You say the cataclysm only comes after you've cleared the entire dungeon?

"Dad, Mom, close the windows." Lou Fengyu's tone was very calm, as if he were stating something he already knew would happen. "You stay at home, I'm going to pick up my brother."

She put on her raincoat, grabbed her keys, opened the door, and went out.

The steel door slammed shut behind them with a heavy thud.

Pan Quan and Lou Qingjian exchanged a glance, said nothing, and silently closed all the windows in their house tightly.

As Lou Fengyue stepped out of the building, the rain was already pouring down, splashing a layer of white mist onto the concrete ground.

She pulled her raincoat tighter, which was emitting smoke, and quickly walked towards the entrance of the residential area.

They happened to run into Qin Qian in front of the door.

"I was just about to come find you." Qin Qian held a black umbrella and a walkie-talkie in his hand. "This should be the last downpour of the rainy season, right?"

"Hmm." Lou Fengyue walked up to him, raindrops dripping from the edge of her raincoat to her feet. "Is the construction in the new district finished?"

"The main structure is all set up, and the sunshade and solar panels on the roof have been installed. Now, only the interior housing is not yet finished."

"What about the drainage system? Can it hold up?"

"Yes, the drainage pipes were all finished before the heavy rain, so they can definitely handle this rain."

Lou Fengyue nodded knowingly and didn't ask any further questions. "Move the supplies in the mall to higher ground as soon as possible, and transfer the survivors to the new area immediately after the rain stops. I'm going to pick up my brother."

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed into the rain.

The roads were slippery from the rain, and the streets were littered with zombie corpses and piles of garbage.

It took Lou Fengyue nearly two hours to reach the vicinity of the new district construction site.

From afar, one can see that the once dilapidated town has been completely transformed, with sturdy walls built of reinforced concrete and heavy city gates cast from countless steel beams.

The top is completely sealed, with solar panels installed, and then sealed with explosion-proof glass for protection to prevent flying mutant beasts from damaging the solar panels.

In addition, there are about ten square light-transmitting openings with sides of two meters, which are sufficient to meet the basic lighting needs of the city.

"Holy crap! The class monitor?"

Li Yichen stood on the city wall, responsible for the final reinforcement of the roof.

When they saw the familiar white SUV in front of the gate through the glass, their eyes widened in surprise.

He hurriedly turned around and shouted downwards, "Open the city gates quickly! Loulan is here!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone who was working paused for a moment.

With such heavy rain outside, why did Comrade Loulan suddenly come?

Could it be that they've come to help with the work?

The city gate creaked open as two workers struggled to push it open.

Seeing someone come out, Lou Fengyue jumped out of the car and went inside.

The scene inside was much better than she had imagined.

It's different from the bases I saw in the Calamity Trials.

Most of those bases were built with corrugated iron and wooden planks, and the environment was dirty and chaotic, looking like a refugee slum.

The place was clean and tidy. Although it lacked reinforced concrete and most of the houses were made of wood, they were obviously more sturdy and had a reasonable layout, as if you had stepped into a secluded town.

The lighting wasn't very bright, but every path had an incandescent light.

Beneath the mask, Lou Fengyue's lips curled up slightly.

As expected of my brother, the base built by professionals is truly exceptional!

"Yueyue!" Lou Yunzheng ran over from the direction of the air-raid shelter. Seeing his younger sister dressed in all black, her mask and hat completely soaked, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. "What are you doing here in such heavy rain? It's so dangerous!"

Lou Fengyue answered matter-of-factly, "I've come to pick you up and take you home."

Lou Yunzheng paused for a moment, then hesitantly turned his head to look at the busy workers.

Those people met his gaze, quickly looked away, and continued working.

Pretend you didn't hear anything.

In reality, they all pricked up their ears, wanting to know if Lou Gong would abandon them and leave with Lou Lan.

Lou Yunzheng lowered his eyes, sighed inwardly, and said in a softer voice, "Yueyue, the project here isn't finished yet..."

To be honest, he was a little reluctant to part with it.

It's not that I don't want to leave, but that I don't want to suddenly abandon you at the last moment.

Having studied architecture and worked in architectural design for so many years, this is the first time I've handled a project of such a large scale.

This embodies his hard work and years of accumulated ambition, and it's almost finished...

"How much is it?" Lou Fengyue asked directly.

"I built a water purification pool on the back mountain to bring up groundwater." Lou Yunzheng unfolded the blueprints and pointed to a spot. "The internal drainage pipes haven't been dug yet. Once the trenches are dug, we can wait for them to lay the pipes."

It didn't sound like a problem. Lou Fengyue took off her gloves and put them in her pocket. "Okay, I'll help."

Lou Yunzheng's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Really?"

"This base was personally designed and supervised by my brother. Shouldn't I do my part?" Lou Fengyue said matter-of-factly. "Wherever there's a need to dig a canal, I'll do it!"

"good!"

With Lou Fengyue's addition, the progress was obviously several times faster than before.

The original plan was for Li Yichen to use his supernatural abilities to dig a drainage ditch for a whole day, but Lou Fengyue finished it by simply walking around the route.

The weighing steel frame, which was originally planned to be reinforced by two metal-type ability users in a day, was completed by Lou Fengyue with a wave of her hand.

He also used his wood-based abilities to build two houses.

The entire construction team was speechless with astonishment.

If this were peacetime, they would have been unemployed long ago.

Large raindrops pounded loudly on the bulletproof glass, but no one paid them any attention. They were busy working to finish the job before the rain stopped.

At that time, we will be able to bring our family members who are staying in the safe zone over.

"Open the city gates! The supply convoy has arrived!"

Someone shouted, and immediately someone ran to open the door.

Lou Fengyue, with her hands in her pockets, leaned against the newly built wooden house and looked towards the gate.

Two military vehicles slowly drove in and stopped on the main road.

As the driver's side door of the car in front opened and the man jumped out, he met Lou Fengyue's gaze.

Her pupils trembled slightly, and she subconsciously looked away.

Then, realizing he had been too obvious in hiding, he quickly turned his gaze back.

He was still wearing his windbreaker and military boots, and stubble had grown on his chin. His cheeks were thinner, and he looked much more haggard than before.

I guess he's been working too hard lately and is exhausted.

Li Yichen strode over, and the two chatted for a few minutes with smiles.

"Why don't you go over and say hello?" Lou Yunzheng walked up to Lou Fengyue's side at some point, glancing at her with a mischievous look.

"There's no need." Lou Fengyue lowered her eyelashes, took out a lollipop from her pocket, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.

"You're just afraid to talk about it, it's not like you don't like it anymore." Lou Yunzheng put his arm around his sister's shoulder and coaxed her gently, "If you don't say a few more words now, who knows how many decades it will be before we meet again."

The pupils in her peach blossom eyes trembled. When Lou Fengyue looked up again, she found that Luo Zeyan was already walking towards her with long strides.

His target was clear; those deep eyes were fixed on her, refusing to yield an inch.
