Shen Yanming and Qiu Man chatted on and on until they arrived in the capital.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were deeply moved when they saw the scenery, which was completely different from that before the apocalypse.
Bi Qiaoan pointed to this piece of land and asked An'an and Nuannuan, "Do you two remember that you were here before?"
Before the two children could answer, Qiu Man laughed and said, "How old were they back then? Even if they remembered, they wouldn't recognize them now. Things have changed so much!"
Yes, An'an and Nuannuan were only two years old at that time. They were just toddlers who had just learned to walk, their short legs kicking around, and they needed to be carried everywhere they went.
But now, one is over 1.8 meters tall and the other is almost 1.7 meters tall, making Bi Qiaoan the shortest in the family.
"I was only in my early twenties back then, and now I'm forty." Who would have thought that they had been struggling in the apocalypse for nearly twenty years?
Fortunately, in this life, both the alliance and ordinary residents were prepared, and they did not suffer a crushing defeat.
“Yes, I’m getting old.” Qiu Man’s eyes were lined with fine lines and her hair was graying. “But you and Yanming are still the same as you were more than ten years ago, not much has changed.”
“There is still a difference, isn’t there? Sometimes I feel like I don’t have the same energy as before.” After Bi Qiaoan finished speaking, she noticed that Shen Yanming was holding her hand tighter.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she thought to herself, "Old Shen, what strange thing have you thought of this time?"
Qiu Man smiled as she watched the two of them making small gestures, and joked, "Your relationship is as good as ever."
Bi Qiaoan didn't speak, her face slightly flushed. Shen Yanming smiled and nodded, readily admitting it.
An'an and Nuan Nuan exchanged a glance, then naturally turned their heads away. They had seen this kind of behavior from their parents so many times that they were already immune to it.
Qiu Man led a few people to see Chief Alliance Officer Li, only to find that Chief Alliance Officer Li was on the phone speaking a foreign language.
Seeing the group approaching, he gestured for them to wait a moment, and without trying to hide it from them, continued his story.
Although they hadn't heard a foreign language for many years, the couple's language skills were still up to par, and they quickly grasped the key points.
The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat shocked. But now was not the time to talk; they could only sit aside and wait quietly.
Bi Qiaoan mouthed to Nuan Nuan, "Can you understand me?"
Nuannuan nodded, indicating that it was no problem. An'an did too.
Bi Qiaoan breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, there weren't any major problems with the education aspect.
Although it's okay not to understand foreign languages, the planet's situation is clearly gradually recovering.
Mastering another skill can make a big difference to a child's future.
She wouldn't have considered this issue before, but now, she and Lao Shen are not young anymore.
Who knows how much longer I can live? I can't keep standing in front of my child forever.
Although the two possess spatial abilities and the spiritual spring can greatly extend their lifespan, it is not limitless.
Moreover, given that everyone's lifespan is limited, she didn't want to grow up like an old monster with Lao Shen, sending their friends off one by one.
Bi Qiao'an was lost in thought and didn't pay attention to what General Manager Li said afterward. She only came back to her senses after General Manager Li hung up the phone.
"Welcome!" General Li stood up and shook hands with the family. The couple could clearly sense that General Li had aged.
I don't know if it's because of Li Sikai's situation, but he looks much more weathered than he did two years ago, and he doesn't seem as energetic as he did during his live stream a month ago.
"Greetings, General Li!" The family of four greeted him with smiles before sitting down.
"How's everything in Haishi? How's everyone doing?"
"The Wen Alliance officials have already planned to rebuild the city, and construction will likely begin next month. A considerable amount of land has been reclaimed at the base..."
Shen Yanming explained the current situation and future development of Haishi, which pleased General Li.
"Two years ago, I almost got to visit and see your living conditions. I still feel a little regretful that I couldn't make it."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "You are a very busy person. When you have free time, you are welcome to visit Haishi. Wen Mengguan and I will certainly give you a warm welcome."
"Alright!" General Li nodded, feeling a pang of sadness as he thought of his nephew who had gone to Hai City with him.
"Yanming, are you really unable to save Xiaokai? Don't worry, I won't reveal your secret."
Shen Yanming rubbed his forehead and honestly said, "I'm not a god, I just stored some things away."
After saying that, he waved his hand and took out all the things he had prepared for Li Sikai to try from his storage ring.
"Look, this is energy rainwater, and this is the honey from before, which had something added to it. This is a century-old ginseng, and a decades-old Ganoderma lucidum. I don't know if these things will work, so I brought them over to let him try them out."
Although General Li was somewhat disappointed, he knew that the other party had done their best. He nodded: "Good, thank you for your kindness."
"Then please accept these things!"
"No, you should keep it. I've had someone arrange a room for you next to Xiao Kai's. By the way, when are you going back?"
"If it's convenient, I won't be leaving anytime soon. I hope to see Li Sikai sober when I leave."
"Okay, then stay here and visit Xiao Kai every day to feed him. I'll have Qiu Man arrange your food and lodging."
Shen Yanming smiled: "You can arrange the accommodations yourself. As for food, Qiao An and I brought our own."
After saying that, he waved his hand, gesturing for General Li to look at the ring on his finger: "Engineer Jiang's invention is truly amazing; it has directly changed my lifestyle."
Li Zongmengguan looked at him with a half-smile, but didn't expose him.
"Alright, let Qiu Man take you to rest. You must be tired after the long flight. Go see Xiao Kai after you've rested."
Shen Yanming picked up the things on the ground and asked, "You trust us that much?"
"Yes, otherwise, would you harm Xiao Kai?" Chief Li said jokingly.
Shen Yanming shook his head firmly: "No!"
"That's right! Besides, you're not stupid. If you show up in the capital in broad daylight and something happens to Xiao Kai, wouldn't I hold you responsible?"
“That’s true!” Shen Yanming agreed.
"Alright, go ahead. I have a meeting to attend to, so I won't chat with you any longer," General Li waved his hand.
Shen Yanming nodded and said goodbye to Chief Alliance Officer Li. As soon as he came out, he saw Qiu Man waiting for him: "Let's go, I've already arranged accommodations for you."
"Okay!" The family of four followed, and after walking for about fifteen minutes, they arrived at the place Qiu Man had arranged for them.
“Xiao Kai’s ward is over there. I’ve already spoken to the security guard at the door. Once you’ve rested, you can go visit him.”
"Okay, thank you very much."
"I'm leaving now, I have to go back to a meeting."
"Yes, you're busy, please take care of yourself."
Qiu Man smiled and left.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan led An'an and Nuannuan into the house and discovered that it was made of light steel, similar to the mobile villa in the space.
The two-bedroom suite is not large, only about 40 square meters, but it has all the necessary functional areas.
