The light spot between Lin Luo's eyebrows was flashing rapidly at this moment, as if making a final struggle.
If Lin Luo fails to control his current strength, he will be seriously injured at best, or at worst... explode and die!
But at such a critical and urgent moment, Lin Luo did not panic. She had also survived various life-and-death situations. Although she didn't know why such an accident happened during this breakthrough, if she failed like this, she would never have become a strong person standing at the top of the world in her previous life!
Those chaotic images were still flashing, but the light spot between Lin Luo's eyebrows slowly returned to a regular flashing frequency, which also meant that Lin Luo had controlled the power in his body.
Even the violent emotion that came from nowhere was firmly locked up by her, and it had no chance of affecting Lin Luo in the slightest.
One day and one night, it took Lin Luo a whole day and one night to break through.
Yun Shu paced back and forth so frequently that he almost created two parallel lines in the living room. If he wasn't afraid of disturbing Lin Luo, he would even want to wait at Luo Luo's door.
So when he heard the click of the door opening, Yun Shu took four or five steps at a time and quickly went up to the second floor.
“Lolo?!”
Lin Luo saw Yun Shu's anxious face and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you worry. I'm fine."
She originally estimated it would take a day at most, but who could have imagined that an accident would happen along the way.
"Yunshu, I'm hungry."
See? Yun Shu still looked worried, so Lin Luo immediately changed the subject.
Sure enough, when Yun Shu heard that Lin Luo was hungry, he said he would give him ten minutes. He had already prepared some ingredients and stewed soup, so he just needed to process them a little more.
Seeing Yun Shu disappear on the second floor, the smile on Lin Luo's face disappeared. Of course, her breakthrough this time was successful.
Lin Luo is now a sixth-level psychic, and his strength has increased greatly, but the sudden changes during the breakthrough process are not so easy to get over.
At that time, he didn't have the extra energy to think about this problem. After calming down, Lin Luo quickly thought of a key point.
While Yun Shu was away, Lin Luo covered his room with his mental power and opened the drawer of the bedside table.
Inside were two black beads wrapped in cloth, the same two that had driven Yun Shu crazy before.
After being wrapped by Lin Luo's mental power, it was placed in this drawer. Unexpectedly... it almost hurt her.
Thinking of the unpleasant smell Yun Shu had mentioned and what he smelled when he broke through, Lin Luo was almost certain that it was them who did it.
I was careless and thought that there would be no problem if I wrapped it with my mental power. After all, it didn't cause any impact on her when I put it on the third floor before.
Lin Luo secretly reflected on his behavior in his heart, but he was more curious about these two beads. He thought they were only related to Yun Shu, but now they have an impact on her as well.
However, when the breakthrough was over, Lin Luo could no longer smell the unpleasant odor, as if it only appeared when he was most focused.
After thinking about it, Lin Luo decided to take the two beads back to the third floor and stuff them back into the grasshopper's belly. With the addition of a bead, the grasshopper didn't stand out too much except that its belly looked a little bigger.
Then I put it in this sandalwood dressing box. I wonder if my grandmother could smell the scent of the beads back then. Was she putting it in this dressing box to cover it up with the scent of sandalwood?
Lin Luo had no way of finding out, so she could only put the dressing box back in the innermost part of the cabinet, letting it be pressed down by layers of things. This was to protect it and also to protect them.
"Lolo?"
Yunshu's shouts came from the first floor?
"Here I come!"
Lin Luo finally turned around to take a look at the cabinet, and for the first time an incredible idea popped up in her mind.
Could it be that Yunshu and I have...some other relationship?
——How is that possible?
Lin Luo smiled to himself, then quickly went downstairs and saw a table full of dishes.
After washing her hands first, Lin Luo asked with a little doubt: "So much?" Even if she was really hungry, she couldn't eat so much.
It's already past nine in the morning. Yun Shu should have had breakfast a long time ago... right?
Lin Luo suddenly came back to his senses and thought, "You haven't eaten anything either?!"
Yun Shu blinked innocently, "I ate it. I just wanted to have some more with Luo Luo."
"real?"
Lin Luo was skeptical, but seeing Yun Shu nod seriously, she finally chose to believe him.
Yun Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He did eat, but his last meal was yesterday evening. Because he was worried about Lin Luo, he just cooked some dumplings.
And then...I haven't eaten it since.
This way, it's not considered cheating, right? I have to eat less later, so I don't get caught.
Because there were some minor accidents during this upgrade, Lin Luoduo spent two days consolidating his strength. After making sure that there were no hidden dangers, he went to Zhou's house and told Zhou Guangzong that he was going to the city.
"At this time? Are there any supplies..." Zhou Guangzong didn't say anything, but Zhou Yaozu beside him was already frowning. The heavy snow hadn't completely melted yet, and there was no telling when it would snow again. Originally, the people of Zhoujiawu were planning to stay in the village, but Lin Luo suddenly said he wanted to go to the city.
He naturally thought that there might be insufficient supplies.
Lin Luo: "...Don't worry, I have enough supplies. I just need to go to the city to check the situation." Zhoujiawu is too isolated, and Lin Luo also needs to know the situation outside in person. After all, what Yao Haichao and others say is not as good as seeing it with one's own eyes, and he has already planned to go to the city after passing level six.
Zhou Yaozu and Zhou Guangzong exchanged a glance and said, "Why not wait for a while, until spring comes?"
Otherwise, with this horrible weather, the car might not even start. What if there is another heavy snowfall and Lin Luo gets trapped?
However, Lin Luo had made up her mind. She came to tell Zhou Guangzong just to let them know, not to ask for their opinions.
Seeing Lin Luo like this, what else could Zhou Guangzong do?
He also knew Lin Luo's personality. Once a decision was made, it was not easy to change it.
"Then Yunshu will also join you..."
"I don't plan to take Yunshu with me. He will stay in the village."
Yun Shu knew about this matter earlier than they did. Lin Luo originally thought that he should persuade Yun Shu and analyze the situation with him, but he didn't expect that Yun Shu would cheer up immediately after being lost for a moment, and just repeatedly emphasized that Lin Luo should pay attention to safety and protect himself.
Zhou Guangzong was completely helpless, but since everyone involved agreed, he didn't try to persuade Lin Luo anymore. He just hinted to her to carry some "good things" with her just in case.
These good things naturally refer to those under the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall.
Lin Luo did not refuse this time, but although she brought it, she didn't think she could use it.
As for the others, Lin Luo didn't tell them one by one. She was only going to be gone for two days, so there was no need to act like she wouldn't be back for a year or two.
The next morning, when most people were still asleep, Lin Luo and the car had already quietly left Zhoujiawu, and Yun Shu, who watched her leave, stood there quietly for a while.
He turned around and closed the door.
He had thought of many ways to quickly improve his strength before, and finally decided: to break through between life and death!
This is the most "reliable" method Yun Shu can think of at the moment. His current life is too comfortable and he needs a little excitement. The place Yun Shu chose is naturally - Tianshu Mountains!
Lin Luo and Yun Shu are both protecting the people and things they want to protect in their own ways.
The road to the town was smooth. Although there was still some unmelted snow that had turned into thick ice, Lin Luo didn't drive very fast so it was fine.
After three months of fighting, the number of zombies in the town and nearby villages has dropped sharply. The population of this place is not large, and Lin Luo sometimes kills thousands of zombies in one trip. Combined with the efforts of others, there is now more open space when walking outside.
Yes, there are fewer zombies, and the same goes for humans, or even fewer.
But after setting out on the road to the city, the number of zombies gradually increased, and the entire road was almost densely packed with zombies wandering out of the city.
How many people are there in a city?
Wenjiang City is probably between the third and fourth tier cities, with a population of about one million. If we calculate two-thirds of the population, there are at least 600,000 zombies.
Lin Luo drove and killed almost all the way, regardless of whether it was level one or level two, and it took him half an hour to reach the outermost circle of Wenjiang City.
Behind her car were piles of zombie corpses. A rough estimate would show that there were no less than ten thousand of them!
In the short term, this road will be incredibly safe.
But after entering the city, Lin Luo stopped doing that. She wrapped her mental power around the car, concealed her own breath, and began to drive slowly on the road. Occasionally, when she encountered a zombie blocking the road, she would kill it silently.
Wenjiang City is a city that Lin Luo is relatively familiar with, but compared to four months ago, this city has now become a completely dead city.
Lin Luo came to the mall where he had bought clothes for Yun Shu before. After parking the car, he walked into the most prosperous place in the city alone, carrying a backpack and a long sword.
The ground was littered with garbage and dirty clothes, and there was an unpleasant smell of decay. It was obvious how chaotic the situation was before this place passed by.
Lin Luo took a casual stroll and found that almost everything that could be taken away had been taken away, and there was no possibility of food being left. The only things that could move were zombies.
After quickly finishing his tour, Lin Luo went to the city library next.
This place is better than the shopping mall just now. After all, food is much more important than books in the end times. Lin Luo flipped through and found some books on electronic products and some miscellaneous books and put them in the car to give to Yun Shu and other people in Zhoujiawu.
This winter will be long, so it would be nice to give them something to pass the time.
It was already noon when they finished all this. Lin Luo returned to the car and opened one of the three-layer luxury lunch boxes that Yun Shu had prepared for her. It contained four dishes and a soup, with rice that was tightly packed. Yun Shu was probably afraid that Lin Luo would not be full.
The lunch box has a very good heat preservation effect. As soon as it is opened, hot steam comes out. The whole car is instantly filled with the aroma of food. However, only this meal and the one in the evening can be eaten hot. Tomorrow I will have to eat "dry food" with hot water!
It's not always convenient to go out.
After a delicious meal, Lin Luo rested in the car and recovered her mental strength. She would not underestimate the zombies just because of her promotion.
Can a large number of ants kill a big elephant?
Lin Luo's third stop was the home appliance city in Wenjiang City. She wanted to look for any "undiscovered" power generation equipment. Currently, the electricity in Zhoujiawu was still a little insufficient.
At times like this, I can’t help but miss the developed online shopping. I can just search for what I want, unlike now when I have to go from store to store to look for it, and I don’t even know if this kind of thing exists in this small city.
Fortunately, Lin Luo's luck was not bad.
After searching more than a dozen stores, I finally found a small generator in a small store. It was the kind that burned diesel and was probably kept by the merchant.
This thing is hidden a little secretly, otherwise it would have been moved away by the surviving humans in the city long ago. After all, electricity is still very important to modern life.
He used his mental power to move it to the car. There were also two barrels of diesel, which were also placed there by the merchant. Lin Luo caught them all.
To be honest, what Lin Luo wanted most was solar power generation equipment, but he didn't find any trace of it after walking around the entire home appliance store. Instead, there was a small freezer in the trunk of the car, which instantly took up more than half of the space in the car.
——It seems that I underestimated my ability to stockpile goods?
Looking at the little space left, Lin Luo began to consider going back today. Otherwise, it would be difficult to see something he liked but not be able to take it away.
But? Even if we go back today, it’s still early.
Lin Luo didn't have a fixed destination next, so he drove around Wenjiang City casually.
I happened to come to the largest vegetable market in Wenjiang City.
Needless to say, this place must have been emptied by the survivors long ago. Lin Luo just swept his mental power around casually and was about to leave because the smell here was too bad.
However……
She stopped the car.
Lin Luo walked towards the huge ice storage in the vegetable market with an expressionless face. In the past, this place was used to store frozen goods, such as seafood.
Logically, it should have lost its original function after the end of the world due to the lack of electricity, but now... this ice storage has developed a new function.
Clang——
The solid lock on the ice storage suddenly broke and fell to the ground. The heavy door slowly opened and a foul odor hit us in the face.
The ice storage is equipped with an exhaust fan, but it doesn't seem to be very effective.
“Who is it?!”
At the same time, two "questions" were heard, and there were two big men wrapped like bears, and a pregnant woman who looked quite pregnant.
The sound just now was made by the two big men. They had rosy complexions and did not look like people struggling in the end times. The pregnant woman, on the other hand, had a numb face and was pale and thin.
Look again? This ice storage is full of "cured meat" hanging around, mixed with the foul smell. I don't know how these people can stay there.
This is not the first time that Lin Luo has encountered this kind of situation.
What should we do if there is no food in the end times?
Even in ancient times, people would eat their own children, and the situation is not much better in modern times.
Human moral standards are only effective when people can ensure they have enough food and clothing. Once they are in desperate situations, any "unscrupulous" thing may happen.
That’s right, these hanging “cured meats” are not pork or other animal meat, but human flesh!
"Who are you?!" The two big men instantly picked up the butcher knives in their hands and stared at Lin Luo fiercely, as if she would be met with two sharp machetes as soon as she made any movement.
Lin Luo's cleanliness and appearance were out of tune with this filthy environment. If it was before the end of the world, the two of them might have looked at her a few more times and fantasized about her in private.
But in the end times, when you meet such a weird person, your first reaction is danger!
No one knew better than them how big and heavy the lock on the door and the ice storage door were, so they usually entered and exited through another hidden small door.
But Lin Luo came in openly through the main gate. Even though it seemed like there was only one person there, the big men did not dare to be careless.
"Kill your people."
Almost at the moment Lin Luo opened her mouth, a ball of fire and a kitchen knife suddenly appeared less than ten centimeters away from her. It turned out that these two big men were both psychics!
They were also very "cunning" and knew the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand, but unfortunately, the person they met was Lin Luo.
The flames and the kitchen knife could not make any further progress, but the two big men started rolling on the ground with their heads in their hands, looking very painful.
Lin Luo just simulated the pain of being dismembered in their minds, hoping that the two would like it.
Then she finally had time to look at the pregnant woman with dull eyes beside her and said, "Hello, do you want to vent?"
At the same time, use your mental power to comfort the expectant mother, otherwise she probably won't be able to get over it.
Lin Luo didn't think that the two big men were keeping the pregnant woman out of kindness. They probably thought that she was worth two people at a time.
"Will he, will they die?"
After a long time, the pregnant woman finally made a hoarse sound, and there was finally a little light in her originally lifeless eyes.
"Yes, you can decide how they die." Lin Luo said seriously. The screams beside her ears could not affect her at all.
The pregnant woman fell silent. Lin Luo did not urge her. He glanced at the ice storage to see the amount of "cured meat" in stock. These two people must have killed at least twenty or thirty people, not to mention what they had eaten during this period.
If it weren't for Lin Luo, this meat should have allowed them to live for more than a month, and then... maybe they would chop each other?
"I think," the pregnant woman said again, "they were dismembered while conscious."
Her right hand involuntarily touched her belly, her eyes were dry, and she seemed to want to cry but couldn't.
She and her husband were unlucky and did not catch up with the first wave of troops evacuating, but her husband awakened his special powers, which allowed the two of them to survive for more than two months in the apocalypse.
Until... I came to this vegetable market!
She watched helplessly as her husband was dismembered and hung up to be used as pickled meat. The two demons even forced her... forced her to eat a bite of her husband's flesh!
No, more than one bite! She ate human flesh, human flesh! The pregnant woman tried to commit suicide countless times, but failed every time.
"Sure." Lin Luo nodded. "Do you want to do it yourself? They won't resist."
The screams stopped abruptly, and the two big men now had fear on their faces. It was obvious that Lin Luo deliberately let them hear the conversation.
"I, I was wrong!"
"Please, spare me! I won't do it again! Never again!"
There was complete fear in their cries for mercy, and the images of those they had dismembered seemed to reappear before their eyes.
There are young, old, small...
I remember there was a little girl about ten years old with round and cute eyes. Her father begged them desperately to let her go.
But what did the two big men do?
They first took out their sexual desire on the little girl, and then chopped her up while she was still breathing.
I have to say, the little girl's flesh is really tender!
If so, when they first did this, they felt a little guilty, because they would kill and then dismember the body.
But after doing it more often, the two of them were no longer afraid.
They even prefer to dismember those people while they are still alive, just to see them crying and screaming without any manner of expression.
In order to survive, those people put on many wonderful "performances".
Keeping this pregnant woman is also a waste of time. I want to taste the taste of the baby, it is estimated to be more tender.
If Lin Luo hadn't come, they had planned to perform a caesarean section tonight to take out the baby and enjoy a good meal!
But Lin Luo appeared.
Everything changed when they lay down on the large chopping board that had been used to cut the pork.
I don’t know what kind of devilish power that woman used. They couldn’t use their special abilities, and their entire bodies couldn’t move. They were like... two pigs waiting to be slaughtered!
The pregnant woman struggled to get up, but she stumbled and was about to fall again when an invisible force supported her and a butcher knife automatically flew into her hand.
It wasn't very heavy, just enough for her to bear.
Walking up to the two demons, the pregnant woman chopped the first blow with an expressionless face. She remembered that it was this man who chopped her husband with the first blow.
"ah!!!"
The knife happened to hit the man's most vulnerable part, and because the pregnant woman lacked strength, the knife "just happened" to get stuck there.
That pain...
Look at the man’s twisted appearance and you can tell how much pain he is in!
She pulled out the knife with all her strength and heard the man scream again. The pregnant woman remained expressionless and slashed at the other man fiercely.
This "pig-killing" operation lasted for half an hour. By then, the two big men at the back were completely unable to make a sound and looked like they would die in the next second.
This pregnant woman seems to have a good understanding of the human body structure. The cuts are not fatal but they hurt terribly!
However, she was also tired and out of breath, but a strong breath was supporting her.
"Kill me, please kill me!"
When the hoarse voice sounded, the big men really collapsed completely, and now they only wanted to die, but the pregnant woman sneered, "Dream on!"
She took a deep breath and wanted to raise the knife again, but the knife was extremely heavy this time. The pregnant woman's slender body could not bear it at all, and it fell to the ground with a clang.
The pregnant woman seemed to have lost the breath that had been supporting her because of this sound, and fell straight backwards, but was caught by a force.
Lin Luo strolled up to the three people, ignoring the thick smell of blood and the horrific scene of dismemberment. He tilted his head and looked at the pregnant woman. "If that's not enough, I can keep them alive for a while."
However, the expectant mother did not nod as decisively as before. Her hand unconsciously touched her belly, as if she was feeling the baby's heartbeat.
"Can we throw them out to feed the zombies?"
"sure."
Lin Luo attacked without any mercy. In the blink of an eye, the two men were overwhelmed by the zombie swarm. Their flesh and blood were torn off one by one, and they died in extreme pain.
At the same time, just a few steps after Lin Luo and the pregnant woman walked out of the ice storage, a loud noise suddenly came from behind. The big ice storage was subjected to such a powerful force that it collapsed directly into a mound of earth.
From a distance... it looks like a grave mound. This is the last thing Lin Luo can do for these dead people.
"M-my benefactor, I can... I can..." The pregnant woman stuttered a little. If she didn't have this child, she would definitely choose to follow her husband after taking revenge.
But this child still survived tenaciously after going through so much. He was the only blood of her and her husband. The woman really couldn't bear to kill him.
But she also knew how cruel the end of the world was. Who would be willing to carry two burdens?
I was halfway through saying something and couldn't continue.
"What can you do?" Lin Luo had asked Xiaoyue and the others the same question.
The pregnant woman was stunned. "I, I used to be a surgeon, so I can..."
—Hmm? What a surprise! No wonder you were so skillful in chopping people just now.
Lin Luo opened the passenger door and said, "Get in. I'm in need of a doctor."
Although surgeons cannot cure everything, it is better to have them than not.
Look? After the pregnant woman sat firmly, Lin Luo returned to his driver's seat and took out another luxurious dinner box that Yun Shu had prepared for her, which was still hot.
"Eat, let's go back."
The pregnant woman's hands were shaking as she took it, and her voice was also shaking, "Thank you, thank you... Thank you..."
The heat of the food made her unable to hold back her tears and she suddenly broke down and cried.
Lin Luo didn't say anything to comfort him. He started the car and sped back to Zhoujiawu.
People should always look forward.
