Chapter 113
"I'm glad you're alive and have made it this far."
Lu Shiyu's originally calm mind seemed to explode as if someone had thrown a torpedo into it.
Wait, what did she just say?
"Um, do we know each other?" Lu Shiyu asked hesitantly.
Could it be that they knew each other when they were children? But she didn't remember such a person among her relatives.
"Wait a minute."
Wu Xi took out an old wallet from his pocket, opened it, and took out a laminated photo from the side.
"Look at this."
Lu Shiyu took the photo. The photo had turned yellow due to a long time, and the color had faded a lot. It looked very old. When Lu Shiyu saw the content of the photo clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The photo shows several children playing together with the background being an amusement park.
Lu Shiyu immediately recognized that the little girl in the flower petal skirt was himself. As for the others, Lu Shiyu only had a vague impression. They seemed to be childhood playmates who played together because they lived in the same building. However, Lu Shiyu had completely forgotten when this photo was taken.
Of course, the protagonist of the photo is not her, but another girl wearing a goose yellow top and denim shorts. Judging from her height, she is the oldest among the group of children. The focus of this yellowed old photo is obviously on her.
"Have you remembered anything?" Wu Xiyu asked with some barely perceptible expectation.
Lu Shiyu recalled carefully, but his childhood memories had long become blurred. It took him a long time to find a vague figure from his memory.
It seemed to be her elder sister who lived across the street from her house. Lu Shiyu remembered that the house she lived in when she was a child had two households on one floor. It happened that the family across the street was familiar with her family, so the parents of the opposite family asked their older daughter to take her younger sister to play together.
"Yeah, I have some impression..."
Lu Shiyu raised his head and was a little dazed when he saw Wu Xi's face.
The sister from the opposite family had long hair and fair skin when she was a child. The difference between her and Wu Xi's current image is a bit too big. Lu Shiyu found it difficult to equate the two at first, but if you just look at the facial features, you can indeed see the similarities.
Lu Shiyu blew his eyes and glanced at the old photos. For a moment, he was a little unsure how to address Wu Xi. However, Wu Xi didn't mind that much. When he saw that Lu Shiyu remembered something, he stepped forward and hugged Lu Shiyu.
"It's great that you're still alive."
Lu Shiyu raised his hands helplessly, then gently placed them on Wu Xi's back to comfort him.
Lu Shiyu felt that Wu Xi seemed to be crying, but when Wu Xi let her go, she did not see any traces of tears on Wu Xi's face.
Lu Shiyu handed the photo back to Wu Xi and asked, "Have you... been doing well these years?"
Wu Xi: "Well, it's not bad. After entering the base, I met some kind people who helped me. I didn't encounter any major troubles. How about you?"
Lu Shiyu hesitated for a moment and said, "That's pretty good. I have a relative who is willing to raise me until I reach adulthood, so I can go to school without any delay. Besides, I have opened a small restaurant at the Shuguang base now, so I have a stable income and no problems."
Both of them tacitly avoided the difficulties they encountered in recent years. People in the apocalypse were living too hard. It would take a whole night to talk about the difficulties, and it would only cause trouble to each other.
Wu Xi nodded and said, "That's good. But since you have your own business, why did you leave the base with those people? And now you're in so much trouble."
Lu Shiyu didn't know how to explain this somewhat complicated question, and hesitated, "Well, it's just a business trip. Actually, there weren't so many things to do. They were all accidents..."
Wu Xi knew at a glance that Lu Shiyu had boarded a pirate ship without knowing it, but when he thought about the other people's good attitude towards Lu Shiyu, he thought it should not be forced. Since it was Lu Shiyu's own choice, Wu Xi did not intend to say anything more.
The two people who met again after a long time recalled their childhood as the sunset fell, as if they were still good friends even after ten years.
Only when the street lights came on did Wu Xi take the initiative to end the topic.
"It's getting late, you should go back."
Wu Xi handed a pistol to Lu Shiyu and said, "This is my gun. You can use it for self-defense. It may not be effective against professionally trained people or people with special abilities, but it should be enough for ordinary people."
Lu Shiyu didn't expect this to happen. He caught it with both hands in a daze. He only came to his senses after his palms touched the cold gun body.
Lu Shiyu wanted to change the gun back, but Wu Xi grabbed his hand and held the gun tightly.
"Take it. I won't be in danger in the base. But you, without any special abilities, dare to run around outside the base with them."
Wu Xi felt that Lu Shiyu looked familiar when she first saw him, but she only remembered him completely last night. She was so excited and suspicious that she couldn't sleep. When she recognized Lu Shiyu, no one knew how excited she was inside, but she couldn't show it because it would scare Lu Shiyu.
But when Wu Xi recalled what the others had said before, and thought that Lu Shiyu, an ordinary person who didn't even have any special abilities and couldn't fight, was actually becoming a desperado with those people, Wu Xi almost couldn't breathe.
Wu Xi held Lu Shiyu's hand even tighter, and said word by word, "I can only feel at ease if you hold it."
"Okay then," Lu Shiyu shrank his neck under Wu Xi's pressure and said, "But I don't know how to use a gun..."
"It's okay. Dawn Base has a dedicated shooting practice area. It's not big, but it's sufficient. You can go there and practice tomorrow."
Dong-dong-dong-dong
Three bells rang from an unknown direction. Lu Shiyu turned his head to look for it but found nothing. Wu Xi let go of his hand and took two steps back, saying, "Okay, I should go back now. You should go back as well."
"Okay."
After Wu Xi left, Lu Shiyu was still standing there in a daze, staring blankly at the gun in his hand. The black gun body seemed to have a power of its own, and just looking at it made people feel nervous.
Lu Shiyu swallowed, feeling that carrying this thing back might cause some unnecessary trouble, but she didn't have anything to store the gun in.
Lu Shiyu opened the supernatural space and carefully placed the gun in it. The tension disappeared a lot after the gun left his hand. Lu Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief and planned to turn around and walk back to the hotel.
As a result, when Lu Shiyu turned around, he happened to meet Tang Zeyu and others face to face.
Several gazes met in the air. Shaoxing Yang and Yan Hong looked at Lu Shiyu with dull eyes, and Lu Shiyu was also stunned on the spot for a moment.
Why?
Just now, when she used her supernatural powers, she seemed to have been seen.
…
"Let me explain..."
Yan Hong nodded blankly and said, "Explain it to me."
Lu Shiyu: “…”
Explain...can't explain...
Lu Shiyu wanted to say something but hesitated, trying to say nothing over and over again. Her two hands waved around as she kept trying to speak and close her mouth. Before she said a word, her two hands had already completed a set of Tai Chi.
"Um... Anyway, um, probably, well, um."
"Well I have nothing to say."
Lu Shiyu was deflated all of a sudden, while Shaoxing Yang jumped up in anger as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"Why did you keep hiding it from us? Where's the friendship we promised you? Where's the bond? And you don't trust us at all!"
Shaoxing Yang was throwing a tantrum like a child who was furious but helpless. Every time he said a word, Yu's face and neck turned redder with shame.
When Shaoxing Yang was still crying and making a fuss, Tang Zeyu simply pinched his mouth and manually muted the microphone.
"It's late at night and some of the nearby residents are already asleep. Please don't disturb them in the middle of the night."
Shaoxing Yang, who was forced to mute his microphone, still refused to give up and made a whimpering sound to condemn Lu Shiyu's deceptive behavior.
Tang Zeyu turned to look at Lu Shiyu and said helplessly, "I still need to explain."
Lu Shiyu could only stammer and repeat the reason why he had superpowers but did not report them. Shao Xingyang was still angry and didn't want to understand at all. Lu Shiyu turned his gaze to Yan Hong who had been silent, hoping that she could give some positive reaction.
Yan Hong still had no expression on her face. Lu Shiyu asked, "You can understand me, right?"
"Yeah," Yan Hong said calmly, "I understand."
Lu Shiyu asked again uncertainly: "Then you won't blame me, right?"
"Well, no wonder."
Lu Shiyu: “…”
Damn it, why did she feel like Yan Hong was the angrier one.
Lu Shiyu then looked at Chen Yunliang. Chen Yunliang was the strangest among these people. He was neither surprised nor surprised, as if he had known it for a long time.
Chen Yunliang pushed up his glasses and said to the two people who were still sulking, "Alright, this is their personal privacy."
"snort!"
The two men turned their heads away. Lu Shiyu felt a little headache. If he didn't say something, these two men might not get better.
Lu Shiyu scratched his head, walked up to the four people, raised his left hand, opened his palm, and a round black hole appeared in front of them.
"My ability space isn't very large, but the space utilization rate is quite high."
Yan Hong tried to put her hand in and seemed to touch something. When she took it out, she found that it was a novel.
"Ahem, there's no need to look into this in detail."
Lu Shiyu quickly threw the novel back and continued, "The items taken out are random. Every time I need something, it takes me a long time to find it."
Then Lu Shiyu raised his right hand and opened his palm, and a similar black hole appeared on the palm of his right hand.
Shaoxing Yang stretched out his hand, and his arm disappeared into the black hole, but did not enter the space. Instead, it came out from the black hole in his left hand.
"This is another ability, but it's not very useful because the range in which the ability can appear is very small. So this feature can't even help me take out the trash."
Yan Hong was speechless: "Why do you always think about how to use your supernatural powers in such places?"
Chen Yunliang looked at Shaoxing Yang, who had passed his head through the black hole and was beaten by Yan Hong, and suddenly had an idea.
"Can you..."
After hearing Chen Yunliang's thoughts, Lu Shiyu looked a little skeptical.
"That should be possible. I'll try it."
Lu Shiyu retreated a little distance and opened two black holes again, but one of them was facing the sky.
On the other side, Chen Yunliang held a crossbow in his hand and shot at the black hole in Lu Shiyu's hand. The arrow flew straight into the black hole and disappeared, but at the moment it disappeared in the black hole, it came out from another black hole in Lu Shiyu's hand, and because Lu Shiyu pointed the black hole at the sky, the arrow flew upwards.
Afterwards, Lu Shiyu also tried Tang Zeyu's fireball and Shao Xingyang's water ball, and the results were the same. Even the things created by the supernatural power could be transmitted away intact by Lu Shiyu.
"Oh my god! That's awesome!"
When Yan Hong and Shao Xingyang saw Lu Shiyu's ability, they excitedly hugged Lu Shiyu and cheered. At this time, Lu Shiyu still couldn't understand why they were so excited.
But I finally coaxed him into submission, so I don’t have to worry about not being able to sleep tonight.
