Lu Xinyi took the necklace and looked at it carefully in her palm.

The pendant of the necklace is in the shape of a teardrop, and the diamond drops sparkle under the light.

"Why did you give me this?" She turned her gaze to Qin Ju and asked puzzledly.

"Your birthday is coming soon." Qin Ju was still very weak and his voice was a little soft.

But Lu Xinyi heard it clearly and was also surprised.

Birthday?

She hasn't celebrated her birthday for a long time.

Ever since her mother divorced Lu Jinpeng, she rarely celebrated her birthday.

Lu Jinpeng never celebrated her birthday. Although her mother remembered her birthday, bought her gifts and called her, she still felt lonely.

When her grandparents were still alive, she would have them accompany her on her birthdays, but after they passed away, her birthdays seemed more lonely every year.

In the three years after the disaster in her previous life, she had no chance to celebrate her birthday, so much so that she even forgot her birthday.

Now hearing Qin Jue's words, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"How do you know my birthday?"

"I found an old calendar in the safe house with your birthday circled on it."

Lu Xinyi pursed her lips and said nothing.

The safe house is the house where my grandparents used to live, and the old calendar must have been left by them.

As they get older, they gradually forget many things. I guess they must have circled her birthday on the old calendar because they were afraid of forgetting it.

She couldn't help but tighten the necklace in her hand and smiled at Qin Ju, "Thank you for your gift."

"So do you like it?"

"like."

Hearing this, Qin Ju immediately showed a happy smile, and his pair of clean and clear eyes were filled with smiles.

Lu Xinyi couldn't help but chuckle, but then she thought of something and asked, "You went out alone this time, weren't you just looking for a birthday present for me?"

Qin Jue's pale face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he whispered, "Well. Back then at the gas station, you said you didn't want things taken from dead people, saying they were unlucky. I said at that time that I would find you a better necklace from the store in the future."

Lu Xinyi was stunned for a moment.

It had been a long time since that incident. At that time, she had just met Qin Ju and was wary and distrustful of him. Therefore, she did not take what he said to heart.

But I didn't expect that he still remembered it.

"Qin Ju." Lu Xinyi put away her thoughts, looked at him intently, and said seriously, "Thank you for remembering my birthday and preparing a gift for me. You even risked your own life to protect Lian Qiao. In short, I am very grateful for all you have done!"

Qin Ju didn't react for a moment, he just stared at her. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Xin Yi, you don't have to thank me. I did all these things for you willingly!"

"I'd do anything for you!"

The weight of these words was too great. Lu Xinyi wanted him to take them back, but when she met his solemn and determined gaze, she couldn't say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

After a short silence, she smiled and said, "Then I thank you in my heart. Yuan Xue bandaged your wound, but the wound is deep and you lost too much blood, so you should rest here and recuperate for the next few days, okay?"

"What about you?" Qin Ju asked anxiously, "Will you stay here?"

Lu Xinyi thought for a moment and said, "I will also stay in Taoyuan Village for the next few days. When your injury is almost healed, we will return to the safe house."

Qin Ju was relieved after hearing this. She smiled brightly and said softly, "Okay."

……

Coming out of the clinic, Lu Xinyi saw Xia Lianqiao waiting anxiously outside.

"Sister." Xia Lianqiao walked over quickly and asked nervously, "Is Qin Ju awake?"

"He's awake. If you want to go in and see him, go ahead. But he's still very weak, so don't talk to him for too long."

"Yes!" Xia Lianqiao nodded obediently, "I'm just going to go in and thank him and apologize."

Lu Xinyi suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Lian Qiao, are you willing to be my teammate?"

Xia Lianqiao was a little puzzled, but still nodded and said, "Of course I am willing!"

"Go see Qin Jue." Lu Xinyi smiled and waved at her.

At the same time, the system announcement sounded, prompting her to recruit a new teammate and receive 1000 points.

After she could no longer see Xia Lianqiao's back, she withdrew her gaze and left the clinic, and found Zhou Yan who was talking to Zhou Miao.

"Boss!" As soon as he saw Lu Xinyi, Zhou Miao immediately looked at her with shining eyes.

That look was as fanatical as when a fan sees his or her idol.

Lu Xinyi smiled and nodded at her, then turned to Zhou Yan and said, "Teacher Zhou, take Shi Nuo and Lao Tao with you to bring back the fertilizer from the fertilizer factory."

Although she had used skill points to upgrade the land in Taoyuan Village before, there was free fertilizer, so she might as well use it, and she didn't need to spend points to buy skill points.

The zombies in the fertilizer factory have been cleared out, and the three of them are all superpowered. As long as they don’t encounter a large-scale tide of zombies, the three of them should be able to handle it.

"Boss, I want to go too!" Zhou Miao looked at her expectantly.

Lu Xinyi said: "You have to ask Teacher Zhou about this."

"Uncle?"

Zhou Yan wanted to refuse her, but then he thought that although Taoyuan Village was currently safe, there was no guarantee that accidents would not happen.

They cannot rely on the boss for protection all the time, they have to become stronger themselves, and they must not hold the boss back.

It would be fine to let Miaomiao go out with him to gain some experience.

"Then go ahead, but first I have to tell you that you have to listen to me."

"Don't worry, uncle!"

After the uncle and nephew left, Lu Xinyi also prepared to return to the building where she was temporarily staying.

But on the way, she saw Tian Ming walking towards her in a hurry.

"Boss!"

Tian Ming walked quickly to Lu Xinyi and said excitedly: "I have already set up the radio station, and I just received a message."

"What news?" Lu Xinyi asked.

"This is a message from the authorities, informing everyone that they can go to the Dawn Base established by the authorities on their own."

Dawn Base?

She had heard of this base in her previous life. It was indeed officially established and was located two or three hundred kilometers away from H City.

In her previous life, after hearing about the Dawn Base, her team had also wanted to go to the Dawn Base, but due to various reasons, they had been unable to go there.

When they were finally ready to set off for the Dawn Base, the base was attacked by an unprecedented tide of zombies.

Soon, the Dawn Base fell.

But that was a year after the end of the world.

At present, the Shuguang Base is in the development stage.

Lu Xinyi put away his thoughts and said, "Don't expose the existence of our base for now. Continue to receive radio messages."

"Good boss!"

A few days later, Tian Ming brought her an important radio news.

"Boss, the Dawn Base is gathering all the civilian bases to organize a collective action. Do we want to participate?"

Collective action?

Lu Xinyi frowned slightly, thinking secretly.
