With the help of modern technology such as DNA comparison, the identity of the deceased was determined within two days.

Wang Ahua, 61 years old, is Zhou Agui's wife. She has three sons and four daughters, none of whom currently live in Zhoujiawu.

As the primary suspect, Zhou Agui was quickly taken away by the police for questioning, and the entire Zhoujiawu was in turmoil again.

What is this? Murder and burying the body!

A plot that only exists in TV dramas!

"Really? Did you really offend the ancestors?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you see the police are here? Are they investigating?"

"I want to stay at my son's house for a few days. Something's been going on in the village lately."

"Stop talking, it's terrifying. After this is over, should we hire a master to look at our Feng Shui?"

…

When Grandma Yao came to see Lin Luo, her expression was very complicated. "I didn't expect that her mouth is... a little damaged, but... not that bad..."

That’s right, this Wang Ahua is one of the ones who joined forces with the other two women to speak ill of Lin Luo.

After the entire village witnessed their ancestors' "anger," the three women, not as shameless as the former village chief, were constantly criticized and pointed at. They could no longer stand staying in the village and reportedly went to live with their daughter in the city. Unexpectedly, Wang Ahhua...

"What about Zhou Agui? Your wife has been missing for half a year and you haven't responded at all?" Lin Luo couldn't understand Grandma Yao's complicated feelings. Now, he was just a little curious.

He wasn't even worried like the other villagers, worried that the murderer was still in Zhoujiawu, worried that he would be hurt.

Although most of the people Lin Luo killed in her previous life were zombies, and people who turned into zombies could no longer be called human beings, she had also killed real "people".

Quite a few.

The order is in chaos, and with extraordinary power, there are always some people who indulge in the malice in their hearts and try to hurt others.

"How could he react? Even if we live together, we can still go days without talking."

Although Grandma Yao doesn't like Wang Ahua, she also has no good feelings towards Zhou Agui, a lazy man who raises several children almost entirely due to Wang Ahua's hard work.

But weren't many rural women like that back then? No one would ever think of divorce, and it was even less likely to happen when they got older.

The two of them just live together.

Wang Ahua would go to the village entrance after cooking every day to chat and gossip with other women. Zhou Agui would either lie at home and watch TV after dinner, or go out to gamble with other villagers.

Their children are now all married and have their own careers. They live a good life with a few hundred yuan each month, so they don't have to work in the fields at all and are idle all day long.

This is a microcosm of many elderly people in rural families. If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will live like this until they die.

But now? An accident happened.

"Girl Luo, you have to be careful when living with Xiaoyun. When you go out, let Xiaoyun follow you more often. When you go to bed at night, you must..." The main purpose of Grandma Yao coming here this time was this.

She was an old woman, penniless and worthless, so if something happened to her, there would be nothing to regret. But Lin Luo was different.

You are young and beautiful, so you must protect yourself well.

Lin Luo laughed and said, "Don't worry, grandma. If anyone dares to mess with me, I will definitely beat him up like a bastard."

After saying that, Lin Luo waved his little fist in a demonstrative manner, which immediately made Grandma Yao laugh.

After giving Lin Luo a few more detailed instructions to make sure that he took her to heart, she left. Grandma Yao has been busy raising chickens recently because she wants them to be more valuable, so she has to be more particular about the feed.

With such care, all the twenty chicks that were bought at the time survived and are very healthy and lively. It is estimated that they will be able to lay eggs soon.

Lin Luo was not interested in the so-called truth, and didn't want to get involved in such matters. However, the construction progress of the sanatorium had to be suspended because of this incident.

From this perspective, there won't be any major changes here before the end of the world.

Looking at the piles of construction materials and various parked construction vehicles, Lin Luo touched his chin, feeling that these things would come in handy when the time comes.

For this little hunch, Lin Luo specially bought some books and videos about architecture. Later it turned out that her hunch was indeed correct.

But just because Lin Luo is not interested doesn’t mean the matter is over.

Wang Ahua's interpersonal relationships are relatively simple. Since the body was buried in the fields of Zhoujiawu, there is a 90% chance that the suspect is a villager.

After all, this village is so remote, it is impossible for someone to come all the way here to kill an ordinary rural woman and then run away.

After investigating several people that Wang Ahua had frequent contact with and asking other villagers without getting any results, one day, someone finally knocked on Lin Luo's door.

The two policemen were obviously stunned when they saw that the person who opened the door was a very pretty girl.

Such a beautiful girl who could almost be a star lives in the village. Why didn't the villagers mention it when we asked them before?

On the contrary, he mentioned this person when he asked the village chief whether there were any new people living in Zhoujiawu this year.

However, the village chief also talked about this girl. He knew that she was a college student from a prestigious university who came to Zhoujiawu to relax and recuperate after her parents died. She usually drove when she went out and rarely communicated with the villagers.

They had no connection with a woman like Wang Ahua, but out of professional ethics, they still came to ask a question. Now, after seeing it, they found it a bit strange.

"You are Lin..."

One of the younger policemen was about to speak when Lin Luo suddenly sighed, "What a hassle."

As these three words fell, confusion flashed in the eyes of the two policemen at the same time, "Sorry to bother you." They took a step back and left together.

Lin Luo didn't kill anyone, but if he were to interrogate him, many strange things would be discovered. In addition, Yun Shu was there, and a tall and strong guy like him would feel a little nervous when seeing him.

After further questioning, it turned out that this guy was still a person without an identity.

In order to avoid this unnecessary situation, Lin Luo simply took the initiative and used his mental power to add a memory of the two people that had already been interrogated. At the same time, he also added mental hints to ignore her abnormalities.

Because he was a policeman, Lin Luo used more force.

"Lolo?"

After Lin Luo closed the door, Yun Shu poked her head out and asked, "They left so soon?"

Lin Luo smiled: "Well, we have no problem."

The atmosphere in Zhoujiawu was a bit tense, but Lin Luo and Yun Shu were still living their lives leisurely.

On the first day of July, Lin Luo began to calculate the results of the past six months bit by bit and check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

After all the shopping going on for a while, the basement floor was already packed with all kinds of supplies, and the third floor was the same. Some things that couldn't be put away were piled up in the two people's rooms.

Lin Luo has prepared a lot of things, from small things like table salt to large things like household generators and the diesel fuel they use.

On the contrary? Gasoline for cars not only takes up space but is also inconvenient to buy. Lin Luo plans to wait until the end of the world begins to get some.

The most important water source problem was also successfully solved. The two wells dug before were very useful, and the well water was sweet and clear. Lin Luo also tried putting watermelon in it, and it did have more flavor than the one frozen in the refrigerator.

Think about other things: eating, drinking, playing and having fun, it seems that we have everything we need, what else is missing?

Lin Luo still had some extra money, and he felt something was wrong if he didn't buy something in the last month.

"Yunshu, do you know of any other edible fruit trees on the mountain? What do you think about me moving that chestnut tree up here?"

Lin Luo's mental strength has improved a little after more than a month of practice, but of course it is still a long way from level six.

After all, level three is a hurdle, and level six is even more difficult to cross.

With the current mental strength, if the situation in other places of Zhoujiawu is not taken into consideration, the entire Xiaowu Mountain can be covered.

Her cover is not just a cover on the surface, it also has to take into account the deep underground, which is equivalent to all-round isolation. After all, those polluted things will spread through the air, water flow, etc.

In the early days of the end of the world, many land and water sources were polluted in this way. The air was relatively good, as it flowed quickly and carried almost no debris, so the impact on the human body was relatively small.

But the land and rivers are a big problem. If we rely solely on nature's own recycling and purification capabilities, it will take at least five years for the pollution to gradually dissipate. To ensure that it does not cause too much impact on the human body, such as zombification, it will take another five years.

Of course, the people here refer to ordinary people. If one becomes a superpower, the higher the level, the stronger the resistance to pollution.

There is another magical place here.

Just like the water produced by water-type mutants must be clean, the plants produced by wood-type mutants are also uncontaminated.

The mutant is like a transit station, filtering out the pollution before using it, but the premise is that it must not exceed that degree, otherwise it will also be transformed into zombies.

Lin Luo's mental power has the same function. After all, no matter how much water circulates, it will run out one day if it is not replenished.

At this time, we need to rely on rain from the sky as a supplement, and the mental shield is the purifier.

When the less polluted rainwater falls into Xiaowu Mountain, the spiritual power filters out the pollution, and the clean rainwater replenishes the water veins under Xiaowu Mountain for Lin Luo and others to use.

Lin Luo also bought some water purification equipment and clean mineral water in case of emergency.

When the apocalypse ended ten years later, this factor also had an impact. Unfortunately, people with superpowers are a minority after all. If the world wants to survive and continue to the next generation, it still depends more on ordinary people.

After releasing the protective shield, Lin Luo still has to replenish his mental power from time to time to maintain its function, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted.

However, because Xiaowu Mountain is close to Zhoujiawu, the supplies on the mountain are very ordinary. What can be plucked has already been plucked by the villagers several times. It always feels a bit uneconomical to spend energy to preserve an ordinary mountain.

Lin Luo thought about it carefully and decided not to give up the chestnut tree. He wanted to move another one first to see the situation.

If possible, the bayberry tree is equally attractive!

Yun Shu, of course, had no objection. He began to recall what other things on the mountain Lolo would like.

"persimmon!"

Yun Shu remembered that he didn’t really like the taste of persimmons, which was astringent and numbing on his tongue.

Moreover, the persimmons on the tree would often be pecked by birds before they were ripe, and he would not always guard the tree.

"Persimmon..." Lin Luo thought of the sweet persimmon cake, "Okay? I'll consider it."

Yun Shu recalled, "There were also those small, red fruits, sour and sweet."

Listening to Yun Shu's description, a name immediately popped up in Lin Luo's mind, "Miao Miaozi!"

Yun Shu heard Lin Luo say these three cute and adorable words in her own voice, and for some reason she smiled. "So cute."

Lin Luo thought Yun Shu was talking about the name of the fruit and didn't pay much attention. "That's how we call it here. The scientific name seems to be...thornberry?"

Lin Luo was unsure. "Forget it, let's not worry about the name. This is delicious, and it's not a tree. It should be easier to move here. Is it far from here?"

Yun Shu shook his head. "It's far, isn't it? But the branches are covered in tiny thorns, which is a bit troublesome."

Lin Luo didn't care, "I can handle this." His mental strength couldn't move a big tree now, but he could move a small one.

"Anything else? Anything else?"

Lin Luo didn't expect that there were so many treasures on this mountain that had not been discovered. She felt like she had made a mistake.

But it's not too late to discover it now. Instead of being contaminated and dying or mutating into lethal plants after the end of the world, it is better to enrich your diet.

Of course, we also have to thank the "living map" Yunshu, otherwise Lin Luo would not be able to discover so many delicious things by himself.

Afterwards, Yun Shu recalled some things and decided to transplant them back when the two of them were free.

It was already late today, not very suitable for going up the mountain, so Lin Luo was not in a hurry.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Luo returned to his room and saw that there were still no incoming text messages on his mobile phone. He realized that the two families had indeed been pushed to the last step.

She edited a text message.

"Four more hours."

According to the agreement, if the time limit is exceeded, the agreement will automatically become invalid and Lin Luo will not repay the money.

When signing the agreement, Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin were both willing, and Lin Luo did not use his mental power to hint anything to them.

But she also knew the nature of these two rogue families, so she just hinted to them not to bother her except to send money on time. Naturally, the two families would try their best to raise money.

"Girl Luo, it's quick, we'll be there soon!"

Sure enough?, the text message came in immediately.

Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin were indeed at the end of their rope. They had already borrowed from everyone they could, and some of them were willing to lend them money only after paying high interest rates. But most of the others who were thought to be able to borrow money were unwilling to lend them money after Lin Luo's publicity campaign during the Chinese New Year.

A small number of people do not like the behavior of Uncle Lin and others, but more of them have the idea that if I lend you money, you will get rich, but why?

Lin Luo knew there would be consequences when he exposed this matter in public. This is human nature.

So, after barely holding on for a few more months, Uncle Lin and his family really sold everything they could except the house, even the cars used by the two families for transportation were sold at a low price.

But there are still three months left, which means 300,000 coins.

It has come to this point, giving up is even more impossible, the two families can only sit down and discuss the house issue.

Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin each own a house in an area with the lowest housing prices. They sold the land in the village at that time and saved for a long time to pay the down payment. Now they have paid off the loan for several years, and still have more than 20 years to pay off.

But both companies firmly believed that as the area developed in the future, the housing prices would definitely rise sharply. If they sold it now, they might not even be able to get back the down payment.

They have to raise money and repay the loan for almost a year, right? They really can't bear it anymore.

Now the best and only way is to sell the house.

But?, whose house should I sell?

"Brother, I will definitely give you the money when we get the house."

"Mingyao, your nephew is getting engaged soon, and it's really unacceptable that he doesn't have an apartment. We'll sell it as soon as we get it, and we'll give every penny we owe to your eldest brother. We can use the money to buy a house in the city center! Then Xiaojie will have enough money to get married."

The reason given to Lin Luo at the time was that it was to allow Uncle Lin's son to settle down and go to school. In fact, it was not the case at all. If they really valued education so much, they would not have come out to work in society before graduating from junior high school.

"Brother, no? Listen to me..."

"Mingyao, listen to your elder brother..."

As July 1st was getting closer, the two finally had no time to argue anymore, and in the end they sold Uncle Lin's house, but with the requirement that their family would live in Uncle Lin's house until the new house was ready.

It’s just that they are in a hurry to sell it, and the location is very remote. It’s a mortgaged house, so you can imagine the price.

Uncle Lin was naturally unwilling to give up and wanted to get a little more. After a while, it finally came to this day and this time.

Now I can't care about anything else, any lower is better than nothing.

At 10:30 in the evening, Lin Luo received 100,000 yuan for this month.

She doesn't care how the two families came together. She just wants to say: Keep working hard even after the end of the world - keep living and don't die so early.
