Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

”Alright then, let’s get a good night’s sleep and recharge our spirits to set off tonight! Let’s pack our things first,” Li Shilan added.

”Okay!”

The few of them went back to their rooms to pack, taking only some changes of clothes and small items that could be carried easily.

Ai Yue put all the bags they had packed into her space.

As for those large items, such as the bed, table, sofa, and coffee table that people had seen before, she didn’t take them. She left them all here to avoid raising suspicion.

Ai Yue didn’t have any particular feelings of reluctance toward this home. Since she came to the Safety Tower, she hadn’t spent much time at home, mostly being outside searching for supplies, gold, and jade.

So, saying she was leaving here didn’t bring any sentimental feelings; instead, she felt that leaving could help her avoid those annoying people, and she felt completely relaxed.

It was different for Ai Guosheng and his wife. After all, they had lived here for nearly two years, knew many people, and were familiar with every plant and tree in the base.

Ai Yue and Ye Rui soon fell asleep, but Li Shilan and her husband weren’t very sleepy. Once they left, it would be impossible to come back.

The two of them paced around the room for who knows how many laps, finally standing by the window and looking at the buildings faintly visible in the dark night, reluctant to leave for a long time.

Ai Yue was standing behind them, but they didn’t notice until she cleared her throat, startling them back to their senses.

”Dad, Mom, if you really can’t bear to leave this place, we won’t go. It won’t be too late to leave when we truly can’t stay any longer!”

Ai Yue looked at her parents and said softly.

Li Shilan held Ai Yue’s hands and smiled slightly, ”What silly things are you saying? Since we have to leave sooner or later, it’s better to leave early. Otherwise, what if we want to leave but can’t?”

”Right now, most of the people in the base seem like good people because we are somewhat useful and haven’t touched their interests. But if that day ever comes, will they still be so easy to talk to? By then, no matter how great our abilities are, we won’t be able to escape their grasp!”

Ai Guosheng also came over and patted her shoulder, saying, ”Yeah, let’s leave quickly while they’re off guard to save ourselves the trouble!

And don’t worry about the two of us. At our age, people easily get sentimental and like to stay in one place without moving. But we can still distinguish right from wrong. Don’t worry, once we step out of here, this bit of sentimentality will naturally dissipate.”

Ai Yue grinned at her parents, nodded, and gently hugged them. ”Then let’s go back and sleep for a bit. We have to set off in three hours!”

”Okay!”

Watching her parents enter the room and close the door, the smile on Ai Yue’s face gradually faded. How could she not understand her parents’ reluctant feelings?

But for the four of them to survive better in the Apocalypse, they had to leave!

Her whole family understood that no matter how powerful they were, they couldn’t go up against the entire Safety Tower.

Once Ai Yue’s space was exposed, the fate awaiting them could be well imagined.

So leaving this place was imperative!

...Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already one in the morning. The time to set off had arrived!

In the darkness, the four of them walked out of their rooms at the same time. Without making any light, they fumbled their way together.

They walked out of the house one after another. Ai Guosheng, who was at the very back, locked the door and caught up with the others in front.

The four of them silently climbed the spiral staircase upward.
