"You really know how to care for people. That's what I like about you."
Liu Yan understood Xiao Wuyu's intentions and didn't give him any more. Smiling, he put the fruit in his own mouth; the taste was absolutely amazing. Today, he had finally fulfilled a long-cherished dream.
Since the apocalypse, her standard of living has plummeted compared to before.
It wasn't until he arrived at the base and witnessed Jian Ning marrying Xiao Wuyu that his condition gradually improved.
If it weren't for this earthquake, the harsh environment outside would have served as a stark reminder. Sometimes, she almost doubted whether everything that had happened before was a dream.
Now, being able to teach children peacefully and happily every day, and joyfully attending classes with them, makes her feel extremely fortunate in this simple life.
After Jian Ning returned home, she released both families.
There are no more aftershocks outside now, so we can go back to normal life.
With the protection of the immortal abode, she should be able to live peacefully for a while. How come she never thought she had such a powerful weapon before?
If we had used it sooner, none of the earthquakes, tsunamis, or mutated monsters outside would have posed any threat to the people at the base.
From now on, children can walk on the road with peace of mind, without worrying about mutant rats or mutant ants suddenly jumping out.
This significantly improves security.
Sweetie can now play happily with her friends on the street again.
The base is now safer than it was before the apocalypse.
After all, there aren't even four-wheeled cars on the road yet; the current mode of transportation relies on walking. But things can gradually recover in the future.
Jian Ning suddenly felt full of confidence in the future. As long as she existed, this immortal abode would not disappear, and the people here could live here for a lifetime.
Now that things here aren't urgent, she needs to go to Miao territory as soon as possible to find the Nine-Turn Mystic Yin Grass for Minglan.
So when Xiao Lingfeng returned, she told him her plans.
"I'll go with you."
Although Xiao Lingfeng also had many things to do, he still chose to go out with Jian Ning without hesitation, because nothing was more important than his wife.
Even before the apocalypse, Miao territory was a mysterious place with poor transportation, rampant poisoning, and the Miao people's strong belief in witchcraft, leading to frequent armed conflicts.
Jian Ning was completely unfamiliar with the environment there, and even with all her skills, Xiao Lingfeng was still worried.
He had lived in the Miao region for a period of time during his mission back then. He was quite familiar with the language there, and at least simple communication wasn't a problem.
Therefore, he insisted on going along.
“Okay, you can go. It’ll be good for the two of you to keep each other company. Let’s leave the day after tomorrow. You can arrange everything here.”
Xiao Lingfeng nodded in agreement, then went downstairs to tell his mother about going out with Jian Ning again.
Although Aunt Wang didn't want them to keep running around outside, she didn't stop them, since her son and daughter-in-law were both capable.
She's living quite well here; we can't always keep them confined here. But I'm still quite worried.
"Lingfeng, there's been an earthquake and a tsunami outside, so you all have to be extra careful when you go out."
Mom knows you two aren't afraid of danger, but you should also think more about me and Tian Tian.
Your older brother and sister-in-law's fate is still unknown, and I reckon their chances of survival are slim.
"I'm not counting on those two anymore, you two are different. Now Mom is counting on you two, so please don't let anything happen to you!" As she spoke, Aunt Wang couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
"Mom, don't worry, Jian Ning and I will be back in ten days to two weeks."
"I'm just going out to find something; there's nothing dangerous for me. You and Tiantian should stay home and avoid getting sick. If anything happens, just go to my brother-in-law and he'll take care of it."
"Yes, Mom knows. Anping is a good child. He takes good care of us, the old and the young, when you're not home. Don't worry, everything will be fine here at home."
Xiao Lingfeng nodded, thinking to himself that he would hurry back after finishing his business with Jian Ning. These two people at home were truly on his mind, and he couldn't rest easy about them no matter where he was.
The next day, when I went to ask the team leader for leave, I also took on a mission.
Let him go out and see what's happening outside. It would be best to record it with a video camera. Also, try to help the surviving civilians and tell them the location of the base.
Saving one person is better than nothing. Xiao Lingfeng felt the chances of that were slim.
The journey from here to Miao territory is long and arduous. To get to this base from there, one must encounter countless dangers along the way. Putting that aside, the lack of water and food alone is enough to be fatal.
The only solution is to find the person and send them back by plane. But there's no point in thinking about that now; we can only deal with it as it comes.
They departed by helicopter as usual, and no one was alerted when they left.
In fact, with the immortal abode here, no matter how far Jian Ning goes, she can instantly teleport back.
So she didn't bring Huang Fugui with her, but instead let it stay at home with Tian Tian and the others, so they could come to her immediately if anything happened.
This can be considered an extra layer of protection.
The helicopter flew southwest, passing by an erupting volcano where red lava was continuously spewing out of the crater, creating a spectacular scene.
Thanks to Xiao Lingfeng's excellent flying skills, he pulled the helicopter to its highest point; otherwise, it would have been very likely that the ejected volcanic ash would have blocked its path.
This earthquake appears to be nationwide, extending almost as far as Miao territory.
Along the way, I saw that none of the cities were intact; most of the houses had collapsed in the earthquake, and only a few had survived unscathed.
Moreover, this tectonic movement was particularly intense. Along its path, countless flatlands were transformed into bottomless pits. High mountains turned into lakes; these were things that human beings could not resist.
"Looking at the map, we still have a little over half the journey left. We're not in a hurry. Why don't you stop over there and we can grab something to eat together?"
Even a robot would get tired from flying a plane continuously.
Jian Ning felt sorry for Xiao Lingfeng, so she told him to land first, and then pulled him into the jade pendant space.
There's nothing we can do about it; there's just too much volcanic ash outside. If we eat out, we really have to worry about whether our bodies will be contaminated.
"We're having Sichuan food today, it's all spicy, just to perk you up."
Looking at the table full of bright red chili peppers, Xiao Lingfeng couldn't stop smiling. These were all his favorite dishes; his wife really knew his preferences.
