After listening to Chen Zhe's words, Gu Qingqing looked at Zhang Haiyi and said softly.

"Brother Yi, thank you for your hard work!"

Zhang Haiyi raised his head and looked at Gu Qingqing.

"It's not hard work, taking care of you is what I should do."

Gu Qingqing recalled the four years she spent with Zhang Haiyi, during which he always took good care of her. He never abandoned her when the apocalypse came.

They survived the apocalypse together and made so many good friends. She was truly happy.

At that moment, she really wanted to marry Zhang Haiyi; she truly meant it.

But when I think about the current environment, I don't know how long they can survive.

She looked up and smiled at Zhang Haiyi.

"Brother Yi, go and rest first. I'm much better now. I was exhausted after a long night. Get some rest."

Before Zhang Haiyi could say anything more, Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng got into the RV and spoke to him.

"Haiyi, go and rest first. We'll take care of Qingqing here. Is there anything you're worried about?"

Zhang Haiyi shook his head and explained.

"How should I reply? I'm very relieved to have you all taking care of Qingqing."

"Then why aren't you going to sleep? What are you waiting for? You need to take care of your own health, otherwise, how will you take care of Qingqing?"

Zhang Haiyi stopped talking, just nodded, said goodbye to them, and went to sleep in the tent.

After Zhang Haiyi left, Zhang Jing noticed Gu Qingqing's little scheme and asked her in a low voice.

"Qingqing, were you thinking about something just now? Is there something you want to tell us?"

Gu Qingqing didn't want to tell them yet, so she shook her head and said to Zhang Jing.

"Okay, I'll let you know if anything happens."

Ye Yunxi walked to Gu Qingqing's side, examined her, and then slowly began to speak.

"The fever has subsided, but you're still a bit weak. Get some rest. We'll rest for another day and set off again tomorrow."

Gu Qingqing smiled and said to Ye Yunxi

"Sister Yunxi, thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for? You're not feeling well but you're still forcing yourself. Don't do that again. If anything happens at Indigo Mall, you have to tell us, okay?"

Ye Yunxi pretended to be angry and tapped Gu Qingqing's forehead.

Gu Qingqing made a face and said.

"I see."

"Alright, rest for a while longer. Have some porridge later to soothe your stomach."

After Ye Yunxi finished speaking, she got out of the RV and went to Lu Hengyi's RV to cook.

Fu Heng also helped Ye Yunxi cook.

Ye Yunxi cooked rice porridge and added some dried shrimp, which they had brought, to make a savory porridge.

She also prepared a few side dishes and asked Chen Zhe to take a bowl of rice porridge to Gu Qingqing.

Zhang Haiyi's portion was also served separately; I'll heat it up for him later.

After doing all that, let Hyun-woo come up and take the food downstairs so we could start eating.

Yunzi gave it canned food and dog food, and said she would give it special treats later.

Ye Yunxi and the others ate while discussing their route.

Half an hour later, after they finished breakfast, Xuan Yu and Lu Hengyi cleaned up the dishes together.

Ye Yunxi returned to the RV and took Gu Qingqing's temperature again; it was normal.

"Qingqing, are you still dizzy?"

"I'm not dizzy anymore, thank you, Sister Yunxi."

"It's okay, you just need to get some rest."

Ye Yunxi chatted with Gu Qingqing for a while in the RV, then told Gu Qingqing to get some rest. She then got out of the RV and went to find Fu Heng.

Ye Yunxi found Fu Heng and saw him looking at a map. She went over and asked him.

"How should we get there tomorrow?"

Fu Heng pointed to the map and said, "We can go here tomorrow. We can visit these places over the next few days, and then wait for news from Min Yu."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Wherever you say we'll go, we'll go."

Time flies. After waking up and eating something, Zhang Haiyi went to take care of Qingqing.

Soon it was dinnertime, and Jishen finished eating and went to rest.

Over the next few days, Ye Yunxi and her group went to several places, but they didn't find anything.

The earthquake continued, tremors coming and going. Fortunately, they were all aftershocks and not very strong. It passed quickly.

The wolf cubs grew bigger every day, and goat milk was no longer enough. During the day, when Gu Qingqing and the others were there, they would cook rice porridge to feed the wolf cubs, and only at night would they feed them goat milk powder.

The little wolf cub has become very attached to Ye Yunxi, treating her like its mother, and of course, it also attaches itself to Yunzi, who keeps it warm.

More than a week later, Ye Yunxi and her group saw a village in the distance while driving. It was getting late, so they decided to go into the village to stay the night and take a look.

Fu Heng and his group drove all the way to the village entrance. Looking inside, the village was completely dark.

Fu Heng parked the car and said to Ye Yunxi and the others.

"You guys wait in the car for a moment, a few of us men will go check first."

Fu Heng got out of the car and went to see it with Chen Zhe and Xuan Yu, while Zhang Haiyi and Lu Hengyi stayed behind to keep watch.

The three of them, carrying flashlights, walked into the village.

The village felt somewhat eerie at night.

Some doors and windows in the village were dilapidated, some gates were open, some were only half-open, and some didn't have gates at all.

Some homes only have window frames, while others have windows with half the glass broken.

Chen Zhe shrank back and said to Fu Heng and Xuan Yu.

"Why is there no one in this village? Could they have already left?"

Hyunwoo teased Chen Zhe, "Hey, Zhe, are you scared?"

Chen Zhe blushed and said loudly.

"Who's afraid?! I just feel that the thickness is a bit strange, but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with it."

Xuan Yu laughed and said, "Don't explain, I'm just scared."

Chen Zhe was about to retort when Fu Heng stopped him, signaling them to be quiet.

Chen Zhe and Xuan Yu looked around warily when suddenly, a figure ran out of the house.

Chen Zhe and Xuan Yu were startled. Fu Heng shone his flashlight over and discovered it was a rat.

Chen Zhe composed himself and said, "How come there are rats here?"

Xuan Yu laughed and scolded him. "Are you stupid? Nobody lives here, of course there are rats, and maybe other things too."

"What else?" Chen Zhe asked nervously.

Although he had practiced martial arts, he was still somewhat afraid of uninhabited villages, especially dilapidated ones, where ghosts might appear.

Fu Heng led them forward, talking as they walked.

"This village appears to be deserted; judging from the extent of the damage to these houses, no one has lived here for a long time."

Chen Zhe asked curiously, "Then where did they go?"

Xuan Yu said with a smile, "Of course they went to other places, mostly to the base. But, you never know."

Why do you say "not necessarily"?

"Who knows? He might just be dead!" Xuan Yu said with a shrug.

Chen Zhe didn't believe Xuan Yu's words and said to him.

"Dead? But we haven't seen any corpses or bloodstains since we came in."
