167: This isn't a house, it's paradise!

Luo Sen took the opportunity to pull Si Nan into his arms.

"Yeah, of course I have you. As my man, your primary task is to stand by my side. Alright, let's go inside. Today, Luo Sen will show off his skills for you all."

Si Nan's face broke into a smile in a second. She pushed Luo Sen away and even sold him out.

"Hahaha, good. I love being treated to good food." Ji Yan wasn't polite at all. Upon entering, he opened the two large boxes of equipment he was carrying for Si Nan and Luo Sen to see.

"Back there, I thought for a long time and realized I didn't have anything to give you. Let's be practical. Jian Bing and I will each give you a box of equipment for your survival."

Inside were all advanced weapons. Si Nan loved the gift. "Hahaha, there's no better gift than this. Thank you, dear uncles."

"Goodness, don't call us uncles! Call us brothers. 'Uncle' makes us sound old." Ji Yan and Jian Bing both disagreed.

"Hahaha, alright, alright, big brothers. You've got quite the nerve." Si Nan laughed heartily, feeling as if she were back in her childhood when her uncles never forgot to make her happy.

After the two finished touring Si Nan's house, they simply didn't want to leave. "Goodness, this isn't a house, it's heaven!

To be honest, this house is safer than our Barrier City. Not to mention living people—even if Jian Bing and I teamed up, we wouldn't be able to break in."

Jian Bing looked at Ji Yan as if he were an idiot. "The two of us? You're joking. Not even a platoon could break in; it would take at least a regiment. But looking at her equipment, even a regiment might struggle."

Si Nan was helpless. "Are you two for real?"

"Hahaha, it's just a metaphor. Seeing this house, I'm completely at ease." Ji Yan nodded, his last bit of doubt gone.

Luo Sen brought the soup out first and exchanged a look with Si Nan: That Yunshu Mountain Villa would probably take three regiments, hahaha~

Si Nan also replied with an expression that said: Three regiments would only be enough to look at it.

The two were silently sharing secrets when the sharp-eyed Jian Bing noticed. "You two, stop hiding things. What other secrets do you have? Just tell us everything at once."

Jian Bing felt that Si Nan and Luo Sen were both familiar and strange, and mysterious. The feeling they gave off was hard to describe.

Si Nan's eyes widened, marvelling at the sharp intuition of the special forces. Her eye contact with Luo Sen could be guessed almost perfectly. Could they not even have small secrets?

She said helplessly, "What small secrets could we have? It's just that while searching for supplies yesterday, we accidentally found a Rocket Launcher."

"What? You can even find that? Quick, bring it out for your uncle to see. Let me see if it's an antique. Don't say it, blasting zombies with this is extremely satisfying. This is part of our mission equipment; how could you find one?"

Ji Yan was greatly shocked and couldn't wait to see the Rocket Launcher.

Si Nan pretended to walk back to the bedroom and took a Rocket Launcher out of her space for Ji Yan to inspect, covering up her other secrets.

"Oh my, this is one of the most advanced ones. A real treasure. Si Nan, where did you find this?" Ji Yan shook his head in envy, unable to put it down. Soldiers loved firearms, especially heavy ones with incredible destructive power.

Si Nan didn't hide this from them. "A weapon shop. The big head and big ears owner was too lecherous, so we killed him. This was part of his private stash."

Ji Yan lamented, "Sigh, every city has places where the sun doesn't shine, and City A is no exception. This Rocket Launcher has no markings; it's definitely black market goods. Since the world has changed, it's back on the right path now that it's in your hands, girl."

"Mm-hmm, I won't use it unless absolutely necessary. Unless the zombies and Zombie Beasts evolve too ridiculously and I really can't win, then I'll use it." Si Nan also promised.

"That's good." Ji Yan returned the Rocket Launcher to Si Nan and warned her to be careful when using it, as the recoil was very strong.

Jian Bing was also worried. "As a girl, it's more appropriate for you to use a small handgun. Leave that for the men, lest it blows you away."

"Of course, I'll leave it for you and Luo Sen." Si Nan smiled with curved lips. If she were truly obedient, she wouldn't be Si Nan. She didn't dare say there were several more in her space.

Just then, Ji Yan remembered. "Oh, I almost forgot. In the side pocket of the box, there's a gift from Specialist Meng for me to hand over to you. Remember to take it out."

"Okay, I'll remember." Si Nan's heart raced. She forced herself to suppress her excitement. They brought it, they brought it. The immune serum has been brought.

Soon, several other companions arrived, all of whom were Ji Yan's right-hand men trained by him personally.

Si Nan felt embarrassed to make so many people wait for a meal. She ran into the kitchen, closed the door, and took out about ten ready-made famous dishes from her space, plating them and bringing them out.

"It's coming, it's coming! Everyone, wash your hands and eat. The water is ready; it's in the hallway by the door."

Ji Yan wiped his hands on his clothes and said, "Let's skip washing hands, shall we? To save you some water."

"Wash them! You're not allowed to eat if you don't. There's plenty of water. Look, there's plenty in the well outside." Si Nan's beautiful face showed a look of 'anger,' and the two men both looked at the courtyard by the door.

The two were stunned for a long while. Suddenly, "Hahaha, girl, you're so wise to have dug a well in the courtyard! While others are fighting to the death for a drop of water, you have enough to drink for a lifetime."

Jian Bing could only shake his head with a smile. "Coming here was the best decision. I feel so happy; it's like a blessing in disguise."

"Exactly! You old dog, you've got good luck. You can enjoy a peaceful life from now on, while we still have to go through hails of bullets as always." Ji Yan patted Jian Bing's shoulder like a good buddy, dying of envy.

But he had duties he couldn't neglect. The Barrier City was also very good.

"Come, let's work together to welcome the day we overcome this disaster and all enjoy a peaceful life." Si Nan raised her cup.

"Definitely. Let me say this first: every one of us must survive until the end." Ji Yan raised his cup high, waiting for everyone to clink.

"Definitely, survive until the end!"

"No breaking promises, survive until the end!"

Si Nan, Luo Sen, Jian Bing, and the other five clinked their cups crisply. Their eyes were filled with the desire for life, and all their convictions were in the drinks in their cups, which they downed in one gulp!

"Eat!"

"Right, eat!"

"Definitely, we must eat our fill. We came here just to get a free meal."

"Hahaha—" Ji Yan's words made everyone lose their composure, and the atmosphere became lively again. This meal was eaten heartily. They talked freely about life, reminisced about the past, and shared the bitterness, spiciness, sourness, and sweetness of it all. Only they knew the true taste of those moments.

After the meal, Ji Yan didn't stay any longer. He took the dinner and drinks Si Nan gave them and went to the plaza to organize the survivors' boarding.

Before leaving, Ji Yan hugged Jian Bing and told him, "Live well. The world has changed, and living isn't easy. Don't forget that this place is also a battlefield.

Since Instructor Si passed away, we haven't been able to help the girl. This great task is now entrusted to you alone. Protect her on behalf of all the brothers who worry about her.

And don't even think about slacking off. Let the girl help you find a wife and have a bunch of kids. I must see your kids the next time we meet, or I'll definitely give you a beating, hahaha~"
