“Dad… Why arc you here?” Young Master w.a.n.g instantly became obedient. “Why did you turn off my speaker?”
“What? If I don’t turn it off, you’re going to shout until tomorrow? Do you want everyone in the base to know that my son is embarra.s.sing himself here?”
“Dad! How could this be called embarra.s.sing?! I just want Xia Ju to stay!”
“You should have known her att.i.tude from the moment she resolutely boarded the helicopter.”
Young Master w.a.n.g instantly became dispirited. “I know, but I still want to try my best to make her stay. What if she’s touched by my sincerity?”
“Don’t even think about it.”
“I just thought—”
…..
“Are you a man? If that’s the case, then hurry up and subdue the forces left behind by An Wu. If you keep shouting, the people from the second base will take the opportunity to rope in those people. Do you still want to live a life of being suppressed by others? The sandstorm has just ended. Who knows how badly the crops have been damaged? Why aren’t you sending people to take a look? Do you want everyone to starve to death in a few months? You and Xia Ju aren’t the same kinds of people. Don’t waste your time.
“I didn’t stop you sooner because I wanted you to vent your emotions. Now that you’ve shouted enough, hurry up and get down to business!”
Young Master w.a.n.g’s eyes were red. He looked up, but he could not see anything except the thick white fog. The helicopter carrying Xia Ju had already flown to somewhere unknown. He sighed softly and spoke again. His voice had returned to normal. “Okay, I’ll go now!”
After saying this, Young Master w.a.n.g strode away without looking back.
“Son.” Suddenly, a sigh came from behind. “Don’t keep someone you might never meet again in your heart.”
Young Master w.a.n.g stopped in his tracks. After a while, he continued to stride forward. “I’ve always known that.”
Watching Young Master w.a.n.g leave, Mr. w.a.n.g felt a little complicated. What was the use of knowing all along? He had to not miss her! Before Mr. w.a.n.g could continue thinking, Young Master w.a.n.g’s figure had already disappeared into the thick fog.
Mr. w.a.n.g sighed and stopped thinking about this matter. The burden on the father and son was too heavy. They could not and should not waste their time and feelings on things that would not yield results.

Sunshine Courtyard. Yu Xinya and Wan Dapeng stood where they were until they could no longer hear the roar of the helicopter. The two of them reluctantly looked away. They walked toward the mobile house where Du Yue and He Xing lived. There was only a set of tables and chairs left in the living room. Du Yue and the others had bought them together when they opened the restaurant. There was a card reader on the table with two ident.i.ty cards beside it.
Yu Xinya was slightly stunned. She went forward and picked up the ident.i.ty cards. Looking at the two smiling faces on them, she had mixed feelings. “Sister Yu, there are a few bags of food here!” Wan Dapeng pointed at the grain in the corner and reminded Yu Xinya.
Yu Xinya looked at the grains for a long time before she calmed down and turned to Wan Dapeng. “Let’s go to the research center to see Lu Xun!”
Wan Dapeng nodded. “I’ll bring our men.
“This house will stay here. I’ll come over and clean up when I’m free. When Du Yue and He Xing come back, they can live here directly.” Wan Dapeng’s voice was m.u.f.fled, and his eyes were filled with sadness. After coming out of the treatment chamber, Wan Dapeng changed a lot. Although he was not as carefree and bright as before, he was still warm.
Yu Xinya looked at him and chuckled. “Okay, then you have to clean it well!”

Three hours later, the helicopter slowly landed on a piece of deserted farmland. Since the apocalypse, no one was growing crops. The terrain here was flat and very suitable for parking a helicopter. Walking out of the cabin, Du Yue waved her hand repeatedly. “We should fly less in the future!”
He Xing agreed. “Although driving is slower, it’s safer.”
Although they had only been flying in the sky for three hours, they had encountered danger several times. Du Yue did not want to experience that kind of life-threatening moment again. When they were on land, they did not notice that there were many birds in the sky. The birds were of different species, but they were huddled together in groups. There were many of them, and their bodies were much larger than ordinary birds. When they saw the helicopter, not only did they not dodge, but they also charged straight at them.
They did not know where they were, and they could not land the helicopter at will. Fortunately, the person flying the plane was He Xing. When encountering the flocks of birds, he did not panic at all. While controlling the direction, he could also turn around and comfort Du Yue. Although they encountered several flocks of birds along the way, they were still able to land safely on the ground in the end..
