Time flies like an arrow, and the end of the year is fast approaching.
During this period, the fifth base has been undergoing rapid improvements, with a growing number of personnel and increasingly more humane management practices.
Ye Shang had been in seclusion for more than half a year, during which time Zhu Caining and the others had become increasingly composed.
Yang Jinxia and Jiang Lecheng also found their families one after another. They left the building to reunite with their families. They applied for a house in the Fifth Base and are now living together.
Zhu Caining also met her father during a mission. Her father was also very capable and was now at the Second Base. He asked her to go back with him, but she refused, saying that she would go back during the Chinese New Year.
She wanted to wait for Ye Shang to come out so he could tell her something before leaving.
Zhang Yiyang and Xie Qingyuan also found their families, all of whom were at the First Base. They went there to see them and found that they were all doing well and had awakened their superpowers, so they returned to the Fifth Base with peace of mind.
The three of them shared the same idea as Zhu Caining: they should at least wait until Ye Shang came out, say hello, and then leave.
So recently, they've all been busy taking on missions or helping with base patrols, etc.
Two new bases have been established outside during this period, but they are no longer in City A. Instead, they have been extended outwards and expanded. With more and more people, it is impossible to accommodate them all with just these few bases. Therefore, experienced people from the previous bases have been sent out to establish new bases.
Many of the management personnel from the Fifth Base went to the Sixth Base. The two bases are not far apart and help each other.
After half a year of seclusion, Ye Shang slowly opened his eyes, and the black mist in his eyes gradually dissipated.
She checked her cultivation level; it was still at the Foundation Establishment stage, but it had increased slightly, almost reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
After Ye Shang finished tidying up, he went downstairs and found that no one was there except Zhu Caining, who was sitting on the sofa playing with her personal computer.
"Where are the others?" Ye Shang asked.
Zhao Xin and her siblings were also not there.
Zhu Caining then turned to Ye Shang and asked, "Boss, have you finished your seclusion?"
They had stayed in the room the whole time and hadn't come out. If they hadn't known she had a spatial ability and plenty of food, they would have gone in to call for help long ago.
Ye Shang poured himself a glass of water. "Mmm."
Zhu Caining stood up and said with a smile, "They've all gone out on missions. It's almost the end of the year now, and there are only a few days left until the New Year. During this time, even Zhao Xin and her two children have awakened their superpowers. They're quite lucky."
Ye Shang finished his glass of water and paused. "Half a year?" She's been in seclusion for that long? It seems that cultivation truly knows no time. I should probably avoid going into seclusion so easily in the future. What if I come out one day and the world has been destroyed?
Zhu Caining nodded heavily twice. "Yes, we've all found our families. Boss, take good care of yourself when I get back."
Ye Shang walked to the sofa and sat down. "Um, where are your family members?"
Zhu Caining sat on the opposite sofa and counted on her fingers, saying, "Xiaxia and Chengzi are at the Fifth Base, while Zhang Yiyang and Brother Xie are at the First Base. They haven't left yet; they said they'd let you know when you come out."
“Zhao Xin and her brother were taken back by their father and live next door. However, because there are three superhumans in the family, they applied for a larger suite for them to stay in.” Zhu Caining continued, “Grandpa Chen and Chen Zui will stay here. It’s just that after there are not so many people living in this house, it is a bit wasteful to have to pay for the supplies of such a large suite.”
Ye Shang listened silently. "It's nothing. I don't lack supplies. But now that you've found your parents, when will you leave?"
Zhu Caining pursed her lips. Actually, she didn't really want to leave, but she didn't know what it would be like to go back to her parents. She had a younger brother, and the thought of how he always tried to take things from her before the apocalypse gave her a headache.
