Evening in the Living Room
On the Floating Island, in the living room, Yuto Saito and the others were looking at their phones, checking the news.
"Oh my God," Ni Shuang exclaimed. "I just saw a news article saying the zombies in the Northeast were cleared out at 6 PM, but the 100,000 troops involved were cut in half!"
"I didn't expect the situation there to be so bad," Natto said with concern.
Ruoruo agreed. "Yeah, I thought that with a hundred thousand troops, it should be easy to suppress the zombies."
Juzi added, "Even our Dragon Kingdom, with the largest military force in the world, can't sustain such losses."
Ruoruo was moved. "Brother Bing is so dedicated!"
Nako nodded. "Yes, they're protecting more people. If even they gave up, the Dragon Kingdom would truly be destroyed."
The Dragon Kingdom's military force ranked first in the world. After the apocalypse, even reserves and veterans participated in the war. The air force, navy, and army remained organized. Though some troops had been consumed, their combat power was still formidable. It was precisely because the Dragon Kingdom's army maintained order that Zhang Bafeng could send an assassin to X City, applying for a flight route for a private jet. You couldn't just fly a private jet wherever you wanted. If you didn't apply for a flight route and a reconnaissance plane found you, it would issue a warning, or even shoot you down directly.
When the apocalypse arrived, people were already panicking. If other countries sent in spies or assassins, it could easily lead to chaos. Imagine if air order wasn't maintained: individuals with malicious intent could fly private planes, dropping a dozen zombies into a city from the sky, repeatedly. The situation would quickly spiral out of control. Despite the Dragon Kingdom's soldiers working tirelessly to maintain order, several cities still fell. Killing zombies consumed a massive number of troops, and local prevention and control efforts gradually weakened.
After Hours
Yuto Saito looked at the time; it was past 9 PM. "Everyone rest early," he told the girls. "I'll head back to my room. Good night."
"Good night," the girls said in succession. Yuto Saito walked alone toward the stairs and returned to his second-floor room.
The women sat around the table on the sofa, looking at each other. Yun Yun looked at Ni Shuang and gave her a subtle hint. Ni Shuang shook her head. "Xiao Tutu might be tired today."
Yun Yun smiled. "With his strength, do you think he'd be tired?" According to Yun Yun's estimation, Yuto Saito now had at least 30 stars in combat power, and his physique was far superior to theirs. Others didn't know Yuto Saito had high-level experience pills, but Yun Yun knew he had guaranteed 5x experience pills, which allowed him to greatly improve talent levels and increase attribute points.
"Mina, come on!" Ruoruo said to Mina. "Don't be a coward."
Ni Shuang looked at Mina and smiled. "Mina, are you or Natto going?"
Mina looked at Natto with her beautiful eyes. "Natto, according to the serial number, you should go."
Natto was pleasantly surprised. "Me? No, it's better if you go first."
Mina stood up. "Then I accept." Hearing this, Natto was stunned; she had only been polite.
Mina walked upstairs, her slender waist swaying.
"I always thought Nako was brave," Juzi praised. "But I didn't expect Mina to be even braver!"
Nako said cheerfully, "There's still a lot you don't know."
Chen Xinyu, having just joined the team, looked at Yuqi when she saw this scene. Yuqi spread her hands; she didn't know what was happening, as she'd never witnessed this kind of situation before.
Mina's Visit
Mina went back to her room and changed into a sexy dress that flattered her figure. Afterward, she approached Yuto Saito's room. To Mina's surprise, Yuto Saito's door wasn't closed. It seemed Yuto Saito had expected someone to come. Even with the door open, Mina still stood there and symbolically knocked.
Knock, knock, knock.
Yuto Saito was sitting on the sofa in his room, looking at his phone. Hearing the knock, Yuto Saito looked up, saw it was Mina, and smiled. "Come in."
Mina walked into the room and closed the door. Approaching Yuto Saito, Mina whispered softly, "Brother Yuto Saito, I'm here to chat with you."
Yuto Saito looked at Mina's alluring figure and gestured. "Sit."
Mina sat beside Yuto Saito, placing both hands on his arm. Yuto Saito embraced her, saying affectionately, "Mina, you're not so timid after all."
Being held by the man she liked, Mina was secretly delighted. "What's wrong?" she asked. "You don't want me to come?"
Yuto Saito chuckled. "Of course I want you to come. I'm just surprised you managed to bypass Xiaoyun, Xiaoshuang, and Natto."
"I'm here because I like you," Mina said with a smile.
"What do you like about me?" Yuto Saito asked with interest.
Mina confessed, "I like that you're handsome, strong, and good to me. What about you? What do you like about me?"
Yuto Saito replied, "I like that you have a good figure and a gentle voice. And most importantly, you're naturally charming."
Mina smiled sweetly. She looked at Yuto Saito intently and slowly leaned closer. The two embraced tightly.
Night on the Island
In the living room on the first floor of the villa, the girls were still chatting.
Yun Yun said, "Everyone, let's work harder tomorrow to collect more spar and upgrade the Floating Island to Level 5 as soon as possible. If the Floating Island reaches Level 5, its area will be ten times larger than it is now."
Ruoruo rejoiced. "Ten times the area is great!"
Chen Xinyu said, "Being on the Floating Island feels like riding in a giant hot air balloon."
Natto smiled. "Xinyu, you haven't seen the clouds, have you? I'll let you take a look tomorrow and experience what a sea of clouds feels like."
"Okay, okay," Chen Xinyu said. "I've never seen a sea of clouds with my own eyes, only on TV."
"Alright, I'll show you tomorrow when I'm free," Natto said.
"Okay."
Yun Yun said, "Yuqi, there are many vacant rooms on the third floor. You can take Xinyu to choose one."
"Xinyu, you'll live in 306," Yuqi decided.
"Okay, I'll follow the arrangement," Chen Xinyu responded.
Yun Yun then asked, "Does everyone have food in their storage rings?" The girls nodded.
"Let's all rest," Yun Yun said. "We'll have breakfast tomorrow at 8 AM. If you get hungry, take some food out of your rings, or go downstairs and cook some instant noodles yourself."
"Okay," Ruoruo replied.
"I'm going to bed first," Yun Yun said. "Good night, sisters."
"Sister Yun, good night," Natto waved.
"Sister Yun, good night," the other girls echoed.
Yun Yun gracefully walked toward the stairs and returned to her room.
Juzi also said good night to the girls and returned to her room to rest. Once there, Juzi couldn't wait to use her Enhanced Hearing talent to check on the activity around her. Juzi really liked her Enhanced Hearing talent; she'd learned many secrets with it. When Juzi overheard the conversation between Yuto Saito and Mina, her eyes widened. "So, Brother Su likes this," she said to herself. Knowing what Yuto Saito preferred made Juzi feel more confident. Excited, Juzi continued to listen, a beautiful blush spreading across her delicate face.
On the sea surface, under the protective shield, the Floating Island remained still. The moonlight was beautiful tonight, and the Floating Island was peaceful.
