It rained all day yesterday, but today is a sunny day. When I walked into the yard in the morning, I could still feel the moist residual moisture and the fresher air.
Maybe God also knows that today is Chinese Valentine's Day.
If there were no apocalypse, Qixi Festival would definitely be a must-have festival for young couples, and at least roses would definitely be sold out.
But for Lin Luo, Qixi Festival? Qi what? What Xixi Festival?
She had no memory of it and was not interested at all, if Xiaoyue and two other girls had not shyly handed Lin Luo a bunch of "flowers" made of rags early in the morning.
Lin Luo: “?”
The bruises on the three girls' faces had completely disappeared, revealing youthful and energetic smiles. "Ms. Luo, Happy Qixi Festival!"
"This is the flower we made. It's our first time, so our craftsmanship isn't very good. Please don't be offended."
Lin Luo: "...No, it looks great, thank you."
But, even if it was Chinese Valentine's Day, why would I send her flowers?
Hearing Lin Luo's praise, the three girls smiled even more. They wanted to chat with Lin Luo for a few more words, but it was soon time for the supply team to depart. They waved to Lin Luo and ran away with happy faces.
Lin Luo was left alone holding the bouquet of flowers, a little dazed. It could be seen that these "flowers" were carefully made by girls. Although they were made of cloth, every thread was handled cleanly. There were also some decorative beads embroidered on it, which must have taken a lot of time.
Lin Luo's brows softened a little, and he planned to find a nice vase to put the flowers in.
Come to think of it, this was the first time she received flowers from someone else. It was quite memorable.
Yun Shu, who witnessed the whole thing, felt a pang of distress...
That’s right, he didn’t remember or didn’t know that today was Chinese Valentine’s Day, and he was completely unprepared. So it seemed like he was outdone by others!
But at this moment, Lin Luo turned around and said, "They gave me flowers. Should I give them a gift in return?"
Yun Shu: “…”
Seeing that Yun Shu didn't say anything for a while, Lin Luo thought he couldn't give any advice, after all, it was a matter between girls.
She thought about it and decided to go to the basement.
Giving skin care products or nice clothes would be worse than giving some food at this time. What's more, the thing Lin Luo has the most right now is food.
She took a few bags of rice and flour. Thinking that Xiaoyue liked baking, she also took a few pieces of butter and a few boxes of light cream. Although Xiaoyue didn't eat sweets much, whether to eat or not was different from having or not!
“Lolo…”
"Yunshu, I'm going out for a while."
"oh……"
Yunshu was upset, but she didn't say anything.
Lin Luo was gone for nearly half an hour, and it was obvious that going back and forth between the two places would only take ten minutes at most?!
Just when Yun Shu was about to go and catch someone, she finally came back.
He also had a bag of things in his hand. Although there was no obvious smile on his face, Yun Shu keenly felt that Lin Luo was in a good mood.
"Yun Shu? What are you doing standing at the door?"
Is it still quite hot outside at this time? Lin Luo asked casually.
Yun Shu glanced at Lin Luo seemingly unintentionally, "Oh, I came out to get some fresh air. Why did Luo Luo take so long?"
Lin Luo put the things in his hand on the table, "Xiaoyue and the others found some wool when they were looking for supplies today, and said they wanted to knit something for me."
They were just asking Lin Luo what patterns and styles he liked. The three girls can all knit things. From what they said, it seemed that in addition to scarves and gloves, they also wanted to knit a sweater for Lin Luo.
Yun Shu: "...It's so hot. "
Lin Luo waved his hand. "It's just a token of my appreciation, and winter is coming soon."
Yun Shu: “…”
Angry! Aggrieved! Luo Luo never argued with him before?!
But? And the next second!
Lin Luo opened the bag he had brought. "Xiaoyue and the others didn't want my things, so I thought about it and took some wool in exchange. Yunshu, can I knit you a scarf too?"
"But I've never knitted it, so it might not look very good."
When Lin Luo was in high school, many of her female classmates were obsessed with knitting little gadgets, but she wasn't interested in them at that time. Now that she has free time, she might as well try it.
Swish——
If this were a comic, Yun Shu's back would be covered in small flowers. His tone became gentle, "Really? No matter what Luo Luo weaves, I like it. I will wear it every day!"
——It doesn’t have to be like this.
Lin Luo watched Yun Shu happily float into the kitchen, and her heart was suddenly filled with pressure. She really wasn't being modest just now. She hoped that Yun Shu would not be disappointed.
In the afternoon, Yun Shu went up the mountain again. Lin Luo didn't think much about it. It just so happened that she was planning to go to the town to kill some zombies. After all, the fewer the better. She could also move some gasoline by the way.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Luo returned from town.
As soon as the car entered the yard, she noticed something was wrong.
After getting off the car, Xiao Hei wagged his tail, held a small yellow flower in his mouth, and shook his head, looking very happy.
Most of the plants on the mountain have been polluted, but that doesn't mean they won't bloom.
In fact, once the mutated plants bloom, they will even be more colorful and beautiful than before. This is also a way for them to attract prey, but if you want to get their flowers, you have to kill them!
However, Lin Luo usually wouldn't do such a thing for flowers, but he didn't expect Yun Shu to do it!
Yes, not only the living room, but also the stairs, terrace, and even the kitchen... Lin Luo seemed to have walked into the "base camp" of flowers.
Red flowers, yellow flowers, two-colored flowers, multi-layered flowers... She had no idea there were so many strange and bizarre flowers on the mountain.
"Yun Shu?"
Lin Luo called out. Didn't he come out to see her quickly before? Why was he nowhere to be seen this time?
“Lolo…”
Yun Shu's voice came from the bathroom on the first floor, full of sadness, "Will you dislike me if I become ugly?"
Lin Luo: "...No, come out quickly!" She had a vague guess in her mind, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious and amused.
The mutated plants have various ways of attacking, but the most common one is poison.
Pollen, branches, leaves...all kinds of parts and methods you can't imagine. All people in the end times will remember not to touch plants casually, no matter how harmless they look!
Snap——
Yunshu came out.
Lin Luo: “…Puff”
Looking at Yun Shu's resentful eyes, Lin Luo immediately shut his mouth, and then used his mental power to check Yun Shu's body with concern.
It doesn't look serious. Considering Yun Shu's physical condition, there is probably no poison that can hurt him.
After all, the derived things are also related to the level of the plant itself. No matter how powerful a level one thing is, it cannot hurt a level five person. It's just... you still have to suffer a little.
For example, Yunshu, whose head is now swollen like a pig.
"I'm going upstairs."
Yun Shu was filled with shame and anger and didn't want to face Lin Luo again. She would definitely not leave the room before dinner anyway!
"The flowers are beautiful! I love them!"
Lin Luo's smiling voice came from behind, making Yun Shu almost step on empty air, but he quickly ran towards his room at a speed a little faster than before, without saying anything, as if he didn't hear it.
With a bang, the door closed.
Lin Luo smiled even more, and even hummed an unknown melody happily. At the same time, he wrapped these flowers with his mental power, so that if he touched them again, he would be fine, and it would also extend the blooming period of these flowers.
This was the first time that Lin Luo used his mental power to do something like this, which could be called a "waste".
But who makes her happy?
After mid-August, the temperature began to drop little by little, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the people of Zhoujiawu to work hard to build Zhoujiawu.
That evening, at the Zhou family's house.
Lin Luo, Yun Shu and more than twenty other people were all sitting in Zhou's house...having a meeting!
Conference theme: How to develop Zhoujiawu better and faster?
The core of the meeting: Everyone has enough food and clothing to eat and wear!
Over this period of time, everyone has become familiar with the people they should be familiar with, and their personalities and characters have been initially recognized. There are no bad apples or troublemakers.
After all, facing food and danger is the best way to see a person's character.
——This shows that everyone’s judgment of people is quite accurate!
This made Zhou Guangzong think that the end of the world would last for at least several years. Even if all the zombies were eliminated, it would take a long time to restore the world to its previous state.
I am already in my fifties, and if nothing unexpected happens, I will spend the rest of my life in Zhoujiawu, so I can consider things in the long term.
The supplies outside will run out one day, and they won't be able to go any farther.
"My initial plan is to tear down all the useless houses and use the scraps to surround Zhoujiawu. What do you think?"
There are about a hundred houses in Zhoujiawu, some old and dilapidated, some newly built. However, due to lack of good planning, these houses are built in a scattered manner, and the paths between some houses are not even wide enough for an adult to pass through.
But in reality, there are only so few people now, and those houses not only take up space but are also easy to hide things.
For example, some animals come from the mountains, and if you are not careful, people may get hurt.
It would be better to recycle waste and make Zhoujiawu more solid.
"I agree!"
Zhao Tao was the first to raise his hand in agreement. He and Zhou Guangzong had previously followed Lin Luo to the mountain to see if there was anything they could use.
But in fact, once you leave Xiaowu Mountain, if Lin Luo is not around, those animals and plants will be more ferocious than zombies!
Lin Luo also said that these things evolve very quickly, so they must prepare in advance. They can't always rely on Lin Luo.
"agree!"
"agree!"
…
Gradually, everyone expressed their agreement, including Lin Luo and Yun Shu.
After discussion, they decided to retain the Zhou family's five-story villa, two four-story buildings and one three-story building, all of which were newly built and had complete facilities.
In addition, there is also a Zhou family ancestral hall that has been preserved. Zhou Guangzong did not explicitly say what is under the ancestral hall, but the older people think that this place should not be moved. Well, not to mention superstition, it is also a kind of spiritual sustenance, so let's keep it.
Of course, Lin Luo’s home will definitely not be touched.
As for the question of what if someone comes back in the future, Zhou Guangzong is very single and says that let's talk about it later. You can't put yourself in danger for something illusory.
These four houses are not all used for living. Zhoujiawu does not have many solar power generation equipment, just four sets. The other two are small and require fuel, which will not be considered for the time being.
The Zhou family prepared the solar power generation equipment just in case after Zhou Guangzong came. The other three sets were installed by other villagers after Lin Luo installed the solar power generation equipment and they thought it would save more money.
Now that we are going to integrate the planning, we can consider many things together.
The first thing is to gather together things like freezers and refrigerators that can store food for a long time. These require electricity, and each building should have several of them.
Then there are some tools, such as knives, pots, pans, etc. that may be used in the future. They are collected together and placed in one of the three-story buildings. This building will be called the tool building. Each room is classified to make it easier to find things in the future.
The Zhou family's villa and one of the four-story buildings are all used for living. Even if there are more people in the future, there is no need to worry. For example, the Zhou family's villa itself is a five-story villa. Each floor has four rooms with separate bathrooms. Excluding the first floor, there are a total of fifteen rooms for living.
The Zhou family of six, siblings Wu Hao and Wu Yan, and Zhao's mother and son all live here.
The three female students, as well as Grandma Yao and Grandma Zhou, live in another building, so that the pressure of electricity usage can be slightly more evenly distributed.
"This is a huge project." Grandma Yao couldn't help but sigh. So many things in the house need to be moved out, the houses need to be demolished and walls need to be built. All of these things will take a lot of time and energy.
"Hahaha, the last thing we lack right now is time." Zhou Yaozu made a joke to try to make the best of a bad situation.
Indeed, with no entertainment options left, they now only have three things to do every day: practice, farm, and kill zombies.
"It just so happens that we have machines, cement and everything else." Zhou Guangzong proposed this matter after comprehensive consideration.
Yes, in order to build the sanatorium, the excavators, bulldozers and other things are still on that piece of farmland, and some construction materials were also transported there in advance, so the tools are quite complete.
"Okay, if everyone agrees, let's get started tomorrow!"
"no problem!"
"Hahaha, I haven't driven an excavator for a long time. I wonder if my hands are unfamiliar with it." Zhou Yaozu was also a good worker on the construction site back then. Did he learn how to operate an excavator?
"I can help dismantle the house and move things." Yun Shu raised his hand.
He was very supportive of making Zhoujiawu stronger and was willing to contribute his own strength without hesitation.
With Yun Shu's strength, Lin Luo estimated that he could knock down a building with one punch. He hoped that no one would be too surprised by then.
"The next topic is winter storage!"
Zhou Guangzong then talked about the second thing. Even though it is not September yet and it seems that winter is still early, some things will be too late if they are not done in advance!
"I think we can plant some staple foods like sweet potatoes in the field!" Grandma Zhou proposed the idea. She has changed a lot in recent times. She is no longer as timid and gloomy as before. She is more willing to chat with everyone and occasionally make a joke or two.
"Yes, the appetite of a mutant will increase as their level increases. We do need some food that is high in yield and easier to fill up."
Even though there are only a few people in Zhoujiawu now, there are six people with special abilities, not counting Lin Luo and Yun Shu.
"I think it's okay..."
"Then go again..."
…
Under the bright lights, Lin Luo watched as familiar faces passionately discussed and expressed their ideas on how to build Zhoujiawu. Their eyes were filled with expectations and hopes for the future, and there was none of the lifeless look that he had often seen in his previous life.
She suddenly felt that the changes brought about by her casual action might really be very different.
Everyone was a man of action. After the supply team came back the next day, they began to work together in batches, starting with the house at the entrance of the village.
Check each building carefully. Is it useful? Move them all away. Is it useless? Just ignore it.
Therefore, such conversations can often be heard.
“I think this is helpful!”
"This bamboo chair is covered in patina, old, and takes up space. What's the point?"
"What if... there aren't enough chairs in the future."
Xiaoyue: "..." She wanted to roar! Nothing is enough, and there is no way there will not be enough chairs! If there really is not enough, then sit on the ground!
This kind of situation is really unfriendly to friends who have difficulty making decisions and find it difficult to let go.
I think everything is useful, and the core idea is: what if I need it in the future?
Fortunately, these are minor matters and do not affect the disassembly process.
As he wished, Yun Shu demonstrated his unique skill - great force can make miracles happen, which quickly accelerated the demolition process.
During those days, Zhou Xiang and Wu Hao looked at Yun Shu with sparkling eyes, calling him "Brother Yunshu" all the time, they were simply two little fanboys!
It took about a week, and Zhoujiawu, which was originally small but had many houses and was very messy, was suddenly left with only five lonely houses and an ancestral hall.
It looks much fresher.
However, Grandma Yao and Grandma Zhou felt sentimental for a moment and quietly wiped away their tears behind their backs, but they quickly cheered up after comforting each other.
At a time like this, the most important thing is to survive and live a good life. Nothing else matters!
Looking at the piles of "construction waste", Zhou Guangzong waved his hand and said: "We will take a day off tomorrow and start building the wall the day after tomorrow!"
Unlike the wooden fence that Lin Luo and Yun Shu had built before, this time they planned to surround the village with walls at least four meters high, leaving only a few entrances and exits. Broken glass and other things would also be placed on top of the walls to ensure the safety of the village.
"Come on, eat watermelon, eat watermelon!"
Grandma Yao and Lan Yueyin came to comfort them with some cut watermelons.
"Sponsored by Luo Yatou? I have to eat it!"
Working together? These days, Lin Luo is responsible for providing various fruits and herbal teas. Everyone's relationship has deepened further, and they will occasionally joke with Lin Luo.
Lin Luo looked at the people in front of him who looked like black charcoal just coming back from coal mining, but were still smiling with their white teeth showing, and he couldn't help but frown. Is this probably the legendary "labor is the happiest"?
However, no one expected that before the wall was built, they would be met with a wave of... sneak attacks!
As mentioned before, as time goes by, the available food becomes less and less, and most of the land is polluted and cannot be used to grow anything.
At this time, some people chose to form a team and head towards the city. Although it was more dangerous there, there should be more food. However, a small group also set their sights on Zhoujiawu.
Zhoujiawu's supply team goes out to look for supplies almost every day. The surrounding villages are so small and have so few people, so their actions can't help but be noticed by some people with ulterior motives.
——Zhoujiawu is so far away, there should be only a few people there, maybe there is still a lot of food?!
——Yes? Look at them. They found so much last time. They must not have eaten it all!
——We have many people and special abilities, so what are we afraid of?
…
The end of the world will infinitely magnify the darkness in people's hearts. Without legal constraints and sanctions, many people who used to only dare to talk big suddenly gain the power to easily defeat others, and they really think they can go to heaven!
Many people huddled together for warmth and actually formed seven or eight decent teams.
The first one who wanted to take the plunge was a team of twenty people that ranked at the top among the teams. Fifteen of them were psychics, and the remaining five were fat and strong men. Such a team could indeed handle most situations.
However, these people were not completely overwhelmed by the power. After sitting down and thinking for five minutes, they decided to launch a surprise attack in the dead of night.
This is what they often say on TV: using the least amount of power to do the biggest thing, right?
Everyone who made the decision thought it was a great idea, and they'd even thought about beating up those Zhoujiawu guys if they dared to resist!
"Boss, are there any good girls in there? Don't get hurt!"
There must be a leader among the group to suppress them. The leader of this team is a 30-year-old man named Hong Hu.
Before the end of the world, all he did was collect debts and fight. After the end of the world, he awakened the earth-based supernatural power with powerful defense, which made him even more powerful.
"Fuck you, sooner or later you will die on a woman's belly!" Hong Hu's voice was loud. Normally, he spoke as if he was ready to chop someone with a knife at any time, and now it was even more terrifying.
However, the one who spoke up was also a younger brother who had followed him before the apocalypse. He was not afraid and said with a playful smile, "Don't worry, boss. This kind of thing requires mutual consent. I'm not that kind of person!"
In the end times, some women who really can't survive are willing to sell their bodies in exchange for food. After all, there are very few people who can truly face death calmly!
After a few more discussions to avoid any further complications, they decided to set off tonight.
There just so happened to be a man in the team who had built houses for Zhoujiawu before, so he was familiar with him.
"The place is small and there are many houses. We will definitely not be discovered if we sneak over there..."
As they moved forward, the man explained the situation of Zhoujiawu to others. His tone was full of confidence, and he was not even worried about the failure of this operation!
When they finally saw Zhoujiawu from a distance, the leader wiped his eyes in disbelief.
——Strange, where is the house?
Why is there only mountains as far as the eye can see? Did I take the wrong path? That's impossible! This is the only way!
Before the man could move closer to take a closer look at the situation, a shocking sound suddenly exploded through the loudspeaker!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!! Get up quickly!"
The sharp female voice can wake up anyone who is sleeping. The person on duty at this time today... is Xiaoyue!
The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: Yueguichenluo 10 bottles; Tu 5 bottles; ENINEI 2 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
