Back at the orphanage, Shenhe was still feeling unwell and wanted to play around with Li Yuetong for a while, but Li Yuetong gently pushed his hand away and didn't respond to his words.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Go find Zhao Xinduo."

Shenhe looked down and stared into her eyes for a few seconds.

Seeing that her eyes were clear, neither she was speaking sarcastically out of spite nor waiting for him to force himself on her, I was a little surprised.

Aren't you jealous?

Li Yuetong snuggled closer to him, her voice languid, "So, being jealous will make me the only one left?"

"That's not possible," Shenhe said truthfully.

"Hmph, what am I jealous of? It only makes me feel bad, and it doesn't affect you at all."

She reached out and pushed against his chest, then shrank further into the blankets, leaving only her fluffy little head sticking out. "I can't have all the good things to myself, and I need to rest too. Go on."

She knows her own body well. After going out tonight, she feels energetic and her physical condition has improved significantly compared to before she set off.

Being with him will definitely have its advantages.

Seeing that she was sincere, Shenhe didn't act coy.

He did need to relieve some stress, and he also missed that soft little thing.

He bent down and tucked the blanket around her, then kissed her forehead. "When I come back, I'll bring you something nice."

Li Yuetong quickly burrowed her head further under the covers, leaving only her eyes showing, and shook her head vigorously.

"Don't bring any food! I'm so full right now, I can't eat anything! And I don't want to eat anything!"

"Heh." Shenhe chuckled softly. "Alright, don't come crying to me later. Just go to sleep. I'm leaving."

A flash of white light, and he had vanished from the room.

Before leaving, he subtly moved his fingertips and left a spatial mark on Li Yuetong.

On the map, the green dot representing her suddenly turned into a striking gold.

"Why!"

As soon as Li Yuetong called out, she was left alone in the room.

She puffed out her cheeks and muttered to herself, "This person didn't even say what they were bringing! Humph, whatever, I'm not looking forward to it, and I won't regret it!"

After muttering to herself, she rubbed her sore thighs, turned over, wrapped herself in the blanket, and slowly fell asleep.

……

The First People's Hospital of the city is located at the base.

It was past midnight, but the place was still bustling with activity, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

There was no laughter, only low sobbing, hurried and chaotic footsteps, and the dull thud of a corpse being dragged across the ground.

The yard, which was clean and tidy yesterday, is now unrecognizable.

Blackened bloodstains were everywhere at the base of the wall and in the open ground, and mangled limbs were scattered all over the place.

The corpses were laid out side by side on the ground, many of them bearing signs of burning and decay.

The survivors paired up and silently carried the bodies onto the trucks, heads bowed.

There were already more than twenty bodies piled up in the carriage, and this was not the first carriage tonight.

Zhao Xinduo and Zhao Guodong were also in the crowd.

Seeing the undeniable exhaustion on his daughter's face, Zhao Guodong felt a pang of heartache. He stopped what he was doing and tried to comfort her.

"Duoduo, go rest for a while. Dad can handle the rest."

"Dad, I'm not tired."

Zhao Xinduo agreed verbally, but the fatigue on her face was three parts genuine and seven parts fake.

After drinking the gene optimization fluid given to her by Brother Shen, she felt like she had inexhaustible energy and was incredibly strong. However, in order not to attract attention, she could only deliberately move quietly and pretend to be exhausted.

Not long after she and Xu Hongmei went downstairs during the day, they secretly ran back upstairs!

She came out covered in sweat, her clothes were damp, and she wanted to find out where Brother Shen was hiding.

She searched inside and out but couldn't find anyone, so she changed into dry clothes, hid in the room, and drank the medicine.

She never imagined the effect would be so powerful.

When she was moving the medicine box in the afternoon, she used the same strength as before, and as a result, when she lifted her hand, the whole box of medicine was thrown out, and the medicine bottles were scattered all over the ground.

She and Sister Xu were so frightened that they were stunned for a long time. Fortunately, Sister Xu didn't think much of it and just assumed that she hadn't held on to it.

At night, the base was first attacked by a swarm of palm-sized mutant mosquitoes.

Fortunately, the hospital had a lot of mugwort on hand. The doctors and nurses lit some thick smoke and worked very hard to drive away the nasty mosquitoes.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a group of strange zombies covered in green bumps appeared out of nowhere. When they were killed, they would explode, and the liquid they splattered could even corrode flesh.

Caught off guard, the base suffered heavy losses, losing nearly half its personnel overnight.

These things are beyond her control; all she wants to do right now is get back to her room and get some sleep.

After parting ways with her father, Zhao Xinduo walked towards her hospital room with a heavy heart.

Strange things have been happening more and more these past few days, and she can't help but worry that her brother Shen might be in danger outside.

But then I thought, Brother Shen is so amazing, he can come and go without a trace, he'll definitely be fine.

She had already asked the auntie at the entrance with her sweet smile, but there was no information about Brother Shen's name, figure, or appearance!

Having witnessed so many partings and deaths tonight, she missed him even more. In this apocalypse, no one knows when an accident will happen. She wanted to take advantage of her life to have a serious and brave relationship with Brother Shen.

When she reached the door of the ward, she looked around and, seeing that no one was in the corridor, took out her key and gently opened the door.

In this apocalyptic world, it's always good to be careful, no matter where you are.

Zhao Xinduo slipped into the house, and just as she locked the door behind her, before she could even catch her breath, her lower back suddenly tightened, and she fell directly into a warm embrace.

Her heart clenched with fear, and a cold sweat broke out all over her body. Just as she was about to call for help, she was turned around, and the exclamation that was about to come out was blocked back down.

The moment her lips were kissed, Zhao Xinduo's tears streamed down her face.

Her mind was a mess, and her first thought was that she was not good enough for Brother Shen. She subconsciously opened her mouth to bite him in retaliation, but the other party took advantage of her vulnerability.

Mad!

Only when a familiar scent entered her nostrils and her eyes, adjusted to the darkness, could vaguely make out the outline of the person kissing her did her tense body relax.

It was her beloved Brother Shen!

That stinky older brother!

Overwhelmed with emotion, she punched Shenhe's chest a few times, then closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

But she was too petite, and even with her head tilted back, she couldn't reach him. Shenhe also found bending over troublesome, so he simply supported her slender waist with both hands and easily lifted her up.

Zhao Xinduo's feet left the ground again...

They only separated slightly when they were both out of breath.

Zhao Xinduo was panting heavily, her eyes still red, and her tone was a little reproachful, "Brother Shen, when did you get here... Next time, please don't scare me like that, okay? You almost scared me to death!"

If someone else had barged in and treated her like this, she would have killed them with her life and then taken her own life.

Shenhe's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of gentleness, but the words he spoke were full of lies.

"Did I scare you? I'm sorry, Brother Shen just missed Duoduo so much that I couldn't help but want to hold you tightly in my arms as soon as I saw you."

Zhao Xinduo shuddered, goosebumps rising on her skin. Embarrassed, she quickly covered his mouth with her hand, her voice sickeningly sweet, "Brother Shen, please stop talking! Why are you being so glib now? It's embarrassing."

Shenhe didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and gently kissed away the tear stains on her face.

Each time, gently and carefully.

Zhao Xinduo could clearly feel that at this moment he was truly cherishing her like a treasure.

Her heart softened, and she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, gently resting her chin on his shoulder.

The ward fell silent, with only the soft, overlapping breaths of the two people remaining.

After a long while, Zhao Xinduo finally spoke softly, her voice tinged with shyness yet firm.

"Brother Shen, I want to be with you..."

Shenhe's arms around her waist slowly tightened, his palms burning hot, making Zhao Xinduo tremble slightly. "Duoduo, have you thought it through?"

"Hmm... Duoduo... I'm ready."

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Xinduo raised her head and met his gaze, her eyes shining like stars, and nodded earnestly.

Shenhe's heart fluttered as he looked at her alluring expression as she bit her lip, and he lowered his head to kiss her soft lips.

The ward fell completely silent.

Only the girl's occasional soft, shy voice remained, blending into the deep night.
