Back at the shelter, Xu Jiao led the others to the kitchen to cook; they were indeed hungry after all that commotion.

Ye Lei sat angrily on the sofa, recalling every little thing about Cha Zhijun and his daughter.

Xiuxiu sat down next to him considerately, as if she could tell that Ye Lei was unhappy.

"Brother, don't be angry. Xiuxiu will tell you a joke, okay?"

"Xiuxiu can tell jokes? Great! I love listening to them!"

Ye Lei turned around and looked at the pretty girl who looked like a zombie.

"Brother, do you know why I like to eat crystal kernels?"

"Perhaps it's because the crystal core can provide you with unlimited energy?"

Ye Lei said in a very serious tone.

"No, it's just that the zombie meat was too awful, haha..."

"Ha ha……"

Xiuxiu's little joke made Ye Lei a little happy. This was no girl with depression, but clearly a cute little girl!

"Brother Lei, what's making you so happy? You're laughing so broadly!"

Xu Jiao came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and smiled broadly when she saw the two of them.

"Hehe... Xiuxiu was telling me a joke, and I actually took it seriously, haha..."

"As long as you're happy, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"

"Alright, hey! Xiuxiu, are you going to eat or not?"

Ye Lei asked again in a serious tone.

"Brother, what do you think?"

"I bet you don't need to eat anymore, you're full just by gnawing on crystal cores all day!"

Ye Lei believed that the crystal core's enormous energy was sufficient to sustain her body's needs.

"Wrong! Completely wrong! I only ate those crystal cores as snacks. They're so hard, how could they be eaten as a meal!"

"Haha... Okay, as long as you behave, I'll give you as many snacks as you want from now on, okay?"

"Yay, thank you, brother!"

Xiuxiu clapped and cheered happily.

With Xiuxiu, this cute and lively little sprite, by his side, Ye Lei's originally gloomy mood gradually brightened.

After the two washed their hands, a sumptuous and delicious meal was laid out on the table. Xiuxiu unceremoniously sat in the seat that Cha Murong usually sat in, but this did not make anyone feel strange. On the contrary, they laughed non-stop because of Xiuxiu's quirky and mischievous appearance.

After dinner, Ye Lei sat leisurely on the sofa and turned on the TV.

Seeing this, Chen Xueer quickly brought a basin of steaming water and placed it at his feet. She then squatted down, gently took off his shoes, and put his feet into the basin, gently massaging them with her soft and delicate hands.

Xia Yuhe and Xiuyan sat obediently on either side of him, massaging his shoulders and patting his back, and asked with concern, "Brother Lei, is this pressure okay? Do you need to put in more effort?" Their words were full of care.

Meanwhile, Bena had already returned to the monitoring room to keep a close watch. The situation was becoming increasingly unpredictable and complicated, leaving no room for carelessness. Xu Jiao took the initiative to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen and the room.

Tang Xiaoting, who had been traveling with Ye Lei for a long time, claimed to be a little tired, so she went upstairs to take a shower and wash up before going to bed early. Only the mischievous Xiuxiu seemed to have inexhaustible energy and insisted on running out to play, and Ye Lei did not stop her.

"Hello fellow survivors!"

Now bringing you the news: According to the latest news from the meteorological observatory, the highest temperature in our city tomorrow will reach 57℃.

Under such high temperatures, the official shelters can no longer meet the needs of survivors. However, the army has started construction on an underground city in the Shiwan Mountains, and we believe that we will be able to move in and escape the scorching heat soon.

In addition, the latest satellite maps show that due to the high temperatures, the ice and snow in the North and South Poles are melting, exposing arable land in many places.

Perhaps soon we will be able to grow food here to meet our needs, but the arable land is limited and there are many survivors around the world. Whether this will cause conflict between countries remains to be seen, and we will continue to monitor the situation.

Next comes bad news: due to the melting of ice and snow, the sea level has risen sharply, and Yunfan Port in our city has been submerged, and nearly one-third of the city's area has been intruded by seawater.

This station once again reminds all survivors to move away from their seaside homes as soon as possible to avoid them being flooded by seawater, which would cause transportation inconvenience. In addition, there are rumors that there are a large number of mutated zombies in the ocean, which are more powerful and brutal than the zombies on land.

According to the latest news from the national laboratory, scientists have developed a new zombie vaccine that can effectively kill the zombie virus, and those who were unfortunately infected may soon be able to recover.

Finally, we reiterate that the apocalypse is not scary; what is scary is our lack of unity. As long as we work together, we will surely overcome the apocalyptic crisis soon and allow everyone to return to normal life.

Thanks for watching, goodbye!

"Haha...that's hilarious!"

After reading the news, Ye Lei was so amused by the biggest lie that he laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"Brother Lei, what's wrong? Is such serious news so ridiculous?"

Chen Xueer asked, puzzled.

"Perhaps, even if I hadn't gone to the X Secret Lab this time, seeing this news could have filled me with hope for the future. What a pity!"

"What's there to regret? I think it's very inspiring, especially that vaccine. If it's successfully developed, then we'll have won more than half the battle against the apocalypse!"

Soo-yeon said that as a doctor, she certainly knows what vaccines mean!

"Stop dreaming! Vaccines? That's a complete lie!"

"Oh! How could that be?"

The three of them exclaimed in unison.

Ye Lei recounted what he had seen and heard during his trip to the X Secret Laboratory, and everyone suddenly realized that the so-called vaccine was the biggest lie since the apocalypse.

"If that's the case, then all those zombies will have to be wiped out!"

Xu Jiao appeared and stood to the side at some point.

"Theoretically, that's the only way. However, as the news just mentioned, there is arable land in the North and South Poles. Imagine if many countries were to compete for it? What would happen if that were the case?"

"A world war has broken out!"

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuhe reacted quite quickly.

"That's right. Perhaps these zombies could be sent to the battlefield as human bombs. Wouldn't that be even better?"

"Exactly, Brother Lei is thinking ahead. So what do we do next?"

"Us? Survival is our top priority, of course! As for world wars, they shouldn't concern us!"

"That's hard to say, Brother Lei. You're so capable, who knows, the country might give you an important position?"

"Haha... If they want to give me a high position, what can they offer to invite me? I can have whatever I want, I'm afraid they won't be able to persuade me!"

"Yeah, a world war? That sounds terrifying!"

"Alright, that's all for the future. Next, I should go to the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"What are you going there for?"

"Of course we should go check out the underground city. I believe it will be much more interesting than the stadium's shelter."

Ye Lei put away his carefree expression and began planning the next adventure.
