Hearing this, Yun Shu glanced at Ling Feng. The question seemed unintentional, but he did not miss the surprise this person showed when he saw him for the first time.
——It’s so annoying, why do you have to look so alike?!
Yun Shu was unhappy, so naturally there was no expression on his face.
The moment their eyes met, Ling Feng even had the illusion that he was facing a ferocious beast, as if it would rush up and tear him to pieces in the next second.
However, in Ling Feng's eyes, this unusual appearance looked more and more like the person in his memory.
The famous but mysterious rich man in Flower Country - Shen Tingyun.
Because of work, Ling Feng had dealt with him several times. This middle-aged man, who was almost fifty years old, was at least 70% similar to Yun Shu.
If he were younger... the similarity would be even stronger.
But as far as Ling Feng knew, Mr. Shen had only one son, who should be around 25 or 26 years old this year. He also hadn't heard that he had a second son who was missing.
But Ling Feng didn't think that the two people were so similar it was just a coincidence. Unfortunately, it was the end of the world now, and Shen Tingyun's family were all in the base in the capital, and they could not be contacted under normal circumstances.
"My relative is Luo Luo, my only relative!" Yun Shu emphasized the word "only". Anyone who is not stupid can understand what he means.
What’s more, it’s Ling Feng.
He would not offend Yun Shu at this time, and quickly changed the subject. In response, Lin Luo just nonchalantly drank a sip of water in the cup.
She had no curiosity about Yunshu's life experience. It all depended on Yunshu's own choice, so she would not interrupt at this time.
Soon, Yao Haichao not only prepared all the supplies, but also found a spacious and fully fueled van for Lin Luo.
"Ms. Lin, do you need anything else?"
Ten kilograms of shrimp, ten kilograms of crabs, as well as the eels and sea bass that Lin Luo wanted, were all put by Yao Haichao into air and water bags specially designed for fresh food, so that they could be kept alive for several hours.
Twenty ducks were also tied up and placed in the trunk, along with saplings, some vegetable and fruit seeds, all placed one by one. Compared to the list Lin Luo mentioned, there was only one more and no less.
Lin Luo nodded. "You have a teammate with me. Find someone to pick him up."
If he relied on one person, he didn't know whether he could return to the base safely. Lin Luo had no interest in leaving behind a fourth-level mutant. He did this at the time just in case, to leave a guarantee for Zhoujiawu.
Yao Haichao nodded and said, "Let Xiaonan and I take you back?"
Although they were very tired and sleepy, Yao Haichao and Cheng Xiaonan had both received professional training. It was common for them to go without sleep for three days and three nights, let alone two days and two nights. But they were still able to hold on.
And their sending someone away is also a signal. After all, Lin Luo once said that there is only one chance, and the base naturally does not want to lose contact with a master who can change the situation.
Even if Ling Feng didn't say it explicitly, Yao Haichao and the others would spontaneously step forward to maintain the relationship.
The most important thing is that Yao Haichao knows that there is a "senior" in Zhoujiawu, who may be able to help if the critical moment comes.
Yao Haichao felt guilty for "scheming" against his savior, but the more than ten years of training he had received had taught him to always put justice before personal emotions.
As long as the base is okay, everything about him doesn't matter!
Can Lin Luo see what Yao Haichao and others are thinking?
Even if she couldn't guess 100% of it, she could at least guess 80% of it. However, Lin Luo still sat in the back seat with Yun Shu with peace of mind, and closed her eyes as soon as she got in the car, looking like she wanted to rest.
Now in the relationship between Lin Luo and the South China Base, she is in the active position. As long as the two sides do not completely tear each other apart and she does not do anything crazy, it is equivalent to having an additional "supply" reserve depot.
Sometimes she wants to change her taste and find something. I believe the base can help her find it, so why not?
As long as she is strong enough, these little calculations don't matter.
In the end times, strength is everything!
However, after just one day's absence, Zhoujiawu had not changed at all. Only when the car approached, a group of people armed with weapons appeared behind the wall at the same time.
It was not until they saw that the people getting off the bus were Lin Luo, Yun Shu, and Yao Haichao, whom they knew, that they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Guangzong stepped forward and saw that both of them were not injured and looked in good spirits, so he knew that the base should be fine.
To be honest, no one in Zhoujiawu got a good rest during the day and night that Lin Luo and Yun Shu were away. They were absent-minded in whatever they did during the day, as if they had lost their backbone.
Lin Luo had gone out before and spent the night outside before, but this time was different!
After Zhou Guangzong came back, he did not choose to conceal the matter. With the addition of the fourth-level psychic next to him, everyone soon realized the seriousness of the matter.
At the moment of life and death of a base, is it helpful to rely on Lin Luo and Yun Shu alone?
What if they got hurt? Or even... what if they were defeated? No matter how strong a person is, there are limits. Lin Luo and Yun Shu are still so young!
It’s a pity that I’m of no use at this time. It’s such a waste of so much food!
These questions also made them realize once again how much they depended on Lin Luo. Even though Zhou Guangzong emphasized many times that Lin Luo had no responsibilities or obligations to them and that they had to rely on themselves for everything, this psychological thing was not so easy to change.
But Zhou Guangzong's teachings were not completely useless. The people of Zhoujiawu at least did not lose their composure. They checked the protective measures again, such as power grids and drones, and the number of people patrolling that day increased from one to three.
They didn't know when Lin Luo and Yun Shu would come back. They couldn't let them see the messy Zhoujiawu when they came back.
So when they saw a strange vehicle approaching, everyone reacted so quickly and surrounded it.
Now they found that it was Yun Shu and Lin Luo who came back, and they all showed sincere expressions on their faces.
"Sister Luo!"
"Sister Luo! Brother Yun!"
"It's good to be back, it's good."
…
Seeing the worry on the faces of the Zhoujiawu villagers fade away and be replaced by relief and joy, Yao Haichao and Cheng Xiaonan looked at each other. It seemed not bad to have such a group of people who always cared about them and thought about them, right?
Lin Luo nodded. "I brought some food back. Let's eat it tonight while it's fresh."
Soon, everyone saw Lin Luo’s so-called “ordered” food.
The trunk was so full that if Zhou Guangzong didn't know that Lin Luo was going to a base, he would definitely think she was going to rob somewhere.
No, even if you rob at this time, you probably won’t be able to get these things.
So Lin Luo and Yun Shu must have helped the base a lot!
Zhou Guangzong keenly noticed that Yao Haichao and the other man had a seemingly ordinary but respectful attitude towards Lin Luo, which further confirmed his guess. However, now was not the time to ask, so he could only put his guess aside for the time being.
Compared to the adults' various ideas, the children were much simpler. Looking at the lively prawns and crabs blowing bubbles in the car, the children, including Zhou Xiang, had stars in their eyes!
Since the people had been sent there, the fourth-level psychic followed Yao Haichao and the others back, still driving this van. Lin Luo did not "pretend to be polite" and ask them to stay for a while, let alone sit down and have a drink of water.
If we go back now, with luck we should be able to reach the base before dark!
After making sure that Yao Haichao and the others had gone far away, everyone spoke at the same time.
"Girl Luo, what happened at the base?"
"Are you not hurt?"
"Are you hungry? Why don't you eat something first?"
…
Lin Luo: "...Zhao Tao, you and Grandma Zhou should plant these fruit trees first, and Zhou Xiang will assist you."
With the presence of the wood-type mutant, the fruit trees cannot die even if they want to, not even in the cold winter. I believe that it won’t be long before there will be a few more highlights on the fruit map of Zhoujiawu.
“Ducks…Who can raise ducks?”
Zhao's mother raised her hand. There was a stream next to her previous home, and she raised several ducks there.
"Okay, Aunt Zhao will leave it to you. Move the other things and put them away first. Cook the shrimp, crabs, and eels tonight. I'll answer your questions later."
Everyone was quiet.
"Any questions?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then Yunshu and I will go take a shower and rest for a while. See you at Zhou's house at 4 pm!"
Everyone nodded.
Then he watched Lin Luo and Yun Shu go straight home, leaving a pile of things on the ground that had not been dealt with.
Zhou Guangzong: "Ahem, what are you standing there for? Move!"
The others seemed to come to their senses at this moment, and hurriedly picked up their things and started to move around, all while chatting.
"Oh my god, Sister Luo's aura was so strong just now that I almost fell to my knees and called her Queen!"
"So handsome! I want to marry Sister Luo!"
"Brother Yun will beat you to death? Yours!"
…
Zhou Guangzong: ...These little bastards! As soon as Lin Luo and Yun Shu came back, their faces were almost covered with anger!
Zhou Guangzong, who was complaining in his heart, didn't realize that he couldn't control the satisfaction on his face.
Four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou's family.
After changing clothes and taking a short nap, Lin Luo and Yun Shu arrived at Zhou's house on time and found that everyone else was either sitting on the carpet or on the stools, leaving the sofa free.
And as soon as he saw the two of them, his eyes were burning, as if saying: Tell me, tell me, what happened?
Lin Luo was speechless. Why did he look like a kindergarten teacher? Was it time to tell a story now?
Sitting on the sofa, she spoke under the expectant gazes of the others, "The base was besieged by many zombies. I went over to kill some and came back when I won."
Everyone: “Huh?” Is it that simple?
Xiao Meng was the first to raise her hand and ask, "Sister Luo, killing zombies is hard, right?"
Lin Luo: "It's okay, I don't feel anything. Yunshu, are you tired?"
Yun Shu shook his head and said, "Not tired." Those zombies were just enough to stretch his muscles.
"Then you killed a lot of people, right?" Zhou Xiang asked again.
Lin Luo: "I don't know, I can't count." Who cares about this? I just need to kill them all.
——It feels like something is wrong?
From what that fourth-level psychic said, isn't the base facing a life-or-death moment? Isn't it very dangerous?
How come Lin Luo seemed to have just gone to the city with Yun Shu? There was nothing dangerous or thrilling as others worried about.
——Is the base too weak or is Lin Luo too strong?
Everyone has an answer in their hearts.
"Alright, alright, as long as everyone is safe, Miss Luo, please sit with Xiaoyun for a while. I'll go cook a few dishes. Those shrimps and crabs need to be fresh."
Lan Yueyin stood up and clapped her hands. Their dinner time was usually at six o'clock, but she thought that Lin Luo and Yun Shu were there and would definitely not have time to eat, so she just moved it up.
"Well, I brought those back for everyone to eat together." There are about thirty crabs in ten kilograms. If she and Yunshu were to eat them alone, it would take who knows how long.
This thing itself is troublesome to eat, but the taste is okay. Lin Luo's interest in it can only be said to be average, but it feels like he hasn't eaten it for a while, so he wants to try something new.
"Auntie Lan, I'm here..."
Yun Shu was about to stand up to help, but Lan Yueyin held him down again. "Just sit there today. What? Don't you trust my cooking?"
Apart from anything else, Lan Yueyin's skills in cooking seafood are indeed good. When they had their first meal at Zhou's house, she aroused Yunshu's fighting spirit.
The others also asked Yunshu to just sit down. They sent a few representatives to help, while the others brought out the fruits and some melon seeds and dried goods that Grandma Zhou had "conjured up" temporarily, and asked the two to eat them first.
It feels like Lin Luo and Yun Shu are treated as national treasures.
At five o'clock, the Zhou family is ready for dinner!
Logically, there should be no crabs in this season, and even if there were, there was a high probability that they would not be full. When Lin Luo proposed this, he thought that if there were no crabs, then forget it. Who would have thought that the base was worthy of being a base.
Ten pounds of crabs were placed on three plates, arranged neatly. The orange-red shells looked very appetizing.
Lan Yueyin used the most original steaming method, and placed her specially prepared sauce next to it. Wait? You can use it to dip it in.
As food providers, Lin Luo and Yun Shu each received two of the largest crabs, one male and one female, and they could taste both the crab paste and crab roe.
However, when Lin Luo looked at the plump crab roe and white meat revealed after the crab shell was opened, he always felt that it was not easy to eat.
"Lolo, you eat the other food first, I'll do it." Yun Shu saw through Lin Luo's thoughts at a glance, and first gave Lin Luo a small bowl of shrimp meat that had been peeled at some unknown time, and then took the crab from Lin Luo's plate to him.
Lin Luo picked up the braised prawns in the bowl without hesitation and said, "Thank you, Yunshu!"
There’s something special about the chewy and tasty fresh shrimps. Lin Luo sighed in his heart while chewing them – it feels so good to have someone feed you without having to do it yourself.
Hong Hu and Xiao Yue, the only couple present, looked at each other and always felt that they were not the ones in love.
The next second, Hong Hu's loud voice rang out: "Yue, whichever one do you want to eat? I'll help you pick it up! Yes, I can also help you peel it!"
Although he has never done this, they are both big guys. He can't be too bad at what Yun Shu can do, right?
Xiaoyue: "...Shut up!"
Not long after, Lin Luo received a bowl of crab meat, a small dish of crab paste and crab roe, and a small dish of sauce that Yun Shu had separately portioned out.
"Lolo, if you want more, I'll give you these two. I don't really like eating this." As Yun Shu said this, he had already picked up the crab and was about to cut it into pieces, but was stopped in time by Lin Luo.
She said seriously: "Enough, really enough!"
Picking up a piece of snow-white crab meat with chopsticks, Lin Luo dipped the end in a little juice and put it directly into his mouth.
Fresh, tender, and fragrant... It's just a simple steaming, but it seems to lock all the essence in the crab meat.
The slight hint of ginger in the sauce just covers up the slight fishy smell of the crab itself. Everything can be said to be just right.
It’s true what they say – high-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods. (Note 1)
But for Lin Luo, the most important thing is that he "doesn't have to peel it himself", which is also an important part of increasing the deliciousness of food!
Lin Luo was very satisfied with both the shrimps and crabs, and the eels he brought back were naturally not inferior either.
Lan Yueyin used two methods. One was stir-fried eel slices, and the other was crispy fried eel slices specially made considering that Lin Luo liked to eat fried food.
Sure enough, Lin Luo's first chopstick reached out for the plate of golden and crispy fried eel slices coated with cornstarch, and put them into his mouth.
Snap, snap—it could fall off at any time.
Lan Yueyin must have marinated the eel slices before frying them, so they were already well-seasoned and even the bones were fried through, so she could just eat the whole piece.
"Auntie Lan!" Lin Luo gave Lan Yueyin a thumbs up and received a loving look from Lan Yueyin. "What's the big deal? If you like it, eat more." As she spoke, she moved a few more dishes a little towards Lin Luo.
It looked like there was no space at all in front of her, which was in stark contrast to the pitiful Zhou Xiang who had only a plate of vegetables in front of him.
Zhou Xiang: ...I often doubt that I am not my biological child!
Zhoujiawu returned to a peaceful life again, while the South China base was recovering rapidly and also welcomed the condolence delegations sent by the North China base and the Capital base.
At the moment the base won, Ling Feng had already passed the news, so not many people came this time, only a dozen people on each side, but they were all masters of the base, otherwise it would be difficult to pass through the layers of obstacles on the road.
However, when Ling Feng saw one of the people in the capital, he couldn't help but blink his eyes quickly. This was too much of a coincidence!
