Shen Yanming's Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt a warm sensation in his nose.
"I just looked in the mirror and realized my skin looks terrible. I was thinking of using the spiritual spring water to restore it, but then I thought that too much change would arouse suspicion, so I had to give up. This crisis is really something; I can't even do skincare."
Bi Qiaoan's words, a mix of complaining and coquetry, left Shen Yanming somewhat defenseless.
She rubbed her rumbling stomach and pouted, "So hungry!"
Then I took some food from the shelf and put it on the coffee table. "Honey, what did you eat for dinner? Are you hungry?"
Shen Yanming licked his lips: "Hmm, I am a little hungry!"
Bi Qiaoan was a little surprised and took some bread and milk from the shelf: "Find a chance to eat something. With so much food around, how can you let yourself go hungry?"
Shen Yanming...that's not what he meant!
"It's okay, you eat first. I'll find a chance... I'll definitely eat my fill!"
Bi Qiaoan nodded: "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Oh, it smells so good! It's been so long since I've had such a satisfying meal!"
Shen Yanming's voice was a little hoarse: "Yes, eat."
He just wants to go into his spatial dimension and hug his wife, but she only disappeared last night, and if she disappears again today, won't that be...?
Forget it, let's talk about it later. Being able to watch my wife eat, drink, and sleep like this is already pretty good.
Shen Yanming walked back to the cave with a slightly heavy heart. Others glanced at him but didn't say anything before closing their eyes again.
He sat in the corner, thinking about his wife's beautiful figure, and couldn't fall asleep.
Nuannuan looked at her father with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with him tonight. She had thought he was going to go into his "dream" to find his mother, but alas!
The little girl was so disappointed, but she didn't dare to say it.
The night was quiet and passed quickly.
After eating and drinking her fill, Bi Qiaoan brushed her teeth in the storage area, then lay down on the big bed and fell asleep.
However, she set an alarm on her phone for 5:30 in the morning. She was afraid that An'an would be scared if she woke up and couldn't see her.
Although Shen Yanming was upset, he was exhausted after a long day, and soon after Bi Qiaoan fell asleep, he also closed his eyes.
The next day was cloudy.
Shen Yanming had just woken up when he heard his smart bracelet "ding". He looked closely and found a new message.
Qinghe Alliance: "Dear citizens, we apologize for the lateness of this announcement. Both the Qinghua Kingdom and the Qinghe Alliance have suffered significant losses this time, and we are deeply saddened. However, the Qinghua are a great nation; we are indomitable and will forge ahead bravely to overcome this difficulty!"
Next, I want to say that, according to research by scientific institutes, seafood from seawater is temporarily unsafe to consume due to excessive levels of bacteria and viruses, otherwise it may cause disease. However, distilled water obtained from seawater distillation is drinkable, but it is necessary to pay attention to handling procedures to avoid introducing unknown bacteria (viruses).
Although this news is a bit late, and many citizens have already... We regret this, but researchers rushed to the site from the Kunming Mountains, and sampling, testing, and research all take time. Especially today, with things not going smoothly in many ways, we have done our best.
However, there was some good news. The guard teams have been dispatched to their respective encampments to oversee the reconstruction efforts.
Due to the widespread damage and large number of people affected by this tsunami, the alliance has decided that all members may return to their original place of residence or register with the nearest local security team once the roads have completely dried. From now on, the security teams will take over the management of the city (township).
To better guide you, the technology department has improved the map on the smart bracelet, clearly marking the locations of various security teams. Please rest assured that you will not be refused service.
......”
Shen Yanming read it carefully and discovered a lot of hidden information. He smiled and felt that he hadn't made a mistake in clinging to this powerful patron.
The alliance must have suffered losses, otherwise they wouldn't have waited until now to release the news. The higher-ups are probably taking refuge in the Kunmeng Mountains. During this time, they have not only arranged research work but also sent guards back to their garrison cities to oversee the overall situation.
The research institute's delayed results are likely due to equipment limitations or other reasons. The security team, on the other hand, may have just completed their relocation before releasing the news.
The Qinghe Alliance, considering the bigger picture, does not want any unrest. Every inch of Qinghua Kingdom's land must be firmly in their own hands.
The league did not abandon them; the guards are waiting for them to come home.
Shen Yanming recalled Qi Xili's words: "If you can pull through, we'll meet again in Haishi."
He will go back. Even if there is space to live anywhere, that is the only place that is home!
Shen Yanming didn't know how he managed to restrain himself from shouting. He took a few deep breaths before shaking his hands and waking the person next to him: "Get up! Look, the alliance has news!"
"What?" The man had just woken up from his sleep and was still a little dazed.
Shen Yanming stretched out his left hand in front of the other person: "Look, the alliance sent a message. They haven't given up on us."
"What? You mean it?" The man finally understood Shen Yanming's words and jumped up excitedly, startling the others who were still asleep.
He didn't even bother to apologize, and started waking them up one by one: "Wake up, the league has sent a message, read it before you go back to sleep!"
These words exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap, and everyone was incredibly excited. The person who had just woken up even tried to grab Shen Yanming's wrist to check the news.
Comrade Shen was a little embarrassed. He withdrew his hand and said, "The message is too long. Sit down and read it slowly. I'm going to the restroom."
"Okay, I understand. Go and come back quickly, we'll discuss it properly in a bit."
Shen Yanming found it somewhat amusing, thinking to himself, "You don't know anything yet, but you're already thinking about discussing things. I don't even know what you want to discuss."
However, she still smiled and nodded, "Okay, right away!" Then she picked up Nuannuan and went out.
A cool morning breeze brushed against her skin, and Nuannuan shivered, waking up. Then a sneeze landed on Shen Yanming's face, causing Old Shen to frown, but he quickly recovered.
"Baby, what's wrong? Are you cold?"
Nuannuan nodded, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms: "A little."
Shen Yanming took out a small jacket from his backpack and draped it over Nuannuan, then put the cup into his spatial storage, filled it with hot milk, and took it out again.
"Drink it, baby!"
Nuannuan held the thermos cup, put it to her lips to test the temperature, and found it to be just right – neither too hot nor too cold.
She drank about half a glass before she couldn't drink anymore. She handed it back to Shen Yanming, saying, "Dad, you drink it!"
Shen Yanming didn't mind his daughter's saliva and drank it all in no time.
That's why we dared to take the cup out and use it only after discovering the river. Otherwise, people might have asked us where the water came from.
After drinking the milk and eating a few pieces of dried meat, they waited with their mouths open until the smell had mostly dissipated before slowly walking back hand in hand.
