Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Arrival at Base B City Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Arrival at Base B City The next day, after Su Jin had slept enough to feel refreshed, she found that Lu Hao wasn’t by her side, and the scene in the living room left her speechless first thing in the morning.

Lu Hao and Lu Guanhai were like two devout apprentices, listening attentively to Wen Xiaoling as she explained something.

On a small blackboard that seemingly appeared out of nowhere was written large characters for early pregnancy precautions, things pregnant women should know, and nutrition during pregnancy. Lu Hao was taking notes with his head bowed, while Lu Guanhai was nodding along as he listened.

“Su Jin, you’re up?”

Wen Xiaoling, who noticed Su Jin coming downstairs first, paused her “lecture.”

“You guys…”

Su Jin didn’t know what to ask.

“Daughter-in-law, we’re learning first, just to be prepared, prepared,”
Lu Guanhai probably didn’t want Su Jin to feel awkward and hurriedly explained.

“Right, to be prepared,”
After Lu Hao finished writing another line of text, he followed up with an answer.

“Su Jin, let me tell you, you’ve married the right person. Just look at Lu Hao and your father-in-law; they got up bright and early to ask me about caring for pregnant women. They’re really concerned about you,”
Wen Xiaoling continually praised them, but she thought that Su Jin was equally excellent. If she were not married already, Wen Xiaoling would definitely have made arrangements for her son to meet her.

Completely unaware of what Wen Xiaoling was thinking, Su Jin could only smile awkwardly. Thankfully it was still early, and not too many people were up, or she would have felt even more embarrassed.

However, Su Jin later found out that Chen Chuyao had been up long before, saying he was preparing some special local products from the N City base for them.

The night before last, the exchange had finished late into the night. Su Jin had sold goods worth a total of 400,000 Crystal Cores to Chen Chuyao. Although they could have sold more, they were worried it might raise suspicions, so they only said there were no more supplies left in their Space.

But for Chen Chuyao, these supplies were a pleasant surprise. They would last the N City base a long time. The Heart Talk Team was simply too efficient.

Chen Chuyao indeed returned with two large bags of items. They were famous pastries from before the Apocalypse, which in these times must be even more valuable, right?

Preservable and high in sugar, in extreme hunger, one could say a piece could save a person’s life, and they looked very tasty, too.

“Mr. Chen, although we’re leaving today, we will come back here later on. You’re giving us so much…”

Su Jin wanted to refuse such valuable local specialities.

After discussing their itinerary yesterday, they realized that the location for Chen Chuyao’s task and the route to B City didn’t align. So Lu Hao decided that they would go to B City first and handle the task on their return. When the task was completed, they would still need to come back to receive the task reward.

“I know, but you must take these. Consider it a gesture of kindness from all the people at our base,”
Chen Chuyao insisted firmly, as these few items were nothing compared to all the supplies that Su Jin had given him.

Seeing that Chen Chuyao was insisting, Su Jin had no choice but to accept them.

Afterward, they would need to set off for B City base. Since B City base wasn’t far from here, roughly half a day’s journey, Wei Junhao had no intention of staying much longer.

Wen Xiaoling had also compiled the soilless cultivation technology into a notebook, including some fungus strains and the cultivation substrate, all of which she gave to Su Jin.

“Thank you, Aunt Wen. Once we get to S City, we’ll also express N City base’s goodwill to everyone,”
Su Jin said with a smile. If this soilless cultivation could be popularized in S City, she would say it was taught by N City base and not claim it on behalf of the Heart Talk Team.

“Really? Then I truly need to thank you,”
Wen Xiaoling was incredibly surprised. Although she rarely left the base, she knew if two bases were on good terms, it would naturally bring benefits to the base in the future. If that were the case, it meant they would owe their thanks to the Heart Talk Team.

The meeting point was at the entrance to the parking lot of N City base. Han Yue still had a grim expression on his face, but everyone was used to that by now.

However, Su Jin noticed that there was one person missing from their team.

“Xu Mingliang ah, he’s not planning to return to City B. He said goodbye to us yesterday and then he disappeared,”
Hang Wenshan said with a face full of regret. This time around, the base had really lost a lot of Special Ability Users.

Su Jin nodded her head and said nothing more. Xu Mingliang was actually smart for once, not following them back might be a good thing for him.

After bidding farewell to Chen Chuyao and the others, the three vehicles were ready to start their journey back.

“We’re finally about to complete the mission, we’ll return after we drop them off at the base, right?”

Lu Guanhai was somewhat missing his family.

“Mm, we don’t have any tasks on the City B side, staying longer is pointless. We’ll head back after safely delivering them,”
Lu Hao responded.

…

After the vehicles entered the territory of City B, the number of zombies had significantly decreased, and they gradually began to encounter other teams of Special Ability Users out hunting zombies on the road.

Lu Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, the road conditions here were still passable, it looked like they could complete the mission today.

City B base truly deserved its status as the largest base in the country currently, as Su Jin and her companions could see a corner of the base from a distance, but it still took quite some time to reach the main gate by car.

Within the Wei Family estate, a series of urgent knocks sounded.

“Sister Hong, help me open the door, I can’t leave right now,”
Wei Wei called out from the courtyard, as he was covered in mud, having been mixing nutrient soil, he had even taken off his shoes.

“All right, Master,”
Sister Hong wiped her hands with an apron and hurried to the door to open it.

“Uncle Wei, I just saw Junhao! He’s back!”

As soon as the door was opened, Ou Wenxuan shouted excitedly. Seeing that it was the Wei Family’s housekeeper who opened the door, Ou Wenxuan ran straight into the courtyard. Ever since the blizzard, when Wei Junhao lost contact, Uncle Wei had been soaking himself in the courtyard daily, almost as if he wanted to work through the night. He never expected that today, Wei Junhao would actually return!

“What?! Are you sure it is that kid?”

Wei Wei threw down the shovel in his hand, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and walked out covered in mud.

“Definitely sure, I also saw Han Yue,”
Ou Wenxuan said, and then he was ready to lead Wei Wei to the city gate.

At the entrance of City B, it was required to register and wait for an hour before entering, so Wei Junhao and his team should still be there.

Wei Wei couldn’t care about anything else and directly followed Ou Wenxuan out.

Sister Hong called out from behind, “Master, your shoes!”

Seeing that Wei Wei did not even turn his head, Sister Hong couldn’t help but sigh. She needed to immediately go to the prayer hall to inform the lady of the house, as she was not at home today, and was likely at some place praying for Wei Junhao.

A moment later, in front of Wei Junhao who was chatting and laughing with Su Jin and the others at the gate, a middle-aged man covered in mud suddenly rushed over.

“It really is Junhao, it really is Junhao!”

Wei Wei burst into tears, his foolish son was actually alive, still alive and had come back!
