This time, Ge Aiyao openly took photos everywhere and smiled at Xu Ying.

“This lunchbox freezers are so convenient. I’ve already bought five portions in advance and am going to bring them back for my family to try.”

Xu Ying took a look. The two freezers had 20 lunchboxes, and they had all been bought by the tenants. If Ge Aiyao came late, there would probably be no one left.

As for He Fan, who had robbed the most, his girlfriend, Du Jingrou, rolled her eyes at him and explained, “He eats as much as three ordinary people in a day. I apologize to everyone first. I have a pig like him at home, so I can’t do anything about it.”

These words made everyone laugh out loud. It was really rare to have such a harmonious atmosphere in the apocalypse.

Wei Mingyue rubbed her eyes as she walked out. When she saw the changed living room, her jaw dropped. “Sister Ying, you’ll lessen my brother’s dedication to the outside world. He’ll feel that it’s more comfortable to lie at home.”

Xu Ying pinched her cheek. “I think you don’t want to go to school. When is your brother coming back?”

“My brother came back last night, and he’s lying down in the recovery pod,” Wei Mingyue said.

Xu Ying was a little worried and a little unhappy. Why didn’t he say anything when he came back last night? She felt a little awkward, but she still asked, “Is the injury serious?”

Wei Mingyue sighed. “How should I put it? He’s used to being injured. I was worried at first. However, after so many times, I don’t know what kind of feelings I should have. This time, his abdomen was pierced and he was sent back unconscious.”

Xu Ying’s heart skipped a beat, but she was no longer angry. He didn’t have time to tell her about his injuries.

“I’m going to see him later. Sister Ying, are you coming with me?”

Xu Ying didn’t even think about it. “I’m coming. I can bring him some new food. What about Su Wei and the others? Are they there too? I’ll prepare for them too.”

Wei Mingyue revealed a sad expression. “Yao Fei died… Brother Su Wei and the others went to settle his funeral.”

Xu Ying was stunned. Yao Fei, the honest man who didn’t like to talk. She was a little dazed. It seemed like she was just assigning him a room to stay in with the chatterbox Wu Youhui yesterday.

Xu Ying followed Wei Mingyue to the Wasteland Reclaimers’ main camp. After going through a series of security checks, she took the elevator down to the third underground floor and finally saw Wei Qiyan lying in the capsule recovery chamber.

Seeing the two of them, Wei Qiyan opened the transparent hatch. Looking at Xu Ying’s worried face, he smiled lightly. “I’m fine.”

Xu Ying looked at him expressionlessly. “Last time you said you were fine when you broke your arm.”

Wei Mingyue skillfully pulled up her brother’s sleeve. “Fortunately, you are fine. Professor Liang Ruo has been very busy recently. She definitely won’t have time to focus on you. Did you break any part of your body?”

Hearing this, Xu Ying subconsciously tensed up and sized up Wei Qiyan.

Wei Qiyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “No, I didn’t. How have you guys been recently? How is the Peach Blossom Land?”

He looked at Xu Ying as he asked the last question. No matter how hard he tried to hide his beautiful phoenix eyes, Xu Ying could still see the sorrow in them. Losing a teammate, no one was sadder than him as the captain. Xu Ying’s heart suddenly ached. When she was young, she heard from adults that the Wasteland Reclaimers risked their lives to go to abandoned cities to retrieve the lost technology and revive the civilization that protected mankind. However, twenty years had passed. They had found what they could. The other bases were also developing. Why did they need these people to risk their lives?

Seeing Xu Ying this sad, Wei Qiyan thought that someone was bullying her, so he asked directly, “Who bullied you?” Before he left, he had told his men to secretly protect the Peach Blossom Land.

Xu Ying quickly waved her hand. “No, I just don’t understand. Why do you need to go out and do a life-threatening mission?”

Wei Qiyan was stunned for a moment before he shook his head with a smile. “The peaceful and safe world you see is just an illusion. The existence of us is to maintain this illusion. Protecting the safety of the people is our duty as soldiers.”

Xu Ying was shocked by these words and choked up.

At this moment, the door to the recovery room was pushed open. Su Wei and his group had returned. They were surprised to see Xu Ying there. After greeting each other, they directly said to Wei Qiyan, “Captain, the old chief wants you to go to his place when you wake up. And this is what we brought back this time.” As he spoke, he took out a transparent sealed bag.

Xu Ying could also see the transparent bag, but she couldn’t tell what it was. That thing looked like a white bone, but there was white hair on it. Was that white hair like a big feather?
