(Previous experience has taught me that writing erotic fiction is not for me, so I'll omit 10,000 words in the middle.)
"My head hurts so much!"
Lying in bed, Jiang Yuan vaguely sensed a blinding light. He reached out his hand to his side, but the empty space made him panic.
"Yanlan?" Jiang Yuan barely opened his eyes, but the figure on the bed was gone.
Where are they?
Jiang Yuan was a little dazed. He looked out the window and saw that it was already one or two in the afternoon. He had no habit of oversleeping.
"What happened last night?" Jiang Yuan frowned and began to recall.
...
Jiang Yuan realized, "Yan Lan didn't give me some kind of powerful sleeping pill, did she?!"
He was internally devastated, but now that he thinks about it, Ning Yanlan's condition at the time was indeed not right.
However, he had just woken up and wasn't thinking much about it, so he didn't suspect anything and just ate it.
"What the hell? Why are you giving me that stuff?"
It would be a lie to say Jiang Yuan wasn't bewildered. He leaned against the headboard, picked up a pack of cigarettes left by Ning Yanlan, and started smoking without a second thought, while also looking around the room.
The two little ones were tucked into the closet last night and are now sleeping peacefully.
"What's this?"
Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on the bedside table, where there was a note. Needless to say, it was left by Ning Yanlan.
He walked over and picked it up.
"Jiang Yuan, there are some things I need to do. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye!"
"I've put everything I've acquired during this time into your storage ring. Don't ask me why I'm wearing it on your ring finger; it's because I like it!"
Jiang Yuan glanced at his left hand, where a storage ring was quietly worn. He gave a wry smile, "What's the point of this?"
To be honest, he really didn't know what Ning Yanlan wanted to do.
"And take good care of Peppa and George. Don't always think about eating them. We watched them being born. I won't forgive you if you really eat them!"
"Just consider last night's encounter a one-night stand, don't miss me too much."
After reading the four lines, Jiang Yuan's expression changed. "Could it be that they went to the warlord's place?!"
This is the only reason why Ning Yanlan left without saying goodbye!
"Go take a look!" Jiang Yuan habitually flipped the note over, and on the back was Ning Yanlan's delicate handwriting.
"Silly boy, I was just joking with you. I didn't wake you up this morning because you looked too tired. But I had something to do this morning, so I'm leaving now."
"Come find me here! If you're in a hurry, you might even be able to have dinner with me!"
"Basement of Building No. 1, Mingshan Street, Yangxing District, Nancheng!"
Below the note was a simple line drawing of a map.
"Phew, I thought you really went to the warlord!" Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It would be unwise for Ning Yanlan to confront the warlord head-on with her current strength. Moreover, the data on the USB drive had been destroyed, so Ning Yanlan had no bargaining power.
Jiang Yuan dressed quickly and rushed downstairs without even washing up. "Sister Li, please take care of Peppa and George for me."
"Jiang Yuan, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Li Xiang asked.
"It's alright, I'll go find Yanlan!" Jiang Yuan laughed. People are in high spirits when they have good news, you wouldn't believe it if you didn't laugh!
"Yanlan? She hasn't come down yet!" Li Xiang asked in surprise.
“She told me, so I’m going to find her now. Don’t wait for us if we’re not back by tonight!” Jiang Yuan said.
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he went straight outside. When he saw the 'borrowed' car, he was a little puzzled. "Didn't she drive?"
"Fine, I'll drive!"
This car originally didn't have a key, but Ning Yanlan modified it so it could be driven without a key. The only downside was that it was easy for people to 'borrow' it. However, after the cataclysm, there were cars everywhere, and no one would be so bored as to 'borrow' your car.
Jiang Yuan was both amused and exasperated when he opened the car door, because a sticky note was stuck to the car.
"If you can't drive, don't drive. Be careful not to crash!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
He silently tore off the sticky note and stuffed it into his pocket; the words were clearly left by Ning Yanlan.
"I learned something this simple a long time ago!" Jiang Yuan sat down and found that there were sticky notes all around the driver's seat.
Like the accelerator and the brake!
There are also sticky notes reminding people not to speed and to pay attention to the road.
"This woman is so afraid that something will happen to me!" Jiang Yuan not only found it funny, but also felt a sense of gratitude.
After starting the car, Jiang Yuan glanced at the map on the note. "I'd like to see what interesting things you're up to!"
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yuan was already speeding down the road. After being modified by the gene serum, Jiang Yuan's abilities in all aspects far surpassed those of ordinary people. He could easily drive a car at the level of a race car driver.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the address recorded on the note, and it was at this moment that Jiang Yuan noticed something strange.
It's out of gas!
"Why do I feel like I've fallen for Yanlan's trap?" Jiang Yuan wondered.
The car's fuel seemed to have been calculated precisely, only enough for one trip to Mingshan Street. Moreover, upon arriving at his destination, he discovered that although the place existed, it was surrounded by ruins, meaning it was the area most severely affected by the disaster.
As for his destination, he didn't need to look for it at all, because there wasn't a single building standing on the entire street.
"Go and investigate, and you'll find out!"
With about a hundred meters left, Jiang Yuan had no choice but to walk.
They had arrived at Building No. 1. Jiang Yuan glanced at the building; it was a very ordinary residential building. Since Ning Yanlan had warned him about the basement, Jiang Yuan also took a look and, sure enough, found the entrance to the basement in an inconspicuous corner.
"What is Yanlan doing in a place like this?" Jiang Yuan wondered, but after thinking for a moment, he went inside anyway.
As Jiang Yuan ventured deeper into the basement, his confusion deepened. This place didn't resemble a residential building at all, both in terms of the building's layout and the materials used.
Unlike typical residential building basements, this place is so narrow that it's barely wide enough for one person to pass through. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly opens up into a bright and spacious area. The unremarkable entrance at first has now become a wide-open, flat space.
And the building materials—the ubiquitous, unidentified steel frames—made this basement stand out from the crowd.
With a series of clicks, the motion-sensor lights came on, and just as he could make out the overall structure of the basement, his heart skipped a beat. At the same time, another strong vibration began to resound.
With a loud crash, a massive stone door appeared behind him, cutting off any possibility of him retreating.
"We've been tricked!"
