After hearing this, the couple nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Lei said gratefully:

"Captain Li, we will always remember your kindness. If you need us in the future, please let us know."

After hearing this, Li Luo waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. This is a special period. You must pay more attention to safety in the future. Lock the doors and windows and don't give bad guys any chance to take advantage of you."

While the two sides were talking, the security team had already handcuffed the thief brother and sister and were preparing to take them away.

Before leaving, the captain of the security team walked quickly to Li Luo, stood tall, saluted solemnly, and said with admiration and gratitude in his eyes:

"Captain Li, thanks to you being here today, otherwise I don't know how this matter would end."

His voice was particularly clear in the quiet courtyard, and his tone was sincere and genuine.

Li Luo smiled and returned the greeting, his eyes firm and gentle, and said:

"It's nothing, this is what we should do. Everyone has done their best in carrying out the mission, thank you for your hard work!"

Her eyes swept over every member of the security team, full of affirmation and encouragement.

The captain of the security team nodded and continued:

"Captain Li, we will take the prisoner back to the station first. We still have to hurry up with the subsequent interrogation work."

Li Luo nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then everyone, be careful on your way back and stay safe."

The captain of the security team responded: "Don't worry, Captain Li, we will!"

After saying that, he turned around and led his team members to escort the thief brother and sister out of the yard.

After the group left, the yard finally returned to peace.

Zhao Lei walked forward enthusiastically, his eyes full of earnestness, and sincerely invited Li Luo to come in and sit down.

Li Luo looked at Zhao Lei's family of four in front of him, shook his head slightly, and said:

"No, it's getting late. I have other things to do, so I won't disturb your rest. You must be more careful and take precautions in the future."

At this time, Zhao's father trembled and stepped forward, holding Li Luo's hand tightly with his weather-beaten hands, and said:

"My dear, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to our family. We will definitely come to thank you someday."

Zhao Lei's wife Qiu Lan also echoed, with a lingering look of fear on her face:

"Yes, Captain Li, you are our family's benefactor. We will definitely remember this kindness in our hearts."

Zhang Jiaojiao also stepped forward and said with a firm look in her eyes:

"Sister Li Luo, you are my role model. I want to be as brave as you and help others in the future."

Li Luo looked at the little girl with a little admiration in his eyes and said:

"Okay, I'm counting on you!"

As she spoke, she patted Zhang Jiaojiao on the shoulder.

The force was neither light nor heavy, but it seemed to carry some kind of encouragement and expectation.

Then she waved to everyone and turned to leave.

A family of four chased out the door with flashlights, and the four rays of light intertwined to illuminate the way ahead for Li Luo.

They stood there quietly, their eyes closely following Li Luo's figure.

The light shone on her body, casting a long shadow.

The shadow seemed to be endowed with life, dancing in the darkness, as if telling of her bravery and justice.

The night wind blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but also making people feel extremely safe.

Zhao Lei stared at the direction where Li Luo was going away, his eyes full of admiration.

Qiu Lan held the flashlight tighter, as if she wanted to use the light to illuminate a farther road for Li Luo.

Zhang Jiaojiao bit her lip and secretly swore in her heart that she would become someone like Li Luo in the future.

Father Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, "This child is such a rare good person."

Only when Li Luo's figure completely merged into the darkness and no trace of him could be seen did Zhao Lei support his old father and return to the yard with his wife and daughter.

While sighing at their family's good fortune and praising Li Luo's approachability, they carefully locked the gate of the yard.

"I was really scared today, luckily I had Captain Li." Qiu Lan said with lingering fear, a trace of fear still remaining on her face.

Zhao Lei frowned and said seriously, "Indeed, we were lucky this time. We must strengthen our precautions in the future and not be so careless again."

The old father sighed and said, "Alas, I didn't expect that this Eternal Night period would be so unpeaceful."

At this time, Zhang Jiaojiao quietly pulled Qiu Lan's clothes and whispered, "Mom, can you sleep with me tonight? I'm a little scared."

Qiu Lan tapped Jiaojiao's nose, held her gently in her arms, and said with a smile:

"Silly girl, didn't you just say that you wanted to be as brave as Sister Li Luo in the future?"

Zhao Jiaojiao blushed and muttered softly: "It's not the future yet."

Zhao Lei came over, gently rubbed his daughter's hair, and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, baby. Mom and Dad are here and won't let you get hurt."

Zhang Jiaojiao nodded, and then said as if she had made up her mind:

"I'm not afraid anymore, I want to sleep alone!"

After that, she supported Father Zhao and walked into the house, "Grandpa, I'll take you back to the house first!"

"Oh, our Jiaojiao has grown up! What a good child!"

.........

After the grandfather and grandson left, Zhao Lei carefully checked the lock of the yard gate.

After making sure it was locked tightly, he slowly walked around the yard.

He looked sharply, not missing any corner, and confirmed that there was nothing unusual, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Lan checked the doors and windows of all the houses.

She gently pushed the window frame, frowned and said:

"This window is not very strong. We need to find a way to reinforce it."

Zhao Lei just walked into the room at this time and said:

"I think we can add another layer of guardrail outside the window, which will be safer."

Qiu Lan responded: "Okay, I'll go find out where I can do this tomorrow."

As they talked, they went from the main house to the room next door that was used as a warehouse and checked the doors and windows there.

The couple returned to their room only after they were sure that there were no major problems.

The two of them lay back in bed for a long time without speaking, both still thinking about the unusualness of tonight.

Fortunately, the two thieves we encountered today were just two. Even if they succeeded, the loss would be acceptable.

But what if those fugitives came this time?

When he thought of this, Zhao Lei felt a chill on his back and cold sweat kept pouring out, instantly soaking his clothes.

He took a deep breath, broke the silence, turned to his wife lying beside him and said:

"Alan, I just checked it carefully, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that our defense measures are not good enough."

His voice was filled with anxiety and worry. "Well, when you go to the store tomorrow, buy some more construction materials. I'll go find the construction team and we'll renovate and reinforce the house. We must not let a dangerous situation like today happen again."

This time, Qiu Lan did not hesitate and immediately nodded and said:

"Okay!" After a pause, she continued, "Hey, this money really can't be saved! If I had known earlier, I would have listened to you when the house was being repaired and spent more money to renovate it. This wouldn't have happened today."

After hearing this, Zhao Lei unconsciously tightened his arms around Qiu Lan.

His eyes were filled with guilt, and his voice was a little deeper. "Alan, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. It's all my fault for being incompetent and making too little money. I made you and the child suffer with me, and I always worry about money."

After hearing this, Qiu Lan glared at Zhao Lei in a reproachful manner, reached out and gently patted his chest, and said:

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are the pillar of our family. You have sacrificed so much for this family. In my heart, you are the best and most powerful man in the world! Our family is together, safe and harmonious, which is better than anything else!"

As she spoke, she leaned closer to Zhao Lei's arms, her face full of determination and dependence.

Her thoughts unconsciously went back to the days when the end of the world had just arrived.

Everything that happened at that time was simply a nightmare.

There is chaos and despair everywhere, order has collapsed, and the ugliness of human nature is fully exposed in the desperate situation.

But it was Zhao Lei who dragged his entire family and took them all the way from the neighboring city X to city N.

The hardships along the way were beyond words.

Sometimes food was scarce and they had to move forward on an empty stomach, but Zhao Lei always left his share of food for his family and endured the hunger himself.

No matter what difficulties and obstacles he encountered, Zhao Lei used his body to protect his family from the wind and rain.

Even after arriving at the Jinling base, Zhao Lei did not slack off at all.

He goes out to work early and comes back late every day. No matter how hard or tiring the work is, he takes it without hesitation, just to earn a little more money and give his family a better life.

Not long ago, he opened a small shop with the money he had saved up through hard work.

Although it is not big, it is a new hope for their lives.

of course!

Qiu Lan has also paid a lot.

Although she didn't work outside, she kept the house in tidy order inside and out.

Although 15-year-old Zhang Jiaojiao no longer needs constant care like she did when she was a child, Qiu Lan is always concerned about her daughter's growth, taking care of her food and drink, and worrying about her health and studies.

The main person to be taken care of is still Mr. Zhao.

Now he is 70 years old, and although he is still in good health, he has difficulty walking.

When Zhao Lei was away from home, Qiu Lan would carefully prepare appropriate meals for Zhao's father every day, help him wash and dress, and chat with him to relieve his boredom.

Even in the most difficult moments before, Qiu Lan never thought of giving up on Father Zhao.

You know, in this last days, it is not uncommon for relatives and friends to be abandoned.

But their family always sticks to each other, upholds the glory of humanity, and never abandons or gives up on their family.

It is also because of this that they were able to go from being extremely poor in the beginning to having enough food and drink now.

If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before they become a well-off family and live a more stable and happy life.

.........

at the same time.

the other side.

Li Luo finished inspecting the last area with a slightly tired step.

She raised her wrist and looked at the watch. The hour hand had quietly pointed to the early morning.

"Time flies by so fast." Li Luo whispered to himself, with a hint of weariness in his voice.

As she spoke, she stretched her body and stretched herself, as if to shake off all the fatigue in her body.

She raised her head slightly, looked at the dark night sky, and thought about the next arrangements in her mind.

After a moment, she decided to take a break before continuing.

So, she wandered through the quiet streets like a ghost, looking for an empty corner.

Finally, she found the ideal place in a narrow alley.

Li Luo stopped and looked around vigilantly.

After making sure that there was no trace of anyone around, she concentrated her mind, moved her mind, and her figure disappeared instantly, flashing into the space.

Because he hadn't had time to eat dinner, Li Luo's stomach was growling with hunger.

Once she returned to the space, she hurriedly went nowhere but went straight to the restaurant.

Once inside the restaurant, she went to the bar.

Thinking that he would just eat it himself, Li Luo didn't want to make it too complicated.

She skillfully opened the interface of the Food Workshop and quickly ordered a teriyaki chicken burger set meal of the same style as McDonald's.

Almost instantly, a steaming teriyaki chicken burger, a large serving of golden and crispy French fries, and a cup of fragrant lemon black tea appeared in front of her.

The burger bun was soft and the chicken was fragrant.

The French fries are plump and have attractive colors.

The tea aroma and fruity aroma of lemon black tea are intertwined, making you salivate.

Li Luo carried the tray, walked lightly to the dining table, and sat down slowly.

Next to the dining table was an extremely spacious window, which was now wide open.

At this moment, it was exactly noon in the space when the sun would be shining brightly in the sky tomorrow.

The golden sunlight shines unreservedly on the azure blue sea like a gem, and the waves sparkle like countless tiny diamonds shining brightly.

The waves beat gently on the beach, and in the distance, a few seagulls were flying freely in the sky.

The sea breeze, with a salty taste, blew over in waves, gently ruffling Li Luo's hair.

However, Li Luo was very hungry at the moment and had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

She quickly picked up the ketchup on the table, carefully squeezed some into the burger, then squeezed some into the dipping sauce dish. Then she picked up the burger with satisfaction and took a big bite.

After swallowing a mouthful, Li Luo narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and muttered to himself incoherently:

"That's what it smells like!"

In this way, Li Luo ate with relish while looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window from time to time. His mood gradually relaxed, as if all the fatigue and stress disappeared at this moment.

"Space, oh, space, what would I do without you!" she couldn't help but sigh sincerely.

During this period of eternal night, it was dark everywhere, with no natural light at all.

And here there is such a pure land where she can enjoy a moment of peace and beauty.

It’s so happy, isn’t it!
