Li Xin'er was unaware that even before she arrived, someone had already set their sights on her.

Unfortunately, Du Zhiyuan's wish could not be fulfilled in the end, since it was just her and Lu Jin'an traveling in a plane.

There are no trucks for him to stop~

It was noon. After resting at the airport overnight, Li Xin'er and the others had breakfast at dawn and set off again.

After a morning of travel, they were almost at Xinghuo Base in the afternoon, so they stopped to refuel and have lunch.

They couldn't find an airport nearby, but they found a flat area that had just been filled in over a thousand acres and hadn't been developed yet.

Lu Jin'an stamped his foot on the yellow earth, stretched his stiff legs, and introduced to Li Xin'er:

"This place was planned to be developed into a tourist attraction, but unfortunately, it was just filled in before the end of the world came."

He then pointed to several distant, continuous mountain peaks.

"The original plan was to develop the area along with the surrounding mountains, but there are still many wild animals in the area, so the approval was not granted."

"You know that?"

Li Xin'er thought that Lu Jin'an was the kind of person whose mind was always on missions and training.

Lu Jin'an gave a faint smile. "The Lu family has shares in the company. I've heard my second uncle mention it."

"The original plan to invest 3 billion yuan was reduced to 1 billion yuan, which is a big difference."

Since the apprenticeship ceremony last night, Lu Jin'an has become much more relaxed and at ease with Li Xin'er. His expression is no longer as reserved as before, and he often smiles.

Li Xin'er nodded. "No wonder."

Lu Jin'an pointed to a spot next to the plane, "Shall I cook?"

"Okay." She would definitely be happy to have something ready to eat.

Li Xin'er walked over and took out the pots, pans, and ingredients she wanted for lunch. She even specifically asked Lu Jin'an about them.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Lu Jin'an had already put on a brown apron beside her.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his tanned, muscular forearms, and began tidying up the things on the floor.

"Anything is fine with me, just take whatever you want to eat."

"OK."

Hearing this, Li Xin'er didn't stand on ceremony. After taking everything out, she went to the other side and set up a table and chairs.

They also took out a fruit platter and selected several clean fruits to place on the table.

She has a habit of eating fruit after meals and eats a lot of fruit, so no matter where she goes, she always has a fruit plate next to her.

Looking around, all you see are a few distant mountains and a vast expanse of trampled yellow earth; there's nothing much to see.

Li Xin'er couldn't stay still. Since it would take some time to eat, she said goodbye to Lu Jin'an and headed towards the mountain next to her.

The trees were withered and looked rather bare from a distance.

In the mountains and forests, the ground is covered with dead branches, and you can hear the crunching sound of branches breaking when you step on them.

Li Xin'er wandered around aimlessly for a while, and was about to return the way she came when she suddenly stopped.

He then smiled slightly and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

Back at the encampment, Lu Jin'an had just finished cooking the last dish.

"Perfect timing, dinner is ready."

The table that was originally set out was a foldable wooden table, but the fruit that Li Xin'er brought out took up most of the table.

Li Xin'er simply set up another table near the cooking area.

The two sat facing each other, enjoying a simple meal of three dishes and a soup: stir-fried beef with shredded carrots, stir-fried black fungus with daylily, stir-fried celery with shredded pork, and satay double meatball soup.

It looks simple, but at this point, it would be considered a small luxury lifestyle anywhere.

After all, it's extremely difficult to find clean meat and fresh vegetables outside these days.

After taking a few bites, Lu Jin'an suddenly stopped picking up food with his chopsticks. He twitched his ears and cautiously glanced at the table where the fruit was placed.

Seeing that he seemed to have already noticed, Li Xin'er reminded him:

"Let's eat quickly, we'll have fruit later."

The little thing followed her all the way back, always eyeing the fruit; it turns out it's a glutton.

Lu Jin'an turned around and met her gaze, immediately understanding her meaning.

"good."

He seemed to sense something moving on the other side of the table, but upon closer inspection, he found nothing.

He initially thought it was his imagination, but since Li Xin'er reminded him, his feeling was correct.

Lu Jin'an continued eating, but he also tried to continue sensing the strange movement. He didn't know what it was, but this would help him train his sensory abilities.

With Li Xin'er's definitive answer, Lu Jin'an's senses became increasingly clear, and he gradually seemed to discover the trick.

He could sense that the other person was not very large and was not human.

The one that remained hidden grew bolder and more arrogant because the two hadn't noticed it.

After Li Xin'er leisurely finished her meal, only a pile of banana peels remained on the table.

Li Xin'er put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and deliberately said to Lu Jin'an:

"I'm full. You can eat slowly. After you finish, you can have some fruit, but don't eat the bananas."

Lu Jin'an kept a close eye on the situation without showing any emotion, while also echoing Li Xin'er's words.

"Oh? What's wrong with the banana? Can't we eat it?"

Li Xin'er narrowed her eyes slightly, and her voice rose considerably.

"Aren't there a lot of thieves lately? I deliberately poisoned the bananas, waiting for the thieves to fall into the trap."

"Once the thief eats it, he will first suffer excruciating pain, then his whole body will begin to rot and slowly turn into a pile of mud."

Before Li Xin'er could say a word, the invisible guy on the other side would shrink back and tremble in fear.
