Xiaoqi: Qiqi, I can tell you're about to fall into a deep sleep. You'd better hurry and enter the bracelet space.
Yunqi: Okay, I understand.
Yunqi, fighting off her sleepiness, lunged at Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo was tackled to the ground by Yun Qi and was clearly taken aback: "What's wrong with Qi Qi?"
Yun Qi opened her mouth and quietly looked at Xiao Mo... Her eyelids kept drooping, and she couldn't hold on any longer, so she entered the bracelet space.
The weight pressing down on him vanished instantly, leaving Xiao Mo momentarily flustered.
Remembering what Yunqi had told him before… Xiao Mo stroked the bracelet, sensing that Yunqi was sleeping in the space. (Luckily, they had built a small house together in the space before, and Yunqi was sleeping on the bed inside, otherwise they would have had to sleep in the open.)
Because Xiao Mo was worried about her safety, even though he knew the space could hold living creatures, he didn't put any living creatures in it.
With Yunqi asleep, Xiao Mo was completely alone...
Every day, I would check on Yunqi in the space from time to time to see if she had woken up. Seeing that she was still sleeping peacefully, I kept comforting myself: at least she's alright... at least she's still alive...
Every day I wake up and start experimenting; if I get really hungry, I eat something and continue experimenting...
Xiao Mo halted his research on the zombie virus and focused on researching zombie upgrades...
He hunted zombies to obtain crystal cores to improve himself, while also capturing high-level zombies.
He had been raising those zombie lab technicians, feeding them zombie cores, and unexpectedly, they actually leveled up... They're now level 4 zombies, and one of them has even reached level 5...
He hoped that one day the zombie experimenter would regain consciousness and become a "new human" to help him awaken Yunqi.
Twenty years into the apocalypse, Xiao Mo is already an 8th-level ability user, with his metal-type ability at level 8 and his mental ability at level 8, nearing its maximum level of 9...
Most people are still at level 3 or 4, the more capable are at level 5 or 6, and the male protagonist is even more advanced, already at level 7. The higher the level, the harder it is to advance…
Yunqi's body was still asleep in the bracelet space, but her soul was communicating with Xiaoqi. Fortunately, Xiaoqi was there to tell her what had happened over the years, otherwise she would have been bored to death.
Yunqi: Xiaoqi, Xiaomo'er is amazing! Her superpower is already level 8, even stronger than the male lead!!
Xiaoqi:...(ー_ー)!!
Yunqi: Xiaoqi, when will I wake up...? If Xiaomo'er hadn't confirmed that I was still alive, I think he would have gone mad!!
Xiaoqi:......(ー_ー)
Yunqi: Xiaoqi~ My dear Xiaoqi~ Could you check me again and tell me when I'll wake up?
Xiaoqi: ...I've checked so many times, and I've told you so many times!! I probably have five more years before I wake up!! If you keep acting like this, I'm not talking to you anymore!
Yunqi: Isn't there any other way to wake up sooner?!
Xiao Qi: What did I tell you back then?! I told you to cultivate diligently, and what did you do?! If you had reached the Core Formation stage earlier, you wouldn't have had to be in a deep sleep!!
Yunqi: Okay, Xiaoqi~ I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please help me!
Xiao Qi: ...Go back to your body and cultivate the "Heaven and Earth Technique". The spiritual energy in the space is high, and you will be able to wake up when you reach the Core Formation stage!
Yunqi: Why didn't you say so sooner?! I'm going to cultivate right now!!
Xiaoqi: !!! …… (Why didn't I say so sooner?! And they're blaming me for not saying so sooner?! I want to swear!!!)
Xiao Mo looked at the beautiful box in his space where Yun Qi had put the crystal cores. Now he had filled it with many high-grade crystal cores. He wondered if Yun Qi would wake up one day and see the box full of crystal cores, and then happily give him a kiss!
On the other side, the Dawn Base, established by the male and female protagonists twenty-three years after the apocalypse, has become the most populous base, and the two manage it very well.
The female protagonist did indeed have a new opportunity and obtained another spatial bracelet, but it was slightly inferior to the one Yunqi had. The spiritual spring water was only the size of the kitchen sink (which meant that the spiritual spring water had to be used sparingly, for fear of running out), and the space was also much smaller than Yunqi's, but it was still enough.
Tang Ziming and Wang Siyu also followed the male and female protagonists to help build the base. The base had a strict system, and Dawn Base became the most desirable base for people.
Ever since learning that cultivation could help her awaken sooner, Yun Qi had been relentlessly cultivating the "Heaven and Earth Technique." As her cultivation continued, Yun Qi felt her body was nearing its awakening...
Xiaoqi: Oh no!! Oh no!!
Yunqi was startled awake from her cultivation: What's wrong? What's wrong?
Xiao Qi: Xiao Mo believes you fell into a deep sleep because you drank his blood, so he's now feeding the zombies with his own blood... trying to find a way to wake you up!
Yunqi: !!!
Xiaoqi: No one could stand bleeding like that every day! And on top of that, we're doing such intense experiments every day!!
Yunqi: !!! I need to start cultivating right away! Wake up quickly!
Xiao Qi: Yes! If you don't wake up soon, Xiao Mo will bleed to death!
Yunqi: !! ...Can't you wish for something good for Xiaomo'er?! Stop jinxing me!
Xiaoqi: Hmph! What a heartless guy who only cares about the opposite sex!
Yunqi: ...What do you mean "you lose your humanity when there's a member of the opposite sex"? Where did you learn that from?!
Xiao Qi: ...You still have time to argue with me? Xiao Mo is still waiting for you to wake up.
Yunqi: ...You just wait!
Yunqi threw herself into cultivation once more! This time, Yunqi truly gave it her all!!!
Ever since Xiao Mo fed the zombie lab technician a small amount of blood, the zombie technician actually leveled up from level 4 to level 5, and the level 5 zombie technician even leveled up to level 6, and there was even a tendency for it to regain consciousness!
Xiao Mo was extremely excited and donated a lot of blood for research... He also visibly lost weight...
