Wufeng spoke again: "I spent more than four months with Xilang. After the apocalypse began, all I could do was eat with zombies and animals. Before you came, Xilang was the only person who could talk to me and eat and sleep with me every day. Although I knew that he might leave one day, perhaps by zombies or disease, I never thought he would leave in this way. I feel a little uneasy."

Ji Lin'an nodded: "We didn't expect this either. People can't be brought back to life, so don't think too much about it."

Xi Lang looked up at Ji Lin'an and smiled: "I'm fine. In this chaotic world, you have to be prepared to accept the departure of those around you at any time."

I looked at Wufeng and shouted, "You still have us now. From now on, we'll be your friends who you spend every day with."

Wu Feng smiled and said, "Yes, you are all my friends."

After waiting for almost an hour without seeing Xu Qi, Ji Lin'an and Wu Feng simply lay down on the sofa for a nap. I slept for a while in the car and wasn't sleepy. Feeling a bit bored, I opened my phone to browse the internet and suddenly saw Jiang Kexin among the people nearby. I immediately sent Jiang Kexin a message: We've arrived in G City and are in the shelter.

A few minutes later, Jiang Kexin called directly. I saw that Ji Lin'an and Wufeng were fast asleep, so I hung up the phone and sent Jiang Kexin a message: I can't answer the phone, just send a message.

Jiang Kexin replied: Where are you now?

I replied: They're in the break room, saying they'll wait for the assessment.

Jiang Kexin sent a nodding emoji: Yes, we also had an assessment done when we arrived, and we waited for more than three hours. How long have you been here?

I replied: I've been here for over an hour.

Jiang Kexin said: It's still early. Have you, Ji Lin, An Qianliyan, and that little girl all arrived yet?

I sent a nodding emoji: Yeah, everyone's here. What about you guys? When did you arrive?

Jiang Kexin said: You came over a few days after you left.

I asked curiously, "Where's Chen Hu? Did he come with you?"

Jiang Kexin said: He came over. After you left, he disappeared for two days. Just when I had decided to come to G City, he suddenly appeared again. He didn't say anything and helped me bring my luggage and take care of the child.

I said: That's good, Chen Hu is a real man.

Jiang Kexin replied with a smiling emoji, and I continued to ask: How is life in the shelter?

Jiang Kexin said: It's not bad. The food and accommodation are quite good. Every day, there are volunteer survivors who run some fitness classes. Sometimes when Chen Hu helps me take care of the child, he will let me go and exercise with him, which is like postpartum recovery.

I replied: Have you noticed anything unusual?

Jiang Kexin replied: No, everything is normal. The survivors and staff here are all very easy to get along with.

I replied: That's good. By the way, what about Zhu Chen? Are you still in contact?

Jiang Kexin was silent for a while before replying: "Chen Hu was just here. I'm coming out now. After you left, Zhu Chen contacted me once. He sounded very weak. He confirmed the child's situation with me, and I told him the truth. He told me to wait for him, that he would come to pick me and the child. I can wait, but the child can't. After that, Zhu Chen disappeared."

Me: When he contacted you, did he say where he was or who he was with?

Jiang Kexin said: No. The baby is crying, I'll go feed her first. Contact me after you've arranged the accommodations.

After replying "okay," I turned off my phone. I checked the time and estimated that I would have to wait for more than an hour, so I changed my position and closed my eyes to rest.

I slept until my whole body felt weak before I woke up. I saw Ji Lin'an and Wu Feng sitting quietly with their brows furrowed, while Qianliyan was pacing back and forth in the room. I asked in confusion, "Why do you all have such expressions?"

The all-seeing creature walked up to me and said, "Sister, you're sleeping so soundly. Do you even know how much time has passed?"

I shook my head and glanced at my phone. Five hours had passed since we entered the rest room, meaning I had slept for more than three hours. I frowned and said, "I contacted Jiang Kexin before I went to sleep. She said their assessment only took three hours. It's been five hours already, why isn't the assessment finished yet?"

With a look of anxiety, Qianliyan said, "Yes, we've been knocking on the door for quite a while, but no one has come."

I tried to reassure them, "Don't worry, it's probably because we have a lot of people that the assessment is taking longer."

With a look of utter disappointment, Qianliyan said, "You really have a big heart."

I smiled and looked at Qianliyan: "I think you'd only feel at ease if Ji Lin'an said those words."

Qianliyan seemed about to say something, but seeing my expression, he swallowed his words and quickly walked to the sofa, half-lying down: "Never mind, just get me some food, I'm hungry."

I looked at Qianliyan with some wariness: "Isn't there food on the table?"

Qianliyan wanted to argue, but after seeing my gaze again, he chose to shut up and stopped shouting. He quietly went to the tea table, took a piece of bread, and ate it.

Half an hour later, Xu Qi finally opened the door. He entered with an unfriendly smile and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. There were quite a few survivors coming to seek refuge today, so there were some problems arranging accommodations, but it's resolved now. Come on, I'll take you there."

Qianliyan looked dejected and muttered something under his breath. I stepped forward and gently bumped into him. Qianliyan sullenly took two steps away from me. I quickly caught up with Xu Qi and walked side by side. I asked, "Brother Xu, have you seen the two girls who came with us? Where did they go?"

Without a second thought, Xu Qi blurted out, "I didn't see it, I don't know, don't ask me."

Seeing that I couldn't get any information, I slowed down and waited for Ji Lin'an to come to my side. Xu Qi led us onto the shuttle bus in the park, and a few minutes later we arrived in front of a building that was lit up. I looked up and saw that almost every room was lit up, and then I realized that it was already dark. We hadn't eaten lunch or dinner. I went up to Xu Qi again and asked, "Brother Xu, how do you get food here?"
