"This breeze feels so comfortable."
The ones who finally managed to grab the spot to go out for a walk were Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Xiang. One of them was standing closest to the other, and the other relied on his reaction speed developed through years of training.
The others were a beat slower and could only watch the old man and the young man leaving with envy and jealousy.
Now, the two of them were sitting in the back seat, and they even pretended to open a small gap in the window, saying that they wanted to feel the air outside.
Lin Luo: “…”
As long as you are happy, anyway? If she opens the mental barrier, all she can smell is the stench of zombies.
I haven't been to the city for more than a month, and many zombies have gathered on the road again. The dense crowd is scary to look at.
Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Xiang subconsciously tightened their weapons. None of them knew how Lin Luo had gone to the city before. She had only taken Yun Shu out with her. Now, seeing these zombies blocking the road, their first reaction was to fight them.
Zhou Guangzong's gold-type ability has reached level two, but he has never tried it out, and he is suddenly eager to try it out.
However, before they could take any action, the zombies fell down one after another as if they had agreed to do so.
This was Lin Luo's ability, both knew it, but Zhou Guangzong was still a little worried. "Miss Luo, the road is so long. If you can save some energy, we can help you."
Lin Luo: "No need, just sit still. If you want to kill me after we get off, you can do it."
The two of them arrived in Wenjiang City as smoothly as if they were on a sightseeing tour.
Seeing that Lin Luo did not seem to be tired and had a strange look on her face, they had a new understanding of her strength. Along the way, there must have been thousands of zombies, if not ten thousand.
Just like this... just like this... killing cockroaches? It’s not that easy.
However, before the two of them could express their thoughts, their eyes had already involuntarily fallen on the ruined city.
Prosperity and depression, bustle and silence, the extreme contrast made them silent.
It feels different from the town. The changes in big cities make people understand what the end of the world has brought.
Zombies, blood, garbage...
Zhou Guangzong was fine and quickly came to his senses, but Zhou Xiang, as a child who grew up in a big city, felt a mixture of all five senses when he saw such a scene.
For the first time, he realized so clearly how lucky they were to have Lin Luo's protection.
"Are there no other living people?"
Listening to the young boy's question, Lin Luo shook his head: "Yes, there are probably about a hundred people."
The heavy snow that had occurred previously had caused such great damage to these scattered survivors that it was unknown how many people had frozen to death.
About a hundred people... In such a big city, there are only about a hundred people left. Even Zhoujiawu has only more than twenty people left.
Zhou Guangzong sighed, "At a time like this, the power of an individual is really too small."
Not everyone has the power like Lin Luo. Not to mention ordinary people, even people with special abilities are helpless in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Seeing the zombies wandering around casually as if they didn't see them, Zhou Guangzong knew that it was Lin Luo's ability again.
——Lin Luo, what kind of existence is he?
"Let's go to the library first. I want to bring some books for Xiaoyue and the others."
Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Xiang had no specific tasks or goals, so naturally they followed Lin Luo.
But when he thought about bringing something for Xiaoyue, Zhou Xiang thought of Hong Hu's constipated face. He observed a moment of silence for him with a bit of "schadenfreude" in his heart, but he didn't feel as uncomfortable as before.
There were fewer books in the library than the last time Lin Luo came. Of course, it was not because the survivors suddenly fell in love with books, but because it was so cold and there was no electricity, so they could only rely on burning some things to keep warm.
Books are one of the fuels.
Before entering the library, Lin Luo first killed the hundreds of zombies inside, and then closed the door to prevent any zombies from suddenly jumping out and scaring people while he was flipping through the books.
This person, of course, refers to Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Xiang.
"You can go around by yourselves and meet here in half an hour." It's boring to follow her. The library is huge with several floors. It's better to split up.
Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Xiang looked at each other and decided to take a look at the surrounding situation together first. In case something really happened, neither of them would be unable to resist.
Lin Luo, standing in the hall, watched them walk upstairs. His eyes suddenly swept across a certain direction on the third floor, but he did not make any unnecessary movements. He walked in another direction like an ordinary supply team.
Half an hour later, feeling that he had gained enough, Lin Luo "dragged" the books behind him back to the hall.
Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Xiang were already waiting there, but there was another person next to them, a shivering girl wearing Zhou Xiang's coat.
Her face is small and delicate. Although a little dirty, it does not look ugly. The tears hanging in the corners of her eyes reveal her pitifulness, and there seems to be an urge to wipe away her tears.
Seeing Lin Luo appear, Zhou Xiang stepped forward and explained, "Sister Luo, we found Ruolan in a crack on the third floor. She said she and her teammates came to look for supplies, but unexpectedly encountered a level three zombie. Ruolan was lucky enough to hide in the library, but her teammates might..."
Yes, the zombies have evolved again. After a winter, there are now level three zombies, and their intelligence and lethality have been further enhanced.
However, after level three, the evolution of zombies slowed down. Lin Luo remembered that level four zombies appeared about a year later. But now, level three zombies are also a huge threat to the psychics who are generally only at level two.
This young woman named Ruolan is a second-level water-based mutant, which is naturally very precious in the end times. If she can be brought back to Zhoujiawu, it will be a guarantee.
——You know the name so quickly.
Thinking back to his previous behavior of asking Sun Yiqing's name after bringing her back to Zhoujiawu, Lin Luo couldn't help but be distracted.
Then she glanced at Zhou Guangzong who was standing aside without saying a word. Lin Luo didn't believe that this experienced old man couldn't see the problem. Did he want to teach Zhou Xiang a lesson?
After all, not everyone is like her, who has the golden finger to identify people. But there is a price to pay for picking someone up.
His gaze returned to the still childish Zhou Xiang, and then he casually glanced at the girl. Lin Luo asked, "Do you want to take her back?"
Zhou Xiang scratched his head. "She has water-related abilities. They should be quite useful, right?"
After he finished speaking, he immediately added, "Sister Luo, if you don't agree, forget it. Don't worry about me!"
——Consider you?
Zhou Xiang was quite good at flattering himself. Lin Luo was about to speak when the girl named Ruolan spoke first, "Please, I will fight tooth and nail for just a bite of food! Just to stay alive! Please!"
After saying that, she knelt down and started to kowtow, and her voice sounded quite sincere.
Lin Luo's expression remained unchanged, his voice calm as he looked down at the scene from a high position, a hint of superiority in his voice inexplicably revealed. "Come on."
Upon hearing this, Ruolan lowered her head and a trace of resentment and jealousy flashed in her eyes, but when she looked up, her expression was filled with gratitude.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Next, Lin Luo and his group went to the street where he had bought the DVD player before. Sure enough, most of the discs were still there, and the excited Zhou Xiang packed up a lot of them in one go.
Ruolan, who was curled up on the side and seemed a little scared, saw that none of the zombies around her came forward to attack, and the fingers hidden under her clothes moved slightly.
Zhou Guangzong's eyes flashed, as if he didn't notice anything.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to Zhoujiawu. Perhaps they wanted to hear Zhou Xiang and the others' thoughts on going out as soon as possible. As soon as they saw Lin Luo's car on the surveillance camera, they all went out and came to Lin Luo's door, and happened to meet her.
“How’s downtown?”
"Are there many zombies? Are there many? Ah? I..."
Hong Hu was forced to pause as Ruolan had already gotten out of the car. Meeting Hong Hu's gaze, she lowered her head sheepishly. "Hello, hello. My name is Ruolan, and I'm a Level 2 Water Psychic."
The voice was soft and gentle, which was completely different from Hong Hu's rough and loud voice just now.
"Wow, welcome, welcome!"
Xiaoyue was the first to step forward and took Ruolan's hand, not feeling dirty. "Our place is very good, just stay here and relax."
Seeing Ruolan wearing Zhou Xiang's big cotton-padded jacket, Xiaoyue thought that Ruolan had also encountered some terrible things. She immediately felt sympathy and her tone softened a little.
Hong Hu: ...How come this little girl has never been so gentle when talking to him? And she even favors girls over boys!
Lin Luo saw it all, but still said nothing. He chatted with the others for a few words, handed the things to them, and then went back to the house.
Yun Shu followed behind her, showing no intention of getting to know the new person.
"Isn't Miss Lin coming with us?" Ruolan asked curiously after following Xiaoyue into a clean room.
Xiaoyue smiled, thinking that she, too, had developed a sense of dependence on Lin Luo. "No, she lives with Yunshu."
"Yun Shu? Is that the tall man?"
Hearing a hint of fear in Ruolan's tone and expression, Xiaoyue quickly comforted her, "Yunshu is fine. Don't look at him? He looks cold, but he's actually very gentle."
Ruolan bit her lip and touched the soft, fluffy quilt nervously. "It's so nice here. Can I really sleep here?"
Xiaoyue handed clean clothes to Ruolan, "Of course, you can stay here without worry!"
On the other side, Lin Luo returned to the house and drank a sip of the hot milk handed to him by Yun Shu, "Huh——"
She stretched her body and stretched, "Yun Shu, what do you want to say?"
Look at the look on his face that seems to want to say something but hesitates. If I don’t ask him, he’ll probably get suffocated.
As expected, Yun Shu spoke up immediately, "Lolo, I felt something was wrong with that woman just now."
Lin Luo held the milk cup in both hands, sat down, and looked up at Yun Shu, "Aren't you worried about what I brought back?"
Yun Shu was stunned. "But if he's a bad guy, Luo Luo won't become a good person if he's brought back."
——This answer...
Lin Luo almost laughed out loud, "Well said! Don't worry, I know my limits."
Seeing Lin Luo like this, Yun Shu knew that there was indeed something wrong with that person, and his feeling was not wrong.
Actually, it wasn't exactly a feeling. It was just that when the woman saw him for the first time, a hint of desire flashed in her eyes, as if she had seen some delicious food.
This was a look that neither Sun Yiqing nor Xiaoyue had ever had before, and it made Yunshu very disgusted.
If Lin Luo hadn't been there, he might have gouged out those eyes! But maybe it wouldn't be long before this person would suffer the consequences of his actions?
Ruolan settled down in Zhoujiawu, and in just three days, she won the favor of many people.
Especially Xiaoyue and the others, they were really happy that they had a new sister.
Lin Luo had been watching coldly from the sidelines until...
Twelve o'clock at midnight on the fourth day!
This was a time when everyone should have been sleeping, but Zhou Xiang, who was on night shift, was the only one concentrating on watching the surveillance. Even though the chance of an enemy attack was very small, he couldn't relax.
But gradually, his eyelids began to twitch.
——Strange, why am I so sleepy?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhou Xiang tilted his head and fell to the side. Naturally, he could not see the dozen or so black shadows that suddenly appeared on the surveillance camera a while later!
On the other hand, Lin Luo had already dressed early and walked to the terrace, watching those people cautiously rush into the Zhou family and the other two buildings. No one came to his place for the time being.
Is it because he didn't find the opportunity to do it? After all, Lin Luo eats alone with Yun Shu most of the time, and he doesn't like to go out unless he has something to do.
"Hurry up and kill those with superpowers first!"
When Ruolan opened the door from the inside, her face was no longer shy and timid as before. Her expression was cold and when she said the word "kill", it was as if she was stepping on a small ant on the roadside.
"Hehe, it's you, Ruolan. Don't worry, we'll be there soon."
A low, slightly frivolous voice sounded, "This place is really nice. Look, you've only been here for a few days, and you look different."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Ruolan gave him a sharp look. She didn't know why, but there was always a slight sense of unease lingering in her heart.
"I know--" The man would not easily turn against Ruolan. This woman was very smart. She had made an indispensable contribution to the survival of their team until now.
But at the same time, the man was also afraid of Ruolan. If she didn't have water-based abilities and little attack power, given how ruthless this woman was, he would have been replaced by someone else as the boss long ago.
Maybe even not being the boss? This woman had planned this long ago.
But for the time being, they will not turn against each other. More than a dozen teammates dispersed and wanted to kill the psychics that Ruolan mentioned first. In this way, ordinary people will not be a threat at all, and they may even be of other use.
The entire Zhoujiawu is now eerily quiet except for a little movement here. Even the usual snoring is gone.
The biggest "contributor" to this situation is of course Ruolan!
She went to the kitchen to help tonight. In fact, this was not her first time in the kitchen. Lan Yueyin and others praised Ruolan for her good cooking skills, but who knew that her purpose was to take their lives?
If it wasn't that she couldn't defeat Lin Luo and Yun Shu alone, then Ruolan hadn't given them a small amount of sleeping pills that had been ground into powder. She had already planned to quietly kill these people tonight, then set up an ambush tomorrow, and then rush to find Lin Luo in a panic, lure her here alone, and then...
The first person to be brought into the room was Zhao Tao. He had already fallen completely asleep and didn't seem to have any ability to resist.
The people who came to kill him showed a sinister smile. Once these people died, these warm beds and abundant supplies would all belong to them!
This place is truly a paradise in the end times!
——Right away, right away... he will be able to...
Before his sweet dream was over, the man discovered with horror that the knife in his hand seemed to be caught by something and he couldn't cut any further!
"ah……"
He opened his mouth as wide as possible, wanting to call out to his friends, but no sound came out.
The man couldn't help but think of something supernatural, and even thought of an analysis of Taoyuan that he had read on the Internet before, which said that the people in the real Taoyuan had actually died a long time ago!
No way!
His eyes suddenly widened, and he felt like crying but had no tears when he found that his body was walking out uncontrollably.
——It’s over, it’s over, it must be a ghost!
In the bright and spacious Zhou family hall.
Zhao Tao covered his head and groaned. He felt that the bed under him was extremely hard. Did he roll off while sleeping?
But what is this dazzling light? What's going on?
Zhao Tao knocked his head and forced himself to wake up. When he saw the situation in front of him clearly, he was suddenly shocked!
What's going on? Who are those strangers in front of me? Where did they come from?!
He turned his head and looked around again, and found that Hong Hu, Zhou Xiang and others had slowly sat up, looking confused, just like he was just now.
"What the hell!" Zhou Xiang was the first to shout. With this shout, it was like a switch was turned on, and everyone woke up one after another.
"My head hurts..."
"I, what's wrong with me?"
"Who are these people?"
…
Except for a few elderly people who enjoyed the treatment of waking up on the sofa, everyone else, including a few children, woke up on the floor. Fortunately, there was enough heating in the living room, so it was not cold, but it was uncomfortable.
When everyone woke up, they saw that in addition to those strangers who appeared out of nowhere, there were also Lin Luo and Zhou Guangzong standing by, looking at them coldly.
"woke up?"
Zhou Guangzong's voice was as stiff as his expression at the moment.
In such a scene, even the most calm person would know that something must have happened.
“How does it feel to be alive?”
Zhou Guangzong is good at playing the bad guy. Lin Luo's role now is to hold the fort on the side. Of course, there will definitely be a time when she will be needed to appear later.
Being questioned with such sharp words, everyone lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look directly into Zhou Guangzong's sharp eyes, "Answer me!"
The volume is three times louder!
Zhou Guangzong would not let them off so easily. This lesson must be deeply remembered by everyone and etched in their hearts!
“I, I…”
Muttering to themselves, the dozen or so people still sitting on the ground gritted their teeth and stood up, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start. Then, seeing the group of strangers and Ruolan standing next to them, anyone with a little bit of common sense would know what had happened.
Even three children can turn around.
"Yuanyuan! Where's my Yuanyuan?!" Sun Yiqing was the second one to shout. She woke up slowly, but as soon as she came to her senses, she found that Yuanyuan, who had been lying next to her, was gone! She immediately became panicked.
Zhou Guangzong wasn't the type to make a fuss about the child. "Yun Shu is here, watching."
Yes, the reason why Yun Shuzhi didn’t follow Lin Luo was that he was sent to take care of a baby.
Sun Yiqing calmed down a little, and with her clear mind she quickly understood what mistakes she and the other people in Zhoujiawu had made.
"Zhoujiawu is pretty good, right? Do you know what life is like for the survivors outside?"
"To put it bluntly, the reason you can live such a stable life now is because you are lucky!"
Zhou Guangzong sneered, "With your limited abilities, you won't survive even a minute if you leave here!"
"I'm sorry!" Zhou Xiang suddenly yelled.
Ruolan was brought back by him, so he was the culprit. If it weren't for his uncle and Sister Luo's vigilance, if they had succeeded, Zhou Xiang would never forgive himself for the rest of his life!
"It's all my fault! I'm such an idiot! I have no brains! I shouldn't have just brought people to Zhoujiawu so casually! I shouldn't have forgotten that this is the end of the world!"
He has clearly read so many apocalyptic novels, aren't the descriptions of darkness in them enough?
How could he trust someone so easily and bring her back to Zhoujiawu?
After Zhou Xiang's words, Xiaoyue also stood up and said, "I'm also wrong. I shouldn't have let my guard down so quickly!" Xiaoyue had observed Hong Hu and the others for a long time when they came. Why did she accept someone else so quickly?
Even now, when Xiaoyue thinks about how much information she has revealed about Zhou Jiawu, she wants to slap herself on the spot!
"I'm also wrong..."
"sorry……"
Everyone came out to reflect on their mistakes, and no one said a word or secretly blamed Zhou Guangzong and Lin Luo for not speaking up in advance.
That's why Lin Luo was willing to take care of them more before. She is not a saint, and there is no benefit for Lin Luo to protect these people. It's just... because they are more "cute".
Zhou Guangzong's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Lin Luo and said, "Miss Luo, thank you for your help."
Lin Luo could not deny it, but did not make any move. Ruolan suddenly stepped out of the line and was more obedient than the soldiers Zhou Guangzong had trained before.
"You guys, ask her what she wants to do?"
The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: Qi Erjun 10 bottles; Lunatic. 4 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
