Chapter 72: 72. New Year Preparation

"Why is the base not built, then?"

"Like I said before, the scale they estimated is much lower than the scale that we see today." Mark shrugged his shoulder. "They might not be prepared for one at this scale."

Anna thought about the chat group where the water has already reaching the fifth floor and silently nodded.

It was indeed very high.

Most of the places in the world would have been flooded at this period of time and many drowned to death. After all, if they couldn’t escape and chose to stay until there was no way out, they would have never survived.

It was very miserable.

*sigh*

"I see."

"So, do you want to spend the New Year with us?"

Anna looked at Mark helplessly. "Do I have other choice?"

"You can spend it alone while we have fun here." Lucy grinned mischievously.

Anna rolled her eyes. "Then let’s celebrate New Year together!"

"I’ll cook more food," Dylan said from the side. There were still enough raw ingredients to make more food for the time being.

"I’ll clean up the place."

"Wait, this is my place, you better not mess around."

"Don’t worry, I’ll stack your things on the side. This way there will be a bigger table in the middle." Mark grinned.

Anna laughed. "I’ll prepare all the games."

"Oh, you have a lot of games?"

"There are several board games in my storage room. I just need to go there and rummage through some items." Anna shrugged.

"Great idea." Lucy was happy.

"Right, do you have wine here?" Mark turned his head to look at Dylan. If he was not wrong, Dylan liked wine but because of his young age, he stashed them secretly. After all, his grandfather was ready to break his leg again.

Dylan shook his head. "My stash is in my home, which might have been submerged in water by now."

The others looked at Dylan with pity.

It seemed that their plan of using Dylan’s wine would be for naught.

"Ah, we’re already an adult but we still can’t drink wine," Lucy wailed. The drinking age in their country was 22 years old, which was a big pain for Lucy.

"I thought you’re not allowed to drink at school." Anna looked at Lucy speechlessly.

"Well, that’s true, but that doesn’t mean that I couldn’t sneak some drinks from time to time." Lucy pouted.

Anna couldn’t answer.

"It should be fine occasionally. As long as you can pass the alcohol test when you come back," Mark remarked.

Anna: "..."

Dylan laughed at their answers. Sometimes, he wondered why these two wanted to enter military when they also liked to break the rules occasionally. Though, it was mostly some harmless matters such as little pranks.

"I have wine if you want," Anna said slowly.

The other three heads looked in her direction immediately.

"You have to share!"

"Sister Anna, your younger brother wants it too."

"Anna, as my best friend, you have to share the wine!"

Facing the three people who were desperate, Anna couldn’t help but laugh. She was the only one who was not restricted from drinking but the one who liked to drink was her three friends.

Among the items she picked from the mall back then, there were also a lot of wine. After all, there were several wine stores in the mall her father operated. These wines were also varied from cheap to expensive.

Thinking about it, Anna chose to pick a relatively good wine tomorrow.

She still could differentiate the labels thanks to her education when she was young. Back then, she complained that her mother was so strict, but now she felt thankful.

Without her mother persistent in teaching her many things, she wouldn’t be able to reach this step by now.

"I’ll bring it tomorrow."

"Great!"

"Hehehe, I know I could rely on you."

"Next time, let’s just store our stash of wine with Anna."

The other three laughed.

Anna’s lips twitched. "Hey, hey, I’m not a warehouse. What are you thinking with putting your things with me, huh?"

"Hahaha!"

"Meow~."

"See, even Kitty agreed!"

"Kitty! You betray me!" Anna said exaggeratedly.

Kitty wagged her tail and looked at Anna innocently while meowing, "Meow~."

"Bad Kitty!"

The four of them laughed happily.

Joking around like this felt really relaxing, making them forget about the danger they were facing outside. Being with friends and family were indeed the most comfortable.

Having their own private time and then gather together with the people who cared for you.

It was indeed the best.

In the evening, Dylan started to make the preparation to make frozen dumplings. The other three came to the kitchen this time to help.

"Why do you think about making dumplings?" Anna asked curiously.

"Because we have no other materials." Dylan looked at Anna helplessly. "If possible, I also want to make noodles and some other pasta. But it seems that our stocks are diminishing."

"Ah..." They all looked away.

Their favorite food was spaghetti followed by some others. With them often eating pasta from time to time, it was no wonder that the stock was diminishing very quickly. For this matter, Dylan was also helpless.

Mark and Lucy were still a bit more restrained because they had to eat healthy food. But as time passed, they simply not care that much anymore.

Anna was different.

She eats what she liked.

So the pasta was almost completely used up.

"...Well, there are still rice." Anna looked at the grain on the side and sighed unwillingly. She didn’t really like eating rice, but if it was the only one left, then she would have no other choice.

"I wish we have more potatoes." Lucy also looked at the stack of potatoes on the side.

"...Don’t turn them all into potato fries."

"Well, just a bit, then?"

"...I thought that you want to keep your intake healthy?"

"I’ll just condition my body again before returning to the academy." Lucy was almost drooling at this time.

The two men heard the girls’ conversation and sighed deeply in their heart.

Anna: "..."
