Sun Lao Er also awakened his superpowers, but it was a relatively ordinary speed power. However, when everyone is at level one, the speed power is also very useful.
For example, he is now flashing, wanting to take the initiative and teach Hong Hu and the others a lesson.
And the target he had his eyes on was naturally Lin Luo.
Such a beauty...must be well "protected" first, otherwise it would be heartbreaking if she got hurt.
Because Sun Laoer was rich, he had played with many women, but this was the first time he had seen such a top-notch one. As soon as he saw her, he made up his mind to get her.
At this moment, the image of a beautiful woman in panic seemed to appear in front of him... huh?
His thoughts were cruelly interrupted before he could finish them. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach and flew out like a firecracker. Sun Laoer hadn't even reacted yet. Of course, he would never be able to react in his lifetime.
The thought just now was his last thought in this world.
The one who kicked was Yun Shu. In his eyes, Sun Laoer's speed seemed like slow motion, so he clearly saw the vulgarity on Sun Laoer's face and the determination to win Lin Luo.
Yun Shu was instantly enraged and kicked without mercy, but his movements were too fast and no one could see clearly except Lin Luo.
Until Sun Lao Er bumped into the half-built wall next to him, creating a big hole in the wall, and broken bricks fell down with a crash.
stare--
The whole place was silent, as if the pause button had been pressed on everyone, not daring to blink.
As for Sun Lao Er?
Oh, I can't be deader.
He didn't even have the chance to say his last words. After all, his body had rotted into a pool of mud, as if he had been "run over by a steamroller". It would be a miracle if he could still be alive.
Quiet, dead quiet.
As the instigator, Yun Shu spoke first, but it was directed at Lin Luo, with a hint of disgust and grievance, "Lolo, your shoes are dirty."
Everyone: "..." Listen? Listen? Is this human language?
Of course, this was just a thought in their mind. After witnessing the strength of this tall and strong man, everyone except the people from Zhoujiawu, Hong Hu and the people brought by Sun Laoer, felt a chill in their hearts.
Especially Hong Hu, the female devil is already so strong, but her man is the same, how can people live like this?!
"Big brother, big brother, we were wrong. Let's go now, let's go now!" The boss died just like that, and none of the remaining brothers dared to speak. They didn't want to turn into a puddle of mud.
Even those with superpowers didn't dare to speak. They couldn't see Sun Laoer's movements clearly, but this man could kick him to death with one kick. Wouldn't it be courting death if he rushed forward?
Moving backward little by little, these thirty or forty people reached an unprecedented degree of unity, just wanting to leave Zhoujiawu, this hellhole, as soon as possible.
"Wait." Lin Luo's voice at this time was like the arrival of the devil, making those people look mournful, which was even more painful than the death of their parents.
Lin Luo has no sympathy, and even if he did, he wouldn't use it for something like this.
"The wall is broken, the ground is dirty, and you want to leave like this?"
Sun Laoer’s men: “…” Devil!
However, before they could say anything, the body started moving on its own. Dozens of people were cleaning up the bloodstains, sweeping the floor, repairing the walls... In less than ten minutes, the body was restored to its original state, as if Sun Lao Er had never appeared.
After doing all this, these people did not feel relieved at all. They finally understood why Hong Hu was building the wall. Now it was their turn. They were filled with mixed feelings and had no words to describe their pain.
"Alright." Lin Luo waved his hand. Just when they thought he was going to let him go, the next sentence followed, "When you go back, if you kill someone, cut yourself with a knife. Whether you can survive depends on your luck."
As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes widened instantly. Killing... Who among them hasn't killed anyone since the end of the world came? How many people has it been?
They wanted to beg for mercy, but how could Lin Luo want to listen to their nonsense? After placing a few restrictions, the group of people had no choice but to shut up and leave.
Then Lin Luo looked at Hong Hu and the others and said, "Leave after you're done. Understand?"
Hong Hu nodded faster than a pile driver, fearing that Lin Luo's next sentence would also be "kill one person with a chop." He had really killed two people before, and if he didn't chop well, it would mean death.
Fortunately, Lin Luo didn't say anything else and just walked back slowly.
She could see the difference between Hong Hu and Sun Lao Er. Although neither of them could be considered a good person, it was obvious that Sun Lao Er had done so many evil things that he deserved to die, while Hong Hu... probably belonged to the chaotic camp?
Lin Luo is not a murderer, nor is she a messenger of justice. Considering that Hong Hu and the others have done a good job and have been relatively well-behaved recently, she is not interested in having more strangers in the village every day.
Just give the necessary orders. As long as you don't die, these people will never make any waves in their lifetime.
Zhou Guangzong stood beside him without saying a word. If you observed carefully, you would find that he never refuted Lin Luo's decision. Of course, he would ask if he had any questions or concerns.
But in a big occasion, Zhou Guangzong would not take advantage of his seniority, nor would he think that there was anything wrong with what Lin Luo and Yun Shu did.
At this point, the two major forces in the area were defeated by Lin Luo and his men. In particular, after Sun Lao Er's men returned, their crazy self-hackin' behavior attracted the attention of many other survivors.
That day, the blood that flowed could have filled a small pool, and even more people died! In the end, only one or two people were left in the team of thirty or forty people. This shows what kind of people are in Sun Laoer's team.
Coupled with the disappearance of Sun Laoer, Hong Hu and his men became haggard and emaciated, and the situation became increasingly mysterious.
Although they didn't find out the details, these people all looked confused and said nothing, but everyone also knew that it was related to Zhoujiawu.
Zhoujiawu was suddenly shrouded in a shadow of terror. Even Sun Laoer and Hong Hu had failed there. If they went there, their fate would probably not be much better.
When they met the supply team from Zhoujiawu again, everyone chose to stay away from them and did not dare to have any bad intentions. They asked Xiaoyue to tell Lin Luo about this as a joke after returning, which earned her a slight smile from Lin Luo.
September is the harvest season.
Starting from the small cabbages, crops have gradually matured, and these two wood-type ability users have made great contributions to this.
Lin Luo receives fresh Chinese cabbage, lettuce and spinach every day, which instantly fills up half of her dining table with green. Sometimes, the food is consumed even faster than it grows.
Taking into account the big appetites of the two psychics, their meal times had long been increased. In addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they also added afternoon tea and midnight snacks.
Even so, the food is constantly increasing. It doesn't feel like the end of the world at all, but rather like a farm stay!
Lin Luo felt that if this continued, food would be wasted, so he decisively told Zhou Guangzong and the others that if they wanted to eat it, they could pick it from the fields themselves and there was no need to have it delivered to them every time.
Zhou Guangzong laughed. It was hard for others to get this dish, but for Lin Luo it seemed like a hot potato. However, they felt proud to have such a reaction.
I was originally worried that twenty acres of land could not support more than twenty people, but now it seems that not only can it support them, but there will also be some surplus. This wood-type mutant is really useful.
The supply team doesn't go out every day now. They basically go out once every three days, and most of their time is spent on practicing and training themselves.
Even the weakest Xiao Yue and the others were able to exchange a few moves with Zhou Guangzong, and their bodies became strong with muscles. They looked like they had been reborn, and were extremely energetic.
Seeing Zhoujiawu like this, Zhou Guangzong was very happy and expressed his desire to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival Gala!
We all get together to eat and drink, and it would be even better if there was a performance.
As soon as this idea came out, it was immediately warmly agreed by everyone. After being busy for more than a month, everyone was actually very tired. Of course, they would agree with it wholeheartedly if they could have a chance to relax and eat and drink.
Zhou Xiang even proudly expressed his desire to demonstrate his nunchaku skills for everyone, but Zhou Mengjie gave him a disdainful look, "Brother, you hit yourself on the head last time."
"Nonsense! I was really careful!"
"Hahaha."
Laughter broke out. Now? There are still two days before Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is more than enough time to prepare.
After hearing the news, Lin Luo also felt a sense of anticipation. During last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the house in Zhoujiawu was still under construction, and she did not live with Yunshu. She spent the Mid-Autumn Festival alone in the rented house.
Including her previous life, she hasn't celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival for family reunion, for more than ten years.
There are suddenly so many more people this year, it should be a lively occasion.
Xiaoyue, two other girls, and the siblings Wu Hao and Wu Yan began to prepare decorations with great enthusiasm. The party would be held in the Zhou family's yard, which was large and convenient.
Zhao Tao and Zhou Xiang were responsible for helping out, such as moving things, and the festive atmosphere instantly became thicker.
Of course, the most indispensable thing for the Mid-Autumn Festival is mooncakes!
It just so happened that Grandma Zhou and Mother Zhao both knew how to make mooncakes, and they started working on them the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Some fillings need to be prepared in advance, as it may be too late on the day.
When Lin Luo was a child, he had seen his grandmother make mooncakes. The mooncake molds at home were also left over from that time. Now, when he heard that Grandma Zhou and the others also made them, he couldn't help but come to see them with a hint of nostalgia.
As soon as I arrived at Zhou's house, I found it very lively.
Zhou Mengjie was acting coquettishly to Lan Yueyin, saying that she wanted to eat snow skin mooncakes. Zhou Xiang said that the crispy skin mooncakes with pickled mustard tuber and fresh meat were the best, while Grandma Zhou and Zhao's mother would order the traditional yellow skin mooncakes, which usually contain red bean paste or five-nut fillings.
There were only about twenty people in total, and their tastes in mooncakes were quite varied.
Zhou Guangzong was annoyed by the noise next to him, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Cook whatever you want to eat. If you are short of ingredients, find a way to solve it yourself!"
"What flavor of mooncake does Luoluo want to eat?"
Yun Shu, who was standing by, asked, his cookbook contained many kinds of mooncake recipes, which didn't look difficult.
However, before Lin Luo could answer, Zhou Mengjie's voice rang out.
"Then let's see who makes the tastiest mooncakes!"
It turned out that Zhou Mengjie and Zhou Xiang started arguing over mooncakes again. One said that snow skin mooncakes were a cult, and the other said that the ones with pickled mustard greens and fresh meat were the weirdest. Finally, Zhou Mengjie couldn't help but blurt out this sentence?
When Zhou Guangzong heard this, he thought, “This is a good idea!”
"Then let's have a competition. The winner...will be rewarded..." Zhou Guangzong was silent for a moment. What kind of reward should he give?
At this time Lin Luo spoke, "I'll pay for the prize, but it's a secret for now." She kept it a secret for a while, which immediately aroused everyone's interest.
It goes without saying that Lin Luo’s prize will definitely not be bad.
People like Xiao Yue, Yun Shu and others are even more eager to fight, because this is the prize prepared by Lin Luo!
——Must get it!
In the end, there were five teams that signed up for the competition, including Grandma Zhou and Mother Zhao’s traditional mooncake team, and Lan Yueyin and Zhou Mengjie’s snow skin mooncake team.
In addition, Xiao Yue was in a team with two other girls, Yun Shu was in a team by herself, and Zhou Xiang pulled Zhou Yaozu over and vowed to make the most delicious pickled mustard greens and fresh meat mooncakes.
The remaining person is naturally the referee.
Yun Shu returned home and asked the same question again, but Lin Luo blinked and said in a serious tone, "You can't inquire about the referee's preferences in advance."
Yun Shu: "..." In fact, it is obvious that Lin Luo must like salty food.
But there are many kinds of salty mooncakes, and the mooncake skins alone have many differences. Which one does Lin Luo prefer?
Yun Shu went to think about it by herself, while Lin Luo... went to prepare her "mysterious gift". She couldn't be too stingy.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.
The Zhou family's yard is now decorated with colorful lights. I don't know where they found the lights, but they are hung on ropes one by one, giving a feeling of Chinese New Year.
In the center of the yard was the Zhou family's large round table that could seat twenty people without being crowded. It was easily lifted out by Yun Shu with one hand.
However, because the Zhou family’s kitchen is so small, the mooncake team is acting separately. For example, Yun Shu is still at Lin Luo’s house now.
Zhou Guangzong and Grandma Yao were sitting under the eaves, preparing the dishes in their hands with smiles on their faces.
Today, Grandma Yao specially took out two live chickens, planning to slaughter them and eat them later. Lin Luo also provided some fresh fish and two wild rabbits.
"Luo girl, come here, sit down for a while. They're busy inside." Grandma Yao smiled and took out a small stool for Lin Luo. She also took out a handful of peanuts from somewhere and stuffed them into her mouth. "Eat something first. It's still early for dinner and mooncakes."
Lin Luo: “…”
She naturally began to shell peanuts. "I think I smell something burnt."
Zhou Guangzong laughed out loud, "It's okay, it's okay. Yaozu and Axiang were just burnt. It's not a big deal."
These two men have cooked only a few times in their lives, and I don’t know where they got the confidence to make pickled mustard greens and fresh meat mooncakes, which are quite difficult to make.
If they hadn't said that they would eat up the wasted food themselves, Zhou Guangzong would not have let them do whatever they wanted. Of course, there was also a hint of him wanting to watch the show.
Lin Luo curled his eyebrows and said, "I hope they don't bring up two lumps of black charcoal later."
"Hahaha, that's not necessarily true!"
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the mooncake competition officially began.
Lin Luo, Zhou Guangzong, Grandma Yao, Zhao Tao and the Wu brothers and sisters looked at the row of freshly baked mooncakes in front of them and began to think about which one to eat first.
Anyway? Zhou Xiang's one with one burnt black part and one white part should be eliminated first! They are afraid that the meat filling inside is not cooked!
Lin Luo was the first to taste what Yun Shu made.
There were eight mooncakes in total on his plate, divided into four types in groups of two, with different shapes and flavors. He cleverly tried to cater to everyone's taste.
In order to avoid eating too many mooncakes and not being able to eat later, Lin Luo chose a piece of crispy mooncake and cut it into a quarter.
The innermost part is a salted egg yolk, and the outer part is a circle of meat floss. The whole "moon cake" looks very similar to the meat floss cakes that Lin Luo had eaten before, but Yunshu's moon cake uses more exquisite ingredients. It is freshly baked and still emitting hot steam. One bite of it is really full of fragrance.
The puff pastry would even crumble, which made Lin Luo give it a thumbs up immediately, but he didn't show it on his face, which made Yun Shu feel a little uneasy.
Next is Grandma Zhou’s traditional mooncake set, which still comes in two traditional flavors, red bean paste and five-nut fillings, but this time the fillings are all homemade, which is more substantial than ready-made ones.
Especially the five-nut dish, which uses walnut kernels, peanut kernels, sesame seeds, melon seeds and almonds. The fragrance of the dried fruits combined with the sweetness of white sugar makes Wu Yan and Wu Hao particularly like it.
The mooncakes made by Zhou Mengjie’s group are very good-looking and small in size, just enough for one bite. Unfortunately, they are all sweet. Lin Luo doesn’t like them very much, but Zhou Guangzong seems to like them very much.
As for Xiaoyue and the others, the three girls made a new style of mooncakes in a very trendy way, like this one with a chocolate filling. When you cut it, chocolate sauce will flow out, making it look like an exquisite dessert.
There is also matcha flavor, which is less sweet than chocolate and has a little more tea aroma, making it perfect for making a cup of tea and enjoying slowly.
"Okay, let's think about it and discuss it."
Zhou Guangzong clapped his hands, took a sip of water and was about to move on to the next step when Zhou Xiang started yelling!
"Where's mine? You haven't even tasted mine yet!"
His words made Zhou Guangzong roll his eyes. "Look at what you and Yaozu have done. I don't want to have to go to the toilet on such a good day."
Zhou Guangzong had no scruples when it came to complaining about his younger brother and nephew.
Zhou Xiang was dissatisfied, "Uncle, you can't judge a cake by its appearance. It may not look very good, but it tastes absolutely amazing!"
Probably thinking that it was a bit bad not to taste it directly, Zhao Tao went forward to try it. As a result, he chose one that was not so burnt and when he cut it open, the light pink meat filling seemed to be mocking his naivety.
Zhou Xiang: "...That's to make you look younger."
——You thought it was steak, how tender is it!
Zhou Yaozu pulled Zhou Xiang over, obviously not wanting to lose face again.
This left four groups. They walked aside and discussed for about five minutes, and finally Zhou Guangzong announced the results.
"Ahem." He pretended to be mysterious. "Our jury decided this after a fair, impartial, and open discussion."
"The winner of the first Zhoujiawu Mooncake Competition is..." The long tail tone made Grandma Zhou, who was watching next to her, laugh. Why didn't she realize that her serious eldest son had such a side before?
"Yes—Yun Shu!"
"Let's congratulate him!"
Pah pah pah——
Applause broke out.
The other contestants didn't seem unwilling to give in. The event was meant to be lively and fun, so they naturally applauded sincerely.
Except for Xiao Yue and the others who were a little sad that they couldn't get Lin Luo's prize, there will definitely be opportunities in the future, and they will continue to work hard!
Yunshu’s cooking skills are indeed good, and his flavors are more diverse. Lin Luo only tried the one with meat floss filling, but he actually has three other flavors of sweet and salty.
In this way, the judges all felt that their tastes were satisfied and the votes instantly took the lead.
"Next, please invite Lin Luo to present the award to the winner!"
Lin Luo walked out again amid applause, which made her feel like she was walking on the red carpet, and she couldn't help laughing.
"I've prepared three options. Yunshu, you can only choose one."
Taking into account that everyone's needs are different, Lin Luo made thorough preparations.
"One." She raised her right index finger. "One hundred kilograms of supplies, food, drink, living or dead. You can choose whatever you want. There's no time limit."
One hundred kilograms?! In the apocalypse, this is a huge deal, and you can pick any one you want without any time limit. Isn't it like having an extra mobile fresh food warehouse!
If it were someone else, they would definitely choose this, but Lin Luo knew that this was the least attractive prize for Yun Shu. After all... he was her adopted son.
"Second, can you make a request to me?" The eyes of others froze instantly. This, this is even more exciting!
But then Lin Luo added, "As for whether to agree or not, it's up to me. I won't agree to every request."
This is normal. Otherwise, would Lin Luo be forced to do even the most unreasonable request? But this reward is still very coveted, such as Xiaoyue and the others.
——If I get the reward, it shouldn’t be difficult to let Lin Luo hug them, right?
"Three." Lin Luo continued without pausing.
Everyone's ears pricked up instantly. The first two were so tempting, so what would the third one be?
Even if they are not the winners, they are still very curious!
