"It must have been that time in the lab when I poked your crystal core a few times," Ji Chaoxi said earnestly.

She looked at Pei Yufeng, who had his arm resting on his face, and poked him: "Pei Yufeng, are you even listening to me? You're not allowed to have any more wild thoughts."

Pei Yufeng remained silent, his exposed ears turning bright red.

Just thinking about what she had just dreamed about, and how Ji Chaoxi could feel it all...

Seeing that Pei Yufeng remained silent, Ji Chaoxi grew anxious: "Pei Yufeng!"

Pei Yufeng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I understand."

He simply chooses not to think about it.

But how can he control his dreams?

Pei Yufeng unconsciously recalled the scene from his dream, the temperature of her skin, and her...

Pei Yufeng's face and neck turned red.

Ji Chaoxi was almost brought to tears by Pei Yufeng's words: "You're thinking about it again!"

Pei Yufeng looked at her reddened eyes, struggled to look away, and stubbornly said, "I only think about it occasionally. Now that you don't let me think about it, I can't control myself anymore."

Before, he only did it a few times a day, but now that she's emphasized it, he does it dozens of times a day.

As a result, Pei Yufeng got beaten up by Ji Chaoxi again.

Zhang Jili, who was eating canned food outside, glanced at Pei Yufeng, who had been beaten up again, and felt a little sorry for him.

The team next door had been watching them from a short distance away. They were almost out of food, and they had no idea when they would be able to leave the desert.

"Boss, go get some food, we're starving."

The person addressed as "boss" looked troubled: "Will they give it to us?"

These people didn't look like people to mess with, especially the man sitting in the car.

"Boss, go ask that idiot sitting on the sand. He seems easy to talk to."

The eldest brother looked at Zhang Jili, who was huffing and puffing while eating, and hesitated before going over to him.

Zhang Jili, who was eating, suddenly felt his vision go dark for a moment, and he looked at the person in front of him with a blank expression.

The eldest brother gave him a dry smile: "Um, could we borrow some food? We'll pay you back later, okay?"

Looking at the several emaciated people opposite him, and then at the person standing in front of him, Zhang Jili felt a surge of responsibility.

"Take it!"

He simply gave him the few remaining compressed biscuits in his bag.

Seeing that he was still one pack short, he ran over to Shen Jiaxue next to him to borrow one: "Shen Jiaxue, can you lend me a pack of compressed biscuits?"

Shen Jiaxue's lips twitched, and she tossed him a bag of cookies.

Zhang Jili handed the bag to his eldest brother, who looked at him encouragingly: "Even in the desert, you must eat well."

The eldest brother looked at him with a complicated expression, not out of gratitude, but because he wondered if this guy had something wrong with his head.

After all, in the apocalypse, to maintain such a personality means either that one has been well protected or that one has some intellectual problems.

"Thanks, bro."

The boss thanked him and left. He returned to the team and distributed the compressed biscuits to his teammates.

While eating compressed biscuits, he couldn't help but look up at Zhang Jili, who flashed him a smile that revealed eight teeth.

The eldest brother realized that the man really was a fool.

Below the mountains lies an abandoned prison, on the other side of which flows a very murky river, and the prison walls are covered with barbed wire.

Yan Jiasui decided to set up a base here.

The building is too cramped, and with more people, each person has less space to move around.

"Rui Xin, you take the other ability users to find supplies. I need to make arrangements for the people in the base today." Yan Jia Sui looked a little tired.

Wen Ruixin noticed the dark circles under her eyes and said worriedly, "Sister Jia Sui, things at the base aren't urgent. You should rest for a while."

She hasn't slept a wink for the past few days.

Yan Jiasui smiled at her: "I know, I will get some rest, Ruixin, don't worry."

But Wen Ruixin knew that as soon as they stepped out of that door, Yan Jiasui would be busy again.

Making good use of these ordinary people is crucial.

In the afternoon, Yan Jiasui compiled a list of the skills that ordinary people in the base possessed. She planned to train them so that they could be responsible for internal affairs work in the future. Tasks such as sewing and caring for the wounded did not require supernatural abilities.

Yan Jiasui also discovered an elderly woman among the refugees who had previously worked as an engineer; perhaps she could be of help in the construction of the base.

Upon hearing Yan Jiasui's plan, the old engineer burst into tears: "I never thought that I would still be of use at my age."

After entering the apocalypse, work felt like something from a past life to her.

There wasn't much entertainment in the desert, but Zhang Jili was always cheerful and liked to tell corny jokes to the people around him.

He talked to Shen Jiaxue most often, but Shen Jiaxue found him particularly annoying.

Zhang Jili grabbed Shen Jiaxue's arm and cried, "I beg you, please let me say one last thing!"

Shen Jiaxue said impatiently, "Speak."

Zhang Jili sat down next to her and said seriously, "Do you know what two terracotta warriors say when they're flirting?"

Shen Jiaxue asked calmly, "What will they say?"

Zhang Jili, his face flushed red, stammered, "You little pottery rascal!"

After he finished speaking, he burst into laughter, and Shen Jiaxue rolled her eyes.

The people on the opposing team looked at him calmly.

Ji Chaoxi chuckled softly and continued wiping the crystal core in her hand.

She was in a good mood, but suddenly, she felt a sour smell in the air, like a jar of aged vinegar that had been sealed for ten years had been spilled, so sour that it made her teeth ache.

Ji Chaoxi subconsciously looked at the person next to her. Pei Yufeng was leaning against the window, looking out the window with a cold expression.

Ji Chaoxi looked at his cold profile and burst out laughing.

"No way?"

Pei Yufeng's ears turned red, and he glared at her: "Don't laugh."

He discovered that Ji Chaoxi had a very low threshold for laughter; even a low-level joke like Zhang Jili's could make her laugh.

Pei Yufeng didn't say much in the afternoon. He frowned and looked at the sand outside the window, as if he was deep in thought about something.

Just as Ji Chaoxi was dozing off, Pei Yufeng suddenly turned to look at her seriously and asked, "Can I buy a piece of land from you?"

There was a rare hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Ji Chaoxi didn't react immediately: "What place?"

Pei Yufeng pursed his lips: "Your unwavering devotion."

Ji Chaoxi: ...

The air fell into a deathly silence.

Ji Chaoxi's sleepiness was instantly dispelled.

The main problem was that the scene where Pei Yufeng told lame jokes was rather bizarre.

"Never mind if it's not funny."

Pei Yufeng's face turned bright red. He turned around abruptly and huddled in the corner of his seat, keeping a safe distance from Ji Chaoxi.

His lightning powers crackled and popped due to his emotional fluctuations.

Ji Chaoxi finally realized what was happening and quickly tried to comfort him, "It's funny, I was just stunned."

She tugged at Pei Yufeng, who was buried in his seat, his ears burning red.

"That's really funny, much funnier than what Zhang Jili said!"

Ji Chaoxi suppressed her laughter and said seriously, "You are the best at telling corny jokes I've ever met."

Pei Yufeng knew Ji Chaoxi was laughing at her, and he would never tell her lame jokes again!

Thinking about his stupidity just now, Pei Yufeng wished he could be electrocuted.

Just as he was falling into despair, suddenly, a warm touch touched his cheek, very light and soft.

Pei Yufeng's shame, which had made him want to explode on the spot, vanished instantly, and the crackling electricity on his body also went out.

He lowered his eyes, silently took her hand, and squeezed her palm.
