Global End, I Awaken the Unique Rank Speedrun Dungeon
Chapter 30 Before Departure
After the Injustice Balance instance ended, the four followed Zhuang Yu out of the tunnel.
The blinding sunlight made it difficult for them to open their eyes; the scorching sun baked the earth, and the temperature was hotter than usual in summer.
Due to climate change caused by the end of the universe, there will be less and less land suitable for human habitation in a few years.
Temperatures in the equatorial region exceed 80 degrees Celsius, and the permafrost in the North and South Poles expands outward by tens of thousands of square kilometers, making it impossible for ordinary people to survive.
The ordinary survivors are all hiding in scattered survivor cities, barely surviving within protective shields.
Upon seeing the personnel sent by the military camp to meet him, Zhuang Yu said to the four people behind him, "You go back with the main force to report. I'll come back later."
They watched as Jiang He and the other three followed the troops to the command center building.
Zhuang Yu first went back to her parents' house, said a brief goodbye, and said that she had something to do and had to go out for a while.
The two elders were reluctant to part, but they didn't say anything to ask them to stay.
They understood that he carried the hopes of countless people on his shoulders, and they couldn't be too selfish; many more people were waiting for their child to save them.
Zhuang Xiang patted Zhuang Yu on the shoulder: "Son, well done! I'm so proud of you!"
"Your dad and I can't be of much help. Take good care of yourself while you're out there, and safety should be your top priority."
Chen Huilan had a lot to say, but after hesitating for a long time, she only told Zhuang Yu to take good care of himself.
"Don't worry, I should be back in no more than two months. My sister and the others aren't here, so please tell them for me."
Separated from parents.
Zhuang Yu went to the office and found Cheng Qingxue.
At this moment, Cheng Qingxue was sitting upright in a chair, carefully reviewing the information of the new recruits who had joined the military camp.
Hearing the noise, she looked up at the gate and her eyes lit up when she saw who it was.
"Sir!"
She hurriedly stood up, her neatly tied ponytail swaying. Her bright eyes behind her large black round-framed glasses seemed to be looking directly at Zhuang Yu, but in reality, they were slightly turned away, as if afraid of making eye contact with him.
His delicate facial features looked very serious, and his eyes were bright and piercing, but he made a mistake and his newly learned military salute was slightly off-center.
This made it seem rather ridiculous to Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu smiled slightly at his stiff posture: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a jinx. Also, you don't need to be so formal, just call me by my name in private."
Cheng Qingxue nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Zhuang Yu walked up to her and helped her correct her military posture: "Clench your palms a little tighter, don't point them at your cheekbones, point them at your temples."
Her right hand, which was about to give a salute, froze. Warmth emanated from her palm and the back of her hand, and a blush quickly crept onto her fair cheeks.
"If you're not used to it, it's okay not to do it. We won't be staying here for long anyway."
Before Cheng Qingxue could understand the meaning of those words, she adjusted the position of her palm to dissipate the burning sensation and force.
But the feeling of his hand as he lay dying was etched into my mind, impossible to forget.
"Get ready, we're going to see the commander."
"Ah, yes!"
Upon arriving at the command center, Zhuang Yu pushed open the door and led Cheng Qingxue inside.
Cao Hongwu had just learned about the Injustice Balance instance from Jiang He and the other three when he saw Zhuang Yu and said with a smile, "Zhuang Yu is here. Come on, sit here."
After speaking, he pointed to the seat next to him.
Zhuang Yu calmly sat down on the chair next to Cao Hongwu, making the eyes of those around him bulge.
Several senior leaders, however, did not find anything wrong with it at all.
Cao Hongwu asked eagerly, "Xiao Jiang and the other three told everyone about what happened in the Unjust Balance instance. What did you think?"
Previously, they had treated Zhuang Yu with some respect, but never with the same enthusiasm as they were now.
The reason for such a drastic change is that they learned about this dungeon experience from Jiang He and the other three.
The last remaining doubts about Zhuang Yu vanished as the opponent's terrifying strength was confirmed.
Today, Zhuang Yu has truly become a core figure in the Jiang Province military camp.
Cao Hongwu even harbored the idea of grooming him to be the next leader.
"Thank you for your concern, Chief. This dungeon run was made much easier thanks to Jiang He, Cheng Hao, Li Tongtong, and Chen Shushu. Without them, the dungeon run wouldn't have been completed so easily."
The three people other than Cheng Hao felt their faces burning; they knew their own limitations.
Their biggest contribution was probably getting Zhuang Yu a group of five, which met the minimum number of participants required to join the instance.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to the commander. Without him, we would have died in there long ago."
Zhuang Yu glanced at Cheng Hao with amusement: "Alright, your contributions are genuine, sir. I think all four of you deserve to be promoted to major."
Cao Hongwu naturally had no objections, jokingly saying, "If Colonel Zhuang asks, we must grant his request."
Zhuang Yu added, "The major title is a reward from the military camp, and I will personally give each of you 200 Source Crystals."
The four men were taken aback for a moment, then immediately saluted: "Thank you, sir!"
The awards for the four individuals were then presented.
Zhuang Yu took out the secondary planting soil cultivation technology from his backpack.
In theory, it is impossible for Awakening-level dungeons to drop Level 2 rewards.
The scales of injustice, with a 1000x reward multiplier, only allowed Zhuang Yu to obtain a few level-two rewards thanks to 99.7% of his personal contributions.
Compared to the blue particles suspending the book in the first-level technology, the second-level technology presents it as a purple Rubik's Cube.
"Sir, this is the only Level 2 technology I obtained from the Scales of Injustice: Level 2 planting soil cultivation technology."
"Using source crystals as nutrients greatly accelerates crop growth and yield."
Cao Hongwu said to the deputy commander: "Hand this technology over to the researchers and get it installed as soon as possible."
The three first-level technologies have been almost fully developed, and the technicians have been modifying the power equipment. Now the air conditioners and lights in the command center have been restored to use.
Farmland was dug out outside the military camp, seeds were sown, and anti-evil serum is under development with a bright future.
Zhuang Yu has now obtained Level 2 technology, and everything seems wonderful and thriving.
"Sir, I will be away for a while. During the next month or two, the military camp will proceed according to the previously planned steps."
Cao Hongwu paused, recalling Zhuang Yu's words at the meeting a few days ago: "You're going to find another unique-level sequence user?"
"That's right, I saw that she's currently in Shanghai." Zhuang Yu said without hesitation, "Her abilities are crucial to China, so to avoid any unforeseen complications, I plan to set off soon."
"I was thinking of letting you rest for a few more days. In that case, take care on your journey!"
Cao Hongwu: "Just tell us if you need anything. The military will do its utmost to help!"
Zhuang Yu's lips curled slightly.
"There is indeed something I would like to trouble you with, sir."
Zhuang Yu's gaze fell on Cheng Qingxue, who was already nervous, and her face immediately straightened when he looked at her.
"This is Cheng Qingxue, the owner of the first-level sequence 'Dreamland'. She is my friend, and I hope she can study under Elder Cao for a while."
Cao Hongwu glanced at Zhuang Yu and Cheng Qingxue: "No problem."
Zhuang Yu intends to build a city for survivors in the future, but he himself cannot be involved in the city's construction.
A capable assistant is needed, and Cheng Qingxue is a good candidate.
Perhaps she can become an asset to him in the future.
Therefore, it is necessary to let them learn about governance over a large area and how to effectively handle various matters.
As the commander of the military camp, Cao Hongwu quickly stabilized the camp and managed it in an orderly manner after the apocalypse, and Zhuang Yu had a flawless impression of his character.
He is the most suitable person to teach Cheng Qingxue.
