thump--
Zhao Tao and his mother actually knelt down in front of Lin Luo. Such a grand scene scared Zhou Yaozu and Zhou Xiang, but Lin Luo and Zhou Guangzong were very calm and did not show any fluctuation in expression because of this great honor.
This reaction also made Zhao Tao more certain of his guess that Lin Luo was not an ordinary person!
"Miss Lin, I've awakened my wood-related abilities. I only hope you can take me and my mother in. From now on, I'll obey your orders without hesitation!"
"Miss Lin, I'm a tailor. I can make clothes. Please, please take us in!"
Zhao Tao is from Dongfeng Village and is also a small auxiliary police officer in the town police station. He is the only son in his family.
Zhao Tao was filial and wanted to take care of his parents, so he went out to work in the town. Although his monthly salary was not much, it would definitely be enough to support his life in the countryside. He thought about working hard to get a job and finding a wife nearby. They could settle down and start a family together, which would be a good future.
Who knows? The end of the world is coming!
Everything has changed!
It happened to be Zhao Tao's turn to work the night shift that day. When he first saw the meteor shower, he joked with his colleagues next to him about making a wish. Unexpectedly, the police station received a call very soon.
Everything that happened next seemed to be fast-forwarded, and when Zhao Tao thinks back on it now, it still feels a bit unreal.
The government quickly asked the guards to organize people to go to the nearest South China base, and also sent a small army to assist. However, Zhao Tao couldn't leave his parents at home, so he drove back to Dongfeng Village.
Then I saw my father who had a fever and had red spots on his face, and my mother who was shivering beside him.
After hearing the leader's speech on TV, Zhao Tao already understood what was going on. He hardened his heart and tied up his father, locked the door, and hid in another room with his mother.
It’s too late to go to town now!
After a day of fear and trepidation, Zhao Tao awakened his special abilities and recalled the unscientific phenomenon that had occurred to Lin Luo.
Why--
Lin Luo sighed in her heart, so she would not easily forcefully change people's memories before. If she used too much force, the person might become a fool, and if she used too little, such problems would easily arise.
Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone who awakens superpowers can realize something is wrong like Zhao Tao did. Firstly, it happened recently, and secondly... he has good talent and a strong will.
At that time, Zhao Tao, after recalling what happened in front of Lin Luo's house, immediately became keenly aware of Lin Luo's abilities.
With no other way out, Zhao Tao made a quick decision to bring his mother to Zhoujiawu for a try.
And because of the previous case, he is more familiar with the current situation in Zhoujiawu. Fewer people means fewer zombies.
Zhao Tao at least has some special abilities and some tricks. Even if he really "guessed wrong", the chances of him and his mother surviving are very great!
Dongfeng Village is indeed closer to the town, but the town’s population… is absolutely overrun with zombies right now!
More importantly, when he was quietly observing the situation outside through the window in the morning, he saw the backs of Lin Luo and his group leaving quickly.
In other words, they arrived safely from Zhoujiawu to Dongfeng Village!
Sure enough, on the way to Zhoujiawu, there were very few zombies, and the mountain of zombies made Zhao Tao and his mother even more terrified.
After meeting Lin Luo, he didn't play tricks and directly explained his situation and what he could do.
"Village Chief Zhou, I swear I have no bad intentions." Zhao Tao raised his right hand. "Please take us in."
Zhao Tao vaguely knew that Zhou Guangzong's identity was not simple. The case was solved so quickly because of Zhou Guangzong's influence, so he also asked this person for help.
After Zhao Tao said this, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Lin Luo and Zhou Guangzong did not speak, so it was not appropriate for others to speak either.
Zhao Tao and his mother knelt under the scorching sun, sweat and rain quickly sliding down their cheeks, which made Zhou Xiang, who was standing beside them, feel a little bit sorry.
He just opened his mouth and then closed it.
——He can’t even take care of himself, so what qualifications does he have to manage others?
I have to say, this boy who was originally a bit rebellious has grown up very fast in the past few days.
"What is the purpose of your coming here?" Lin Luo suddenly spoke, and the question he asked felt a little strange.
But immediately, the stiff expressions of Zhao Tao and Zhao's mother made others understand that Lin Luo was using her ability.
"To keep my mother and I alive."
"Let my son live."
Lin Luo was not surprised by the answer, "Why did you come to Zhoujiawu?" This seemed to have the same meaning as the previous question, but upon closer inspection, he could find some differences.
As expected? The two of them spoke again.
Mother Zhao only said that she would follow Zhao Tao if he came, and Zhao Tao told her all his guesses and discoveries.
——He is a decisive and careful person.
Zhou Guangzong made a quick judgment. It cannot be said that such a person is bad. It is normal to have some small thoughts in order to survive.
"Village Chief, you decide."
Lin Luo is not interested in organizing his own power, but he is willing to give a chance to those who strive to survive, just like he did to Grandma Zhou.
"Don't bother me if there's nothing else." Lin Luo turned around, and Yun Shu followed closely. She seemed to remember something and continued to say to Zhou Guangzong, "I don't need anything from the village. Please help yourself."
It was only from what happened in the morning that she realized that the Zhou family was not short of food, but was concerned about herself and did not touch the things in the village.
Lin Luo and Yun Shu left quickly, and Zhao Tao and his mother also came back to their senses quickly. They still remembered what they had just said, and they couldn't help but be even more afraid of Lin Luo.
There is actually such power?
Then he looked at Zhou Guangzong and the others with pleading eyes.
Zhou Guangzong: "..." He sighed in his heart.
He had no psychological burden for killing the woman in the morning. This did not mean that Zhou Guangzong was a cold-blooded person. On the contrary, he loved this country more than many people.
After all, it is the place that I once risked my life to protect.
And the same goes for the people living in this country!
"You two should find an empty room by yourselves. Don't disturb Lin Luo or the young man next to her."
"Thank you, thank you Village Chief Zhou, thank you all!"
Zhao Tao and his mother thanked him crazily. They both had a premonition that they could survive.
Since he chose to keep someone, Zhou Guangzong naturally had to take responsibility. In addition to what Lin Luo had just said, he stopped farming and directly brought Zhao Tao and his mother to Zhou's house, and also called Grandma Zhou over.
Grandma Yao is in poor health, and it can be seen that Lin Luo takes better care of Grandma Yao. I'll talk to her about some things later.
"Although there are only a few of us in the village now, there is no order without rules. I have set the rules in advance. If anyone breaks them... I, Zhou Guangzong, have plenty of ways to deal with them!"
When he said this, he unceremoniously released the aura of years of bloody fighting, which frightened others so much that their faces turned pale.
The distribution of food and water, the people who go out every day, the people who patrol regularly, and so on, everything that could be taken into consideration was recorded one by one this afternoon.
Including farming.
Zhou Guangzong had previously asked Lin Luo how much land in the back mountain could be used. Lin Luo gave him a range, saying that as long as they could cultivate it, it would be fine.
Zhou Guangzong made a rough estimate and there were about 20 acres. Grandma Yao took two acres, and it was actually difficult for the Zhou family to cultivate the remaining 18 acres, especially after the two days of clearing the land. Their backs and waists were so sore that they wanted to sleep as soon as they finished dinner.
Even after the land reclamation is completed, it does not mean that everything will be relaxed. They still have to practice afterwards, and they also have to exercise and explore the situation in the morning. It would be better for everyone to take turns.
Zhao's mother is only in her forties now. She grew up in the countryside and has no problem farming. The few acres of land in Dongfeng Village are all managed by herself and her husband.
The same goes for Zhao Tao. How could a rural kid not know how to farm?
"We have to give one-third of the crops we grow to Lin Luo. It's the land she saved. That's the rule. As for you, I'll ask you later."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we just need the portion that is enough for us to eat!" Zhao Tao was very self-conscious.
He knew that most of the land outside was polluted and could not be used to grow vegetables. Now he had a piece of unpolluted land for him to grow vegetables. As long as it could guarantee food for him and his mother, Zhao Tao was willing to hand over the rest to Lin Luo.
As long as you have land, you won’t be afraid of starving to death!
Zhao Tao is a contented person, otherwise he would not have given up life in the big city and chosen to return to the countryside at such a young age. Now, as long as he can ensure the survival of himself and his mother, he doesn't mind the hardship.
After all, Zhao Tao knew that the situation was similar at the base. There were more people than there were people, and working hard didn't necessarily mean you could get enough to eat.
That night, no one slept. They went from house to house early in the morning, finding all the edible things, putting those that needed to be put in the refrigerator and those that needed to be stored away.
Then take out a portion and distribute it to everyone, including Lin Luo and Yun Shu?
Lin Luo, who was stuffed with food for no reason, said: "...Thank you, you guys have worked hard."
The next day after lunch, Yun Shu was sorting out the pile of food when she saw a small bag of ice jelly seeds among the things that were delivered. She immediately thought of the ice jelly video she had seen before.
"Lolo, would you like some ice jelly?"
Lin Luo blinked slightly. To her shame, she had never eaten ice jelly before, so...
" eat!"
Making ice jelly is not difficult. Yun Shu found a gauze bag and put all the ice jelly seeds in it. Then he poured a large basin of clean water into the washbasin and started... rubbing!
Not long after, sticky juice seeped out of the gauze bag, making the curious Lin Luo purse his lips.
——It’s a bit of a letdown.
"Lolo, help me prepare a bowl of lime water." Seeing Lin Luo's discomfort, Yun Shu sent her away.
Some foods may not look very good when they are prepared, but that does not affect their taste.
After preparing the lime water and letting it sit there, Lin Luo was sent to the living room by Yun Shu, who told her to just wait patiently.
Lin Luo: "...so mysterious."
Yunshu returned to the kitchen and took advantage of the time for the ice jelly to solidify to prepare other ingredients. She cut the watermelon into small pieces, prepared a bowl of brown sugar water, and added crushed peanuts and raisins. She also chopped up some of the dried cranberries that Luoluo had bought.
About half an hour later, Lin Luo, who was half lying on the sofa in the living room, saw Yun Shu coming out with a big bowl of so-called ice jelly.
The beautiful glass bowl is filled with jelly-like, chewy, translucent ice jelly, topped with a variety of brightly colored delicious toppings, which will increase your appetite at first sight.
"Lolo, try this bowl first. I made a little more. I put the others in the refrigerator." This was also Yun Shu's first time. He didn't expect that such a small bag of ice jelly seeds could produce so much.
Lin Luo scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth. It had the sweet taste of brown sugar, a refreshing texture, and the addition of watermelon and dried fruits... Having a bowl of this in the hot summer was really a great way to relieve greasiness and cool down.
"tasty!"
Lin Luo gave Yunshu a thumbs up and said, "Yunshu, you should try it too."
Yun Shu was not polite either, so the two people who had just finished lunch finished two full bowls of ice jelly.
Lin Luo was not stingy and gave some to everyone else. Zhou Mengjie was particularly happy to eat it, and the smile on her face finally looked like a real eleven-year-old girl.
With the addition of Zhao Tao and Zhao's mother, except for Lin Luo and Yun Shu who still go to kill zombies at seven in the morning, the others have changed to a shift system.
It's not like before where everyone goes out, which would make the target too big and unnecessary. Instead, it's half and half, with some people going out to clear the roads and replenish food, and the other half is responsible for doing some chores at home, including cooking, watering, etc.
As time went on, everyone found that the situation in the surrounding villages was getting worse.
Food is decreasing, zombies are evolving, there is no visible way out, power and water are out, there is no other source of information, and the country seems to have abandoned them.
In just a few days, many of the survivors could not bear the slow pace of the zombies and rushed into the zombie horde to commit suicide or to fight with others, making the already small number of survivors even smaller.
"Luo, Luo girl..."
That day, Zhou Yaozu "picked up" two dirty kids, a boy and a girl, who looked about eleven or twelve years old.
Both parents turned into zombies. They hid at home for the past few days until they had no food left. When they came out to look for food, they were discovered by zombies. At the critical moment, Zhou Yaozu saved them.
If it were an adult, Zhou Yaozu would probably just rescue him and leave, but... he is a child.
A child about the same age as Zhou Mengjie... he really couldn't bear to be cruel to her.
Lin Luo looked at the two children with clear eyes and said realistically, "It's up to you whether you want to raise them or not, as long as you have enough food."
The Zhou family consumes a lot of food every day. The vegetables in the field have just been planted, and now there are two more mouths to feed. Zhou Guangzong and his friends have to get more food and water every day.
However, ready-made food will only become less and less.
This is the sorrow of the end times.
"I, I eat very little!"
The little girl suddenly spoke up, "I can kill zombies too! Sister, uncle, please leave me and my brother behind!"
After the girl spoke, the boy also looked up and said, "I have a superpower, a fire power. I will definitely work hard to find food!"
After he finished speaking, a small flame appeared in the palm of his hand, indicating that he was not lying.
Lin Luo blinked. Were these siblings precocious, or did the apocalypse force them to grow up? They were both quite clever.
Sure enough, Zhou Yaozu and Zhou Guangzong finally decided to keep the brother and sister and let them live in the Zhou family.
Grandma Yao likes children very much. When she saw how thin the two siblings looked, she took the initiative to take out a few eggs to feed them.
Later, Lin Luo also learned the names of the two children. The older brother was called Wu Hao and the younger sister was called Wu Yan. They were both twelve years old and were twins, a boy and a girl.
Zhoujiawu, which was originally relatively deserted, suddenly had two more people. Together with Zhao Tao and Zhao's mother who joined in the past two days, the population finally exceeded double digits.
"Yunshu, go catch three chickens in the mountains and exchange them for a box of ice cream that the Zhou family got a while ago."
When Yun Shu heard this, a smile flashed across his eyes. Luo Luo...
He feigned ignorance, "Do you want a hen that lays eggs?"
Lin Luo: “…”
She glared at Yun Shu angrily, "You want to know? A rooster that lays eggs!"
In the end, Yunshu brought back two boxes of ice cream, as well as the gratitude of the Zhou family and the brother and sister.
After all, hens that lay eggs can provide a steady supply of meat. Grandma Yao doesn't have to worry about food with the chickens at home.
Lin Luo didn't want to see Yun Shu's smiling eyes, so he went straight to the second floor and stood at the window on the other side to see the twenty acres of land in the back mountain that had been cultivated and sown with seeds.
In fact, she was a little unsure of how to treat the Zhou family and others. She was afraid of indulging some people's desires. After all, there were too many such things in her previous life.
Just pretend you can't see her... Is she still there from the previous life? She's different.
——Forget it, just do as you please.
Lin Luo is not the type of person who would dwell on trivial matters, and her strength is enough to allow her to do things without so many scruples.
What if it's true? If it fosters the desires of some people, just kill them directly.
August 7th, the eighth day of the end of the world.
After a week of killing zombies, the people of Zhoujiawu have basically adapted to this kind of life.
After killing zombies and bringing back a batch of supplies this morning, Lin Luo told them to make their own arrangements and that he would no longer go to kill zombies at a fixed time every day.
With Lin Luo by their side, they always have peace of mind.
But in fact, as Lin Luo always said, she couldn't always be with them.
Lin Luo decided to drive to town alone.
It takes 40 minutes to drive from the town to Zhoujiawu. Lin Luo didn't plan to walk there, so he drove out of the car that had not been used for some time.
"Yunshu, take good care of the house. I'll be back before sunset."
The car started, and Lin Luo quickly disappeared in Zhoujiawu. Yun Shu was not idle after watching Lin Luo leave. He was thinking of various ways to make Zhoujiawu stronger, so strong that neither zombies nor humans could destroy it.
Drive all the way and kill all the way.
Then a strange scene appeared on the road. As a car drove by, the zombies fell to the ground and died one after another. The road, which was originally filled with many zombies wandering around, suddenly became much emptier.
The first place Lin Luo came to was a gas station not far from the town. It was obvious that the place had been raided.
However, they couldn't carry so much gasoline, and there was some left for Lin Luo. She didn't hesitate and directly filled the trunk with the oil barrels that had been prepared long ago.
Then Lin Luo continued to move towards the town.
According to Zhao Tao, on the day the apocalypse began, most of the survivors in the town followed the army, and it is estimated that not many survivors from other villages were able to reach the town in the past few days.
So, this town is currently dominated by zombies!
After using his mental power to conceal his own and the car's scent, Lin Luo slowly drove into the town. The densely packed zombies were indeed more numerous than in any previous village.
Although this town is not big, its normal permanent population is about 10,000 to 20,000. If we calculate it based on a two-thirds ratio, there are at least more than 10,000 zombies here.
Even the current Lin Luo is not sure that he can kill ten thousand zombies!
She quickly arrived at the supermarket in the town she had just been to, stopped the car and planned to get some supplies, but... Lin Luo's expression changed slightly, and a hint of disgust and murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
Most of the things in the supermarket are gone. They must have been taken away by the survivors when they evacuated.
Lin Luo pushed open the tightly closed door and stood still for a few seconds, "Don't point that thing at me."
Her eyes were fixed on a certain direction in the corner of the supermarket. A few seconds later, a dirty man in his thirties raised the dick in his hand and walked towards Lin Luo with a lewd smile on his face.
"Beauty, are you alone? Me too, why don't we go together? I know a place with plenty of food..."
Although he went out under the scorching sun every day these days, Lin Luo did not get tanned at all. His clothes were clean and tidy, and it was obvious that he was living a good life.
At this time, such a person is either very powerful herself or has someone very powerful supporting her.
Men naturally tend to prefer the latter.
——As for women, how strong can they be? Just stay in bed and keep warm. This one is really top-notch!
But before the man could get close to Lin Luo, his right hand holding the gun suddenly twisted at a strange angle. The man wanted to scream instantly, but something blocked his mouth, preventing him from making a sound.
Lin Luo had a blank expression on his face: "I'm in a bad mood to run into scum like you guys right out of here!"
At this moment, a sharp blade suddenly attacked Lin Luo from behind. This man had an accomplice, a gold-type mutant!
At the same time, two big guys suddenly rushed out from other hidden corners and pounced on Lin Luo. It seemed that this supermarket was a trap that this group of people had prepared long ago!
The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: 10 bottles of Guoli; 1 bottle of Yanyan;
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
