When Li Churan woke up, it was already getting slightly dark.

He actually slept for such a long time!

Li Churan rubbed her head, sat up, put on her clothes, and left the room.

"Chu Ran! You're finally awake! I've prepared lunch for you, and I've reheated it several times!" Wang Siyuan pointed to the dishes on the table.

Li Churan grabbed a few slices of toast, casually stuffed them into her mouth, and stood up to run out again.

"Chu Ran! Are you going out again?" Wang Siyuan pouted unhappily. She thought that after coming here, she could spend every day with Chu Ran, but who knew that she could only see him once a day. It was not as good as before!

While Li Churan was busy rapidly expanding his power.

Ye Ning, however, was happily playing cards in the shelter.

Since the shelter became more crowded, Ye Ning has finally found new card-playing partners!

"Ah! Sister Ye Ning! Please leave me some points! I was planning to buy a new pair of shoes at the end of the month. Now I've even lost my food money to you!" The new guy looked completely innocent.

"How about this! I'll refund half of the points you lost, and we can play a few more rounds!" Ye Ning was having a great time, but who knew the other person would quit!

"No, no, no! Sister Ye Ning! You're just too amazing. Even if we withdraw halfway, we still can't beat you!" What's the use of withdrawing halfway? We'll still lose anyway.

"You people are really boring! Brother Longfei, why don't you do it?" Ye Ning looked at Brother Longfei, who was standing aside watching the commotion.

"Me!" Brother Longfei, not expecting the criticism to suddenly fall on him, waved his hands in a panic and said, "No, no! I have other things to do, so I'll be going now!"

After saying that, he ran off in a flash! Behind him were three large dogs, his old sled dogs, which had all grown up!

"Isn't there anyone else willing to fight?" Ye Ning sat at the table, seeking defeat alone!

"Miss! Dinner is ready! You can eat now!"

Seeing that everyone else was too scared to go forward, Ye Ning had no choice but to back down and obediently return to the living area to eat.

When Ye Ning returned to the restaurant, Xiao Jingchen was already sitting at the table waiting for her.

Looking at Ye Ning's sullen face, he revealed a doting smile.

"What! You've been slaughtering everyone again?" Xiao Jingchen asked with a half-smile.

"Yes!" Ye Ning sat down at the dining table, sullenly cutting her steak as if venting her anger.

"These people can't afford to play! It's so boring! I only won a few more rounds, and they all stopped playing with me!" Ye Ning looked at Xiao Jingchen pitifully.

If the losers heard this, they'd probably be furious. How could she have only won a few rounds? Ye Ning was winning every single one of them! How could they possibly stand it?

"If they hadn't slipped away, they probably would have lost their underwear!" Xiao Jingchen chuckled.

"Hmph! What would I do with their underwear! I can't use it to wipe my face!" Ye Ning glared fiercely at Xiao Jingchen.

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Jingchen laughed heartily.

"Hey! Jingchen, why don't you play with me?" Ye Ning suddenly said with a sly look on her face.

"I... never mind!" Although he was exceptionally intelligent and brilliant, he still couldn't beat Ye Ning.

"Hmph!" Ye Ning pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Alright! Stop being upset! Let's eat!" Xiao Jingchen gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

The shelter and base have been filled with joy these past few days because the zombie frenzy has finally ended.

Yesterday afternoon at seven o'clock, a cold front arrived, successfully causing the zombies to return to their previous state.

Overjoyed, everyone at the base and shelter began to relax, and Ye Ning was no exception.

During this period, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen rescued more than 500 people, which was almost the total number of people in the shelter and base combined.

Ye Ning knew that the weather would get colder and colder, and then the zombies would completely disappear from the stage of history.

The earth will remain frozen, and she can take advantage of the time before it freezes completely to continue collecting supplies.

These next few days are a good time to wait for the temperature to drop.

I've been busy for almost half a month, and I can finally rest for a few days.

After directing everyone to clear away all the zombie corpses piled up along the second layer of walls, Lei Siming's planting base could finally resume development.

Unlike before, Lei Siming now has several more capable assistants.

Professor Chen also began planting vines outside the wall that could automatically attack zombies. With Lei Siming's help, the two of them were a perfect match.

Ye Ning also plans to plant a circle of vines at the base after the vines are successfully planted.

In short, everything is moving in a positive direction, and Ye Ning's second life has not been in vain.

"Oh, right! Ye Ning!" Xiao Jingchen hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

"What's wrong, Jingchen?" Ye Ning asked while eating her steak.

"I received news that Li Churan is back!" Xiao Jingchen tried his best to keep his face calm, but he felt very awkward inside.

"He's actually back? Didn't he go to H country before? What's he doing back now?" Ye Ning's expression didn't seem unusual, but she was a little gossipy.

To her, Li Churan was nothing more than a stranger she knew. They had been through two lifetimes together, and any feelings of love she might have had long since faded away.

Seeing that Ye Ning's expression was normal, Xiao Jingchen finally let go of his inner turmoil.

"He married a powerful and influential young lady in H country, and with the help of his father-in-law's family, he rose rapidly through the ranks. Now, he's back in A city with his people and resources!" It's no wonder Xiao Jingchen knows all this!

The more Ye Ning listened to the story, the more familiar it seemed. Wasn't this just a copy of her own story?

It seems that Li Churan has followed the old path of becoming a live-in son-in-law again. I wonder how that rich young lady is doing after marrying someone like Li Churan who is both capable and hypocritical!

Ye Ning silently mourned for Wang Siyuan for two minutes.

"Where is he in City A now?" Ye Ning asked subconsciously.

"What? You still want to go see him?" Xiao Jingchen pouted, his jealousy rising.

"Okay, okay! I was just asking casually. You know I only have eyes for you!" Ye Ning quickly added.

"Did you know that the federal government set up a rescue center in City A? He's there right now!"

The rescue center... that sounds so familiar. Oh right, wasn't Lin Mengru there before?

If Lin Mengru had survived the zombies until now, maybe she and Li Churan would have run into each other again?
