In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

Wenren Lei crouched behind the wall on the top floor of Building 10, cautiously observing. No lights were on in Building 12, but there were still people patrolling at the entrance.

The night was quiet, and the crunching sound of the patrol's footsteps on the snow was crystal clear. Soon, their footsteps became disordered, followed by arguing.

Wenren Lei couldn't see clearly, so she turned her head and whispered to Fu Yan, "What's wrong? What's wrong? I think I heard Huang Yijie's voice."

Fu Yan took out night vision goggles from his spatial storage and put them on Wenren Lei's face: "Use these to see."

Wenrenlei adjusted her night vision goggles and looked towards the entrance of Building 12.

Huang Yijie, hands on his hips, confronted the guard: "I said let me in!"

This kid really did a good job washing his hair; his greasy bowl cut now looks very stylish.

The guard raised his hand to stop him: "Yijie, the boss said that no one but him can go in."

"Damn it! Do you think I'm a dog? Woof woof woof! Let me in!" Huang Yijie said, trying to force his way in.

"Even if you were a donkey, it wouldn't work."

Several guards rushed forward and grabbed Huang Yijie, pulling him away.

"Damn it, who are you calling a donkey?!" Huang Yijie kicked wildly with both feet dangling in the air. "Put me down! You think I won't die here?!"

"Brave," Wenren Lei commented, clinging to the wall. "When I asked him during the day, he pretended not to care, but he secretly investigated on his own."

"Don't wash your dirty linen in public." Fu Yan said succinctly.

Wenren Lei smiled and reached out to Fu Yan: "Give me a slingshot, I'll help my buddy."

Downstairs, Huang Yijie was still kicking his legs sexily when the guards supporting him suddenly knelt down one by one, hugging their legs and wailing.

Huang Yijie landed safely, looked around, and triumphantly tossed his bowl-cut hair before running into the building: "I knew I was destined to be extraordinary."

Wenren Lei shoved the night vision goggles and slingshot at Fu Yan, then jumped onto him, saying, "Come on, let's go in too."

Huang Yijie went crazy and ran all the way, being chased by the guards. Wenren Lei and Fu Yan used the noise as cover and successfully climbed into the ventilation duct.

Wenren Lei, covered in dust, started throwing a tantrum again, lying down and sulking: "Isn't there a more dignified way?"

Fu Yan, working tirelessly, crawled forward while holding onto a waterproof tarp: "Don't you think you look like a handsome and mysterious secret agent right now?"

Wenren Lei rolled over on the tarpaulin: "I feel like a pig waiting to be slaughtered on a conveyor belt."

Fu Yan chuckled softly, stopped to listen carefully to the direction, and continued crawling after confirming the direction: "Then someone will definitely take a liking to this little pig at first glance and say, 'What an adorable little piglet, I'll take it home and raise it.'"

Wenren Lei rolled over and lay face down on the tarpaulin, resting her chin on her hand and giggling, "Then this person must have excellent taste."

"It's all because the little pig is so cute."

Fu Yan followed the sound to a ventilation opening in a basement and whispered, "Lei Lei, we're here."

"I'm here." Wenren Lei crawled forward into the shadows, nestled in Fu Yan's arms, and peered into the room through the blinds.

With Wenren Lei's neck close to his eyes, Fu Yan leaned forward and gently inhaled, his nose touching Wenren Lei's skin.

"Go away, it itches." Wenren Lei gently pushed him away, her attention returning to the basement.

Inside the room, Huang Yijie was confronting a tall, burly man, who stood with his hands on his hips, panting heavily: "Huang Yiyun, you better explain yourself!"

Huang Yiyun waved helplessly, dismissing the guards who were following Huang Yijie, and then stood there in silence.

Wenren Lei looked around the room. The furnishings were simple: a cabinet with a door, three single beds, and a chair.

There was a person lying on each of the three beds, all with their eyes closed and their breathing faint.

Wenren Lei's gaze lingered on the person in the middle, and she gently nudged Fu Yan with her elbow: "That person looks familiar, doesn't he resemble Grandma Li's grandson?"

"It's not just a resemblance, it's him." Fu Yan's gaze swept over the area. "It seems the three people who went missing while searching for supplies are all here."

Wenren Lei looked at Lu Shen's face and said, "I feel like he's about to die; his face is almost as white as snow."

Fu Yan said, "It looks like excessive blood loss."

Huang Yijie, who was below, also noticed the three people on the bed. He rushed over, pointed at them, and demanded, "Huang Yiyun, explain to me what the hell this means? Didn't you say they were missing? Is this what you call missing?"

Huang Yijie took a deep breath and continued to bombard him with a series of questions: "Are the rumors in the base true? Did you use them for experiments? Or did you cut off their flesh and eat it?! Huang Yiyun! How could you be so greedy?!"

Wenren Lei, who was in the ventilation duct, almost burst out laughing. She covered her mouth and whispered, "His thought process is quite unique."

Huang Yijie continued to berate, "What did you say when you built the base?! Huh? Didn't you tell me you were going to lead everyone to survive in the apocalypse?! You even said you'd cooperate with the government to promote crystal core power generation technology, how come you've become so twisted now?!"

Huang Yiyun waited patiently for Huang Yijie to finish his rant, then stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and said in a deep voice, "You go out first, I'll explain to you when I get home."

"I'm not fucking leaving!" Huang Yijie shoved his hand away. "If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm dying here!"

"Yijie..." Lu Shen, who was lying unconscious on the bed, suddenly raised one hand with difficulty and gently grabbed Huang Yijie's wrist.

"Holy crap!" Huang Yijie was caught off guard and almost jumped up in fright. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lu Shen clearly. "Lu Shen, don't scare me like that. I thought you were dead."

Lu Shen tried to sit up, but Huang Yiyun helped him up and whispered, "Slow down."

The simple act of getting up almost drained Lu Shen of his strength. He said weakly, "Yi Jie, you've misunderstood your brother."

Huang Yijie flicked his bangs in annoyance: "What did I misunderstand about him?"

Lu Shen, slightly out of breath, said, "He saved me."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yijie's expression softened. He glanced at the silent Huang Yiyun and said somewhat awkwardly, "You two should explain yourselves clearly at once, or I will lead a rebellion and usurp the position of base leader."

Huang Yiyun glanced at him: "Capable."

Lu Shen slowly raised his hand, a faint white light emanating from his palm: "I am a purification ability user. Not long ago, I was captured by the people from the Cataclysm Research Institute and forced to purify my crystal core. Now my ability is useless."

He looked at Huang Yiyun: "Thanks to Yiyun for sparing no expense to get me out, otherwise I would have just died slowly in the basement of the research institute like the other people whose superpowers were drained."

Wenren Lei crawled forward in the ventilation shaft: "Holy crap, this really is the Cataclysmic Research Institute."

Fu Yan gently pressed down on his head, which was turning around randomly: "Don't rush, listen again."

Huang Yijie remained silent for a long time, his breathing trembling slightly: "Damn, this research institute is really despicable."

He remained indignant for a long time, then glanced at the other two beds and asked, "So, are those two also purification ability users?"

Huang Yiyun lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered, "No."
