At noon, Banxia finally got to eat the crispy pork and hot pot she had been craving, while Jinzi and Yinzi watched with envy. If animals could evolve into humans, they might do everything in their power to become human in the shortest amount of time just to get a bite of something delicious.

The only downside to eating hot pot is that the smell lingers. If you don't wash your hair, take a shower, or do your clothes, the smell can last for three whole days.

The two took a nap for an hour and a half, and after waking up and taking a shower, they left the space hand in hand.

Banxia pulled out her tablet, ready to find a movie to pass the time: "Which movie is good?"

Nanxing leaned over to look together: "What kind of movie do you want to watch?"

"Suitable for couples?"

Nanxing looked around for a while and finally chose an old movie: "This one, 'Flipped'."

We said we'd enjoy the movie, but less than half an hour into the film, Banxia fell asleep leaning against Nanxing.

Nanxing chuckled and tucked her into bed, turned off the movie, and edited the zombie movie he had filmed earlier under the small lamp, even though Banxia had already forgotten about it.

The rain was pouring down, the raindrops pounding against the walls and windows, making a lot of noise, but Nanxing felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

It doesn't matter if the villa is gone, it doesn't matter if he has no fixed abode, his home is not a house, but the place where Banxia is.

"Knock knock knock!"

There was a knock at the door. Nanxing subconsciously looked at Banxia and saw that she was breathing evenly and sleeping peacefully. She breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He opened the door, and there stood Li Kongyuan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and Du Jia, who had returned to the base that morning looking for rescue.

Li Kongyuan happily extended his right hand: "Nanxing..."

“Sorry, my wife is sleeping,” Nanxing quickly shook his hand and lowered his voice, “Let’s go talk over there.”

Li Kongyuan was slightly taken aback, then lowered his voice as well: "I'll go call Su Yao and Cai Yuan."

He had seen many couples betray each other and even fight over interests this year. It was rare to see couples like Nanxing and Banxia who were inseparable and whose relationship was not affected at all. He couldn't help but feel envious.

Gold has a price, but love is priceless. To have such a sincere person in one's life is truly worth dying for.

A blurry figure appeared in his mind, but Li Kongyuan blinked and chased it away. Now was not the time to think about such things.

Nanxing, Su Yao, and Cai Yuan exchanged glances. Li Kongyuan had probably come to them again to persuade them to join the base.

As they expected, Li Kongyuan did indeed come with this purpose in mind; otherwise, he would have been so busy all day that he wouldn't have had any free time to simply catch up with them.

However, Li Kongyuan did not immediately start to persuade them. Instead, he inquired about their current situation in a roundabout way before asking, "Your home has been destroyed. Where do you plan to go next?"

Su Yao said straightforwardly, "We plan to travel to mountains, rivers, lakes and seas and experience the beautiful scenery of our motherland."

Li Kongyuan's lips twitched. If it weren't for Su Yao's sincere expression and Nan Xing and Cai Yuan's convinced demeanor, he would have almost blurted out, "Are you out of your mind?"

He struggled to find the words: "There are zombies everywhere now, and in some places, there are even hordes of mutated animals appearing. Isn't it unsafe for you to be running around like this?"

It's the apocalypse, why doesn't he find a place to hide? Has his brain been eaten by zombies?

“But where is there any place that is absolutely safe these days?” Su Yao shrugged. “Since all crows are black, we might as well travel around while we’re young. When we’re old, we’ll have something to brag about to our kids, telling them stories of their dad’s adventures when he was young.”

The more he thought about it, the cooler it seemed. He excitedly grabbed Nanxing and Cai Yuan, saying, "Nanxing, Yuan-ge, I have a camera. Remember to remind me to turn it on when we leave, so that the kids won't be left without evidence if they think I'm lying."

Nanxing and Cai Yuan couldn't help but tremble. Good heavens, Su Yao actually had this kind of intention?

I don't know what he's thinking. There's no child yet, but he's already making all the plans for the future!

Li Kongyuan felt that Su Yao was seriously ill, so he abandoned him and focused on persuading Nanxing and Cai Yuan: "Nanxing, Cai Yuan, you and your loved ones have gone through so much hardship to be together, there is absolutely no need to take risks for a moment of excitement."

"At least your personal safety is guaranteed at our base, and I assure you that once you join, as long as you don't do anything harmful to the people, promotions and raises will be easy."

He didn't even bother with hints, but instead blatantly offered enticement: "Before the apocalypse, I was just the deputy director of the Security Bureau, but in just one year, I've become the head of a base with a population of six million. I happen to be short two loyal and capable deputies, and I think you two have a good chance of competing for the position after some training."

He looked at Nanxing and Cai Yuan with confidence. Men are born ambitious; who can refuse power that is within their grasp?

However, both Nanxing and Cai Yuan refused, shaking their heads in unison: "Sorry, we just want to stay with our loved ones and live our peaceful lives right now. We have no interest in making achievements."

Li Kongyuan couldn't understand their thinking at all: "Do you even know what you're rejecting?"

Nanxing said sincerely, "I know, but nothing is more important to me than spending time with my wife."

Cai Yuan quietly replied, "Me too."

If they value power and status more than feelings, there's no way they would retire at the height of their popularity.

Li Kongyuan was so angry that his lips trembled. He pointed at the two of them and cursed, "You two are hopeless, love-struck idiots!"

Su Yao crossed his arms and coldly stood up for his brother: "Oh, so you're getting angry because you were rejected? Is this the kind of mentality a base leader with millions of people under his command has?"

His face was full of sarcasm. "So what if we're love-struck? We don't cause trouble for anyone, we haven't done anything harmful to the people or society, and we haven't eaten a single grain of rice from your house. Why are you meddling in our business?"

"I will stab people." A chilling voice sounded from behind.

Without thinking, Su Yao retorted, "If you want me to stab someone, I'll stab you to death, you meddlesome bastard."

He snapped back to his senses, turned around, and saw Banxia silently standing behind him, knife in hand.

Su Yao chuckled dryly: "Oh, it's Banxia. You're awake?"

"No," Banxia yawned, leaning against Nanxing's chest as he leaned against her. "I was woken up."

She frowned at Li Kongyuan, her eyes clearly saying, "If you dare to say another word, I'll chop you up."

Du Jia broke out in a cold sweat instantly, took a few steps forward, grabbed Li Kongyuan's dark-faced face, and kept apologizing: "I'm so sorry, our base commander values ​​talent, so he was a little harsh with his words. He meant you no harm..."

He gradually fell silent under Banxia's cold gaze, and guiltily pulled Li Kongyuan away.
