Qi Zhi wasn't the only one who didn't understand Su Li's choice; the others also expressed their confusion after they realized what had happened.
So Su Li could only offer some words of comfort to the group:
"Don't worry, I don't plan to go anywhere else. I just have some other plans, so I won't be with you all. But I'll come find you once I've settled down. Anyway, we're all in Tongcheng, so there's no need to worry about not seeing each other again."
Since Su Li had already said that, the others exchanged glances and naturally couldn't say anything more.
After all, we are just teammates. We help each other on the road to survive together. Although we can trust each other and have developed feelings for each other after spending two months together, it doesn't mean that we can influence other people's decisions.
Moreover, in two months, the group of people could get to know Su Li's personality to some extent.
Although she appears to have a peaceful and easy-going personality, she is actually quite aloof inside.
Previously, they had no choice but to team up with others to survive in the apocalypse. Now, as time goes by, the survivors are becoming more and more familiar with the apocalyptic environment and more and more skilled at dealing with mutated animals.
With the upgrade of her superpowers, Su Li's strength is even more outstanding, so she probably prefers to live alone.
After all, while the base is safer, it also has more restrictive rules. If what Su Li has in her space is enough to live a stable life in the apocalypse, then she really doesn't need to live in the base.
Su Li had no idea what the others were thinking.
Because her idea was very simple: she just wanted to find a suitable place near the base that the people in the base weren't so familiar with, take out the large villa in her space, and claim a piece of land.
Otherwise, once she got to the base, she wouldn't have been able to conjure up a house out of thin air right under the noses of the management.
The Tongcheng base is currently located near the outer ring road, with the outer ring road and a cluster of green hills not far away.
From the apartment building where Su Li and the others are currently staying, they can even see the low-lying bungalows at the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the outer ring road.
Su Li felt that the location was perfect for her to settle down there!
She planned to go and check on Qi Zhi and Huang Keke after they settled down at the base!
Night fell quickly, and the lights came on in the room.
Although they were now on the outskirts of the base and the surrounding environment was safe, the spying from living people was still troublesome, so Su Li and the others covered the windows of the living room and kitchen with cardboard.
Tonight's dinner was quite lavish; several of us ate barbecue.
The meat was all from supermarkets and cold storage facilities that Su Li received at the very beginning of the apocalypse.
Lin Dong personally cut the meat, including beef, lamb, and pork. He also marinated one spicy and one honey-flavored meat in advance.
In addition to meat, Zurich also brought out some mushrooms, shrimp, dried sausages, and perilla leaves, as well as four large lobsters and several scallops.
She planned to make scallops with garlic and vermicelli, so she soaked some vermicelli, chopped some garlic and chili peppers, poured hot oil over the garlic, made a sauce, and spooned it onto the scallops with the vermicelli.
The remaining people then quickly washed all the other ingredients.
Qi Zhi listened to Su Li's advice and cooked a pot of rice early in the morning. By the time the roast meat was put on the pot, the aroma of the rice had already wafted out!
The drinks weren't chilled tonight because the temperature has dropped to seven degrees Celsius, and there's no heating in the house. It's already damp and cold, so drinking an iced beverage would only make you feel colder!
"Hehe, I've been wanting to try grilled meat with rice for a long time, and I finally got to eat it! Before, I always got full after just a few bites when I went out to eat!"
Qi Zhi placed a large piece of roasted meat on top of the rice, then used chopsticks to forcefully pinch down on the meat, and a large mouthful of rice was wrapped inside the meat.
The juices from the roasted meat instantly seeped into each distinct grain of rice. He took a big bite and immediately nodded vigorously with immense happiness.
"Cool!"
The others were amused by his appearance, but couldn't resist trying the same way of eating.
Su Li also wrapped a piece of meat in a slice and put it in Xuan Qing's bowl.
When he looked down, he saw Xuanqing staring intently at the scallops that had begun to steam.
Feeling Su Li put the meat down, Xuan Qing looked up at her, his eyes showing no embarrassment at being caught craving food.
He calmly looked at Su Li, his blue eyes sparkling under the light, then suddenly raised a black forepaw and pointed at the scallops still on the grill:
"I want to eat that."
Su Li: "..."
"That'll have to wait a while, it's not cooked yet."
Upon hearing this, Xuanqing's triangular ears twitched, and its cat-like eyes lowered, looking somewhat disappointed.
Then he looked down at the roast meat and rice on his plate, flicked his tail which was hanging under the stool, picked up the roast meat, and slowly tore it apart.
The slices of grilled meat were a bit large, making it a little troublesome for him in his cat form to eat, but fortunately the slices were thin and tender, and he could bite them off with almost no effort.
After he finished eating one piece, Su Li quickly put another one in his bowl.
After finishing, Xuan Qing noticed that Su Li's gaze hadn't left his face, so he looked up at her in confusion.
Then he saw Su Li looking down at him, and suddenly flicked his head with her hand: "You're getting better and better at ordering me around!"
Xuanqing was taken aback, then its cat-like eyes flashed, giving it an "I'm not going to talk to you" look, and it looked down at the slices of meat in the bowl:
I'll make it up to you later!
The cat's voice was very soft, accompanied by the action of biting meat, and was somewhat indistinct.
Su Li didn't hear clearly and turned her head to look at the cat squatting on the table in confusion: "What?"
Xuan Qing ignored her and focused on eating, only mumbling a sentence: "Give me another slice, spicy!"
Zuli "..."
Everyone was so full after dinner that their bellies were round!
Feeling so full and uncomfortable, no one wanted to move. The group found a spot on the sofa or floor mat to slump down, planning to rest for a while before cleaning up the dishes.
After resting for a while, Su Li felt much better from the bloating in her abdomen. She sat up and thought that now might be a good time to bring up the matter of how to divide the supplies stored in the space after everyone was separated.
Before she could even finish speaking, a faint crackling sound of electricity suddenly came from the walkie-talkie that was placed to the side!
Everyone was stunned!
Then they all sat up.
At the same time, the static in the walkie-talkie gradually disappeared, and a clear voice came through:
"Hello, Miss Su, Brother Lin, are you there? If so, please reply, this is Lu Yu!"
"This call originated from the official Tongcheng base. I am already at the base, Ms. Su, Brother Lin. If you can hear me, please reply!"
