By that time, Lu Hao had already hung up the sign, and when he saw Su Jin returning, he naturally walked over and stood beside her.

Standing behind, Guo Yang noticed that whenever these two were together, the distance between them never exceeded half a meter, and Lu Hao always seemed to stand behind Su Jin.

He suddenly remembered the golden retriever they had at home as a child, which also behaved the same way, always following behind his grandfather and him like a guardian.

This guy really was a loyal dog kind of man!

“Xiao Jin, where’s your mom?”

Su Xiangzhe came out of the shop and asked, thinking that Lin Tianhui would return with Su Jin.

“She started working today; Yao Yi took her to the site,” Su Jin said with a smile.

“So soon?!”

Beyond his surprise, Su Xiangzhe also felt a bit lost, as Lin Tianhui had been with him all these days. Now that she was going to work, he really wasn’t used to it.

“Don’t worry, dad, mom is happy. If you miss her, you can also go to the site to see her,”

Su Jin could see Su Xiangzhe’s reluctance, and she felt a bit unaccustomed herself. After all, everyone had been moving together for so long, but if they wanted to enhance Lin Tianhui’s Healing Element Ability, this was the fastest way.

Su Xiangzhe was just about to say he didn’t want to when Liao Yifan inside the shop had already called Su Jin over, as they had been setting up for quite a while.

Su Jin entered the shop and discovered many colorful ribbons and various flower baskets she had taken out from her space, as well as some shelving and tables she had acquired before.

Moving further inside, she could see the paintings by Mao Qiqi displayed on the shelves, as well as a few decorative faux potted plants.

Then, looking even deeper inside, there was nothing else.

“Is this it?” Su Jin was stunned.

“That’s all we can do; we’ve already arranged all we could. The rest of the stock is in Guo Yang’s space,” Liao Yifan explained.

Well, this shop was completely different from what she had imagined!

In an open area near Dragon Leap Villa, those participating in the base construction were gathered together this morning. They had already been divided into groups based on their respective Special Abilities and skills, with each small group having Earth Element, Metal Element, Water Element, and Power Element Users, and of course, many ordinary people mixed in. They were there to attend the mobilization meeting today.

Lin Cheng, Lin Tianzhen, and Mao Zhihang were among them, and they were fortunate to be placed in the same team. This might also have been due to Liang Jiuqing’s presence, after all, who didn’t recognize the temporary base leader’s sister. And since the group organizers were the same people who had registered their information in the villa area before, they recognized Lin Cheng and his friends. Their Special Abilities also happened to fit well within a team, so they naturally ended up together.

The somewhat chaotic scene quieted down when Liang Jiuhui stepped onto the front stage.

From the stage, Liang Jiuhui looked at the young faces below, and those not so young anymore, and bowed deeply…

Mao Zhihang couldn’t help but admire Liang Jiuhui’s gesture; at least his action had already made everyone feel his sincerity.

“Thank you to all who have come to participate in the construction of the base. I am Liang Jiuhui, the temporary head here. I assume everyone from the Refuge recognizes me, right?”

Liang Jiuhui spoke in a relaxed tone, not putting on airs in front of the people.

However, his tone shifted as he continued, “Over the past month, we’ve been through so much. In just one night, we moved from the Prosperous Era to the Apocalypse!”

“I, like all of you, have felt panic, fear, and despair. But this is a calamity for all of humanity! The Zombie Virus has destroyed countless families and claimed the lives of numerous compatriots. Among those present, who hasn’t seen their family shattered? Who hasn’t been separated from their spouse and children? Who hasn’t watched those detestable zombies devouring their neighbors, friends, and relatives one bite at a time?”

The crowd below fell silent upon hearing this.

Some had tearful eyes; in just over a month, they had lost too much…

“But now is not the time for our sorrow! We, the survivors, do not yet have the right to mourn. What we can do now is use our strength to fight back, to seek revenge! Only by uniting can we hope to survive till the end!”

Liang Jiuhui’s words struck a chord in everyone’s heart—who wouldn’t want to survive till the end? If there was hope and a possibility, they were willing to give it their all.

“The land we stand on now will be the future base of S City! It is the hope of humanity! Every foundation you dig, every brick you lay, will be a powerful shield to protect your loved ones in the future! Humanity will thank you, the base will remember you! You are all heroes in building the future of this base!”

Beneath the stage, it was quiet, everyone listening intently.

But inside, everyone’s feelings were surging. He was right; they were doing something glorious—for themselves, for their families, and for all of humanity!

Lin Cheng and his two companions also felt their blood boil, recalling their family and teammates in the villa; they couldn’t wait to start building the base right away.

Xia Mufei was even more exaggerated; he was secretly wiping away tears, not even understanding why he was crying. Perhaps it was the so-called involuntary tear-jerking constitution.

Xia Ying, standing next to him, glanced at him, then looked expressionlessly ahead, though the scorn in her eyes had yet to fade.

Following that, Liang Jiuhui discussed some of the benefits for those participating in the construction of the base. In addition to the benefits previously mentioned in the recruitment information, those who participated in the construction had the privilege of priority residency in the villa area and a lifelong discount of 30% on housing fees, as well as various other medical and discount benefits.

The people present were very uplifted upon hearing this; they hadn’t expected such great benefits for participating in the construction of the base. The mention of priority and discounts sounded appealing, but the smart ones knew the importance of these benefits for the future. Moreover, Liang Jiuhui had said this was a one-time offer.

Meaning, they would forever have rights in the base that others could only envy.

“That’s great, Xia Ying, we’ll always have a place to live,” Xia Mufei said excitedly. Liang Jiuhui was indeed a great leader!

“Tch, such pretense,”

Xia Ying remarked as she watched Liang Jiuhui, who was still answering everyone’s various questions.

“What did you say?” Xia Mufei was still immersed in his joyful emotions and hadn’t quite caught what Xia Ying had said.

“Nothing,” Xia Ying replied and then fell silent.

“Are you Xia Mufei?”

In the crowd, Lin Cheng saw a familiar figure. Wasn’t this the young man who was talking to Su Jin yesterday? Lin Cheng’s eyes lit up immediately—this was the savior of Xiao Jin!
