Shi Xuan chuckled and sighed, "Why does it feel like I'm marrying off a daughter?"
Yao Ran laughed at his words as she went to the bathroom. Before long, she returned and said, "I have filled up the water tank in the bathroom."
"Thanks." Shi Xuan nodded and hurried off to take a bath.
While Shi Xuan was bathing, Yao Ran went to his bedroom. She took out two five-gallon bottles filled with diluted lake water and ten two-liter bottles of lake water and placed them beside the bed.
Afterward, she left the bedroom and placed three meal boxes with different menus on the small table in the living room.
Before leaving, she called out, "Shi Xuan, there are meal boxes for you in the living room and water in the bedroom. If you need anything, just find me later."
From the bathroom, Shi Xuan shouted back, "Alright!"
Hearing his response, Yao Ran left and closed the door. When she returned to Unit 20, she saw Long Yu on a phone call in the bedroom.
"Mhm. Make sure to check the air system daily," Long Yu said. After a brief pause, he added, "Good. Call me if anything happens. Take care."
After he put away the satellite phone, Yao Ran asked, "Huang Qian?"
Long Yu nodded at her question.
"Did something happen in the shelter?" she asked again.
"No. A Qian called to check on us. I told him we might need to stay here longer than planned," Long Yu replied, sitting on the bed.
Sitting beside him, Yao Ran took out two meal boxes and two bottles of watermelon juice from her space. She handed a meal box to Long Yu and said, "I'm going to find Chen Zizhen after eating. Will you come with me?"
"Of course." Long Yu answered without thinking.
After finishing their meal, the two packed their backpacks and weapons, informed Shi Xuan, and then left for Sector F, where the slum residents had been relocated. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Following the map and the directional signs on the wall, Yao Ran and Long Yu finally arrived at Sector F after walking for an hour.
Unlike the spacious area in Sector A, Sector F had narrower corridors and smaller living units. With a population multiple times that of Sectors S, A, and B combined, the air in Sector F felt stuffy and pungent.
While Yao Ran was studying the map at the entrance to Sector F, a thin boy about eight years old hesitantly approached her and Long Yu.
Standing a few steps away from them, the boy asked, "Elder Sistar, are you looking for someone?"
Hearing this, Yao Ran turned to look at him and replied, "Yes. Do you know someone named Chen Zizhen?"
The boy shook his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't know that person, but I can help you find him."
Yao Ran raised her brows slightly at the boy's words. Observing him, she asked, "What do you want in return for helping me?"
The boy answered, "My younger sister is sick. I need medicine."
