Recap: our ML (QY’s) team has cleared the mission, and have returned to their base. LH has taught QY cultivation, and has now joined the team. JS was demoted to a 3rd class logistician, but managed to keep his value by attributing his rebirth knowledge to precognition ability. PR was a sinister black lotus person who managed to trick MF into abandoning his lover, JS. JS now wants vengeance and wishes to hug QY’s thighs. QY was revealed to be W base’s de facto leader.

The predecessor of W survivor base was a colossal army base located in W military region. The W Military Region was the largest military region in China at that time. It had the greatest army base under its jurisdiction. It was extensive in scale and could accommodate tens of thousands of people. After the advent of the apocalypse, the troops stationed there had also been infected. It’s just that the soldiers were disciplined, and the infected people put a bullet into themselves at the last minute. Therefore, even in the most chaotic period of time, the army base was still in good order and all kinds of facilities were well preserved.

Ultimately, only a few hundred remained of the ten thousand troops stationed here. And more than half of these few hundred people came from jian dao special forces. Before Qin Yi retired, he had served in the jian dao squadron. He was the head of the army, the spiritual leader of the whole jian dao squadron. Even after his retirement, no one could fill his shoe for a while.

After the apocalypse arrived, Qin Yi was worried about the comrades-in-arms who followed him with their lives on the line, took in a group of retired comrades, and tried every means to return to the W base. Later, the W Survivor Base was gradually developed with jian dao squadron as the foundation.

As the founder of the base, the jian dao squadron occupied the best part of the base. In the erstwhile W Army base, there was a block of bungalows for the senior family members to live in. This area had a three-storey building with a small courtyard.

In Qin Yi’s small building, the few people he had a close relationship with him in his group, were staying. Qin Yi had a strong sense of territory and lived alone on the third floor.

Now in the small building, Lu Heng was a new resident.  Jiang Sile, who was responsible for logistics, wanted to lead Lu Heng to the second floor, but heard Qin Yi say, “Wait a minute, isn’t the second floor filled up?”

“Pan Rongxi’s roommate recently transferred to the dao san squad as team leader, and the bed just freed up.” Jiang Sile answered.

Pan Rongxi? In fact, by letting Lu Heng be Pan Rongxi’s roommate, he could also pay more attention to the latter, this was killing two birds with one stone. But Qin felt inexplicably discomfited at the thought of Pan Rongxi’s fair skin, delicate and weak manner, and his soft voice.

“No, he will live next to me.” Qin Yi said, “It’s a waste to leave the room empty.”

All the people present looked at each other the moment boss Qin said that it was a waste to leave the room empty. Two of them were anxious enough to hold their heads and start crying. For quite some time, there had not been enough room. They had to squeeze two men of 1.8 meters into a single bed for several months. They never saw Mr. Qin give up a room on the third floor.

Qin Yi did not care what these people thought. He happily led Lu Heng to the third floor. How can you keep your cat by someone else’s side?

Qin Yi pushed open the door adjacent to his room: “This will be your room from now on.”

After thinking about it, Lu Heng familiarized himself with the modern facilities in the adjacent room. In the apocalypse, there was no television network or anything like that. The most modern would probably be the electric lights and bathrooms.

Qin Yi led Lu Heng into the bathroom and showed him how to use the shower and toilet. Seeing Lu Heng staring at the faucet with some novelty, he explained with great care: “This water flows in from the reservoir in the base through the pipeline. Every day, the reservoir has water-based ability users supplementing the clean water, so don’t worry about running out.”

“You’ll take a shower later and change into clean clothes to rest.” Qin Yi said, but looked at Lu Heng embroidered with delicate moired clothing. Lu Heng’s manner of dressing, on the way back, made him baptized by countless people’s gazes. Qin Yi had a faint feeling of having his pet cat being peeped at by others.

Qin Yi had always been the kind of person who took action.

Lu Heng was bewildered while holding a pile of clothes. Just now the man hurried out of the room and soon came in again and stuffed him with a pile of clothes.
