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

Huang Yijie was so heartbroken he could practically break into a sad rock song. He said, "Forget it, I'll never confide in anyone again. Damn! It's too embarrassing!"

Wenren Lei said with a pained expression, "It's someone else's fault, but I have to bear the consequences."

Not long after, Huang Yiyun returned home and, together with Huang Yijie, prepared and entertained everyone for dinner.

The Yuntu base has limited supplies, and Huang Yiyun, the base director, is not well-off either.

However, several fresh vegetables were laid out on the table, which was enough to show the sincerity of the two Huang brothers.

Fearing that Master Wen might not enjoy his meal, Wenren Lei took out several dishes that Fu Yan had prepared in advance from her spatial storage and placed them on the table.

During the meeting, Huang Yiyun asked the group for advice on the management methods of large-scale bases.

After much deliberation, Huang Yiyun decided to suspend the intake of new survivors and set up a temporary shelter at the entrance. Registration would resume once the crisis with the Corpse King was resolved.

"All entrances and exits to the base have been sealed off, and a thorough search has been launched to track down the person who tampered with the communications," Huang Yiyun said.

Wenren Lei buried her head in eating water spinach, and said in a moment, "I'm afraid he's already run away."

"Fortunately, you reminded us in time, so we acted quickly," Huang Yiyun said. "Before we came, I asked the personnel on duty at each exit, and no one had left the base yet."

Wenren Lei said, "He knows so much about crystal core generator technology and knows that Yijie and I have been communicating. He must be someone you two know."

Huang Yiyun pondered for a moment: "We haven't found anyone unusual around us yet, but that's okay. Let's just check everyone; no one will escape."

If the other party is good at disguising themselves, they will naturally not let anyone notice anything amiss. A thorough investigation of their residence is the most direct method at present.

"I have another mission with me this time." Wenren Lei took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, turned her head to look at Huang Yijie, "I am here on behalf of District 11 to discuss cooperation on crystal core generator technology with you."

He took out a cooperation agreement that Wenren Yu had prepared in advance from his ring and handed it to Huang Yijie: "Inside is... uh, you can think of it as money anyway, take a look and see what you think."

Huang Yijie was drinking water when he heard Ren Lei finish speaking. He stared blankly for a moment before reaching out to take the document: "You made it this high-class?"

"That's called meticulousness," Wenren Lei thought to himself. His brother was the domineering CEO Wenren; how could he not be meticulous in his work?

After quickly flipping through the pages, Huang Yijie's eyes widened, and he muttered one of the sentences: "Including but not limited to a permanent and sufficient supply of materials... Am I that valuable?"

"You're being modest, aren't you?" Wenren Lei said. "Whether all of humanity can use electricity with peace of mind in the future depends entirely on your technology."

"I've signed it," Huang Yijie immediately stated.

Wenren Lei rested her chin on her hand and looked at him: "Think it over before you sign. Once the documents and ID card number are registered with the Alliance, it will be too late to regret it."

Huang Yijie got up, ran to the study to get a pen, and came back to scribble his name and ID card number on the dining table.

He placed the documents on the table, pushed them in front of Wenren Lei, and said, "What's there to regret? Your District 11 base commander is so sincere. If I hesitate any longer, it means I don't consider you a brother!"

"Okay, that's loyal enough." Wenren Lei immediately downed a glass of water.

Seeing this, Fu Yan prepared to add water for Wenren Lei, only to find that the kettle was empty when he picked it up.

"Oh, sorry, Brother Yan, I finished the water." Cheng Nianli said softly, then smiled apologetically.

Fu Yan smiled slightly: "It's nothing." He used his supernatural ability to fill the kettle with hot water and refill Wenren Lei's cup.

When Fu Yan put the kettle back on the table, he gently shook it. Cheng Nianli drank it rather quickly, as it was nearly two liters in size.

Fu Yan asked in a low voice, "Nianli, is your throat bothering you?"

Cheng Nianli covered his neck and swallowed hard: "My throat is a little itchy, I guess I've caught the flu from the base too."

Fu Yan nodded and softly called out, "Wanzi."

Maruko immediately rushed towards Cheng Nianli, leaped onto her lap with her short legs, climbed onto her shoulder, and activated her healing power.

At the other end of the table, Huang Yijie asked, "Weren't you part of the field team from Zone 1? How come you're now a representative from Zone 11?"

Wenren Lei paused in her action of picking up water spinach, then chuckled dryly twice: "With great power comes great responsibility. I'm running back and forth between the two places; do you understand how hard I work?"

Huang Yijie narrowed his eyes, full of suspicion: "Are you trying to fool me, buddy?"

Seeing that Wenren Lei was about to reveal his true colors again, everyone at the table buried their faces in their bowls, pretending to eat seriously, but actually listening intently.

Wenren Lei smiled and pursed her lips. In the future, they would inevitably have to deal with each other frequently due to their long-term cooperation on crystal core power generation technology, so there was no need to hide her identity anymore.

He took out a bottle of fine liquor from his spatial storage and poured it into a glass: "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. My ID card from District 1 is real, but I've joined District 11 now."

Wenren Lei pushed the glass full of wine in front of Huang Yijie: "Apologize to your good brother."

Huang Yijie gave a haughty snort, picked up his cup, and prepared to take a sip.

Wenren Lei pointed to the contract Huang Yijie had just signed and said, "The base commander of District 11 is my own brother."

Huang Yijie paused, slowly placing the wine glass he was about to drink back on the table: "What do you mean? Even your name is fake?!"

"I had no choice at the time." Wenren Lei pointed at Fu Yan, immediately shifting the blame, "It was all his bad idea."

Fu Yan was carefully removing fish bones from Wenren Lei's fish, and upon hearing this, he naturally took the blame: "I'm really sorry, Yijie, this was indeed my idea. The situation in the apocalypse is special, please understand."

After hearing his words, Huang Yijie felt it was inappropriate to continue arguing. The two of them had done Yuntu Base such a great favor; all they had to do was conceal their names, which really wasn't a big deal.

"No, it's nothing, Yan Bao, you don't need to be so polite."

Wenren Lei chuckled, beginning to regret giving Fu Yan that pseudonym. He said, "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Wenren Lei, and his name is Fu Yan. Stop calling him Yan Bao; it's too ambiguous."

Huang Yijie's expression was subtle: "From Yan Bao to Fu Yan... isn't the contrast too great?"

Wenren Lei scoffed, "Don't you think it's adorable?"

Huang Yijie glanced at Fu Yan, who was completely aloof, and asked, "What's so cute about him?"

Wenren Lei raised her glass and clinked it against Huang Yijie's: "Anyway, let's put an end to the fake name issue, okay?"

"Okay." Huang Yijie picked up the glass of baijiu and drank it down in one gulp, then coughed violently the next second.

Wenren Lei wanted to laugh at him, but Huang Yijie was coughing so badly that he buried his head under the table and his face turned bright red.

Wenren Lei frowned: "I forgot, you can't drink alcohol because you have a cold."

Huang Yijie calmed down a bit and waved his hand: "It's okay, I was just craving some wine. I haven't had such a mellow sauce-flavored liquor in more than half a year."

Wenren Lei said, "I'll have Wanzi treat you later."
