As everyone was working hard to build the house, the day quickly arrived on July 31st of this year.
In other words, it has really been a year since the end of the world.
I still remember this day last year when I happily took my wife and children to Luo Yatou's house for dinner, but when I woke up, the whole world had changed.
Although Zhou Yaozu was a little dazed at first, he later realized when he occasionally chatted with Lan Yueyin before going to bed that it was Luo Yatou who used her special abilities to save their family.
Otherwise, with two-thirds of the people turning into zombies in the apocalypse, at least half of their family would be wiped out. It would be unlike now where they can still work happily together.
Although it is harder than before, as long as we are human, nothing will be a problem!
After encouraging himself, Zhou Yaozu went downstairs and found that the hall was quieter than usual.
It seems that everyone recalled some bad memories, like Zhao Tao's father turned into a zombie today.
He and his mother didn't have the heart to do it, but Zhao Tao knew his father must have also...
July 31st was originally just an ordinary day, but because of an unknown meteor shower, it is believed that it will be deeply remembered by everyone for decades to come!
It can be seen that everyone is worried today. Zhou Guangzong also directly said that they should take a day off, do what they need to do, and continue to cheer up and live a good life tomorrow.
After all, living people are the most important!
On the other side, the moment Lin Luo opened his eyes, his mind slowly realized what day it was today.
July 31st.
The day when the end of the world begins is also the day when she is reborn.
Thinking about it, it has been two years since her rebirth. Time flies so fast.
Lin Luo's thoughts drifted away for five minutes. She seemed to be thinking about something, but actually she was thinking about nothing, until the sound from downstairs brought her back.
It was Zhou Guangzong who came to tell Yunshu that he could rest today.
——Today will be a gloomy day in Zhoujiawu.
Lin Luode came downstairs after washing up and saw Yun Shu's big smile. "Lolo, breakfast is ready!"
Oh, it’s not a special day for Yun Shu either? He has no relatives? Killing zombies is not difficult either. There is not much difference between before and after the apocalypse.
And Yun Shu could also feel that Lin Luo's mood was not as bad as the other people in Zhoujiawu.
If Lin Luo knew what Yun Shu was thinking, he would definitely confirm his feelings. She really didn't have any major emotional ups and downs.
After all, for others, this day of sudden changes has long since lost its meaning to Lin Luo.
She has been living in the apocalypse for more than ten years. If she felt sad every year, she probably wouldn't have enough time to kill the zombies.
In the following years, Lin Luo even occasionally forgot about this day. Usually, things were as they should be.
Time can sometimes take away many emotions that you thought would hurt when you thought about them, like the story of Lin's father and mother.
In his previous life, Lin Luo would comfort himself at first, thinking that maybe God didn't want his father and mother to suffer in the end times, so he took them away early.
Later, Lin Luo even lost this "naive" idea. People are gone, and no matter how painful it is, they can never come back.
She will miss you, but she will not dwell in pain.
The other people in Zhoujiawu probably feared to bring up Lin Luo's sad memories, so they usually tried to avoid mentioning Lin's father and mother.
No? Let’s not talk about it. This is also a misunderstanding that doesn’t have much impact.
However, for most people in Zhoujiawu, today is indeed an "important" day.
In order not to disturb their sad moment, Lin Luo did not plan to show up in front of those people today.
After eating the breakfast prepared by Yunshu, she invited Yunshu to a PK. If she couldn't go to the Zhou family, she could still go to the mountain.
Yun Shu did not refuse, as he also wanted to test the results of his work during this period.
Two hours later, Yun Shu knelt on one knee in a deep pit, panting, and supported his body with one hand to prevent it from falling.
"How does it feel?"
Lin Luo's voice came from above her head. Compared to Yun Shu's embarrassment, she looked like she was just taking a walk in the mountains.
Yun Shu twitched the corner of his mouth, "I thought I could make some progress, but in the end I got beaten so badly."
He took a deep breath, seemed to have recovered, stood up and jumped out of the pit which was at least four or five meters high.
Lin Luo handed Yun Shu a wet wipe, feeling obligated to protect the child's enthusiasm. "Yun Shu has made great progress compared to last time. Her control is much better!"
At least I won't easily fall into that kind of violent mood, and even if I am about to lose my mind, I can try my best to control myself.
In Lin Luo's opinion, there has indeed been a lot of progress. At this rate, she feels that Yun Shu can fight against some ordinary level six psychics.
"But I'm also making progress, otherwise I'd be overtaken by Yun Shu."
Every day, Lin Luo doesn't seem to be as hardworking as Yun Shu, but she never slacks off when it comes to cultivation, because no one knows better than Lin Luo what strength represents in the apocalypse.
Yun Shu wiped his face and hands clean. "It doesn't matter. As long as I'm better than everyone else, that's all that matters."
This way, Lolo doesn’t have to take action.
After completing the acceptance inspection of their recent training results, Lin Luo and Yun Shu were about to go back down the mountain when she suddenly stopped and looked at the forest behind her with a slightly frown.
"Lolo?"
Then Yun Shu also noticed something was wrong. The ground seemed to be shaking?
"A tidal wave of mutant beasts, approximately eight thousand beasts that failed to mutate and lost their minds are heading this direction."
Since there is a zombie tide, there must be a beast tide as well. They crave flesh and blood just like zombies. Lin Luo's mental deterrence has little effect on these irrational guys.
Why did it happen to be today? What a coincidence.
Lin Luo assessed the strength of this wave of beasts. The strongest among them was comparable to a level 4 zombie. The speed of animal evolution was actually faster than that of zombies.
"Yunshu, you go down the mountain first, I'll be back soon." Lin Luo thought that although the meat of the mutant beasts was not tasty and could not be eaten, their fur was... There was nothing wrong with it.
It just so happened that the new house was short of decorations, and Lin Luo thought he could take advantage of this opportunity to get some in advance.
Otherwise, how could I have the opportunity to collect so many different types of furs at once?
That’s right, in Lin Luo’s eyes, these mutant beasts have become equivalent to carpets, cushions and other things.
If those mutant beasts had the so-called sixth sense, they would definitely feel a chill all over their body right now!
Yun Shu didn't ask any more questions and walked straight down the mountain. Lin Luo's expression and tone were very relaxed. This number was not a big problem for her.
He might as well prepare lunch first so that Lolo can eat it when he comes back next time.
After Yun Shu, the increasingly virtuous husband, left, Lin Luo no longer wasted time and took the initiative to head towards the direction where the beast tide was coming from.
After a while, the two armies met.
If there wasn't only one person on one side, it would have been a spectacular scene.
But precisely because there was only one person, the scene was not only spectacular but also shocking.
A group of failed mutant beasts, as densely packed as a swarm of locusts, with red eyes, bared teeth and heavy breathing, looked like they were ready to tear everything apart. Just look at the razed forest behind them to know how powerful these beasts were.
I don’t know if it’s because Zhoujiawu is the only place with a smell of fresh flesh and blood nearby, which attracted them to swarm over. Anyway, with Lin Luo here, they will only have one fate!
In the blink of an eye!
More than eight thousand mutant beasts seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, maintaining their previous movements without moving.
"Well, it's white, and it's good as a cushion." A mutant beast with a completely snow-white body was picked out and put aside.
"It should be good for laying on the floor this winter, and it won't get dirty." Seeing the fluffy gray and soft short hair, there was another figure in the reserve.
Lin Luo spent more than ten minutes picking and choosing, and picked out about fifty mutant beasts that could only be used.
Choosing fifty out of eight thousand, she is quite picky.
But there is enough supply anyway, so what if I’m a little picky?
Lin Luo turned around and led the fifty or so mutant beasts down the mountain. The "magic" of the mutant beasts that were left behind him was lifted, and they fell down in unison with a loud bang. They no longer had to worry about not having enough food.
After Lin Luo walked away and was sure that he would not come back, some vines and mutant beasts that had run away long ago sneaked over and began to enjoy this extra meal.
Compared to these guys, they are considered to have mutated successfully. At least they are still mentally clear and their IQ is probably equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old human child. They already have a certain level of thinking ability.
Therefore, he understood Lin Luo's terrifying nature even more. Now, seeing this scene, he secretly swore in his heart that he would starve to death or jump off a cliff or something, but he would never offend this female devil!
After Lin Luo came down the mountain, he did not go home immediately, but found Zhou Guangzong who was taking a walk in the village.
He probably didn't know how to deal with this sad atmosphere, so he would rather go out for a walk in the sun.
"Girl Luo, what are you doing?!"
He was stunned by the huge and abundant beast team behind Lin Luo. If it weren't for the wrong timing, he would have wanted to shout: "Get down! Hold your head with your hands!"
Then he took out the handcuffs without hesitation and caught the "poacher"! Don't mention it, Zhou Guangzong had caught quite a few poachers before.
Lin Luo was unaware of Zhou Guangzong's rich inner thoughts. "These are beasts that failed to mutate. I thought their fur looked good, so I brought some back."
This type of beast that has failed to mutate is extremely dangerous, and all major bases have long issued orders to kill them without mercy if possible. Their points are one level higher than zombies of the same level.
Zhou Guangzong certainly knew that it was not difficult to kill these people with Lin Luo's ability, although the reason was very... realistic.
"So?" Zhou Guangzong might have been dazed by the sun and didn't understand Lin Luo's meaning for a moment.
Lin Luo: "Yun Shu and I don't know how to handle these furs. Village chief, you should have experience. We can split it in half afterward."
Zhou Guangzong glared. "Experience? What experience? I'm a law-abiding citizen."
Animal fur is not good enough just by being cut off. It needs to be processed to become a truly good leather, otherwise it will be useless.
Lin Luo: "...So it does? It would be nice to put a few of them in the new house, right?"
Zhou Guangzong glanced at the back of Lin Luo. It was indeed as she said, a rare and good piece of leather. If it were before the end of the world, he would probably be sentenced to several decades.
But now... and it's a failed mutant beast... Then I thought about having a piece of leather like that in my house, and having a coat like this in winter...
"...Yes." Zhou Guangzong squeezed out this word from between his teeth. The moment he said it, he even felt a pang of conscience.
But when his hands touched the smooth and delicate fur, his conscience was immediately thrown aside.
Lin Luo used his mental power to peel off the fur completely under Zhou Guangzong's command. He cleaned the flesh and blood to prevent it from contaminating other animals, and threw the body into the mountains to provide a snack for other animals. "Go ahead, Village Chief! I'm rooting for you."
Leaving behind more than fifty skins, Lin Luo waved his sleeves and left, not worrying at all about what would happen if Zhou Guangzong failed in his operation.
Anyway, there are a lot of "raw materials", so she doesn't feel sorry for them.
Since he wasn't going out that afternoon, Lin Luo remembered the woodworking he hadn't done in a while. He found a small piece of wood from the warehouse, walked over to the specially made table, and began to mark, cut, and polish it with full concentration...
Watching the piece of wood that was originally just a piece of wood gradually taking shape in his hands and its rough surface slowly becoming smooth, Lin Luo's heart became increasingly calm.
The movements of her hands became more and more smooth, and her eyes were extremely focused. At this time, Lin Luo seemed to be more serious than ever, until a cute little rabbit appeared in her hands.
Lin Luo finally came to her senses and looked at the time. She had actually been doing it for four hours?
No wonder my waist feels a little sore.
Lin Luo looked at the rabbit again, found a wooden box and put it in. There were also several previous works in it, some of which were successful and some failed.
They just lay randomly in different corners of the box, and there was no sign that Lin Luo had spent several hours on them.
She enjoys the process of making things and doesn't attach much importance to the work.
Therefore, if one day something he spent time and energy on is wasted, Lin Luo probably won't be too sad.
After July 31st, August officially arrives.
Lin Luo's birthday happened to be August 3rd, a very ordinary day but special to her, but she herself had forgotten it.
In the previous life, a few years before the end of the world, everyone was struggling hard. Who had the heart to celebrate birthdays? Later, he was alone again, and no one would help Lin Luo celebrate his birthday.
As for birthdays, if you're alone, it's better not to celebrate them. Lin Luo naturally forgot about this matter in this life.
At this time in the first year, I was still trying to sort out my mental strength. In the second year... Oh, the end of the world had just begun, and I was experiencing the new world with the Zhou family.
Yun Shu himself didn't have a birthday. He had once asked Lin Luo about his birthday based on some information on the Internet, but Lin Luo had just answered casually.
Seeing that Lin Luo didn't care about his birthday, Yun Shu never mentioned it again.
But she didn't expect that so many people would remember things that she herself didn't care about.
Today is an ordinary day: practicing, eating, reading, practicing calligraphy... It is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.
It was supposed to be dinner time at 6:30 in the evening, but Yun Shu did not come to call anyone as he did before.
Lin Luo went downstairs and casually scanned with her mental power, and found that Yun Shu was not at home. She was about to expand the range of her mental power when Xiao Hei suddenly came over with a sign in his mouth.
There are words on it.
"Lolo, follow Xiao Hei to the Zhou family, you can't use your mental power!"
It was Yun Shu's handwriting, and Lin Luo recognized it at the first glance.
She reacted quickly. When she saw Xiao Hei walking towards the door and followed him, she immediately thought of what day it was today.
Look at Yunshu's mysterious look and the location of Zhou's house. Is there anything else you don't understand?
Sure enough, the Zhou family, which should have been having the most lively dinner, was now dark and silent.
Xiao Hei, who was leading the way, took the initiative to help Lin Luo open the door, but he did not go in. Instead, he sat down by the door and pointed his front paws into the house to signal Lin Luo to go in first.
I don’t know what price Yun Shu paid to make Xiao Hei cooperate so well.
Even without using her mental power, Lin Luo's good eyesight in the dark made her unaffected by the light, so the moment she stepped through the door, she "saw" the people "lying in ambush" on both sides. If it weren't for this scene, Lin Luo's instinctive reaction would probably be to subdue them all first!
But now she was just standing quietly at the door with a slight smile on her lips.
Next second.
"Happy birthday to the fairy Lin Luo!"
A neat and loud blessing suddenly rang out, and at the same time, there was the sound of fireworks "exploding", and the small sequins instantly fell on Lin Luo's hair and clothes.
——I don’t know where they found these little gadgets from, and what are the little fairies called?
Lin Luo, who thought he was thick-skinned and didn't care about other people's opinions, felt a little embarrassed.
But it’s not over yet.
Yun Shu walked out from the side carrying a large two-layer cake with a newly lit candle on top. The faint yellow light just illuminated Yun Shu's face, softening his cold features a lot.
"Make a wish! Make a wish! Blow out the candles!"
Zhou Xiang's voice was the loudest, and those who didn't know would think it was his birthday.
——This is really a very standard birthday process.
Lin Luo, who didn't notice that he was complaining, was very happy and of course would not spoil the fun at this time. He walked to the cake and quickly closed his eyes, but did not make any gestures. Instead, he opened them again quickly and blew out the candles directly, as if he was just pretending.
Everyone wants to give her a birthday song, but they don’t even have time to sing it.
But no one started to accuse Lin Luo of being perfunctory. After all, this was the normal behavior. If Lin Luo really put her hands together in front of her chest like an ordinary girl, made a wish honestly and blew out the candles.
That scene... is a little unimaginable.
The candles went out and the lights came on.
Lin Luo carefully looked at all the decorations in the hall, balloons, ribbons, and the sudden sound of Happy Birthday song.
You can tell at first glance that it took time and effort to arrange.
"Thank you."
Lin Luo's thanks were sincere. She didn't care whether or not to celebrate her birthday, but since someone had taken the trouble to celebrate it for her, she should thank him.
"Hahaha, what's the big deal? We are the ones who should be thankful the most. Thank God for letting our sister Luo be born." Zhou Xiang has always been straightforward, and now he can say such words to prove that he really thinks so.
Not only him, but many others also have the same idea.
If it weren't for Lin Luo, they probably wouldn't even know where their ashes are now?
Xiaoyue, Sun Yiqing, Grandma Zhou... and everyone else's eyes flashed with a hint of hatred and relief.
If there was no Lin Luo... that would be too terrifying!
"Let's cut the cake."
Lin Luo took the initiative to speak, bringing everyone's thoughts back to the beautiful cake.
This double-layer cake is topped with beautiful fresh strawberry slices. Perhaps it was ripened prematurely by a wood-type mutant?
The top is made of Oreo cookies in a circle, with the blown-out candle in the center. Can you guess that this is an idea that the maker came up with because he doesn't know how to decorate decorations?
Simple but good looking.
Lin Luo didn't want to cut the cake into pieces with a knife, so he used his mental power to divide it directly, and in an instant, it was divided into more than 20 pieces cleanly and evenly.
The first one was naturally for Lin Luo.
The cake was filled with jam, which was a little too sweet for Lin Luo, but she still finished it all without leaving any.
While she was eating, others served the dishes.
It’s a birthday, what’s the point of just eating cake? Of course it should be accompanied by delicious food!
As the birthday girl, Lin Luo didn't have to do anything at all. The shrimps were peeled and placed on the plate, her favorite dishes were right in front of her, and even if the juice in her cup was a little less, someone would come and fill it up for her immediately.
Looking at their expressions, they were just about to use chopsticks to feed Lin Luo personally. The life of a queen was no more than this.
Lin Luo: "...Thank you, no need."
After dinner, Lin Luo also received birthday presents from everyone. They were of different sizes but each one was beautifully wrapped. I wonder if they wanted Lin Luo to enjoy the joy of opening the presents.
She?Choose to go home and tear it down!
Lin Luo didn't ask Yun Shu for help. After saying goodbye to everyone, he let a series of gifts follow behind him, just like Santa Claus who was going to distribute gifts.
but……
"Where's Yunshu's gift?"
Lin Luo didn't feel embarrassed at all when she asked this question. She clearly remembered that Yun Shu didn't give her a gift just now. So, she had to say whose gift she was most looking forward to.
Needless to say, it must be Yunshu!
Yun Shu paused and said, "Go back to Luo Luo." He spoke very quickly and his pace quickened after he finished speaking, as if something was chasing him from behind.
Lin Luo: “……?”
It’s just a gift, why are his ears red?
The author has something to say: This article is set in the apocalyptic world, so you should never hunt wild animals.
