ah!

Inside the research institute, Qin Xiaoru was strapped to an experimental table, her body covered in tubes.

She was awakened by the pain, and when she saw the liquid flowing into her body through the tube, she was terrified.

"Dr. Li, Dr. Li, please spare me. I can do anything for you. Please let me go this time."

Li Boqing, who was recording data, didn't even look up. His assistant stepped forward and stuffed Qin Xiaoru's mouth with a gag.

As the liquid continued to enter her body, Qin Xiaoru felt as if all her bones were being shattered. The pain made her wish she could die immediately.

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her die."

After recording the data, Dr. Li gave his assistant a brief instruction and then left.

Before, he could still give Qin Xiaoru some freedom because of the mutated child. But now that the child is gone, Qin Xiaoru is no different from a dog in his eyes.

Qin Xiaoru faced the darkest moment of her life in the laboratory.

After leaving the woods, Qin Su went to find Fang Ao.

After arriving in Wancheng, Fang Ao has been busy with battle plans.

Li Boqing's research institute was more than just a simple one. They hesitated to attack for fear of affecting the survivors.

But upon hearing that Li Boqing had made a move against Qin Su, he immediately sent men to be stationed outside the resort.

"Susu, don't worry, I will never let anyone take your resort away!"

Fang Ao took the pills Qin Su gave him and felt that his previous hidden injuries had healed considerably. Now, he felt even more affectionate towards Qin Su.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Fang."

Qin Su brought 100 jin of meat. Although it wasn't much, it was definitely a precious resource in the apocalypse.

After Fang Ao led his army into Wancheng, they had already run out of meat. Now, seeing meat made their eyes widen.

"Su Su, you should take this meat back. These are all rough men here, it doesn't matter what they eat. You're weak, so you can keep this meat and eat it slowly."

Although she was drooling with envy, she still pushed the meat back.

"Uncle Fang, the resort has plenty of meat. We only had this much this time because it was inconvenient to carry it all. Next time, you can have someone come to the resort to get the meat."

Qin Su was very generous to these people who truly protected the world.

"real?"

Fang Ao still couldn't quite believe it; this was meat, after all, and there wasn't much meat even on top.

"Of course it's true."

"But this is only for Uncle Fang and you guys; there's definitely no one else who can have some."

She would give her own flesh to the army, but she would never give it to anyone else.

"You little rascal, you're so cunning. Don't worry, your Uncle Fang isn't that unethical as to reveal that you're pregnant."

He was a soldier, but he wasn't stupid either.

The survivors are pitiful, but those pitiful people can also become hateful. In a time of scarcity, anyone who has food is a thorn in one's side, let alone meat.

"Yes, I knew Uncle Fang was reliable."

Qin Su blinked. In her previous life, she thought soldiers were sometimes quite pedantic.

They swore to protect the survivors, but those survivors, after being rescued, divided the severely wounded soldiers among themselves.

Soldiers have a mission, but while carrying out their missions, they must also protect themselves.

After all, only by living can more good people live on.

However, judging from the team led by Fang Ao, they don't seem to be so rigid. Hopefully, they can persevere in the apocalypse.

Qin Su wanted to leave, but Fang Ao insisted that she stay for dinner.

"If your fifth uncle knew I was having dinner with you, he'd be insanely jealous."

Thinking that his friend would be angry, Fang Ao laughed out loud without any restraint.

Qin Su: ……

Actually, she wasn't that close to her fifth uncle.

Although I've spoken with Liu Xuan a few times, it seems like our relationship isn't that deep.

"Your fifth uncle is a research fanatic. It's just that he felt very guilty for not being able to predict the apocalypse in advance, so even though he was very ill, he still insisted on working."

Through Fang Ao's words, Qin Su gradually learned about her fifth uncle.

A research fanatic obsessed with science.

She wondered if she could get results faster if she studied the mutated genes with her fifth uncle.

However, my fifth uncle is currently in Kyoto, which is several provinces away from Wancheng, so it would be quite difficult to meet him. For now, let's just forget about it.

After the meal, Fang Ao grew to like Qin Su even more and said he wanted to recognize her as his goddaughter.

Fang Ao was a proud and aloof person who never got too close to anyone. But when he saw Qin Su, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Qin Su felt that having a godfather like Fang Ao seemed to greatly increase her safety, so she directly offered him tea.

"Godfather, please have some tea."

Fang Ao happily accepted the tea and pulled out a knife from his body that could cut through iron like mud.

"These are the spoils of war from your godfather's first battle, and now I'm passing them on to you."

Qin Su drew his knife, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Qin Su slashed at the metal motorcycle again, instantly creating a large hole in it.

"Thank you, godfather!"

Qin Su put away the knife and, with the people Fang Ao had sent to protect her, returned safely to the resort.

"Young Miss, are you alright?"

Mo Rongguang checked on Qin Su out of habit and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she was alright.

“Miss, if you have anything to do, just let someone else do it. You are the backbone of the resort, you need to stay home and keep watch.”

He didn't mention that the young lady was unwell, afraid that it would upset her.

"Uncle Mo, I'm really fine. With Huo Sijin, Li Tang, and my brothers, no one can hurt me."

"Oh, right, these are all soldiers sent by Uncle Fang to guard the resort. I'll have to trouble Uncle Mo to make the arrangements next."

Since they were now considered one of their own, Qin Su thought of arranging for them to eat and stay together at the resort, but the soldiers refused.

"The captain has ordered us to remain outside the resort!"

The group lined up and stood guard in place.

"Aunt Zhi, please prepare some food for them."

People have gone to such lengths to protect them, so they can't be neglected. They need to be given enough nutrition so they have the strength to fight, right?

"Don't worry, Miss, Aunt Zhi knows everything."

Now that the resort has crops and livestock, and the warehouse supplies have been replenished, Xu Jingzhi truly feels that there is hope for the future.

In the apocalypse, who else can be like them, with food at home and no worries about food and drink?

Being able to follow the young lady is definitely a blessing from our ancestors.

Xu Jingzhi entered the kitchen and led everyone in getting busy.

To entertain guests, meat is essential. So she went to the warehouse and brought out a lot of frozen pork, frozen chicken, and frozen beef.

Braised pork belly, braised chicken, beef soup...

The delicious aroma wafted all the way to the doorway, and the well-trained soldiers couldn't help but sniff it.

It smells so good!
