Chapter 52: We Will Change the Fate of Death Together!

I will die in September of this year.

Upon learning her own time of death, Gu Man felt a mixture of emotions.

“I won’t let you die.”

“If our fate can be changed, then yours definitely can too!”

“Wait a moment, I’ll send you a few things.”

For the first time ever, Song Lüfeng was flustered.

He had always been someone who remained calm, even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

Even when facing the Beast Emperor, he had stayed absolutely composed.

Even during the most difficult times for the base, when he was told that the supply of nutrient solutions wouldn’t last another three days,

He may have felt despair, but never panic.

But this time was different.

He had just learned the exact time of the Savior’s death.

The Savior must not die.

She absolutely must not!

Her existence was more than just being their Savior—she was the only light in this desperate apocalypse!

Gu Man was momentarily speechless.

“Why is he more nervous than I am? Shouldn’t I be the one panicking?”

But, she had to admit, it felt pretty nice having someone so concerned for her life.

As for her death…

Death by gunshot in September?

Most likely an assassination.

Who would hate her the most at that time?

The ones in the Gu family were the prime suspects.

Being thrown from high above and crashing to the ground—not many people could endure that.

If they had never experienced wealth, it might not be so bad.

But having lived in luxury and then being cast down again—some would go insane.

But who exactly was it?

Gu Mingren? Lin Miaolu? Gu Xiaoya? Tian Meixiang?

All of them were possible.

However.

The old her might have really died.

The current her wouldn’t.

Song Lüfeng was panicking because he cared too much.

He must have forgotten about sending her the mimic robot.

And besides, she didn’t think she would die so easily now.

She was just about to reassure him.

Her phone lit up.

Before her, a shimmering bracelet appeared.

The bracelet radiated with the aura of energy crystals—it was unmistakable.

It was a crystal-core bracelet.

Next, a dazzling dress embedded with shining crystal cores materialized.

It was stunning beyond words.

Absolutely breathtaking.

It was every girl’s dream.

But wearing something this extravagant outside… wouldn’t that be asking to get robbed?

Then, a sleek silver, Gundam-like nuclear-powered mech appeared.

But this mech—

Gu Man stared at the towering 2.5-meter-high silver mech, completely speechless.

Did Song Lüfeng even know what he was doing?

Why on earth was he sending her this thing?

Had he completely lost his mind?!

“The bracelet is embedded with three Beast King crystal cores, each capable of blocking an attack—except for a nuclear strike—three times.”

“The dress, made from compressed level-six crystal cores, might not be as powerful as the necklace, but it provides full-body protection, keeping you completely safe.”

“And lastly, this mech is linked to the mimic robot. The moment an unbeatable enemy appears, it will deploy instantly. No matter where you are, it will reach you in the blink of an eye.”

He even tried to teleport himself over.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t.

Regretfully, he had to give up.

He genuinely wanted to protect her, to ensure she was never harmed.

“If this still isn’t enough, I can—”

Teleport over an entire arsenal of heavy weapons!!!

“No, no, no! This is enough! More than enough!”

Gu Man quickly stopped Song Lüfeng.

She had absolutely no desire to attract the attention of the national authorities.

This was already perfect!

“Stop, stop, City Lord, this is already enough. This is perfect!”

“Really?”

On the other end, he still wasn’t convinced, his gaze lingering on the weapons inventory.

“Really, really, really! More real than pearls!”

Gu Man couldn’t help but laugh, but deep inside, she was incredibly moved.

This man, despite being 300 years in the future, cared about her life and death.

Not only did he care, but he took action—delivering everything he could to protect her.

She picked up the crystal-core bracelet.

It fit perfectly around her wrist, snug and seamless.

Just like the necklace around her neck.

The design was subtle yet tailored perfectly to her.

As for the crystal-core dress…

Well, somehow, he had managed to compress all the crystal cores.

Originally, they were large, irregular chunks, the size of an adult’s fist or even bigger.

Now, they were neatly arranged, embedded into a special material.

Not only did it shimmer with iridescent light, but it was also dazzling beyond belief.

Should she try it on?

Honestly, who could resist such a dress?

So, as she changed into it, she continued analyzing things for Song Lüfeng.

“First of all, I have the mimic robot you sent me. It’s incredibly powerful—even mortar shells and bombs won’t break through its defense.”

“Second, my strength, reflexes, and senses are far beyond those of an average person. What I mean is, it’s only July now. There are still two months before September. I might become even stronger.”

“Also, with everything you just sent, I doubt anyone would dare use a nuclear bomb against me on our own soil, right?”

Song Lüfeng calmed down a little.

He didn’t speak.

Because he had already thought of all these things.

But it still wasn’t enough.

As long as that record existed, he couldn’t stop feeling terrified, restless.

Because he was afraid.

He couldn’t gamble.

Not even on the slightest chance of danger…

Sensing his silence,

“Song Lüfeng, I’m not a fragile girl who crumbles under hardship.”

“I have my own resilience and strength.”

Her voice was soft, yet firm.

“Someone who can become your Savior—how could I possibly die so easily?”

The unwavering confidence in her voice, the absolute certainty in her control over fate,

It all transmitted to Song Lüfeng.

His heart finally settled.

That’s right.

His Savior was an exceptionally strong woman.

She had once pulled him out of despair and helped him change the outcome of the apocalypse.

And she was still doing the same now.

So she would definitely survive this.

“Then let’s—change this fate!”

“Alright.”

As they continued talking, Gu Man shared her current situation with the man 300 years in the future.

That man was constantly facing life-and-death crises.

Every day, he was burdened with countless troubles.

The moment he opened his eyes, he had to think about survival.

She never wanted to burden him with her own problems.

At least before, she had never confided in anyone.

But somehow…

With Song Lüfeng, it felt like they had known each other for an eternity.

Long enough that it felt natural and effortless to open up to him.

He listened to everything without immediately cursing the Gu family.

Nor did he sigh over her misfortunes.

As he listened, Gu Man’s presence became even more vivid in his mind.

Gu Man, too, appreciated this about him.

If he had immediately sympathized with her or tried to comfort her, she would have hated it.

This was better.

Much better.

“I’ll take a picture and show you—wearing this dress, I’m the most dazzling girl.”

Gu Man looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in the crystal-core gown.

She was completely mesmerized.

It was gorgeous.

But the sheer radiance—anyone who saw it would be blinded.

She snapped a picture.

Not of her face, just of the dress.

And sent it over.

On the other side, there was silence.

The screen seemed frozen.

“City Lord Song? Did you disconnect?”

She called out a few times, but there was no response.

Oh well, time to get back to work.

“I’ll head to the warehouse later and send over meat, grains, water, and vegetables. Do you need more seawater? I can send some later.”

The winter clothes would take nine days to be ready.

Gu Man couldn’t help but consider buying more clothes to send over.

Meanwhile, on the other end, there was still no response.

Looks like he really did disconnect.
