"Brother Lu Yuan, Brother Zhou? Sister Xiao Shan? Wow, you're all back?" The boy ran over excitedly, carrying the iron rod in his hand.
Lu Yuan looked at the iron rod in the other person's hand with some surprise.
"Young Master, what are you doing with that iron rod? By the way, why aren't you guys going back? Why are you standing here waiting for us?"
Xiao Kai shook his head: "No, something big has happened here!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that the incident had already occurred?
Lu Yuan then checked the time: December 5th.
It's about this time, not much different from what I recorded.
"Okay, let's talk as we walk! By the way, where are my parents and grandparents?"
"Okay, Brother Lu!" Xiao Kai put away his iron rod and led the way, saying, "On the seventh or eighth day after you left, there was another earthquake here. However, the earthquake was not very strong, and only a few mountains collapsed. There were no casualties. But that's not the worst thing. A new island has appeared on this combined island!"
"What? A new island? What does that mean?" Xiaoshan's father was a little confused.
"It's just that another new island drifted over and merged here!" Xiao Kai explained.
"Oh, this is quite common! What's there to worry about?"
"Sigh! A continental plate from another country has drifted over there! They're clamoring to unify this combined island! Now they're hunting down any forces that oppose them!"
"What? They...they're so arrogant? Don't they understand the concept of first come, first served?"
"Who can argue with that? But relying on their advanced weaponry, they launch devastating attacks on other forces. If anyone disagrees, they'll bring their men and seize all the food and supplies!"
"Damn it! These people are absolutely despicable! Isn't there any other force that can stop them? Don't we still have a few people from the mining areas here? They're quite powerful too! Are we just going to give in like this?"
Xiao Kai shook his head, indicating that these were things he couldn't possibly know, but the camp had already sent people to gather information, and they hadn't returned yet.
Lu Yuan and the others were getting anxious. If these people really took over the entire island, they would all become slaves. However, they couldn't figure out which country these outsiders came from.
Upon arriving at the campsite, they saw that Xiaoshan's family had returned. Lu's parents and grandparents all came out. The long-lost group was finally reunited, which inevitably stirred up some emotions.
After everyone had rested for a while, Lu Yuan brought out some food, and the family sat around the table and started asking about what had happened earlier.
Grandpa and Grandma are getting old, so it's understandable that they felt a little upset when they heard about it. Therefore, everyone glossed over some of the more dangerous situations, but everyone knew that the journey was definitely not that simple.
After everyone finished eating, the family members were still reluctant to go back to rest, so they continued to talk about Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan's wedding.
"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, I plan to hold a proper ceremony for this. It's a way of making amends to Xiaoshan. We can't just do it casually!"
Grandpa nodded: "That's right! That's right! Nothing, no matter how big the problem, can stop you two from getting married! It'll be a grand affair, a really grand affair!"
Grandma smiled through her tears and said, "Yes, we should get married soon so we can hold our great-grandchild as soon as possible!"
Xiao Shan's face flushed slightly, but she didn't refuse. Her eyes were full of sweetness. Being able to see Lu Yuan again was her greatest hope. She only wanted to spend the rest of her life with Lu Yuan. Nothing else mattered.
Xiao Shan's father said with a somewhat serious expression, "But... when we came here, we heard that there was some trouble. It seems that people from the United States have come here. They might come back and cause trouble!"
Xiao Shan's mother was also still shaken: "How about we keep it simple? We don't have any special requirements. As long as Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan are happy and sweet together, that's all that matters. We really don't care about anything else. Lu Yuan, your in-laws, and your uncle and aunt, let's keep this simple!"
This time, however, Lu's father did not back down at all: "That won't do. This is the most important event in the young couple's lives. We must make it a big celebration. Even if this damned apocalypse is over, it will take at least several decades to rebuild. We can't wait that long! We can't let Xiaoshan down."
Xiao Shan smiled sweetly, took Lu Yuan's arm, and said, "Mom and Dad, don't argue. I really don't need to go through all that trouble. Let's save some money. We can just hold it again after this mess is over!"
Lu Yuan gently patted Xiao Shan's hand and said, "It's okay. I promised you, and I will definitely keep my promise. If anyone tries to cause trouble, humph! I'll make them regret it!"
Lu Yuan's words were filled with strong confidence, and the family felt somewhat comforted looking at him. Xiao Shan's father and mother exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
"Alright, since Lu Yuan is determined to do it, we can't stop him!"
Lu Yuan set the wedding date for December 15th of that month. Although it wasn't a particularly auspicious day, in this post-apocalyptic world, where were there any auspicious days? Being able to get married smoothly and share in the joy was already considered a great celebration for people at this time.
Lu Yuan has been extremely busy lately. On one hand, he needs to take care of his wedding. He doesn't want to have any regrets about his once-in-a-lifetime wedding, so he has to keep busy. On the other hand, there are his planting fields, breeding farms, and ponds. Although there is a catalyst, the growth rate of these organisms is still not up to standard. Lu Yuan can only make a trip every day to secretly add some feed to improve their growth rate.
