618 Donst forget, we have a steel airships! (2/2)

Yao Yao also nodded with agreement and looked at Yao Yao in disbelief.

”That's enough! I'm a scientist at least! Don't look at me like that - I'm older than all of you guys added together! And I'm not the type that slept for twenty years!” Lin Lin, covered in a red hue, spoke while tossing about her tiny fists.

Everyone began to laugh. Sun Xiaorou, who was sitting beside Lin Lin, gently caressed her head. ”For a girl, being old isn't something to brag about.”

Lin Lin's mouth pouted while she relished Sun Xiaorou's caress. She didn't say anything else.

Sun Jiao took a swig of the coke and said nonchalantly, ”The world beyond the stars seems to be far away.”

”Yes… it's hard to imagine,” Yao Yao agreed in a meager voice.

”Compared to distances in space, distances in time is even more fascinating… I don't even know if I'll be able to see the final showdown in a hundred years,” Jiang Chen joked.

”That might not be true.” Lin Lin's ears wiggled and she raised her head. ”There are plenty of ways to increase your lifespan…”

She turned her head out of shyness and said with textbook tsundere, ”Since… if you die too early, I… I'll get bored.”

The life of digitalized humans was much longer than humans. The more sophisticated the modifications, the longer the lifespan.

Jiang Chen took a moment to process that before he chuckled.

”Why-why are you laughing?!” Lin Lin was slightly angry.

”Lin Lin is a very honest girl,” Xiaorou said with a smile. Her eyes radiated an intrigued light.

”Yao Yao will also be lonely!” Yao Yao raised her hand with courage without backing down.

Because of her delayed growth, Yao Yao, who was supposed to be undergoing puberty, hadn't grown at all. Based on what Lin Lin said, with her current growth speed, she would still be a little loli in ten years.

In theory, her life would also be long.

Sun Jiao sighed and said with her usual straightforwardness, ”Then everyone will live forever together.”

”Sister, from a different perspective, eternal life is also a curse.” Xiaorou's words had a more profound meaning.

”Is that so? Living eternally is considered a curse?” Sun Jiao said without feeling bothered.

”But to be with someone interesting, even for an eternity, it wouldn't be boring. Right?” Xiaorou peeked at Jiang Chen before letting out a sigh.

Eternal life…

For people with power, it was indeed attractive.

Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the secret about eternal life from Bo Yu at the Dusk Church. He suddenly looked at Sun Jiao and asked, ”Sun Jiao, where is your home… Fallout Shelter 071?”

”Fallout Shelter 071? Oh, well... it should be near Hucheng. Why?” Sun Jiao chewed while tilting her head to think.

”I made up my mind!” Jiang Chen suddenly stood up. ”The destination we'll conquer will be Hucheng!”

Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen peculiarly as she swallowed down her food.

”Are you sure? Hucheng is 500 kilometers from here!”

The path was filled with zombies, mutants, raiders, mutated humans, and cannibals… Powerful lone travelers or a merchant fleet protected by mercenaries might purposely traverse such a long distance while barely managing to survive, but in order for a large unit like an army to travel such a long distance, it created an immense logistical pressure.

But Jiang Chen responded with a smile.

”Don't forget, we have a steel airship!”
