The owner was also very happy that someone liked his cooking. He was a chef before the apocalypse, and he thought he would never have the chance to cook again. It was his wife who kept encouraging him that led him to open this restaurant.
After saying goodbye to the boss and his wife, the group of people left.
After finishing their meal, the group headed back, since the thick fog made it impossible to see anything and they couldn't go out for a stroll. Visibility would be even lower once it got dark.
Back in their room, the two of them took showers one after the other and then went to bed to watch TV series. There weren't many entertainment options available, but luckily Jiang Li had downloaded some TV shows.
"If only we had a projector, we could watch a movie together."
Jiang Li took out a small foldable table from his spatial storage and placed it on the bed, saying...
"I'll go check it out tomorrow. They should have some at the base. I'll get one then."
"Yes, that's great."
Jiang Li said with a heartfelt expression, setting up the tablet as she spoke, then leaning against Gu Jin's chest. The two of them planned to watch the previously popular movie, "The Storm."
The two watched TV series together, occasionally discussing it. Although Jiang Li and Gu Jin had been together for almost a year, this was the first time they had lived together, but neither of them felt awkward.
The next morning, as soon as Jiang Li woke up, she saw Gu Jin lying on his side opposite her, staring at her with his eyes open.
Jiang Li smiled.
"Good morning."
"Good morning."
When did you wake up?
"I've been awake for a while."
"Then why didn't you call me?"
"Because I think you look cute when you sleep, with your fair and tender face, just like a doll, and I really want to pinch it."
After Gu Jin finished speaking, she really pinched Jiang Li's face lightly, and then quickly let go. The soft texture felt great.
"Didn't you promise Captain Wang you'd help?"
Jiang Li sat up and said.
"Hmm, it's still early, I'll go later."
Gu Jin got up with Jiang Li, and the two went to the bathroom to wash up. After washing up, Jiang Li went downstairs to prepare breakfast, while Gu Jin went to wake Shi Lin up. Afterward, they went to Captain Wang's place together.
Downstairs, Jiang Li fried a bun and bacon for each of the three, along with a glass of milk. Gu Jin and Shi Lin, who had bigger appetites, ate two more buns.
After Gu Jin and Shi Lin left, before the others in the villa had gotten up, Jiang Li went back to take a nap.
In the following days, Gu Jin would go to the base to help out from time to time. The other people in the villa lived different lives and often wouldn't see each other for several days.
Just like when Jiang Li wakes up, the others haven't woken up yet, and when Fu Xiaxia wakes up, Jiang Li has already gone back to his room, so they won't be able to meet.
We usually eat separately, sometimes we'll have a meal together, but most of the time we don't eat together.
After that day, Gu Jin actually brought back a camera from the base, and when Gu Jin was there, the two of them would snuggle up in the room and watch movies.
Sometimes the two of them would spar. Before, Jiang Li trained alone, focusing on physical fitness. Now that they train together, it's not just about physical fitness anymore. They often end up with bruises all over their bodies, and then they go back to their room to apply ointment and massage each other to reduce the swelling.
However, it was usually Jiang Li who had more bruises. Gu Jin felt both heartache and guilt when she saw it, but training each other was also to improve their own abilities. After feeling heartache, it was natural for them to do the same.
As the days went by, all the lights in the base were installed. Jiang Li originally thought that if they were going to be installed, they would be on the main road, but he didn't expect that they would also be installed on the small road next to the villa.
For many days, everything was peaceful, until one day, not long after Gu Jin went to the base, Jiang Li was strolling in the yard when he suddenly saw something black crawling out of the soil. Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was an insect, and soon the number of insects in the yard increased dramatically.
Jiang Li quickly took out insecticide and sprayed it, then called the others down to help kill the bugs.
Although Jiang Li wasn't afraid of insects, the sight of so many insects of all sizes gathered together, densely packed, was rather disgusting.
Wow, there are so many bugs!
When Fu Xiaxia went downstairs and saw so many bugs, she got goosebumps.
"There's no time to explain in detail, here's the insecticide for you."
Jiang Li distributed insecticide and protective suits to everyone, fully arming himself to prevent insects from crawling onto people.
Everyone sprayed everywhere, on the ground and walls, but as soon as one batch died, another batch came, seemingly endless.
Jiang Li had already heard the exclamations coming from the neighboring courtyard.
"Insects, insects, how can there be so many insects?"
"Ah, get off me! Don't climb on me!"
With so many bugs, getting bitten is no joke.
"I'm going out to find Gu Jin and Shi Lin."
Jiang Li was worried about Gu Jin and Shi Lin who had just gone out. She opened the door and found even more bugs outside. Jiang Li took the insecticide with her and walked out.
Just as they stepped outside, they ran into Gu Jin and Shi Lin, who had returned. They had lit a fire with tree branches. The insects were afraid of fire, but for a moment they dared not get close to them.
"It's good that you're back."
Back at the villa, Jiang Li also gave Gu Jin and Shi Lin each a set of protective clothing, ensuring their complete protection.
"Yeah, I saw some bugs on the way and knew something was wrong, so I rushed back."
Gu Jin took the protective suit and said.
Jiang Li had already put the car in her spatial dimension when she discovered the insects. Time was frozen on the other side of her dimension, making it impossible for living things to exist. Even if there were insects on the car, they would have died.
Jiang Li also took out insecticide powder and sprinkled it in the yard. The powder was more effective than insecticide, and gradually the number of insects in the yard began to decrease. Although there were still some, it was much better than at the beginning, and the group was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"What the hell is this? How come there are so many bugs? Where did they all come from?!"
No one could answer Fang Qingxun's question. Even Jiang Li didn't know where the insects came from; he only knew that they had inexplicably crawled out of the ground.
Perhaps they've always been there, but it was too cold during the extreme cold before they didn't come out. Now that the extreme cold has passed, they've all awakened.
Jiang Li didn't know if any insects had crawled into the house, so she had Gu Jin and the others sprinkle the powder around the house, and then spray the house with insecticide spray.
Then they put everything in the room into the other half of the space, left it for a while, and took it out again. After a careful inspection, they actually found some dead insects.
"Jiang Li, thanks to you, otherwise I would have gotten goosebumps just thinking about sitting with insects."
As Fu Xiaxia spoke, she rubbed her arm; the sight was truly disgusting.
Fortunately, the people in the kitchen didn't cook, they just had bottled oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, so the insects couldn't get in. All the ingredients were in Jiang Li's space. If there was food in the kitchen, Jiang Li thought he probably wouldn't eat it.
I washed the jars of seasonings clean and then put them all away.
