Yu Anyan opened the lunchbox, which contained only one dish: stir-fried zucchini with ham sausage. The portion was generous, and the taste was good. She ate most of it and was full. She put the remaining half aside, intending to feed it to the dog later.

"Let me give you a name, how about you call yourself Ham?" Yu Anyan took out a dagger from her spatial storage and prepared to shave the dog's fur. It had several wounds on its body, some of which had already healed, while others were still bleeding. It would be easier to treat them without fur.

"Let's call it Ham, that's decided."

The wound was cleaned, treated with some kind of topical wound medicine, wrapped with a layer of clean gauze, and placed on a clean piece of clothing.

"Ham, we have limited resources, this is all we can do. You have to be strong." Yu Anyan was a little unsure of herself; the wound on its belly was quite deep.

The ham, now only with its head and fur remaining, stuck out its tongue and licked her finger.

"Good girl." Yu Anyan felt relieved. In this post-apocalyptic environment, you have to sleep with one eye open. Having a dog companion makes things much easier.

After saying that, she locked the door to the small bedroom, took out the crystal core from her spatial storage, and studied how to absorb it, but she couldn't figure it out until she used her supernatural water droplets to soak the crystal core in water.

"Huh, the water seems to have become murky? The crystal core, can it be absorbed now?" Yu Anyan watched as the crystal core turned into powder, mixing into her supernatural water droplets.

She took out another crystal core. This time, she put her supernatural water droplet into a bottle cap, then put the crystal core in. She watched as the water became murky. She used tweezers to pick out the crystal core and saw that it had become clearer. So her supernatural water could purify the crystal core.

But the original owner had seen others absorb crystal cores, just holding them in their hands and absorbing them directly. That doesn't seem right either. The one absorbing them was a fire-type ability user, and he seemed to have released fire to burn the crystal core first? In the life where the original owner left with Zhang Qiang and the others, she said she had a spatial ability, a spatial ability with no combat power. Although she was protected, she was also monitored. When the official news about crystal cores was announced, she was already suspected in the team. She didn't get the specific method of using the crystal cores, nor did she ever get any crystal cores.

Well, the authorities have plenty of talent; they'll figure out the situation eventually. Since she's in Shen Jinyao's team, she should get the news earlier than it's broadcast.

Just as she was about to put the crystal core in the bottle cap into her spatial storage, Ham started whimpering anxiously.

"Uh-huh."

"What's wrong?"

Ham kept its eyes fixed on the bottle cap and continued humming, "Mmm-hmm."

"You want this?" Yu Anyan picked up the bottle cap, and Ham's eyes followed the direction of the bottle cap.

"Ham, sweetie, I can't give it to you now. You're too badly injured to handle this. If the impurities inside affect you, it'll be troublesome. Let's wait for the official results. If all else fails, we'll have to wait until you're fully recovered." Yu Anyan knew she had been reckless when she noticed the water droplet was murky, but in the next instant, the crystal core was absorbed and turned into powder.

As the crystal core disappeared from Yu Anyan's hand, Ham obediently placed its head on its clothes and closed its eyes to rest.

"Good boy, Ham, wake me up if you feel unwell tonight," Yu Anyan said, patting its head.

The next morning, after a simple meal, the team prepared to set off, and Qin Lang came over to discuss things with Yu Anyan.

"Miss Yu, the official team has its considerations. One person per vehicle is fine, but it's more troublesome to refuel." Most people are sitting in the army's large trucks. The private cars in the team are for various reasons, such as having superhumans, having brought their own fuel, or having provided supplies.

Yu Anyan nodded; a single person on a bicycle was indeed a bit conspicuous. "What kind of people are you planning to assign? Will the government provide refueling?"

Qin Lang lowered his voice: "The government will provide fuel for these vehicles. We've reorganized the convoy; each car has four people, and each truck has two. Your vehicle is in good condition, so we're prepared to keep it."

"Okay, it's good that someone can take over driving for me." Yu Anyan agreed immediately. Since she had decided to team up with others and follow the official team, these actions of conforming to the group were inevitable.

"Don't worry, they're still our own people. Qin Yu, Shen Shi'an, and I are coming."

Yu Anyan went to the back seat, put the box under the seat into the trunk, and then got into the back seat and sat down.

A short while later, Qin Yu, carrying a backpack, also came up to the back row, while Shen Shi'an and Qin Lang were in the front row.

"Miss Yu."

"That sounds too formal. How about you call me An Yan?" Yu An Yan suggested first.

"Okay, but An Yan, how old are you?" Qin Yu nodded with a smile.

"I was 19 years old, the day the apocalypse began." Yu An'an's tone was somewhat low. The original owner of this body lost her parents on her birthday.

"I always thought you were a bit older than me. I'm 21." Qin Yu was surprised. Yu Anyan had a baby face, but her overall temperament and aura made people think she was older.

"Sister Qin Yu."

"Sigh, just looking at your face, I feel like I could be this older sister, but looking at your aura, I'm a little hesitant to agree."

Yu Anyan pulled Ham's little head out of her coat and said with a smile, "What's the big deal? Just call me 'sister,' and you'll answer. I have no choice. The world has changed drastically, my parents left, and I have to survive on my own. If I don't stand up for myself, people will bully me."

When Qin Yu saw her poke the dog's head out of her clothes, she suddenly felt that she wasn't so different anymore.

"Oh my, this puppy looks so energetic! Have you named it yet? My mom says that if you give your pet a name, it will feel a sense of belonging and know that it's a member of the family."

"Yes, call it ham."

Why is it called that?

A trace of melancholy welled up in Yu Anyan's lowered eyes, because the kind-hearted person who died tragically had a French Bulldog named Ham.

"Oh, because I traded it for a sausage."

"Haha, that's quite fitting." Qin Yu reached out to touch it.

Ham nimbly pulled his head back, refusing her touch.

Following the main force went relatively smoothly, and half a month later, they saw the outer wall of the Beijing base.

Shen Shi'an went to the front to find out what was going on, and when he came back, he was holding a rule sheet: "Everyone, take a look, but be careful, this needs to be reused, and I'll have to return it later."

Yu Anyan, holding a ham whose wound had completely healed, went over to Qin Yu and looked at the city entry rules together. The general idea was that people with superpowers could bring one family member into the city for free. If they joined the official superpower team, they could also be assigned a dormitory. Ordinary people entering the city had to pay the equivalent of ten kilograms of rice in supplies, but they could not pay it in advance and could pay it off within six months after finding a job at the base.

The survivors who came with them were full of complaints. They had come all the way to the capital base with great difficulty, and they were already in debt before they even entered. However, the entrance to the base was guarded by heavily armed guards. You could choose not to go in, but causing trouble was absolutely out of the question.
