The dust had settled. On the street scattered with ashes and dirt stood nothing but broken walls and ruins. The man’s slender hand was chillingly cold. Jian Chengxi’s eyes widened in shock, his lashes still clinging to beads of tears. As they trembled, the tears slipped free, falling onto Li Lingfeng’s rough yet broad and elegant hand. Those hands, accustomed to gripping weapons, were forever stained with the blood of his enemies. Yet this time, what fell upon them were the warm tears of his…-

Jian Chengxi stared blankly at the message on the panel. This was good news, of course he was happy. It was said that the original host’s husband seemed to be in the expeditionary force as well. If there was a signal, didn’t that mean there was a good chance the original host’s husband was among them, and might also return? The doctor said to Jian Chengxi, “Why are you just standing there? Aren’t you happy?” Jian Chengxi snapped out of it and said, “Happy, of course I’m…

Jian Chengxi heard what the children said and had originally thought this Zerg invasion would drag on for many days, just like before. That night, for the children’s safety, he brought them all into his own bed. He’d heard that the Zerg could possibly take on human form and even mimic abilities. Such a powerful enemy was not something he could take lightly. Li Suisui and Li Chen, being little children, fell asleep quickly. Jian Chengxi was woken in the morning by the chime of his comm…

Jian Chengxi knew Grandma Li meant well. He was just about to speak when, following her gaze, he turned his head and saw two children standing not far away, watching him from a distance. They were close enough that he couldn’t tell how much they had overheard. “Suisui.” Worried about the child, Jian Chengxi quickly said, “Don’t go outside, stay in the house.” Li Chen pulled Li Suisui back inside. Jian Chengxi let out a sigh of relief, then turned to Grandma Li. “Thank you for telling…

The weather in the underground city was always unpredictable. That morning, Jian Chengxi was jolted awake by a sudden clap of thunder. He walked to the window and looked up at the sky beyond the atmosphere. The entire world’s protective net had turned a dark red. Normally, the skies would be clear at this hour, but today, there was something strangely unsettling in the air. Beep. A crisp notification tone sounded. Jian Chengxi opened the information terminal on his wrist and saw the…

When Jian Chengxi brought the two children home, it was already dark. On the way, he asked them, “How are you getting along with your classmates at school? What have you been doing there?” Li Suisui replied, “Classes, playing games.” Jian Chengxi thought to himself that sending them to school had indeed been the right choice. When they were at home, the two of them had no way to communicate with children their own age. Especially Li Chen, this child didn’t like to talk, to the point…

Jian Chengxi helped the two children get dressed and then got them ready to head out. Today was the first day of kindergarten, and the underground city was bustling with people coming and going. Many parents were bringing their children to register for school, creating a lively scene. While Jian Chengxi was filling out a form with the kids, a voice called out from behind— “Well, long time no see!” A-Hu and his father approached, their footsteps heavy and loud. Both were tall and…

Jian Chengxi sat on the bed, staring at the unanswered messages in the chat window, letting out a long, frustrated sigh. The system asked him:【Host, your survival safety index has dropped to 5%. Please be mindful of your actions.】 Jian Chengxi froze, unable to believe it. “What? Wasn’t it still at 10% during the day?” The system replied:【The survival index is determined by various factors. It’s very likely that every word and action you take can alter your fate. One thing worth…

With the help of his three-year-old child, Jian Chengxi finally managed to set up a small vegetable garden. He hadn’t really done much farming before, but he was good at it. Before entering the orphanage, he had lived with his grandmother. Back then, she was already getting old, so the garden and fields in front of their house were tended entirely by him. The family was poor, but his grandmother treated him very well. Whatever good food they had, she always saved the first bite for him. Those days…

Jian Chengxi had gathered quite a few fruits. But after returning, he discovered that all of them were sour and hard to eat. It’s not tasty at all. The only batch that had tasted good seemed to be the ones they picked during their first trip up the mountain. Staring at the fruit in the basket, he fell into deep thought, unable to figure out what had gone wrong. It was Li Suisui who came over and said, “Daddy, should we go back to those same fruit trees after a while and pick some more? Maybe…
