It's better to imagine a boyfriend than to attack the villain

After stabilizing his body, Chen Huyi first looked at the sleeping Yue Youyou, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was still asleep.

There was a very light knock on the door, and he tiptoed up to open it.

Yun Qici's face wasn't looking good. Seeing that Chen Huyi was feeling a little better, he glanced behind Chen Huyi and asked, "Did you wake me up?"

"No."

"That's good. You hold Youyou. We have to get out of the car." Yun Qici's face was cold as he thought about the situation outside the car, but he was very gentle when talking about his sister. "It's cold outside, wear more clothes. By the way, block Youyou's hearing. You should be able to use some small spells in the small world, right?"

"Okay." Chen Huyi nodded.

"Okay, I'll get off the car and look for Mingjian first, and you bring your sister down." After saying that, Yun Qici left quickly.

It was only when Chen Huyi came down carrying Yue Youyou that he realized why he had to get off the car.

He didn't know when they were surrounded by thorns, like a turtle in a jar. He found Yun Qici and Shi Mingjian negotiating with several people in white coats, and hugged Yue Youyou tighter.

When Yun Qici saw him coming down, he quickly put the RV back into the space. This scene made the gazes of those people even more intense.

The leader was a young man with a handsome appearance. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Shi Mingjian with a smile. "I'm very sorry to interrupt your journey, but this section of the road is closed to traffic."

"Then let's change the route. What do you mean by this?" Yun Qici pointed at the thorns surrounding them. The other party didn't give them any way to retreat.

The man just smiled and said, "It's just in, not out."

"Since you can only go in and not out, why don't you warn him?" Shi Mingjian looked at him coldly, with a powerful aura lingering around him.

The man wore a nameplate on his chest with the words "Xie Bufan" written on it. He smiled unfadingly, "This is the request of the mother tree in our area. We are just following orders."

A girl next to him was getting impatient. "Brother, stop talking nonsense with them. Let's go back to the institute. It's freezing outside."

The temperature in the apocalypse changes rapidly. It may be scorching hot one second and freezing and snowing the next.

Xie Bufan scolded lightly, "Wushuang, don't be rude."

Xie Wushuang rolled his eyes, curled his lips in disdain, glanced around, and his eyes lit up when he saw Chen Huyi slowly approaching with Yue Youyou in his arms.

Long-haired beauty! She loves it the most! And isn’t this face so handsome?

Xie Wushuang stared at Chen Huyi blankly, his heart beating wildly uncontrollably as he approached.

Chen Huyi, whose heart and eyes were filled with Yue Youyou, didn't know that an NPC had seen his true face.

Apart from gods and other outsiders, there are only two types of people in the small world who can see his true appearance. One is relatives with blood and marriage relations, and the other is NPCs who play a relatively important role in promoting the plot.

Xie Bufan continued, "Because this area is surrounded by dangers, we only allow people to enter but not exit, in order to protect those who accidentally stumble in. We have no ill intentions, and you are not the first group to arrive here."

"Don't worry, we have also built a small base here for you to live in."

Shi Mingjian and Yun Qici exchanged a glance. Yun Qici was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, please lead the way. Thank you."

Xie Bufan smiled and said, "You're welcome."

The research institute's base is on the mountain. On the way up the mountain, Yun Qici and Xie Bufan talked and laughed. They first got to know each other, and then they exchanged questions to learn about the specific situation of the research institute and the base.

Shi Mingjian silently observed his surroundings and found that the flowers, plants and trees on the roadside were taller and abnormally large than what he usually saw.

From Xie Bufan, we learned that this area includes three large mountains with a large basin between the mountains, where their base is located.

There is a towering tree in the center of the base, which is the "mother tree" they mentioned before. From a distance, the top of the tree passes through the clouds and disappears. The dense shade covers the entire basin. It looks a bit like a big tree in a fairy tale. I wonder if I can see a giant if I climb up?

The prototype of the mother tree is a marriage tree. Originally, there was only a small village here. As time passed, the big tree was worshipped by the villagers as a wishing tree. During festivals, the tree would be hung with wishing boards tied with red ribbons.

When the end of the world comes, the big tree suddenly mutates and grows into the sky overnight. The mother tree gives them shelter, fulfills their wishes, and also asks people to give back to it.

As for how to give back, only people in the institute know.

The institute originally conducted biological research, and the ancient tree was one of their research objects.

Along the way, Chen Huyi held Yue Youyou tightly, and the thick military coat wrapped her tightly.

Xie Wushuang had been following him all the way. Seeing that he was holding something he didn't know what it was, he wanted to ask but was afraid that it would be too offensive and leave a bad impression, so he endured it. However, his eyes were always on Chen Huyi.

Just one look at Chen Huyi's handsome face made her feel overjoyed and her face turned red.

After climbing over the mountains and crossing the ridges, they saw the magical big tree.

Chen Huyi, whose attention was originally focused on Yue Youyou, suddenly looked up at the big tree with a slightly dimmed look in his eyes.

Yun Qici and Shi Mingjian had the same expression. There were many strange trees in the divine realm, and with the filter of the end of the world, it was possible for the trees to tower into the clouds.

Xie Bufan and the others took Yun Qici and the others to their accommodation. "I've already arranged for someone to clean the place before we went up the mountain. You can move in directly."

After the end of the world, the villages that were originally farmhouses became more rustic, with mountains, rivers and countryside, and the houses were thatched huts, tree houses, wooden houses and the like.

Xie Bufan explained that this was the mother tree's requirement. Except for the research institute which could retain reinforced concrete and other technological items, all other houses had to be replaced with wooden houses or the like.

Yun Qici and his family live in a tree house, a small courtyard built with a big tree as the center. The house is on the tree, with a special wooden ladder and the handrails of the ladder covered with morning glories. The house has two floors and exactly four rooms.

After entering the house, the temperature rose. Seeing Princess Chen Huyi holding Yue Youyou, Yun Qici took off the military coat that was wrapped around his sister.

Xie Wushuang finally saw clearly that what Chen Huyi was holding wasn't something, but a person. Seeing the doting looks Chen Huyi and Yun Qici gave Yue Youyou, she couldn't help but ask, "Who is she?"

The tone was bad, even carrying obvious hostility, causing the three of them to frown. Shi Mingjian gave her a meaningful look, and Yun Qici replied unhappily, "My sister."

"His wife." Yun Qici pointed at Chen Yuyi and introduced her, "Is there a problem?"

Xie Wushuang's face twisted for a moment, which was caught by Xie Bufan. He pulled her behind him to block everyone's sight.

"I'm sorry, I'm not sensible, I'm sorry."

He looked at Yun Qici apologetically and said, "We still have things to do at the research institute. We'll leave first. If you need anything, you can always come to the research institute to find me."

After saying that, he pulled Xie Wushuang and left quickly with a group of people.

Yun Qici looked at them expressionlessly, but turned around and smiled brightly, "Hu Yi, take You You upstairs first. You two will live upstairs."

Chen Yuyi nodded, "Okay."
