Yifan came over during his July break, bringing with him many flower seeds. By the time he returned to school, the flowerbed in front of the gate was already full of flowers of various colors.

When the temperature dropped in September, Si Yue took Yao Tang back home.

She could go to the mountains to escape the summer heat, but she came to Yan Shi's hometown purely to join in the fun and see the wild animals of Northeast China.

Yan Shi encouraged her to go for a trip to the primeval forest in Northeast China when she had time. With Yao Tang there, she wasn't worried about animals harming her. The charm of the primeval forest was incomparable to that of ordinary groves.

However, Zhuang Zhao was afraid they would get lost, so he didn't allow them to act alone, and the plan had to be put on hold for the time being.

After Yao Tang left, only Catherine remained. Seeing that Catherine showed no intention of leaving, her two assistants rented a house and moved out of Yan Shi's house.

Yan Shi sighed as she looked at the red thread extending from Catherine's ring finger. She thought she would find out the story of the red thread soon, but half a year had passed and the person on the other end of the red thread had never mentioned it once.

If she hadn't been able to see the red thread, she would never have realized that Catherine was troubled by love.

Who could that person be? Si Yue? Or someone she doesn't know?

Once she returns to District Seven, the truth will come out, and no one will be able to escape the eyes of this divine matchmaker.

The temperature is getting colder and colder. The child is still young, so Yan Shi doesn't plan to spend the winter here. She looks at the calendar and plans the day to go back.

She didn't mention this to Zhuang Zhao beforehand. Whether her sudden return was a surprise or a shock to Zhuang Zhao was hard to resist, even for Yan Shi, who dislikes taking risks. It was like opening a blind box.

It's fine not to discuss the return date with Zhuang Zhao, but you have to discuss it with Catherine first.

"I don't care, just do it your way."

"Then let's go on a family trip at the end of September, during the Golden Week holiday in October when Fan is on vacation."

"You're living the good life."

"Of course, I didn't tell Zhuang Zhao that I was going back. Don't tell anyone else either. I want to catch him off guard and see if he's entangled with some pretty girl."

"You look so excited, anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to receive an award."

"Want to embark on a thrilling and exciting journey to catch someone cheating?" Yan Shi raised an eyebrow.

"Who cares about you?"

At the end of September, Yan Shi and Catherine set off back to District 7. Catherine drove an SUV, and her assistant followed behind in a large truck.

I originally thought that if I set off early, I could arrive in a day, but the car broke down halfway, which delayed me for more than two hours. A section of the road was flooded and impassable, and finding another route delayed me for another hour. When the sun was setting, there was still a third of the journey left. Unless I took the night road, I definitely wouldn't be able to get there.

During the day, no one knew what the road conditions were like, so no one dared to take any risks and had no choice but to sleep outdoors.

Fortunately, we've arrived in the south, so it's not so cold at night.

Yan Shi and his female assistant took on the task of keeping watch and guarding the night without having to drive.

Yan Shi was used to a regular sleep schedule, and when it was time to go to bed, he was so sleepy that he simply got out of the car and took a walk, hoping that the wind would help him wake up.

After a while, I felt cold and was about to go back to the car to warm up and put on a blanket when I noticed something approaching.

Unexpectedly, there were strange creatures in this desolate place. Yan Shi didn't wake anyone else, closed the car door, and planned to face the enemy alone.

Soon after, I saw three alien species, which didn't seem very powerful, and they were accompanied by a few zombies.

After weighing his options, Yan Shi took out a machete from the luggage bag on the roof of the car and brandished it a couple of times.

The last time I used a machete was in the spring when I was cutting willow branches and carrying a cane. I don't know if I can still swing it.

The alien species didn't dare to make any rash moves, so they let the zombies test the waters first. Yan Shi didn't even need to use the black hole; he could take down one of their little brothers with a single slash.

The alien clicked its tongue in amazement. A woman who dared to come out alone in the middle of the night was really not someone to mess with, but there weren't enough people this month, so they had to take the risk.

The three huddled together and whispered their battle plan. Yan Shi reached out, and the black hole absorbed the head that had landed. He then picked up the crystal core and put it in his pocket.

She needed to finish quickly; the twins should wake up soon. But she didn't dare stray too far from the car; she had to be wary of any diversionary tactics.

The three aliens kept muttering to themselves, and Yan Shi shivered.

"Are we going to fight or not? You guys aren't cold, but I am. Can you hurry up?" Yan Shi said irritably.

The alien glanced at her and continued discussing.

This was the first time Yan Shi had ever been ignored like this, face to face.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Since her C-section, she couldn't stand the cold. If she stayed out in the wind any longer, she would die without anyone having to lift a finger.

I'd better hug the electric heating pad to warm up.

The moment Yan Shi opened the car door, a figure darted over, brushed past Yan Shi, and got into the car.

Yan Shi was about to give chase when he was stopped by the two alien creatures behind him. Yan Shi was worried about the child, but he couldn't get away.

Catherine was just awakened by the commotion outside. Realizing there were aliens outside, she instinctively reached for her gun in one hand and her scalpel in the other.

Catherine is an ordinary person. When fighting, she has to avoid being bitten. She is not wearing shoes and cannot easily kick. Fortunately, the space inside the car is relatively small, which restricts the movements of the alien. However, it is not easy to hit it, since the alien's body can be twisted into shapes that humans cannot imagine.

Just as Catherine was about to throw the scalpel, the twins woke up, and the alien's attention was immediately drawn to them.

Catherine quickly stepped in front of the twins, and without caring about accuracy, the scalpel flew out immediately, at least to intimidate them.

The scalpel was coated with a drug specifically targeting the alien species, which would immediately paralyze the area where the alien species was stabbed, and the paralysis would spread throughout the body within minutes.

The scalpel missed its target, but it also dispelled the alien species' idea of ​​the twins.

He wouldn't be able to touch the child unless he killed the woman in front of him.

Although the baby's flesh is tender, now is not the time to be picky.

Catherine was worried that the gunshots would damage the twins' hearing, so she didn't dare to fire the guns carelessly. Luckily, she had a good supply of scalpels.

After struggling for another two minutes, Catherine suddenly realized that her body was out of control.

Instead of forcing the aliens away, she turned around and locked the twins' crib.

The crib is fixed to the car and cannot be easily removed. Once locked, it is even less likely that the twins will come into contact with each other unless someone tries to stab them with a knife.

Her vision blurred, and Catherine tried to recall when she had been hit, but the next second she collapsed.

Without the slightest hesitation, the alien picked up Catherine and rushed out, letting out a long howl. The alien that was entangled with Yan Shi also turned and ran away.

Yan Shi immediately turned around to check on the child. After confirming that the child was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief and then realized that Catherine was gone.

First, contact Zhuang Zhao and ask him to locate us as quickly as possible. Then contact Si Yue to see if he can send some people over.

Catherine's assistants are an ordinary person and an alien, respectively, and have little combat ability. Yan Shi felt comfortable entrusting the child to them and only dared to leave the child when Zhuang Zhao or Si Yue's people arrived.

The people arrived faster than she expected. An hour later, the sound of an airplane could be heard overhead. Zhuang Zhao and Si Yue had arrived.

“Catherine has a tracking device and has been given the latest vaccine, so there’s no need to worry too much,” Si Yue reassured her.

How could I not worry? If anything happens to Catherine, it will all be her fault.
