Wenren Lei paused for a moment, then said, "Then let's have a pleasant collaboration."

Bai Yao extended her hand proactively: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Before parting, the two sides exchanged satellite phone communication frequencies, and Wenrenlei provided Bai Yao with an advance payment for a batch of supplies.

Bai Yao solemnly promised, "I will immediately arrange for people to find out Wenren Zong's whereabouts when I get back. Also, the first batch of crystal cores will be delivered tomorrow." She gave a series of coordinates, "This is the location of our base. If I betray you, you can come and wipe us out at any time."

"Okay, I've got it." Wenren Lei asked, "By the way, Sister Yaoyao, what's the name of your base?"

"Red Rose Survivors Base"

Wenren Lei silently repeated it twice, then nodded gently: "A good name."

Bai Yao stepped forward and hugged Wenren Lei, whispering in his ear, "I know you have better partners than us, but you chose Red Rose. Thank you for being willing to lend us a hand."

She took a few steps back, smiled, and waved, "I'm leaving now. Contact me later."

Peach, clutching a large bag of bread, waved vigorously, "Goodbye, Brother Wenren!"

After watching them leave, Wenren Lei turned and got back into her car.

A1-V is releasing a transparent conveyor belt, which is transporting tableware from the dining table to the kitchen.

There was no one in the kitchen, and the dishwasher was running automatically.

Wenren asked tearfully, "Where is Brother Yan?"

A1-V said, "He smelled of cooking oil on him; he was taking a shower."

Wenren Lei chuckled: "As expected, she's still a germaphobe."

He took a quick shower in the guest room bathroom, then went to the living room and slumped onto the sofa, muttering, "Area 11..."

If Wenren Yu were in Qinggang and knew that Weicheng was experiencing a zombie horde, she might think she was already dead and choose to join Area 11, which is not impossible.

"Oh my!"

"Master, I'm here."

"Retrieve relevant information from Area 11."

A1-V was silent for a moment, then said, "I was beaten up as a hacker."

Wenren Lei gasped, "I told you you're an AI-generated idiot. I asked you to look up information, why did you block their internal network?"

A1-V humbly replied, "Yes, Master. I will retrieve the publicly available basic information for you."

After a while, A1-V said, "The following information has been found for you."

The Suzaku Base, established two months ago, is located 421 kilometers east of Qinggang City.

Because of its well-regulated management, emphasis on survivors' human rights, and formal system, the base was incorporated into the government a month ago and designated as District 11.

It was the first privately-built base to be officially incorporated into the government, and currently has a population of around 1,500.

……

After a twenty-second silence, Wenren Lei sat up straight: "That's it?"

"That's all."

"Who is the base commander?"

"Need to hack in..."

Wenren Lei immediately interrupted, "Stop, stop! Don't hack anymore, or you'll get beaten to death as a hacker."

The information was too superficial and not very useful, so Wenrenlei decided to wait patiently for news from Bai Yao.

As darkness fell outside, Wenrenlei slowly walked up to the second floor, lowered the screen, played a movie on the projector, and then nestled in a recliner to drink juice.

It didn't snow tonight, and Wenrenlei ordered, "Open the roof."

Upon hearing this, A1-V slowly retracted the roof and walls, gradually transforming the second floor into a large open-air platform.

The city was pitch black, with no streetlights turning on on time anymore. It was so quiet that there was no sign of human life. The terrace, with its warm yellow light, looked unusually cozy in this dead city.

Wenren Lei lay down on her back, staring blankly at the night sky.

The background noise in the movie was low, which had a hypnotic effect, and Wenrenlei quickly became drowsy.

Maruko ran up the stairs with a clattering sound, then hopped and skipped into Wenren Lei's arms, rolling around in her arms.

Wenren Lei was startled. After recognizing Wanzi, she stroked its soft fur and sighed, "Little dog, you must be happy without any worries."

Maruko let out a "woof" and rubbed against Wenren Lei's palm.

"You know, if I hadn't asked Yan Ge out on the day the apocalypse came, and had stayed home with my brother instead, would Yan Ge not have turned into a zombie, and would my brother not have disappeared?"

A deep, warm voice rang out: "It seems my darling has grown up and is hiding so many secrets."

Wenren Lei looked up and saw Fu Yan wearing a bathrobe on the terrace.

However, zombies are not afraid of the cold, so Wenrenlei was not in a hurry to urge him to put on more clothes.

Fu Yan lay down on Wenren Lei's recliner, his chest muscles, exposed at his collar, undulated slightly with his movements, exuding a powerful aura.

Wenren Lei took the opportunity to roll over and lie on top of him, secretly pinching his chest muscles with her hand: "You were supposed to go to work that day."

Fu Yan let him take advantage of him, saying, "Even if I'm at the company, I'll find a way to see you."

Wenren Lei couldn't refute it; this was something Fu Yan would definitely do.

"If I turn into a zombie on the road, without your protection, I'm afraid I'll be killed by other survivors..."

Wenren Lei reached out and pinched his mouth shut: "Shut up, I can already picture it in my mind, apologize."

"I'm sorry, I made you sad."

"Who said I'm sad?"

"Okay, you're not sad."

Wenren Lei pursed her lips: "Fine, I'm just heartbroken. Brother Yan, I must die before you. I can't accept you leaving me."

Fu Yan nuzzled his chin against the top of his head and whispered, "Okay."

Wenren Lei suddenly raised her head, looked into Fu Yan's eyes, and asked, "On the day the virus broke out, you said you'd liked me for many years. What did you mean?"

Fu Yan rested one hand behind his head, looking down at Wenren Lei: "The literal meaning."

Wenren Lei grabbed his collar and shook him, relentlessly pressing him for details: "Tell me more."

Fu Yan wasn't annoyed by his shaking: "When you were 13, in the first year of junior high, you missed the bell because you were playing basketball, and in your haste you ran to the wrong teaching building and rushed to the outside of the senior high classroom."

My seat was the same as yours, next to the window on the other side of the corridor. You pulled open the sliding window, climbed over, and jumped right into my arms.

That was the first time we met.

Fu Yan pinched Wenren Lei's cheek: "You had the same expression back then, completely bewildered, and whispered to me why I was sitting in your seat."

Then you realized you were in the wrong classroom, blushed, smiled at me, and then hurriedly climbed out the window and ran away.

Fu Yan savored the memory and slowly said, "So cute."

Wenren Lei's cheeks flushed red: "I remember your whole class was laughing at me, such an embarrassing dark history, and you like me because of that..."

Fu Yan said gently, "I don't think it's a dark history. During the boring and depressing high school years, a dazzling little sun broke into my arms. I've remembered that light for six whole years."

Wenrenlei was unaware that Fu Yan suffered from severe anxiety disorder during high school and relied on sleeping pills to fall asleep every day.

The unexpected tears from Wenren allowed Fu Yan to sleep soundly that night without taking any medicine.

Wenren Lei buried her face in Fu Yan's arms and muttered, "What kind of little sun are you? All you do is spout cheesy things."

Wenren Lei heard Fu Yan chuckle softly above his head, and then heard Fu Yan say, "You're nineteen now, so I've liked you for six years."

Wenren tearfully said, "But I've only liked you for a year..."

"There's still a long time ahead," Fu Yan said. "Lei Lei, look up."
