Shen Yanming took the blanket and held it in his arms.

Qi Xili even teased him, "Your equipment is quite complete, what, did you go up there specifically to get it?"

"That's for sure, otherwise what would happen to my baby if he got cold? Every parent loves their child, you don't understand how it feels!"

Qi Xili didn't take it seriously and started arguing with him again. Bi Qiaoan was used to it, but Li Tongtong was dumbfounded.

She looked incredulous and whispered to An'an and Nuannuan, "Is this how Uncle Shen and Uncle Qi usually get along?"

An An and Nuan Nuan nodded firmly.

Li Tongtong patted her chest and whispered, "I have to share this with my dad when I get back; he'll never believe it."

Qi Xili, with sharp ears, turned his head and said in a sinister tone, "What are you sharing? Isn't this how your dad behaves at Yanming's house? If you tell him, how embarrassed will your dad be?" In reality, he wanted to maintain his own image.

Li Tongtong was startled and quickly raised her hand: "I won't say anything more, okay!"

Qi Xili was satisfied, nodding and smiling: "Hmm, not bad, good boy, you have potential!"

Li Tongtong was frightened by his smile, thinking that it was still not too late to run away.

When they got home, the leftover stewed chicken and potatoes was still warm by the fire. Shen Yanming asked, "Are you hungry? Want to eat some more?"

Qi Xili patted his stomach: "It's all digested now. I ran a whole lap around the base, I'm exhausted."

Shen Yanming served him a bowl and also served Li Tongtong a bowl. Li Tongtong hadn't expected to come here to freeload, especially not with such a scarce resource as meat. But when Qi Xili glared at her, she immediately obeyed and didn't even utter a word of refusal.

An'an and Nuan Nuan, on the other hand, shook their heads and said they were full.

"How's the situation? I feel like Area A is alright," Shen Yanming asked as he sat down.

While eating, Qi Xili said, "The magnitude wasn't high, and the buildings here are quite sturdy, so nothing major happened. But in District D, a few households cut corners, their foundations weren't deep enough, and the walls weren't solid enough. Their houses collapsed before the earthquake even started. Fortunately, there weren't many, and Old Li went there to help with the rescue."

Are there any casualties?

"No one died, but a few were injured. They were all single-story houses, so even if they collapsed, they wouldn't cause serious injuries. Unless you're extremely unlucky."

Shen Yanming nodded: "I don't know how an earthquake suddenly happened."

Qi Xili looked up at him but didn't say anything. Li Tongtong listened intently, and when she saw that Qi Xili had stopped talking, she felt quite disappointed.

After finishing the meal, she praised Bi Qiaoan: "Auntie, your cooking is really good. This stewed chicken with potatoes is really delicious."

Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "If you make a lot, take some with you when you leave."

Li Tongtong quickly shook her head: "How can I eat and take things at the same time!"

Shen Yanming gestured to Bi Qiaoan to pack the rest for Li Tongtong. He smiled and said, "Your parents worked hard today. They can just heat this up and eat it when they get home, saving them the trouble of cooking dinner tonight."

Remembering her father's miserable state during previous rescues, Li Tongtong nodded in agreement. She also felt sorry for her parents and knew there was little she could do. Since Uncle Shen was helping, she would take better care of An'an and Nuannuan from now on.

The couple had no idea what Li Tongtong was thinking. After putting the meat in a lunchbox, they placed it next to the stove.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. It was Li Tongtong's mother, Ding Chengyan.

Ding Chengyan was stunned when she saw the lunchbox in her daughter's arms. After learning what had happened, she repeatedly refused to take it back, but Qi Xili said, "It's okay, just take it back. I'll hunt a pheasant for Yanming another day, and that will be my way of returning it."

Ding Chengyan sighed helplessly, thanked the two of them, and then left with Li Tongtong.

After everyone left, Qi Xili said, "News came from the capital that the earthquake affected various parts of Qinghua Kingdom, and it could even be said that the whole world was shaken. However, the magnitude was not that large, and the casualties and economic losses were limited."

Both of them were stunned and hurriedly asked, "Could the next disaster be an earthquake? A large-scale, frequent earthquake? Is this just an appetizer?"

Qi Xili shook his head: "I don't know, even the higher-ups aren't sure. This is inside information, they don't dare to release it to the public, for fear of causing a disturbance."

Just so you two know, but don't go around telling anyone. I'm telling you this so you're mentally prepared, and so you won't sleep too soundly at night, in case of an earthquake, you can escape immediately.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan nodded, indicating that they understood.

An'an and Nuannuan were speechless after hearing this. Qi Xili smiled and patted the two little ones' heads: "You heard that, right?"

The two children nodded.

"If you hear this, keep it a secret for your godfather. Anyone who tells a liar is a dog!"

An An and Nuan Nuan quickly assured each other, "Godfather, we won't tell anyone."

"Okay, godfather believes you!"

That night, after the family of four had fallen asleep, an earthquake struck outside.

Shen Yanming is a light sleeper and woke up immediately. There are many familiar faces around, so it's inconvenient to send the two babies into his spatial dimension. He woke up his wife, and the couple, one baby each, picked up the two children and ran off.

The two of them slept without taking off their clothes, just in case something unexpected happened. An'an and Nuannuan were so dizzy from being tossed around that they only woke up when a cold wind blew, and what they saw was a sky full of stars.

"Daddy, was there another earthquake?" An'an's voice wasn't as soft and sweet as before, but it was still clear and melodious. The little boy, whose voice hadn't changed yet, evoked a strong protective instinct in people.

Shen Yanming patted his son on the back and said softly, "Go to sleep, it's okay, your mother and I are here."

An'an murmured something and fell asleep. Nuannuan opened her eyes, saw that there was no danger, and started snoring softly.

It was the middle of the night, and many people in the building were fast asleep. Some were still awake and getting dressed, so they weren't coming down so quickly.

In September, the temperature can drop below zero at night. We couldn't stand it for more than half an hour and went home.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan also went back with the crowd. However, the two were preoccupied and did not dare to leave the children outside. They took off the clothes of the two babies and sent them directly into their space.

So much so that when An'an and Nuannuan woke up, they both thought they were dreaming. It wasn't until Bi Qiao'an let them out that they realized their parents had made an exception for them.

The two kids were in a good mood and went to school after breakfast. Although the outside environment is unstable, school classes have not stopped.

Bi Qiaoan was quite worried, but Shen Yanming persuaded her, "You have to trust our darling." Only then did she reluctantly agree.

An'an and Nuannuan nodded their little heads and patted their thighs, saying, "Don't worry, Mom. These past two years of training haven't been for nothing. My sister and I are fast runners."

Bi Qiaoan couldn't bear to confine them, so she said, "You two must be careful."

Shen Yanming watched the mother and her two children reluctant to part, and felt like the black lines on his forehead were about to fall off.

He said, "Is it really necessary to go to such lengths? An'an and Nuannuan's classroom is on the first floor. At worst, we can let them sit by the window and jump out the window when an earthquake comes. It's fast and safe."

Bi Qiaoan slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing, "Oh right, I was worried for nothing!"
