The body was warm, and the whole person seemed to come back to life.

Zuo Ruxue then used a towel to wipe her body, and then said to Li Qi, who had just started washing, "I'll get dressed first and wait for you at the door."

Li Qi nodded and said, "Okay."

Zuo Ruxue didn't go out; after wiping clean, she continued to dry her hair with the towel.

This feeling of having a clean body is really comfortable.

She was a little envious of the people in the Outer City, who could live in peace every day without worrying about zombies suddenly appearing in the middle of the night or their companions suddenly telling them zombies were coming while they were taking a shit.

They didn't have to worry about nightmares in the middle of the night either.

These things, which seemed simple before Doomsday, were so hard to achieve during it.

"Sigh... just a little short of points," Zuo Ruxue murmured.

She was just two points short of gaining the entry points to the Inner City, but then it started snowing. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Food was not in short supply, as they had completed many tasks, and since the natural disaster, their team hadn't rested for a single day, tirelessly hauling various equipment and supplies from outside into the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Some of these items they might not even need, but they were on the exchange list for the Big Camphor Tree Base, such as: sensors, thermal instruments, electrical instruments, analysis instruments, etc.

She didn't understand these things, but it didn't prevent her from finding and transporting them to the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Li Qi washed quickly; to be precise, she had no choice but to be quick.

She wasn't fully satisfied, dressing while saying to Zuo Ruxue, who was waiting at the door, "Sister Zuo, I heard that in the Inner City, they're not limited on their shower time, and everyone has their own room... that's really nice."

Zuo Ruxue felt a mix of emotions and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long while, she replied, "Yes, it's really nice."

With a distant look, she remembered those like He Chao and Deng Ben, who, like them, first entered the Outer City and then, after gaining enough Contribution Value and passing assessments, entered the Inner City.

These people gave them hope.

Entering the Inner City had become the ultimate fantasy for people like them.

They hadn't been inside and didn't know what kind of Taoyuan it was like in there.

After washing, the two didn't dare linger outside for too long.

It was still snowing heavily outside, having snowed for a full two days.

The snow was already six to seven centimeters thick. They wrapped themselves in coats and braved the wind and snow, running back to the greenhouse.

As they entered the greenhouse, some of the men inside were momentarily dazzled.

Zuo Ruxue and the others, who had looked dirty and indistinguishable in terms of gender before, now appeared as fresh as lotus flowers emerging from water, beautiful and elegant.

Gulp—

Someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but they dared not act recklessly.

There were cameras installed inside this living tent.

Those people during the natural disaster in the past served as a cautionary tale.

Zuo Ruxue and Li Qi exchanged a glance, seeing the camera on the tent ceiling. Instead of feeling annoyed, they felt a strong sense of security.

One of the reasons why the Big Camphor Tree Base was so desirable to people like them was the meticulous attention to detail, making them very eager to be admitted.

Their hair was still wet, and after being exposed to the cold wind, it was best to dry as soon as possible.

Without a hairdryer, they had to gather near a warm air vent to dry their hair.

The vent had high power, and it didn't take long for their hair to dry.

After drying her hair, Zuo Ruxue returned to her area and entered her tent.

She crawled into her sleeping bag, which was warm, and unlike before, it wasn't smelly or sticky but clean and dry.

At that moment, she felt extremely happy and at ease.
