"Are you okay?" Xiao Yi asked softly, his tone full of concern and expectation.

Si Feifei opened her eyes slightly, her voice as soft as windblown sand, weak but firm: "It's okay, it's just that you, like a buffalo sometimes, can catch people off guard."

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled self-deprecatingly. He scratched his head, as if trying to wipe away the rudeness.

"I know my behavior may seem rude sometimes, but I just..." He paused, as if looking for the right words to express his inner feelings.

"You are just too direct and too passionate." Si Feifei took over his words, and a warm light flashed in her eyes.

"Yes, I admit it. But you know what? Sometimes, this directness and enthusiasm is also a kind of sincerity and affection." Xiao Yi said seriously, as if showing Si Feifei the world deep in his heart.

Si Feifei smiled gently. She knew that behind this rudeness was Xiao Yi's passionate and sincere heart. Although it sometimes made people feel uncomfortable, this was also his unique charm.

"Thank you, Xiao Yi." She whispered, her eyes shining with gratitude and recognition.

Xiao Yi smiled. He knew that his rudeness hadn't alienated Si Feifei from him. Instead, it had made her understand him better and cherish their relationship even more. Perhaps this rudeness was the unique bond between them, bringing them closer together. "Oh? Where's rude? It's obviously rude everywhere," Xiao Yi said.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the quiet night. After a busy day, Xiao Yi and Si Feifei finally tidied up the mess in the audio-visual room. They smiled at each other, as if celebrating a small victory, and then returned to their rooms, bathing in the warm water to wash away the day's fatigue and changing into comfortable home clothes.

When Xiao Yi walked into the spacious kitchen, an alluring aroma filled his nose. He saw Xu Wei, Cheng Mao, and Fan Zun busy around the stove, their figures looking particularly harmonious under the soft light. Seeing Xiao Yi coming, they warmly invited him, "Xiao Yi, would you like to come and taste our cooking?"

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'm hungry too."

Soon, a plate of emerald green stir-fried vegetables and a golden steamed egg with minced pork were served. While simple, home-cooked meals, they seemed exceptionally delicious and healthy on this quiet evening. The four of them gathered around the table, savoring the food and sharing their daily lives. A warm atmosphere permeated the kitchen.

This is not just a dinner, but also a spiritual exchange. In this small kitchen, they not only tasted the delicious food, but also felt the warmth of friendship and the beauty of life. Such time, although ordinary, is full of life.

As the lights gradually brighten, the day's bustle and hustle gradually fade away. The hours after dinner become a time for residents to exercise and reflect. The rhythmic treadmill sounds intertwine with the thump of their hearts, as if telling each person's story and expectations.

Fan Zun stepped off the treadmill, his face drenched in sweat, his eyes awash with thought. He gazed out the window at the starry sky, imagining the world outside. "After landing outside, I guess they'll establish the last base of human civilization," he said, his voice tinged with anticipation and uncertainty.

Xiao Yi stood beside him, his eyes firm and deep: "Looking at this situation, it is very likely. But Fan Zun, do you really think this is enough? The problem of zombies seems to no longer be our main concern."

Fan Zun turned his head, his eyes flashing with confusion: "It seems that many of the doubts I had before don't need to be solved now." There was a hint of helplessness and relief in his words.

But Xiao Yi shook his head, his eyes revealing a firmness and depth: "Not necessarily, who said that all the zombies have disappeared?" His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Fan Zun was stunned, his heartbeat seemingly stagnant for a moment. He looked at Xiao Yi, trying to find the answer in his eyes. Xiao Yi continued firmly, "We can't let the present calm make us forget the crisis behind it. The existence of zombies is not just a biological threat, but also a symbol. It represents the fragility of human civilization and our fear of the unknown world."

Fan Zun took a deep breath, sensing the weight and depth of Xiao Yi's words. He understood that while they seemed to have escaped the zombie threat, the real challenge had only just begun. They needed to face not only external enemies, but also the fear and confusion within themselves.

At this moment, they are no longer just simple residents, but guardians of human civilization. They need to think, explore, and work for the future of humanity. After-dinner exercise is no longer just physical exercise, but also spiritual cleansing and reflection.

Xiao Yi's words were like a key, unlocking the door to Fan Zun's inner thoughts. They began to explore the future of human civilization, exploring how to find hope and direction in this world full of unknowns and challenges. Their conversation was no longer just a simple chat, but a plan and vision for the future.

As night fell and the stars twinkled outside, they remained immersed in their discussion. Their souls were cleansed and elevated, their gazes growing more resolute and profound. They knew that no matter how many challenges and difficulties lay ahead, as long as they united as one, they would surely find a path to humanity's future. Silence fell once again at the table, like the silent envelopment of night. The air seemed frozen, and everyone's heart was enveloped in this invisible silence.
