After the two of them finished getting ready, they came downstairs and found everyone sitting around the dining table, chatting and laughing. But from their slightly flushed cheeks, it wasn't hard to guess what thoughts were swirling in their minds at that moment!

"Jiao'er, is dinner ready?"

Ye Lei's voice broke the noise, and he also sensed that the atmosphere was slightly unusual.

"Okay...okay, dinner's ready!"

Xu Jiao responded with a grin, then skipped and hopped towards the kitchen.

Before long, all sorts of delicious dishes filled the table. Ye Lei was in a great mood and specially brought out a bottle of red wine that he had treasured for many years, pouring half a glass for everyone. These goddesses seemed to be hoping to use this fine wine to soothe the pain of longing they had just experienced.

The lively family dinner lasted for more than an hour, and everyone was engrossed in it. Since Ye Lei mastered the superpower of being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, his alcohol tolerance has increased significantly. This amount of red wine only made him slightly tipsy.

After the meal, everyone drank happily and didn't bother to clean up the leftover food on the table. They all went upstairs to rest. Ye Lei was also happy to relax. After several days of hard work and travel, it was time to relax!

Nothing was said that night.

The next day, when Ye Lei went downstairs, as expected, Xu Jiao was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for everyone again. The leftovers from last night had been cleaned up, and the fragrance of flowers throughout the house made people feel particularly refreshed!

"My dear, where did these flowers come from?"

Ye Lei asked the busy Xu Jiao.

"Oh, we planted them by the vegetable garden. They've been blooming beautifully lately, so I picked some to bring back. I didn't clean the dishes last night, and the house smelled bad, so I brought them here to improve the atmosphere!"

Xu Jiao said with a smile.

"Wow, you're such a wonderful wife and mother!"

"No way! Thank you for the compliment, Brother Lei. I'm just a clean person, it's just a habit!"

In this shelter, Xu Jiao was the one who had the hardest time. Ye Lei thought to himself, "This is a good opportunity to take her out for some fresh air!" So he asked:

"Jiao'er, would you like to go out for a stroll with Brother Lei?"

"Brother Lei, are you going out again?"

"Yes, to Yunfan Port."

"Why go there? I saw on the news that it's been flooded by seawater!"

Xu Jiao couldn't understand what Ye Lei was going there for.

"Oh, go rescue someone, Principal Ma's daughter, do you know her?"

Ye Lei thought that if Xu Jiao knew him, things would be much easier.

"Her name is Ma... Ma something again? Oh, Ma Jing, right?"

Xu Jiao thought for a moment and then said.

"So you know her! It's Ma Jing!"

"Actually, we don't really know each other; we've only met once. Oh, I heard she went to study in the US?"

Xu Jiao knows quite a lot.

"Yes, the apocalypse came, and she came back, but the ship reached Yunfan Port and she couldn't get on. Yesterday, when she came back, she ran into Principal Ma, who hoped that I could go and rescue her!"

Ye Lei explained the reason.

"Oh, I see. But I've heard that Ma Jing thinks she's a very arrogant international student and not easy to deal with!"

Xu Jiao said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"What? Are you scared?"

"What am I afraid of? It's not like I'm the one going to save her, I'm worried about you, Brother Lei! Hehe..."

Xu Jiao seemed to have thought of something.

"What do I have to worry about? You know I love challenges. How about it? Want to come along? Let's go now!"

Ye Lei couldn't wait to meet this arrogant overseas returnee.

"Now? Okay, okay, breakfast is ready anyway, don't you need to tell them?"

"No need, Benana and Xia Yuhe know!"

"Okay, let's set off now!"

Xu Jiaoqing picked up a sandwich and handed it to Ye Lei behind her. They stepped out of the shelter together.

At that moment, Xiuxiu and Honghaier were playing happily outside the door. When they saw Ye Lei come out, the two little elves immediately ran over joyfully and followed closely behind him.

Ye Lei smiled and took them along without hesitation, after all, these two cute little guys would only obey his orders.

Before setting off, Ye Lei controlled the Gale Cheetah to ensure the safety of the shelter. Then, he took the Undying Skeleton and skillfully started the cool Mercedes SUV.

With the roar of engines, the group set off towards Yunfan Port in high spirits and with great momentum. Along the way, the wheels rolled forward, raising clouds of dust.

However, after traveling less than half the distance, seawater began to appear on the streets. As the vehicle continued to move forward, the seawater became deeper and deeper, but fortunately, the Mercedes SUV was powerful enough to continue its journey.

However, when they were almost at Yunfan Port, they had to stop the car. By then, the seawater had already submerged half of the vehicle. If they continued driving, the car would probably be totaled.

Ye Lei took out a speedboat from his spatial storage, which he had collected during the last annihilation of the Skull Pirate Legion. After everyone boarded the speedboat, he hurriedly put the Mercedes-Benz SUV into his spatial storage. After all, even a high-performance Mercedes-Benz SUV could not withstand long-term immersion and corrosion from seawater.

Looking into the distance, a heart-stopping scene unfolds: countless abandoned vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and bicycles, float on the vast, boundless sea. They have all been eroded beyond recognition by the seawater, covered in rust, and have completely lost their former glory and vitality.

Looking at the streets, the once bustling shops and residential buildings are now dilapidated, eroded by the sea, with mottled marks and white salt everywhere.

The humid, sultry sea breeze filled the air, and the salty, fishy smell was suffocating, as if the whole world was immersed in a stench.

The once clean and tidy streets are no more. In their place, the streets are littered with garbage washed up by the sea, including plastic bags, aluminum cans, and old clothes. They drift on the water, creating a desolate and tragic scene.

"Brother Lei, I don't seem to see the ocean liner you mentioned."

Xu Jiao glanced into the distance and said.

"Maybe it's too far away? Run, let me get some binoculars to take a look!"

Ye Lei took out two telescopes from his spatial storage and handed one to Xu Jiao. The two then began their search.

Soon, a cruise ship came into his view. However, due to the distance, he could not see if there were any people on board. What he could be sure of was that it was stationary, and the towering smokestack was not emitting thick smoke, so it should be the right ship.

Suddenly, the once calm sea in the distance became turbulent. Upon closer inspection, Ye Lei saw that it seemed to be countless marine animals swimming towards them. Could these be the legendary sea zombies?
