Yang Jinxia replied listlessly, "It's not bad. I have work every day and plenty of food and drink. The main thing is that Captain Ye is here, so no one dares to bully me and Le Cheng."
Jiang Lecheng asked from the side, "Ningning, I heard before that you and your half-brother are together. When are you planning to get married?"
Judging by age, Zhu Caining is the same age as them. It's the sixth year of the apocalypse, and she's only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. But nowadays, getting married is just a simple meal for everyone to celebrate and get a simple confirmation.
It won't be too complicated. Although they are both past the legal marriage age before the apocalypse, who cares about that now? There won't be anyone pressuring them to get married. It's all up to them to decide for themselves.
Zhu Caining thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either, let nature take its course."
Zhu Caining's biggest dilemma is that her mother was killed by her father after she mutated into a zombie. She always feels that if she marries Lin Ze, she will feel indebted to her mother.
Moreover, Lin's mother and father get along very well now. They live together every day, and Lin's mother takes care of everyone's feelings. At first, she disliked Lin's mother very much. Every time Zhu's father asked her to come back, Lin's mother would take the initiative to avoid suspicion. Later, after learning that Lin Ze liked Zhu Caining.
They treated her even better, which made Zhu Caining conflicted.
If Jiang Lecheng knew her mindset, she would probably be speechless; it's a bit like trying to build a virtuous reputation on someone else's behalf.
However, Jiang Lecheng wouldn't say much. She was kind, but she was also reasonable and knew how to make choices, which was why she had always been able to work smoothly in the team of superhumans.
All they knew was that Lin Ze had saved Zhu Caining several times when they went out on missions, and Zhu Caining had gradually developed feelings for him during their time together.
As for what happened after that, I'm not too sure. But you can tell by the fact that she almost always lives at the First Base now.
The three of them would chat from time to time. Relationships are built through spending time together; if they don't spend a lot of time together, they won't have much to talk about.
At night, after everyone had left, Chen Zui carried the little whale back to the room that Song Wenwen had arranged for him, where he slept with Zhang Yiyang and Xie Qingyuan.
Zhang Yiyang lay on the bed, his hands behind his neck, looking at the dark ceiling: "Xiao Zui, are you happy now?"
The scene of Grandpa Chen dying in front of me is still vivid in my mind. Back then, Chen was forced to develop his second superpower.
Chen Zui also slept in a similar position. He is still going through puberty, so his voice is a little different: "Brother Yiyang, we are all growing up, but I grew up by my sister's side. She usually teaches me. If my sister doesn't have time, my brother-in-law Qingli will take over and take me with him to teach me. I have learned so much."
Moreover, the Fifth Base was the first to have a school, and he was among the first to attend. The instructors were almost all superhumans who had undergone re-evaluation, and they already possessed considerable knowledge before the apocalypse.
In particular, teachers at the research institute often take on a part-time teaching job at the university when they have time.
Even Qingli taught two classes a week at the school; he had completed his university studies before the apocalypse.
Xie Qingyuan lay on the other side with his eyes closed: "Xiao Zui has grown up a lot now."
Chen chuckled softly: "Everyone grows up."
The little whale was fast asleep on the table nearby, its chubby little belly bulging, clearly indicating that it had adapted well to human sleep patterns.
The next day.
Ye Shang led the prepared team of superhumans out of the base.
Because we left the base in the afternoon, everyone was well prepared, and Song Wenwen also arrived in time to join us.
Early in the morning, the Xie and Zhang families returned to the First Base. Xie Qingyuan asked if he could come along this time.
Song Wenwen reported him to the authorities and then had him work in logistics with Han Yi.
The newly engaged couple sat on the transport vehicle, prompting Song Wenwen's usual comrades to tease them from time to time.
Song Wenwen put her long, wavy hair up in a bun, wore a hat, and leaned on Xie Qingye's shoulder, completely ignoring her teammates' teasing.
Ye Shang sat on the roof of another car, steadily observing her surroundings.
This time, Qingli didn't come out; he stayed at the base, as there were still many things waiting for him.
Ye Shang looked into the distance, then flipped over and jumped into the passenger seat: "About how much longer?"
The driver, Han Yi, estimated the distance: "About half an hour more."
There weren't many people this time; there were only two cars, and neither was full—less than thirty people in total.
Ye Shang's original plan was to just bring a few people out, but Han Yi later explained that according to the survey, there might be an underground cemetery there.
I heard the area is quite large, which is why I brought a few more people to explore it, so that we can report back promptly if anything happens.
That's how the number of people grew from just a few to more than twenty, including people who specialize in cemetery surveys. These people are said to be professionals.
Ye Shang took out the map of H City and looked at it for a while. There were many connecting points in this place. If there were cemeteries, it was probably because some powerful person in ancient times had a lot of burial goods. Otherwise, Han Yi would not have arranged for so many people to come along, including five spatial ability users.
Although antiques may not be of much use now, who knows what the future holds? If the world calms down and things become more stable, people's aspirations will naturally increase.
Although it may seem like a long time, humanity will always hold onto hope and continue to survive.
Ye Shang naturally thought of this reason as well, especially since she was at the forefront and knew everything.
When they finally arrived at the outskirts of H City, everyone got out of the car and looked at the scene not far away.
The road has been destroyed, and in the middle is a vast river. The broken bridge is gone. No wonder people who came here would turn back or take a detour to the other side to cross to the other side.
However, the opposite side was also covered with layers of barbed wire, and there were even zombies standing guard or wandering around.
Ye Shang recalled that when she passed by here before, it wasn't like this, and the bridge was still there. "How did it become like this in the last two years?"
Han Yi frowned. "Team Leader Ye, the bridge was still there when we passed the Third Base before."
It's impossible to tell how it was destroyed now; it doesn't seem like it was destroyed by explosives. Explosives are basically banned in the world now, and all the weapons that were stockpiled at the bases are slowly oxidizing and becoming unusable.
Since they can't use it, it can only mean that the creatures outside can't use it either.
Ye Shang flew directly to the broken section and examined it, saying, "It was cut open."
Han Yi frowned, his brows furrowing into a deep frown: "What could directly sever a bridge?"
