Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Starved and Thin
Lian Jiyue also felt happy for Lu Hao, encountering his former teammates and being able to help them must have been a joyful thing. He too had many teammates, but unfortunately, they had all...
"You should also pay attention to the people around Lian Ze recently, according to Qiqi and the others, someone might have sneaked into the base,"
Lu Hao, sitting next to Lian Jiyue, listened as everyone else was tuned into a family discussion about the situation in H Province, so no one noticed what they were talking about.
Lian Jiyue was somewhat surprised. How did their information arrive so quickly?
However, thinking that they had returned with Qiqi, he realized that he probably heard something from Qiqi.
"I know, but the strange person Qiqi mentioned seems to have moved in next to my father, I don’t know what their intentions are,"
Lian Jiyue had been observing for the past few days, but those people just stayed quietly in their rooms and didn’t do anything odd.
"Still, be more vigilant. I suspect their target is Lian Ze, but why they would live next to your father, I don’t know,"
Lu Hao cautioned.
Lian Jiyue nodded. It seemed he needed to pay more attention over the next few days...
"You all have no idea, what H Province has turned into now. It’s all Dead City everywhere. It’s a good thing our car was sturdy, or I don’t know how many times we would have been flattened,"
Lu Guanhai went on and on, while Guo Yang and others listened intently. They used to be from H Province and couldn’t believe it had changed so much.
"Thinking back, H Province had such a large population, and now only a small base remains,"
Guo Yang sighed. This wasn’t a one-in-ten chance of survival. It was more like one in a thousand.
"We were there fighting zombies day and night, must have killed hundreds of thousands; it was dead exhausting,"
Lin Xiuyuan also said, and not sure why, but he felt truly relaxed only after returning to the villa at the S City base.
"Stop making me jealous. Next time you go, you have to take us. I’d even take a long leave like Aunt Lin to improve my strength,"
Liao Yifan said while stuffing his mouth with vegetables and meat.
"If Fanfan goes, I should go as well,"
Guo Yang raised his hand and said.
"Whenever you want to go, just go. We can handle Guo Yang’s shop in the meantime,"
Su Jin looked at these envious people and suddenly felt a bit guilty because of the secret of the space, they mostly kept travel within the family. If not for the space, they would likely always go out together.
"Little sister, you are so nice, I didn’t know businessmen could have holidays. This isn’t the Apocalypse; this is heaven,"
Guo Yang exaggerated.
"When you return, it’s heaven,"
Shi Jin said without raising his head as he ate.
This time the family went out, even Aunt Lin went with them, so they had been eating at the base’s cafeteria for two months straight, daily faced with steamed buns and porridge, occasionally having some cabbage and mutant animal meat for sale, but the taste was too different, and they still weren’t used to it.
"Eat as much as you want, we also gathered a lot of stuff this time. These days when we’re free, we can make food at home,"
Huang Yunxiang said as she looked at the hungry, thin group. Lin Cheng and the other men had returned from their trip looking much stronger, but Guo Yang and his group...
"Thank you, Auntie Huang. I’ll definitely come help cook when I get a holiday,"
Liao Yifan felt so happy he thought he might burst, having the family back was simply blissful.
Su Jin noticed that their bedroom seemed to have always been cleaned, untouched for over two months, it was still dust-free, which must have been managed by Auntie.
"Now are you satisfied? Can you rest easy at the base for a while?"
Lu Hao, holding Su Jin who had just showered, said.
"Yes, I’m satisfied."
Su Jin rubbed Lu Hao’s handsome, magnified face. The feeling of being back was different from being outside; it seemed that both her mind and body relaxed in the villa. It looked like she should stay at the base for a while, it might even be good for the twins.
"Xiao Jin, can this be our only pregnancy?"
Lu Hao suddenly said.
"Huh? Sure, but it’s not like I have the final say on getting pregnant."
Su Jin mumbled, honestly feeling it was a bit early to be pregnant now.
"Pregnancy is tough, and we already have two this time, that’s enough."
Lu Hao sighed deeply, heaven knows how hard it was for him to be with Su Jin every day yet not be able to fully ’indulge’.
And he had read many books about pregnancy and childbirth in the Space, some even mentioned how pregnancy really drains a woman’s vitality, so he had decided not to let Su Jin suffer any more.
"I wholeheartedly agree."
Su Jin said, surely no woman likes to be pregnant and give birth continuously, right?
...
In the S city base, the members of the Power Element training team noticed that their beautiful instructor seemed to be in a very good mood these past two days, treating them much more gently, and even the usual daily "torture session" was gone.
The so-called daily torture involved them being picked by Instructor Liao for a one-on-one combat when they were not out on duty.
Initially, everyone just went through the motions because they knew they couldn’t win against Instructor Liao, but gradually they realized that those who didn’t put their full effort into the fight were beaten up even worse by the instructor.
So, slowly, what was initially a cordial training session became in their eyes a devilish training; being chosen meant they had to be fully alert when fighting against Instructor Liao, or they would definitely be carried into the Base Hospital.
But these last two days, why had their devilish training suddenly stopped? What a huge relief!
"I heard that the Heart Talk Team is finally all back, so the instructor’s mood has improved too,"
someone at the base cafeteria’s dining table said.
"Very likely, I also heard that Su Jin and the others are back. Our daily torture sessions seem to have started when the Heart Talk Team left,"
a teammate said with a pained expression.
Jiang Yixiao ate her meal while eavesdropping on the trainees’ gossip. The Heart Talk Team was back? So that meant Xiuyuan was back too?
She slowly mashed the rice grains in her bowl with her chopsticks, feeling conflicted again.
Should she discuss that matter with Xiuyuan? It had been so long, and it seemed he really hadn’t let her secret slip; he might actually be a trustworthy person.
So, Xiuyuan received his first call at the villa, said to be for him.
"Jiang Yixiao? How did you get our home phone number?"
Xiuyuan took the phone from a teasingly smiling Su Jin. He didn’t even know their home phone number, so how did that woman know it?
