The two didn't fall asleep until very late, exhausted.
The next morning, Ye Yunxi woke up and turned to see Fu Heng looking at her. Curious, she asked him a question.
What are you looking at me for?
Fu Heng gave a mischievous smile and said.
"Look at my Xixi sleeping, I must say, she looks so cute when she's sleeping!"
Ye Yunxi rolled her eyes at Fu Heng and said.
"Smooth-talking!"
After saying that, he got up, went to take a shower, and when he came out, Ye Yunxi asked him what he wanted to eat.
Fu Heng looked at Ye Yunxi and replied, "I'm fine with anything."
Ye Yunxi thought for a moment. "Let's eat xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), it's been so long since I've had them."
Fu Heng nodded, got up, washed up, and went downstairs with Ye Yunxi.
Seeing that no one was downstairs, Xuan Yu must not have gotten up yet.
Regardless of his portion, Ye Yunxi took out xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), mixed noodles, mixed rice noodles, steamed dumplings, and two cups of soy milk from her spatial storage.
The two began to eat slowly at the table.
When they were halfway through their meal, Hyun-woo and Yun-ja came downstairs. Hyun-woo smiled and said to them...
"Good morning, little master! It smells delicious! What did you eat for breakfast?"
Fu Heng didn't look at him, nor did he raise his eyes to speak.
"Xiaolongbao, steamed dumplings, and mixed noodles."
Ye Yunxi urged him to come and eat with her, taking out noodles, steamed buns, dumplings, and soy milk from her spatial storage, and told Xuan Yu to eat quickly.
I took some food from my spatial storage and fed it to Yunzi. I'll try to feed it well these next two days. Once we're out of the base, I'll only be able to secretly feed it when no one is around.
Ye Yunxi returned to the dining table to continue eating breakfast.
After they finished eating, they tidied up briefly and prepared to head out to the base building.
After the three of them finished getting ready, they took Yunzi with them and went out. Ye Yunxi closed the door, got into the car, and went to find Chief Wu with Fu Heng and Xuan Yu.
Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the base building. Fu Heng parked the car, and the three of them got out together.
Ye Yunxi took out her phone and dialed Zhou Yuan's number, telling him that they had arrived at the entrance of the base building.
Zhou Yuan said, "Yunxi, wait for me a moment, I'll be right out."
Ye Yunxi hummed in agreement and hung up the phone, telling Fu Heng and Xuan Yu that Zhou Yuan would be coming over later.
Neither of them said anything, and a short while later, Zhou Yuan ran out of the base building.
Seeing Ye Yunxi and the other two, he said with a smile.
"Yunxi, Xiaoheng, Xuanyu, good morning! Have you had breakfast yet?"
Fu Heng replied with a smile, "We've already eaten. Has Uncle Zhou eaten?"
"We've already eaten. Let's go inside. Commander Wu is waiting for you."
Zhou Yuan urged Ye Yunxi and the others.
Ye Yunxi and the other two followed Zhou Yuan into the base building.
Fu Heng took the initiative to ask Zhou Yuan.
"Uncle Zhou, do you know why Commander Wu called us here?"
Zhou Yuan stopped and smiled at them.
"Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious, don't worry, it's definitely a good thing for you!"
After saying this, Zhou Yuan smiled and walked ahead, not caring whether they responded or not.
Fu Heng and the other two looked at each other, completely bewildered and unsure of what to say.
Following Zhou Yuan's footsteps, they went inside.
Zhou Yuan led Ye Yunxi and the other two to the third floor of the base building. The third floor contained the base commander's office and several other rooms.
They arrived at the base commander's office door, and Zhou Yuan gently knocked on the door and said...
"Base Commander, Yunxi and the others have arrived."
The voice of Base Chief Wu came from inside.
"Come in!"
Zhou Yuan opened the door and went in first, followed by Ye Yunxi, Fu Heng, Xuan Yu, and Yun Zi.
They greeted Commander Wu upon seeing him.
When Chief Wu saw Ye Yunxi and the others come in, he greeted them with a smile.
"Yunxi, you're here! Come, come, come and sit down."
Then he said to Zhou Yuan, "Xiao Zhou, could you please pour them a glass of water?"
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng sat on the sofa, looking at Commander Wu.
Commander Wu sat opposite them and said with a smile.
"Thank you very much for your invitation yesterday, but something came up and I couldn't go. So I asked Xiao Zhou to bring some drinks for you to try."
Ye Yunxi looked at Wu Ji and said politely.
"Chief Wu is too kind. He even had Uncle Zhou send over such precious wine for us."
"Hey, what's so precious about it? It's all for drinking," said Chief Wu, waving his hand.
She continued, "By the way, the reason I called you here today is to tell you something. The weather station has been reporting that an earthquake is predicted in the near future, and two active volcanoes are also preparing to erupt."
"We don't know when this earthquake and volcanic eruption will happen. You all need to take good care of yourselves while you're out here. It's not like being at the base."
Ye Yunxi had heard about earthquakes and volcanic eruptions some time ago, and asked with some concern.
"Chief Wu, may I ask, how close is the volcano to our base? Is there any danger?"
After a moment of contemplation, Commander Wu said...
"Don't worry about that, the volcano is still far from our First Base. However... however, it's closer to the Seventh Base. But I've already notified their base to evacuate quickly and take refuge in a safe place."
Fu Heng then asked Base Chief Wu, "What about an earthquake? What will our base do then? Do we have any new countermeasures?"
After thinking for a moment, Commander Wu spoke to them.
"There's still some time before the earthquake strikes, and nowhere will be safe during that time. When it does happen, we'll try our best to find a flatter place to take refuge. I estimate that this earthquake will claim many more lives."
Commander Wu felt a pang of sadness at the thought of losing so many people again.
Although many humans have died over the years, he could not bear to watch them perish one by one.
Fu Heng, Ye Yunxi, and Xuan Yu were somewhat shocked by what Base Chief Wu said.
They were almost out of the base when they were about to be hit by an earthquake and a volcanic eruption.
They didn't know what to do either, but as long as the base commander came up with a solution, that would be fine.
Fu Heng looked at the base commander and said to him.
"Base Commander, did you send us here just to tell us this?"
Commander Wu snapped out of his daze, heard what Fu Heng said, and then smiled and said...
"That's one reason. I'm telling you this so that when you're out there, you shouldn't go to places with volcanoes. If there's an earthquake, try to find a stable place to take refuge."
Secondly, you've gone out this time, and we don't know when you'll be back. However, as long as the base still exists, I will preserve all your houses and have Xiao Li and the others look after them for you, ready to wait for your return to the base.
Also, you'll probably need a lot of weapons on this trip, so I've already asked Xiao Zhou to prepare some for you. You can take some back and share them with the others. Don't refuse; it's a thank-you gift, after all, you've provided a lot of convenience and value to the base since you came.”
