You can tell at a glance that she grew up surrounded by love.

I heard that she lived a very happy life when her parents were alive.

Unfortunately, she ended up all alone.

Xiao Jie thought of the rumors he had heard at school and what he had seen.

After her parents passed away, her so-called fiancé treated her very badly.

Thinking of his fiancé, Xiao Jie was filled with remorse; he should have been braver back then.

Even if I can't replace her fiancé, at least I can be her friend, so I can be there for her when she's sad.

Luo Ning got up and stretched. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, but the sky was still no different from daytime.

The extreme heat is accompanied by the midnight sun; in a while, there will be no more nights.

123 got up on his own and quickly ran to Luo Ning's side.

"Host, there were people watching us outside just now. Are they trying to rob our house? I said I was going to go out and bite them to death, but the male lead wouldn't let me."

Luo Ning paused in his yawning. "Is someone watching us outside?"

Xiao Jie took two steps forward. "Hmm, an armored vehicle, just like the one that followed us near the base last time. There were four men in the car. They watched for a while downstairs across the street and then left."

"Did you figure out what their intention was?"

Luo Ning became alert; she knew how attractive her terrace was.

But as long as it's not a large-scale base like the official one, with hundreds or thousands of superhumans coming to besiege her, she doesn't need to worry too much.

She's not afraid of ordinary private bases either, because besides herself, she also has the cheat code 123.

"No, they just looked around with the drone for a while and then left." Xiao Jie shook his head. "But it's definitely not an official base." The four men's attitude was too casual.

Luo Ning nodded. "None of you should go out recently. If you do go out, you must tell me."

Xiao Jie and the three of them had to go out for training every day, but until they figured out the purpose and background of those people, it was safer for them to stay with her.

"it is good."

Xiao Jie had no objection. He was not as strong as her, and if he were caught outside, it would cause her trouble.

123 was a little unwilling. It wanted to go out and play, but under Luo Ning's intimidating gaze, it pouted and remained silent.

Luo Ning checked the X-ray vision function but found nothing unusual.

Although she was vigilant, she wasn't very worried.

In the post-apocalyptic world, people with superpowers are extremely valuable, whether they are in private or official bases.

As I said before, as long as it's not an attack by thousands of superhumans with a do-or-die mentality, she doesn't need to worry too much.

Besides, she also has the 123 Apocalypse System.

Luo Ning's complexion returned to normal; she was here to enjoy life and retire.

As long as others don't provoke her, she doesn't have much free time to care about them.

Because of the hot weather, Luo Ning's appetite has decreased significantly compared to the previous period.

Xiao Jie was worried whether she ate a lot or a little.

In this kind of weather, she can't eat much for a proper meal; most of the time she eats fruit and cold drinks.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Xiao Jie asked.

Luo Ning glanced at the terrace; she didn't want to eat dinner, she just wanted fruit.

Xiao Jie suggested, "The pickled radishes I soaked a while ago are ready. How about I make you a pickled radish and old duck soup? It'll whet your appetite."

Luo Ning's mouth instantly watered at the thought of the taste of pickled radishes.

"Okay, skim off the oil. I don't want to drink anything too oily."

As long as she was willing to eat properly, Xiao Jie was willing to satisfy her in any way. "Okay, you can play here for a while, it will be over soon."

"Male lead, 123 wants to eat mutton, 124 wants to gnaw on bones, and 125 wants to eat fish." Upon hearing Xiao Jie's words, 123 immediately recited the names of the dishes, otherwise he would only make the host's favorite dishes later.

Xiao Jie nodded good-naturedly, "Okay."

Luo Ning walked to the edge of the terrace and looked at the barren world outside. Compared to his lush terrace, it was truly a world of difference.

Xiao Jie's meal wasn't ready yet, and Luo Ning was already planning the layout of the terrace.

The terrace, spanning over 200 square meters, is mostly planted with wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, while the remaining corners are used for growing vegetables and fruits.

Xiao Jie had found two vegetable boxes a couple of days ago that she hadn't planted yet. Most of the vegetables she planted before the apocalypse had been harvested, and apart from the tomatoes and three or four kinds of leafy greens she had planted at the beginning, there weren't many vegetables on her terrace now.

There are no four seasons now; the next four or five months will be characterized by high temperatures and extreme daylight.

Luo Ning's terrace won't get too hot, and she has plenty of water, so she can plant whatever she wants anytime.

There was still some empty space by the fishpond, and Luo Ning planned to plant some fruit trees. With the continuous high temperatures, she didn't want her fish to die from the sun, so she planted some fruit trees to provide shade.

With nothing else to do, Luo Ning, having rested well, prepared to start planting trees again.

But the group of people who had been playing wildly just now didn't have that much energy, and they all lay down on the outdoor sofas in the rest area.

Luo Ning was about to call them together, but seeing their reaction, she gave up.

She did it herself, using her spatial abilities to dig a hole, placing the fruit tree in the hole with vines hanging from it, then filling it with soil from her space, burying a wood-type crystal core, and watering it with water drawn from the fishpond. That's how a fruit tree was planted.

Before long, she planted a cherry tree, a sweet cherry tree, and a bayberry tree, and then replanted two different varieties of grapes in the spot where she had previously planted grapes.

She also planned to pot some pineapples, dragon fruit, and sugarcane in the remaining corners and edges.

However, that requires mixing soil, so Xiao Jie can do it when he has time; she's too lazy to do it herself.

Once all that's done, she'll have planted almost all the fruit trees on her terrace. If she wants to plant more, she'll have to make sure the terrace gets bigger.

The locations for planting grains have been planned and planted; all that's left are vegetables.

However, all of this could be left to Xiao Jie; Luo Ning was too lazy to do anything.

When Xiao Jie came up, he saw that there were some more fruit trees next to the fish pond, and he knew that she had planted them.

"Why did you plant them yourself? Didn't you say you'd leave it to me?" Xiao Jie said with some concern when he saw the sweat on her forehead.

Luo Ning waved his hand, "It's nothing, I didn't exert myself much, it's just that it's a bit stuffy."

She was telling the truth; she didn't put in much effort to plant these fruit trees, she used her supernatural abilities.

Even though it had gotten dark, it was still very hot and humid, and you would be covered in sweat if you moved around too much.

"If you're not feeling well, just sit and play. I'll take care of it later."

Xiao Jie still felt sorry for her. He was by her side, yet she still suffered so much. What was the point of keeping her around?

Luo Ning looked at the increasingly strong muscles on his arms. The young man who used to be thin and muscular had almost turned into a strong and rugged man after living with her for a few months.

He's become much stronger than before, all from doing manual labor.

If it weren't for the fact that his face hadn't changed, Luo Ning would have suspected that he was going to change his persona.
