Su Tao took a step back: "Sorry to bother you, I'll leave now."

As she spoke, she opened the system and saw the word "teleport" in the upper right corner of the Taoyang map.

Just as she was about to click, Shi Zijin took two steps over and grabbed her wrist:

"Explain? Is this your problem, or Zhou Hai and Zhou Yang's?"

Su Tao answered smoothly: "My question."

She didn't explain what the problem was, nor could she explain it.

Shi Zijin took a deep breath and said, "Don't tell me you can come back here anytime."

Su Tao said: "That's the theory, calm down."

"I can't stay calm. Here in Panliu Mountain, there are not only convoys traveling between major bases with their interests at heart, but also wandering survivors with no sense of morality, vicious outlaws, and even cannibalistic zombies. You're always in danger if you come here. Do you understand?"

Su Tao was silent for a moment, then said, "There will be high walls and electric fences here, just like in Taoyang. Even if there is real danger, I will be back in Taoyang in the blink of an eye. You don't have to worry."

Shi Zijin's nerves calmed down and he asked:

"What are you doing here?"

Su Tao said: "Come and take a look and you will know. The elevator to the mountain is over here."

As he spoke, he led him to the elevator next to the abandoned garage. After waiting for two seconds, the elevator door opened.

As the elevator slowly ascended, Shi Zijin suddenly spoke:

"You can build Panliu Mountain like Taoyang, right? The last time I came here, there was no elevator."

Su Tao nodded.

When the elevator door opened again, we had reached the top of the mountain, and what came into view was an unfinished two-story building.

"There wasn't a platform like this on this mountain before. Did you build it?"

Su Tao nodded again and pointed at the unfinished building and said:

"I want to build a hotel here and provide daily rental services. On the one hand, I want to make some money from passers-by. On the other hand, I hope that every time you go on a mission, you can have a comfortable place to stay, just like in Taoyang."

"Also, I have the same absolute management authority here as Tao Yang. No one who enters here can harm me."

"Okay, I have to go back quickly, otherwise Zining and Lin Fangzhi will be worried if they find out I'm missing."

Shi Zijin said nothing more: "Go ahead."

Su Tao turned her head to look at him: "Are you relieved?"

Shi Zijin answered truthfully: "I am 80% relieved."

"What's the other 20%?"

"I've never given up on you."

Su Tao sighed: "Major General Shi, worrying too much will make you old."

Shi Zijin shook his head: "Getting old isn't scary. What's scary is having no one to protect you when you're old. Okay, go back now. I'll watch over you."

I clicked "Teleport" again, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Lin Fangzhi, who was like a headless fly.

Su Tao shouted at him: "Fang Zhi! Here!"

When Lin Fangzhi heard her voice, he immediately turned around and ran over with Xue Dao.

He looked at Su Tao, his face full of fear:

"Why, it's gone!"

He rarely spoke so many words in one breath, and it was obvious that he was really anxious.

Su Tao patted him on the back: "I was wrong, don't worry, I'll say hello to you before I disappear next time."

As I was patting the child, I suddenly realized that the child was not so thin anymore and I could feel some flesh on him.

Looking at his little face again, it is indeed much fuller than before.

This trip out actually made him gain some weight!

It turns out that she looks better when she is a little fatter. Her facial features are much more refined and she looks more delicate.

Su Tao was very satisfied and decided to give him some more nourishment during her return.

Guan Zining had almost arranged everything and didn't even notice that Su Tao had disappeared for a few minutes.

She came over with a relaxed look on her face and put her arm around Su Tao's shoulder:

"After we're done, let's go back to Taoyang first. I haven't had a proper bath in the past half month."

Su Tao came back quietly, not wanting to make such a big fuss.

Just as I arrived at the office building, I heard Zhuang Wan talking to someone on the phone, and her tone was not very good:

"Boss Gu, what do you mean?"

"Literally, the fact that the pioneer army sent back the ashes of eight people means they encountered a large-scale zombie attack on the way. As Su Tao's capable subordinate, you don't even know whether she is safe. I am really disappointed."

Zhuang Wanqi's voice trembled, and she tried to remain polite:

"Although I don't know her situation, I'm sure she's safe. If you want to know the details, why don't you call her yourself? What do you mean by calling me and questioning me?"

Su Tao pushed the door open and came in.

Zhuang Wan, who was on the phone, was stunned. Her anger instantly subsided and her eyes began to redden: "Boss, you're back."

At the same time, the call was instantly disconnected.

Su Tao asked her: "Gu Mingchi?"

Zhuang Wan's heart was choked with anger: "Yes, I don't know where he got my number. He asked me about your situation. I said I didn't know, and then he started to scold me."

Su Tao was speechless: "Ignore him, he's crazy."

Zhuang Wan reached out and hugged her. "You're finally back. Although Taoyang is fine, I'm worried every day you're out there. Aunt Cen and Elder Mei keep asking me when you'll be back. Yes, I have to go tell them."

Less than half an hour later, everyone in Taoyang knew the news of Su Tao's return.

Not only did some people call to check on her, but some even went to the office building to see her. Only after confirming that she really had no missing arms or legs did they feel relieved.

Dinner was eaten in Old Mei's room. Grandma Cen cooked and used her own homemade ingredients to make braised spare ribs and chicken soup, and even fried a plate of lettuce.

Lin Fangzhi had never eaten these things before. He stared at them blankly, saliva gradually secreting from his mouth.

Grandma Cen was very happy and urged enthusiastically, "Good boy, eat quickly."

Lin Fangzhi looked at Su Tao, and after getting her approval, he started to eat with relish.

Everyone had a hearty meal, and after they dispersed, Su Tao stayed a little longer to catch up with Black Sesame and White Sesame, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

When Bai Zhima saw her, he didn't know if she was still sulking. He sniffed her twice and then hid under the coffee table, staring at her with his big eyes, refusing to let her hug him.

Heizhima rubbed against her and asked Su Tao to play with it.

After licking the black sesame seeds, Xuedao went under the table and picked up the white sesame seeds and licked them to express his longing for her.

Mr. Mei laughed out loud and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction of having his daughter by his side.

Su Tao asked him, "How do your legs feel?"

Mr. Mei said, "Pay attention and I'll show you one."

He held on to the armrest of the wheelchair and stood up tremblingly.

Liu Panpan looked worried and wanted to help him, but he refused. He insisted on standing for three seconds and gave Su Tao a naughty smile:

"How about it?"

Liu Panpan quickly helped him sit down.

Su Tao gave him a thumbs up: "You are this."
