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

The snow gradually fell more heavily, and the A1-V silently opened its transparent roof.

The terrace was quiet and peaceful. Wenren Yu looked up at the snow falling all around her, while the sound of Wenren Lei crunching onion rings echoed in her ears.

He glanced at Wenrenlei and couldn't help but laugh to himself.

I used to be so busy that I didn't have time to rest for a long time, and I haven't been able to properly see my younger brother eating so earnestly.

But with the apocalypse, he had some free time and could sit with his younger brother idly to kill time.

He just couldn't imagine how this child had managed to carry the irrational Fu Yan through the early days of the apocalypse.

Just having this concept in my mind started to cause waves of excruciating pain.

"Little Golden Bean".

"Hmm?" Wenren Lei took another bag of shrimp chips from his lap.

Wenren Yu asked, "How have you been without your brother?"

Wenren Lei paused for a second, then resumed crunching her snacks: "Don't tell kids these things."

Wenren Yu looked at the snowflakes in the sky and said slowly, "Children aren't that capable."

Wenren Lei brushed the crumbs off her hands and looked up at the snow with Wenren Yu: "Brother, I'll be twenty after this New Year."

"Um."

"When you shouldered everything back then, you were only eight or nine years old."

Wenren Yu was stunned; he never expected his younger brother to say such a thing.

Wenren Lei paused for a moment, then finally said the words that had been stuck in her heart: "Brother, you've worked so hard all these years."

Wenren Yu felt both bittersweet and tender; so this was what it felt like to raise someone properly.

"Happy New Year, brother."

"Happy New Year."

The two remained silent for a long time.

The aroma of food wafted from downstairs. Wenren Yu snapped out of her reverie, took out two small red envelopes from her pocket, and handed them to Wenren Lei: "New Year's money, one for you and one for Fu Yan."

Wenren Lei happily accepted the red envelope: "Thanks, brother!" He started to open it, "Fu Yan got one too?"

Wenren Yu said, "He's with you now, so he's my brother. Of course he'll have one."

Wenren Lei turned the red envelope upside down, and a peace buckle tied with a black rope appeared in her palm.

Wenren Yu said, "I made this rope myself, but I won't use it for you this year, you won't need it."

"I like it!" Wenren Lei handed over the safety buckle. "Help me put it on."

"Come here." Wenren Yu beckoned.

Wenren Lei leaned closer and lowered his head, while Wenren Yu carefully put the safety buckle around his neck.

Wenren Lei tucked the safety buckle inside her clothes and shivered from the cold.

Wenren Yu laughed at him: "Silly."

The terrace had a gentle and peaceful atmosphere. A1-V shyly popped out and said, "Master~"

"Hmm?" Wenren Lei asked, "Is dinner served?"

Caught up in the atmosphere, A1-V said tenderly, "More or less. In the grove of trees a hundred meters away, a small team is preparing for battle."

Wenren Lei rolled his eyes: "How is this any different from eating?" He looked at Wenren Yu, "But they're coming more and more frequently."

Wenren Yu stood up slowly and deliberately, raising her hand to straighten her clothes: "Let's go take a look."

A1-V said, "Just a reminder to you both, this time it's a team of ten."

Wenren Lei rolled off the deck chair: "I'm coming over, don't show yourself yet." He walked to the edge of the terrace and jumped down, "Send a little fly to follow me."

A1-V immediately understood and released a miniature camera to follow Wenren Lei, projecting the real-time footage in front of Wenren Yu.

Wenren Lei ran forward at top speed through the wind and snow, and didn't forget to stuff a shrimp chip into her mouth to chew along the way.

He heard hurried footsteps behind him and turned around to see Fu Yan quickly catching up. Wenren Lei smiled and said, "You're here so fast."

Fu Yan sped up and moved close to Wenren Lei's side, saying, "It's a good thing you waited for me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch up."

Gu Zhengming, who was watching the surveillance footage from his car in the distance, took out his notebook and carefully copied down the sentence.

"Narcissistic, I didn't wait for you." Wenren Lei glanced at him sideways.

"I like you too." Fu Yan raised his hand, pulled Wenren Lei into his arms around the waist, protected her with his shielding ability, and continued running forward.

"This sentence is good too." Gu Zhengming wrote furiously.

The two quickly crept to the vicinity and hid in the shadows to observe the situation.

Ten people ahead are meticulously setting up an ambush in the bushes, seemingly intending to lure someone out and kill them.

A1-V's estimate was conservative; the team had more than ten members, and there were still a steady stream of ability users coming from afar, trudging through the snow to gather, bringing the total to at least forty.

Wenren Lei exclaimed in a low voice, "Such a grand gesture, this is a fight to the death."

Fu Yan raised his chin forward: "Lan Ting."

Wenren Lei followed his gaze and saw Lan Ting standing in the middle of the crowd, solemnly directing everyone to set up defenses.

Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow and said, "He actually came in person, is he in a hurry?"

A slightly somber voice came from among the flies: "It's Lan Peiyou. He knows I'm looking for you outside, and he probably wants to get rid of you before we reunite."

Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow, jumped out of Fu Yan's arms, and walked forward: "Then let's stop hiding and get straight to the point."

The two strolled leisurely toward Lan Peiyou. Fu Yan had a thought and conjured a water alloy protective shield around them.

Hearing footsteps, Lan Peiyou turned around abruptly.

Wenren Lei chuckled at him, shoved the remaining shrimp chips into her mouth, tossed the packaging bag lightly onto the snow, and crunched them as she mumbled, "Nao Lan, more noodles."

Behind Lan Peiyou, the people from Area 11 immediately went into battle mode.

Wenren Lei's gaze swept over the crowd, and he felt a pang of heartache. They were all soldiers his brother had raised with real money; it would be a real waste to kill them.

Lan Peiyou frowned slightly, then smiled: "Long time no see."

Wenren Lei finished chewing and swallowing the shrimp chips, and said, "Are you still buying weapons? You should have said you were my brother's friend earlier, and I would have given you the weapons for free. Why did you make up a fake name like Lan Ting?"

Lan Peiyou's expression turned somewhat ugly: "It seems your brother has found you." Then he gave a mocking laugh, "However, you are not worthy to call Lan Ting by his name."

"Huh?" Wenren Lei clicked her tongue, suddenly realizing, "Oh~ so you're avenging Lan Ting. But if he's my defeated opponent, he doesn't deserve to be called by my name."

Lan Peiyou gritted his teeth: "Sharp-tongued."

As they were talking, the superhumans arrived at the scene from afar. Forty or fifty people stood behind Lan Peiyou, a dark mass that created a sense of oppression.

Wenren Lei cried out in her heart: Money, money, money, all money, his brother's money!

He thought for a moment, then asked Fu Yan, "Which victim was Lan Ting?"

Fu Yan shook his head: "I don't know."

Wenren Lei turned to Lan Peiyou and asked, "Do you know?"

Lan Peiyou was so angry he almost laughed. He turned to face the crowd behind him and shouted, "See? This is a vicious person. Other people's lives are not even worth dust in his eyes."

Wenren Lei smiled, gently poking Fu Yan's shoulder: "He praised me."

Fu Yan glanced at him helplessly and said, "Yeah."

Shouts of condemnation rose and fell from the crowd.

"Stop wasting time talking to him, just attack and avenge Chief Lan's brother!"

"Chief Lan, you don't need to say anything more. A life for a life, everyone will help you."

"Even for the sake of those fifty-odd brothers who died, this man must be killed!"
