After his son returned safely, Gong Yuanhang felt relieved. He took his son back to his room and checked him up and down, left and right.
"Dad, I'm not hurt." Gong Lixin patted his father on the back to comfort him.
"I know you aren't injured. But I haven't seen you for two days and two nights. Dad hasn't seen you in two lifetimes. Shouldn't you let your Dad look at you a little?" Gong Yuanhang said lovingly as he patted his son's head.
"Oh, then look at me, Dad," said Gong Lixin as he unfolded his arms and happily ran two laps around Father Gong, making Father Gong laugh out loud. This son of his had not a single humorous bone in him, but his cuteness always brought joy and happiness to those around him. Even though he had been living outside and suffering during the apocalypse, this had not changed.

Father Gong was very happy. Compared to his daughter's cold and indifferent nature, his heart unconsciously favored his cute and lovely son.
Smiling, Father Gong looked forward to telling his son about Gong Xiangyi's prophecy and space ability. He was also happy that he could finally tell his son details about the zombies so that he would be prepared for future situations.
"Lixin, your sister has a space ability. Dad wants you to keep it a secret. If you let others know, your sister would be in danger. You sister didn't deliberately lose you this time. She also feels very guilty. I hope you don't hate her. You are brother and sister after all, and family should depend on each other. Do you understand?" [1]
Father Gong spoke slowly, his tone somewhat unnatural. His daughter had harmed her brother, but he still had to protect his daughter and advise his son to mend their relationship with each other, and to keep each other safe. It made his heart uncomfortable, but what could he do about it? He was still a man made of flesh and bones. He couldn't allow his children to turn against each other, and begin harming one another.
"Yeah, I know." Because of his father's request, Gong Lixin reluctantly agreed.
"Good boy." Looking at his son's clear eyes, he couldn't see any traces of resentment. Father Gong smiled and rubbed his head. He then said: "You're tired, go rest. Go call your Big Brother Song and Big Brother Lin before you sleep though. I have something to tell them."
"Alright." Gong Lixin nodded and went out to call Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran.

Going into the bathroom to wash away the grime from his body, Gong Lixin took out a set of casual clothes from the mountaineering bag he had brought with him. He then took out the crystal nucleus from his trouser pocket and studied it carefully.
The crystal nucleus was as big as a coin and it was shaped like a six-pointed diamond. There was no trace of impurities in the nucleus. It was practically crystal-clear under the light, and was more eye-catching than the purest diamond.
Gong Lixin lifted it up and studied it for a long time before he placed it on his palm. He quietly pushed a bit of internal force into it, but the crystal nucleus stayed a nucleus. There were no changes at all to the nucleus.
'Nothing happened?!' He was puzzled. Gong Lixin tilted his head and once more fixed his gaze on the nucleus in his palm.. After thinking for ten minutes, he finally stopped and hid the crystal nucleus underneath his pillow case after he heard Gong Xiangyi's footsteps approaching his room.
"Lixin, are you asleep? I want to talk to you." Gong Xiangyi asked as she knocked on the door.
