The other party was like a wall and could not be pulled away at all.

Zhou Shuwan was anxious: "Why are you so hot-tempered? You just say whatever you want!"

Qi Mingyu stopped and looked at her, his expression unclear as to whether he was happy or angry.

Zhou Shuwan was tired of pulling and simply let go: "Lin Youyang is just a weakling, how capable do you think he is to bully me!"

Qi Mingyu, however, noticed something else: "So that person's name is Lin Youyang!"

Zhou Shuwan laughed in anger and ignored him: "Okay, stop being crazy, I'm going back, you should go back too!"

Qi Mingyu frowned and wanted to say something, but the other party didn't give him a chance. He quickly walked in and closed the door.

Leaving him standing alone outside the door.

However, when Zhou Shuwan closed the door, the expression on his face disappeared.

She recalled scenes from her past life. As a young woman living alone, she wondered how she could have avoided the malice and harassment from men in her past life.

Lin Youyang is just the beginning.

In the eight years of the apocalypse, she had killed countless men who wanted to violate her!

This is probably why she later hated being touched by others!

Qi Mingyu is really perceptive... He discovered the problem with just one sigh.

Zhou Shuwan smiled bitterly. In her previous life, the people she trusted the most were men. But after this rebirth, somehow, apart from her parents and brother, the person she trusted the most was Qi Mingyu!

Maybe it was because of their initial encounter, she was very fond of him because he was a soldier...

Perhaps it was that time in the highway tunnel when he led a few people to treat the wounded and kindly reminded her that she felt that he was a good person...

Or perhaps, it was the subtle interactions and companionship since returning that completely let her down her guard...

Life after the apocalypse was precarious, and even if she had space now and stockpiled enough supplies for a family of four for twenty or thirty years, she couldn't guarantee she could make it to the end.

A tsunami, a fire, a trivial accident, everything they have prepared may fall apart, and the family may be separated, never to be reunited again...

But no matter what, she must hold her parents and Mu Mu's hands tightly, and the family must not be separated even if death comes!

She originally wanted to discuss the matter of planting cacti with Qi Mingyu, but the accident that had just happened made her not in the mood to talk about it anymore.

She went to the bedroom to look for the hard drive she had stored, which contained various resources.

I found the section about cactus, played it quickly, and watched some videos about cactus varieties, planting, etc.

Around noon, she was about to go to the kitchen to help her father make lunch when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Zhou Shuwan went to open the door and looked out through the peephole. It was Qi Mingyu.

She frowned, but still opened the door and looked at the other person calmly: "What's the matter?"

Compared with usual, her attitude was quite cold.

Qi Mingyu didn't care and handed over a gray, inconspicuous bracelet. "This is a newly developed self-defense weapon in the military, incorporating advanced high-tech principles. It uses high-voltage pulse electric shock technology and can release powerful electrical energy in an instant.

"You will always wear this with you. Never take it off. If you encounter an emergency, pry open this area with force. There's a hidden button inside. Press it and everyone within a 200-meter radius will be electrocuted. It won't kill you, but the amount is enough to knock an adult unconscious. It can only be used once, so use with caution!"

Zhou Shuwan was stunned for a moment, looking down at the bracelet with mixed emotions. After a long while, he looked up and asked in a hoarse voice, "Since it's newly developed, how did you get it?"

Qi Mingyu did not answer, but gently put the bracelet on her. The gray bracelet seemed to become brighter on her wrist, which was as white as cream.

"Don't take it off!" he warned again.

Zhou Shuwan finally calmed down after watching him put it on.

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully me now!" She looked up and stared at the other person seriously.

She has a pair of almond-shaped eyes with bright black pupils. When she looks at him like this, one can feel her determination and confidence!

Not now, but what about before?

Qi Mingyu felt that Zhou Shuwan was a mystery from head to toe. The closer he got, the harder it became to see through the fog surrounding her...

Her archery skills that could kill with one arrow, her ruthless attacks, and her stress response all spoke of her unusual experience!

Was her past really just like that "prophet"...

He lowered his eyes and gently stroked her hair with his big hand, his action full of pity.

Zhou Shuwan didn't move and whispered, "Thank you!"

There seemed to be countless emotions fluctuating in her pair of dark eyes, but they eventually calmed down.

She wanted to say that she couldn't accept it, because it was a very precious weapon and could not be compared with the two pieces of jewelry he had given her before.

However, facing the other person's gentle and compassionate eyes, any words of refusal on her part would seem hypocritical!

She lowered her head and touched the material of the bracelet, then smiled. "You still haven't told me how you got such a precious weapon?"

Just like his endless supply of hot weapons.

Qi Mingyu smiled slightly: "Okay, stop asking so many questions. Is Uncle Zhou cooking? I can smell the fragrance. Let's go in quickly."

He pushed her gently toward the door.

Zhou Shuwan walked in, turned to look at him again, paused, then thought of something, turned back, and asked, "The temperature will get higher and higher in the future. The plants in the vegetable greenhouse will definitely not be able to survive. Do you have any ideas?"

Qi Mingyu looked at her and asked, "What suggestions do you have?"

Zhou Shuwan then told him about the cactus.

Qi Mingyu pondered, "Cacti can indeed adapt to high temperatures and water shortages. We once went into a remote desert during a previous mission. With no supplies, we relied entirely on cactus pulp and juice. I think your idea is great, but we need to figure out where to find large quantities of cactus seeds!"

Zhou Shuwan was a little surprised: "It's all desert, there's no one there, why are you going there on a mission?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be very secretive, he changed the subject: "You can mention the cactus matter to Director Wu. He can talk to Mayor Lu. Maybe he can get some cactus seeds!"

Qi Mingyu nodded: "Let's go talk to him together this afternoon."

Like Zhou Shuwan, he is not a person who seeks credit.

In the afternoon, when Director Wu heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened.

He had been worried that if the temperature kept rising, greenhouse vegetables would definitely not be able to be grown. People were already starting to have insufficient food and water. If the greenhouses couldn't grow food anymore, wouldn't everyone be left starving?

Zhou Shuwan's words gave him new ideas.

In hot weather, other plants cannot be grown, but cacti can be grown!

In the afternoon, he hurriedly rowed to the service hall.
