Hiding in the dimensional space, Lu Yuan was finally able to catch his breath for a while.
However, he was more worried about the sturdiness of the small wooden box. If the wooden box were to be broken, the dimensional crystal might fall into the flood.
If things get even more unfortunate and one falls into a crevice in a collapsing building, there will truly be no way to escape.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Sitting under the golden fruit tree, Lu Yuan felt his mind was in a mess and he couldn't think straight at all.
Xiao Shan walked closer and gently took Lu Yuan's hand.
Your hands are so cold!
Lu Yuan sighed, "The metropolitan area is completely finished! I still couldn't escape it in the end! Now it seems we can only wait! I wonder how Zhou Tong and the others are doing! I wonder if the middle-level managers have encountered any danger!"
Xiao Shan gently comforted her, "Don't worry! You need to rest now. Take this time to take a shower, change your clothes, and get a good night's sleep. Maybe you'll have a chance to leave the city tomorrow!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yeah! It seems that's the only way to think about it! I'm going to take a shower!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan got up and went to the shower room for a refreshing shower.
As the water from the showerhead washed over his body, Lu Yuan's mind was still filled with the events that had occurred in the city.
Collapsed rock layers, fallen steel frames, collapsed buildings, and countless corpses—all of this flashed through Lu Yuan's mind like a movie.
After taking a shower, Lu Yuan felt much more awake. He had already done enough, but there were always idiots causing trouble. Lu Yuan was helpless; he had run out of options. He was in this predicament entirely because of them.
Lu Yuan even regretted coming to the underground fortress with everyone. If they were living on the surface now, would they be living a happy life?
Thinking about this, Lu Yuan felt a bit foolish. There's no going back in life. Since he had already done it, he had to pay the price for his actions.
After changing her clothes, Xiaoshan placed the hot soup and food on the table, her eyes full of concern.
"Eat something, then go to sleep!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay! Eat first, then go to sleep! I don't want to think about anything else!"
Xiao Shan then grinned and smiled slightly, before stopping Lu Yuan and sitting down in his seat.
Listening to Xiao Shan recount the interesting things that happened at school, Lu Yuan gradually forgot about those unpleasant things. After finishing his meal, Lu Yuan lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Lu Yuan, who hadn't slept for a long time, was completely exhausted.
Xiao Shan sat on the edge of the bed watching Lu Yuan sleep peacefully, and couldn't help but smile.
Since regaining her memories, Xiao Shan has been hoping that Lu Yuan can spend more time by her side in the future.
Lu Yuan slept for a very long time. When he woke up and checked the time, he realized that he had slept for more than twenty hours.
Seeing Lu Yuan wake up, Xiao Shan walked over with a smile and gently took Lu Yuan's hand and placed it on her stomach.
"Did you sleep well?"
Lu Yuan nodded gently, all the jumbled thoughts in his mind now forgotten.
The only regret was that Zhou Tong had been left outside, which made Lu Yuan feel a little sorry for Old Zhou.
"Have something to eat! I'll take you to explore the new town later?"
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback: "Isn't the new city not finished yet?"
"Haha! It seems you still don't know the current situation! It's almost October! The first commercial building in the new city has officially opened! Our first shopping mall has also officially opened! Today is the first day of opening!"
"I didn't expect it to be so fast! Only three months have passed, and a building has already been completed!"
"Yes! That's right! Ye Hua has really gone to great lengths for this. Before, when we lived here, all we did was stay at home and work. We didn't even have a basic place for entertainment! Now that this shopping mall has opened, it should be our first place for entertainment and leisure!"
Lu Yuan scratched his head: "By the way, what's in this mall? What kind of things does it sell?"
"Um……"
Xiao Shan pinched her lips and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm not really sure about that either. When we were setting up this mall, I heard from our dad that it was specifically for selling food and daily necessities!"
"Um... sell? What... what currency is used for this sale? I don't think we've had a new currency yet!"
"Haha! Of course not! But where there are people, there are places to spend money. Do you remember those leave slips we made back then?"
Lu Yuan suddenly realized: "So these leave slips were used as currency!"
"Yes! That's right! But we high-level people don't need these things! It's good to just watch the fun! By the way! I even asked Wang Mingming to get me two movie tickets!"
After saying that, Xiaoshan took the two movie tickets out of her pocket as if presenting a treasure.
"Oh! There's a movie too!"
"Yes! That's right! But they're all old movies! Now the mall has a movie theater, which is only open on Saturdays and Sundays! Today is Saturday! I expect it will be very crowded!"
"Haha! That sounds quite interesting! I used to only think about surviving and completely overlooked this! It seems that our people need not only food, but also spiritual nourishment!"
