Chapter 707: Meteor Shower

"Let’s contact Mom and Dad, otherwise they’ll be worried." Xu Mumu took out the Reincarnation Jade and said to Yin Yang. Now that Yin Yang was found, there wasn’t much else to worry about.

"That’s good, I wonder how Doudou is doing? Is the company in chaos?" Yin Yang missed his son a bit.

Xu Mumu infused the Reincarnation Jade with energy, and soon, an image of their son appeared on the light screen.

"Mom, have you arrived?" Yin Si looked at his parents, still the familiar look, and discreetly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uh-huh, everything okay over there? Are your grandparents still well?" Xu Mumu asked quickly, having missed them dearly after just a few days apart.

"Everything’s fine, don’t worry. I’ve already called Grandpa; they’ll be here in a while." Doudou said with a smile, relieved that his parents were safe.

A few minutes passed, and Xu Mumu saw a large group of people gathered in front of the light screen, including Yu Xinyao and Huo Qingze.

Both Yu Xinyao and Huo Qingze were filled with shock—what a wild way for their friends to play, ending up in another world.

Xu Mumu and the others’ bodies were left here, preserved by Doudou through freezing.

Upon hearing about Xu Mumu and the others, the couple’s first feeling was disbelief; they struggled a long time coping with the whole family being gone.

Then Doudou contacted her just now, and seeing the couple through the light screen, she couldn’t help but believe it.

Huo Qingze was equally shocked; as someone who believed in science, he felt his worldview was collapsing.

Seeing the two in another scenario, looking younger, Huo Qingze felt a bit envious.

"I didn’t expect what Doudou said to be true." Yu Xinyao remarked with emotion.

"Sorry for letting you know only now." Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"If you’re going, why didn’t you take me too? I want to be young!" Yu Xinyao looked at Xu Mumu with envy.

"Couldn’t bring too many people," Yin Yang said indifferently.

"Mumu, isn’t there talk of zombies over there? Are you all okay? Any injuries?" Li Caixia was worried.

"We had a little trouble returning, ended up before the apocalypse. Now there’s only a little over half a month until it arrives." Xu Mumu explained their situation.

After the call with the family there, knowing they were all fine, Xu Mumu was relieved.

After resting here for two days, Yin Yang arranged for someone to take Xu Mumu on a plane back to the Imperial City.

With the apocalypse approaching, Xu Mumu didn’t want to waste time anymore and planned to wait at the base and later fight zombies.

If she waited until the apocalypse to travel, it would be too dangerous. The place she was in was far from the Imperial City. Even by train, it took over two days; going by foot with all the dangers would take over half a year.

Yin Yang brought his future wife back, surprising Yin Peng and Song Zhaozhao—she’s quite pretty and classy; they both found Xu Mumu’s first impression quite good.

"Hello Uncle, hello Aunt, I’m Xu Mumu." Xu Mumu greeted them with a smile. She didn’t know what Yin Yang’s parents looked like before, but he said his mother in this life looked identical to the one in the past life. She glanced more towards Song Zhaozhao, who, despite being over fifty, didn’t appear aged, possessing a gentle temperament and leaving a nice impression.

"I can’t believe my brother found a girlfriend. Hello, sister-in-law, I’m Chuchu." Yin Chuchu beamed at Xu Mumu, impressed by her sister-in-law’s looks, no wonder his discerning brother was so taken.

"Hello, I’ve often heard your brother mention you. He says you’re very sensible." Xu Mumu said with a smile; having a little sister-in-law in this life was truly a novel experience.

"Really, really? My brother actually praises me?" Yin Chuchu’s eyes lit up.

"Of course, he said you’re a lovely young girl."

Xu Mumu’s room was arranged next to Yin Yang’s. It was her first time seeing how truly large and wealthy the Yin Family was, far surpassing the old Yin residence she saw in her past life; it was both expansive and luxurious, filled with enjoyment.

"Yin Yang, how’s the Yin Family’s preparation of supplies?" Xu Mumu asked Yin Yang.

"Don’t worry, I’ve used the excuse of opening a supermarket to stock up on supplies. The resources we have in our space are best left untouched for now." Yin Yang said seriously.

"Okay, I understand." Xu Mumu nodded; there were too many people in the Yin Family to trust yet, better to rely on outside resources.

Yin Yang, who had been bedridden for so long, was awake now. Even though he persisted in rehabilitation each day, immediate progress was impossible.

Xu Mumu stayed by Yin Yang’s side during rehab daily. Mrs. Yin wanted to take Xu Mumu to mingle in the socialite circle, but Xu Mumu refused; with the apocalypse nearing, there was no time for such pointless activities.

The news of Yin Yang’s recovery spread across the Imperial City, and the Yin Family didn’t hide it. His awakening brought many visitors to the Yin Family.

The Yin Family nearly controlled half of Hua Country’s economic lifeline; their status was immense, with many proposing marriage to Yin Yang.

Thankfully, Mrs. Yin blocked them. She had planned to find a wife for Yin Yang before, but after his accident, that girl immediately married the oldest son of the rival Lin Family, which frustrated Mrs. Yin for quite a while.

Now, seeing his future wife accompany him during rehab, their intimacy made her disinclined to interfere. Besides, she was quite satisfied with Xu Mumu.

As the apocalypse neared, the couple grew more anxious. If not for the Yin Family’s fully stocked warehouse, they’d have been even more unsettled.

Even Yin Yang felt uneasy nearing the apocalypse, sensing something big was about to happen, an unsettling feeling.

Watching the news reports about an upcoming meteor shower, the internet was already abuzz.

Xu Mumu gripped the handles of Yin Yang’s wheelchair; having been through it once, it still made her anxious.

"Brother, sister-in-law, what’s wrong? There’s a meteor shower coming, aren’t you excited? I heard it can be seen globally from several places." Yin Chuchu, pleased, browsed these news on her phone.

"Chuchu, go call Mom and Dad and Second Uncle here; I have something to discuss with them." Yin Yang said seriously.
