Chapter 155 The High Temperatures Have Begun
Yu Xiang looked at everyone at the table, enjoying their meal to the fullest, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips, a smile full of happiness.
"Although the butler is a zombie, you don't know, his cooking skills are no less than those of a human chef! Every dish is perfect in color, aroma, and taste," Yu Xiang introduced with a proud look.
With food still in her mouth, Shen Jia mumbled in surprise, "Uncle Butler is actually a zombie! He looks almost exactly like a human."
Yuxiang nodded gently and patiently explained, "The butler's zombie features were quite obvious before, but after eating the Corpse Fruit, he became more and more like a human. Whether it's his behavior or his expression, he's almost no different from an ordinary person."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yan couldn't help but secretly glance at Bronson and examine him closely.
At first glance, Bronson looks no different from an ordinary human, but upon closer inspection, one can still find some traces unique to zombies on his body, such as slightly bluish skin in inconspicuous places, and a vacant look in his eyes that occasionally flashes by.
However, overall, he is already very similar to a human.
Actually, if we're talking about the zombie that most resembles a human, it has to be Yuzuka.
Not only does she look exactly like a human, but her words and actions also show no trace of a zombie.
Qiao Yan thought to herself that as long as she found Chen Yunfei, with Xiaoyouzi's help, he would definitely be able to become like a human and return to a normal life.
But where is Chen Yunfei right now?
As a zombie, could he have already met with misfortune and been ruthlessly killed by humans?
Thinking of this, Qiao Yan frowned and gripped the chopsticks tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Qiao Yue had been watching Qiao Yan's expression closely. Noticing her unusual behavior, she nudged Qiao Yan gently with her elbow and asked with concern, "Sister? What's wrong? Did something upset you?"
Qiao Yan snapped out of her daze, smiled slightly at Qiao Yue, and tried her best to make her tone sound relaxed.
"I'm fine, I just suddenly thought of some things and got distracted."
After the meal, Yu Xiang warmly invited everyone to choose their own rooms to stay in.
She specially arranged Qin Zhuo's room to be next to hers so that she could take care of him at any time.
Night had fallen, and all was quiet.
Yu Xiang gently pushed open her bedroom door and slowly walked into Qin Zhuo's room next door.
Using the bright moonlight streaming in through the window, she slowly walked to the bedside and sat down, her gaze falling on Qin Zhuo lying on the bed.
She reached out and gently poked Qin Zhuo's face, her tone tinged with a hint of reproach and endless longing: "Zhuozhuo, when will you wake up? You're still alive and well, I should be overjoyed, but seeing you like this, I feel an inexplicable sadness welling up inside me."
"What I really want to see is you healthy and well, the you who always laughs at me for being heartless and loves to argue with me. I really want to wake you up right away and have you healthy and by my side. But the holy medicine in the game store is too expensive, I can't afford it right now."
"Moreover, base construction also requires a lot of game gold coins. As the leader of the base, I can't ignore my responsibilities and only think about saving you. When you hear this, will you say that I have no conscience? But if you continue to be unconscious like this, I'm afraid that one day I will disregard all reason and use all the game gold coins to save you first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Youxiang couldn't help but lean down and gently kiss Qin Zhuo's forehead. The kiss was filled with indescribable tenderness, as if she wanted to convey all her longing to him.
"So, Zhuozhuo, can you please wake up soon? You're very important to me!"
Yu Xiang slowly stood up, took another deep look at Qin Zhuo lying on the bed, her gaze filled with indescribable emotions, and then quietly left the room.
After Yu Xiang left, Qin Zhuo, who had been lying quietly on the bed in a coma, suddenly twitched his fingers slightly.
The movement was so subtle that it seemed like an illusion.
The next day, as dawn broke, the faint light streamed into the villa through the gaps in the curtains.
The people inside the villa were all awakened by a stuffy feeling, and they gathered in the downstairs living room, still sleepy-eyed.
Qiao Yue felt her throat was parched. She strode to the table, picked up a glass, and gulped down a glass of cold water. Then, frowning and looking irritable, she said, "Oh my god, why is it so hot all of a sudden? I turned on the air conditioner last night, but I still woke up from the heat. It's like the air conditioner isn't even on."
Shen Jia, standing to the side, kept fanning herself with her small hands and chimed in, "Yes, everyone was woken up by the heat, that's why we got up so early. This weather is so abnormal."
At this moment, Bronson walked out of the room at a leisurely pace. He was slightly taken aback to see so many people gathered in the living room, but then smiled politely and said, "Good morning, everyone. What would you like for breakfast? I'll go prepare it right away."
Shen Jia looked up at her, "Uncle Butler, you can arrange things however you like. We'll do whatever you say."
While wiping the sweat from her forehead, Qiao Yue looked at Bronson and asked, "What's the temperature today? I remember Xiaoyouzi told you to keep a daily record, you should know that."
Bronson nodded. "Miss Qiao Yue, please wait a moment. I haven't recorded today's temperature yet. I'll go check it now."
After saying that, he turned around to check the thermometer placed indoors.
Qiao Yue still felt unbearably hot. She glanced at Qiao Yan, who was closest to the air conditioner remote, and said urgently, "Sister, turn the air conditioner down a few degrees. I still feel unbearably hot."
Qiao Yan responded, picked up the air conditioner remote, and lowered the temperature by two degrees.
A moment later, Bronson came over with a notebook, looking somewhat serious, and said, "Miss Qiao Yue, the temperature today is 40 degrees Celsius, which is 7 degrees higher than yesterday. The temperature is rising much faster than in the past few days."
Qiao Yue's eyes widened in surprise. "How could it suddenly rise so much? It's only morning. What will happen if it's noon?"
Father Shen frowned and said worriedly, "When the day reaches its highest temperature, just how high will it get? The weather in this apocalypse is getting more and more bizarre."
Qiao Yan sat on the sofa and took a sip of water. "It seems that high temperatures are indeed coming. We need to prepare in advance."
What she feared was about to happen.
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Yan and said thankfully, "Luckily, Xiao Youzi had already guessed it and made preparations, otherwise we really wouldn't know what to do with this sudden high temperature."
