Chun Cao and Guo Weixiang, who were clueless, had the piece of chocolate, and Miss Wu Xinyan, who wasn't afraid of gaining weight, also came over to take a piece.

However, when Si Nan woke up with a yawn in the afternoon, he had completely forgotten everything. He stretched lazily and asked, "Where are the others?"

"They went ahead to search for supplies," Miss Wu Xinyan said while washing clothes, "Captain Zhou took more than ten people with him. When you fell asleep, they didn't wake you."

"Because I'm not part of their 118," Si Nan immediately said coldly.

Miss Wu Xinyan laughed, "You remember that so well for just a couple of words?"

Zhou Rong and the others had left one car behind by the river. Although the night had been dark and overcast, today turned out to be unexpectedly sunny, with the sunlight reflecting off the river in a glittering golden spectacle.

Miss Wu Xinyan hung the cleaned clothes out to dry, and nearby, everyone was tidying up their things and preparing dinner. It was a rare moment of peace in the post-apocalyptic world.

Si Nan got out of the car to stretch his limbs and took a deep breath of the cool early winter air. He noticed that Dr. Zheng was examining Yan Hao's wound while the lady held a baby and prepared to mix baby formula. There was no need to say that the full cup was for the injured person, and the half-cup was for the baby.

Si Nan watched the unopened can of baby formula that he had never had the chance to open along the way, feeling quite disheartened, knowing that he would never come across dairy products again on this journey.

After hanging the clothes, Miss Wu Xinyan went over to pick up the cup of milk for Yan Hao. She chatted with him for a while, covering her mouth and laughing with her hand.

Si Nan shook his head and massaged his sore neck, sighing very maturely.

These people...

At this moment, Dr. Zheng returned with a makeshift crutch made from a tree branch. He gestured to Yan Hao to take a couple of steps. Yan Hao, who was in some pain, tried to sit up, and Dr. Zheng couldn't help him up by himself. Miss Wu Xinyan wanted to help but was stopped by Dr. Zheng. Looking around, Dr. Zheng waved to Si Nan, "Comrade Xiao Si, can you lend a hand?"

Si Nan approached, and he could see that Yan Hao was smiling at him.

Si Nan tested the board strapped to his chest, "Can you walk without it getting misaligned now?"

Yan Hao called out softly, "Si Nan."

Dr. Zheng said, "It won't. The wound has been cleaned, and these clean-cut wounds are easily managed by their Alpha teams."

Si Nan didn't want to go bathing in the river, the aunties wouldn't allow him near the kitchen, and there was nothing else to do. So, he obediently helped Yan Hao by supporting his right arm along with Dr. Zheng. They slowly moved forward.

At this time, the grass was full on the slope, and the setting sun cast a golden light over the river. The towns in the distance seemed to melt into the golden water, creating a breathtaking view. Si Nan was not very talkative by nature, and Dr. Zheng was focused on Yan Hao, helping him sterilize and prepare boiling water. After a while, they both fell silent. Yan Hao softly cleared his throat.

"Si Nan."

"Yes?"

"At that time..." Yan Hao paused for a moment, sounding a bit complex, and asked hoarsely, "I think I heard you say that Ying Jie also survived, but I was a bit dazed at the time and didn't hear it clearly..."
