"Brother Yang, you're buying a villa!"

Chen Qian's eyes sparkled as she looked at the screen of Li Yang's phone. She couldn't help but touch the hand Li Yang had placed on her chest and asked sweetly.

"A detached villa is quiet to live in, and they're not expensive in Heyang City. Buying one will be comfortable."

Li Yang smiled and turned to look at Chen Qian's face, full of collagen, pressing against him. He opened his mouth and nibbled on her red lips, making Chen Qian squint her eyes. After a moment, he released her again. "How about it? Do you want to live in a villa with me?"

"Yes!"

Chen Qian nodded her head like a rattle drum. She took Li Yang's other hand and actively placed it where Li Yang liked to touch. She turned and wrapped her arms around Li Yang's neck, her eyes as soft as water. "Are we buying it as soon as we go back?"

"We'll buy it when we go back. I've scheduled viewings for a few. We'll see which one is better then and take that one."

Li Yang smiled and nodded. Then he thought for a moment. "Tomorrow, you stay here and rest well by yourself. I have some things to take care of. If there's nothing else, we'll have our fun and head back the day after tomorrow or the day after that."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in bed tomorrow. I won't go anywhere."

Chen Qian looked at Li Yang with affectionate eyes, but she had seen too much scenery today. She didn't dare to make any further moves, only daring to make some small gestures before wrapping her arms around Li Yang's neck and falling asleep.

The next day.

Li Yang woke up early. He and a yawning Chen Qian ate the breakfast delivered to their room. After saying goodbye to her, he drove back to his residence alone.

After playing for these two or three days, he felt it was enough. Also, the desire to buy a house in Heyang was driving him to want to return to Heyang. So, he planned to go back first, pack his belongings, play around today, and then depart for Heyang tomorrow.

"It's time to prepare some equipment early."

Li Yang thought to himself. While waiting at a red light, he glanced at the information on his phone's shopping app.

[Agricultural drone, payload 400 jin, for spraying pesticides...]

[DJI Inspire 3...]

[Tactical self-defense stun baton...](High-power custom version)

[Headlamp]

[Bulletproof vest]

[Bulletproof helmet]

[Combat anti-stab vest]

[Combat boots]

"With these, it should be enough. When I get to Heyang, I'll buy a transport vehicle."

Li Yang pondered, then clicked on the real estate app and checked another property listing.

[Beside a big mountain, three-story house, with a hundred square meter courtyard, priced at 300,000]

"It's more than twenty kilometers from the city center, and it's next to a big mountain, with such a large courtyard..."

Li Yang decided in his heart that as soon as he went back and got packed, he would go and see this place. If it was suitable, he would buy this area.

As for what to do with it... it would be good for hiding something.

"A parallel world in 2071. Although I don't know why it suffered an apocalypse, it should... also have some advanced technology?"

Li Yang's thoughts raced. 2071 was the latest time mentioned on a paper employee attendance record he found when transporting gold from the gold store. It wasn't necessarily accurate, but it should be roughly correct.

If this was a parallel world, then undoubtedly, the technology there would be at least forty years more advanced than the Earth he was in... What kind of technological advancements would there be in forty years?

Of course, this wasn't certain, because this forty years was estimated by referencing Earth's current technological development trajectory. If the technological development trajectory of the Apocalyptic World hadn't experienced a technological explosion like Earth's... it would be hard to say.

Or... it could be even more advanced than he imagined.

He just didn't know if there were any surviving humans.

If there were, and the technology was very advanced, why were there still so many zombies that hadn't been cleared?

Or perhaps there were too few survivors, scattered in different places, not forming a system?

If there weren't...

"An uninhabited world."

Li Yang took a deep breath, suppressing these messy thoughts. What this world was like... he would know when he went to see it.

As his thoughts turned, the red light disappeared, and a green light appeared. Li Yang drove forward.

After a while, at the next traffic light intersection.

[Lin Shiyu: When are you coming back today? I took leave to rest at home.]

[Lin Shiyu: Leave slip picture]

"I'm on my way."

Li Yang looked at the message from Lin Shiyu, a smile on his lips. He gently tapped the screen a few times to reply to the message, then concentrated on driving, heading towards his residence.

Fortunately, Li Yang had a good sense of driving. Although he had only practiced for a few hours after buying the car before officially driving on the road, there were no problems along the way, and he drove with great confidence, allowing him to smoothly navigate through the city.

Tens of minutes later, he finally arrived at his residential complex. Li Yang parked the car downstairs, put his keys and phone in his pocket, and walked upstairs.

Soon, he exited the elevator and arrived at the door of his rental apartment. He opened the door and looked inside. Lin Shiyu, wearing a form-fitting, hip-hugging professional dress, revealing her long black-stockinged legs, was wearing slippers and sitting on the living room sofa looking at her phone.

"Li Yang, you're back, so fast."

When Lin Shiyu saw Li Yang enter, her eyes immediately curved into crescent moons. She quickly pulled back her outstretched black-stockinged legs, stood up, poured Li Yang a cup of tea, and brought it to his side. "You must be tired. Have some water."

Her full figure stood beside him as she moved, her curves filling his vision. A fragrant breeze, along with the tea she offered, wafted into his nostrils, making him involuntarily take a slight breath.

"Why the sudden day off today? Just to spend some time with me?"

Li Yang took the water, his gaze sweeping over Lin Shiyu from head to toe as he asked with a smile.

"Work is tiring anyway."

Lin Shiyu glanced upwards, responding with a smile. Then she followed up by asking, "Are you planning to move out? You haven't been back the past couple of days."

"Yes, I plan to move out first. This place is too small, it's inconvenient. I came today to pack up some things."

Li Yang's gaze lingered on Lin Shiyu's exquisite face, watching her seemingly smiling eyes. He nodded slightly and said.

"Ah, then let me help you pack! It's already ten o'clock. After we finish, I'll cook a few dishes. You can try my cooking for lunch."

Lin Shiyu let out an "Ah," her eyes showing a hint of being caught off guard. She knew Li Yang would definitely move out, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. She couldn't help but purse her lips, her toes tensing slightly, as she said to Li Yang.

"Sister Lin is cooking personally?"

Li Yang raised his eyebrows, his gaze lingering on Lin Shiyu's black-stockinged legs for a moment, then he smiled. "Alright, then I'll definitely try Sister Lin's cooking today."

"Do you prefer light or spicy food? I've prepared lots of dishes."

Hearing Li Yang agree, Lin Shiyu's lightly made-up face beamed with a smile, her eyes looking at him brightly.
