Tang Xubai, who had just started the car, looked on expectantly. Was he going to pick them up and take them back? Oh, how exciting! He couldn't help but smile, and his voice rose, "Huh? What's up?"

Lu Xingxiao's eyes lit up too, "Is there anything else?"

When Wang Yao saw Ye Jingyu and the others carrying large bags and packages, he wanted to run away. "Hurry up, they're coming with a lot of stuff!"

His words immediately made Tang Xubai and Lu Xingxiao realize that he was offering a gift. Damn it, how could they accept gifts from the common people? Last time, they were just stubborn and couldn't win against Old Master Song, but now they had a car.

Run!

The car's engine started again, and the vehicle sped across the snow.

When Ye Jingyu and his group arrived at the outermost layer of barbed wire, all they could see were snowflakes kicked up by the car tires.

The group didn't insist and returned to the villa with their bags and packages. Ye Jingyu asked, "Will they bring the crystal cores next time too?"

Grandpa Song shook his head, "I don't know, ask Yunhao."

Ye Zhi, nestled in Lu Ke's arms, spoke up enthusiastically, "Let's go ask in the control room."

After reading the instruction manual for "Ye Zhi's Moving Castle", she discovered that this moving castle was a hidden world!

The villa is not only capable of running and flying, but it is also equipped with a complete power system, signal system, defense system, and attack system.

Ye Zhi and the others can now watch dramas and play games in the villa again, and the power generation equipment that operates daily in the villa can finally be retired.

Seeing Ye Zhi's eagerness to share, Grandpa Song quickly agreed to her suggestion.

The group slowly made their way to the control room of the villa. They couldn't help but be surprised when they came to the futuristic control room again, but they managed to suppress their surprise in front of their new family members, Lu Ben and Zhang Dongliang.

"Your villa is really impressive," Zhang Dongliang exclaimed sincerely.

"That's right!" Old Master Song and the others proudly raised their heads.

Ye Zhi went to the control panel, operated it for a while, and then pressed a button. Soon, all the bases in the world appeared on the big screen.

Ye Zhi pressed a button again with her little finger, and soon a world map appeared, with the locations of each base displayed as small red dots.

Their country, Z, has hundreds of bases of varying sizes across its territory.

Ye Jingyu immediately noticed that there was also a red dot in City A where they were located. However, the red dot looked much smaller than the others, especially compared to the red dot in the northwest that represented the Victory Base. The red dot in City A was so small that it was almost invisible to Le Kai. "Zoom in and see where this base is."

Although he was speaking to Ye Zhi, he himself went up to the screen.

Suddenly, a boy of about eight years old appeared beside Ye Jingyu, stopping Ye Jingyu from taking any further action. "Master's father, I'm here to serve you."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is 001. You can just call me Xiao Yi. Ye Zhi is my master."

It was System 001 that was brought to light by Ye Zhi's threats.

Ye Zhi seems to be able to compromise on anything with her family. She had previously thought of not telling them about the existence of System 001, but after seeing the expressions of Grandpa Song and the other two today, Ye Zhi decided to tell them.

Lu Ben and Zhang Dongliang were greatly shocked to see the suddenly appearing System 001. Even the red-purple flames in Lu Ben's hand reappeared, but fortunately, Zhang Dongliang, who was good at reading people, stopped him.

Zhang Dongliang gestured for Lu Ben to look at the expressions of the actual owners of the house.

When Ye Jingyu and the others saw System 001, their eyes were filled with surprise. Old Master Song's face, which had become younger, was even more wrinkled from smiling. So this was what Little Sweet Bean had been threatening all along. This thing looked rather cute, but why was it a boy?

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Ye Zhi thought, "I knew they knew. But it's also my fault for wanting to share this joy with my parents so much."

Grandpa Song and the others nodded secretly. That was indeed the case. Ever since Ye Yubai took the Loyalty Pill, Grandpa Song, who used to love going to the monitoring room to watch Ye Yubai's every move, didn't go there as often anymore. This was because the monitoring room was equipped with an alarm system, and the monitoring system would sound an alarm in case of any emergency.

The alarm in the monitoring room this time wasn't the urgent "beep beep beep" sound from last time, but rather the roaring of zombies recorded by several people while they were fighting them.

That's why the group was so confused when they heard the alarm coming from the control room, which had been modified by System 001.

After Xiao Yi finished introducing himself, he started zooming in on the screen, and soon the map of City A appeared in front of Ye Zhi and the others.

The red dot on the map marks the location of the Ye family villa.

!

"Our villa, is it a base of its own now?" Lu Ke asked, somewhat unsure.

Under Ye Zhi's glare, System 001 dutifully gave its introduction, "Hello, Master's grandfather, the villa is indeed a self-contained base."

"Our Ye Zhi's move..."

Before System 001 could finish speaking, Ye Zhi stopped it with a sharp look.

It changed its tune, saying, "Our Ye family villa meets the requirements to become a base in terms of defense, attack, and resources."

Thinking of that pitifully small red dot, Ye Jingyu asked, "Is it because our base has such a small population that the red dot is so small?"

It couldn't be because of the size of the villa. Their villa is huge, you know. There's a swimming pool and a hot spring for bathing. Before the apocalypse, Grandpa Song even wanted to use the money he hadn't spent to build a ski resort and a snow world for Ye Zhi, but Ye Zhi refused.

Ye Zhi knew that there would be power outages in the future, so there was no need for the family to spend so much money and electricity to maintain the ski resort and the snow world, which were meant for recreation.

“Yes.” System 001 confirmed Ye Jingyu’s guess. “You only have eight people now, plus that zombie, that’s only nine. The number of people is… too few.”

Lu Ben and Zhang Dongliang, two brothers in misfortune: ! Zombies! What else is there that they don't know?!

Lu Ke was very open-minded and took it all in stride. "It's okay. We don't want to build a so-called base and manage such a large group of people. It would be exhausting."

“Look at Yun Hao and the others, they’re either doing missions or on their way to doing missions every day. Life is only a few decades long, it’s not good to live too hard.”

Grandpa Song agreed with Lu Ke's view, "Yes, those kids are soldiers for a time, and they will be soldiers for life. What they are doing is just what their hearts tell them they should do."

At this moment, inside the Victory Base, Gao Xin was still kneeling before General Gao's memorial tablet, letting out a bloodcurdling scream, "Ah!"
