Anime Crossover: Many Children, Many Blessings; Yukino, the Wife from the Apocalypse

Page 266

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if at that moment, all the difficulties and hardships seemed insignificant.

Yoko Okino, who is always cautious, felt a sense of doubt at this moment.

What could possibly be causing her to be so cautious?

She sat quietly on the sofa, her gaze fixed on Chang Wei. After a brief moment of contemplation, she raised her head and, with unprecedented seriousness, spoke to Chang Wei, word by word:

"Chang Wei, I have a question for you, and I hope you can answer it truthfully."

Chang Wei was touched by Yoko Okino's serious attitude. He was slightly taken aback, and then solemnly replied, "Yoko, ask away. I will tell you the truth as long as I know it."

Yoko Okino took a deep breath and slowly began to speak:

What do you think of Tokyo? Could it be a place where you can settle down and make a living?

"Tokyo base?"

Chang Wei frowned slightly. He had never thought about this question in depth because he had never imagined that he would stay there for a long time.

Seeing this, Yoko Okino smiled slightly: "From your expression, I can tell that you don't see Tokyo as your long-term home. However, the end times have come, and heroes emerge in times of chaos. Think of the founding fathers of Japan in those years; didn't they all rise from humble beginnings to become pillars of the nation?"

She continued her analysis: "Although the Tokyo base is a force, its fate in the apocalypse is still unpredictable. Perhaps it will continue to grow and become a powerful force that unifies the country; perhaps it will be swallowed up by other, more powerful forces; or perhaps it will vanish in this catastrophe."

As Chang Wei listened to Yoko Okino's analysis, his eyes gleamed, and he vaguely sensed Yoko Okino's intentions.

Yoko Okino paused for a moment, looked at Chang Wei, and said earnestly:

"Therefore, Tokyo may not be your best choice. The power dynamics there are complex, and we are outnumbered and outmatched. Even if we go, we might become prey in the eyes of others. Changwei, you must understand that choice is more important than effort."

Upon hearing this, Chang Wei felt a sense of relief. He looked at Yoko Okino gratefully and said firmly, "Yoko, I understand. No matter what the future holds, I will act cautiously and live up to your expectations."

"I will keep silent about what happened today!"

Chang Wei finally couldn't help but speak in a low voice, a hint of uncertainty flickering in his eyes.

"In this chaotic world of the end times, heroes emerge in great numbers. Why can't you, Chang Wei, take advantage of this opportunity to soar to the sky and become a divine dragon that flies through the heavens?"

Yoko Okino spoke slowly, each word like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

"What? You want me to establish my own power base in Japan and create a force of my own?"

Chang Wei was astonished and could hardly believe his ears. Yoko's courage and ideas were truly remarkable.

"What, are you scared? Didn't you have this thought when you saved me?"

Yoko Okino looked at Chang Wei with a half-smile on her lips. "If you didn't have this thought in your heart, why would you risk coming to save me?"

"Besides, do you really just want to save the people here? Probably not. If you didn't intend to use this as a base, why would you be so proactive? I know your personality; you're not the kind of person who won't do anything without a benefit."

"Furthermore, I am well aware of your strength. While I wouldn't dare say you're invincible in this world, I can sense that you are different from other evolved beings. I believe that you will definitely become one of the most powerful evolved beings in the world in the future!"

Chang Wei's gaze had returned to calm. He looked intently at Yoko Okino, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Yoko is indeed very intelligent; even my little schemes couldn't escape your notice."

Chang Wei's voice was deep and firm:

"However, given your intelligence, aren't you afraid?"

Even so, the murderous intent in Chang Wei's heart had quietly dissipated.

Inside the room, the atmosphere seemed to have returned to calm.

"Heh, afraid? Why should I be afraid?"

Yoko Okino smiled gently, as if she had everything under control.

"I think Yoko has lived a fulfilling life, and I have no regrets even if I die. But the only thing I can't let go of is my daughter, Mengqi."

Hearing this, Chang Wei's doubts deepened, and he looked at Yoko Okino with a puzzled expression.

"I can endure the hardships of life, and even face the threat of death,"

Yoko Okino continued, "But I can't bear to see my daughter all alone and helpless in this chaotic world, with no one to protect her. Changwei, you are someone I have high hopes for. I hope you can be her support and her protector."

Chang Wei remained silent, giving Yoko Okino a deep look, a complex emotion welling up inside him.

He knew that from this day forward, his fate might be closely intertwined with that of this seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary woman.

I can't let my daughter suffer like this!

"Therefore, I long for a force that can protect my daughter and me, and shelter us from the wind and rain!"

"And you, Chang Wei, although you haven't yet formed a considerable force, your potential is immense."

"I have high hopes for you and intend to place my trust in you."

230 Extraordinary Evolver Xiong Jinli!

Chang Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with a hint of doubt:

"Yoko, with your status and position, you should have had many choices. Why did you choose me?"

Yoko Okino gave a wry smile and replied:

"In this apocalyptic world, who would care about your past glory? Besides, there are not many people I can truly trust now, and you, Chang Wei, are one of them."

“If we choose to side with other forces, we may be ruthlessly devoured, and we may not even be left with bones. But by following you, we can create our own power together. The sense of security and accomplishment that other forces cannot provide.”

……

"So, Chang Wei, tell me, are you determined to make something of yourself? Let's start here. I believe that with your strength and my wisdom, we can definitely make everyone look at us with new eyes!"

Yoko Okino's eyes gleamed with burning ambition as she stared intently at Chang Wei.

Chang Wei fell silent, his heart churning with turmoil.

When Yoko Okino exposed his secret, he felt both angry and excited, as if he had entered a completely new world.

The seed called ambition grew wildly in his heart.

"Alright! I, Chang Wei, have decided to make a name for myself here! With the apocalypse upon us and chaos reigning, I will not only become the most powerful evolved being in the world, but also build an invincible force to protect those I cherish!"

Chang Wei said resolutely, his gaze fixed firmly on Yoko Okino, "Yoko, please take care of me from now on. I, Chang Wei, swear that as long as I live, I will never let you or Mengqi suffer any harm!"

Yoko Okino smiled upon hearing this and extended her palm, "Pleasure doing business with you!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Chang Wei also extended his hand and shook hands tightly with Yoko Okino.

Thus, the two ambitious and ruthless heroes joined hands and embarked on the road to conquering the world.

Yoko Okino seemed to have thought of something and turned to Chang Wei, saying, "Chang Wei, I estimate that Xiong Jinli and the others will be back soon. Remember, we don't need to kill them all, just eliminate the ringleaders as a warning to others. Our current fighting strength is severely insufficient, so it would be best if we could recruit them."

"Furthermore, there are quite a few able-bodied young men among the survivors. Perhaps we can assemble a simple team. With food and weapons, recruiting will be a piece of cake."

"With such a foundation, we can continue searching for people, finding more survivors, and gathering more food. Over time, our strength will gradually grow."

Listening to Yoko Okino's analysis, Chang Wei nodded frequently, and the two were so engrossed in their discussion that they forgot about the time.

When the two walked out of the room again, Chang Wei's expression was calm, but there was a hint of excitement that he could not hide in his eyes.

The crowd looked at their expressions and felt a little strange, glancing at Chang Wei and then at Yoko Okino from time to time.

Yoko Okino, however, seemed not to have seen anything and calmly walked out.

"Chang Wei, what did you and Yangzi talk about just now?"

Hoshino Ai stepped forward, holding a bag of bread and a carton of milk, and handed them to Chang Wei, taking his arm and asking softly.

Her full breasts gently rubbed against Chang Wei.

"nothing."

Chang Wei took the food and enjoyed the comfort brought by its softness.

He didn't tell Hoshino Ai the specifics, because revealing such things could cause a huge uproar.

They were unaware of, and had never considered, this possibility, so Chang Wei didn't want them to worry too much.

Seeing this, Hoshino Ai wisely refrained from asking further questions.

She knew that if Chang Wei wanted to tell her, he would.

Chang Wei turned his head and saw that Satomi Ishihara was sitting on the sofa again, head down in thought, seemingly lost in thought.

He didn't disturb them any further, and led Ada Wong, Sato, and the others to the village entrance to wait for Xiong Jinli and the others to arrive.

Meanwhile, Saya Takagi, Rika Minami, and others, armed with guns, maintained order in the courtyard, ready to shoot anyone who caused trouble.

The day passed just like that, and Chang Wei and the others did not return to their lodgings. Their meals were all delivered by others.

As the sun slowly sank in the west, Chang Wei and the others had been eagerly anticipating their return all day, thinking it would be another day of fruitless effort.

However, at that very moment, Chang Wei’s incredibly sharp intuition suddenly detected a faint, almost imperceptible tremor coming from the ground.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately gestured to the others.

"Attention everyone, a vehicle is approaching! Take cover immediately!"

"A vehicle? Could it be that Xiong Jinli has returned?"

"Great! After waiting so long, our hopes for him have finally come true!"

The others had no doubt about Chang Wei's judgment, after all, Chang Wei's strength was obvious to all.
