Ning Chuxia had already heard the noise when Alice opened the door.

Thinking it was Huang Zhao coming out to have lunch, he didn't look up and was still flipping through the data on his terminal.

But then he suddenly heard a clear and melodious female voice, tinged with tension, and he looked up in surprise.

Suddenly, he saw Alice, dressed in cute pajamas, greeting him somewhat shyly.

Huang Zhao didn't know how to explain Alice's existence to Ning Chuxia for the time being.

Therefore, she did not mention Alice, who would be living in the shelter, to Ning Chuxia.

At this moment, Ning Chuxia looked at Alice with some confusion and asked:

"Who are you?"

"I'm Huang Zhao's brother..."

Alice suddenly stopped talking, unsure of what her relationship with Huang Zhao should be at this point.

'Lover? Wife? Madam? Isn't it too fast...'

Alice's face suddenly flushed slightly, and her originally clear voice became barely audible as she replied to Ning Chuxia:

"I was rescued by Brother Huang Zhao yesterday..."

Ning Chuxia looked at the girl in front of her who seemed to have suddenly become somewhat embarrassed. Although she was a little confused, she still replied politely:

"Hello, nice to meet you.

My senior colleague didn't mention you to me, so I'll ask the chef to make an extra lunch.

Alice had calmed down and sat down opposite Ning Chuxia, replying:

"Okay, I'll have a fruit salad."

I also need to make a big lobster and steak for Huang Zhao, he loves them.

Ning Chuxia input the information into the chef android's commands on the terminal.

Then he looked up at Alice, who was sitting at the dining table with her head down, and asked;

"You arrived in Dawn City yesterday?"

Alice, feeling somewhat relaxed, was less wary of Ning Chuxia, whom Huang Zhao had approved of.

He recounted his experiences after the apocalypse to Ning Chuxia.

When talking about the death of her parents, she was still very sad, but she did not have an emotional breakdown because she had been healed by Huang Zhao.

Ning Chuxia listened quietly to Alice's description of her tragic experience.

Although I can't fully empathize with her, I can still sense the despair in Alice's heart at that time from her words.

To Alice, whether it's Huang Zhao himself or the puppets manipulated by Huang Zhao, they are all essentially Huang Zhao, and there's not much difference between them.

Because Huang Zhao had told Alice not to tell anyone about his psychic abilities.

Therefore, Ning Chuxia was unaware of this and assumed that Huang Zhao had led the team out to rescue Alice.

Ning Chuxia gave Huang Zhao a big thumbs up in her heart for rescuing Alice.

I never expected Huang Zhao to be so strong, capable of leading a team to rescue survivors.

He even lied to her, saying she was just an assistant. I'm thinking I'll definitely give him a piece of my mind next time we meet.

Ning Chuxia said to Alice, who was looking somewhat downcast:

"My condolences, Alice."

The deceased are gone, but the living must still strive to live on.

We were all saved by Dawn City, and we are already countless times luckier than many survivors still suffering in dire straits.

Thinking of Huang Zhao, Alice smiled happily.

"Yes, Sister Chuxia, we are all lucky!"

I heard from Huang Zhao's brother that you and he were high school classmates. Could you tell me about his past?

Alice, who is obsessed with Huang Zhao, also has a strong curiosity about Huang Zhao's past.

However, when asked, Huang Zhao was unwilling to answer. Now that Ning Chuxia was here, it was a good opportunity to find out.

Seeing the somewhat infatuated look on Alice's face, Ning Chuxia seemed to understand something.

Looking at Alice's young and innocent face, she seemed to be underage. He thought to himself:

The "hero saves the beauty" plot is just too powerful for such an innocent and naive young girl.

Senior brother, I advise you to stop feeding rats and don't become a beast!

Unfortunately, Ning Chuxia was unaware that Huang Zhao had already taken advantage of Alice.

It was only because Alice's superpower had restored her body's fatigue and injuries that she appeared to be acting like someone who had just experienced intimacy.

Faced with Alice, who looked exceptionally cute, Ning Chuxia couldn't bring herself to refuse her.

He began to reminisce about the first time he met Huang Zhao in high school, and said to Alice:

"Him..."

While waiting for the chef to serve the food, Ning Chuxia told Alice about her high school days with Huang Zhao.

While Ning Chuxia and Alice were confiding in each other without any barriers.

Having already transferred his main consciousness to the puppet's mind, Huang Zhao was naturally unaware of what was happening outside the room.

When Alice woke up, she alerted Huang Zhao, who immediately relinquished control over Chen Run and returned to his body instantly.

Huang Zhao would not overlook any disturbances or disturbances related to his own body.

Even though Huang Zhao knew he was absolutely safe in Dawn City, he would not let his guard down.

After regaining his senses, Huang Zhao discovered that Alice had gotten up but hadn't opened her eyes.

Sensing Ning Chuxia sitting in the control center, he hesitated for a moment whether to tell her about Alice's existence, but ultimately decided against it.

'Alice is so cute, Chu Xia would never bully her.'

Huang Zhao once again transferred his mental consciousness to Chen Run, who was on the heavy truck heading to the next marker.

The process of long-distance mental transfer is similar to passing through a mental channel. Huang Zhao cannot perceive external information and has no concept of time.

If it's just a moment, after initiating the mental transfer, the main consciousness will be in the puppet's mind in the next second.

However, the mental transfer of about 9 kilometers actually took nearly 20 seconds, which made Huang Zhao feel a bit annoyed.

The latency is still too high.

Hopefully, a solution to this problem will be found after reaching level four.

Huang Zhao's mental transfer speed is approximately the distance he moves across his mental perception area per second, currently at 468 meters per second.

If a puppet is stunned for this long during a battle, it's enough time for the enemy to kill it dozens of times.

Huang Zhao sighed, knowing he could only wait and see if his speed would improve significantly after his ability level broke through.

Otherwise, he might not be able to keep an eye on the puppet while it is on a long-distance mission.

As Huang Zhao dealt with the mutated rat swarm in the granary and began collecting supplies, the terminal received a message from Alice:

"Lunch is ready, Brother Huang Zhao!"

Huang Zhao stopped collecting the food and took out two portions of food from his special ability space.

After leaving instructions in Chen Run's mind to continue collecting warehouse supplies and eating, his spirit returned to the shelter's original body.

Huang Zhao stretched in bed, got up and left the room.

"Brother Huang Zhao~"

"Senior brother."

Huang Zhao nodded to the two of them and walked to the dining table to sit down.
