Chapter 1801 Returning to the Room

On the other side, Chu Yuanqing handed Shi Xinxin a tissue, his eyes filled with doting affection, and gently reminded her:

"Wipe your mouth, you've got oil all over your chin, you look like a little glutton."

Shi Xinxin casually took the tissue and wiped her mouth and chin haphazardly, her movements quick and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

She reached out and scooped the potato off her lap, then ruffled his hair in a carefree manner, her voice booming:

"Potato, there's plenty of dried fish today. Are you satisfied?"

Potato rubbed comfortably against her palm, making soft purring sounds in its throat, and the spinning top on its head swayed its little tentacles, looking exceptionally adorable.

Xu Ying witnessed this scene and couldn't help but smile.

"These two little ones are quite clever. I heard from Cheng Zi that they've been a great help to you along the way, haven't they?"

"Absolutely!" Shi Xinxin's eyes lit up, her voice rising slightly, her tone full of pride. "Potato can warn of danger in advance. Whether it's zombies hiding in the shadows or enemy ambushes, nothing escapes his eyes; Spinning Top is also amazing. He can create energy shields. Several times when we were surrounded, it was her shield that saved us from fatal blows! They are the heroes of our team. We can't do without either of them!"

Li Luo nodded and added, "Their abilities are indeed special. They helped us avoid many risks at crucial moments and made great contributions."

Xu Ying nodded in agreement, then glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, her tone softening:

"Alright, it's getting late, and you've almost finished eating. You must be tired from your journey, so go back to your rooms and rest to recharge."

He paused, then confirmed again, "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, we will meet in the underground secure conference room for a mission progress meeting to discuss in detail the plan to counter the destructive forces. Everyone remember the time and don't be late."

"Understood!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices clear and strong.

Xu Ying gestured for the staff to come and clear the table, then stood up and smiled at everyone:

"I need to go back and take care of some things. You all get some rest. Contact me anytime if anything comes up."

After saying that, he turned and left the public area.

Everyone got up one after another. Lu Jingcheng looked at Li Luo and asked, "Shall I take you back to your rooms?"

Li Luo nodded slightly and followed Lu Jingcheng upstairs with Shi Xinxin, while Chu Yuanqing and the other team members followed closely behind.

In the corridor, young people were still quietly discussing tomorrow's meeting, occasionally interspersed with a few words of hope for finding their relatives. A warm atmosphere flowed quietly under the lights.

As they returned to room 201 side by side and closed the door, the relaxation on Li Luo and Shi Xinxin's faces turned into a hint of wariness.

In the apocalypse, people's hearts are unpredictable, so even in the most secure areas of the base, one cannot afford to be careless.

"I'll check this side." Li Luo said, her fingertips twitching slightly, and a faint wisp of supernatural power quietly spread out, carefully examining every corner of the room.

They didn't overlook any of the things, such as the sockets in the corners of the walls, the vents in the ceiling, the gaps in the desks, or even the corners of the wardrobes.

Shi Xinxin didn't hold back either. She casually rolled up her sleeves and searched through the bedside table drawers, moved a chair to check under the table, and even looked through the gaps in the bed frame. She also touched the material of the wall to make sure there were no hidden surveillance or detection devices.

"All done, spotless, not even a trace of a pinhole camera." Shi Xinxin clapped her hands, her tone light and cheerful. "And the shielding in this room is powerful enough that no one outside can hear anything inside or see any footage."
