have found a way to evade the crisis.

Even if her rebirth had caused the butterfly effect, it couldn't possibly lead to such a major deviation in just one day. There must be some other reason, or maybe this man surnamed Guan was lying.

Or perhaps he simply didn't want Sheng Hongye to go...

Su Ling couldn't help but look at Guan Shan and noticed his eyes drooping slightly, as if something had flashed through them. But before she could observe further, Guan Shan had already lowered his head.
