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

"I didn't want to bother you, but you're the only person I know here," 886 said, choking back tears.

Wenren Lei took a deep breath, half-squatted down, and placed her hand on 886's shoulder: "What's your name?"

"My name is Xu Shenxing."

Wenren Lei patted him on the shoulder: "Xu Shenxing, a brave man. I'll tell you the truth, your father was murdered in the brewery."

Xu Shenxing froze on the spot, blinking rapidly to hold back his tears: "I...I knew it all along."

Wenren tearfully said, "Good child. Your father's body has been brought back for you by 1001 and is with 1001 now."

"Oh, then, I'll go find him." Xu Shenxing said expressionlessly, bowing deeply to Wenren Lei. "Thank you, I'll be going now."

Wenren Lei nodded: "Go."

Xu Shenxing turned and took two steps, then turned back and asked, "What's your name?"

"Tears of a Hearer".

"Brother Wenren, I want to become someone like you, someone amazing, when I grow up."

Okay, keep it up.

Xu Shenxing took a few more steps, then finally couldn't hold back anymore. He raised his arm, wiped his face violently, and ran away crying.

Wenren Yu reached out and helped Wenren Lei up: "Area 11 will take good care of him."

The dumpling was in Wenren Lei's palm, and the whole dog was suspended in the air, its four short legs slowly paddling in the air, as if it were swimming.

Wenren Lei rubbed its little nose with her fingertips: "You're the most heartless one."

Wenren Yu crossed her arms and looked at the little guy, saying, "I've been missing you so much I can't eat. Haven't you noticed how thin it's gotten?"

Maruko immediately started whimpering pitifully.

Wenren Lei lifted the solid little dog in one hand: "It's clearly gotten fat. Has it been taking good care of you?"

Wenren Yu said, "I rarely have headaches now."

"That's good." Wenren Lei pinched Wanzi's round belly. "You didn't eat any free rice."

"Awoo~" Maruko stuck out her tongue and licked Wenrenlei's wrist.

Wenren Lei found a rock, sat down, and placed the meatball on her lap: "When are we going to District 6?"

Wenren Yu said, "Send a group of people to escort these trainees and babies back to District 11. The rest of you will depart tomorrow."

"Will you listen to me after you go?" Wenren Lei looked into Wenren Yu's eyes.

Wenren Yu half-squatted beside him: "What do you want me to hear?"

Wenren Lei said, "Stay in the command tent and don't rush to the front lines like you did today. I'll fulfill the kill quota your base commander needs for you."

Seeing Wenren Yu remain silent, Wenren Lei shook her shoulders and swung her arms, acting like a spoiled child: "If you don't listen to me! I'll kill myself! I don't want to live anymore!!"

Wenren Yu immediately replied, "Okay, okay, I will definitely listen to you."

Fu Yan brought over two cups of hot water, one for Wenren Lei and one for Wenren Yu, with some concentrated stabilizing agent added to them.

Wenren Lei took a sip of water guiltily: "You didn't see anything, did you?"

Fu Yan said, "Didn't you see? Someone's being affectionate?"

"How could that be?" Wenren Lei changed the subject. "Xu Shenxing contacted you?"

Fu Yan nodded slightly: "I let him see the body once and then cremated him."

Some snowflakes drifted down from the sky. Fu Yan took out a large umbrella from his spatial storage, opened it, and sheltered the three of them under the umbrella.

"There might be a fourth force within the alliance that also wants to deal with the research institute."

Wenren Lei raised her head and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Fu Yan said, "We already know that there is a mole in the research institute among the alliance's high-ranking officials. Liao Xingwei was punished by being sent to the archives room. A high-ranking official wouldn't be so bad at hiding case files."

Wenren Lei said, "Yes, Liao Xingwei himself said that when he wanted to look at the case file again the next day, he couldn't find it."

Fu Yan said, "There must have been someone secretly pushing things along, sending those missing files from the civilian population to Liao Xingwei's desk."

Wenren Lei said, "This person knows Liao Xingwei very well and is certain that he will investigate to the end. He must have been lurking in the Alliance for a long time."

After listening to their conversation, Wenren Yu said, "If you want to investigate this matter, you can ask Chief Liu of the 1st District for help."

"He's the only one with connections in the league," Wenren Lei said.

Wenren Yu stood up and said, "The snow is getting heavier, let's go back and rest. I'll patrol the camp one more time."

Wenren Lei vigorously ruffled Wanzi's fur and handed it to Wenren Yu: "You should also go back to the RV soon."

Back in the bedroom, Fu Yan placed Wenren Lei into the bathtub: "Are you ready? It's time to start the purification."

Wenren Lei reached out and pinched his cheek: "If I remember correctly, you'll be the one in pain later, right?"

Fu Yan seized the opportunity and said, "Then I'll go in too."

"You lecher." Wenren Lei leaned against the edge of the bathtub, making half a space for Fu Yan. "Come on."

Fu Yan quickly stripped off his clothes and bent down to pick up Wenren Lei.

Water splashed all over the floor from the bathtub, and Wenren Lei, clinging to Fu Yan's arm, exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing?!"

Fu Yan strode into the bathtub and sat down, placing Wenren Lei on his lap and hugging her tightly from behind. He said seriously, "This saves space."

Wenren Lei felt her backside was in danger and coldly said, "Oh, could you please not make me (prohibited from passing censorship)?"

Fu Yan whispered behind Wenren Lei's ear, "It won't listen to me."

……

After a long while, Wenren Lei, surrounded by the white light of her purifying power, gripped the edge of the bathtub and panted slightly: "Even in this much pain, you still can't forget about this. Sooner or later, you'll become an animal controlled by your lower body."

Fu Yan, enduring the pain of purification, had beads of sweat forming on his forehead: "Just think of it as comforting me. Okay, sweetheart?"

Wenren Lei's Adam's apple bobbed slowly: "Mm."

……

The team escorting the trainees back to District 11 assembled and set off early the next morning.

Wenren Lei stood with her hands on her hips on the second floor of the RV, watching the crowds moving around in the resettlement area, lost in thought.

"Little Jin Dou, being sentimental again." Gu Zhengming stood beside him, a thin wooden stick between his teeth. "Heat milk, your brother asked me to get it for you."

Wenren Lei took the cup and glanced at him: "Sector 6 hasn't been captured yet?"

Gu Zhengming said, "We've been fighting all night, and now is precisely the time when we're short-handed."

"Is it that hard to beat?" Wenren Lei asked.

Gu Zhengming said, "The entire base is full of superhumans who can increase their strength by consuming crystal cores, and they also have high-level zombies and mutated beasts to assist them. Our side relies on superhumans who advance through normal training, so it's naturally very difficult for us to fight."

Wenren Lei took a sip of milk and nodded gently.

"Are you worried about your brother?" Gu Zhengming asked.

"Never mind that."

Gu Zhengming stretched his limbs in the morning breeze: "If we encounter danger, even a weak S-rank like me will definitely take two blows for your brother."

Wenren Lei turned around, leaned against the railing, and looked at Gu Zhengming: "Why are you always sucking on this little wooden stick?"

Gu Zhengming chewed on the wooden stick: "Quit smoking, find something to satisfy your craving."
