While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Xiao Helin arrived quite some time before Fu Xing and the others knocked on the door.

"Boss, open the door, we're here."

Liang Xiao sent a message saying that Luo Ning went out to open the door for them.

"Wow, the soundproofing in your house is amazing! We've been calling out for ages."

Fu Xing and his group stood at the entrance to the staircase.

The front door of Luo Ning's house was replaced with the best one, so soundproofing was naturally excellent.

"Why did it take you so long?"

Luo Ning was puzzled; three hours had passed since they sent the message.

"It's all his fault."

Bai Yu glared at Ji Zhoubai, then stepped forward and hugged Luo Ning's arm, her eyes filled with infatuation.

"Hey, you look so beautiful today."

Cheng grabbed her by the neck and pulled her away, saying, "You know she's pretty, yet you're still standing so close. Don't ruin her look."

"Happy birthday!" Cheng Rang handed the gift box to Luo Ning.

Luo Ning smiled and accepted it, "Please come in."

The others followed them inside, all offering their congratulations to Luo Ning.

Ji Zhoubai walked up to Luo Ning and said apologetically.

"I'm so sorry, it's all because of me that I'm so late."

It turned out that Fu Xing and the others had been on their way for quite some time, only realizing halfway there that Ji Zhoubai hadn't gotten on the bus.

I contacted him and found out that he had surgery too late last night and overslept this morning, so I had to go back to pick him up, which is why I arrived so late.

"It's okay, I understand."

Luo Ning didn't care about these small details at all.

Today is a good day; whether it's early or late, it won't affect my mood.

Seeing that Luo Ning didn't seem to mind, Ji Zhoubai gave her a thumbs up.

"I knew you weren't stingy."

Xiao Jie decorated the room beautifully today, even though Luo Ning said there weren't many people there.

Flowers, balloons, cake, and red wine.

Fortunately, Luo Ning's living room was spacious enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been enough for him to do his thing.

Xiao Helin looked at the group of people who came in. He recognized Fu Xing and his five companions; they were the top small team from the official base.

He also knew the man in the white shirt.

A genius water-type ability user from an official base, and the vice president of a military hospital.

He didn't know the girl, but since she was so close to these people, her identity must be extraordinary.

His Helin base was established not long ago, and he wanted to buy many advanced weapons from the government, but he couldn't find an opportunity to do so.

He glanced at Ji Zhoubai, then at Fu Xing. This man was no ordinary team captain; he was also the only grandson of the official base's deputy commander.

"Boss, your home looks really nice decorated like this." Liang Xiao grinned foolishly.

Although Luo Ning complained about the trouble, she was very happy to see Xiao Jie's meticulous preparations for her birthday.

"I think it looks good too; Xiao Jie did it for me."

Luo Ning raised his chin and spoke proudly.

Fu Xing and the others laughed along; she now truly looked like a twenty-year-old girl.

Although he was very capable and gave people a sense of security before, he always seemed lonely.

"Big sister, would you like to take a picture? I studied photography before the apocalypse, so I'm sure I can take a really good one for you," Shen Yi said.

Luo Ning's eyes lit up. No girl dislikes taking beautiful photos, especially on such a special day.

She dressed so nicely because she wanted to take some photos of herself to remember the occasion.

"Okay, I have a camera."

Luo Ning rushed into the room, actually to take it from space 123.

When she swept through Ningcheng, she brought back several camera shops that hadn't yet been flooded.

A moment later, Luo Ning came out carrying several cameras.

She didn't know anything about cameras, so all she could do now was bring them out for Shen Yi to choose from.

Xiao Jie saw the camera in her arms and quickly went over to take it from her.

Shen Yi stared wide-eyed at the cameras: Sony A7M4, Canon R6ii, Nikon Z6ii, and Canon R5—all cameras that cost tens of thousands of yuan before the apocalypse.

Now she just casually holds him in her arms, without any protection whatsoever.

But then I thought, it's the apocalypse now, who's in the mood to take pictures?

These cameras are considered good if they can be exchanged for ten kilograms of rice at the base.

He chose a Canon R5. He had the same one before the apocalypse, but it was probably buried in the ruins now.

Shen Yi got the camera and prepared to take pictures of Luo Ning.

Liang Xiao led the group of people jumping around, and Bai Yu joined in the commotion. When Cheng Rang saw Bai Yu running after them, he followed suit.

The whole room suddenly became lively.

Xiao Jie stood to the side, and seeing Luo Ning happy, he smiled too.

Only Fu Xing and a few others stood there somewhat awkwardly. Perhaps they were too old, because they didn't understand what the others were so happy about.

As soon as Ji Zhoubai arrived, the first thing he did was look for something to eat. He went to the kitchen and, sure enough, saw a lot of delicious food.

He was about to take action after telling Xiao Jie, but Xiao Jie stopped him.

"What are you doing? I'm all here, aren't you going to give me something to eat?"

Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment; the main course hadn't even started yet.

He had carefully prepared all the dishes here for her birthday, worried that they might be ruined if people wanted to take pictures later.

"There are leftover plates over there. If you don't mind, you can eat some first."

Xiao Jie knew that these big men had big appetites, so he made extra food in case there wasn't enough to eat.

Ji Zhoubai skipped lunch yesterday in preparation for this meal.

Now, as long as there's food, who cares about leftovers?

Even the leftovers from food in Luoning are better than what you get outside when there's no food available.

Xiao Helin and Fu Xing sat together and whispered something.

Zhou Jibai walked to the stairwell, where there was a small balcony.

Luo Ning cleared away the clothes that had been piled up there and transformed it into a small training area. Various weapons were also placed on the shelves under the stairs.

Zhou Jibai gestured with the weapons, all of which were rare to see before the apocalypse.

But he didn't understand why she would prepare such cold weapons when her superpowers were already so strong.

There were some guns, but various swords and knives were the most numerous.

He also saw chainsaws, fire axes, and even steel pipes.

But as soon as he got his hands on the weapon, he could tell it was different.

These are modified and enhanced; each one is like a custom-made piece.

Luo Ning and Shen Yi were taking pictures on the terrace; there were so many beautiful spots on her terrace.

But when Cheng led the group into the flowerbed, they instantly felt there weren't many.

But they didn't say anything. Since the big boss wasn't deliberately avoiding them, it meant he trusted them.

Then they should just pretend they don't know.

Shen Yi pulled Luo Ning along and took thousands of photos.

Luo Ning looked at the photos Shen Yi had taken. Shen Yi said that she was being too modest by saying that she had studied photography; she didn't really know much about taking pictures.

But she wasn't satisfied with any of the photos Shen Yi took.

Then I pulled along 1, 2, and 3 more people and took hundreds more photos.

Bai Yu saw this and insisted on taking a picture with Luo Ning, followed by Liang Xiao, Shen Yi, and Cheng Rang. Everyone took several photos with Luo Ning.
