Su Ling finished speaking and got up from Shang Qi's embrace.
She looked back at Shang Qi, reaching out her hand to him, "Come."
Shang Qi extended his hand, clasped Su Ling's tightly, and then stood up.
He was large and strong. As he stood, he pulled Su Ling into his arms.
Shang Qi's hands seemed to recognize their owner automatically, landing precisely on Su Ling's slender waist, which was barely a handful. He held Su Ling, resting his head on her shoulder as he looked at the vibrant, verdant space. He sighed, "Ah Ling is supporting me now. I'm going to live off you."
His Ah Ling's space was truly magical, a miniature version of Earth.
Su Ling watched the mobile castle slowly descend, listening to Shang Qi's words. She replied, "It won't be a problem to support you for a lifetime."
As Su Ling finished speaking, the castle landed steadily on the grass. She pushed Shang Qi away, took his hand, and walked towards the now double doors from the original single one. "Let's go up and take a look. I can't wait."
This was a joint design by her and Shang Qi, and she was very excited about the finished product.
Su Ling and Shang Qi walked up the steps, and after a few minutes, they reached the castle's ground level.
The previous detached villa, vegetable patch, cherry trees, and lychee trees were gone.
In their place stood a villa several times larger, capable of accommodating many people.
It was a detached villa with a garden, a courtyard, and a fountain. The courtyard was a riot of flowers, looking beautiful.
Behind the detached villa were not more villas, but six-story buildings, similar in scale to student dormitories on a campus. They stood quietly, six of them in total.
These six apartment buildings were where Su Ling planned for the apocalypse survivors to reside.
With the tsunami imminent, the island would no longer be their first choice. Their ultimate destination would be her castle, serving as their base.
The rooms were for four people each, designed to university apartment standards, with ample space and complete amenities.
Across from the residential area stood a three-story canteen. The canteen occupied a large area and was separated from the residential zone by a wide road. On both sides of the road were rectangular soil pits where greenery had yet to be planted.
Su Ling didn't go to the villa first. Instead, she pulled Shang Qi along to tour the upgraded castle.
Next to the canteen were the library and the gym, and beyond them were the basketball and badminton courts.
The vegetable patch was also several times larger than before, arranged according to categories. In addition to the vegetable patch, there were areas for planting various seasonings, orchards, and even enclosures for raising chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, and sheep, also arranged by category.
There were not only poultry and livestock areas but also seafood and freshwater fish zones.
The mobile castle, newly upgraded by Su Ling and Shang Qi's joint design, was a self-sufficient, standardized ecological paradise. It had everything, offering the ideal home and living environment after the apocalypse.
The upgraded castle's area was many times larger than when it was first built. Su Ling and Shang Qi walked around it on foot, which took quite some time. Finally, they returned to the area outside the villa's courtyard. Su Ling pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in, with Shang Qi following.
The courtyard was designed by Su Ling, truly a place of blooming flowers with the sound of water flowing.
The courtyard was vast, and Su Ling ran freely within it.
The villa rooms were designed for one person per room, larger, more comfortable, and better designed than the previous ones.
The villa was large, with an extra floor compared to the previous small villa, making it four stories instead of three.
This villa was a reward Su Ling had prepared for herself and her team members, hence its distinction from the nearby apartment buildings.
