Chapter 242 Oh my god, life has tricked me again!
From the first floor to the seventh floor, there were either missing windows or no doors, and the whole place felt desolate.
Ultimately, they chose the rooftop with a hole in the door.
The moment I pushed open the door, a cloud of dust rushed out, swirling and dancing in the beam of the flashlight.
This was a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, which had long been looted, with only some unrecognizable junk scattered on the ground.
Everyone pushed open the dusty windows, and Gu Qi immediately manipulated the water jets to wash every corner, the water carrying away years of accumulated grime...
After Lu Nange dried the room, Lu Beiye waved his hand, and the metal doors and windows closed tightly, leaving only a few ventilation holes.
Lu Nange took out a generator from her spatial storage, and several floor lamps immediately lit up in the living room.
Chi Yanzhou and the others placed floor lamps in each room, and the whole house was soon brightly lit.
In the center of the living room, a long dining table appeared out of nowhere.
Then came the enticing aroma—grilled meat skewers, chicken wings and drumsticks, and roasted rabbit meat glistening with oil, and roasted potatoes golden and crispy.
Neatly arranged next to it were fried chicken burgers, hot and sour noodles, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and pizza...
Finally, there were various drinks: sodas were bubbling, milk teas had straws inserted, and colorful cans were glittering under the lights.
Shi Xu sniffled and darted to the dining table, tilting her head: "Lu Lu? Can I eat it?"
Lu Nange: "Sit down first, and wait for everyone to eat together."
Shi Xu immediately sat up straight, placing his hands neatly on the table, but his eyes were glued to the roasted chicken wings.
After everyone was seated.
He Zhuo looked at Shi Xu and said, "Stop looking, you're drooling..."
Shi Xu turned his head to look at Lu Nange and Lu Beiye.
Lu Nange: "Eat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Xu grabbed a chicken wing and started biting into it, not even bothering to wipe the oil splattered on his cheeks.
Lu Beiye took small bites of the pizza, his cheeks puffing out.
He Zhuo took a big gulp of cola, then let out a satisfied burp: "Burp—only now do I feel like a human being!"
Gu Wan: "So you know you're not like a normal person usually?"
He Zhuo: "Hey, Gu Wanwan... I'm practically your brother!"
Luo Xingyou watched the scene unfold, chin in hand: "The frequency with which you two bicker is like a pair of bickering lovers, you're actually quite a good match!"
"Me and her? How could that be?" He Zhuo pointed at Shi Xu, who was engrossed in gnawing on a chicken wing: "Her true love is right there!"
Gu Wan instantly bristled: "Sister Xingyou, you're not blind! Hey, can you please stop bringing up Shi Xu just because you can't win?"
Gu Qi rubbed his temples: "Alright, you two, calm down for a bit, the food's getting cold."
Only the soft clinking of cutlery and the sounds of chewing remained on the dining table.
Chi Yanzhou put down his cup, his knuckles unconsciously tracing the rim: "Just one mountain, and there are so many mutated animals. This probably means our journey ahead will be even more difficult!"
Lu Xici swallowed the food in his mouth, looked up and said, "It's been two days, and the sun hasn't come out. It seems Nan Nan was right—the polar night has arrived!"
He Zhuo: "I understand. So, are we going to start living a life of utter darkness? Like rats in the gutter?"
Gu Wan: "Brother, look at him, all he does is make up nonsense analogies all day long!"
He Zhuo lightly patted his lips: "My fault, my fault. What I meant was, will we never see the sun again?"
"You can be ruthless with yourself!" Lu Xici took a sip of orange juice. "Anyway, that's the current situation; how things will actually turn out depends on the circumstances!"
He Zhuo: "Ci-ge, you understand nonsense literature!"
Gu Qi: "Based on previous patterns, this polar night will probably last for several months!"
He Zhuo: "Oh my god, life has tricked me again!"
Gu Wan squeezed ketchup into her fries and said quietly, "Well, it's okay if things aren't going well today. Tomorrow won't be much better anyway! Eat and drink as usual!"
Lu Nange: "Since things have come to this, let's eat first!"
Chi Yanzhou: "We'll rest here for the next couple of days, and while we're at it, how about we upgrade the car lights?"
Gu Qi nodded in agreement: "With the current lighting and the state of the world, the visible range is too limited, making travel extremely dangerous."
"The rooftop has space and is suitable for renovation," Lu Nange suggested, pointing to the rooftop after finally finishing half a meal.
Chi Yanzhou: "After we finish eating, everyone should rest well and we'll talk again when we get up!"
After the meal, the only bathroom was lit up with a dim yellow light, and the girls took turns washing up.
Although the outdoor temperature has dropped considerably, the indoor temperature remains stuffy and hot with the doors and windows closed.
Several ice buckets in the corner were covered with frost, emitting a visible white chill that dispelled the heat.
In the master bedroom, Lu Nange was styling Zhizhi's wavy hair.
Gu Wan sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, watching Lu Nange and Zhizhi.
Wen Qing and Luo Xingyou made up a temporary bed.
Gangzi squatted in the crib, tilting his head to watch everyone busy, occasionally calling out "Beauty".
The boys were scattered in the two secondary bedrooms and the living room.
Apart from Chi Yanzhou and Gu Qi, who were on night watch, almost everyone else fell asleep the moment their head hit the pillow after taking a shower.
