The little whale stared with its tiny eyes, which darted around, and stayed obediently in Chen Zui's arms, occasionally whispering a question or two, such as, "Where are we going?" or "What is this thing?"
Chen would explain to her what he knew best, and if he didn't know, he would simply say he didn't know.
However, He Shengyou, who was standing nearby, would also explain it to it.
The little whale was really adorable and well-behaved. It never dawdled while doing its work and even made them laugh.
Over the past few days, everyone has grown to love this little whale demon.
The little whale leaned against the airplane window, looking at the sky outside with a look of surprise: "Wow, this is so high!"
It has always lived in the sea and has never flown into the sky. Its mother said that it will only have the chance to fly into the sky when it grows up, which will take at least a thousand years.
But! The little whale was only 508 years old when it flew in the air and saw the sky so close!
When I see my mother again, I must tell her about my heroic deeds along the way!
Yes, to it, the three-hundred-year-old laborer was portrayed as a heroic act of helping humanity...
The little whale was very perceptive. Seeing that everyone was tired and asleep, it initially exclaimed twice, but then quietly clung to the window, looking at the blue sky outside.
Getting up close is a different feeling from looking up at the ocean. It feels like you can almost touch it, right in front of you, and you can even reach out and touch the soft clouds.
About five hours later, just before landing, everyone woke up.
Ye Shang took the two little ones home. When they got back, they didn't see Zhu Caining, but they did see Shen Qian.
Meng Qiulan and Liang You parted ways after disembarking, as they were going to take a different route home first.
Not only do they need to retrieve the energy stones to pay off their debts, but they also need to bring back the valuable treasures they've collected.
These are all things that can be exchanged for cultivation resources.
Shen Qian had just finished packing up the supplies she had earned when she stepped forward with a smile: "I knew you would be back in the next couple of days, and I was right."
Although she could only roughly predict Ye Shang's fate and couldn't even see anything about it, she had something her master didn't: intuition.
A woman's sixth sense is more mysterious than any magic, yet it's surprisingly accurate most of the time.
Ye Shang nodded to her, then sat down on the sofa in the living room and took out his personal terminal to check: "Has anything strange happened at the base recently?"
Shen Qian hesitated for a moment, then said, "No."
Chen Zui also came in and sat on another single sofa, holding the little whale in her arms, and obediently called out, "Sister Chen Qian."
Little Whale also jumped to the ground. It had already decided to follow Chen Zui, so naturally it greeted people the same way, "Hello, Sister Chen Qian, my name is Little Whale."
It raised its chubby head and greeted Shen Qian with a serious expression.
Shen Qian squatted down and picked it up: "You're so cute! What kind of beast are you?"
To be honest, many people have seen mutated beasts talk by now. At first, when there were one or two, everyone would be surprised, but later they were almost indifferent. No one would pay attention to something that doesn't benefit them.
The little whale wiggled its chubby little bottom from side to side: "I'm not a strange beast, I'm a demon beast, and I'm 508 years old this year."
Shen Qian asked in surprise, "You're so big already?"
Little Whale looked as if she had been struck by lightning, and stared blankly for a moment: "Sister Chenqian, I am only five hundred years old, and I am not yet an adult."
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, then slapped her head: "Ah, sorry, look at my brain, I forgot that every living thing has different age stages."
That's true. Basically, every creature has a different stage of adulthood. Some are short-lived, while others are long-lived. It seems that this little monster belongs to the long-lived category.
The little whale smiled nonchalantly, shaking its chubby head: "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Ye Shang casually asked, "Where's Zhu Caining? Has she been back lately?"
Shen Qian shook her head: "No, it seems she's already at the First Base."
Ye Shang raised an eyebrow: "Didn't she say that the family atmosphere was unpleasant and she didn't want to live there?"
Shen Qian smiled mysteriously, "Didn't you check her WeChat Moments?"
Ye Shang was somewhat puzzled: "No."
She then turned on her personal computer, clicked on Zhu Caining's profile picture, and saw many photos. The most eye-catching one was the one at the very top, a picture of shadows with interlocking fingers, captioned, "A love that parents approve of."
Ye Shang smiled slightly, and almost instantly understood: "With her parents' approval, this must be her adopted younger brother, right?"
Living in the apocalypse seems to have fewer ties and constraints. Before the apocalypse, many people would definitely feel that this is inappropriate, and even parents would try to intervene.
But now, things are different. There are no laws to bind us, and in this apocalyptic world, people's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows if the person you meet will be a good person or a bad person?
Ideally, they should all be familiar relatives and friends, especially if the two people are not related by blood but still live under the same roof.
If you live together and have children, that creates a blood tie, making it easier for family members to trust each other.
Shen Qian was insightful and naturally knew this as well: "It can only be said that survival in the apocalypse is not easy, and one must also guard against all kinds of situations."
Ye Shang closed the interface: "That's right, this is indeed the choice of many ordinary people."
Sticking together for mutual support is a universal strategy, and Ye Shang is no exception.
Respect and blessings are based on the fact that they once knew each other. Most of the people who escaped together before have found their families and have made their own progress. She doesn't need to keep everyone at the Fifth Base.
Everyone has their own choices; it all depends on how wonderful the rest of life will be.
Shen Qian said, "During the time you were away, the base has developed rapidly. Some people even said they wanted to rebuild the residential area. Reconstruction has already begun in the southern district."
Because of this reconstruction, she did a lot of work, took on several jobs, and earned a lot of food, even piling up a lot in that small warehouse.
Ye Shang: "Yes, I saw this on the computer. Let's start from the South District and build the North District's ability users first."
The southern area is mainly where the base's management or researchers live.
The people with superpowers are in the North District, while the West District is full of ordinary people whose superpowers have not yet been awakened.
Even though the apocalypse has been going on for a long time, there are still people who cannot awaken their superpowers or mutate into zombies. They survive cautiously in the base by working hard.
Fortunately, the base is developing quite well, at least it provides them with jobs so they don't starve.
Scientists are also working hard to develop many edible materials, as well as medicines, etc.
