The helicopter’s cargo door opened, and a group of people walked out in surprise.

“This is the military base! It looks so secure!”

“Are we going to live here from now on?”

“Doesn’t seem likely, I just heard Brother Wang say that the urban area of Wuyang City next door is very dangerous! However, we didn’t come from that direction, so we didn’t see any of those Giant Zombies…”

“Sigh, it would be nice to live here…”

“…”

The crowd was whispering among themselves.

Xu Xiaojun drove up in a military vehicle, ready to transport the plane to the hangar. Nie Siyan got out from the co-driver’s seat.

“Brother Wang!”

She hurriedly greeted Wang Tao and then curiously looked at the people around, especially noticing Wang Tao leading a beautiful woman by the hand; she instantly grasped the identities of these individuals.

“Hmm.”

Wang Tao nodded, then turned to explain to Wei Zhenguo and his companions.

“This is Xu Xiaojun, Nie Siyan. They have been my companions for some time now…”

“Hello!”

“Hello, hello!”

They all greeted each other enthusiastically, and then Nie Siyan led everyone into the base.

Ding Yuqin and the others felt slightly uneasy, but as they felt the warmth from Wang Tao’s large hand, they slowly relaxed.

Wang Tao observed Li Qiuyu, who possibly had come to accept the fact that Jiang Shixue was no longer there, didn’t seem too grief-stricken. Of course, feelings of sadness may not always show on one’s face; they could also be hidden inside one’s heart.

Everyone arrived at the command center, and Nie Siyan led them to assign rooms.

Wang Tao approached Li Qiuyu.

“Come with me; I have something to discuss with you alone.”

“…”

Li Qiuyu blushed, her thoughts taking a slight turn, but she obediently followed Wang Tao to a room door.

Wang Tao knocked on the door, and after a moment, Yang Changhong opened it. She glanced at Li Qiuyu behind Wang Tao and then gave Wang Tao an OK sign.

Wang Tao nodded, then said to Li Qiuyu:

“Come in and sit for a bit.”

“Oh.”

Li Qiuyu walked in nervously, looking down.

The room was simple and uncluttered, without anything superfluous, but it was large. It had a living room, bedroom, and bathroom, and there was a very handsome military dog wagging its tail. R̃Áɴo͍ᛒÊŝ

Wang Tao summoned Lightning and motioned to Li Qiuyu that it was gentle and she could pet it however she liked.

Then he went to the bedroom, where he saw Jiang Shixue with her head down, checking an inventory list.

Wang Tao had previously asked Yang Changhong to find an excuse to keep Jiang Shixue confined to the room, and clearly, this was the method Yang Changhong had come up with.

Jiang Shixue was, in reality, somewhat of an academic slacker—not for lack of intelligence, but rather due to a lack of interest in studying, especially detesting anything to do with mathematics.

Moreover, Yang Changhong had tampered with the supply list. She had been calculating for a long time, unable to make it tally. It was giving her a headache.

If it weren’t for Yang Changhong telling her that it was an important list Wang Tao urgently needed and asking her to please make sure to finish it, Jiang Shixue would never have agreed to it.

Jiang Shixue heard the door open but paid it no attention, still focusing intently on her work. However, she couldn’t shake off a feeling of restlessness that day…

Feeling someone approaching, Jiang Shixue looked up with a yawn.

“Bro~”

She had heard the helicopter earlier, but since she and Yang Changhong were checking the list together, she hadn’t gone out.

“Hmm.”

Wang Tao nodded, then suddenly leaned in and whispered in her ear:

“I’ve prepared a little surprise for you…”

“Ah? For me?”

Jiang Shixue was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy—she hadn’t even seen the surprise and she was already excited.

“Of course! Come on, it’s in the living room.”

The moment Jiang Shixue stepped out of her room, she saw a figure crouching next to Lightning, stroking its head.

Jiang Shixue was instantly dumbfounded.

Even though it was just a back, the feeling of blood connection made Jiang Shixue know who she was!

Jiang Shixue immediately turned her head to look at Wang Tao, her eyes seeming to ask if she was dreaming.

Wang Tao gave a confirming look.

Jiang Shixue’s eyes suddenly turned red.

She took steps, one by one, towards Li Qiuyu, afraid that if she moved too quickly, the other person would disappear.

When Li Qiuyu felt someone approaching her, she then lifted her head, was taken aback, and then rubbed her eyes.

“Little Xue… I’ve dreamed of you again…”

Li Qiuyu reached out her hand instinctively, touching Jiang Shixue’s cheek.

But this time, her hand did not pass through Jiang Shixue, the figure before her did not crumble away, and even had a warmth to it.

“Mom!”

“…”

Whoosh!

Li Qiuyu suddenly stood up and embraced Jiang Shixue tightly, as if fearing she would disappear, and then she started to speak with a trembling voice:

“Little, Little Xue, is it really you… am I not dreaming?”

“Mom, it’s me. I didn’t die, Brother Wang saved me.”

Jiang Shixue said softly in Li Qiuyu’s arms.

Li Qiuyu quickly released Jiang Shixue, nervously checking her over, ensuring that there were no arms or legs missing, then she finally looked towards Wang Tao who was next to them:

“Wang Tao, you, you tricked me…”

Li Qiuyu was simultaneously thrilled and reproachful.

She wasn’t foolish; she understood now that Wang Tao was just teasing her! The massive ups and downs of the past two days… she had been utterly in Wang Tao’s grip, it was fortunate she didn’t have a heart condition!

“Haha, you guys take your time to chat.”

Wang Tao left contentedly.

He brought Yang Changhong and Lightning over to Ding Yuqin and the others.

“Hello, my name is Yang Changhong.”

On the way over, Wang Tao had briefly mentioned Ding Yuqin and the others to Yang Changhong. Yang Changhong wasn’t surprised to hear about Wang Tao having two women; although she felt slightly uncomfortable at first, the thought that she was the one who came later… instantly made her feel better.

“Hello!”

Ding Yuqin and Han Rui both shook hands with Yang Changhong.

The two women cast Wang Tao slightly reproachful looks, but they sensibly didn’t say anything. They planned to have a good talk with Wang Tao that evening.

Wang Tao also introduced Lightning to them. The large wolf-dog immediately endeared itself to Ding Yuqin and the others.

Then Wang Tao told them about Jiang Shixue’s situation.

“Little Xue is still alive? That’s wonderful!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was happy for Li Qiuyu.

Ding Yuqin gave Wang Tao a glare.

“Did you intentionally not tell Sister Qiu Yu?”

Wang Tao laughed and pinched Ding Yuqin’s cheek, then said to her:

“Sister-in-law, are you out of practice? No problems making a simple lunch, right?”

“Of course!”

Wang Tao asked Ding Yuqin to lead the others in preparing lunch, while he called Han Rui, He Jijun, and the others to discuss the so-called “method of communication” that Han Rui had mentioned before.
