The video's clarity is somewhat worse compared to photos, and it was a bit shaky at first, placed by Yao Huo in a position where it could capture the distant ocean, the coastline slightly exposed to the seawater nearby, and the body of the return module.

By this time, it should have been some time since they landed on Earth; the seawater began to recede, revealing the ground.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei saw some familiar yet strange landscapes.

They were familiar because they resembled the outside a bit, but strange because too much time had passed, and the vegetation and environment had changed significantly.

So everything that met the eye was different.

Yao Huo fiddled with the recording equipment for a while. After setting it up properly, he took a deep breath and spoke solemnly to the camera:

"The solar panels are broken, this is the last bit of power we have. We've decided to record this as something useful for humanity—if there's still humanity."

Yao Wei's mother, Ye Wenxin, stood quietly not far away, as if she had already merged with the blue sky, ocean, breeze, and white clouds in the background.

Like Yao Huo, she was looking at the camera calmly and indifferently.

Lu Xi'an watched the screen, somewhat in admiration.

He roughly understood what Yao Huo was saying in the video, realizing that the two who descended from the sky had reached a dead-end situation.

Heaven and earth seemed vast, and their return from the sky was truly an unparalleled event.

The vast ocean stretched infinitely, with no sign of humanity. Yet even so, they maintained their composure, facing it all with calmness.

Remarkable!

Lu Xi'an guessed that they had Yao Wei after the sea had completely receded and land reemerged.

Otherwise, amidst the vast ocean and dire straits, having a child would be too cruel for the child.

From the videos, photos, chip records, and Yao Wei's recounting of her mother, it was clear that Yao Wei's parents weren't like that.

And by calculating the time, that should indeed be the case.

They continued watching the video.

In the video, Yao Huo slowly retreated to stand beside Ye Wenxin, and then they stood face-to-face.

"It's starting."

Yao Huo spoke.

"Mm."

Ye Wenxin looked directly at Yao Huo, nodding.

Then the two moved simultaneously, though not quickly, their fists and feet colliding like a coordinated dance.

Were they sparring?

Lu Xi'an furrowed his brows and exchanged a glance with Yao Wei.

Watching the video again, Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin continued performing a rhythmical "kung fu dance."

Though both were already Type A Neo-Humans, their speed was so slow, it felt as if they were accommodating the camera to ensure it could capture their movements.

Or perhaps they were purposefully moving slowly for the person in front of the camera.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei watched seriously for a while, observing the "dance" from start to finish, gradually uncovering a mystery—

This bore an uncanny resemblance to the training methods they've learned from books.

But what's in the books is just a solo training method and seems much simpler than the movement in the video.

The movements of Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin in the video were more than twice the intensity of those in the booklet, and many of the motions could only be performed through mutual coordination.

Lu Xi'an felt these two were torturing themselves in synchronization, their bodies transforming under the strain, muscles changing, blood vessels swelling, and their faces flushed, breathing heavily—a testament to the toll on their bodies, difficult to bear even for Neo-Humans.

But it should benefit their bodies, enhancing physical strength, right?

Otherwise, why would they torture themselves like this?

Could these dual movements, based on the Type A Neo-Humans' training method, be an advanced technique for them?

So, Yao Wei's parents, Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin, were Type A Neo-Humans, exploring and developing this training method themselves?

"Hoo..."

The two separated in the video, both exhaling deeply.

Ye Wenxin said, "Let's go faster; this slow training is really tiring."

"Alright."

Yao Huo nodded.

And so the two in the video moved again, replaying the set of movements, but now much faster—so fast that the recording devices couldn't capture them properly, turning them into mere afterimages, sometimes separating, sometimes entangled.

Lu Xi'an confirmed that this segment of movement practice was the main content of the video, just as he was thinking about suggesting to Yao Wei to try it tomorrow, he heard her say, "These movements... it seems like my mom taught me this..."

"Really?"

Lu Xi'an widened his eyes slightly, looking at Yao Wei.

"Yes."

Yao Wei nodded, saying, "I was too young at the time, and this set of movements was too hard. I only practiced a few steps and couldn't continue, so I don't remember much. Seeing this video reminded me.

"My mom wanted me to practice with her, but after a few tries, she didn't dare to let me continue, fearing it would harm my body. She said we'd talk about it when I got older..."

But she didn't wait for you to grow up, did she?

Lu Xi'an guessed the unspoken words of Yao Wei and secretly sighed in his heart.

These specific training methods for Type A Neo-Humans must have been improved from the Type A Neo-Humans' exercise manuals.

According to the timeline of Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin landing on Earth, the war had already broken out by then.

From much of the information Lu Xi'an previously accessed, it showed that during the war, various strains of X-17 had already started to become widespread, with the only constraint on all types of Neo-Humans being the natural rejection response of the human body.

But even for improvements, it wasn't easy at all.

Lu Xi'an didn't know with what feelings or how Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin made the decision to leave the last bit of battery in their recording equipment for this set of actions, anyway, this set of actions was entirely useless and even harmful to most people.

Only Type A Neo-Humans like them could adapt to the intensity of these actions.

—And even so, it required strong willpower to endure the pain of training and coordinate smoothly with their partners to complete.

Before recording the video, Yao Huo said that this was a little useful thing left to humans, and in the end, this little thing fell into their daughter's hands. Lu Xi'an didn't know if this was fate, but from the way Yao Wei watched the video, Lu Xi'an knew that she cared deeply.

The rapidly intense action shadows in the video suddenly broke off, as the equipment used for recording must have completely run out of power, thus ending the video.

But Yao Wei seemed to want to watch, so she reopened the video.

Perhaps she wanted to see more of her parents' appearances and voices through the video.

Lu Xi'an didn't disturb her, quietly walked away, and went to boil three corncobs.

After they were cooked, he took one out of the car and knocked on the door of the return module.

Inside the return module, Blade held his breath, but Lu Xi'an could still hear his heartbeat.

"It's me."

Lu Xi'an said, and the boy finally breathed a sigh of relief, continued breathing, and came to open the door.

Lu Xi'an stuffed the corn into Blade's hand and said, "Here, eat this tonight to fill up your stomach. Also, remember, don't put any of that stuff on the ground inside your mouth, it's poisonous."

Blade was stunned for a moment, took the corn, and said, "Tha...thank you, you're...you're a good person! You guys are all good people!"

The boy finally expressed this thought, and Lu Xi'an smiled, as he finally heard this evaluation again.

If there were real cards for 'good person cards' in this world, he would surely become a master card collector.

"Rest now."

He said as he closed the door for Blade, listening to the quiet for a moment inside, followed by the sound of ravenously devouring corn.

That boy would probably eat even the corn cob clean...

Lu Xi'an thought to himself. He returned to the car, took out the other two corncobs from the pot, and gave one to Yao Wei.

Yao Wei finally came back to her senses, glanced at Lu Xi'an, took the corn and quietly gnawed on it. While eating, she continued watching the looped video on the laptop.

"Shall we try practice tomorrow?"

Lu Xi'an asked Yao Wei.

"Hmm... okay."

Yao Wei agreed.

After finishing the corn, Yao Wei finally stood up and left from in front of the laptop.

She was going to tidy up the pot still on the fire.

If it were any other time, Lu Xi'an naturally wouldn't need Yao Wei to do it, but this time Lu Xi'an just wanted Yao Wei to step away from those immersed emotions of the past, so he didn't contest with Yao Wei.

Unexpectedly, after Yao Wei tidied up the pot, she sat back in front of the laptop to watch again.

That endlessly replaying, monotonous video without any plot, yet she seemed to watch it with great gusto, as if she'd never tire of it.

"Not going to sleep?"

Lu Xi'an asked her.

She shook her head and said, "I'll watch a bit more, you go ahead and sleep."

"Alright then."

Lu Xi'an said, got into bed.

But as he closed his eyes, he couldn't fall asleep, perhaps because he hadn't watched a bedtime movie tonight.

He tossed and turned for a while, his gaze suddenly landing on Yao Wei sitting on the sofa, then he got up from bed and walked over to sit beside Yao Wei on the sofa.

Yao Wei was slightly stunned, looked at Lu Xi'an, and asked, "Weren't you going to sleep?"

Lu Xi'an replied, "Couldn't sleep, I'm here to watch with you."

"Mm..."

Yao Wei said softly.

The night wind blew outside the car, but not a bit could enter inside.

The moonlight outside and the light inside the vehicle were tightly sealed off by the RV and the boards on the windows, making the interior and exterior worlds distinctly separate.

Lu Xi'an gently wrapped an arm around Yao Wei's shoulder, and Yao Wei naturally leaned into Lu Xi'an, resting her head on his shoulder, so naturally.

Their gaze remained fixed on the video playing on the laptop, never shifting away.
