"A few days ago. Twenty or thirty people went, and half of them were injured."

"Oh, I remember now. That day I was out for a stroll and saw a group of people dressed in tattered clothes walking towards the base hospital. I thought they had been fighting, but it turned out they were just out hunting. If I had known, I would have followed them to see if they needed any help."

"I didn't expect the base to be so great. They even went hunting so that we could have a good New Year. I suddenly feel so happy."

"Yes, it's fortunate that I insisted on coming back back then, otherwise I'm afraid I would have had a hard life outside."

"Yes, that's right. Our base guards are all excellent, and Wen Mengguan is also a good leader."

The conversation stopped there because the TV program had changed.

To be honest, the program arrangement by the Imperial Capital was quite thoughtful. They didn't reveal everything on the list; they even omitted things like nuts and fresh fruit.

After all, once the supplies are distributed, it's understandable that the base leaders would like to improve the living conditions of their personnel. As long as they don't swallow it all up.

Therefore, most viewers are still grateful for the efforts made by the Imperial Capital. Li Sikai also gained a lot of faith points as a result.

He stood on the small hill that appeared during the last upgrade of the space, watching the wonderful song and dance performance on the stage in the distance, and was overjoyed.

However, not everyone was in a good mood. For example, at a base in a few remote areas, people on the upper floors of the base stared at the television screen with ashen faces, trembling like leaves.

They thought that once the people in the capital gave them the goods, they wouldn't care anymore, given the poor communication these days. But who knew that the people in the capital would be so unscrupulous, actually making this public. For the sake of a few hundred pounds of meat, they ruined their futures.

The base residents were initially full of praise for the dinner, but when they heard that other places had meat while they only had stewed vegetables, they were furious and demanded an explanation from the base's higher-ups.

What could the base leadership do? They could only promise to make up for it tomorrow. They couldn't very well launch a major attack; that would only compound their crime.

Although it ended peacefully, it significantly damaged his public credibility. If only he hadn't been so greedy in the first place. Ultimately, it's a difficult situation for everyone.

Although these high-ranking officials had some reservations about General Li, they had to admit that he genuinely served the survivors. They, on the other hand, were somewhat self-serving and couldn't compare.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan enjoyed their delicious meal and watched Cola's program, feeling that life was pretty good.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two of them took out the grape wine stored in their space and poured themselves a glass to enjoy. An'an and Nuannuan also imitated their parents, holding their wine glasses with their little fingers, except that the liquid in their glasses was replaced with baby water and grape juice.

Hmm, they look pretty much the same color, they're quite good at fooling people.

"Cheers!" The four raised their glasses and clinked them together, the crisp sound of the glass hitting the glass drowned out by their cheerful laughter.

The program on the tablet was still playing. The couple cleaned up the dishes before sitting back down on the sofa to continue watching the show.

An'an and Nuannuan are young and active during the day, so they get very sleepy around 9 pm.

The couple wiped their hands and feet clean, tucked them into bed, and then went back to the living room to chat.

"Have you noticed that last year was pretty peaceful? Apart from the low temperatures, there were no other crises."

"Hmm, it seems that the entire planet has become more stable after the tsunami. Hopefully, it's not a hidden crisis waiting for the right moment to erupt."

Bi Qiaoan chuckled: "I'm afraid your hope will not come true."

Shen Yanming knew this too, but it was just a beautiful vision, wasn't it?

"I'm worried that it will be even colder this year. If the temperature continues to drop, we may not only lose summer, but spring and autumn may also disappear. At that time, we will have entered the Little Ice Age."

"If humans can gradually adapt to the decreasing temperature, what about plants and animals? I worry that if the temperature gets too low, crops like wheat and rice will not even be able to ripen. In that case, humanity will face a desperate situation."

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. The course of things here is completely unpredictable, unlike in our previous life. Oh, no, I can't say that. In our previous life, we only spent three years in the apocalypse, but in this life, seven years have already passed. I wonder when this apocalypse will finally be over."

"God knows. If it weren't for this secret weapon of space, we might not have made it this far."

"Yes, that's right, we should be grateful." The two looked at the space filled with plants by Li Sikai and said with emotion.

"Do you think we should secretly take out some food, like we did back in Su City? Li Sikai... we seem to be a bit too heartless."

Shen Yanming tightened his grip on Bi Qiaoan's hand and shook his head: "We haven't reached the end of our rope yet, so don't act rashly. Even if we want to help them in the future, we have to find the right opportunity."

Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "I was just saying. Hehe, we really can't learn from Li Sikai's level of spirit."

“He has General Li as his backer, and his background doesn’t allow him to keep anything to himself. To be honest, if his uncle hadn’t been in that position, Li Sikai might not have revealed the matter of the space.”

Hearing this, Bi Qiaoan frowned: "Tell me, why is the space that Li Sikai created different from Yuan Ruoxi's?"

"It's probably because of their different mindsets. Li Sikai is clearly someone who's destined for great things. Just like the space upgrade, it requires him to do good deeds and absorb faith points."

"Do you think the space will upgrade if we do good deeds?"

Shen Yanming didn't know what to say. He chuckled and shook his head, saying, "It's not like we haven't done good deeds before, but have you seen the space upgrade?"

“No,” Bi Qiaoan said matter-of-factly. “It’s just that the mountain inside hasn’t been revealed yet, which makes it inconvenient to operate it with my mind.”

Shen Yanming knew this too, but they were helpless. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Perhaps, we need some kind of energy body. Like energy rain, which can directly cause a major change in space."

Bi Qiaoan sighed, feigning helplessness, "That's truly a rare and precious opportunity."

After saying that, the couple stopped talking. They leaned together and refocused their attention on the tablet.

The Spring Festival Gala was coming to an end, and everyone was smiling as they sang the closing song together.

But the song stopped abruptly halfway through.

The couple paused for a moment, looking at the panicked expressions on everyone's faces on the screen, before quickly focusing their attention.

Li Sikai ran down the hill, saying as he ran, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry."
