Chapter 521 I am a husband, a father, and Gu Nan
There are obvious signs of human repair inside this cave.
With vegetation as camouflage and being a cave itself, nothing unusual could be detected without careful observation.
Even the entrance to the cave was disguised with vines, making it even harder for people to spot.
A basement was dug out underground, where many people were imprisoned.
You could hear groans coming from the basement every now and then, because the people being held down there were more or less injured.
Moreover, the basement smelled terrible, the air circulation was poor, and the weather was hot. Although the basement was much cooler than outside, there was still a strong smell of feces and urine.
There was also the stench of festering wounds and a musty smell.
On the first floor of the cave, there were many weapons and various supplies.
Many people were carrying weapons and patrolling back and forth.
On the second floor of the cave, many people were studying something in front of some strange machines, but judging from their appearance, they seemed to be somewhat different from Chinese people.
This cave is located deep in the mountains, and the sounds of insects chirping and birds singing can be heard all around.
From time to time, the roars of wild beasts and the sounds of chasing prey can be heard nearby.
However, to guard against wild animal attacks, many traps were set up near the cave, making it relatively safe.
At this moment, two people came down from the second floor of the cave.
"The research is progressing very slowly."
"We've already sped up the process, since resources are limited."
"The person in the basement is still not awake?"
"You seem to care about him a lot?"
The two talked as they walked downstairs.
Passersby greeted the two respectfully.
Soon, the two had reached the basement, the place where the young man was being held in solitary confinement.
"The smell here is really disgusting."
"Then you shouldn't come down."
“But I want to see him,” the man said, his eyes gleaming with hatred.
Thinking back to three years ago, she almost died at the hands of this man.
The thought of the fear the unconscious man lying on the ground in front of him had instilled in him made him unwilling to let the man die so easily.
He wanted the man in front of him to experience the same fear he had felt when he was controlled by death!
The man suddenly clutched his left shoulder.
That wound, even though it's been three years and should have healed by now, still causes a faint ache when I see this man.
"Damn it! But he can't die. Let me know when he wakes up!" The man glared fiercely at the man lying motionless on the ground, then turned and left.
After the man who had spoken left, the other one remained standing.
Looking at the man's face on the ground, he glared at him maliciously.
He recalled that when he was trading in Jinshi, he almost got stuck there.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly; otherwise, I would have been in danger while trading radioactive materials in Jinshi.
The two were talking, but not in Chinese.
He whispered a few words to the person guarding the corner, and then the man left the basement.
The smell in the basement is absolutely awful.
After the two left, the basement returned to silence.
The man lying on the ground unconsciously twitched his fingers.
He had been unconscious for several days and had no strength left in his body.
But just now, he seemed to have had a very long and dark dream.
In his dream, he was locked in a dark and damp place, surrounded by darkness, with not a single ray of light in sight.
He walked for a very long time, but he could not reach the edge of darkness.
In his dream, he couldn't remember who he was, why he was there, or where he was going.
He was embraced only by endless darkness.
He could hear some people whispering in his ear, but he couldn't make out their voices.
I don't want to hear it clearly.
Like a wandering ghost, he wandered aimlessly.
until……
"Dong dong!"
"Dong dong!"
A very clear heartbeat sounded.
The man touched his chest; he knew the sound wasn't his own.
Who would that be?
"Gu Nan."
"Gu Nan!"
"Dong dong!"
He felt as if someone was calling his name.
Is my name Gu Nan? Gu Nan is my name, right?
Is that thumping sound the sound of someone's heartbeat?
Why do you keep looking at that guy named Gu Nan?
"He's so handsome!"
Do you hate me?
"I don't dislike it, I like it very much!"
"That's enough, that's enough! I can't finish all of this!"
You eat first, and if you can't finish it, I'll eat it!
"If I marry you, will you marry me?"
"marry!"
"Gu Nan, you're going to be a father."
"Niannian, thank you for appearing in my life!"
"Gu Nan, Gu Nan! Gu Nan?"
"Knock knock. Knock knock!"
Niannian, Su Niannian.
Gu Nan, I am Gu Nan.
My baby's heartbeat.
Scenes of Su Niannian and himself flashed before Gu Nan's eyes, and he heard Su Niannian calling his name again and again.
And there was the sound of a vibrant heartbeat.
That was the person he loved most, his beloved wife and child.
I am Gu Nan, Su Niannian's husband, and the father of her unborn child.
As darkness faded, Gu Nan slowly opened his eyes.
My eyelids are very heavy, and my body is very stiff.
It's difficult to even move an inch.
Using his chin to press against the ground, Gu Nan forced himself to lift his head.
It was dark all around, but not the kind of darkness one feels when sleeping.
Above one corner of the wall, there was still a dim light bulb.
The unpleasant smell from all around immediately filled Gu Nan's nostrils.
It was this unpleasant smell that sobered Gu Nan up quite a bit.
He had been unconscious for so long that his whole body was extremely stiff.
After a few minutes, Gu Nan regained his senses and became more alert.
He drew some spiritual spring water from the spiritual spring space and put it into his mouth.
She swallowed it in small sips.
Pain, a tearing pain in my throat.
But Gu Nan continued to swallow the spiritual spring water.
After two sips, the spring water slid down my throat and the pain subsided.
The sweet taste slowly healed Gu Nan's body.
After maintaining this prone position for a few minutes, Gu Nan felt some of his strength returning.
I tried to move my body, but I still felt waves of sharp pain in my limbs.
He reached out and touched a painful spot.
There was a piece of metal stuck in there, I don't know what it was from, but the wound was sticky because of the infection.
Gu Nan turned over, changing from a prone position to a supine position.
Only then did I realize that my back was also in pain, a sharp, piercing pain washing over me.
This made Gu Nan tremble involuntarily.
Gu Nan softened his movements, trying to ease the pain.
He drew out some spiritual spring water and used it to wash his wounds.
His mind was filled with Su Niannian's thoughts. If it weren't for Su Niannian's calls, Gu Nan probably wouldn't have woken up yet.
