Chapter 1798 We are all one family

He specifically looked at Li Luo, Chu Yuanqing, and Shi Xinxin, adding, "Headquarters has prepared a dedicated rest area for you, fully equipped, so you can relieve your travel fatigue. We'll discuss the subsequent mission arrangements in detail in a meeting after you've all rested."

Upon hearing this, the team members' faces instantly lit up with genuine smiles, their eyes filled with emotion.

In the apocalypse, being able to eat a hot meal and get a good night's sleep is a luxury, and Xu Ying's thoughtful arrangements made them feel the warmth of family.

"Thank you, leader!" the team members responded in unison, their voices full of gratitude, and their previously heavy steps became much lighter.

Xu Ying smiled and waved her hand: "Don't be so polite with me, we're all family. Come on, I'll take you to the rest area."

With that, he took the lead and walked towards the rest area.

Lu Jingcheng, Li Luo, and the others followed behind him. The lights along the way stretched their shadows long and thin. The tension that had filled the underground space was gradually replaced by the joy of reunion and the sense of security of returning home.

The rest area is located in a separate building near the confidential area, completely isolated from the outside world. There are dedicated personnel on duty at the entrance, and it is also equipped with an energy shielding device, ensuring maximum security.

Xu Ying led everyone into the small building. The first floor was a spacious common area with soft sofas and several round tables. An automatic water dispenser in the corner was slowly dispensing warm water, and there was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, but it was not pungent.

“This building is the base’s exclusive temporary dormitory. It’s safe and well-equipped,” Xu Ying explained, pointing to the rooms on the second floor. “I’ve arranged adjacent rooms for you, both double rooms, which are spacious enough. You can decide how you want to stay.”

The group followed Xu Ying up to the second floor. The corridor was clean and tidy, and each room had an electronic identification device at the door.

Li Luo and Shi Xinxin walked to the room marked "201". Xu Ying gestured for the staff to come forward and verify their permissions. The door opened with a "beep".

The room was indeed spacious and bright, with light gray non-slip floor tiles. There were two separate single beds against the wall, with clean bedding on the beds, and two wardrobes with locks next to them.

There is a small desk by the window, next to which is a separate bathroom with hot water and toiletries.

Shi Xinxin's eyes lit up as soon as she entered the room. She carried the potato to the bedside and sat down. The soft bedding made her want to snuggle against it.

"Wow, this is so comfortable! It's much better than the tents we've been sleeping in all this time!"

Li Luo entered the room, glanced around to make sure there was nothing unusual, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Potato jumped down from Shi Xinxin's arms, and with the spinning top on his head, he spun around the room, seemingly getting familiar with the environment. Finally, he jumped onto the windowsill, curled up into a ball, and the spinning top obediently lay on his head, its little tentacles swaying gently.

“The security and shielding systems here are top-level, so you can rest assured,” Xu Ying said, standing at the door. “I’ve already arranged a welcome dinner in the common area on the first floor. Dinner will start in half an hour. It’ll be some home-style dishes, so you can have a taste of the base’s hot meals.”

"Thank you, leader!" Lu Jingcheng and his team members said in unison, their voices full of gratitude.

Xu Ying waved her hand: "Go and get ready, take a nice hot shower, I'll wait for you downstairs." Then she turned and left.
