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

Maruko jumped onto Wenren Yu's shoulder, sat down majestically, and gently placed its two front paws on the back of his neck.

A green light slowly spread out, and Wenren Yu's tightly furrowed brows indeed relaxed.

Wenren Lei breathed a sigh of relief: "See, if you had told me from the beginning, my headache would have been relieved much sooner."

"Thank you, Xiao Lei." Wenren Yu raised her hand and patted Wanzi's colorful puppy head. "Thank you, Wanzi too."

Maruko let out an excited "woof" and stuck out her tongue to lick Wenren Yu's chin.

"Thank you" is a compliment, so Wenren Lei pursed her lips and chuckled to herself, waving her hand and saying, "You don't need to be so polite with me."

With two buzzes, Wenren Yu's satellite phone vibrated. He glanced at the caller ID; it was from the base command.

"Base Commander, Chief Gu has returned after completing his mission."

"understood."

Wenren Yu hung up the phone, stood up, and put the meatball on her shoulder: "I'm going back to headquarters to handle some work."

Wenren Lei immediately asked, "Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"

Wenren Yu nodded: "Go back."

"Then go ahead." Wenren Lei waved her hand.

Wenren Yu hurriedly left the laboratory.

Fu Yan looked at Wenren Lei, whose expression was grave, and asked, "Lei Lei, what's wrong?"

Wenren Lei looked in the direction of the laboratory door: "He left in a hurry."

Fu Yan smiled. He had been friends with Wenren Yu for many years and knew her quite well. Her hasty departure was likely due to her concern for Gu Zhengming.

However, if he said this directly, Wenren Lei would definitely be jealous. Fu Yan said, "That group of soil experts is very important."

"Alright." Wenren Lei slowly turned her head. "Old Wen, when are we going to eat the crystal cores?"

Wen Chi carefully stored the brothers' blood samples: "Soon, why are you in more of a hurry than I am?"

Wenren Lei was a little nervous and subconsciously rubbed her hands together: "I want to know if you can recover some of your memories after your brain is repaired."

Wen Chi conjured the Corpse King Crystal Core out of thin air and held it in his palm: "Then I'll give you a performance of a Corpse King eating a Corpse King Crystal Core."

Wenren Lei gave a disdainful, awkward laugh before noticing that Wen Chi had a flashy obsidian earring on his ear.

When Fu Yan came to allocate space to Wen Chi, Wen Chi had already prepared his own carefully selected small ornaments.

"How could you even think of hiding the space inside an earring?" Wenren Lei said.

Wen Chi revealed a mysterious smile: "Don't you think this looks a lot like the Monkey King pulling his golden cudgel out of his ear?"

Wenren Lei: ! !

"You fooled me. You can do that too." He reached out and tugged at Fu Yan's arm. "I want some too! I want some too! I want some too!"

Fu Yan chuckled: "Okay."

Wen Chi exclaimed alarmingly, "That means getting piercings in your ears!"

Wenren stopped crying. Although Fu Yan bore all the pain, she still felt a little reluctant to have a hole pierced in her ear.

She raised her hand and shook the ring on her finger: "Never mind then, the ring is pretty cool, isn't it?"

"So handsome, super handsome." Wen Chi nodded seriously.

Wenren Lei cleared her throat: "Hurry up and eat the crystal core, we'll see."

Wen Chi blinked at Wenren Lei, then took out strawberry jam and a plate from his space, placed the crystal core on the plate, and slowly spread strawberry jam on the crystal core.

Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow. He understood where Wen Chi had hidden all the delicious food. In Wen Chi's hands, this space was practically a mobile kitchen.

The fist-sized crystal core was gradually devoured.

Wenren Lei peeked out and whispered, "How are you feeling?"

Wen Chi was laughing at first, but suddenly frowned, grabbed his head with both hands and scratched his scalp incessantly: "Damn, it's so itchy, it feels like my brain is growing."

Wenren Lei said, "Stop fooling around, be serious."

Wen Chi's voice trembled from the itch: "I'm not making a fuss, it really itches."

After saying that, he scratched his scalp even more vigorously.

"Oh no, he's really starting to get smarter." Wenren Lei reached out and poked Fu Yan. "Brother Yan, check on him quickly, don't let him scratch his scalp raw."

Fu Yan stepped forward, grabbed Wen Chi's wrists with one hand, and used his other hand to activate his healing ability, placing it over Wen Chi's head.

As Wen Chi's pained expression gradually subsided, Wenren Lei asked softly, "Old Wen, are you feeling better?"

Wen Chi lowered his head and remained still for a moment before saying, "It seems to have grown. Why don't you try adding some water to my head?"

Wenren Lei waved her hand: "No need. If you feel it growing, then it has really grown. The crystal core does have this effect."

Wen Chi shook his head: "It feels quite comfortable."

Wenren Lei asked expectantly, "Did you remember anything?"

Wen Chi stared blankly, leaning back in his chair and trying to recall. After a long while, he frowned and said, "There are only some fragmented pieces, but the images are too blurry for me to describe."

Wenren Lei swallowed hard: "Is there... anything about my parents?"

Wen Chi looked into Wenren Lei's eyes: "I'm sorry, I don't remember."

Fu Yan gently comforted Wenren Lei, "It's normal that you can't remember things for the time being, since your brain has just been repaired."

Wenren Lei paused for a moment, then lowered her head and blinked: "It's alright, Lao Wen. Repairing the brain is the most important thing; restoring memories is just a side effect."

Wen Chi's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word.

Seeing the fleeting look of disappointment in Wenren Lei's eyes, he felt a pang of sadness.

Wenren Lei seemed to read Wen Chi's mind, and patted him on the shoulder generously: "It's really nothing. You're also a very important member of my family. Now that you've fully recovered, I'm just as happy."

Wen Chi pursed his lips and said, "Uncle will definitely remember."

Wenren Lei gently shook her head: "Just let things take their course, don't force yourself. The research institute is our main focus, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

He stood up and walked outside: "Come on, let's go eat roast suckling pig to celebrate your recovery."

Wen Chi's eyes lit up, and he caught up with Wenren Lei: "How many did you kill?"

Wenren Lei said, "Kill them now, kill as many as you want to eat."

Wen Chi tentatively asked, "Twenty-six?"

"I'm begging you," Wenren Lei said expressionlessly, "Even a litter of pigs only has fourteen or fifteen offspring."

Wen Chi looked regretful: "The pig is too weak."

Wenren Lei cried out helplessly, "It's because you're too greedy!!"

……

From the moment Huang Yijie joined District 11, the base began preparing for the cabling project and power supply for the entire base.

Wenren Yu convened several base meetings to discuss whether to install power lines via overhead lines or underground lines.

After discussion, everyone reached a consensus that there are enough fire elemental ability users in District 11. In the future, a crystal core heating system will also be built. Maintaining the ground temperature is easier than maintaining the air temperature. The power lines will be underground and less likely to be damaged by external forces.

Thus, the plan to run the power lines underground was finalized.

During the meeting, the participants also discussed the possibility of pre-burying heating pipes during the project, otherwise they would have to dig up the ground again.

The project is massive, but power supply to the base is urgently needed.

All the earth elementalists in the base were busy, even Fu Yan was dragged to be a groundhog.
