Nanxing drew his sword without hesitation. When Li Zihao died, his eyes were still blank, clearly not understanding why he was gone.
Banxia skillfully put on rubber gloves and touched the corpse. There were two packs of compressed biscuits, three melted chocolates, and a gold watch. "He actually had more stuff on him than those two small fry leaders."
Nanxing's reaction wasn't surprising; Li Zihao was known for his cunning and especially his ability to please wealthy patrons.
The supermarket didn't look big, but the warehouse inside was quite large, and they even secretly dug a cellar. But no matter how much preparation they made, it all benefited her now.
Banxia looked around and put the shelves into her space. The space had food and clothing, which wasn't unusual. The most unexpected find was several sets of acid rain protective suits.
The two encountered no obstacles or troubles on their journey home and arrived home safely.
Nanxing parked the car: "Honey, I'm going to check if anyone's home next door or across the street."
“Okay,” Banxia released the four fluffy creatures and two mutated trees out of her space, “to help with the cleaning.”
Because of its high altitude, the negative impact of sandstorms on Miaomiao Mountain is not as great as in the city, but the yard and windows are still covered in dust.
Not long after, Nanxing returned and joined the cleaning team: "Su Yao and Brother Yuan just got home too."
"Is everyone alright?"
"No one was injured, everyone is safe."
...
After cleaning the house, the family took a nice bath, ate, and slept soundly until nine o'clock the next morning.
Banxia hugged Nanxing's arm and couldn't help but sigh, "Home is still the best."
Although I spent most of my time away from home, I always felt tense after being away for a few days. As soon as I got home, I unconsciously relaxed.
Nanxing felt the same way. Although they had only lived in Miaomiao Mountain for a year and three months, they had experienced a lot and had developed a strong sense of belonging without realizing it.
He casually toyed with Banxia's hair, which had grown to below her shoulders: "Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and Su Yao said we should celebrate properly."
Su Yao is a person who loves life, and even the apocalypse did not make him feel down all the time.
Banxia admired people who always held onto hope: "How should we celebrate?"
“He found a bag of balloons and fairy lights in the supermarket,” Nanxing couldn’t help but laugh, “and is going to invite us to a party.”
It's called a party, but it's really just a gathering to eat, drink, play games, and relax.
Banxia suddenly became interested as well. She hadn't properly celebrated New Year's Day for several years: "There are ribbons and flowers in the space. Remind me to bring them when I go there tomorrow."
The ribbons were prepared by Nanxing for the wedding.
"We'll take some time this afternoon to prepare some fries, fried chicken, and other snacks."
"Prepare more; gold and silver also need to celebrate."
The next morning, the two of them carried their things to visit their neighbor next door.
Fang Yunyun opened the door, about to loudly welcome her, but her entire gaze was drawn to the flowers in Banxia's arms: "My God, tulips!"
"Tulips?" Su Xiao, who had been pulled over by Da Ju, chimed in, "Banxia, you've acquired another mutated plant?"
Banxia handed over the pink tulip in her arms: "No, Sister Yunyun, Sister Xiaoxiao, this is something I created using my wood-type ability."
Fang Yunyun is enamored with tulips. Nowadays, the mutated plants are becoming more and more ferocious. Just a few days ago, she was ambushed by a seemingly withered jasmine tree. If she hadn't reacted quickly and had Su Yao and Su Xiao help her, she probably would have been dead!
Su Yao was inside blowing up balloons with his cheeks puffed out when he saw the two of them and waved eagerly, "Come help me blow up balloons!"
Heaven knows why blowing up balloons is so difficult; his cheeks were practically killing him.
Banxia hurriedly pulled out an air pump from her spatial storage: "Use this!"
Su Yao looked at the more than one hundred balloons piled up in the corner of the living room with suspicion, and was dumbfounded: "How come you even have an air pump in your house?"
Banxia was somewhat at a loss for words: "Didn't you send the link to Nanxing?"
Before the apocalypse, when Nanxing was preparing wedding supplies, Su Yao would occasionally lend a hand when he had free time.
Su Yao collapsed onto the sofa in utter despair, hugging the orange tabby and feigning tears: "Waaah, how could I forget that? I stupidly blew up over a hundred balloons! Over a hundred!"
Fang Yunyun slapped him: "Stop being silly! You were the one who suggested the party, get up and get to work!"
Not long after, Cai Yuan and Zhao Xuan from across the street also arrived with their things. The men moved to the kitchen, while Banxia, Fang Yunyun, and Su Xiao took over the task of decorating the living room.
The living room of Su Yao's house is mainly decorated in a refreshing off-white color. After being decorated with ribbons, balloons and fresh flowers, it really has a festive atmosphere.
Su Yao raised his glass: "Happy New Year! Congratulations on us all still being alive!"
Banxia and the others also raised their glasses: "Happy New Year! I hope we can spend every year together in the future."
Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a peaceful and safe new year!
Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a year filled with plenty of food and drink!
...
After the round of blessings, everyone buried themselves in their food.
To celebrate the hard-won peace, the three families brought out their best treasures: Su Yao's century-old red wine, Cai Yuan's three-year-old ham, Banxia's seafood, and with the addition of Nanxing and the others' excellent cooking skills, the feast was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making everyone's mouths water.
The meal lasted for more than an hour, and by the end, almost everyone had to leave the table supporting their backs.
"Burp—" Su Yao let out a burp and lay back on the sofa. "If this were a year ago, even if I was starving, I wouldn't dare to eat my fill."
"Who says otherwise?" Fang Yunyun said with a look of regret. "If I had known that one day I would crave seafood so much that I would almost cry, why would I have bothered to lose weight!"
To look good on camera, almost all celebrities eat a diet designed for weight loss year-round. Fang Yunyun is prone to weight gain; before the apocalypse, she didn't dare eat much beef and mostly lived on grass.
Nanxing, Cai Yuan, and Zhao Xuan couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. What they missed was not just delicious food, but also the time to enjoy life without any worries.
Banxia and Su Xiao, who could eat whatever they wanted without gaining weight and weren't involved in any fandoms, exchanged a glance and decided to remain silent to avoid attracting hatred.
Zhao Xuan took out a box of digestive tablets from his spatial storage: "Do you want some?"
Su Yao, Fang Yunyun, and Cai Yuan all said in unison, "Yes!"
Cai Yuan tossed a digestive tablet into his mouth and chewed: "So much time has passed since the apocalypse, how are other places doing?"
Su Yao picked up the conversation, full of hope, and said, "I heard that Li Kongyuan said that in the southwest and northwest regions where the base was first established, order has always been firmly in the hands of the government. Maybe in a few years, the whole country will be able to gradually return to normal."
Banxia said with absolute certainty, "It's impossible for it to be that fast!"
Su Yao had this misconception because guns and cannons had caused enormous damage to zombies and mutated plants and animals over the past year.
But now zombies and mutated plants and animals have evolved once again, and in just two or three years, the whole world will become their paradise.
