The Night Before

After washing the dishes, Han Qichuan came out of the kitchen and saw Yun You squatting on the sofa. She was not in a good mood. When he walked in and took a closer look, he realized that the corners of Yun You's eyes were a little red.

Had she cried earlier?

Han Qichuan's eyes darkened and he suddenly felt his heart tighten.

At this moment, Yun You had already adjusted her state of mind. Her mood had long calmed down, but she still had a slight nasal tone.

"I'm fine. I just read a story and felt that the protagonist had suffered a lot."

Han Qichuan noticed the book in front of Yun You and did not want to see what kind of story it was. What he did not know was that even if he looked at it now, he would only see a blank page.

"Then how miserable is he?" Han Qichuan was puzzled.

After spending three days together, Han Qichuan felt that Yun You was not the kind of person who liked to cry. However, he did not understand why she would cry when she saw others in a miserable state.

Looking at Han Qichuan asking seriously, Yun You burst out laughing. "Very tragically sad and miserable."

Han Qichuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Yun You and smiled. He didn't know what she was smiling about, but he didn't feel sad.

The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, Han Qichuan, you smiled again just now."

"Is that so?"

"Try smiling again."

Han Qichuan tried his best to smile, but he was too stiff. Coupled with his originally serious face, he looked very comical. Yun You smiled even more happily. "Alright, don't force yourself."

The gloomy atmosphere had completely disappeared. After Han Qichuan's interruption, Yun You felt very happy.

After laughing, Yun You remembered something important.

"Han Qichuan, let me ask you a question." Yun You hugged Big Orange and stroked its fur.

Han Qichuan sat opposite Yun You and nodded for her to ask.

"If, and I mean if, what you've lost are painful memories. Do you still want to get them back?"

Yun You felt that this question was unnecessary. Because of the mission, she would definitely get it back for Han Qichuan.

However, she wanted to know Han Qichuan's true thoughts now. Perhaps if it was that answer, it could ease the guilt in her heart.

Han Qichuan was silent for a moment.

No one would ask such a question for no reason. Perhaps Yun You had already heard about it from somewhere. When he lost control previously, he had some images in his mind. From these short fragments, he could tell that those memories were definitely not good.

But—

"Yes." Han Qichuan nodded firmly.

He did not want to live in a daze. Memories were just memories. Just because they were gone did not mean that they had never happened.

Instead of forgetting, it was better to face it head-on.

"Okay."

"Boss, if I don't have anywhere to go, can you take me in?"

Han Qichuan looked at Yun You with anticipation and a hint of cowardice in his eyes. After all, his past and hers were two extremes.

Seeing Han Qichuan like this, Yun You smiled. "Haven't you been staying here for two days? Am I going to chase you away? However, there's only one bed in the shop. You have to sleep on the sofa from then on."

She pointed at the sofa where Han Qichuan was sitting.

Now that Han Qichuan's injuries had healed, he could sleep on the sofa.

"Okay!" His expression was still the same, but his tone was light. It was obvious that he was still very happy.

Yun You smiled without saying anything, seeing that he was so happy to sleep on the sofa.

Time passed in a flash. Yun You carried Big Orange back to her room.

She could finally sleep on the bed today!

Yun You spun around with Big Orange in her arms.

"Meow, don't shake me, meow." Big Orange struggled.

Yun You stopped, put down Big Orange, and prepared to sleep.

However, she suddenly remembered that she still had something to do.

She picked up the storybook that she had yet to put into her space. At this moment, Big Orange came to sit beside her. It had already guessed what Yun You was going to do and did not want to miss out on any news.

Yun You summoned the system interface and paid 100 system coins on it. "System, storybook check."

Prism Fruit.

[Prism Fruit… will appear in the city center of C City tomorrow afternoon.]

Tomorrow? So soon? It seemed like she has to go out again.

—-

At the temporary base of Cang Qing and Dragon Might.

Dozens of people were gathered together. Captain Cang Qing was reading the list of people who would go to the center of C City tomorrow after discussing with Dragon Might.

"Wait, why am I not on the list?" Ling Xuanwei realized that the list didn't even have her name after reciting it. With her strength, she should be there. The peak of Level 3 was only Cheng Jun's strength.

"This…" The leader was in a dilemma.

"It was my decision." Lu Linyan stood up from the side.

"Why?" Ling Xuanwei did not understand.

"It's too dangerous. That's not a place you should go," Lu Linyan replied.

"I dare say that my strength is ranked third among everyone here. What right do you have to say that it's a place I shouldn't go?" Ling Xuanwei was a little angry.

"Be good and stop fooling around, alright? If anything happens to you, how am I going to answer to Chief Ling?" Lu Linyan wanted to try to persuade Ling Xuanwei to give up.

"No, Lu Linyan, do you know how serious the consequences will be if the zombies get the Prism Fruit? The chances of success are not high to begin with, and you still want to reduce our combat strength. Is there a Captain like you? Huh?"

"If you're not confident, why are you going when it's so dangerous? There's no room for negotiation!"

"I will definitely go," Ling Xuanwei said angrily before turning around and running away.

"You… come back."

Lu Linyan wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

"Captain, let me go and see Sister Wei!" Shan Tao suggested.

Lu Linyan nodded.

"Sister Wei, wait for me." Shan Tao chased after her.

"Captain Lu, I think what Ling Xuanwei said makes sense. Why don't you think about it again?" Cang Qing said. "Moreover, if she wants to go, we can't stop her."

"I'll think about it!" Lu Linyan rubbed his temples.

"Chen Fei, the news of the location of the Prism Fruit has been spread, right?" Han Bin lay on the bed. The backlash injury from before was a little serious.

"Brother Han, don't worry it."

Chen Fei patted his chest and peeled the fruits of the apocalypse. "But Brother Han, didn't you already predict it? Why are you still here?"

"Although the outcome will change, I'm still worried without seeing the final outcome." Han Bin's tone was calm. "By the way, have you called more people back?"

"I called them back. They might be here in a while."

Han Bin nodded. If things got chaotic, there would be trouble if there were too many people.

In a room in this empty city, Mei shook her wine glass and admired the moonless night sky. She seemed to be unconsciously swaying through the crisscrossing streets, but she was actually planning the mission route for tomorrow.

"Sigh! The fruit will only ripen tomorrow afternoon! The location of the city center is really not easy to attack at all." Mei's expression was not very good now.

"Then let's wait for the others. I hope they won't disappoint me!"

C City was exceptionally quiet tonight. Only the quiet sound of the wind urged the green fruit on a huge vine in the center. Under the fruit, a deformed figure with a big head walked back and forth tirelessly.
