Wenren Lei looked up and saw Wenren Yu and Gu Zhengming standing in the living room with their backs to the light, their bodies outlined by a warm line from the outdoor lights.

He buried his head back in Fu Yan's lower abdomen and mumbled, "Never mind."

Wenren Yu smiled, walked over and half-squatted down, gently flicking Wenren Lei's head: "If you don't get up, there won't be any delicious dinner left."

Wenren Lei wasn't fully awake yet. Her brain processed Wenren Yu's voice into a blurry white noise that sounded gentle and peaceful, with a subtle soothing effect.

In a daze, it felt as if I had returned to the pre-apocalyptic world, to countless ordinary and lazy evenings.

He smiled and snuggled into Fu Yan's arms, saying, "I won't get up."

"Little Golden Bean has entered her rebellious phase."

Gu Zhengming's voice drifted into Wenren Lei's ears. He took a deep breath, woke up, and got up to glare at Gu Zhengming.

Wenren Yu looked at Gu Zhengming and gave him a friendly reminder: "He's going to beat you up."

Gu Zhengming turned and ran towards Meng Fan's house, shouting, "He can't catch me!"

Wenren Lei, her face cold, put on her shoes and sprinted towards Gu Zhengming, shouting, "Gu Zhengming, you dare to fight me to the death!"

Wenren Yu smiled helplessly, turned around and left: "I'm leaving."

"Hmm." Fu Yan slowly got up and followed.

Early the next morning, the A1-V carrying Wenren Lei, Fu Yan, Wenren Yu, and Han Mingjie set off for District 1.

Han Mingjie was so excited last night that she couldn't sleep at all. As soon as she got in the car, she rushed into the bedroom to catch up on sleep.

Wenren Lei collapsed onto the carpet, her eyelids drooping with sleep.

Wenren Yu threw the crystal core ability user she had captured yesterday into the small dark room, sat on the sofa, propped her chin up, and quietly watched the drowsy Wenren Lei.

Fu Yan went into the kitchen, added the concentrated stabilizing agent to warm water, stirred it well, and poured it into a straw cup.

He came out, sat on the carpet, helped Wenren Lei up, and held the straw cup to his lips: "Drink a little before you sleep."

Wenren Lei was incredibly lazy; her whole body was limp, and she didn't even want to lift her head.

Fu Yan had no choice but to hold his chin and put the straw into his mouth.

Seeing Wenren Lei biting a straw and having to be coaxed by Fu Yan to drink water, Wenren Yu said calmly, "Don't spoil him."

Fu Yan scoffed: "It's just drinking water, how is that spoiling him?"

Wenren Yu snorted coldly: "Incomprehensible."

After feeding her water, Fu Yan held Wenren Lei in his arms and told her to sleep well. He looked up and asked, "What meeting are you going to in District 1 for?"

Wenren Yu raised his chin towards the small dark room: "All the major bases have captured crystal core ability users. The Alliance has issued a notice to conduct joint interrogations in Zone 1."

Fu Yan said, "The Cataclysmic Research Institute has so many branches, and the locations found during the investigations are scattered. What's the point of a joint investigation?"

Wenren Yu gently shook his head: "These people were selected from various research institute branches to serve in the Crystal Core Ability User Legion." He curled the corners of his lips, "Our little golden bean has done a great service again."

Without Wenrenlei's message, the alliance's attention would still be focused on the research institute. If the Crystal Core Ability Legion were to gain momentum, the base would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Fu Yan gently rubbed his chin against Wenren Lei's hair, understanding dawning on him.

The Cataclysmic Research Institute expended resources to purify the crystal cores in order to build this legion. The alliance's choice to directly target the legion was simple and brutal.

Wenren Yu rubbed his temples: "However, the research institute cannot be left unattended; we must nip it in the bud."

Fu Yan looked down to confirm that the person in his arms was still fast asleep, and said, "I think your mental state is even worse than Lei Lei's."

Wenren Yu nodded wearily: "Because I'm a mental type, and I'm about to break through to a higher level."

Fu Yan's face darkened. If Wenren Yu lost her mind after reaching S-rank, the situation would be extremely troublesome.

"You can no longer use your superpowers for the time being," Fu Yan said in a deep voice.

Wenren Yu replied, "I understand."

Upon arrival at their destination, the group completed security checks and swiped their ID cards to enter Zone 1.

District 1 was unusually lively today, with base commanders from various bases gathering here with their teams. There were many people, and many patrol teams as well.

Temporary rest areas were set up in the square, with rows of benches for people to rest.

Wenren Lei sat on the bench, looking around, and immediately spotted the field team leader who had come to pick up Guan Yu earlier.

He immediately pulled out a black beanie, put it on, and shrank behind Fu Yan to hide, afraid of being seen by the captain.

Han Mingjie followed along furtively, using her body to shield Wenren Lei: "Boss, don't worry, I will never let Commander Liu see you."

Wenren Lei was moved to tears: "Good brother."

As soon as she finished speaking, the satellite phone vibrated. Wenrenlei opened it and saw that Commander Liu had sent a message.

Have you arrived yet? I'll take you to the medical school to pick up the person.

Wenren Lei immediately replied: 【No need, I've already picked them up. I'm quite busy, I don't have time to play with you.】

[You heartless wretch, what have you been busy with all day?]

Never mind that, kill the zombies! Bang bang bang, flashing blades and blood everywhere.

Wenren Yu handed the crystal core ability user over to the guards in District 1, then walked over to Wenren Lei and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so guilty? Are you wanted by District 1?"

Wenren Lei covered her face with her hands: "It's more terrifying than a wanted notice. I have something going on with Chief Liu."

Fu Yan raised an eyebrow with a hint of sullen satisfaction.

"Oh?" Wenren Yu asked with interest, "What's going on?"

Wenren Lei pulled the group aside and recounted how he had impersonated Fu Yunyi to fool them.

"You're quite smart," Wenren Yu commented.

Wenren Lei pushed Wenren Yu away: "So you hurry up and go to the meeting. I won't keep you company, lest Lao Liu catches you."

Wenren Yu smiled and walked forward, saying, "I understand."

Wenrenlei whispered, "Remember not to tell Lao Liu you have a younger brother!"

"Okay." Wenren Yu didn't even recognize the old Liu he was talking about.

After Wenren Yu's figure disappeared, Wenren Lei pulled Fu Yan and Han Mingjie away quickly: "Go find your sister, it feels like we're running around naked outside."

The three arrived at the Department of Medicine, Zone 1.

Han Mingyue usually comes here with Anna to assist with some experimental projects.

When Anna arrived at the laboratory entrance, she was sitting on a bench in the corridor waiting for Han Mingyue to come out.

"Anna!" Han Mingjie ran over.

Anna looked up and nodded slightly to the group: "Old Han, don't get too excited, your sister is inside."

Han Mingjie peered through the laboratory glass and saw a man in a white coat guiding Han Mingyue to unleash her supernatural abilities, while a woman in a white coat beside her was taking notes with a pen and paper.

Wenren Lei also leaned over and peered through the glass, then exclaimed in realization, "Guan Yu and Yuan Man!"

Han Mingjie turned her head and asked, "Do you know the boss?"

"Yan Ge and I saved them. That man is a purification ability user."

Han Mingjie remarked, "The world is a giant circle."

After watching for a while, Han Mingjie sat down on a bench and chatted with Anna: "Thank you for taking care of Yueyue. It must have taken a lot of effort, right?"

Anna smiled and shook her head: "Yueyue is very well-behaved. Besides, Wenren Lei gave me a lot of supplies and a storage space, so I guess I made a profit."

Han Mingjie looked at Wenren Lei, opened her arms, and was about to rush over and hug her: "Boss! You've done so much for me without even realizing it!"

Wenren Lei reached out and braced herself against his shoulder: "If you go any further, I'll beat you up."

"What a terrible temper," Han Mingjie said quietly, then turned to Anna, "Do you want to come with us to District 11? Everyone's there."

Anna said solemnly, "I'm not going. My career is here."

Wenren Lei turned around and said, "I heard from Cheng Nianli that you're about to be promoted to team leader."

"She's already taken office," Anna said. "I've been too busy lately to tell her yet."

Everyone congratulated Anna. Then Anna arrived with her mission, said goodbye, and left.

Wenren Lei felt a strange mix of emotions, as if she had witnessed someone's growth. However, she figured she probably wouldn't have any further contact with her in the future.
