Sensing something was amiss, they rushed back to the base.
After resting, I realized that I was exhausted both physically and mentally.
I didn't do anything, I just lay in bed quietly thinking.
I don't know how long it lasted, maybe an hour, maybe two, but eventually they couldn't stay in bed any longer. They went downstairs to the living room and sat down in pairs.
"Oh, you're all here too."
When Qiu Fengyu and Tian Tian came downstairs, they saw that Shao Jie and the others were already sitting on the sofa, idly spacing out.
Seeing them come down, Shao Jie and the others weren't very enthusiastic. They just greeted them once and that was it.
"You're all down here already? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"I can't sleep, how about you guys?"
Shao Jie glanced at her, looking rather helpless. "Same here."
Tian Tian, like a lazy cat, slumped on the sofa, staring blankly out the door.
Just then, footsteps sounded on the stairs again.
They all turned to look and saw that it was Meng Yang and the others coming down.
"Why did they all come down?"
Tian Tian asked, puzzled, "Does that mean we can't talk about it?"
Seeing them sit down, and glancing at their expressions, well, no need to say more, they're just being used.
And so, apart from Li Xiao and the others, everyone gathered here.
No one thought about why Li Xiao and the others hadn't come down twice; they were the only ones missing.
They're a couple, wouldn't they be crazy if they didn't want to spend time together?
Neither of them said anything; they just stayed together quietly, each lost in their own thoughts.
The peace was broken only when Li Xiao and the others came down.
"Aren't they sleeping at all?"
Li Xiao chuckled lightly, but quickly composed herself.
"Why are you all coming down here?"
Shao Jie replied, "Same as you guys, I can't sleep either."
As he spoke, Shao Jie turned around and looked towards the door.
The sky was overcast, with layers of clouds piled up one after another, so thick that it made it hard to breathe.
The oppressive heaviness of an old cell phone can be intimidating.
"Should we prepare something?" Zheng Yongnian asked.
Shao Jie asked in surprise, "Prepare for what? Do you know what will happen next?"
Zheng Yongnian fell silent.
"Summer, rainy season, what comes next? Guess?" Tian Tian looked at everyone.
"I don't know, it's hard to guess." Li Xiao shook her head.
"Yes, what comes next may be experiences we haven't had, or it may be experiences we have had; who can say for sure?"
Meng Yang sat on the sofa with a thoughtful expression, his hands supporting his chin and his elbows resting on his knees.
Tian Tian suddenly looked at him: "Uncle Meng, are you saying that it's possible that the weather is the same as what we've already experienced?"
Seeing her wide, surprised eyes, Meng Yang didn't try to fool her.
"Yes, there's no rule that says you don't have to go through it again once you've experienced it. Nobody made that rule. Besides, isn't this the apocalypse? What's impossible?"
Tian Tian: “…”
After hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense.
I felt even more agitated.
That's what makes the unknown so unsettling.
"Alright, we can't guess anything anyway, so let's just leave it at that. Eat and drink well, get some rest, and wait for the results."
Cheng Shaolin's words hit the nail on the head.
"That's the only way." Yu Yanbin lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Peng calmly. "Let's fill our stomachs first."
For the next two days, the group ate and drank, waiting anxiously for the results.
During this time, Shao Jie would occasionally go to the base to gather information.
It is still very necessary to understand what other people do.
Recently, there has been a lot of anxiety and fear in the base, with people feeling uneasy and panicked about what will happen next.
There might even be some unrest and disputes. Faced with an uncertain future, taking precautions is a very direct thought for some people.
This has led some people to stockpile things in advance, thinking they will need them in the future.
With a large number of people, disputes and disturbances are inevitable.
With the base's intervention, the situation was still under control and did not cause greater unrest.
Having a stable and reliable base provides people with a sense of security even in times of instability.
Li Xiao and the others didn't need to do anything; they just stayed in the villa to recuperate.
The term "cultivation" was coined by someone else.
This other person is Zheng Zihao, whom they met during a previous mission, and who had gone through the Osmanthus Incident together.
The one whose life was saved when Cheng Shaolin grabbed him from behind.
Because they had been through thick and thin together, and because he was grateful for being rescued, Zheng Zihao would often keep in touch with them afterwards.
They'll share any news or information they know when they come to visit.
He had said that Li Xiao and his group were recuperating.
The base warned that it was best not to go out, in case the weather changed and they were unable to return to the base in time, which could lead to an accident.
The Chaoyang Squad is the team that strictly followed the base's announcement.
He stayed obediently at the base and didn't go anywhere, not even leaving his residence, but staying in the villa to recuperate and strengthen his body.
Today, Zheng Zihao, who had nothing to do, came to the villa and sat on the sofa to chat with them.
"Look at you guys, so unhurried and not asking around, you really seem like you're just looking to retire."
Shao Jie smiled and said, "We're here to retire anyway."
"Pah! Who dares to talk about retirement these days? Only you guys do."
Shao Jie just smiled and didn't reply.
"Hey, what's up with you guys lately? You seem to be making quite a few moves?"
Zheng Zihao was lying on the sofa when he heard Shao Jie's question, so he sat up a little.
"Oh, you mean this?"
