Helmod was a little confused. When did the guests arrive?
It seemed to be someone Shi Yin knew, but he didn't say much. He obediently came to the door, opened it directly, and Helmod was completely unprepared, so he opened the door with his arms wide open.
Just kidding, he's completely mechanical and the least afraid of being ambushed. If someone in front of the door really tries to ambush him, he can sprout over a hundred gun barrels and instantly turn that person into a sieve.
"Surprise~ My lovely Xiaoyin, aren't you surprised to see you now!" A lazy and carefree voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
Guan Nianshan held Changning in his hands and lifted her up in front of him, making her look like a child showing off a plush bear.
The world fell into an eerie silence.
Guan Nianshan stammered as soon as he finished speaking.
He had thought this small shelter was just a temporary base for Shi Yin, but who knew there were so many people here!
He usually just acts crazy with Shi Yin in private. Now, there are so many people, three of whom are strangers he's never met before, and two of them are foreigners.
We've embarrassed ourselves internationally!
Helmod and Ishtar looked at him as if he were an idiot, Freya was also a little confused, only Shiyin was already used to Guan Nianshan's crazy habit, and calmly put down the book.
"How did you find this place?" Shi Yin asked casually.
This is actually a very normal question, but for some reason, Guan Nianshan always felt that Shi Yin's words were just a perfunctory response.
"Uh, well, Changning is looking for you..." Guan Nianshan was a little uncomfortable. He had just lost face and was feeling awkward.
"Oh, it's Changning, long time no see." Ishtar was pleasantly surprised to see Changning: "In this life, this should be considered our first meeting. Would you like some strawberry cake?"
"Don't stand at the door, the heat inside has all escaped." Helmod wasn't surprised to see the two people. To Guan Nianshan, they were strangers, but to Helmod, they were old acquaintances.
"Ahem! Oh, coming right up~" Guan Nianshan, thick-skinned, quickly put the unpleasantness of the previous moment behind him. When he saw Ishtar, his eyes lit up, and he reached into his pocket and magically pulled out a rose.
“Hey, beautiful lady, you’re really pretty. Where are you from?” Guan Nianshan placed the roses on the table and sat down next to Shi Yin. “Let me guess, a romantic and elegant woman like you must be from Lulan.”
“Of course, you guessed right. Thank you for the rose.” Ishtar smiled, picked up the rose from the table, and gently kissed the petals. “No wonder everyone says that playboys always have their charm.”
"Hmm?" Guan Nianshan was slightly taken aback. Why did he feel that Ishtar was subtly calling him a scumbag?
"Sister." Changning jumped down from Guan Nianshan's arms, nestled on Shi Yin's lap, and looked up at Shi Yin with a pitiful expression.
"Remember to control your breathing sometimes." Shi Yin rubbed Chang Ning's head, and Chang Ning immediately squinted his eyes happily, just like a kitten receiving affection.
"Guan Nianshan, come in, I have something for you." Shi Yin patted Chang Ning, who immediately obediently climbed onto the sofa next to her.
Guan Nianshan hesitated. For some reason, he had a strange feeling from the very beginning, as if everything that had happened here had been calculated by Shi Yin.
But it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and he had thought about it for so long, so it shouldn't have been expected.
There was no point in thinking about it further, so Guan Nianshan could only follow Shi Yin to the bedroom and close the door.
"Changning, why did Xiao Guan bring you here?" Ishtar pinched Changning's cheek; she really liked this little girl.
"I could smell my sister's scent, but I couldn't come out alone." Changning chewed on a sweet potato pancake and said honestly, "I told him I missed my sister, and Uncle Guan suggested taking me out, so I agreed."
“That dishonest playboy probably noticed something was wrong with Changning a long time ago.” Ishtar pouted in dissatisfaction: “He’s smart enough not to reveal that Shiyin is still alive.”
“I think quite a few people probably know that Shi Yin is still alive,” Helmod said nonchalantly. “Without someone to cooperate with, Shi Yin’s plan won’t go well.”
"Golden sister, I want to eat shaved ice again." Changning tugged at Ishtar's skirt, her soft, adorable eyes filled with watery mist, instantly melting Ishtar's heart.
“No problem, I can make as much shaved ice as you want!” Ishtar raised his hand, and a small, ice-blue dragon flew out.
The little blue dragon was a bit confused when it flew out, but it immediately understood when it saw the empty bowl in Ishtar's hand. It breathed out a breath, and a bowl of shaved ice immediately piled up into a small mountain in the bowl.
Ishtar happily took out jam, fruit, taro balls, popsicles, and hawthorn berries and poured them all in, then mixed them up to make a smoothie.
Freya was numb; she had witnessed far too much waste of resources over the past few days.
Including but not limited to...
Helmod: The hand of a god or demon scrubs pots, cleans, massages, flips skewers, inserts skewers with a robotic arm, and even makes hot pot from a skull...
Ishtar: Fire dragons start fires, electric dragons search for signals, ordinary little dragons perform mischievous tricks, pterosaurs clean the ceiling, ice dragons make shaved ice...
Even Tokine eventually used her memories to start showing everyone a movie!
Inside the bedroom.
"Boss, don't take what I just said to heart. I was just kidding." Guan Nianshan said to Shi Yin as soon as he came in, "This rose is for you."
Shi Yin glanced back and saw a white rose, blooming brightly—a typical magician's trick.
"It must be really kind of you to carry roses with you." Shi Yin didn't say anything and just sat down on the sofa.
“Hey boss, you wouldn’t believe it, this is a social skill. In the apocalypse, there are not only strong men but also strong women. Of course, you have to have some little tricks to please others.” Guan Nianshan patted his chest proudly: “In our line of work, you have to have everything. It’s better to have some useless props than to need them when you need them but not be able to take them out.”
"How's things on the country's side now?" Shi Yin ignored Guan Nianshan's glib tongue and casually changed the subject.
"This? If you ask me, it's alright?" Guan Nianshan looked around the bedroom as soon as he entered, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
The house that Shi Yin and the others chose is really big. If it weren't for the bed in the room, who would know it was a bedroom? They would probably think it was a living room.
Guan Nianshan didn't lie. He sprawled out on the sofa and told Shi Yin the truth: "It has now split into three parts."
"There are two main factions: the conservatives and the radicals. The leader is somewhere in the middle. As for the third faction... you know, no matter how the world changes, there will always be some restless ones."
