Ye Ning's words proved prophetic; Li Churan and Lin Mengru did indeed meet again very soon.
In the blink of an eye, Li Churan had been back in City A for over a week. With Canglan's help, he had recruited many other ability users and his influence was expanding rapidly.
In addition, the temperature dropped, reducing the activity of zombies, and they quickly took root in City A.
As the highest commander of this base, Lin Mengru naturally had no chance to meet Li Churan.
However, she had the opportunity to meet other people.
Seeing that the wind had shifted, she quickly changed her target from Canglan to other people and swiftly befriended one of Li Churan's capable subordinates.
In a dimly lit room in the best-preserved building in the rescue center—no, it's now called Gale Base.
Although it was broad daylight, the curtains were tightly closed, and the wooden bed creaked incessantly.
The ground was covered with scattered clothes.
The sound stopped quickly, and then the man stood up, and a fair-skinned, beautiful woman hugged him from behind.
"Are you leaving so soon?"
As the man dressed, he replied, "I have a mission, I need to get back quickly!"
His name is Zhao Tianyu, and he is a squad leader under Li Churan.
"Alright then!" the woman said reproachfully, her small face delicate and charming; it was Lin Mengru.
"When are you coming back! I'm waiting for you to come home!" Lin Mengru said expectantly, her face full of affection.
"Home?!" This word suddenly struck him. When the extreme cold began, he was just an unknown nobody, so naturally he wouldn't have had the chance to take his family with him. His family's fate was already uncertain.
"Can you cook?" Zhao Tianyu suddenly asked.
"Uh! I can do a little bit!" As a "green tea girl" (a term for a manipulative, seemingly innocent woman), she often posted photos of various delicious foods on social media to show off her cooking skills before the extreme cold arrived, but in reality, she couldn't cook at all.
But saying you can't cook at a time like this would be such a mood killer.
"I'd like to invite our boss over for dinner tonight!"
He was quite satisfied with Lin Mengru's obedient and charming nature; having such a beauty by his side was a good opportunity to show off.
Zhao Tianyu was unaware that Lin Mengru was a master of deception; there was nothing she couldn't fake.
"Your boss!" Lin Mengru exclaimed in astonishment.
"That's right! His surname is Li, and he's an exceptionally remarkable person!" He spoke of his boss with great admiration.
"Surname Li?!" What a coincidence! She actually ran into two people with the surname Li.
"Yes! I'll be back at 7 pm tonight. Prepare the food in advance. I just don't know if the boss will be free! Okay! I'm leaving now! You should rest for a while!" Zhao Tianyu kissed Lin Mengru on the cheek, picked up his boots, and went out the door.
Li Churan is calling a meeting to discuss the details of the next step. Supplies have been arriving steadily over the past few days, but as the number of people increases, they must find ways to collect more supplies themselves in case of emergencies.
Moreover, Li Churan had his own ulterior motives. If he didn't want to be held back by Wang Sicong, he had to secretly control some resources.
Therefore, in the past few days, Li Churan has been secretly sending his trusted confidants to investigate which places in the vicinity have not yet been discovered for supplies, and there has been great progress in the past few days.
After Zhao Tianyu finished his enthusiastic report on the information he had recently reviewed, Li Churan nodded in satisfaction.
"Everyone needs to hurry during this time. We've clearly gained the upper hand in our fight against the zombies, and the temperature is steadily dropping. The situation is very promising..."
Li Churan was always good at stirring things up, and everyone looked excited.
After the meeting, Zhao Tianyu did not file out with everyone else, but instead squeezed next to Li Churan.
Seeing that most of the people had left, Li Churan asked kindly, "Tianyu, is there something you need from me?"
"Boss! Are you free tonight?" Zhao Tianyu looked at Li Churan with admiration. In his heart, Li Churan was simply a god. Since he followed Li Churan, there was never anything that Li Churan couldn't accomplish.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Li Churan glanced at her watch; there were still quite a few things to arrange later.
"I'd like to invite you to my place for dinner. My girlfriend will be cooking tonight!" Zhao Tianyu said shyly.
"Hey, you little rascal! When did you get a girlfriend? And you kept it a secret from us!" The people around them started teasing them.
"Oh, no! That's true, we just met recently, why would I hide it from you!" Zhao Tianyu scratched the back of his head.
"Hey! Boss, are you free?" Zhao Tianyu asked expectantly.
"Okay! What time is it?" Li Churan answered readily. To develop his own trusted confidants, he naturally couldn't keep people at arm's length; he had to show appropriate friendliness.
"Let's do it at 7 p.m.!" 7 p.m. is exactly when his shift ends.
"Okay! Let's go to seven o'clock then!" Anyway, he didn't want to go back to have dinner with Wang Siyuan.
"That's wonderful!" Zhao Tianyu exclaimed excitedly.
"Can we go too?" the people around them clamored.
"We don't even know what your girlfriend looks like yet! Let us see her!"
"See what's going on? What kind of nonsense is that! What do you want to see? You're all so irresponsible!" Zhao Tianyu said, his face flushed.
"Hey! You're quite possessive of your food, aren't you!"
Li Churan couldn't help but smile slightly, "Then let's all go together!"
"Very good!"
Half an hour later, Wang Siyuan received a message from Li Churan.
