Li Yiyuan wanted to go back to the orphanage, but he felt that Li Xin'er would most likely not go back with him.
After all, the body in question is now inhabited by a female ghost from who-knows-where, not 'Li Xin'er' who has deep feelings for the orphanage.
He wanted to keep an eye on Li Xin'er, so now he could only try to persuade her to go back with him.
He then asked Li Xin'er,
"And you? Are you going back?"
Li Xin'er could easily see that his thoughts were practically written all over his face. Anyway, she didn't have anything else to do at the moment, and she was also quite curious about that place in the original owner's memories.
Going back to visit is fine, but don't expect her to stay indefinitely. You could donate some supplies to the orphanage, since she has plenty of supplies right now. Consider it repaying a debt.
Following his words, Li Xin'er affirmed:
"Of course I'll go back, how can I not?"
Li Yiyuan was a little incredulous at her quick agreement.
"Are you coming with me?"
Li Xin'er almost rolled her eyes at him.
"Or else? We can split up? That's fine too, I'd love to."
Li Yiyuan quickly shook his head, afraid that she would change her mind.
"No, no, no, together! We'll go together."
Everyone knew that Li Xin'er was an orphan, and the other three people present were not surprised by this. What surprised them was that Li Yiyuan was from the same orphanage as her.
But considering their names, it's not surprising.
In a previous interview, Li Xin'er explained the origin of her name: the director of her orphanage was surnamed Li, so the children who grew up there without surnames all took the director's surname.
The three seemed afraid of touching on the two people's sore spots, so they deliberately didn't respond.
Li Xin'er found Li Feng and the two girls quite agreeable, and in a good mood, based on the subsequent developments in the book, she reminded the three of their differences.
"Given the current situation, rescue teams are out of the question. If the government were to intervene, the most they could do is organize survivors to clear the safe zone."
Once the safe zone is demarcated, the next step is to restore basic order and establish a safe base.
Before this, there wasn't enough manpower and resources to clear the roads leading out of the province. To cross provincial borders and return home, one had to wait until the base was built. To establish connections, opening up the roads was essential.
If you can't wait, you'll have to set off on your own. This means you need to consider the dangers along the way; the risks are unknown. I suggest you form a team of several people and prepare sufficient food and weapons in advance.
The more Li Feng and the other two listened, the more somber their expressions became. They knew that Li Xin'er was right; the road home was fraught with difficulties and dangers.
Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, Li Xin'er joked:
"Of course, unless you have an airplane like the Ye family, then you don't need to consider anything else."
She does have them, but she won't kindly offer them any. One thing at a time, okay?
Li Feng looked miserable, on the verge of tears.
"Sister Xin, you can't stab me like that."
Even if they have some money, they still can't compare to those wealthy and powerful families, not to mention that having money is useless now.
Suddenly remembering something, Li Feng asked hesitantly:
"It would take at least several months to establish a base, wouldn't it?"
This time, Li Yiyuan spoke up before Li Xin'er even had a chance to reply.
“It will take time to completely clear out the safe area and restore order; a few months is the fastest that can be done.”
Li Feng wiped his face, leaned back in his seat, looked up at the sky, and sighed deeply.
"Sigh, it seems I'll have to find someone to team up with. I can't wait any longer; too much can happen in a few months. If I could, I'd teleport back right now."
Both millet and wheat are anxious; neither is.
They're not going in the same direction as Li Feng. If they don't make plans now, they'll be left alone once everyone goes their separate ways.
Xiaomai's hand, hidden under the table, kept fidgeting with her fingers; she was filled with anxiety.
"So where should we find people to team up with?"
Seeing that the two girls were completely at a loss, Li Xin'er wanted to offer some advice and asked:
"Since you're so determined to come with me, are you sure your family won't come looking for you?"
When this was mentioned, both Xiaomai and Xiaomi became a little embarrassed and lowered their heads guiltily. Xiaomi replied,
"Um... we didn't tell our families we were coming to Haishi. We thought we'd only be here for a couple of days and then go back... so..."
Who would have thought that after only one night here, I would run into this misfortune, and now I can't contact my family.
Xiaomai nodded in agreement, adding,
“I’m afraid my parents will go to Ling City to look for someone, and then we’ll miss it when we get back.”
Li Xin'er understood; with such a vast country, finding someone without communication capabilities would be like searching for a needle in a haystack—extremely difficult.
"In that case, we can wait a few more days. Once everyone accepts the fact that it's the end of the world, they will go out to find supplies. Anyway, you also need to collect supplies for the journey back. Then we can find people to team up with to go back."
Li Feng thought so too.
"Well, that's the only way. There's no point in rushing it."
Li Xin'er was the type to act on her thoughts immediately. Having decided to return to the orphanage, she set off right away.
“Now, Li Yiyuan and I are going back to the orphanage. You can come with us, or you can find a place to stay for a few days and start stockpiling supplies.”
Li Feng sat up straight instantly.
"Sister Xin, I'd like to go with you guys first, is that okay?"
He felt safer and more at ease with Sister Xin. Unlike the hotel, there weren't many people out searching for supplies yet; the shops were all securely locked. He hesitated, feeling like he was stealing...
