"Get up! Get up! Everyone hurry up and get ready, we'll be home today!"
After Chen Chao finished shouting through the megaphone, the broadcast automatically played, "The third set of national middle school broadcast gymnastics, 'Dancing Youth,' is now beginning—"
"Preparatory Movement! One, two, three, four; five, six, seven, eight..."
As Lin Yu and Gu Chen roamed in their dreams, the DNA within them stirred violently.
Lin Yu rolled down the car window and stuck his head out, his hair all frizzy. "Uncle Chen! Where did you get this?! Help! It's deadly!"
Gu Chen tidied his hair with his hands, got out of the car, took a deep breath of fresh air, and his muscle memory started working like he was doing calisthenics.
"Xiaoyu! Hurry up and get ready, it's time to eat!"
Chen Chao took a satisfying bite of the grape and coconut bread, the rich aroma exploding in his mouth.
It's so delicious!
After everyone had rested, the vehicles officially hit the road and traveled safely without any obstacles.
Luo Chun was on his routine patrol along the base's perimeter wall when he spotted a spirited convoy in the distance and immediately called over Cao Ming, who had perfect vision.
"Yes! Brother Chun! It's them! They're back!"
Upon seeing the familiar vehicle, Cao Ming shouted with delight, and all the members of the Flying Tigers surrounded him.
"Great! I'll go send out the notification now!"
Luo Chun suppressed his excitement and put on a serious face. "Cao Ming! Follow the rules!"
Cao Ming, who was about to go down the stairs, paused. "Okay!"
The base is full of survivors, so we can't open the door rashly. This is all for everyone's safety.
"Phew—comrades! We're home!"
"Second vehicle received!"
"Three vehicles received!"
"Four vehicles..."
When everyone saw the familiar base, their home, the weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted.
The journey was thrilling and exciting, but we inexplicably escaped danger and survived. As the saying goes, good fortune is sure to follow those who survive!
"Sis! Look, they're raising flags!"
Lin Yu exclaimed excitedly. This was the first time he had ever felt like he had returned from a great victory. How wonderful!
Chen Chao stretched the bright red flag out of the skylight and waved it vigorously.
"It's them! They're back!" cheered the crowd standing on the wall.
Luo Chun breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the guard post. "Hey—hello? Hello! Comrades! They're back!!"
Everyone in the base put down their work and happily hugged each other. Among those who went out were their sons, husbands, relatives, and friends.
The entire base is overjoyed that everyone has returned safely!
Su Ling carried the little jelly and ran quickly this way.
Little Jelly clapped her hands, "Great! Daddy's back! Sister Ranran's back too! And Brother Xiaoyu, Brother Niannian! And Auntie, Uncle..."
As she counted on her little hands, Su Ling had already carried her up the wall.
"We're here! Little Jelly, no need to count anymore, they'll all be back!"
"Wow! It really is! Brother Su Ling, you're amazing! You've improved this time!"
Su Ling patted the little head affectionately, "Little Jelly, you have such a sweet mouth! I don't even want to give you back to your dad!"
"Don't worry, Brother Su Ling, Little Jelly will come to play with you again! Muah!"
The people around him smiled indulgently, and his low mood, which had been hanging over him for so many days, eased considerably.
Cao Ming directed his men to push open the iron gate that hadn't been opened for a long time, clearing away the zombies that were wandering around the entrance in twos and threes.
As the vehicles became clearer, Lin's father honked the horn three times and drove directly into the base.
After the last car entered the gate, Cao Ming and his men locked the gate again.
"Great! They're back! They're really back!"
"I'm finally back!"
As soon as the passengers opened the car doors, they were greeted with cheers.
"Sister Ranran!"
Little Jelly, like a wild horse, jumped off Su Ling and rammed into Lin Anran like a cannonball.
Before Lin Anran could react, she was already on top of Lin Yu.
Jiang Qinian withdrew his hands, which had been used to teleport, and looked around aimlessly.
"They're back! Everyone's back safe and sound! That's wonderful!"
"Son, let me take a good look, it's wonderful! Thank God! My prayers these past few days have come true! I'm so glad you're alright, so glad you're alright!"
Luo Chun and Chen Chao nodded to each other.
"Brother Chen, I'm handing the base over to you in full. You've had a long and arduous journey!"
"Thank you so much! Luo Chun, I'm so grateful for your help these past few days!"
Chen Chao turned to look at his beloved daughter, and almost burst into tears. He had narrowly escaped death this time, and almost didn't make it back.
"You little ingrate, didn't you see your father?"
Little Jelly touched her rough, big face with her tiny hands. "Daddy! Little Jelly missed you so much! Hug me~"
Chen Chao hugged his warm, cuddly daughter, his heart melting completely.
Everyone hugged each other, celebrating their safe return.
Yang Yu stood at a distance, searching through the crowd. How could it not be there?
"Captain Xu! Where...where is my sister?"
Xu Hu's eyes were filled with malice, and his voice was indifferent: "Dead!"
"Dead?" Yang Yu was devastated, her face deathly pale. "How could she be dead? My sister can't be dead! She promised me she would come back! How did she die?"
Xu Hu sighed, "I got bitten by a zombie."
Yang Yu's eyes trembled slightly, and her body shook for a moment. "Impossible! You're lying to me! My sister won't die! If there are zombies, why are you all still alive and well? You're lying to me!"
The commotion attracted the attention of those nearby.
An older woman stepped forward and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"
Xu Hu gritted his teeth. That damned woman, she's always causing him trouble!
He gave Niu Zi, who was next to him, a look.
"Auntie! It's alright! Yang Yu's sister unfortunately passed away on the way, so she can't accept it right now!"
"What? He died tragically?! I don't believe it! You're all lying to me!"
Yang Yu was agitated; she glared around with red eyes.
"Where is Yang Xue? Where is she?"
"She's dead too!"
No! Impossible! Yang Xue is dead too?
Xu Hu took a step forward. "Xiaoyu, this is my fault. We encountered a zombie horde, and I failed to protect them!"
Lin Yu scratched his head, accidentally making a sound, "Wait a minute! I remember that Yang Duo didn't die, right? Sis, do you remember her?"
Lin Anran pondered for a moment, "Are you talking about the person who was hiding in Xu Hu's arms? I remember she was perfectly fine, wasn't she?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Yu became agitated. "Are you telling the truth? My sister, is she still alive? Where is she?"
Xu Hu's face flushed red. "What nonsense are you talking about? They're all dead! You've been going against me the whole way, and their deaths are related to you!"
"Hahahaha!" Lin Yu laughed loudly, "What? You want us to be the scapegoats?"
