Chapter 126 I want to buy something from you.

Kong Rui looked at Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan for quite a while before slowly nodding. "If you want to go, I won't stop you, but there's no need to rush.

It's getting late. You'd better go back and rest early!"

Even if Kong Rui didn't say that, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan wouldn't rush either.

They said goodbye to Kong Rui, then drove back home.

After being away for a few days, there were quite a few bug corpses in the yard.

This was probably due to the large - scale spraying of insecticide in the base every day.

Looking at these bug corpses, Liu Ruyan didn't feel disgusted.

After all, compared to crawling bugs, corpses were more acceptable.

"Let's leave them here for now. We can clean them up tomorrow," Zhang Yuan said.

Liu Ruyan nodded. "That's what I was thinking too!"

They opened the iron gate and entered the living room. Everything in front of them was exactly the same as before they left.

Looking at the familiar living room, Liu Ruyan felt a sense of peace.

After being away and on the go for a long time, finally coming home probably felt like this!

The two of them weren't in a hurry to eat. First, they each took a bath, changed their clothes, and washed the clothes they had changed out of. Then they went back to the bedroom together.

To avoid the furniture in the bedroom getting dusty while they were away, Liu Ruyan had put all the furniture in the bedroom into the space before leaving.

Just after taking a bath, Liu Ruyan had already mopped the bedroom floor, and now it was just dry.

She took out the bed, carpet, and other things from the space and placed them in their original positions. The empty room once again became a warm little bedroom.

Sitting on the carpet, Liu Ruyan touched the small table in front of her and looked at Zhang Yuan. "What do you want to eat?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Ruyan eagerly. "I'll eat whatever you eat."

Meeting Zhang Yuan's gaze, Liu Ruyan felt warm in her heart, and a smile appeared in her eyes. She brought out two bowls of noodles and two cold dishes, one meat and one vegetarian.

Neither of them spoke while eating.

After they were full and had a short rest, they went straight to bed.

Lying on the bed, Liu Ruyan nestled in Zhang Yuan's arms, listened to Zhang Yuan's regular heartbeat, and slowly closed her eyes.

That night, Liu Ruyan had a dream.

She dreamed of her previous life.

In the dream, Liu Ruyan was in the thick fog. It was a very small base. It was relatively stable at first, but after the fog came, danger was everywhere.

Some people tried their best to avoid danger, while some people themselves became the danger.

When she woke up, Liu Ruyan opened her eyes, but her eyes were a bit vacant.

She hadn't dreamed of things from her previous life for a long time.

Occasionally when she thought about it, it also felt as distant as something from a past life.

She probably had this dream because of what she had seen and heard yesterday.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's voice behind her, Liu Ruyan turned over and saw Zhang Yuan propping his head up with his hand, looking at her with a bit of curiosity.

Zhang Yuan smiled. "I saw that you've been awake for a while but not saying anything. What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking about the dream I just had."

Liu Ruyan told Zhang Yuan about her dream. "Life in the base is too stable, making me think that those things from the previous life wouldn't happen again.

It was only yesterday that I realized that it's not that those things wouldn't happen again, but that they were just happening in places I couldn't see."

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and pinched Liu Ruyan's face.

"We can't do anything about things we can't see.

But as long as we see them, we'll eliminate them."

Liu Ruyan's originally somewhat vacant eyes gradually regained their luster after hearing Zhang Yuan's words.

"Okay!"

After breakfast, the two of them practiced sparring for three hours.

When they finished, both of them were sweating profusely and exhausted.

There were more or less purple - blue marks on the skin exposed outside.

But the pain from these minor injuries was nothing to either Liu Ruyan or Zhang Yuan.

The two of them weren't in a hurry to take a bath. They each sat on a small bench and discussed what to do next.

Liu Ruyan looked at Zhang Yuan. "You said we're going to the Second Base. When do you plan to leave?"

Without any hesitation, Zhang Yuan gave an answer immediately. "It's up to you."

Liu Ruyan thought for a while. "Then we should first find Captain Kong and ask about the specific situation of the Second Base!"

They knew nothing about the Second Base.

There should still be some connection between bases.

They needed to find out the general situation clearly before proceeding to the next step.

When the sweat on their bodies had mostly dissipated, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan each took a bath, changed their clothes, and went out.

Before going out, Zhang Yuan contacted Kong Rui first.

After learning that Kong Rui had time now, the two of them went over.

Inside the base, they were still used to driving an electric vehicle.

Although it took a little longer, there were no annoying bugs anymore, and driving an electric vehicle was somewhat fun.

When they arrived, they saw that Kong Rui was already waiting outside.

The three of them directly went to Kong Rui's office.

As soon as they took their seats, Kong Rui spoke.

"Early this morning, I went to see those people you brought back yesterday. I've got a rough idea of the general situation.

At the earliest today, and at the latest tomorrow, we'll send people into the city."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan both nodded and didn't say much.

They knew Kong Rui's work efficiency well and didn't need to say anything more.

After talking about this, Kong Rui took out a file folder from the drawer and handed it to the two of them.

"You came here today probably to ask about the situation of the Second Base. This is all the information I know about the Second Base. It's for you."

Zhang Yuan reached out to take it and gave Kong Rui a thumbs - up. "Captain Kong, you're really efficient. Thanks a lot!"

Kong Rui smiled helplessly and shook his head. "It should be me who should say thank you. When it comes to work efficiency, neither I nor my subordinates can compare with you two.

If it weren't for you, it's really hard to say how many of those people would have survived in the end.

They said to ask me to thank you on their behalf."

Seeing that neither Liu Ruyan nor Zhang Yuan said anything, Kong Rui became even more helpless.

"You two are becoming more and more alike.

Well, since you don't want to hear this, I won't say it anymore.

Zhang Yuan, you said you want to go to the Second Base. I won't stop you, but at least you can't leave now.

The construction of the underground city has just resumed. You can't leave now.

The earliest you can leave is half a month later."

"No problem." Zhang Yuan agreed readily. "Coincidentally, I also have something to tell you."

Hearing this, Kong Rui sat up straight. "What is it? As long as I can do it, I won't hesitate!"

"You don't need to be so nervous." Zhang Yuan smiled. "We still have quite a few contribution points. We want to buy something from you so that we can be well - prepared for the journey."

"What do you want to buy?"

"An armored vehicle."

Kong Rui was stunned at first, then burst out laughing. "I thought it was something serious. So it's just this. Okay! I promise!"
