"By the way, Jingchen, when did you come back? Why haven't you contacted me at all?" Ye Ning was stunned for a long time before she recovered from her shyness and realized that she still had many questions to ask.

“I’ve been back for a while now. I had some other things to do, so I didn’t contact you. But I know everything you’ve done, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get here to save you so quickly this time.”

"You brat, you actually spyed on me! Humph!" Ye Ning was still angry that Xiao Jingchen hadn't come to find her first after returning to the country, and hadn't even left her a message.

Xiao Jingchen suddenly stopped the car.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ning asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Ye Ning, I have something to tell you seriously now. From now on, you can't treat me like a little brother anymore. I want to be your man. Do you understand, man?" Xiao Jingchen pouted and said arrogantly.

"Okay, okay, I understand!" Ye Ning quickly tried to make peace.

"By the way! Jingchen, where are we going now?" Ye Ning suddenly realized that she had never been on this road before.

"Well! You'll find out when you get there!" Xiao Jingchen said mysteriously.

Half an hour later, the two finally arrived at their destination, a farmhouse in the suburbs.

As soon as Ye Ning got out of the car, she saw a familiar figure.

"Brother Longfei, what are you doing here?"

Long Fei looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if to say, "Do we know each other?"

Ye Ning then remembered that in her previous life, she met Long Fei in the third year of the apocalypse. At that time, Long Fei was being chased by people from Xinyuan Group. Xiao Jingchen helped him and they traveled together afterward. Later, during a robbery of supplies, he was stabbed five times while protecting Xiao Jingchen and died from his injuries.

Ye Ning was so excited to see an old friend that she momentarily forgot that Long Fei probably didn't recognize her yet.

Xiao Jingchen put his arm around Ye Ning's waist. "It's alright, Long Fei, you go do other things first!"

"Yes!" Long Fei nodded respectfully and continued with his work.

Soon, Ye Ning saw two familiar faces, both of whom were her comrades-in-arms from her previous life.

Sister Li, real name Zhang Li, 34 years old, marital status: divorced, has super strong fighting ability, but has a tragic past.

Lei Siming, a graduate student in the Department of Agronomy, is Xiao Jingchen's junior at the same school. He is a quiet and talented young man.

No wonder Jing Chen didn't look for her immediately after his rebirth; he was searching for his teammates.

"Jingchen, how did you find them?" Ye Ning whispered in Xiao Jingchen's ear.

"Of course, it took some twists and turns. I'll tell you about it when I have time."

Xiao Jingchen beckoned them over, then took Ye Ning's hand and introduced her, "Let me formally introduce you, Ye Ning, my woman."

Ye Ning playfully punched Xiao Jingchen's chest and extended her hand, "Hello everyone! My name is Ye Ning, nice to meet you in the future."

Ye Ning exchanged a few pleasantries with them. Although they no longer recognized her in this life, Ye Ning still felt a deep sense of warmth upon seeing those she had shared life and death with in her past life.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with them, Ye Ning was pulled into a warehouse by Xiao Jingchen.

The warehouse wasn't large, and all the windows were nailed shut with wooden strips, making it pitch black inside.

Xiao Jingchen turned on the dim incandescent light, revealing more than twenty large boxes, each about the height of a person, all covered tightly with tarpaulins, giving them a rather mysterious appearance.

"What's inside?" Ye Ning asked curiously as she opened the wooden box.

Inside, there were rows upon rows of gleaming firearms, their chilling light emanating a palpable murderous aura under the dim light, sending shivers down one's spine as if being targeted by countless venomous snakes.

Ye Ning glanced at it and was so shocked that she closed the wooden box. Compared to these things, the things she had Gao Feng buy on the black market were like toys for children.

"Jingchen, where did you get all these things? These things can't be bought or sold on the market!"

"Do you remember that Xinyuan Group? This was originally their goods, but I intercepted it," Xiao Jingchen said casually.

"Jingchen, you're too bold! It'll be troublesome if they find out! Xinyuan Group is notoriously ruthless," Ye Ning said with concern.

"Don't worry, it's alright! Anyway, the apocalypse is coming in a few days, they won't be able to find out what I have. And even if they do, I'm not afraid of them!" Seeing that Ye Ning was worried about him, Xiao Jingchen gently hugged her.

Hearing Xiao Jingchen's strong heartbeat, Ye Ning felt relieved.

"Ye Ning!"

"Um!"

In the darkness, the tension gradually escalated, and Xiao Jingchen's hand, which was holding Ye Ning, began to wander restlessly.

"Jing Chen".

"Don't speak, I'm afraid I'll bite your tongue!" Xiao Jingchen's warm lips covered mine again.

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Ning finally broke free, her face flushed.

She straightened her crumpled skirt, her face as red as a cherry.

After some back and forth, the two finally remembered that they still had important business to attend to.

Ye Ning put all twenty-odd boxes into her spatial storage.

Half of these boxes contained various types of firearms, and the rest contained rare energy equipment that money couldn't buy. Xinyuan Group has suffered a huge loss this time.

After storing all of these in his spatial storage, Xiao Jingchen led her to another small warehouse, which contained diesel and gasoline.

"Jingchen, where did you get so many?" Ye Ning had wanted to prepare some before, but she didn't have a source.

"You don't need to worry about these. Just put them away."

After Ye Ning put all of these into her spatial storage, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Jingchen hadn't yet visited the shelter she had built for the two of them.

“Jingchen, while you were away, I built a shelter in the suburbs.”

"I know!" Xiao Jingchen affectionately patted Ye Ning's hair. He knew everything Ye Ning had done during this time. The reason he hadn't contacted her was because he had too many things to do and didn't want her to get involved too early.

"Jingchen, let me show you our future home!" Ye Ning said enthusiastically.

"Home!" Ye Ning's word suddenly touched the softest spot in Xiao Jingchen's heart.

"Okay!" Xiao Jingchen nodded.

"Let's go!" Ye Ning almost jumped for joy.

Just then, Xiao Jingchen's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID on the screen and frowned.

"Ye Ning, wait for me a moment, I need to take this call." Xiao Jingchen went into another room to answer the phone.

Seeing this, Ye Ning quietly sat in the car and waited.

Five minutes later, Xiao Jingchen opened the car door. His expression was normal, but Ye Ning, who knew him well, could still sense his emotional fluctuations.

"Jingchen, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing! It's just a small matter, I can handle it myself, you don't need to worry."

Seeing that Xiao Jingchen was unwilling to talk about it, Ye Ning didn't ask any more questions. "Then let's go back together!"

“Okay! Let’s go home together!” Xiao Jingchen revealed his right dimple.
