"Host, 123 is so hungry and sleepy. We really know we were wrong. Please forgive us, okay?"

123 tugged at Luo Ning's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

Luo Ning raised his voice at the end, "Alright, I'll forgive you this time since you've admitted your mistakes quite well. But if there's a next time, I won't let you off so easily."

"Yes, yes, yes, it won't happen again." 123 went through the whole process of admitting his mistakes, apologizing, and promising without hesitation.

Upon hearing Luo Ning's words, Xiao Jie brought out the food he had prepared in advance and placed it in front of the two little brats.

123, however, was ungrateful and grabbed Luo Ning's hand to complain.

"Host, you have no idea how outrageous the male lead is. He makes us watch TV all the time, doesn't let us rest, doesn't let us eat, and even makes delicious food in between, but only lets us smell it, not eat it or watch it."

Luo Ning stretched. "It was my order, and didn't you all agree to watch TV without eating or sleeping?"

123 lowered his head and stopped talking.

124 has started eating; it will sleep after it's full.

Upon seeing this, 123 immediately started fighting with 124 for it, even though there was clearly a lot of food on the table.

But the two cubs like to fight over the same piece of meat. It was the same when Luo Ning was around; he liked to fight with them for the same thing.

Luo Ning got out of the car, and Xiao Jie followed behind her with a shawl in his hand.

After hesitating for a moment, I still reached out and handed it to her.

"It gets chilly at night, put this on so you don't catch a cold."

Luo Ning was still wearing her pajamas, which were a bit thin, so she took the shawl and wrapped it around herself.

"Has this rain never stopped?"

Xiao Jie looked at her long hair draped over her shoulders and nodded slightly, "Mm."

"This awful weather! It's like it's brought enough rain for the next few years."

Luo Ning complained in a low voice that after the strong acid rain, the sky began to clear up, followed by several months of extreme heat.

In the apocalypse, all kinds of weather occur at once.

For example, prolonged periods of heavy rainfall, prolonged periods of extreme heat, prolonged periods of extreme cold, prolonged periods of polar day, and prolonged periods of polar night.

There is no longer the changing of the seasons, nor the alternation of day and night.

In his previous life, Luo Ning lived in the apocalypse for ten years, during which time did not return to normal.

Xiao Jie reached out and pulled her hair out from under her shawl.

Luo Ning turned to look at him.

"I'm sorry, but this should make you feel better. Back in school, you always styled your hair in all sorts of pretty ways."

Xiao Jie cleared his throat awkwardly. He remembered that when he was in school, his hair was always styled in various pretty ways, or draped over his shoulders, and even in winter, it was never covered around his neck.

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment; normal school life seemed so far away to her now.

In this life, she has only graduated for less than half a year, but in her previous life, she lived in the apocalypse for ten years.

She had forgotten what her school life was like before the apocalypse.

"Thanks!"

She glanced at Xiao Jie. Even though she had become the enviable female war goddess of the Red Maple Base in her previous life, she still wanted to be Luo Ning before the apocalypse.

Xiao Jie rubbed his fingertips together. Seeing that she didn't seem to mind, he secretly smiled under the cover of darkness.

"You're welcome!"

Luo Ning was exceptionally sensitive to changes in people's emotions and didn't know why he had suddenly become excited.

I felt a little uneasy, like the feeling of being watched when I was on a mission before.

Open the perspective panel; there are no ambushes around.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and she shivered, attributing her strange feeling to the cool night air.

She tightened her shawl around her shoulders. "I'm going back now. You should get some rest too. We'll have to take turns driving tomorrow."

Xiao Jie watched her get into the car, feeling a pang of regret.

They rarely spent time alone together; most of the time, they were surrounded by several little kids.

He specially prepared delicious food in advance to lure those two little brats away, wanting to spend some time alone with her.

I never expected this awful weather to ruin everything.

The next day.

Luo Ning jumped out of the car feeling refreshed. Although she had slept for several hours during the day yesterday, she still forced herself to sleep at night and slept until dawn.

"Good morning, boss!" Liang Xiao ran over to greet him.

Luo Ning nodded. The weather wasn't as dark as yesterday, but the torrential rain still hadn't stopped.

"Good morning, big sister!" Shen Yi also ran over.

They were waiting for breakfast, and the aroma of Xiao Ge's breakfast had already reached their noses.

But Brother Xiao wouldn't let us eat; he insisted on waiting for the big sister to get up before we could eat.

Xiao Jie brought over the breakfast he had prepared. "Is it okay if we eat out today?"

Luo Ning's car was parked under a awning last night, but now the air and light are much better outside when they eat.

She nodded, and Xiao Jie immediately moved all the tables and chairs off the car.

123 woke up with Luo Ning today.

She jumped onto Luo Ning and sat there in a daze. When she saw the breakfast that Xiao Jie had placed on the table, she immediately went over to it.

She started her usual compliments, "Male lead, did you make this? It looks delicious. You're amazing, male lead."

Xiao Jie laughed. That's the good thing about 123: they don't hold grudges. When they're well-behaved, they're adorable, but when they're naughty, they're a headache.

"Then eat more later."

123 nodded. Luo Ning sat down and warned 123, "We'll eat our own food later. You're not allowed to take mine after you're done eating."

12 complained, "The male lead always gives you more than you need. 1, 2, and 3 aren't enough. The male lead is biased."

"No, you're mistaken," Luo Ning said calmly.

As the head of the family, Xiao Jie would definitely have to please her, his provider. If he didn't favor her, who would he favor?

Liang Xiao and Shen Yi looked at the breakfast on the table with great anticipation.

"Brother Xiao, we all get a share, right?"

Xiao Jie looked at Luo Ning. She had provided all the ingredients for his cooking, and she had taken enough for several people, which should include them.

"Come sit down and eat with us!"

Luo Ning had a decent impression of the group. Although she provided the ingredients and Xiao Jie cooked the meals, none of them tried to take the supplies they encountered along the way from her.

When they encounter undamaged supplies, they will proactively ask her to come and collect them.

They could have collected some themselves, but she always took it all.

They also said that they receive a salary and that the government provides them with good benefits, so they won't go hungry.

Luo Ning knew that the government controlled food very strictly, and even they couldn't get anything good to eat; at most, they could just eat their fill.

So I always bring out extra ingredients so they can eat together.

"Okay!"

Liang Xiao and Shen Yi ran over with smiles. The captain and Brother Cheng were discussing something, while Zhou Jibai was practicing his superpowers somewhere again. Only the two of them could enjoy the delicious food first.

After breakfast, Luo Ning and his group officially embarked on their journey to Huining City.

On their way back, Fu Xing and his companions felt heavy-hearted. In just a few days, the journey had undergone a complete transformation compared to when they arrived.

I thought coming here was tough enough, but I didn't expect going back would be even harder.

Of course, the most tiring were Luo Ning and Xiao Jie, who only sat in the car, even though it was a bit bumpy.

Luo Ning and Xiao Jie were indeed frantically dodging in a speedboat the whole way.

There were practically no roads left to drive on, as most of them were flooded. With mutated birds constantly watching them from the sky, they could only use speedboats.

However, there were many mutated animals and plants on the road, and the number of high-level zombies was several times greater than when they arrived.

Wanting to get back to Ningcheng as soon as possible, the group didn't linger on the road, except for the two speedboat drivers who had a hard time avoiding them.

"The rain seems to be getting lighter!"

Fu Xing looked at the sky outside. The rain had lessened considerably, and the sky was beginning to clear.

Luo Ning's heart leaped at the sight.

Acid rain is coming!
