In the days that followed, survivors continued to hear the broadcast and trekked to M City to seek refuge.

Huang Jianbo also came to terms with it and stopped bothering Tong Ziqi. He set off lightly with his dog and car, intending to search for survivors in more distant places.

Before leaving, he even asked Ji Feng for help to install a loudspeaker and a rectangular LED screen on the roof of his car.

As soon as the car starts moving, the LED screen will scroll through dazzling rainbow text saying "Welcome to M City," accompanied by a loud, looping announcement from a loudspeaker.

"It feels like riding a motorcycle on a ghost fire at night..." Zhang Xiaojuan stared in disbelief at the flashy off-road vehicle.

It's kind of cool, and I kind of want it.

"Bozi, being heartbroken isn't a big deal. After all, you were in the wrong first, and we still have so many friends." Cheng Mofan and Li Kun reluctantly squeezed his shoulders, discussing whether to keep Huang Jianbo with them.

Huang Jianbo's weathered face made him look more than ten years older, and he seemed to be a generation younger than everyone else. "People always have to do something meaningful."

"Otherwise, I'd be no different from a walking corpse right now."

He was determined to leave, and no one could stop him.

Although we wanted to keep them, everyone was busy settling in with the new members, so all we could do was wish each other well.

Lu Sheng was having a bit of a headache with personnel management, so she simply handed it all over to Su Zheng and Xu Shao. Every day, she would take Zhuangzhuang and Huojian to inspect the increasingly thriving desert green belt.

Xu Yi spends 20 out of every 24 hours in the lab doing research, often not leaving the house for days at a time.

"Try to persuade Teacher Xu. No one can withstand such reckless pushing." Sun Tiantian and the others approached Lu Sheng several times, hoping she could persuade Xu Yi to stop working so hard.

Lu Sheng shook his head, "Give Teacher Xu some time, don't disturb her."

Three years of getting to know each other is enough to understand each other's temperaments and personalities.

Like Lu Sheng, Xu Yi is the type of person who never looks back once she's made up her mind. Rather than interrupting Xu Yi's rhythm at this time, it's better to wait patiently.

But every night when Lu Sheng passed by the laboratory door, he would still leave a bag of daily necessities.

Today she prepared golden broth beef and minced pork fried rice with pickled green beans, along with two bottles of banana milk.

"Lu Sheng, you feel like a stranger to me. You even prepared a spicy and sour appetizer, along with some stomach-soothing milk!" Zhuangzhuang looked like he knew a lot, his big tail wagging excitedly.

Lu Sheng pulled out a freeze-dried quail and stuffed it into Zhuangzhuang's mouth, saying, "Can't eating something shut you up?"

"Mmm..."

Zhuangzhuang held the quail in its mouth and wouldn't let go, its big eyes blinking suggestively.

I had just put the bag down when the door in front of me opened.

Lu Sheng: "..."

I awkwardly looked up and met a pair of slightly tired eyes.

Xu Yi looked noticeably thinner after just a few days, with two buttons undone on his shirt collar, revealing his prominent collarbone.

Looking into those eyes that seemed to see through everything, Lu Sheng instantly felt embarrassed, as if he had been caught red-handed. He silently dug out a snowy world with his toes inside his shoe.

Although she wasn't afraid of Xu Yi finding out she was delivering something, there was a significant difference between knowing and being arrested on the spot...

What's the difference between her now and someone running naked in the university town's food street?

"Thank you, the food has been delicious these past few days."

Xu Yi smiled gently, his voice slightly hoarse, "I've prepared a small gift to thank the Snail Fairy for feeding me."

"I was planning to give it to you tomorrow, but since we happened to run into each other, I'll give it to you now."

He turned slightly to the side, then took out an exquisite long box. "It's getting late, we'll open it when we get back."

"Um..." Lu Sheng's ears burned with embarrassment. He grabbed the box, picked up the cat, and quickly fled the scene.

Back in the room, before she even took off her shoes, Zhuangzhuang eagerly started rummaging through the box with his little paws.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm so impatient, I really want to see Teacher Xu's gift."

"It's not like it's a gift for you, why are you in such a hurry?"

I'm worried for you!

Lu Sheng gently placed the box on the table and carefully lifted the lid.

She paused for a few seconds when she saw what was inside the box.

"Wow! It's Cardcaptor Sakura's Star Staff!" Zhuangzhuang exclaimed, carefully touching it with his furry paws.

In her previous life, the naive and timid Lu Sheng always had Cardcaptor Sakura as her go-to electronic pickled vegetable dish with every meal. Zhuangzhuang watched countless episodes with her and knew all the characters and weapons inside and out.

Lu Sheng stared at the box and fell silent.

The cane is a soft, pale pink color, with a bright yellow star embedded in the openwork circular decoration on the head, and a small white wing on each side of the ring.

It's exactly the same as the Star Cane I remember, except the cane part is a bit wider.

Lu Sheng tried to pull it out and discovered that it was actually a knife, but the scabbard was shaped like a cane. Several exquisite patterns were engraved on the blade near the hilt.

A cat's head, a dog's head, and a pig's head.

There's a sunflower at the very bottom.

She suddenly remembered that Xu Yi had asked her some time ago if her knife was broken.

"Waaah, Teacher Xu, he really... I'm crying my eyes out!"

"Teacher Xu, please don't love her too much!"

Zhuangzhuang stared at the cat head on the blade that looked almost exactly like his own, and couldn't help but meow excitedly. It was carved into the blade!

Lu Sheng gripped the knife handle and rummaged through the box, pulling out a neatly folded piece of paper.

The flowing strokes of the brush are powerful and penetrating, depicting only a few simple characters.

"Given to Lu Sheng, who is eight years old."

The already blurred memories surged in like a train.

When they first ate roasted lamb skewers in the dormitory, she once said that she was crazy about Cardcaptor Sakura when she was a child, and when she was eight years old, she saw a ballpoint pen in a stationery store that looked like the Star Cane and refused to leave.
