It was already dark when Lin Luo arrived at Zhoujiawu, but he could see a faint light coming from the Zhou family's small villa. In contrast, Lin Luo's own home was completely dark.
——Yun Shu went to bed so early?
With a sweep of his mental power, he found only the auras of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.
Lin Luo was thinking in her heart, but before she had time to explore, Zhou Guangzong and others appeared together. They did see on the surveillance that the car belonged to Lin Luo, but didn’t she say before that she would be gone for two days?
To be on the safe side, several men came out to check. When they saw that it was indeed Lin Luo who got out of the car, they breathed a sigh of relief.
But when a pregnant woman who was obviously seven or eight months pregnant got out of the passenger seat, the tone was raised again.
It’s not that they discriminate against pregnant women, but in the current situation, there is no midwife in the village. If this woman wants to give birth, who can she turn to? Huh?
Giving birth is a matter of life and death for a pregnant woman. If one is not careful, it can easily result in two deaths.
But Lin Luo had brought the person back, so they couldn't drive her away. Looking at the pale and thin appearance of this pregnant woman, she must have had a hard life in the past.
Alas, at least they are two lives.
After thinking about it, Zhou Guangzong decided to arrange her to live in the house where Grandma Yao lived. Both Grandma Zhou and Grandma Yao had experience in childbirth, and they also had experience in taking care of newborn daughters-in-law. They must know more about this than Lin Luo, a little girl.
"Well, she's a surgeon, so she should know something." Lin Luo and Zhou Guangzong didn't avoid the pregnant woman during the discussion. When she heard this, she nodded quickly, "I, I can do it!"
——She will give birth to this child at all costs!
"Oh, right." Lin Luo just remembered at this moment, "What's your name?"
Zhou Guangzong and others: "..." You brought the person back but you don't even know his name?
"Sun Yiqing, my name is Sun Yiqing."
Lin Luo nodded. "I understand. We don't keep idle people here. I can lend you food and drink temporarily, but you have to return it when you recover."
Sun Yiqing didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She nodded repeatedly, looking very grateful.
What happened next surprised her even more.
Originally, she thought that it would be good enough to have something to eat, but when she moved into the four-story villa and received soft and clean clothes, Sun Yiqing still felt like she was dreaming.
The kind mother-in-law who looked like her own mother handed Sun Yiqing some clean clothes and said, "These are my clothes. They are clean, so please don't be disgusted."
I can’t find maternity clothes right now, but luckily Grandma Yao’s clothes are very loose and can be used as maternity clothes.
"No, no, thank you! Thank you!"
How could Sun Yiqing dare to despise it? She said she didn't need help and carried the clothes herself to the bathroom. There was clean hot water and a bright mirror. Everything seemed to have returned to the days before the end of the world.
She suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her chest. She gently touched her belly with her right hand and whispered to herself, "Baby, Mommy will definitely be strong and live on. You must be fine, fine..."
Meanwhile, Lin Luo was certain Yun Shu wasn't home. She walked over to Xiao Hei, who was playing with a ball in the living room, and asked, "Where's Yun Shu?"
Xiao Hei skillfully raised his right front paw and pointed in the direction of Xiaowu Mountain.
——Why aren’t you back so late?
Lin Luo frowned slightly and decided to wait until nine o'clock. If Yun Shu didn't come back, she would go find him.
At half past eight, Yun Shu showed no sign of returning.
Lin Luo's mental detection range can now easily cover two hills, so where did Yun Shu go?
Worried, Lin Luo walked up the mountain in the night.
It was not until he crossed four mountains that Lin Luo's spiritual power sensed Yun Shu's breath, but at the same time, there were many other miscellaneous auras around him.
Lin Luo usually wouldn't go to that place. It was a deep forest within a deep mountain forest, with a lot of wild animals, ancient trees, insects and all sorts of other things.
Now that it is the end of the world, those things must have evolved into "monsters"!
So, Yun Shu ran up the mountain in the middle of the night instead of staying at home...to self-abuse?
Of course, Lin Luo didn't think Yun Shu would do this. With a quick thought, he could guess Yun Shu's thoughts.
He is tempering himself.
Yunshu, want to become stronger?
Lin Luo did not disturb Yun Shu, but just stood there until the first ray of sunlight leaked through the gaps between the leaves and shone on her face.
The aura around Yun Shu has become very clean, which means that he has eliminated all those things.
Lin Luo exhaled lightly and turned to go down the mountain.
Yun Shu arrived home around three in the afternoon. Seeing Lin Luo already at home, he was not particularly panicked. He used to go up the mountain often, so it was not a big deal.
“Lolo!”
Yun Shu was holding a bighead carp, and it seemed that he wanted to cook it for dinner.
"I brought some books back from the city. Take a look and see if there are any that might interest you."
Lin Luo didn't ask Yun Shu what happened to the healed scratch on his face. He just frowned slightly and handed Yun Shu a clean wet tissue. "Wipe it off. Be careful next time you go up the mountain."
Yun Shu nodded seriously, and then quickly turned the topic to the fish in his hands. "I think this one is almost ready to be slaughtered. Luoluo, how about we make the head into chopped pepper fish head and the body into pickled fish tonight?"
The head of the bighead carp is its essence. It is delicious when made into chopped pepper fish head, but the body cannot be thrown away.
Although the pickled fish is definitely not as good as the black carp and grass carp, Yunshu’s pickled fish will definitely not be bad.
Lin Luo smiled and expressed his anticipation, "Why not make the fish head into soup? It's cold and I want something hot to drink."
Of course Yun Shu wouldn't disagree, and he immediately went into the kitchen. After all, it would take a longer time to stew the soup.
In fact, Lin Luo was afraid that Yun Shu would eat spicy food while injured, which would make the wound heal more slowly. She knew that Yun Shu had a good physique, but she didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Even though Yun Shu only has a scratch on his face now, there must be countless wounds hidden under his clothes. The mutated animals and plants in the forest last night were probably transformed by Yun Shu.
But since he didn't want him to know, Lin Luo wouldn't bring it up on his own initiative.
It was still early in the evening, and while Yun Shu was getting ready, Lin Luo casually told him about the situation in the city, and naturally mentioned Sun Yiqing.
"Pregnant woman?"
Yun Shu thought of the wild animals giving birth in the forest in the past. He had seen it a few times occasionally. To be honest, the scene was a bit scary. After understanding modern civilization, Yun Shu knew even more how dangerous pregnancy and childbirth were.
"Does Luo Luo like children?" seems to be the question that comes with the word pregnant woman.
Lin Luo didn't think much about it and directly expressed his thoughts, "I don't like it. It's very troublesome."
No matter whether they are obedient or well-behaved, children are always troublesome. What Lin Luo hates most is trouble.
"What a coincidence! I don't like it either."
Yun Shu's joyful tone made Lin Luo doubt for a moment what he had just said to make people happy?
After thinking about it to no avail, she quickly put it out of her mind and continued to talk about some things in the city.
When talking about the home appliance city, Yun Shu paused. He turned around, carefully considered his words, and asked under Lin Luo's puzzled gaze, "Lolo, what do you say about us building a wind power station?"
Lin Luo: “……???”
When it comes to wind power stations, the image that Lin Luo can think of is huge white "blades" turning on the open plains. Can this... be built by oneself?
Seeing Lin Luo's expression was not right, Yun Shu quickly explained, "It's not that big one. There are small wind power generation equipment now, which is more effective than solar energy."
Electricity has always been a very tricky issue in Zhoujiawu. Freezers, lights, air conditioners, etc., which one of modern civilization does not require electricity?
Lin Luo and Yun Shu were fine, as the electricity was enough for the two of them, but the other people in Zhoujiawu were really "thrifty" and wanted to spend it on the most important things.
Otherwise, Lin Luo would not have gone to the city specifically to look for usable power generation equipment. Unfortunately, the diesel-burning type consumes too much fuel, and the diesel in the entire Zhoujiawu village cannot last long.
"This, Yunshu, do you know how to do it?"
Of course it would be good to have wind power generation equipment. Zhoujiawu is next to the mountain, and the mountain wind is particularly strong at night, so there is plenty of "fuel". At worst, doesn't there still have a wind-type mutant?
It’s time to do something!
Yun Shu nodded. "We can give it a try. Luoluo, take me with you next time you go downtown. I'll see if there's anything I can use."
Lin Luo said on the spot, let’s go, let’s go tomorrow!
She was extremely grateful that she had allowed Yunshu to study the electronics class that he was interested in, instead of giving up just because she thought it would be useless because the end of the world was approaching.
Yun Shu’s current knowledge may not be acquired in class, but it is also Lin Luo’s support that has allowed him to spend more time and energy on this aspect.
——So the great man is right, curbing children’s interests is murder!
Lin Luoyin was impressed by this wise decision and thought he could reward himself with an extra bowl of fish soup in the evening.
Because of Lin Luo's massacre the day before yesterday, the road to the city center is much smoother this time, and the zombies have not had time to replenish their supplies.
Lin Luo first brought Yun Shu to the home appliance store. Yun Shu picked and chose, and even dismantled some things on the spot. For example, he took an air conditioner apart for two small parts.
Then we went to...Wenjiang City Government Building.
"Usually, places like this must have backup generators."
Yun Shu's judgment was very accurate. Because the machine was too large, others could not move it. In addition, due to the dense zombies around and the lack of fuel, the machine was no longer useful, which gave the two of them a good opportunity to take advantage of it.
Yun Shu continued to dismantle the building, and Lin Luo began his exploration again.
——There is an air-raid shelter under this building, which should be built just in case. There are more than a hundred survivors in it. It seems that they can still survive.
Lin Luo didn't just go to Zhoujiawu to pick up survivors when she saw them. She was not a saint and could not decline such a great spirit.
But we can give these people a "little help", just to pay tribute to the tenacious vitality of human beings!
The government building has a total of sixteen floors, with 4,775 zombies inside. Together with the zombies within a one-kilometer circle outside the building, there are about seven thousand zombies in total.
In an instant, all died.
Not a single one left!
Seeing that the surroundings had become much "cleaner", Lin Luo began to stroll around with brisk steps. When he found something useful, he would use his mental power to drag it along.
When I saw Yun Shu again, she was already dragging a long chain of items behind her. Her hoarding habit was indeed amazing.
"Next time? Where?"
Yun Shu quickly mentioned another place and the two drove away immediately.
Not long after they left, the special ability team in the air-raid shelter came out to collect supplies. The group was carefully moving quietly for fear of attracting the attention of zombies, but they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Are those lying on the ground zombies?
Which boss came here?
However, when they discovered that all the zombies in the entire building were dead, and even the area surrounding the building was filled with zombie corpses, they immediately exclaimed that it was a miracle!
This is definitely not something a human can do!
No matter how confidently these people faced the future life, Lin Luo and Yun Shu could be said to have returned with a full load.
When they returned to Zhoujiawu and told Zhou Guangzong the news and planned to plan out a piece of land, the old man who had always been calm almost dropped the cup in his hand, but fortunately it was caught by Lin Luo's mental power.
But he quickly recovered, laughed a few times, clapped his hands, and then looked at Yun Shu. "Do you need any help? We can all help, as long as this thing can be done."
Faced with the free labor, Yun Shu nodded.
Finally, the location of the wind power generation equipment was chosen at the entrance of a valley in Xiaowu Mountain, where the wind is strong.
However, the ground was a bit bumpy, so in order not to affect the machine, several young people worked hard and flattened it that day.
Next, it was Yun Shu's turn to perform. This thing couldn't be done in a day or two, and Lin Luo couldn't help much either. After all, the attentive Zhou Xiang was always there, ready to serve tea and other things.
——He had been coveting Lin Luo’s game console for a long time, but because it needed electricity, Zhou Xiang had never had the intention to ask for it.
If Zhoujiawu no longer has electricity shortages in the future, then it should be okay to borrow it occasionally for fun, right?
Time flies. By December, the daily temperature in Zhoujiawu was hovering around minus five degrees Celsius, and at the coldest time it had reached minus ten degrees Celsius.
Lin Luo is too lazy to do this at this time. He goes out and officially enters hibernation mode in his own nest.
However, Zhou Guangzong still requires everyone to take two hours every day to exercise on such days.
This kind of thing means either advancing or retreating. Even if there is no threat of zombies for the time being, they cannot just relax like this.
So every morning at seven o'clock, Lin Luo could hear the slogans of people running and other sounds of sparring.
She didn't think it was noisy. After all, Lin Luo was usually awake at this time. Instead, she felt... energetic?
It was another energetic morning. Lin Luo put on a big coat, opened the door, stood on the terrace on the second floor, looked into the distance, and breathed in the fresh air.
"Girl Luo! Come over for lunch with Xiaoyun! We're making dumplings for the Winter Solstice today!"
Seeing Lin Luo standing on the terrace, Zhou Guangzong's loud voice instantly came over, echoing throughout the entire Zhoujiawu.
Others were also doing morning exercises, a group of people were running circles around Zhoujiawu.
"Sister Luo! You must come! I can make Yuanbao dumplings~"
The next voice was Zhou Mengjie.
Lin Luo smiled and waved at them, "Okay!"
Being reminded of this, she remembered that today was the Winter Solstice. The year was about to pass so quickly.
This year's Spring Festival is earlier, on January 18th, less than a month from today.
After breakfast, Lin Luo and Yun Shu came to Zhou's house with a few pieces of frozen mutton. Wouldn't it be wonderful to drink a bowl of warm mutton soup in winter?
The Zhou family was busy making dumplings, some were kneading the dough, but the technical work like rolling the dumpling wrappers had to be left to Grandma Yao and Grandma Zhou.
In this kind of weather, the dumplings will automatically be frozen as long as they are placed outdoors.
"Oh, mutton!"
Zhou Guangzong stepped forward with a smile, "You've come just in time. Let's make dumplings together. Making them yourself is more interesting."
Lin Luo and Yun Shu did not refuse. They put down their things, washed their hands, and sat down in the dumpling-making group.
Yunshu is very experienced in this field. He is quick and makes beautiful dumplings, each one neatly arranged. It is a pleasure to look at.
"Xiao Yun's work is quite good." Grandma Zhou was also making dumplings. Seeing this, she immediately praised Yun Shu, "Much better than those two brats."
Brat - Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Yaozu looked at each other with understanding. At this age, the only person who could call them like that was their own mother.
"By the way, I did hide a coin in the dumpling. Let's see who has the best luck when the time comes."
Zhou Guangzong proudly raised the fat dumpling in his hand, but Zhou Xiang muttered to him, "I definitely won't pick up one shaped like this."
Zhou Guangzong: “…”
Just give Zhou Xiang a slap in the face without mercy!
"Village Chief, what should I do if I put a coin there too?"
"I also!"
"Me...same."
As a result, four or five hands were raised at the same time. Zhao's mother, Lan Yueyin and others also wanted to be auspicious, but they didn't expect that everyone had the same idea!
The others: “…”
Laughter immediately filled the Zhou family's living room. It seemed that they had to be careful when eating dumplings later, otherwise it would be bad if they broke their teeth.
On the other side, Wu Yan looked at Sun Yiqing seriously: "Auntie Sun, did the baby kick you today?"
After a period of rest, Sun Yiqing's face finally had some flesh on it, but the incident still had some impact on her.
Sun Yiqing could no longer touch meat. She would vomit if she smelled it. For example, some of the dumplings today were specially made with vegetarian fillings.
Originally, Grandma Yao and the others were worried about whether the child would be malnourished, after all, he was a twin.
But there was nothing Sun Yiqing could do if she really couldn't accept it. At least everything looked fine now, and her due date was in the next few days.
"Fortunately, the baby is very well behaved."
Sun Yiqing looked at her belly tenderly, but she didn't stop working. She couldn't just sit there doing nothing because she was pregnant. Besides, it was just making dumplings, which didn't take much effort.
There were so many people and the process went quickly. In a short while, nearly a thousand dumplings were ready. There were eight kinds of fillings in total. In addition to the vegetarian Chinese cabbage vermicelli, there were also traditional sauerkraut pork, leek and egg, shepherd's purse pork, three-fresh shrimp, etc.
Basically, whatever you want to eat, we have it all.
But when the pot is cooked, what you can eat depends on luck. Only Sun Yiqing's bowl is cooked in a separate small pot, while everyone else uses the big iron pot of the Lin family.
In order to speed things up, Yun Shu went back and brought it directly with him. He burned firewood and boiled water in the yard. This pot could cook hundreds of them.
The boiling hot steam rose in the Zhou family yard. The twenty or so people were not afraid of the cold at this time. They gathered around the iron pot, each holding a bowl in their hands. When the batch was cooked, they would go forward and scoop it out.
Take out as much as you want to eat, and cook the next batch when you are done.
Soon, a lucky person got the coin.
"Wow, I hope everyone will be safe and sound from now on!" Zhou Xiang, the lucky guy, used the coin as a wishing prop and made a sincere wish.
Fortunately, no one came to correct him at this time. Instead, Zhao Tao smiled and said that Zhou Xiang should make a wish to grow taller next year.
Zhou Xiang, who is “just” 1.7 meters tall, showed an “angry” expression, “I’m still young, I can still grow taller!”
"Who are you, my father?!" Zhou Yaozu glared at him, causing Zhou Xiang to immediately look aggrieved.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Amidst such cheerful laughter, a suppressed groan suddenly appeared.
Sun Yiqing frowned and covered her belly, "I, I think I'm about to give birth!"
