So, Lu Yuan got out of bed, washed up, and changed his clothes.

She was wearing a pure cotton T-shirt and jeans, both of which Xiaoshan had prepared for her.

Lu Yuan put on his clothes and looked in the mirror. He seemed to have aged a lot since he had gone through all of this.

His face had also become somewhat resolute, and the scar on his forehead still bore faint traces, adding a touch of ruthlessness to Lu Yuan's appearance.

Holding Xiaoshan's arm, Lu Yuan realized that there was no one else in the house besides himself and Xiaoshan.

"Huh? Where are our family members?"

Xiao Shan smiled and said, "You don't know yet! My dad is working at the steel factory again! He's now the factory manager of the No. 1 Steel Factory, and your dad has started a decoration studio. He basically lives at the company now. Mom has told me about it many times!"

"And what about your mom and my mom?"

"Haha! Our mom has finally gotten a job at a meat processing plant, and now the two of them are in charge of the plant! They can't be happier!"

"Wow! Goodness, they've all found jobs! They can't stay idle anymore!"

"Yes! We've been restless for ages! Even Grandpa and Grandma have gone out to work!"

"At such an old age, you still can't sit still?"

Lu Yuan was somewhat shocked.

"Yes! Grandpa loves calligraphy and painting, and he teaches calligraphy at a school now. Grandma runs a spinning mill and organizes female workers to do embroidery!"

"Well! It seems that after being idle for so long, no one can get used to it!"

"Yeah! I actually really want to go back to school! But I'm six months pregnant now, so I can't work at all! Sigh! I really miss it!"

"Haha! It's okay, if you still want to go to school after the baby is born, you can go then!"

"Yes, yes! That's what I think too!"

As they talked, the two arrived at the city center.

A huge park square came into view, with pigeons flying back and forth everywhere.

In the very center of the square was a huge fountain pool, from which music played. Lu Yuan didn't know what kind of music it was, but he felt a sense of comfort after hearing it.

The fountain sprayed water continuously, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes rising together and sometimes falling together.

Lu Yuan was momentarily lost in thought, while Xiao Shan, standing to the side, had a smile in her eyes.

"Does it feel like we've gone back to before the apocalypse?"

"Yes! That's right! I never thought... that such a day would come!"

Not only have the buildings been restored to their pre-apocalyptic state, but the people here also behave almost exactly as they did before the apocalypse.

Although there weren't many people in the square, everyone had a satisfied smile on their face.

Such smiles are rarely seen anymore. Although everyone looks exhausted, they are already very content.

This made Lu Yuan feel that everything he had done was worthwhile.

"Let's go inside the mall! It'll be too crowded for us to go in!"

Lu Yuan nodded and helped Xiao Shan walk towards the building across the square.

A huge sign stands atop the shopping mall building, bearing the four characters "Yuanfang Commercial," and nothing else.

The walls were also painted, and the entire building has a silver-gray surface, giving it a very high-tech look.

The building has fifteen floors, with each floor covering an area of ​​approximately 20,000 square meters. Compared to some of the unfinished buildings next to it, this building seems rather small, but as a place for entertainment and leisure, it has attracted a great deal of interest from everyone.

As Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan walked down the street, people would occasionally spot them and offer their gratitude.

Xiao Shan was clearly used to being thanked in public; she simply nodded and smiled.

However, Lu Yuan seemed a bit out of his element. One or two people were fine, but when a group of people came over and brought him water and food, he was caught off guard.

Finally finding a chance to catch his breath, Lu Yuan felt both excited and exhausted.

Xiao Shan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lu Yuan's expression.

"It seems you're still not quite used to it!"

Lu Yuan sighed, "I didn't expect everyone to treat me with such respect. I've never received this kind of treatment before. Sigh! They're being a little too enthusiastic!"

"Haha! You'll get used to it! I hardly ever go out, because I'm afraid of encountering this kind of situation, but it should get better with time!"

"Hmm! I hope so. Actually, it would be better if it were like before. I still prefer being unknown."

However, Xiao Shan didn't think so; she felt very proud to be with Lu Yuan.

"Isn't this good? This is the honor you deserve!"

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "This is a bit overwhelming! I even had the urge to run away just now!"

"Haha! It's alright! Everyone's respect comes from the bottom of their hearts!"

"Hmm! Okay! I'll get used to it! Looks like I haven't been spending enough time in this space!"

Lu Yuan thought for a moment. Since he started helping these people with their living problems, he had basically had no time to live in the space city.

He was constantly shuttling between the office and the outside world, and the pressure was becoming unbearable for him.
