Fu Shinan stepped outside and only then realized that Professors Feng and Zhao were sitting in the left courtyard, quite far from her side. The two of them were whispering, as if afraid to disturb anyone. Chang’an and Nana were playing near the courtyard entrance, also at a distance from her.

“Where did everyone go? Why is it just you guys?” she asked, looking at the two children drawing circles on the ground.

Xiao Chang’an heard the commotion and immediately turned around, seeing that it was Fu Auntie. He smiled and said, “Auntie Fu, you’re awake! Uncle took everyone out, saying we should look for some supplies before leaving. He also specifically told us to keep it down! Don’t wake Auntie Fu up. Uncle is really good to Auntie Fu…”

Nana nodded in agreement, “Big brother told us to play at the entrance and not go near sister’s resting area, so as not to disturb her. Sister, did you sleep well?”

Upon hearing this, Fu Shinan felt warm inside. She had hardly slept at all last night and was indeed tired. She couldn’t help but reach out and ruffle their small heads, saying, “I slept well. You can play around freely.”

“Okay!” Xiao Chang’an happily led Nana into the nearby courtyard, finally able to bounce around.

Listening to the laughter of the two children, Fu Shinan suddenly felt that bringing Nana back was a good decision. She hadn’t expected that with Nana’s arrival, Chang’an would have a playmate too. While children needed adults around, they also needed peers. This was the same for both Chang’an and

Nana.

Seeing Fu Shinan getting up, Professor Feng beckoned her over, saying, “Shinan, come here.”

Fu Shinan walked over and nodded to Professor Zhao as a greeting.

Professor Zhao had a look of approval and said, “Truly a skilled surgeon, so composed and calm!”

Fu Shinan blushed slightly at the praise. “You’re too kind… By the way, what’s this about a radio you mentioned? Can those old -fashioned devices like radios still be used now that communication equipment isn’t functioning?”

Hearing this, Professor Zhao let out a sigh, “This story is quite lengthy… At the beginning of the apocalypse, Liang and I received a secret order to conduct research. It was in a sealed underground facility, and they had prepared enough resources for us. But we never expected it to be breached by zombies! The people sent to protect us suffered countless casualties in the fight against the zombies.”

Recalling the scenes from that time, Professor Zhao’s eyes filled with sorrow, and his voice choked up, “I never imagined that the people who died would turn into zombies themselves. They were different from ordinary zombies in terms of physical abilities and were even more aggressive. The underground facility couldn’t hold up, so two of my researchers sacrificed themselves to divert the zombies and protect our research. But they never returned… The remaining survivors didn’t give up, we continued our research. And now, as long as the experiments are successful, they won’t have died in vain. But we never anticipated the subsequent torrential rain, strong winds, and earthquakes… We lost half of our remaining people, and our equipment, food, and communication were all destroyed.”

Professor Zhao took a deep breath, suppressing his sadness, and continued, “With the remaining research results, we managed to escape to a civilian residence. While searching for supplies, we unexpectedly found an old radio. After tinkering with it, it actually worked! On the other end was a man named Dai Yong. He had been searching for surviving humans and said that nearly a thousand people had already gathered in Sui City. There were plenty of food and scientific equipment. We couldn’t contact our superiors, so we had no choice but to try our luck in Sui City. However, we encountered zombie attacks on the way, and they sacrificed themselves to protect this old man… In the end, only Xiao Liang and I survived.”

Thinking about this, Professor Zhao couldn’t help but shed tears. They were all such young children! They had all given their lives for the hope of humanity. Even if he died, he had to complete the research! He looked at Fu Shinan and said, “When Xiao Liang and I thought our car couldn’t move, we thought it was the end for us… Fortunately, we met Miss Fu and Mr. Ji. We really don’t know how to thank you enough!”

Watching Professor Zhao becoming increasingly emotional, Professor Feng also felt a sense of sorrow and couldn’t help but console him, “There are many people in the world who are willing to sacrifice themselves for science. They are all heroes.”

Fu Shinan could empathize with Professor Zhao’s ordeal, as the journey they had undertaken was far from easy for anyone. Without her system or the assistance of the formidable Ji Zan, the number of sacrifices would have been much higher between them. Now, faced with the grieving old professor, she moved her mouth but didn’t know how to comfort him, as at this moment, all words seemed inadequate..
