Gu Nanyi woke up in bed and found that the father and son were both gone.
She rubbed her lower back, then got up to wash up.
When she went downstairs, she found the father and son sitting on the sofa.
“A-Chen, Momo!”
“Wife.”
“Mommy, you’re awake! Daddy said Mommy was tired and needed to sleep a little longer. Momo was very good and didn’t wake Mommy up!”
Gu Nanyi crouched down and hugged her son. Hearing his words, she glared at Pei Yichen.
Pei Yichen simply smiled gently. Her punch had landed on cotton.
“By the way, Mommy, Grandma called and said she’s already arrived. She’s at the old residence.”
“Okay. We’ll go over there later.”
It was located in a traditional courtyard house in the city center, right next to the Gu family’s old residence.
The two families were not only among the top prestigious families in Kyoto, but they also had a very close relationship. Their families had been friends for generations.
“Dad, Mom.”
Gu Nanyi and Pei Yichen entered the house and greeted everyone.
When Gu Renbai and An Zixin saw their daughter and son-in-law entering hand in hand, it was clear that their relationship had been restored.
“Come in, come in.”
An Zixin looked at her precious daughter. “You. Don’t take advantage of how much Yichen dotes on you and do whatever you want.”
When Gu Nanyi saw her mother, she remembered that in her previous life, her mother had been devoured by zombies because of her. Not even her body had been left behind.
Thinking of this, her eyes involuntarily reddened.
Everyone present immediately became concerned.
“What happened, sweetheart? Don’t cry, don’t cry!”
Ding Shu also noticed it. “Yiyi, did Xiao Chen bully you? Tell me. I’ll beat him up for you.”
Pei Yichen heard this and wondered whether he was really her biological son.
Ding Shu thought to herself that he might as well not be. When the examination showed she was having a girl, no one had expected the baby to turn out to be a boy after birth. Nine months of emotional investment for nothing.
“Mom, I’m fine. I just… missed you a little!”
“You scared your mother to death. Your father and I aren’t leaving this time. We’ll stay with you!”
“That’s right, sweetheart. Dad won’t leave you either.”
“Mm.”
At this moment, Gu Renbai remembered that his good friend Pei Haoshen had called them back, but he still had not explained what the matter was.
“Haoshen, why did you ask us to come back?”
He also noticed that Pei Yiming had returned from overseas.
“I wasn’t late, was I?”
The person who had just entered the house was Gu Nanyi’s elder brother, Gu Zixing.
After receiving the message, he had hurriedly finished handling everything and rushed back.
Seeing that everyone was there, he felt relieved.
“Zixing.”
“Brother!”
“Ah, our Yiyi has become even prettier!”
The moment Gu Zixing saw his sister, he immediately praised her.
“Not late, not late. Everyone is here, so let’s get started!”
After Pei Haoshen finished speaking, he glanced at his younger son.
Seeing this, Pei Yichen drew the curtains and turned on a light. Immediately afterward, a projection appeared.
Gu Zixing saw that the image showed the area at the border between Kyoto and the neighboring province.
“Yichen, what is this? Are you planning to buy it?”
“Yes.”
Pei Yichen continued, explaining everything about the apocalypse in meticulous detail.
Everyone present remained relatively calm except for the Pei family, who had already learned about it the previous day. Gu Nanyi’s parents and Gu Zixing were all somewhat unable to believe it.
In the end, it was only after Gu Nanyi explained that she and Pei Yichen had been reborn that they finally believed them.
“Big Brother, since you’re overseas, try to transport as many supplies back as possible. The most important thing is firearms. My space can duplicate them, so prepare as many firearms as possible. If you can get artillery, that would be even better.”
“Mm, I know. Yun Yang and Yun Hai have already gone back to prepare for this. A-Yu and I will return tomorrow and come back in September.”
Pei Yiming briefly explained his arrangements.
“Okay. Brother, I’ll leave the construction of the base to you.”
Pei Yichen looked at Gu Zixing as he spoke.
“No problem. I remember that this place will go up for auction in half a month, so we still have time to prepare.”
“Mm.”
Gu Nanyi said, “Brother, it would be best to make the base larger. It needs three layers of walls, with the innermost area serving as the core.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Gu Nanyi suddenly remembered some things from the plot.
“By the way, Brother, find some Boston ivy. After this plant mutates during the apocalypse, it can produce water. During the apocalypse, all the water resources will be contaminated. Oh, and bottle trees too.”
“Okay. Tomorrow I’ll have someone buy Boston ivy seeds and bottle tree saplings.”
“Mm.”
Pei Yichen said, “Brother, we’ll also need a research institute.”
“Mm, I know, I know.”
They continued discussing until three in the afternoon before finally ending the meeting.
Everyone felt exhausted, but each person had their own responsibilities to handle.
An Zixin and Ding Shu stayed home to look after Pei Mo, while Gu Renbai and Pei Haoshen also joined the effort, working to raise funds for the construction of the base.
Gu Nanyi and Pei Yichen, meanwhile, traveled around the world collecting supplies. After all, the two of them had spatial abilities.
After returning home, the two of them lay together on the bed.
Pei Mo stayed at the old residence that day, where he was being looked after by Gu Nanyi’s mother and Pei Yichen’s mother.
Gu Nanyi suddenly thought of something. She sat up on the bed and looked at Pei Yichen.
“A-Chen, this afternoon I felt like something entered my mind.”
As soon as Gu Nanyi finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out in her mind.
【I’m not a thing! I’m a trading system!】
The sudden voice startled Gu Nanyi, but she quickly recovered.
“Who are you? Why did you appear in my mind?”
【Hello, host. I am the -012 Trading System from the Milky Way Galaxy ten million years in the future.】
“Ten million years in the future? A trading system?”
【That’s right, host!】
Pei Yichen watched his wife suddenly speak to no one and then act strangely.
“Wife, who are you talking to?”
Hearing Pei Yichen’s question, Gu Nanyi answered, “Hubby, I think I’ve been bound to a trading system!”
“A trading system? What does it do?”
“I’ll ask.”
After saying that, she immediately asked the system in her mind, “012, what can you do?”
【To answer the host, I can conduct transactions. The method of trading is item-for-item exchange.】
“Item-for-item exchange?”
【That’s right, host.】
“Okay, I understand. Then how did you appear?”
Gu Nanyi remembered that there had been a system in the original plot, but it seemed that it had not been a trading system.
Seeing that its host was not easy to fool, 012 could only tell her the truth. After all, the host’s tone just now had been terrifying!
【It’s like this, dear host. I was originally on my way to another world, but an error occurred during the process. I don’t know how, but I ended up here. Then I discovered a golden light on you, so I bound myself to you.】
“Mm, I understand.”
Gu Nanyi repeated everything the system had said to Pei Yichen.
Pei Yichen said, “Wife, ask how the item-for-item exchange works.”
Gu Nanyi nodded and asked the question in her mind.
Naturally, 012 could hear the voices of everyone except its host.
【Dear host, I can establish a master-subordinate connection. Only one person can be connected. Would you like to bind another person?】
Hearing this, Gu Nanyi definitely wanted to do it, so she immediately said, “Bind.”
Not long afterward, two round bracelets appeared before them.
【Dear host, after you and your husband put them on, they will automatically become invisible. However, your husband can only see a blue screen and hear my voice. He cannot perform any operations.】
Gu Nanyi repeated the explanation to Pei Yichen.
Pei Yichen nodded.
The two of them put on the bracelets, which immediately became invisible around their wrists and could no longer be seen.
Then a virtual blue screen appeared in front of them.
Looking at the few items displayed on the screen, they were somewhat reluctant to exchange for anything.
【Dear host, because of space-time travel, my warehouse has been sealed. I need energy to activate it, so there are only these items available for now.】
“Mm, I understand.”
The two of them looked at the items on the blue screen together.
Pei Yichen noticed an energy shield.
“Wife, look at this. A virtual energy shield. We can give it to our parents!”
“This one is useful. 012, how does the item-for-item exchange work?”
【Dear host, the virtual energy shield requires one hundred vegetable seeds to exchange for it.】
“Only one hundred vegetable seeds?”
【That’s right, host!】
“Okay, I understand.”
Gu Nanyi then took out vegetable seeds from her space.
These were all purchased when they were in R Country, and they had all been stored in Gu Nanyi’s space.
She directly exchanged one hundred seeds!
Seeing so many seeds, 012 was practically overjoyed. It had never expected to receive so many. It seemed that it could complete its task far beyond the required amount.
But when 012 thought about it, it suddenly became depressed.
Then how was it supposed to get back?
011 was still waiting for it!
So sad!
