"I think, I should be fine now."

Bai Xiqin touched her smooth forehead, and a more intense green glow than that on Song Ning’s fingertips overflowed from her hand.

The glow instantly seeped into her body, quickly examining it all over.

Strong enough to take down ten Bai Yifans!

"It’s good that you’re fine!"

Leng Yebai let out a deep breath, reaching out a finger to gently tidy Bai Xiqin’s bangs.

This time, Bai Xiqin didn’t dodge; instead, she smiled warmly at him.

Tenderness filled Leng Yebai’s eyes. He knew Xiao Niu’s memory had returned; this heart-to-heart connection needed only a gaze to convey understanding.

"Has your superpower returned too, and your memory?"

Wang Yiyun’s face was lit up with a joyful smile as she grabbed Bai Xiqin’s hand, looking her up and down.

She found the bewilderment in Bai Xiqin’s eyes was indeed gone, turning into that of a daughter who remained calm amidst the apocalypse.

This meant her memory was back, and so were her superpowers.

If her superpowers had remained dormant, Wang Yiyun really would have been worried for Bai Xiqin’s safety.

Don’t be fooled by Bai Xiqin’s appearance of being a good girl; in reality, she’s as much a daredevil as Bai Yifan.

The siblings are both handfuls!

Of course, that’s what she thought, but the words spoken were different, only saying Bai Yifan liked to court death, sparing her daughter.

"Yeah, I’m back." Bai Xiqin smiled warmly, suddenly realizing that her memories were never fragmented; in them, she was still living with everyone, and she added, "No, I should say I was always here, just forgot some things, now I’ve remembered again."

Human research on the brain is still not very thorough; scanning the brain with a CT scan only reveals the surface.

Who knows how many neurons are inside the brain; their transmission is something that could never be fully understood.

After the Zombie King appeared, humans discovered that the human body can also control brainwaves.

Humans always have brainwaves, but they are uncontrollable and cannot be fully interpreted.

Bai Xiqin seemed to somewhat understand her state in space, but what exactly was the key factor was still unclear to her.

Perhaps, once these are understood, humans will understand how brainwaves can cross the past and return to the future, right?

"It’s good that you’re fine, it’s good!" Liu Jing rubbed her bleary eyes, somewhat moved.

The Bai Family has generally had smooth sailing until Leng Yebai turned into a zombie, after which they stopped being so carefree.

Unexpectedly, small mishaps still occurred, and Liu Jing, born with a strong heart, feared neither ghosts nor gods, respected neither heaven nor earth, now wished only for the god’s blessing for the Bai Family’s future safety and peace.

"It’s great that Xiao Niu is fine now, but still take care of yourself in the coming days." Song Ning said with a smile, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first."

He had just finished half his meal and needed to hurry back to finish the rest.

In times of scarce resources, food must never be wasted.

"Xiao Song, thank you so much for these past few days! Here, take this."

Wang Yiyun retrieved two cans of pork from the bus’s fridge and stuffed them into Song Ning’s hand.

No matter how hard Song Ning worked over these past few days, even if he was just scavenging crystal cores outside a minute before, he would still clean himself up and come over to treat Bai Xiqin’s injuries when the time came.

Regardless of his motive, his diligent and earnest attitude was commendable.

"This, I can’t accept, such a valuable item..."

Song Ning felt the weight in his hand and instantly saw what he was given.

Hefty cans of pork, and large ones at that.

With food increasingly scarce, many lands left abandoned, overgrown with weeds, and resources dwindling in abandoned supermarkets, finding canned goods like these has become rare.

Canned food has a long shelf life, can be eaten directly, and is exceptionally convenient for carrying. Should a mob of zombies or mutant animals attack, it’s a life-saving ration during escape.

Such canned goods are almost unseen in the black market; those who’ve gathered such resources keep them, let alone pork cans.

Definitely a treat!

"Just take it! Consider it Doctor Song’s fee for these days, don’t mind if it’s not much!"

Wang Yiyun once again pushed the cans over, displaying a demeanor that left him no choice but to accept.

"This, this is too much, I’m not that expensive."

Song Ning was stunned, still hesitant to accept.

Whenever he came to treat Bai Xiqin, the Bai Family gave him plenty of delicious food, even letting him take some home.

Those items are already extremely valuable in today’s times, let alone the extra crystal cores the Base Commander added to his salary this month for treating Xiao Niu. Accepting these cans would be excessive.

But Liu Jing and Wang Yiyun didn’t give him a chance to refuse, directly pushing both him and the cans down together.

Despite being a grown man, Song Ning couldn’t push back against the combined force of Wang Yiyun and Liu Jing.

After sending Song Ning off, Wang Yiyun locked the bus and secured all the windows from the inside, even though she knew it couldn’t be seen from the outside, before drawing all the curtains.

Once everything was ready, without needing any reminder, Bai Xiqin led Leng Yebai, Liu Jing, and Wang Yiyun into space.

The Bai Family’s men weren’t brought in because they were snoring soundly on the second floor.

"The air is still best in this space!"

Wang Yiyun took a deep breath, the fragrance of soil and various plants filling her nose, and she relaxed considerably.

A heavy stench always lingered in the air at the safety base, impossible to get rid of.

Not just Wang Yiyun, even Leng Yebai couldn’t help but take several deep breaths; the air outside was indeed unpleasant.

"Master! Finally, we can see you in person this time!"

Qin Yuan dashed to Bai Xiqin’s shoulder in a flash.

A ray of white light passed, and Water Python also rushed to Bai Xiqin’s other shoulder.

Taowu walked cat-like, also looking at Bai Xiqin with excitement, its unusual human face smiling with an extraordinary "tenderness".

"Master, you’re not gone?"

Taowu rubbed its head against Bai Xiqin’s hand, letting out a deep sigh of relief.

It and several small beasts in space learned to watch TV, not only Pleasant Goat but many other random things too.

Understanding humans can indeed "go", and once they do, they turn into ghosts.

They felt the master was in space, but they couldn’t see her, once believing she was gone.

But it didn’t dare speak it out because it feared the ghosts would haunt it.

Despite its intimidating "tenderness" and large build, it still feared ghosts~

The master as a ghost must be quite fierce.

"Who did you say is gone?"

Bai Xiqin, with a smile on her face, looked at Taowu cheerfully.

Taowu shivered, flinging its strange head, blurting out:

"I didn’t mean the master; I meant... Bai Yifan. I just thought he might be gone."

At this moment, mentioning Bai Yifan seemed like the safest answer.

"Master, don’t mind brainless Taowu, we’re starving!"

Water Python called out to Bai Xiqin but pitifully eyed Liu Jing.

After all, the master couldn’t cook—at least they hadn’t seen her do it.

"I want chicken stew with mushrooms!"

"Me too!"

Qin Yuan and Taowu said in unison.

They hadn’t had chicken stew with mushrooms for days, sick of eating only fruit every day.
