166: I'm sticking with you for life!
The Three Building Owners had just relayed the good news, and all three buildings exploded with excitement. "Really? That's great! Go, go, hurry up and pack your things."
"Sign me up, I want to go."
"Don't forget me, I want to go too. Finally, someone has come to save us, waah~"
"Grandson, we're saved! We're going to live a good life."
Many elderly people packed their things overnight.
Similarly, Si Nan passed the news to Bai Zichuan, Song Yuan, and the others: "Decide quickly so I can sign you up."
Bai Zichuan immediately gave a definite answer: "The four of us will follow you, Sister Nan, for the rest of our lives. We're not going anywhere. We'll take responsibility for our own lives and deaths!"
Song Yuan gave his answer almost at the same time as Bai Zichuan: "Not going. Except for you, Sister Nan, the three of us don't trust anyone else."
Ma Bufan: "Not going, not going. In this life, I, Ma Bufan, am Sister Nan's in life and her ghost in death."
Si Nan: "---"
Siblings Guan Xiaowen and Guan Xiaoning: "We're sticking with Sister Nan and going nowhere."
The Security Sister: "Are you kidding? This big sister likes you, Little Nan. Even an eight-man sedan couldn't carry me away."
Professor Xu: "My granddaughter and I like this pastoral life."
Si Nan smiled. "Good. Once you've decided, don't regret it."
Everyone in Yunshu Mountain Villa: "We won't regret it for the rest of our lives!"
"Hahaha, good." Si Nan laughed heartily.
Si Nan then asked Gu Jie, Zhuo Guangshun, Deng Jiude, and the others, "It's your turn to decide. A rescue opportunity like this is rare."
Gu Jie consulted his five subordinates: "I'm staying. What about you guys?"
The five answered in unison: "We're staying too. We're not going anywhere. This place is our home now."
Gu Jie smiled. "Good brothers. We'll share the blessings and the hardships for a lifetime!"
"Share the blessings and the hardships for a lifetime!" The six men gave their answer: "Not going!"
On the other side, Deng Jiude said, "Let's go. Let's go to the Safety Zone. That little girl Si Nan clearly doesn't like us, so let's not stay here and be an eyesore. Besides, life here is precarious. Over time, we'll go back to not knowing where our next meal is coming from. At least the Safety Zone is safe."
"But—" Zhuo Guangshun was reluctant to leave.
Deng Jiude started cursing immediately: "Are you still reluctant to leave that little girl? She has a Boyfriend now; you don't stand a chance. "
Let's go, come with me to the Safety Zone. With our abilities, we can make it anywhere. Why stay here and work like slaves while being despised?"
Zhuo Guangshun looked at Si Nan's courtyard, considered for five minutes, and finally gave up. "Alright, I'll go to the Safety Zone with you."
Si Nan wasn't surprised to receive their reply and simply replied with a "Good."
Once adults make a decision, they must act. Many people began packing their things in a frenzy of joy, but no one was happier than Si Nan and Luo Sen.
Si Nan: "That's great. Those troublesome elderly, weak, sick, disabled, and pregnant people are finally leaving."
She quickly notified Ji Yan, telling him not to pick up that group of rich second-generation kids. They had run into them while searching for supplies, and they were all dead. She asked him to bring a few more helicopters to her Residential Area to pick people up.
Luo Sen's lips curled into a smile: Leave quickly, leave quickly. Let all the eyesores go. He preferred the Residential Area with only him and Nan Nan, with no one to disturb them every day. Excellent!
That night, some were excited, and some cried.
The next day, the weather was in their favor. The snow that had been falling for a long time finally stopped, and the long-lost sun came out. This made the survivors, who had gathered early at the Residential Area's square, extremely happy.
When the roar of the helicopters arrived, cheers erupted within the Residential Area. Six helicopters flew in side-by-side overhead; three of them flew off to pick up other survivors, while the remaining three landed steadily on the square.
Ji Yan stepped off the first helicopter and immediately saw the prominent figures of Si Nan and Luo Sen at the front of the crowd. "Jian Bing, come down quickly. Your Apprentice is already here to welcome you."
Si Nan held a bouquet of dried flowers, which were used for decoration in her home. She had cleaned them last night. She walked over and handed the dried flowers to Jian Bing with a smile. "Welcome, Master."
Jian Bing had just stepped down when he received his Apprentice's warm welcome. He was so moved that he almost hugged Si Nan regardless of the setting. "Old Ji said you were doing well, but I didn't believe it. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I believe it."
No excessive words were needed; this simple sentence said it all.
Jian Bing politely took the flowers and looked Si Nan up and down. The little girl from before had grown into a young woman. She was truly beautiful, and her Boyfriend was also very handsome; they were a good match.
Luo Sen took the initiative to reach out his hand. "Welcome. I am Luo Sen, Nan Nan's husband."
"Husband? You're married? But I don't have a decent gift to give—" Jian Bing laughed awkwardly, quickly mentally cataloging his belongings. It seemed he had nothing besides the crate of weapons he had brought.
"Hahaha, don't listen to him. We're not married yet. He hasn't even brought out anything decent to propose to me with. Come on, Master, I'll host a welcome feast for you."
"What about me? You don't want me?" Ji Yan hurriedly ran over. After working hard for half the night, he hadn't even had a full meal yet.
Si Nan found it funny. "Of course I'll invite you, but aren't you on a mission—"
"Go, go, go. You still have to eat even on a mission, right? It's not too late to carry out the mission after eating. We've been flying from the middle of the night until noon; we're exhausted." Ji Yan interrupted Si Nan and pulled her and Jian Bing toward the open space.
The subsequent matters were left to others—arranging the headcount and checking everyone's luggage. There was too much stuff; everyone had pots, pans, clothes, and quilts. A helicopter like theirs couldn't carry many people with all that, so they had to streamline the load.
Meanwhile, as Ji Yan and Jian Bing walked, they expressed their confusion. "It's strange. Why is it that only your Residential Area has no Zombies?"
Si Nan curled her lips and pointed at the sturdy, towering walls. "Aren't these blocking them? If they could still get in like this, then we really wouldn't be able to leave the house."
Ji Yan and Jian Bing both looked at Luo Sen. "Is this his doing? I heard he's a very impressive expert in this field."
Luo Sen indifferently gestured for the two to look ahead. "Whether I'm impressive or not, please look at Nan Nan's little courtyard."
"What?" Ji Yan and Jian Bing suddenly looked ahead. The two men excitedly slapped the indestructible gate of Si Nan's home. "My god, is this even a door? This is clearly an airtight, reinforced steel vault. Good heavens, what foresight."
Jian Bing also couldn't believe it. "I was wondering how you safely survived the Zombie outbreak, Si Nan. So this is why."
Si Nan, however, remained calm. "Actually, if we're talking about foresight, it was my father. This house was prepared for me and my mom by him."
"Back then, he was always on business trips, flying all over the country. Sometimes I wouldn't see him once a month. When we lived in our first house, a thief broke in at night. That thief had a weapon, and it scared me and Mom half to death."
"Stealing things wasn't the main concern, but what if he had been a murderer or a pervert?"
"So after that, my father suddenly stopped going on business trips. He spent a year buying this house and then rebuilt it himself. Every brick and tile here was laid by my father's own hands, so I cherish it exceptionally."
"It's just that after my father passed away, I hated this house intensely. I felt that if it weren't for building this house, my parents wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have—"
"It's okay now. Everything is fine. You have me from now on." Luo Sen took the opportunity to pull Si Nan into his arms.
