The Female Supporting Character in Quick Transmigration is Making a Comeback

Chapter 389 The Female Supporting Character in the Apocalypse Clings to the Nation's Thigh (54)

After the meal, Chen Yu and Shan Yaojia rushed to the research lab.

Li Xian'er took Hao Hao for a stroll around the base, admiring the land that had transformed from wasteland to prosperity, her heart filled with love for life.

The once barren land has now been completely transformed.

The once overgrown and desolate land has been transformed into farmland, planted with all sorts of crops.

The tender green seedlings swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling of their joy at being born.

That vibrant scene was incredibly comforting, and I was completely captivated by its vitality.

Since Shan Yaojia and Chen Yu devoted themselves to the great research cause of the research institute, time has passed by in the blink of an eye.

Before we knew it, a whole month had passed.

During this month, the two of them spun like tireless tops, throwing themselves wholeheartedly into their work, without even stepping out of the research institute's doors.

Li Xian'er had visited the research institute several times, and each time she saw them working tirelessly. Piles of complex data were stacked up in front of them like small mountains, making Li Xian'er's eyes dizzy.

In this tense atmosphere, she didn't even have a chance to have a proper conversation with Shining Armor.

Seeing everyone so wholeheartedly dedicated to the future of all mankind, Li Xian'er felt full of understanding and respect. How could she bear to disturb them?

She wisely chose to stay home quietly and offer them her support.

Days passed by, and a week slipped away unnoticed.

On this day, sunlight streamed through the window into the cozy study, bathing the entire room in a golden glow.

Li Xian'er was patiently guiding Hao Hao in doing his homework.

The base has developed very rapidly, with various facilities becoming more and more complete, and even the primary school has been successfully opened.

Hao Hao was also very lucky to become a first-grade elementary school student.

Li Xian'er was teaching Hao Hao to read pinyin carefully. The child's tender voice echoed in the room, full of longing and hope for the future.

Suddenly, with a "click," the door to the house was opened by a key.

Li Xian'er subconsciously stood up and looked towards the door.

Two people stood outside the door: Shining Armor and Chen Yu! They looked extremely haggard, their brows tightly furrowed, as if they were carrying a heavy burden.

Chen Yu, in particular, looked much more serious and solemn than when she wore the Shining Armor, as if something important was weighing on her mind.

Li Xian'er looked at Shan Yaojia with a questioning gaze: "What's wrong with Mom?"

Shining Armor shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with helplessness and exhaustion, and slowly said, "The vaccine research during this period has been truly exhausting! We have put in so much effort, but we just can't seem to break through this last crucial step. No matter how we try, the result is always just a little bit off."

His voice carried a hint of frustration, making him doubt his previous knowledge.

"Mom, are you alright?" Li Xian'er hurriedly stepped forward, gently put her arm around Chen Yu's shoulder, and quietly walked into the house.

Chen Yu turned around and hugged Li Xian'er tightly. Tears blurred her vision, and she choked out, "Xian'er, am I really so useless? I've studied biological research for so many years and worked day and night for a year, but I can't even make a zombie vaccine. I'm such a failure. What will happen to the people of Yan?" Her voice was filled with despair and self-blame.

Li Xian'er gently patted her back, trying to comfort her: "Don't be like this, Mom. Research is never easy to succeed at. You've already done your best."

However, Chen Yu seemed unable to listen to any words of comfort, and kept repeating things like, "If only my senior brother and mentor were here."

Hearing this, Li Xian'er couldn't help but speak up, "Mom, this isn't your fault. Scientific research isn't something that can be accomplished overnight; it takes time and patience. We will definitely find a solution!"

"Xian'er, you really don't understand!" Chen Yu sighed softly, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and worry. "Look at our liberation base now. The people are doing alright, at least they can barely solve the problem of food and clothing. But think about the people in other places. What kind of misery are they living in? If we don't find a way to get rid of these zombies as soon as possible, how can society return to its former peace?"

Chen Yu's voice gradually lowered, and her eyes filled with tears. She slowly lowered her head, buried her face in the table, and burst into tears.

It was as if only through this cathartic weeping could all the complex and heavy emotions in my heart be released.

Li Xian'er gently tugged at Chen Yu's sleeve, her eyes filled with worry and doubt, and asked cautiously, "Mom, do you mean... if we can find your senior brother and mentor, will there be a way to solve these troublesome problems?"

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Chen Yu slowly sat up.

She raised her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Xian'er, you should know that my senior brother and mentor are top experts! They led the research on a vaccine for a certain virus before. Before the apocalypse, almost all the major research projects in the country were completed by them."

"Their abilities are undeniable! So I think if we can find them, the chances of successfully solving these problems will definitely be much greater!"

Li Xian'er frowned, her face full of doubt, and asked, "Then where are they now? There's no reason why such important people wouldn't be here."

Chen Yu sighed deeply and slowly said, "Them..." and then began to tell her story.

Before the apocalypse, Chen Yu's senior brother and mentor received a sincere invitation from a foreign organization.

This organization is also quite influential internationally. Together, they launched a highly challenging research project—a mysterious drug that can prolong the growth of human cells.

If this project succeeds, it will mean that extending human lifespan will no longer be a distant dream.

For this project, Chen Yu's senior and mentor embarked on a journey to a foreign land with great enthusiasm.

Fate seems to always like to play tricks on people; less than two months after they left the country, the end times came without warning.

In the immediate aftermath of the apocalypse, the communication system wasn't completely paralyzed, and they could still contact each other from time to time. Each call brought Chen Yu a sense of reassurance. However, this didn't last long; as the apocalypse intensified, the communication system was completely cut off.

Since then, there has been no further news of them.

Chen Yu often gazed at the starry sky late at night, silently praying that his senior brother and mentor would be safe and sound.

However, she also knew in her heart that in this world full of danger and unknowns, who could say for sure whether they would live or die?
