Main Character:

Shen Yao

Because the system was too intelligent, Shen Yao quickly received news that Song Ling had found Shen Yu.

Song Ling was also impressive; she relied entirely on herself throughout, and even upon seeing her son's miserable state, she did not shed tears on the spot. Instead, she seriously inquired with the responsible doctors and nurses about the situation, and only after confirming that Shen Yu was truly in no danger did she heave a heavy sigh of relief.

However, with people constantly coming and going in the hospital, and because of the beast tide attacking the base, injured people with broken arms and legs were constantly being brought in. Song Ling simply stayed by Shen Yu's side, and only when Shen Jiancheng hurriedly entered from outside did Song Ling get a chance to go out and buy food.

A simple nutrient agent, one tube per person; Shen Yu was in a coma and did not need to eat.

The couple discussed it and directly borrowed a cart to take Shen Yu away.

Don't look at the thick white bandages wrapped around Shen Yu's head; actually, this person's injuries were not too severe. The hospital had given him several bottles of nutrient-replenishing potions, and recuperating at home was quieter and safer than staying in the hospital.

Shen Yao had already organized the remaining supplies at home. Before Song Ling and the others arrived home, she picked up a back basket filled with supplies and walked to the Shen Family Doorway.

"You child, why aren't you obedient?" Song Ling's first words upon meeting were to scold Shen Yao. Seeing that she could no longer hide it from her own daughter, Song Ling worried that Shen Yao's body couldn't handle something happening.

Shen Yao smiled and asked about Shen Yu's condition, then handed the back basket she brought to Song Ling. "To nourish Big Brother's body; inside there is a small bottle of honey."

These were treasures left over from the cold season. Although the amount was small and not very fresh, at least they were more effective than nutrient agents.

Song Ling raised her hand and wiped her eyes twice, nodding with an "en."

"You go back quickly. Nowadays, your brother needs someone to take care of him at home, and Mom is too busy to look after you." Moreover, if Shen Yao stayed, she would likely end up suffering along with them, and Song Ling was even more reluctant.

"Mom, I'm leaving first. If anything happens, tell me and Dad in time."

Shen Yao held her belly, shook her wristwatch, did not take back the back basket she brought, turned around, and walked straight home.

Shen Jiancheng and Song Ling pushed and pulled Shen Yu into place, put the supplies Shen Yao brought into the kitchen, and only then did Song Ling have time to complain to Shen Jiancheng about the chaos at the hospital.

"Our little Yu's trouble this time was purely an undeserved disaster. The hospital didn't charge hospitalization fees or expenses, and also said there would be point compensation later. You don't know, I..."

Song Ling's mouth—once opened, it never closed. She had arrived earlier than Shen Jiancheng and had seen the scene at the hospital in the truest sense.

Shen Jiancheng poured a cup of water and handed it to her. "Didn't you ask Xiao Jia? Little Yu went to find her when the trouble happened."

Hearing this, Song Ling rolled her eyes at Shen Jiancheng, knowing this man would be nagging in his heart. "Don't blame Xiao Jia. This child is busy to the point of not touching the ground. Little Yu having a bed in the hospital was because Xiao Jia begged the leader."

Including this time Shen Yu's compensation, it was all obtained by Xiao Jia making a scene. Otherwise, how could the hospital make it free and even give compensation? She really didn't understand the hospital's virtue.

Shen Jiancheng:...

"I didn't mean that, I..." Before he could finish speaking, Song Ling recounted what happened to Shen Yu at the hospital again, dispelling Shen Jiancheng's confusion while also giving justice to Xiao Jia, who hadn't appeared yet.

"... That's how things are. After Xiao Jia finishes her work, the marriage that should be held will continue to be held."

"The base has had trouble constantly these past few years. The children are grown up; we can't drag it out any longer."

Dragging it out only created trouble. Just the scene at the hospital today with blood splashing everywhere was enough to give Song Ling nightmares at night.

So afraid!

If not this time, then next time. They are all mortals of flesh and blood; how could they not get injured?

Song Ling and Shen Jiancheng nagged in various ways, and Shen Yao, back at home, was also somewhat uneasy.

After Cheng Qi sent the earlier message, there was no more movement. Shen Yao couldn't contact him and could only ask the system to investigate.

The system was very capable. With one sentence, "Cheng Qi and his group are trapped by mutant beasts," Shen Yao's heart rose high, and then with another sentence, "The mutant beasts have no interest in them," her heart fell heavily again.

Shen Yao:...

"Is Cheng Qi safe? How is it at the base entrance? Are the casualties among ordinary people outside serious?"

Shen Yao asked several questions in a row. After receiving accurate answers from the system, she simply sat on the sofa to think of countermeasures.

"According to your calculations, how long can the base hold out?" It definitely wasn't reliable, but when they left, especially since she still had a child in her belly.

"Fastest three years, slowest five years. Host, do not harbor any wishful thinking toward the base."

"The base's mineral resources are nearly exhausted and can no longer develop normally."

Even without mutant beast attacks, the cold season and hot rainy season wouldn't be extended, and the base still wouldn't exist for long.

You must know that every base that can be established relies on the resources distributed around the base.

The base needs to frequently communicate with the outside world and purchase weapons that can protect the base. When the base can't produce mineral resources that move people's hearts, it can no longer conduct exchange purchases.

Just like doing business needs a specialty; without its own specialty, it can only sink into the crowd.

Dawn Base is currently in this predicament. The base upper echelon has already been looking for a new place. Ordinary people like the host still need to plan as early as possible.

Shen Yao:...

Good grief, no matter which world, it seems I've never stayed in one place for long.

Either running from here or escaping from there, simply like undergoing Tribulation Transcendence.

Complaining in her heart that her luck wasn't very good, Shen Yao asked the system to keep watching Cheng Qi, while she rubbed her slightly hungry belly, turned around, and cooked a bowl of noodles.

There was still some rice and flour at home. After Shen Yao simply ate and cleaned up the cookware, just as she was about to go upstairs, she heard someone banging on the door.

Remembering what Cheng Qi had said before, Shen Yao didn't run over to open the door but instead came to the window to observe.

The person knocking on the door wore a hat, with their face lowered, so their features couldn't be seen.

Judging by outward appearance alone, they were not an acquaintance Shen Yao remembered.

Running to the back door and shouting "Catch a thief," the person knocking on the door subconsciously stopped and retreated. The originally quiet neighbors all poked their heads out, as if they wanted to find the thief.

Shen Yao immediately returned to her room satisfied and sat by the bedside checking her wristwatch messages. As a result, she really found pictures on the forum—of robbers who had sneaked in.

Oh, or one could say they were avengers. Those people who were suppressed by the Patrol Team during the cold season had many who escaped the net.

Nowadays, the Patrol Team is busy dealing with mutant beast attacks, so homes feel empty. This group found an opportunity to sneak in and seek revenge, and many families have already suffered misfortune.

Shen Yao's face turned cold. She picked up the crossbow she had taken off and tied it back to her arm.

She quickly went to a place on the second floor with a wide view, suitable for shooting cold arrows. Seeing that the person knocking on the door hadn't left, she directly shot an arrow out.

Having been trained, Shen Yao knew exactly where to shoot a crossbow bolt to be most lethal.

Besides, these people came running just to take advantage, didn't they? What else was there to say? Hurry up and send them underground to reunite.

After the coldly gleaming arrow was shot, it struck the man's body squarely; the intense pain made him roll all over the ground, speaking without restraint.

Shen Yao didn't take it to heart; only when the other party was completely motionless did she take a photo and send it to the Officials.

In the mutated world, personal space is highly valued; base regulations state that appearing in someone else's home without cause means that even if one is shot to death by others, it's not a problem.

Shen Yao killed someone; as long as it could be proven that the other party harbored ill intent, she didn't need to bear any responsibility at all.

…………

The Officials were still busy with base affairs and temporarily couldn't attend to Shen Yao's side.

Putting down her wristwatch and turning back into the room, Shen Yao held her crossbow and lay on the bed to rest with her eyes closed.

It wasn't until Cheng Qi returned in the evening and asked about the bloodstains outside the door that Shen Yao told him what had happened during the day.

Cheng Qi's expression was serious: "The family members of the Patrol Team members have had no few incidents today."

Even the base stepping in to placate them was useless; they could only adopt stricter measures.

Cheng Qi still had to go out tomorrow; he wasn't at ease leaving Shen Yao alone at home, "Go to Ma's side; Ba and Eldest Young Master have the energy to look after you."

Here referring to the Cheng Family; compared to the Shen Family, which didn't have much background, Cheng Qi still knew the Cheng Family a bit better.

No matter how inflexible Cheng Ba and Cheng Dage were, the connections they could use were still strong.

By then, even if District B was in turmoil, they could protect Shen Yao from harm.

"I'll go there early tomorrow morning; as for you yourself, mutant beasts are gathering outside the base, how will the Upper Echelon handle it?" Relying on cannons alone wouldn't work; they simply couldn't blast them away.

"The Upper Echelon has already requested aid from the surroundings; internally, they plan to open the Weapon Storehouse and resist with all their might."

Life and death hung by a thread; the base Upper Echelon were all in District A; once the base fell, they wouldn't be able to survive either.

At such a time, there was no need to quibble over gains and losses anymore; they just had to get through the current difficulty first before there was any hope of survival.

The two discussed strategies regarding the base, and the result they reached was to leave as soon as possible.

Dawn Base no longer showed any dawn; Cheng Qi recalled the unusual movements of the base Upper Echelon, thinking to himself that as long as something happened, this group of people would run faster than them, so what could they expect?

…………

Early the next morning, Cheng Qi personally sent Shen Yao back to the Cheng Family before going to work.

Cheng Ma had long received the news and had already tidied up the room Cheng Qi used to live in.

"With me and your Ba here, Yao Yao staying at home won't run into trouble." Cheng Ma held two bowls of breakfast food she had specially saved for them, gesturing for the two of them to hurry up and eat.

Shen Yao smiled with narrowed eyes, pointing to the two back baskets Cheng Qi had brought over, "There's only this much left at home, Ma; I'll be troubling you these days."

Eating and drinking for free wasn't quite right; comparing it to the amount of food two people could eat, Shen Yao specially brought two back baskets of food. Although the quantity wasn't large, it contained everything, making Zhao Xue feel embarrassed.

Cheng Ma scolded Shen Yao for being too courteous, telling her not to bring anything when she came over next time.

Shen Yao just pursed her lips and smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing.

"Ma, hurry and let Yao Yao go back to her room to rest; she must be tired after rushing over so early in the morning."

Zhao Xue spoke up, timely rescuing Shen Yao from the awkwardness.

Shen Yao smiled gratefully at Zhao Xue, took over the conversation, and said she felt a bit sleepy.

A pregnant woman, after all, was at the most critical time of pregnancy; Cheng Ma was frightened into an "aiyo" sound, hurriedly sending her into the room, not to mention not paying attention to Cheng Qi at all.

Fortunately, Cheng Qi knew his birth mother had no other meaning; he greeted the other people at home, tidied his clothes, turned around, and left.

Afterward, Shen Yao stayed at the Cheng Family; Cheng Qi put more energy into mutant beasts, leaving early and returning late every day, occasionally staying at the Patrol Team without coming back if it was too late.

After being busy for half a month, the mutant beasts gathered at the base entrance finally dispersed, and the people trapped in the base were rescued.

Cheng Qi found some free time and came to the Cheng Family to pick up Shen Yao and go back.

Cheng Ma nagged Cheng Qi many sentences about this: "The home has everything; after going back, Yao Yao still has to do things herself; why bother?"

Cheng Qi was unmoved, insisting on picking up Shen Yao and going home, while promising he would help.

Cheng Ma: ……

Cheng Ma saw the two off with a complex expression, then turned and complained to Cheng Ba.

"There's Eldest Brother's family at home; how can you alone take care of Second Brother's wife?"

Eldest Brother's wife was fine, but when it came to family interests, she wouldn't be willing either; it was agreed long ago to separate households and live apart, so one couldn't be sentimental.

Cheng Ma: ……

"Yes yes yes, everything is my fault; I'm not sensible, I make a scene and act unreasonably, Cheng Guodong, you..."

Cheng Ma pointed at Cheng Ba's nose and cursed a round, until she let out the anger in her heart, before putting this matter aside.

Shen Yao and Cheng Qi, who were hurrying home, didn't know Cheng Ma and Cheng Ba had a quarrel (Cheng Ma unilaterally outputted); the two didn't chat about Cheng Family matters at all, talking about their gathering arrangements for the future.

Shen Yao could currently still go out normally; once the hot rainy season arrived, she would only be able to stay pregnant at home.

Even in the mild season after the hot rainy season, Shen Yao's time to go out was limited; the living expenses for the family of three all relied on Cheng Qi himself.

"I'll try my best to use connections to buy supplies; the points in hand don't need to be too many; exchanging them for value-preserving items will be more cost-effective."

Points couldn't circulate in other bases; that is to say, the points they earned could only be spent here; once they left, the points would be blank paper.

Since they no longer planned to stay at Dawn Base for long, they naturally had to consider the future.

Cheng Qi originally planned to use connections to climb up, but now climbing up was not good, because their departure was destined not to be aboveboard; they could only sneak around.

'Sneak around?' The System was puzzled; the base had no mandatory measures, why did leaving require caring about so much?

Shen Yao rolled her eyes, 'Really stupid or fake stupid? The worse the base is, the harder it is to leave.'

Otherwise, before the base Upper Echelon evacuated, the ordinary people of the base would stir up trouble.

No one was a Stupid Person; when a political power could no longer maintain stability, everyone would be dragged in, making seemingly crazy but actually self-destructive choices uncontrollably.

They just wanted to leave quietly; on the premise of not alarming others, they would go to settle and live in the New Base completely and without any restraint.

System: ……Although but, vaguely impressive

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao gave up communicating with the system and urged it to open the Long-term Space as soon as possible; temporary spaces would affect their plans.

System: Hm?

"Use the previous strategy to grant Cheng Qi some Space Permissions," get Cheng Qi to participate as much as possible, and firmly bind them both together, "How many useful things can Shipping take away? Are you willing to give your own things to the Base for nothing?"

Of course unwilling!

Even if Shen Yao took a Pill produced by itself, the system would feel uncomfortable for a long time; giving away the Base for nothing was out of the question.

The system began researching how to grant Cheng Qi partial Space Permissions without being discovered by the Heavenly Dao Consciousness.

Shen Yao smiled: Na Pin!
