“Now, you have two people at Zijin Base who care about you—at least a little, right? You can’t forget about us! You promised me you would come back!”

Lan Yulian lifted her head, her eyes red as she spoke to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao kissed each of their foreheads.

“Don’t worry, I, Wang Tao, never go back on my word. Pay extra attention to your safety here; I’ll come back for you.”

“Mhmm! You also need to be careful!”

The two women said in unison.

“The things I left for you before, I told you to use them sparingly, but don’t be too thrifty. After all, we will see each other again soon…”

Wang Tao added.

Previously, he had left Lan Yulian many items, including various Crystal Cores, Potions, and so on.

“Mhmm!”

“The Level 3 Crystal Cores I left for you, use them if you need to. But for the other Crystal Cores, make sure to use an instrument to remove the side effects. Of course, the best case would be to save them up until I return…”

Wang Tao continued to instruct.

He felt his trip to the military base would be a short one. After all, from what he could tell, the military base was still very safe. Once he arrived, with his strength, or by offering some valuable items, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for a quick return flight, would it?

If he could take a plane, then places like Zijin Base and Red Stone Base would be within reach!

“Mhmm!”

The two women nodded again.

Then, Lan Yulian’s face suddenly took on a guilty expression.

“You left us so many great things, yet we have nothing to give you…”

Hearing this, Wang Tao smiled and spoke:

“You two are the best gifts Heaven has ever given me.”

Even though it might sound cheesy, at that moment, the two women loved hearing it. Lan Yulian’s gaze at Wang Tao seemed like it was about to overflow with emotion.

“Wang Tao…”

Lan Yulian hugged Wang Tao and acted affectionately for a while.

Lu Yingfeng was somewhat restrained, but naturally, Wang Tao ensured he treated them equally, pulling her into his embrace as well.

Then he decisively let go of both.

“Alright, I really must go now.”

“We’ll see you off.”

Today, indeed, it started to rain, although it wasn’t too heavy.

Wang Tao’s car was already parked outside. It was the same car Yang Changhong had given him. The car was already loaded with a lot of supplies, and Nie Siyan, Xu Xiaojun, and Jiang Shixue were all inside.

Last night, Jiang Shixue conveniently did not appear in Wang Tao’s room. She had become sensible!

“Wang Tao, I really wanted to go with you, but… I can’t be so selfish. After all, there are so many survivors here, and I have to take responsibility for them. I’m sorry… If it’s too dangerous outside, remember to come back!”

Before getting into the car, Lan Yulian whispered to Wang Tao.

She wasn’t keen on power; she was just a person with a strong sense of responsibility.

If she hadn’t been the Leader of Zijin Base, it would be different, but now she had become the Leader of the entire Zijin Base, and she would definitely take up this responsibility. At the very least, she had to set the base on the right track.

With the base’s reforms just beginning, if she left, the base would not be able to operate. Only when she could ensure that the base could run smoothly without her, would she possibly consider leaving.

“Silly woman, what are you apologizing for? When I recommended you to be the Leader of Zijin Base, I knew you were suited for it. Since you have the capability, you should definitely use it! I’m not only not blaming you, but I’m also proud of you because of it!”

Wang Tao ruffled her hair.

For Wang Tao, leaving Lan Yulian here was like leaving a way out for himself. If he ever encountered any insurmountable dangers in the future, he would still have Zijin Base as an option.

Moved by his words, Lan Yulian felt even more emotional.

After another impulsive kiss with Wang Tao, she finally let go of him.

Wang Tao got into the car and sat in the back with Jiang Shixue. Xu Xiaojun drove, with Nie Siyan in the passenger seat.

Lu Yingfeng drove another vehicle, not bringing anyone else, and the two cars arrived at the entrance of Zijin Base in a very low-key manner.

Once outside, Wang Tao didn’t get out of the car. He rolled down the window and said to Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng:

“Jade Lotus, Little Feng, be safe, I’ll be back for you.”

“Mhmm!”

Rumble~

The SUV entered the rain and slowly disappeared from Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng’s sight.

Lan Yulian stared blankly in the direction Wang Tao left, and after a long while, her gaze became firm again.

“Let’s go back. We still have so many tasks. We’ll wait for him here!”

“Yes.”

Lu Yingfeng steered the vehicle, driving into the base.

At that moment, as if remembering something, Lan Yulian suddenly turned to Lu Yingfeng and said:

“By the way, move back in with me tonight.”

With Wang Tao gone, she would be lonely.

“…”

Lu Yingfeng’s face flushed with embarrassment.

If it had been before, she wouldn’t have minded sharing a bed with Lan Yulian. But after what happened the night before, she always felt awkward in front of Lan Yulian, not knowing quite how to face her.

“What’s the matter? After trying something better, you start to dislike me?”

Lan Yulian raised her eyebrows.

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

Lu Yingfeng’s face turned red.

“No? Then move in and wait for me tonight all clean and fresh! I never realized before how sensitive you were. Just a touch and… hmm hmm!”

Lan Yulian had a mischievous look on her face.

“…”

Lu Yingfeng’s face turned as red as a beet.
