Chapter 59 He's awake!
In the room, only He Zhuo's heavy breathing echoed.
"Brother Gu Qi," Lu Nange led Lu Beiye to the window, "Let Aye and Sister Wanwan look after Brother He Zhuo for a while. Can you do me a favor?"
Lu Nange went in first and put all the desks, chairs, and cabinets in the office into her system inventory.
The desks and chairs in the three offices were cleared out in the blink of an eye, revealing the mottled cement floor.
"Brother Gu Qi," she said, pointing to the empty room, "could you use your water-based abilities to help me wash up?"
Gu Qi's lips twitched...
Standing by He Zhuo's window, Gu Wan couldn't help but laugh: "Nan Nan, you're always the one with the most ideas! Brother, hurry up and stop dawdling!"
Gu Qi resignedly raised his hand, and a clear jet of water gushed from his palm.
The water swirled in the room, washing away years of accumulated grime.
He only stopped when all three offices were completely renovated and turned back to He Zhuo.
Lu Nange took out a mop and a rag from her system backpack and winked at everyone.
"Let's dry the water stains in this room first, then we can move Brother He Zhu over."
She pointed to the scorching sunlight outside the window: "The remaining two rooms just need a quick mop; in this weather, they should be thoroughly dried in less than half an hour."
When Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici parked their car in the yard, locked the iron gate, and came in.
The office has become clean and tidy.
Lu Nange set up the air mattress, and Lu Xici carried He Zhuo over.
Gu Qi stayed by the bedside the whole time.
Lu Nange looked at He Zhuo's face, which was flushed abnormally.
"Brother Gu Qi, based on our observations over this period, the rate of zombie transformation is extremely fast. Brother He Zhuo has held on for so long, it must be because his supernatural abilities have awakened!"
"I think so too!" Gu Wan leaned closer. "Brother, good deeds are rewarded, He Zhuo will definitely be alright!"
Gu Qi looked up at her, a weary smile playing on his lips: "So, you're not saying your brother He Zhuo is a jinx anymore?"
"How can that be the same!" Gu Wan touched her medium-length hair: "He Zhuo got injured saving you! I'm not an ingrate..."
Her voice trailed off: "I genuinely thought he was alright, that's why I said that..."
Gu Qi reached out and ruffled his younger sister's hair. "I know."
He looked back at the unconscious He Zhuo: "You all go and look around, I'll stay here and keep watch."
Lu Nange and her group began to walk deeper into the farm.
Passing through the farm's office area, rows of neat greenhouses come into view.
When a lot of cabbages, radishes and green beans came into view.
It has to be said that even Lu Nange was excited.
Heaven knows that ever since Chi Yanzhou and his group appeared, the area has been almost completely flooded.
Among all the collected supplies, not even a single vegetable leaf could be found.
The three siblings would occasionally sneak food from the vegetables and fruits she had initially stockpiled at her own supermarket.
These days, their small team can only occasionally get meat.
Chi Yanzhou told everyone that Lu Nange had stockpiled them at home before.
Whether or not anything unusual was discovered, no one asked about it.
Now that we have this farm, at least we can openly and legitimately produce fresh vegetables.
Lu Nange's fingertips lightly brushed over the vegetable leaves, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up—from now on, vegetable freedom was a reality.
However, the quality of these vegetables varied greatly.
We can't just put the soil, roots, and even the bad parts into the space, can we?
"Nan Nan, what's wrong?" Chi Yanzhou noticed her changing expression.
"I'm thinking, with all these vegetables mixed together, how can I collect all the good ones at once..." Lu Nange said, pinching a yellowed vegetable leaf.
Aside from Ji Xian and Wen Qing, Lu Xici and the others all knew about her spatial dimension; what was put in was exactly what was taken out.
Lu Xici suggested, "Why don't we pull out all the good ones, wash them clean, and then you can put them away, little sister?"
Gu Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly.
"Nan Nan, let's pull out all the good ones, let my brother wash off the dirt with water, and then you can put them away! We can wash them again when we need to use them later!"
At this moment, Gu Qi, who was standing next to He Zhuo, felt a strange itch in his throat... Listen to me, thank you!
Lu Nange nodded slightly: "We've been running around all day, we're all tired. Let's get some rest and come back tomorrow?"
"Okay, okay!" Gu Wan affectionately took her arm and nuzzled her head against her shoulder.
Lu Beiye glanced at Gu Wan, then looked down at his own short legs, his face scrunched up in a frown...
Wen Qing suddenly spoke up: "Nan Nan, how about we pick some today?"
She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender wrists: "I'll cook everyone a fresh meal tonight."
Everyone's eyes lit up at this—Sister Wen Qing's cooking skills were exceptional!
Lu Nange immediately perked up: "What does Sister Wenqing want to do? Let's pick them now!"
Wen Qing tapped her chin with her fingertip and thought for a moment: "Eggplant...green beans...white radish..."
Suddenly, he waved his hand: "How about we just have a little of everything!"
As night fell, the group sat around a makeshift table and enjoyed a hot meal with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, a rare treat.
Lu Nange picked up a piece of green vegetable and gave it to Lu Beiye.
The little guy's eyes darted around, and taking advantage of Lu Nange's inattention, he quickly shoved the food into Lu Xici's bowl.
Lu Nange turned her head to look at him: "Aye, you can't be a picky eater. You need a balanced diet of meat and vegetables to grow taller."
The little guy pouted and took a vicious bite of the greens.
While chewing, he mentally berated himself: "Lu Beiye, you've eaten insects before, and now you're being picky about food!"
No, in my past life, I wasn't as tall as my sister even when I was ten. Could it be because I didn't eat vegetables?
Pick up a piece of green vegetable and continue chewing.
...
As dawn broke, nothing happened that night.
Chi Yi and Chi Yanzhou, who were on night watch, were catching up on sleep.
Gu Qi continued to stay by He Zhuo's side.
Lu Nange and her group went to the greenhouse to pick vegetables.
In the afternoon, when Gu Qi was called to wash the first batch of vegetables, Gu Wan and Lu Beiye took over guarding He Zhuo.
She leaned against the door frame, looking back listlessly, while Lu Beiye leaned against the window.
A slight creak came from the air mattress.
The two turned their heads at the same time and saw He Zhuo prop himself up and sit up.
"You're awake?" Gu Wan exclaimed in surprise.
He Zhuo waved his hand in a daze, and yellow particles fell down, piling up into a small mound on the ground.
"You've awakened your superpowers?" Gu Wan said as she ran, "I'm going to call my brother and the others."
"Brother, Nan Nan, He Zhuo is awake!"
Upon hearing the shouts, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and rushed towards the office area.
"Old He." Gu Qi was the first to rush to the bedside, his voice filled with relief: "You're finally awake."
He Zhuo nodded dejectedly.
Lu Xici leaned against the window, raising an eyebrow: "Lu Zhuo, it's good that you're awake. Tell your brother, why are you still looking so gloomy?"
He Zhuo looked up with a mournful expression: "Brother Ci, even if you agree to let me take the surname Lu now, I still won't be happy..."
"We've already given you permission to use the surname Lu, so what's there to be unhappy about?" Lu Xici said, suppressing a laugh.
He Zhuo pointed to the mound of earth beside his bed.
Lu Nange chuckled, "Brother He Zhuo, you're sad because you don't have superpowers, but you're still sad because you do?"
"Each of you is either lightning, metal, wind, or fire elemental, or at the very least, water elemental." He Zhuo glanced at Gu Qi.
Gu Qi... [Looking down on water systems? I've been washing the room and the vegetables, what did I do to deserve this?!]
He Zhuo: "Me, a trendy guy, given an earth-based superpower? It doesn't suit my style at all!"
Chi Yanzhou clicked his tongue lightly: "Young Master Lu, it's good enough that you have it, you're still being picky!"
