Chapter 218 Team's Day on the Road...
After turning the last bend, the silhouettes of Lu Nange and her companions completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Yuri slammed her hand on the wall, pulled out her walkie-talkie, and said, "Old Liu, get a car delivered to Xiaoge and the others. How long will this take?"
Liu Hanhai suddenly realized what he'd done: "My brain! I'm going to chase after them right now!"
After confirming with her mental energy that no one was around, Lu Nange took advantage of a blind spot to retrieve a modified RV from her spatial storage: "Let's squeeze in for now, we'll figure it out once we're out of the city."
No one objected, and they quickly boarded the vehicle.
Chi Yi and Ji Xian went to the driver's seat and the passenger seat respectively.
The RV sped out of the city, and Liu Hanhai and his group, who had chased after it in a car carrying supplies, couldn't even catch a glimpse of it and had to return disappointed.
......
Inside the moving RV, Chi Yanzhou's gaze fell on Shi Xu, who was sitting close to Lu Nange—this man was ignoring Zhizhi's struggles and forcibly trying to hug her...
Chi Yanzhou: "The Shi family wouldn't let Shi Xu act alone. We don't know what happened in the capital..."
Lu Nange rubbed her temples: "Sister Wen Qing, why don't you try to fix his brain?"
As soon as Wen Qing approached, Shi Xu hugged Zhizhi and snuggled into Lu Nange's arms.
Lu Nange used her wind shield to block Shi Xu's head: "Don't move! Sit back down..."
Shi Xu obediently sat back on the camping chair, a light, soothing aura surrounding her.
After the light faded, everyone looked at Shi Xu with a hint of anticipation.
Shi Xu: "Mom..."
Well, even healing methods don't cure the brain...
A brief silence fell over the carriage.
Gu Qi: "Nan Nan, Ci Ge, A Ye, I'm sorry, I've troubled you with Shi Xu's matter these past two days..."
Lu Xici: "Old Gu..."
Gu Qi patted Lu Xici on the shoulder: "Brother Ci, Shi Xu is our childhood friend, but he's a stranger to you, Nan Nan, and A Ye. These past two days, because of us, Nan Nan has had to put up with Shi Xu and take care of him. We shouldn't take it for granted. Thank you!"
Lu Nange raised an eyebrow: "I've beaten him up quite a bit; beating him several times a day doesn't count as taking care of him."
"Of course it counts," He Zhuo interjected, pointing at Lu Beiye: "If it weren't for our sake, you wouldn't have tolerated it so much. Our little Aye alone would have killed Shi Xu long ago."
Lu Nange: "Brother Zhuo, don't talk nonsense. My Aye is the most well-behaved and considerate kid."
Wen Qing: "That's right, Xiao He, our Xiao Ye is very well-behaved."
Lu Beiye propped his chubby face up with both hands and shook it: [As expected, my sisters are just fooling me into thinking I'm an embryo again!]
Gu Wan rolled her eyes at Gu Qi: "Brother, how is Nan Nan supposed to respond to this? You brothers, instead of wasting your time, you should teach Shi Xu to stop calling Nan Nan 'Mom'."
Lu Nange: "I wholeheartedly agree."
Chi Yanzhou: "Shi Xu has been stubborn since childhood; once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it."
He looked at Lu Nange: "Right now... I'm afraid he'll only listen to you."
The branches and leaves swayed wildly, and the vines wrapped around Lu Nange's shoulder: "Chirp chirp chirp..."
[Master, he's suppressing me with his mental power; he's bullying me!]
Lu Nange reached out to Shi Xu, and Shi Xu, who had been clinging to Zhizhi just a second ago, immediately let go, with astonishing speed.
"Mom," he called out, his eyes sparkling.
"I'm not your mother," Lu Nange corrected for the umpteenth time.
Shi Xu stubbornly shook her head: "I'm the baby, you're the mother!"
Three minutes later—
Shi Xu, sporting freshly made bruises, nodded obediently: "I am Shi Xu."
Lu Nange: "I am Lu Nange."
"You are my mother!" Shi Xu shook his head, his voice firm and resolute.
Lu Nange...
Gu Qi: "Shi Xu, you just need to know in your heart that Nan Nan is 'Mom,' but you can call her Nan Nan like we do. That's what we all call her."
Shi Xu turned his face away: "No, I won't be like you."
Gu Qi: [Deep breath. He's still a child, with the mental age of a three-year-old...three years old!]
Everyone: [Hey kid, you're pretty good at grasping the key points!]
"It's Mom, it's the baby's mom..." Shi Xu glanced at Lu Nange's expression and suddenly changed her words: "It's Xu Xu's mom!" The last syllable rose.
He Zhu clicked his tongue and nudged Gu Qi with his elbow: "Did he absolutely have to use that reduplicated word?"
Gu Qi: "Ask him, not me. How would I know?"
Chi Yanzhou: "Shixu is the most obedient child, isn't he?"
Shi Xu nodded.
Chi Yanzhou patiently guided her: "Look at us, don't we all call other people 'Mom'?"
Shi Xu thought for a moment, then nodded.
Chi Yanzhou pointed at Lu Beiye: "Doesn't your brother call you 'Mom' either?"
Shi Xu scratched her head: "Hmm...why doesn't my brother call me 'Mom'?"
Chi Yanzhou: "Your mother doesn't like people calling her 'Mom,' so if you don't want to be thrown away, you can change how you're addressed."
Shi Xu tilted his head, seemingly recalling the scene of being beaten, and turned to Lu Nange: "Mom, you don't like it?"
Lu Nange: [So you finally asked for my opinion?]
She stated with certainty and certainty, "I don't like it, I really don't like it."
Shi Xu frowned and pondered for a long time, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Lu Lu?"
Lu Nange radiated maternal love at that moment: "Good girl!"
[As long as you don't call me "Mom," I'll have no problem calling you "Gege"!]
"Lulu! Lulu!" Shi Xu jumped around happily in the carriage.
He Zhuo looked at Shi Xu who had just been beaten and his skin instantly returned to its original state, and marveled: "Is his recovery ability too unscientific?"
Gu Qi: "It's the end of the world, what's the point of talking about science?"
Lu Nange remembered the crystal cores in her spatial storage and took them out immediately: "We've collected quite a few level-three crystal cores this time, so let's all improve our strength together?"
The moment her fingertips touched the yellow level-four crystal core—"You use it!" Chi Yanzhou and Lu Beiye said in unison.
Lu Nange shook her head: "We're both at level four now, this one can be given to Big Brother or Brother Qi."
Gu Qi immediately waved his hand: "Just give it to Brother Ci. My water-based attacks aren't as powerful as fire-based ones. If Brother Ci levels up, our fighting strength will be even greater."
Lu Nange recalled a post-apocalyptic novel she had read: "Brother Qi, since the human body is 70% water, and zombies also have water in their bodies, what if you extracted it from them?"
Gu Qi: "Drain the body's moisture, yeah..."
He looked eager to try: "If I encounter zombies on the road, I'll give it a shot and see if I can handle it!"
Chi Yanzhou: "Brother Ci, stop standing there, hurry up and level up!"
The RV was parked on the side of the road.
Chi Yi and Ji Xian gave up the driver and passenger seats respectively, Chi Yanzhou took over the steering wheel, and the rest of the people began to absorb the crystal cores.
Lu Nange sat in the passenger seat, and there was a rustling sound behind her—Shi Xu and Lu Beiye were sitting on a small stool behind the passenger seat.
In order to prevent Shi Xu from harassing his sister, Lu Beiye had no choice but to bring Zhizhi and Gangzi along to play with Shi Xu.
Lu Beiye, watching Shi Xu happily eating, thought: [These brats are so hard to deal with! I'll make him build Lego all night!]
The RV drove quietly in the night.
No zombie roars, no mutated beast attacks, no mutated plants...
As the morning light pierced through the clouds, everyone was still immersed in absorbing the energy of the crystal core.
Lu Nange's mental energy swept across the wilderness and finally locked onto an abandoned factory.
As they approached the factory gate, an invisible spiritual force exploded the heads of all the level one zombies.
After getting off the car, the vines weaved among the corpses, swirling up the crystal cores and flinging the bodies over the wall.
The rusty sewing machine lay haphazardly, the fabric long since rotted into mud.
They chose the largest factory building, and after putting everything inside into their space, Lu Nange manipulated the airflow to create a small tornado, blowing all the accumulated dust and broken glass outside.
