After Leng Yebai and Zhang Yiming returned from another world, they went back to the Yunhua Safe Base.
Several months have passed.
The Yunhua Security Base was still immersed in the joy of celebrating the end of the apocalypse. It happened to be Lunar New Year's Eve, and everywhere was decorated in red.
Last year, everyone was in a state of confusion during the apocalypse, fearing that they would be devoured by zombies.
Now, they can go anywhere without fear of zombies suddenly appearing!
This year will be a good year!
Excited survivors were everywhere.
From the base building of the security base, one can also see a Great Wall standing tall in the distance, piercing the clouds.
It isolated life and decay.
The joyful side, and the silent side.
Humans and zombies are forever separated.
Technology has gotten back on track, although it has regressed by several decades and it will be difficult to recover to its peak within a few decades.
But at least, this is a "peaceful era".
Leng Yebai and Bai Xizhu stood on the base commander's building for a very long time before finally holding hands and going to the base commander's office.
The mutated panda that the base director sent back to the zoo has been back for several months.
At first, he looked exhausted and seemed lost in thought.
After sitting in front of Leng Yebai's mother's grave for a day and a night, she returned to her former self, constantly chasing after Leng Yebai and calling him her son, without any trace of sadness.
My original plan to travel around was canceled, and I also have two more gray hairs on my head.
"Son, daughter-in-law, you've arrived!"
As soon as Leng Yebai and Bai Xizhu entered, the base commander's face instantly lit up with a beaming smile.
"It's time to eat."
Leng Yebai uttered four words in a low voice, his lips twitching as if he wanted to call him "Dad" a few more times, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Even though he had clearly made up his mind to treat Xiao Zhuzhu and her father the same way, he still couldn't shake off his inherent reserve.
"OK."
The base commander nodded with a smile, still looking at Leng Yebai and Bai Xizhu with a smile.
Bai Xizhu felt a chill run down her spine after seeing this.
"Uncle Leng, is there anything we can do for you?"
Bai Xizhu took the initiative to ask.
"It's alright! Today is New Year's Eve, this is your lucky money."
The base commander had somehow managed to grab a large box and place it directly into Bai Xizhu's hands.
Even without opening it, I could already feel the surging energy.
It was a box of crystal cores.
Since the zombies were isolated, humans have been unable to obtain new crystal cores, making them extremely precious.
But the base chief made a lot of money by opening the safe base, some of it was crystal cores.
The biggest of the big players.
"Thank you, Uncle Leng! Wishing you prosperity!"
Bai Xizhu accepted the box with a smile and put it directly into her spatial storage.
Leng Yebai raised an eyebrow, took two steps toward the base commander, and held out his hand, "Where's mine?"
The captain of the Human Survivors Alliance has also started relying on his parents for financial support.
The base commander wasn't surprised at all; his son was a penniless man.
All the crystal nuclei belonged to Xiaozhu, but he didn't.
"Of course there's one for you, here you go!"
The base commander then took out another box of crystal cores and placed it directly in front of Bai Xizhu.
Since it's all for Xiao Zhuzhu anyway, the base chief saved Leng Yebai a step.
"Wishing you prosperity and good fortune, thank you... Dad!"
Like Bai Xizhu, Leng Yebai also offered a blessing.
Although he spoke very softly when he said "Dad," the base commander still heard it clearly.
His smile widened.
Just as he was about to ask his son to call out again, Leng Yebai had already pulled Bai Xizhu away.
I've already received the lucky money crystals, so there's no need to keep them anymore.
"Hey, don't go! I haven't asked you yet! Things are back to normal now, the Civil Affairs Bureau is open, when are you going to get your marriage certificate?"
The base commander shouted at the top of his lungs behind Bai Xizhu and the other person.
Leng Yebai's lips curled up slightly, and he and Bai Xizhu exchanged a glance, their eyes crinkling.
"Just go back and prepare a truckload of crystal cores as your dowry."
Leng Yebai's light, airy voice drifted over.
The base commander's eyes widened, and he cupped one hand into a megaphone, asking again, "Could you bring your elderly, dependent father with you as a live-in son-in-law?"
Leng Yebai didn't say anything, but simply made an OK gesture.
The base commander beamed with joy.
This dowry wasn't prepared in vain!
Fortunately, he did have a truckload of crystal cores.
It's all thanks to his shrewish nature!
It's late at night.
Lanterns glowing red were everywhere.
The children laughed and played around with each other, and greeted adults with "Happy New Year."
No one cared whether they knew each other or not; when children came to pay New Year's visits, they would give them some small snacks, and everyone was happy.
On the top floor of the base building, the Bai family members and the base chief sat together.
The table was laden with a sumptuous meal.
Since no one went up to the top floor, Bai Xizhu specially released a few small beasts from her spatial storage.
Chenghuang, Qinyuan, Shuihui, Taowu, the mutated giant python, and Xiaoqingbai Suzhen.
Each of the little animals received a large iron pot of chicken stew with mushrooms, which was considered a way to celebrate the New Year for them.
The base commander was especially happy today and pulled Bai Anhai aside to discuss the wedding arrangements.
They wished they could gather all the survivors in the world together so that everyone could experience this joy.
Bai Anhai didn't feel the sadness of marrying off his daughter, because it was explained that he was a son-in-law who would move in with his wife's family. Unlike others, Leng Yebai brought his elderly father with him...
