The other person ignored her and turned away.

Xu Lin took out her phone from her pocket, pulled up Youyou's photo, and handed it to the homeless man.

The previously indifferent homeless man finally reacted. He immediately snatched the phone and stared at Youyou, who was smiling brightly in the photo.

"Where...is it...?"

The homeless man spoke with difficulty, indicating that he hadn't spoken in a long time.

"Half an hour. Get ready and come with us. We'll take you to see her."

Xu Lin put her phone away and turned to walk towards the parking lot.

Just ten minutes after Xu Lin and Zhou Pin returned to the car, the homeless man, who had tidied himself up, came over with a bag on his back. It was Zheng Ming.

“I have something else in another place,” Zheng Ming said.

"Give me directions," Xu Lin said, starting the car.

Zheng Ming led them to an inconspicuous house. Before the apocalypse, it should have been an urban village, but now it was even more dilapidated, with only a few broken tiles to prove that there used to be a building here.

Zheng Ming got out of the car, walked through the rubble, and came to the back of the building, where he began to dig stones with his bare hands.

Xu Lin didn't want him to waste time like this, so she took two shovels from her spatial storage and gave them to Zhou Pin, asking him to go down and help.

Half an hour later, the two carried various supplies out of the ruins: compressed biscuits, clothes, blankets, water, etc. Xu Lin checked that no one was around and quickly got out of the car and opened the car door.

"They've really managed to stock up! Luckily, they came in a truck," Xu Lin muttered.

It was almost noon when they finished moving everything. Zhou Pin drove, and Xu Lin took out rice balls and water and handed them to Zheng Ming. The three of them ate as they drove on.

They could use spatial manipulation to cheat their way here, but they had to take a detour to get back. It took them three days to get there, and they hardly saw any living people along the way. Zheng Ming also told Xu Lin and Zhou Pin about his experiences during this period.

“After you left, conflicts frequently broke out at the base, even injuring ordinary survivors. We couldn’t continue our work, so we left.”

"The sea is to the east, so we can only go west. We don't have any destination in mind; we'll just stop wherever it looks right."

"Later, there was another natural disaster, and we were taken in by a private base. We planned to stay there... Wang Jing, Wang Jing went with the private base manager, and all the supplies were left to us. My parents and I left the private base."

"Later, the private base manager moved the base away, saying he was going to join the official base. Before he left, Wang Jing met with me, and we, we..."

"My parents and I continued walking aimlessly, stopping wherever there were supplies. Even without supplies, we wouldn't go hungry, as we had a lot stored up before."

“Even though we kept a low profile, we were still targeted by a group of people. My parents were killed by them while trying to save me. I killed them all to avenge them, but what good did it do? My parents will never come back. They didn’t die from a natural disaster, but from a man-made one.”

“You still have a daughter,” Xu Lin said.

“Yes, I also have a daughter! Can you tell me about her?” Zheng Ming immediately perked up when his daughter was mentioned.

"Her nickname is Youyou. We will raise her together with Sun Wei's family. We hope she will grow up carefree. We'll wait for you to choose her formal name."

"She is a very sensible girl. She never cries, makes a fuss, or is picky about food."

“She is now ten months old and can walk while holding onto things.”

"Thank you. Although I know those two words won't solve anything, thank you anyway. All my supplies are yours, I..."
