Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

"Wen Yan?" Zhou Chong looked at her with some surprise. "You know Wen Yan?"

Upon closer inspection, one could indeed see a resemblance between Wen Nuan's face and Wen Yan's.

A thought crossed his mind, and a hint of hesitation and sorrow appeared on his face.

Seeing this expression, Wen Nuan immediately had a bad feeling.

“My brother…he…”

Wen Nuan opened her mouth, but didn't know how to continue the question.

"Not... Wen Yan's sister? But I've never heard him mention having a sister!"

Given Wen Yan's position, the military had thoroughly investigated him, but they had never discovered that he had a younger sister. Zhou Chong's eyes held a hint of doubt.

If the two did not share some similarities, he would probably have started to have doubts.

“I…” Wen Nuan didn’t know what to say.

If there are older brothers in this world, then why doesn't she exist?

Is it because she traveled from another time?

Ludwig, who was standing to the side, raised his hand and patted her tightly clenched hands on the table, explaining on her behalf.

“The two siblings were separated when they were young, and Nuannuan only recently found out that she actually had an older brother.”

"I see..." Zhou Chong nodded in understanding, then showed a reluctant expression and slowly said.

“Wen Yan… He died a year ago, at the beginning of the apocalypse, during an evacuation mission, to cover everyone…”

Although she had already guessed the result, when she actually heard it, Wen Nuan still felt a "buzz" in her head, as if a heavy hammer had hit her on the head.

nothing!

Warmth comforted her in her heart.

My brother is doing well in the main world; the brother in this world isn't real, he's not...

Warm hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and Xuanxiao, sitting to the side, keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Meditation!"

A large, well-defined hand landed on her head, slightly warm.

The clear, cool voice carried a spiritual power that awakened Wen Nuan from her panic, and calmed the restless spiritual energy.

"I'm sorry, Master..."

Wen Nuan looked up and forced a smile at Xuan Xiao.

Zhou Chong and the others opposite her remained silent, their gazes filled with pity.

The long-lost siblings, upon hearing the news again, found themselves separated by death, a truly heartbreaking situation.

Warmth steadied herself and silently called for 996 in her heart.

"Little Six, what's going on? Isn't this just a mission world? Why are there people just like those in the main world?"

As she asked the question, 996 responded in her mind.

[Host, every mission world is real.]

Wen Nuan pursed her lips, her expression somewhat unpleasant.

"Then why don't I exist in this world?"

[Host, for the sake of world stability, it is impossible for each world to have the same two people at the same time, as that would cause spacetime disorder.]

The electromechanical sound was cold and devoid of any inflection.

The moment you arrived in this world, for the sake of its stability, the world's consciousness will erase your previous existence without leaving any trace.

Since things had come to this point, there was no point in dwelling on the matter any longer. After thinking for a moment, Wen Nuan asked it one last question.

"Since the two worlds are the same, does that mean everything that happens in this world will happen in the main world in the same way?"

What she was most concerned about was whether this apocalypse would also happen in the main world.

She had witnessed firsthand the desolation of this world and the hardships people faced in their lives, and she did not want the same thing to happen in another world.

Wen Nuan originally thought she could get the answer from 996, but unexpectedly she only got four words.

No comment.

When she pressed for further answers, she only received the response that it could not answer questions about the future of the world.

With no other option, Wen Nuan turned her attention to Zhou Chong.

"What exactly is going on with this mutation? And what is the cause of this apocalypse?"

If she knew all this, wouldn't she be able to prevent the same thing from happening again when she went back?

Although 996 didn't answer, Warmth had a premonition that there was definitely some kind of connection between the two worlds.

Perhaps... what she came for this time was the future?

The question she asked wasn't a secret, and there was nothing that couldn't be said.

After recalling for a moment, Zhou Chong began to slowly explain to her.

It wasn't until several hours later that Wen Nuan learned the whole story of this mutated apocalypse.

By this time, only the afterglow remained on the horizon. The dark wilderness was a playground for mutated creatures, and also the most dangerous place.

Zhou Chong and the others had to return to the base before dark.

The two groups said goodbye at the restaurant entrance.

"Boss Wen, thank you for your material support. On behalf of everyone at the base, I extend my highest respect to you!"

He saluted with his only remaining hand, and the people who followed him saluted in return.

Wen Nuan was stunned. Although they were from two different worlds, the determination in these people's eyes had never changed.

Looking at the empty sleeve, Wen Nuan hesitated for a moment before finally raising her hand.

A surge of spiritual energy emerged from her fingertips and seeped into the empty sleeve.

The others couldn't see any fluctuations in spiritual energy, but Zhou Chong suddenly felt an itch on his severed arm, followed by a soreness and swelling, as if something was drilling out from the inside.

Before he could take a closer look, his subordinate standing next to him exclaimed in surprise.

"Commander, your, your hand..."

In just a few dozen seconds, Zhou Chong stared dumbfounded at the hand that had "grown" out of him.

"This, this, this..."

I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word.

The group looked at Wen Nuan with disbelief in their eyes.

Zhao Feng was the only one who was somewhat better among them.

He even felt a little smug seeing his old boss's surprised expression.

Hmph, he's even witnessed tribulations, this is nothing to be surprised about... well, at most it's just a little bit.

A faint smile graced her face. "Consider this my way of thanking Commander Zhou for everything he has done for humanity."

As he spoke, he took out another spatial button.

"Some of these things are things I prepared; I think you'll find them useful."

He paused, then added.

"Hopefully, humanity can achieve final victory in this mutation."

And those "familiar" people, even if they don't know her in this world, she hopes everyone is well.

Zhou Chong was still in shock when he took the spatial button and said thank you.

It wasn't until they returned to Zhao Feng's base and sat down that Zhou Chong raised his hands and squeezed them together; the real touch brought him back to his senses.

Turning to look at Zhao Feng, he murmured, "So the immortals you mentioned before... were actually real?"

"Hey, old boss, how could it be fake!" Zhao Feng rolled his eyes without any politeness. "Everyone in our entire base saw it back then."

Then he urged again with an impatient look on his face.

"Old boss, take a look! What good stuff is inside that Boss Wen gave you?"

Zhou Chong nodded and began checking the space buttons as Wen Nuan had instructed.

"This, these are..."

Zhou Chong, who had finally started to feel better, was shocked again...
