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

The base wasn't large, but they were quite meticulous. They checked Wenren Lei and Fu Yan from head to toe several times, not even missing the meatballs.

The blond-haired man softened his attitude towards Wenrenlei, and the burly man didn't dare to speak loudly, asking humbly, "These little dog's eyes..."

Wen Renlei sighed, "It's had conjunctivitis since it was a baby, what a miserable life."

Maruko's ears drooped, and she whimpered softly, "Woof..."

Wenren Lei said regretfully, "If the base doesn't allow it, let's leave."

The blond-haired man immediately said heartily, "No problem, no problem! Our shelter treats animals the best!" He turned around strutting around, stomped his foot, and sat down at the registration table. "Come on, gentlemen, I'll register you myself!"

"Okay." Wenren Lei walked to the table and said, "My name is Fu Yunyi, Yunyi meaning righteousness that reaches the heavens."

"Great name!" The blond-haired man quickly wrote down a few ugly characters and added "Grade B Water Element" after the name.

Wenren Lei pointed at Fu Yan and said, "His surname is Yan, and his name is Yan Bao, the 'Bao' in 'treasure.' He doesn't have any special abilities."

Fu Yan looked at Wenren Lei and raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm?" The blond-haired man looked at the tall, cold-looking man with suspicion.

Fu Yan paused for a second. When he was a silly zombie, Wenren Lei had a lot of leverage over him. He'd better just suffer it.

He nodded helplessly: "Yes, my name is Yan Bao."

Wenren Lei tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth and maintain her aloof persona.

After writing the name down, the blond-haired man looked up and pointed at Wanzi: "Even puppies need to be registered. Brother, tell me the name."

Then Wenren Lei got excited and cleared his throat: "Listen carefully, its name is: Emperor's War Pet - Shocking the Pinnacle of the Divine Realm - Light of the Apocalypse - Holy Dog of Healing the World - Void Rift Tearer - Dark Night Piercing Drill - Blazing Sky Divine Mastiff - Ultimate Cutest - Maruko."

Maruko stared with her small, upturned eyes and let out a loud, drawn-out howl.

Yellow Hair: ...

burly man: …………

Fu Yan, having regained his composure, stepped in to defuse the situation: "Just call it 'meatball'."

"Oh... okay..." The blond-haired man snapped out of his daze and wrote the word "Maruko" on the registration form.

After the registration was completed, Huang Mao personally led the two into the base and arranged accommodations for them.

The neighborhood was relatively clean, and many residents were clearing snow from the roads with tools.

The blond-haired man made a handshake in the air and said, "Our base is short-handed, so everyone has to do two jobs. However, those with superpowers don't have to do odd jobs; they mainly lead teams to search for supplies outside. There's also a strict rule: everyone has to hand in one crystal core per week, or they'll be expelled."

Wenren Lei and Fu Yan exchanged a glance and asked, "Aren't crystal cores pretty useless?"

The blond-haired man vaguely replied, "Our base has its own methods."

Wenren Lei pressed, "What is it used for?"

"I don't know either, my older brother is in charge of these things." The blond-haired man said kindly, "But Yunyi, you are a water elemental ability user, so you don't have to hand over the crystal core. Just focus on supplying water."

Wenren Lei pointed at Fu Yan with her thumb: "What about Yan Bao?"

"Since he's your companion, you don't need to pay him any more attention. Don't go out to find supplies either; it's too dangerous. Go back to farming."

"Isn't the land polluted? Can you even eat what's grown there?"

At this point, Huang Mao said with some pride, "The base chief here is my older brother. He is an A3-level earth elementalist, and the soil we use is all produced by him."

"Impressive." Wenren Lei nodded. It seemed that the wall was built by Huang Mao's older brother, and his superpower level was not low.

The blond-haired man patted his chest and continued to make fist circles in the air: "My name is Huang Yijie. If you need anything at the base, just say my name, and I guarantee no one will give you trouble. It's your first day here, so I'll have someone deliver your daily supplies to your rooms. Tomorrow you'll have to go to the warehouse to collect them yourself."

After spending time together, Wenren Lei discovered that Huang Yijie's personality was actually quite good. Her expression softened, and she said, "Alright, thank you, Brother Huang."

Huang Yijie casually tossed his bangs and said, "We're all buddies."

"Xiao Shen—! Xiao Shen—!"

An aged voice approached from afar.

Huang Yijie's face fell: "Oh no."

He had barely finished speaking when an elderly woman with faltering steps walked up to them.

Her face was wrapped in a thick scarf, and her cloudy eyes peeked out from the slits, staring intently at Fu Yan. She grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Xiao Shen? Is my Xiao Shen back?"

Fu Yan instinctively supported her, frowning without saying a word.

Wenren Lei raised one eyebrow: "Huh?"

Huang Yijie stepped forward and pulled her away, saying helplessly in a loud voice, "Grandma Li! How many times have I told you? Lu Shen has disappeared outside! He hasn't been found!"

Grandma Li seemed to be a little hard of hearing. She listened attentively to Huang Yijie's words, then turned and tugged at Fu Yan's sleeve: "Yes, my little Shen is back." She took out half a hardened dry bread from her pocket and shakily stuffed it into Fu Yan's hand, "You've gotten so thin from being out there. Take this and have something to eat."

Fu Yan paused for a moment, then extended his hand and said, "Thank you."

"Silly boy! Don't be so polite with your grandma!"

Wenren Lei quietly looked at the old woman, lost in thought.

Huang Yijie stamped his foot in frustration: "You're pretending to be deaf again! If you keep doing this, I'm not going to pay for your weekly crystal cores anymore!"

Grandma Li didn't like listening to his lectures, so she took Fu Yan's hand and said, "Come home with Grandma."

"Hey!" Huang Yijie reached out to stop him.

Wenren Lei said, "Forget it, aren't we supposed to be arranging accommodations? Let's stay at her place."

Huang Yijie hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's fine too. Grandma Li's grandson is about the same size as Yan Bao. She's getting old and her mind isn't clear, so please don't mind."

"fine."

Just then, someone shouted from afar, "Brother Huang! The boss is looking for you!"

Huang Yijie turned around and responded, then turned back to Wenren Lei and said, "Then you should go with Grandma Li."

"Okay." Wenren Lei nodded.

Huang Yijie tossed his bowl-cut bangs, stomped his foot, and walked away.

Grandma Li, hunched over, pulled Fu Yan a few steps, then turned back and stood in front of Wenren Lei, scrutinizing her closely: "Xiao Shen, is this the granddaughter-in-law you found for Grandma outside?"

Fu Yan looked at Wenren Lei and smiled: "Yes."

The old lady suddenly turned around and slapped Fu Yan on the back: "You had a wife and you didn't say so earlier!" She snatched the half-cake from Fu Yan's hand, broke it in half again, stuffed it into Wenren Lei's hand, and said with a face full of satisfaction, "This child is really handsome."

Wenren Lei looked at Grandma Li with a dazed expression and said dryly, "Thank you, Grandma, but I'm not hungry..."

"I'm not hungry, I'll save it for later." Grandma Li, with Fu Yan in her left hand and Wenrenlei in her right, walked slowly into the apartment building. "A man needs to know how to cherish his wife so that they can live a peaceful and comfortable life."

Fu Yan smiled and said, "He's very good at taking care of me."

Wenren Lei glanced at Fu Yan and said, "You'd better mean real pain when you talk about it."

Grandma Li has difficulty walking, so she was assigned a small two-bedroom apartment on the first floor.

She led the two into the house, then turned around and took Heiwanzi off Fu Yan's shoulder, laughing as she said, "This little dog is so dirty. Grandma will save up some water to give you a good bath."

"Woof~"

Wenren Lei looked around the room. The space was not large, but Grandma had kept it clean and tidy. There were traces of dust swept away by a broom on the floor, probably because there was too little water and she couldn't bear to use it to mop the floor.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Wenren Lei, who was closest to the entrance, opened the door.

A girl of about seventeen or eighteen stood at the door and handed over a bag: "Your and Yan Bao's rations for today, one person from your family will come to Building One to collect them tomorrow."

Wenren Lei took the plastic bag and opened it. Inside were only two pieces of dried noodles and two bottles of water. He asked, "Is this enough for two people?"
