What's wrong with being cold-blooded in the end times? Anyone who messes with my wife will die.

Fu Ying smelled a faint stench as she slowly drove into the courtyard of a commercial residential building called "Hexingyuan". The entire street was blocked by thick metal.

The exterior of this commercial residential building looked shabby and the interior was cold and gloomy. When the SUV entered the yard, two guards found something wrong and came forward to inquire.

"Where's the other car? Where's Mollys?"

"Moris and Li Han went to the Black Base for help and are now trapped there."

"What--??!"

A frail girl sitting in a wheelchair slowly approached the quarreling crowd from a distance. She had a pair of gloomy eyes, but the noisy people immediately fell silent after seeing her.

"Xiao Nuo, what should we do?"

The girl called Xiao Nuo clenched her fist and coughed, frowning slightly: "The Black Base let you go, but detained Lisi and Li Han?"

"Yes, those people knew we were going there for help, but that idiot Li Han grabbed the kid from the black base from a distance, angering their leader."

"He also cut off Li Han's arm. What should I do?"

“It seems like it can be put back.”

"Even if he can put it back together, he and Liz are already captives!"

"Xiao Nuo," one of the guards came over, squatted in front of her, and said gently, "Didn't you say that we will become part of the Black Base in the future?"

The girl coughed violently, and the guard covered her with his cloak: "We don't have time now. Soon, people from the European area will be here, and they will take away all the supplies we have collected with great difficulty."

“If that were all,” she said, “I’m just worried that they’ll kill everyone for the crystal.”

"The Black Base... ahem," Xiao Nuo's face was pale, but his brows were solemn, "They won't hurt Liz."

"What else did you see?" the guard asked, "Those people stole the supplies in the car."

"I... can't explain it clearly." Xiao Nuo shook his head, "I just saw a little... trace of the future. In short, Liz will get along well with them there."

"But when will that be?" the guard said patiently, "Liz only took Eric with her when she left. There are still many beasts in the building. If she leaves, they will be out of control--"

"No." Xiao Nuo panted softly, holding her hand to calm herself down, "Someone will help us control it."

"Who?" the guard was puzzled.

Xiao Nuo looked at everyone and said with certainty: "She's here."

"What?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion, looking at Xiao Nuo, "Xiao Nuo, you didn't get enough rest, you should go back and recover your energy. Let's go out again and find some crystals."

Xiao Nuo nodded.

"We have to find supplies again. We don't have enough drinking water." said the guard.

"I see. Luckily we found a place with a lot of buckets of water before, and we didn't have time to move them away—"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up, lest someone else get there first—"

"Three people are enough, let's change to a motorhome..."

The guard stood up and said, "Then I will continue my patrol and let the others take you back."

"Sister Qiqi." Xiao Nuo suddenly grabbed her hand, with a bright light in his dark eyes, "We will all be fine."

"I know, no matter who is in that black base, what I have to do is to protect you first." Ye Qi comforted her, "If Mollys and Li Han can gain trust there, then we can move quickly."

Xiao Nuo didn't let go, Ye Qi lowered the brim of his hat and sighed.

"Okay, I'll push you back." She said, "You're not in good health. Even the physique of a superpower can't heal you. Don't be so willful and go out again."

"Sister Qiqi, it's cold in the room too."

"There's nothing we can do about it, Xiao Nuo. We don't have electricity, so we can only rely on An Zhui's fire to warm your room."

"I saw the lights on the black base."

"That means they have an electric-type esper."

Ye Qi pushed the wheelchair up the slope and slowly entered the white tiled floor.

Their figures flickered between sunlight and shadow.

"Sister Qiqi, why don't you go over this time?" Xiao Nuo suddenly asked.

"I have to ensure your safety." Ye Qi said, "Besides, we can't reveal all our trump cards to them, right?"

Xiao Nuo smiled gently: "Sister Qiqi, maybe it will work wonders if you go there."

"What kind of miraculous effect? ​​Fight with them and then make peace?"

"Haha... cough cough cough..." Xiao Nuo started coughing while laughing. Ye Qi patted her back and said with a bit of worry: "We should find some nutritional supplements for you."

"No matter how much I eat, it won't work, Sister Qiqi." Xiao Nuo said frankly, "I was born with developmental dysplasia. Even after awakening my superpowers, I couldn't repair my spinal nerves. I won't walk if I can't."

"It's just that I've caused trouble for Liz and you guys. You've been taking care of me all the time. It's been very hard."

Ye Qi pushed her into the room. The bed inside was soft and dry, and a fire was burning silently in the middle of the room.

"But because you are here, we can survive the winter." Ye Qi said, "Don't worry, when there is a chance, I will take you to the island, where the climate is humid and warm, and you won't encounter a severe winter."

"I haven't been to an island yet. Is it very big?"

"It's not that big, probably half the size of Aito City."

"Wow, that's pretty good."

Xiao Nuo took off his cape, and Ye Qi opened a can of corn and heated it on the fire: "Do you want some green beans?"

"I want to eat watermelon." said Xiao Nuo.

Ye Qi laughed: "But we can't find watermelons now. Even if there are any, they would have rotted long ago. They can find some watermelon-flavored soda or candy to bring to you."

Xiao Nuo lowered her head and whispered, "But she can."

Ye Qi: "Hmm? What?"

Xiao Nuo raised his face and stared at the door as if he was aware of something.

"She's here," she said softly.

Ye Qi put down the can and stood in front of Xiao Nuo, with a few playing cards in his palm ready to go: "Who's there?"

"Here." She felt a chill on her throat, and a cold female voice sounded in her ears.

"Hello, Ye Qi."
