Chapter 28: Xiao Lulu, is that you? (2)

Liu Jie and a few others were walking towards the second floor, wanting to see if there were any zombies or living people. The rest were scattered around the rooms rummaging through drawers. The only one who did nothing, Brother Li, was leaning against the door, lighting a cigarette and puffing on it.

"What are they doing?" Lu Weiyi made small talk while observing Brother Li's expression.

"Collecting food." Brother Li exhaled a puff of smoke, still with a casual smile on his face.

I probably didn't notice it!

Lu Weiyi pretended to go looking for food, turned around and went to the balcony, with his back to everyone. Just as he was thinking about putting the bead core into the space, he saw the bead core on his wrist disappear from his sight.

Lu Weiyi was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and pinched the short leaf on his wrist, and then a tender little green branch hit him with a snap. Suddenly something in his mind moved, and Lu Weiyi remembered that when this thing appeared, there was an extra consciousness in his brain, but it had been obedient for the past few days and Lu Weiyi had forgotten about it.

As for the disappeared bead core, it appeared directly in Lu Weiyi's space, and was neatly placed in a box specially designed for bead cores with other bead cores.

Lu Weiyi suspected that this thing could also directly store things into his space.

While he was using his mental power to observe other people, he was silently thinking about putting a pot of flowers on the ground into space. As far as his sight could reach, he saw another young branch as thick as a cotton thread extending directly from the soles of his feet to the flowerpot. He could sense where this small green branch was, and even when he concentrated, he could see the scene in front of the small green branch, as if it were a part of his body.

Once the flowerpot was touched, it appeared directly in his space, leaving a mark where something had been placed.

"Xiao Lu, what are you doing?" Liu Jie came down from upstairs and shouted loudly.

Lu Weiyi was startled and immediately put the flowerpot back where it was and turned to look at Liu Jie who was walking over.

"I've been calling you for a long time, what are you doing..." Liu Jie said in surprise when he saw something on the balcony, "No wonder you are staring at it, this is a good thing."

Only then did Lu Weiyi see that the balcony in front of him was covered with potted vegetables. The small tomatoes were already bearing fruit, in red and green clusters that looked delicious. The cucumbers had grown finger-long sections, and there were some green vegetables that should have been harvested. They were all seedlings at this point, but they were growing very well, and it was obvious that they would have a good harvest soon.

Liu Jie's words attracted several people to come over. Looking at the red and green things, several of them swallowed their saliva silently. In the week since the earthquake, most people have been eating fast food. Some families did not have much food in stock and some even went hungry for a day or two, especially after the zombies appeared. At this time, cherry tomatoes, which are usually not taken seriously, become particularly precious.

Several people moved the pile of vegetable bowls to the living room. There was already a small pile of things searched from the house on the floor, including rice, flour, some beans, and vegetables that had not gone bad in the refrigerator.

Brother Li took the lead and took a bag of rice and poured out most of it. He threw the rest away, looked at Lu Weiyi and raised his chin.

Lu Weiyi didn't understand.

"Brother Li means that if you kill the zombies, you can choose the things first," someone explained.

Lu Weiyi had done things like sweeping buildings with the team before, but at that time they would take everything away and distribute it all when they returned. This time, seeing them immediately start to "divide the spoils", Lu Weiyi was still a little uncomfortable.

But it is understandable that the team was just formed and the members were not stable yet, so it was safest to distribute the things they got on the spot. No wonder everyone carried a large bag filled with miscellaneous things in addition to weapons.

"I want this." Lu Weiyi's eyes were fixed on the pot of red and green tomatoes hanging from the living room, and he took the pot without any hesitation.

Someone next to me kept staring at me but didn't say anything. The others divided up the remaining food, but those few pots of food were left behind.

"You don't want it anymore?" Lu Weiyi asked them.

"We can't eat it directly, so it's useless to ask for it," someone said, his eyes fixed on the small tomato in Lu Weiyi's arms.

Lu Weiyi avoided his gaze and looked at Brother Li, the leader, "Don't you want anything else?"

"Yeah," Brother Li nodded, and scratched the interested one to see what he wanted.

"Can I take the condiments home afterwards?"

"Xiao Lu, we can't cook now, so it's useless for you to take those things," said Liu Jie.

"I'm going to stay here for a few more days, maybe I'll be able to cook someday, I want to take it back so I don't have it when I need it."

As soon as he said this, several people looked at him as if he were a fool, probably thinking that he didn't know that the earthquake had damaged the electrical circuits and gas pipelines. Liu Jie didn't feel comfortable to expose his "naivety" directly, and only said, "Then come back and get it later. The doors of uninhabited buildings in the community are all open. You can look for it yourself if you need anything."
