Fu Yan placed a grilled fish into a plate, kept it warm using fire element, and handed it to Wenren Lei: "Go."

Wenren Lei looked up and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

Fine snowflakes began to fall again. Wenrenlei opened an umbrella and carefully covered the fish in her hand with it.

Upon reaching the courtyard gate, Wenren Lei leaped onto the courtyard wall, searching everywhere for Wenren Yu's figure.

Wenren Yu was sitting on the edge of the city wall, head bowed in thought. Her long white hair was loosely tied up, and the ends of her hair around her waist swayed gently in the wind.

Wenren Lei walked over and handed him the grilled fish, saying, "You're such a loner, bro."

Wenren Yu took it, picked up a small piece with her chopsticks, and tasted it: "It tastes good."

Wenren Lei sat down next to him and moved the umbrella over their heads: "Of course, it was Chef Han who baked it."

Wenren Yu ate the fish slowly and deliberately, his gaze fixed on the dark base.

Wenren Lei felt a tightness in his chest. He had some things he wanted to say but didn't know how to start, so he simply followed Wenren Yu's gaze and looked towards the base.

It's nine o'clock at night, not yet the time when most people go to sleep, but there aren't many lights in the base. Only a few core functional areas are scattered with faint light.

Wenren Lei seemed lost in thought, then asked, "Brother, is there a power outage at the base?"

Wenren Yu ate a small piece of fish belly, placed the plate on the crenellation of the city wall, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, reached out and took the umbrella from Wenren Lei, and held it above their heads.

After doing all this, Wenren Yu finally spoke: "There are too few lightning element ability users who can provide a stable power supply."

Wenren Lei pursed her lips: "Are you worried about this? Or rather, do you hope that the base can achieve a stable power supply?"

Wenren Yu's tone was devoid of emotion: "It's not a matter of hope, it's just the trend of development. Right now, all the bases are groping their way forward in the dark. How long they can take humanity, and how far they can go, are all unknowns."

Wenren Lei slowly lay down on the city wall, resting her head on Wenren Yu's lap: "I don't understand."

Wenren Yu looked down at him: "To put it bluntly, it's about saving the world."

Wenren Lei nodded lazily, remained silent for a while, and then said, "That's too tiring."

Wenren Yu said softly, "Yes, I'm so tired."

Wenren Lei looked up at him and patted her chest: "But now, you can rely on me."

Wenren Yu's lips curled up slightly, a subtle sense of accomplishment rising in her heart. The child who had grown up under her protection had now become someone she could rely on.

He asked softly, "How do you intend for me to rely on you?"

Wenren Lei reached out and plucked a strand of Wenren Yu's hair, playing with it between her fingertips: "I have a buddy who invented the crystal core generator."

Wenren Yu's expression hardened: "A crystal core generator?"

Wenren Lei nodded: "That's right. You can put the crystal core into the machine to generate electricity. Just one machine is enough to power a small base all day long."

Wenren Yu asked, "Where is he?"

Wenren Lei said, "Guanggui City, Yuntu Base, his name is Huang Yijie, a young blond with an extremely high IQ."

"Cloud Map Base..." Wenren Yu pondered for a moment, "I've never heard of this name before."

"They're small, only about the size of an average residential community," Wenrenlei said, frowning. "But it's strange, when Yan Ge and I left the Yuntu base, Huang Yijie said he would soon seek cooperation with the government, but almost three months have passed and there's still no news."

Wenren Lei sat up abruptly, leaning forward and swaying against the wall: "I hope nothing bad has happened."

Wenren Yu, worried he might fall, reached out to steady him and asked, "Didn't you leave any contact information?"

"I left it. I tried calling the satellite phone a few days ago, but no one answered," Wenren Lei said seriously. "No, I have to go check it out. Brother, assign a field mission to our team."

Wenren Yu said, "You can just go directly. Why go through all that complicated mission process? Don't you find it troublesome?"

Wenren Lei raised her head slightly: "That won't do. How am I supposed to earn points if I don't do missions? We lost out big time going to Xinchen this time. We subdued a Corpse King; that's a lot of points!"

Wenren Yu chuckled softly: "Money-grubber."

"Just give me one task."

"it is good."

Wenren Lei was satisfied and chuckled, then turned to look at the base.

He pointed to the dark trading market in the distance and said, "From now on, a night market can be opened there."

Wenren Yu turned her head to look at Wenren Lei, whose face was full of anticipation, and said, "Okay."

The trading market is next to a residential area. Wenrenlei's gaze swept over and she could vaguely see several figures moving about on the street.

It was so late, and Wenren Lei thought it was a thief, so she quickly took out her high-definition night vision device to look over.

Liao Xingwei's figure came into view, followed by several people, each carrying a black cloth bag, as they hurriedly entered a residential building.

"Huh?" Wenren Lei leaned forward again, swaying precariously. "What are Liao Xingwei's group doing sneaking around like this so late at night?"

Wenren Yu reached out and grabbed the back of his collar, saying, "They must be dividing up candles; they've been doing that for the past few days."

Wenren Lei put down her night vision goggles and asked, "Are there so many people in the base who are short of candles?"

"No, there wasn't originally," Wenren Yu said calmly. "For those who are truly short of supplies, the base has assistance policies. However, Liao Xingwei's help knows no bounds, so it's easier to ask him for help than to apply for base policies."

"Oh~" Wenren Lei understood the intricacies of the situation.

Earning points in Japan isn't difficult; as long as you work hard, you won't go hungry.

Everyone could afford candles, but one day a hothead appeared, making a big fuss about helping the poor. He would help anyone who asked him for help unconditionally.

Over time, everyone became unable to afford candles.

Wenrenlei has realized something new, but he thinks Liao Xingwei's behavior is stupid.

He said, "Consider this a learning experience. When he suffers a setback, he'll definitely be crying his eyes out with his teammates, hahaha..."

There was no way around it; just thinking about Liao Xingwei's humiliation made Wenren Lei genuinely happy.

Wenren Yu ruffled his hair: "Mmm."

After Wenren finished laughing and crying, Liao Xingwei also came out of the residential building, and the group walked into the next building in the wind and snow.

Watching those departing figures, Wenren Lei suddenly spoke, "Brother, you definitely won't fall for Liao Xingwei, right?"

Wenren Yu chuckled: "No."

"That's good." Wenren Lei then asked, "What about Gu Zhengming?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

The wind blew snowflakes onto Wenren Lei's face, where they slowly melted into water.

Wenren Yu looked at Wenren Lei quietly, raised her hand to wipe the water from his face, stood up and said, "The snow is falling heavily, it's cold here, let's go back."

"elder brother."

Wenren cried out and called out to him.

Wenren Yu turned her head to look at him: "What's wrong?"
