Chapter 29 The Birth of the Star Base

Lin Xiyue knew that they had worked hard all day to ensure the safety of the valley entrance, so Lin Xiyue and Gu Qinghan had already prepared a rich dinner for their teammates.

Lin Xiyue prepared six dishes tonight: sweet and sour pork ribs, grilled lamb chops, fried golden fish, Australian lobster, stir-fried pork belly with kale, steamed eggs with clams, and an old hen soup made with Lingxi water and spiritual medicine.

Seeing the eight of them coming back, Lin Xiyue quickly waved to them and said, "You're back! Dinner is ready! Wash your hands and eat together!"

Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing were already immune to Lin Xiyue's sudden transformation into houses, but they were still a little shocked when they saw two brand new villas with bright lights.

But it was different for Tong Zhuo and the other six. They opened their mouths in shock. When they went outside, there was a meadow, and they were ready to sleep in tents. How come several houses suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

Su Heng couldn't believe her eyes. She closed her eyes, rubbed them, and when she opened them again, she still saw those brightly lit houses.

After Qin Baobao was shocked, he couldn't help but be curious and asked Tong Zhuo, "Headmaster, are we seeing a ghost? Wasn't this originally an empty grassland? How did this house grow out of this?"

"It seems that we followed the right people. Sister Lin and Sister Gu can use magic to transform houses?" Liu Feifei said as if she understood.

Wen Jun disagreed, "Compared to magic, I'm more inclined to believe that Sister Lin has a storage space. It must be Sister Lin's secret. No wonder she only came to us. It seems we haven't fully gained Sister Lin's approval."

Lu Ling also nodded in agreement with Wen Jun's words, "Indeed, I am more inclined to believe that it is just as Wen Jun said. Sister Lin not only has dual-system abilities, but now also has a space-system that can store houses."

Gu Qinghan persuaded, "Okay, aren't you hungry after a busy day? Your sister Lin has already cooked the meal. Sister Lin will tell you about this later. Don't ask too much now. Let's go eat!"

Lin Xiyue chose to cook in the kitchen of the big villa because there was a large dining table here that was big enough to seat ten of them, and most importantly, the kitchen was big enough for them to use.

Tong Zhuo and the others followed Gu Qinghan into the villa and saw Lin Xiyue coming out of the kitchen carrying dishes. They hurried to wash their hands and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes and get bowls to scoop rice. Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing went to get chopsticks.

After a while, the ten of them gathered together to eat. This was their first time eating together. The food was hot and delicious, and every dish was their favorite. The feeling was so familiar, as if they had returned to the days before the end of the world when they were reunited with their families. They would go home every Saturday and Sunday and sit with their parents to eat home-cooked meals.

But the parents of these six girls might not be around anymore, or might have turned into zombies and been killed by people with special abilities. Even though they have special abilities, if Lin Xiyue hadn't saved them and taken them in, they might not have lived much longer...

As they thought about it, they shed tears unconsciously, lowered their heads, and secretly wiped their tears. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Lin Xiyue and Gu Qinghan looked at each other, and Lin Xiyue persuaded: "Okay, let's eat! Is it because my cooking is not delicious for you all to be like this?"

Tong Zhuo wiped away her tears and said with a choked voice, "No, Sister Lin, we just miss home and our parents. The dishes Sister Lin cooks taste a lot like my parents'. I wonder if our parents are still alive?"

Qin Baobao raised her head, wiping away her tears carelessly, and said stubbornly, "Sister Lin's cooking is the most delicious. This is the most sumptuous dinner she has had since the end of the world."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Gu Qinghan and Lin Xiyue looked at each other, then at Ji Yuan. They stood up from their chairs and walked over to them. Gu Qinghan walked over to Qin Baobao and gave her a warm hug. "Since we're alive, we should live well for them."

Lin Xiyue walked between Tong Zhuo and Liu Feifei, hugged them and comforted them, "Everything will be fine. We will be a family from now on."

Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing also followed Lin Xiyue and the others' example, hugging Su Heng and Wen Jun and comforting them: "This will be our home from now on. Let's work together to make it a better home."

Du Luoqing hugged Lu Ling and comforted her, "Indeed, we are all very sad that our family members are no longer with us, but we must also look forward. Perhaps our family members are not dead yet! We still hope to meet them one day."

Lin Xiyue's eyes also reddened slightly. She patted Tong Zhuo and Liu Feifei on the shoulders and said softly, "I know you miss home. This base will be your home from now on. Qinghan, Xiaoyu, Xiaoluo and I are all your sisters. You can tell us anything."

Gu Qinghan also nodded and looked at everyone gently, "Everyone cheer up!"

Hearing this, everyone felt warmed up, and their sadness eased considerably. Qin Baobao sniffed, forced a smile, and said, "Sister Lin is right. We'll be a family from now on! I'm going to eat more of Sister Lin's cooking, keep myself strong, and protect everyone and the base."

The others followed suit and began to devour the food. As they ate, they praised Lin Xiyue's cooking skills, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

After dinner, Lin Xiyue and Gu Qinghan took everyone for a walk around the lake. The four houses faced the clear lake, and fireflies could be seen around the lake at night. It felt like this place was a paradise, completely different from the city outside where zombies were rampant.

Arriving at the exit of the valley, Lin Xiyue saw the results of the eight of their hard work today. This was the only exit of the valley. They built a gate that could accommodate a large truck. Both sides were high walls made of cement concrete, which were six meters high. A 1-meter-high high-voltage power grid was installed on top of the wall, using solar energy to generate electricity. Four high-definition surveillance cameras were also installed on the wall.

"You did a great job indeed. You all worked hard today! Go back and have a rest!" Lin Xiyue praised.

"The six of you should go back to the villa where we had dinner and rest up! I've seen twelve rooms in that villa, so you can stay in whichever one you like!"

"There are all kinds of supplies in the villa, including clothes, underwear, shampoo, shower gel, etc. There are supplies in every room. Okay, your sister Qinghan and I will go back and rest first."

After saying this, Lin Xiyue pulled Gu Qinghan back to 2201. Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing also followed them back to 2202.

After Tong Zhuo saw her four sisters off, she also took her five sisters back to the villa where they had dinner to rest.

They gathered in the lobby on the first floor to absorb the crystal cores collected today. Only after the six of them had absorbed all the crystal cores did they go to choose their own rooms to wash up and rest.

Lin Xiyue named their new base - Star Base. After thinking of the name, she returned to the valley gate and released her ice power to carve the four words "Star Base" on the gate.
