Chapter 1647: The Eve of the Farewell
At this time, an old woman with gray hair also came over. She was holding a package in her hand, which contained several thick clothes that she had sewn by herself.
She handed them to Li Luo with trembling hands and said, "Girl, take these clothes with you, don't catch a cold."
Li Luo felt warm in his heart, a gentle smile appeared on his face, he solemnly took the package from the old woman and said softly:
"Grandma, your craftsmanship is amazing. These clothes look warm. But you are old, and it is not easy to make these. You can keep them for yourself. We have sufficient supplies and we really don't need these clothes."
The old woman insisted:
"Girl, just accept it. You've helped us so much, and I, an old woman, don't have any other skills except sewing. If you don't accept it, I'll feel bad."
Li Luo smiled helplessly. She couldn't bear to refuse the old woman's kindness, so she said:
"Grandma, I'll take the clothes. But please don't tire yourself out in the future."
The old woman then smiled with satisfaction.
Similar scenes continued to unfold in every corner of the base.
Some members of the base brought precious herbs, and some brought tools they made themselves. Everyone wanted to express their gratitude to Li Luo and his team in their own way.
However, most of the gifts were rejected by Li Luowan.
There were so many supplies in her space bag that she felt embarrassed to accept more supplies from the base.
If she wasn't worried about leaking the secrets of the space, she would even want to leave some supplies to the base. After all, these supplies would be idle in her space, and they might play a greater role for the people in the base.
The night before departure, the Shelter Harbor Base held a simple and warm farewell dinner for Li Luo and his group.
The base square was filled with tables and chairs, and everyone took out their own treasured food to make a sumptuous dinner.
Chen Feng stood in the center of the square, raised the cup filled with homemade fruit wine in his hand, and said loudly:
"Today, we gather here to bid farewell to Li Luo and his group. In this end of eternal darkness, their arrival is like a ray of light, illuminating our Haven base. They have not only helped us rebuild our home, but also brought us fairness and hope. Let us raise a toast to them and wish them a safe journey and a safe return!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.
Li Luo stood up and looked at the enthusiastic people in front of him, his heart filled with emotion.
She said, "During this time, we have felt everyone's warmth and kindness at the Shelter Harbor base. Although we are about to leave, our hearts will always be with you. I hope everyone can build the base better and better, and find our own light in this eternal night."
At the dinner, everyone laughed and talked happily, recalling the moments they had spent together.
Some talked about the concerted efforts in rebuilding the city wall, some shared their insights when learning the new system, and some sang an ancient song. The song floated in the night sky, full of longing and hope for the future.
The dinner ended and the noise died down.
Li Luo climbed up the city wall alone and looked into the distance. What he saw was endless darkness as thick as ink, just like a heavy curtain that tightly wrapped the whole world.
Her thoughts were like a runaway horse, running wild in her mind.
That mysterious man was like a nightmare, breaking into her thoughts from time to time without warning.
