"who is this?"

"It should be... Miss Su's father, right?"

"Yeah, look how good their relationship is!"

……

Hearing these whispered discussions, Su Tang chuckled. She looked at Meng Huo, who had also heard it and successfully turned his face black. She stretched out her arms and hugged his neck tightly, putting her mouth close to his ear.

"Welcome back! Don't be angry, why don't we go back to the room and talk?"

"it is good."

Meng Huo glared at Zhang Chenxi who was trying to hold back her laughter, then carried her out of the factory area as if no one was around.

But just as they entered the residential area, a man caught up with them.

He was covered in a black cloak, including his head and face.

Su Tang didn't take it seriously at first, but when he realized that the other party was coming straight towards them, he looked over in confusion.

The cloaked man paused for a moment when he was looked at by her, but soon blocked their way at an even faster speed.

Meng Huo stopped and made an impatient "tsk" sound.

Su Tang's eyes fell on the cloaked man, and he felt inexplicably familiar with him.

Although the cloak was extremely wide and fluttered over him, and he had his head half lowered, with his big hat covering his eyes and eyebrows, she still felt that she should recognize him.

"You are……"

The other party should not move, and Su Tang did not get angry. He patted Meng Huo's arm, signaling him to let him go.

Meng Huo rolled his eyes, but did as he was told.

Su Tang walked forward, and the man seemed to know what she was going to do. He bent down and his hat was taken off...

Suddenly, Su Tang shouted in surprise and joy, "Xiaopeng!"

"It's really you!"

"Great! Great!"

Su Tang grabbed his arm happily and shouted and laughed.

She thought he was still in Central City, and was very worried when she came here, but she couldn't find him at that time, and she was really helpless! She just thought that he was so strong that nothing should happen to him, and she was reluctantly relieved.

I didn't expect that he would come to the base!

Xiaopeng thought it was good and pulled his stiff facial muscles hard to make the corners of his mouth curve a little.

Although it was very small, Su Tang still saw it.

As Yang Lifan had said before, Xiaopeng's appearance had gotten rid of the temporary degradation during sleep and had become more and more like a human!

Even more similar than before.

Although he couldn't make all kinds of expressions like humans, he had a little bit of control and could at least express that he was also very happy.

Moreover, his eyes became much more flexible.

Just like when he looked at Su Tang now, his eyes revealed discernible joy, relief, and a hint of confusion.

Su Tang understood. She pursed her lips and said, "Are you wondering why I became like this... Well, it's a long story. I..."

Before she finished speaking, someone was already getting impatient.

Meng Huo came behind her and simply picked her up again.

He said to Xiao Peng with a cold face, "Go find Ren Xiao first. I have something to say to her."

As he said this, he walked around him and moved forward.

Su Tang wanted to laugh, but felt a little helpless. He turned around and waved at Xiao Peng, indicating that he would find him later. Then he turned around and stayed quietly in Meng Huo's arms.

Meng Huo glanced down at her and raised the corners of his lips slightly. Humph! A pet wants to snatch people from me? Dream on!

Su Tang's residence was similar to Yuan Huimeng's, also a separate courtyard, but her courtyard didn't have any strange plants, but instead had some medicinal herbs. These herbs were what Yang Lifan needed, and Su Tang re-cultivated them in the space, and replanted them after the seeds were produced.

Meng Huo walked into the house along the path in the middle, and the two of them sat down on the sofa peacefully.

He held Su Tang in his arms and refused to let her sit by herself.

Ever since she left in the Northern City last time, he had dreamed about his past with her every night. After they got back together, he stopped dreaming about them, but somehow, this time when they were apart, maybe because it was too long, it started again...

I always dream about her.

Fortunately, it doesn't happen so often that he doesn't suffer from poor rest and become irritable.

But this time, he was no longer in the dream.

The environment in the dream was no longer familiar to him.

That house and those furnishings, no matter how you look at it, are scenes from before the end of the world.

And Su Tang also changed.

In the dream, he knew that the girl who was growing up slowly was her, but he could not see her face clearly. It was as if there was a layer of smoke covering her features completely.

He also saw an old man.

When she was still a little girl, she followed the old man to learn how to make tools, and her small hands could barely hold a knife.

She identified the various woods, then the metals.

Her men began to produce more and more weapons...

She grew up little by little.

These dreams are actually very ordinary and nothing special.

But Meng Huo felt uneasy.

Su Tang was only twenty-two years old at most.

When the apocalypse broke out, she should have just been born, so how could she be in such an environment?

As for the old man, he subconsciously felt that he was not the deceased old man of the Su family... So, who is he?

Perhaps it should be asked, are these dreams real, or are they just fabricated because he missed her so much?

All kinds of doubts lingered in his mind, causing Meng Huo to be particularly reluctant to let her go. It seemed that only by holding her tightly like this could he feel less uneasy.

"Did something happen?"

Su Tang sensitively noticed that something was wrong with him and couldn't help but ask.

Meng Huo took a breath and finally loosened his grip a little, allowing her to look him in the eye and talk.

"No."

After a pause, he changed the subject, "This time the herb collection went smoothly, and we collected all the herbs we needed."

Su Tang smiled, "Well, that's good! By the way, how did you meet Xiao Peng?"

"He..." Meng Huo curled his lips in disdain, "He was so stupid that he was caught. Fortunately, we met him and rescued him."

Su Tang's face changed.

"Who arrested him?"

"The other person ran too fast. Besides, he was not in good condition at the time, so he failed to catch him."

Su Tang pursed his lips tightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Meng Huo could see that her mood had worsened, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.

He doesn't like Xiaopeng.

What’s more, I hate the way he sticks to Su Tang all day long.

If it wasn't for the fact that Su Tang couldn't use her powers and really needed someone to protect her, and that stupid zombie's strength was just okay, he definitely wouldn't have brought him back! But if he really brought him back, he would be upset!

He pressed his head into her shoulder and said sullenly, "You used your powers again, didn't you?"

"Eh?" Su Tang came back to her senses. "Well, it was when we went to the Southern City..." She temporarily stopped thinking about who had captured Xiao Peng, and instead told him in detail what happened in the Southern City.

Meng Huo listened and his expression turned grim.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the Qiao family, Qiao Li... hum..."

He sneered.

Su Tang felt that this was definitely a sign of hatred towards the other party. She blinked and couldn't help but ask, "Have you dealt with him before?"

"A few times."

"What kind of power does he have? What level is it?" It's probably higher than hers because she can't see through him.

Meng Huo thought for a moment, "He should have been at level eight when I left. It seems he has been promoted now. He should have fire-related abilities."

"Oh."

Su Tang was relieved. If it was a natural ability, it would be fine. He was most afraid of the weird and hard-to-guard abilities. Of course, the fire ability was difficult to deal with when it reached such a high level, but there was still a way to fight it!

Meng Huo naturally guessed what she was thinking, but he said confidently, "From what you said, he won't do anything bad to the base, at least not for the time being. Otherwise, he wouldn't let Zhang Chenxi come back."

"Do you also think that he released Zhang Chenxi on purpose?"

"Of course." Qiao Li is not a fool. If he really wants to capture Zhang Chenxi in the city, he will definitely blockade it more tightly.

Su Tang sighed, "That's good." After all, the base had just been built, and it was not at the same level as the southern city. Even with high-level psychics like them, facing thousands of psychics would be a headache.

Meng Huo's eyes flashed.

"Just stay at the base for the time being. I will keep an eye on the southern city."

Hearing him say this, Su Tang felt relieved.

Especially when He Mingshen and his old subordinates saw Meng Huo, the grown men who were usually either noble and cold or laughing and noisy burst into tears. To put it bluntly, they looked like they had found their biological mother...

Although Su Tang was shocked by her own inappropriate metaphor, she became more determined. Meng Huo's greatest ability was not his supernatural power, but that he was very good at commanding his subordinates.

For example, the people in the Dead City, how Mingshen and the others, and the people in the Paradise City.

Anyone who has been taken care of by him seems to have "deep affection" and "can't bear to leave" for him...

Could this be the legendary "kingly and domineering aura"?

Su Tang thought about it and almost laughed.

Well, but considering that others were either wiping tears or sighing, it was really inappropriate, so she endured it.

Having said that, since Meng Huo is keeping an eye on the southern city, Su Tang is completely relieved.

In order to find out the situation in the southern city as soon as possible, Meng Huo prepared to go there after only staying in the base for two days.

He Mingshen and others were like people who had been injected with chicken blood, and they desperately recommended themselves, wanting to act with him.

Meng Huo only picked about ten people and refused to take more.

The rest was a bit disappointing.

But it was some comfort to know that he wouldn't leave for some time.

On the day Meng Huo left, Su Tang and his men were starting their first smelting operation.

Meng Huo didn't disturb her.

Ever since he started having those dreams, he realized Su Tang's obsession with making tools.

If a person starts doing something continuously from a very young age, then, whether she likes it or not, this thing has become a part of her life and is inseparable.

What's more, Su Tang's ideal is to develop and expand the Su family's instrument making.

He stood at the door and did not leave immediately.

It only took about half an hour to refine a furnace of steel. When he heard the cheers, he heaved a sigh of relief and turned to the team members who were winking at each other, "Let's go."
