This battle yielded three thousand alien cores. As the zombies' levels increased, the drop rate of alien cores also increased significantly.

Back at the entrance of the small building.

Lin Shuangshuang shook her hair, and bloodstains and ice shards fell to the ground.

Huo Ling patted her head with his gloved hand. "Stop shaking me, come upstairs and take a shower."

Lin Shuangshuang followed him happily, her long pink hair wrapped around his arm, insisting on walking close to him, looking very pleased with herself.

Lorna couldn't help but cover her face with happiness, "Hiss, even though it's freezing cold, my heart is so warm! It's so nice, hehehe, so happy~"

Wu Zhe expressed his incomprehension as to why people would be so happy about shipping a couple.

Gao Lei threw the dirty clothes by the door, planning to tidy them up later.

Upstairs bathroom.

Huo Ling went into the bathroom first; the bathroom in the old-fashioned house was very small.

There is no bathtub yet.

He stripped himself clean and started taking a shower. The room was very warm, not cold at all.

Lin Shuangshuang quickly stripped herself clean and then washed with him.

Huo Ling, holding the showerhead, said, "Bend over and rinse your hair first. Why are you taking off your clothes so quickly? You can take them off after you've rinsed your hair."

Lin Shuangshuang touched him, "You're naked too."

Huo Ling clicked her tongue. "You just have to talk back to me and argue with me, don't you?"

Lin Shuangshuang became very agreeable again, "No, no, I'll listen to you."

Huo Ling scoffed inwardly. If she were really that obedient, she wouldn't be Lin Shuangshuang. Whether she listens or not depends entirely on her own whims, and she always has a whole repertoire of sweet talk to coax people.

He skillfully washed her hair, leaving it covered in bubbles.

Lin Shuangshuang washed her hair without closing her eyes, watching the bubbles fall down, "It's fun."

Huo Ling hummed in agreement. "Still fun after all these years?"

He used to think that she was only interested in bubbles because she had never taken a bubble bath before.

Lin Shuangshuang suddenly laughed and said, "It's funny. When you're not around, I feel like I can't properly experience this world. All I can see are the tasks. When I'm free, I always think about you."

Huo Ling paused for a second, his throat tightening, but he quickly continued rinsing her. "Rinse me. Close your eyes. If you miss me, why don't you look for me?"

Lin Shuangshuang said sadly, "I can't look for you. If I see you, I won't want to leave again."

Huo Ling felt a pang of sadness. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, okay, look up."

He wrapped her hair in a dry towel before letting her continue showering; once she was by his side, she was always his priority.

Huo Ling always takes care of her first before considering his own affairs. He gives her all his favoritism. Lin Shuangshuang, a little monster who has never experienced love, is naturally unable to resist. If she had known what love was back then, she probably would have confirmed her relationship with him after knowing him for only a month.

Lin Shuangshuang smiled at him, then happily applied shower gel to herself and then to Huo Ling. As she was applying it, she ended up having an accident.

**

When Lin Shuangshuang returned to bed, her hair was completely dry.

She was wearing someone's pajamas.

Captain Huo's possessiveness was extreme, to the point that he liked her wearing his clothes afterwards.

Strange quirks.

Lin Shuangshuang lay on the bed, dozing off. "I think this is very bad."

Huo Ling dried her hair. "What's wrong?"

Lin Shuangshuang mumbled, "Your conduct is bad; you recite poetry in broad daylight!"

Huo Ling was amused.

I find her reasoning to be quite insightful and interesting, sometimes even sophisticated.

When he went to see her again...

Lin Shuangshuang had already fallen asleep, hugging his pillow and burying her face in the blanket.

Huo Ling looked at her quietly for a while before bending down to kiss her forehead, then the tip of her nose, and finally her lips. This routine was their unspoken understanding.

The little monster fell in love again. This time, her dreams were no longer filled with fear, but with sweetness. Her dreams were full of Huo Ling, Huo Ling who was so good to her.

"Good night."

**

The next morning.

The expressions on Luo Na and the other two's faces changed; they looked like onlookers watching a drama unfold.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

They were all too embarrassed to say it.

The two of them were so lovey-dovey when they got back yesterday that they didn't come downstairs. It's so embarrassing!

Huo Ling wasn't afraid of their teasing at all, knowing that they were just bored and gossiping about this or that all day long.

People always need some fun.

Otherwise, how would we get through the long days? These words came from Zhao Pingsheng.

Therefore, their team doesn't have many rules or taboos.

The breakfast that Luo Na and the other two brought back from the cafeteria was upgraded today because they helped fight monsters yesterday. They even managed to scavenge out the little bit of cured meat in the village where there was no fresh meat, and made a stir-fry of cured meat and garlic sprouts.

"Aren't the people here so nice?"

"Oh my, this breakfast is so lavish it makes me feel guilty."

"Isn't that right?"

The three of them were filled with emotion as they looked at their breakfast.

Huo Ling calmly watched the news. Lin Shuangshuang hadn't gotten up yet, so he got downstairs first.

Anyway, she had to check the memo first. Yesterday, she reset her memory. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was not to dodge, but to pounce on him.

You can't blame him for being unrestrained.

She was too permissive.

How could Lin Shuangshuang not be wrong?

Huo Ling glanced at the news and noticed that Toutiao (a Chinese news aggregator) was unusually featuring news from overseas.

Due to signal loss.

Online messages were received intermittently. Several locations have already announced the annihilation of their countries, with Country R being the first to be affected. Seven or eight other familiar country names have also been crossed out, which is quite alarming.

Lorna and the other two saw it too.

"What?"

"The destruction of a nation?"

"How scary."

"My goodness, compared to this, we're actually quite lucky!"

According to the latest news online, the mutated creatures that crawled up from the seabed can't go too far; their main activity area is still the coastal region.

The coastal areas have already completed a large-scale population transfer, with people moving entirely inland.

It's freezing cold.

The mutated marine life below is isolated by the extremely thick "ice sheet" and cannot climb up for the time being.

The bad news is...

The global extreme cold, with temperatures dropping to minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius, has caused most cities to be frozen over.

The entire planet turned into a "snowball".

The official survivor base is about to be moved underground. Snow and wind cover the entire ground, and the houses have turned into crystal.

We have no choice but to move now.

Lorna whispered, "Our little castle is alright, isn't it? Maybe it's because Brother Zhang installed a heating system, so the claws haven't frozen yet."

It can still run.

Gao Lei said, "It looks like the lowest temperature right now is minus sixty degrees Celsius."

Wu Zhe sighed, "Luckily, my ability level improved and I can now resist the cold, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to survive. I'm so traumatized by the cold earlier!"

This specifically refers to the last operation in L City, where the sudden drop in temperature almost froze him to death.

The three of them chatted for a long time about the global freeze, occasionally asking Huo Ling for his opinion before he would reply. He rarely chatted with them casually.

When Lin Shuangshuang came downstairs, she was still a little awkward because she had just finished reading the memo and was still deeply moved.
