The others went to rest first, while the leaders of the three bases started meeting directly.
Ling Feng was the main narrator, with the others asking questions occasionally. The most important person in this conversation was naturally Lin Luo, and Yun Shu's words were just incidental.
"Lin Luo... do you think she might be related to the person who warned us in advance?"
Such strength does not seem to be a level that can be achieved in just over a year in the apocalypse, so is there really such a mysterious organization?
Ling Feng: "I'm not sure, but based on my observations, half of the people in that village are ordinary people, and the other half are just ordinary third-level psychics, young and old."
It seems that only Lin Luo and Yun Shu are special, but it is not ruled out that they have not observed the core. If there really is such an organization, it must be hidden very well.
"Lao Ling, do you think it's possible for us to see her if we want to?" So many people came here this time, of course, because of the matter of the South China base. This sudden wave of zombies that came for no reason was really too scary.
This time the South China base was lucky as there happened to be a master nearby, but what if other bases encountered the same expert?
Who can guarantee that it will happen again? Will there be a second "Lin Luo"?
Ling Feng was silent for a second. "She once said she would only save us once, and that we shouldn't cross the border. The boundary is Wenjiang City."
The others frowned at the same time.
According to Ling Feng, Lin Luo looked a bit cold but was not a wicked person. However, in this situation, none of them knew what the consequences would be if they touched that line.
This is not something that can be attempted lightly. If it is not handled properly, it would be equivalent to pushing away a person who can save the entire base.
"You said she asked you for some supplies? What?"
Ling Feng took out the list. After several people looked through it, one of them, a middle-aged man wearing thick glasses, remained silent for a minute, as if he was organizing his words.
"From these few things, I'm more inclined to believe that she has no organization, but simply got an opportunity through some unknown means."
"She's a bit of a solitary person, meaning she doesn't like being disturbed. But she's also very clear about what's good for her and what's bad for her. While I don't know why she's willing to help the base, I can tell she's not completely indifferent to external affairs."
"From her actions after killing the zombies and afterwards, we can tell that she doesn't like beating around the bush and prefers to resolve everything with force."
"Since she allowed our people to be sent back, it also means that she doesn't want to have anything to do with the base completely after resolving the issue once and for all."
"I think we can just make the request directly and openly. She'll naturally tell us whether she agrees or not, or what conditions we want."
The middle-aged man's speech was recognized by others. After that, they discussed for a while. Suddenly, Ling Feng seemed to remember something and turned to look at the person in charge of the capital base.
"Mr. Su, that boy in your team is Shen Tingyun's son, right?"
I don't know why Ling Feng suddenly brought this up, but the man known as Old Su must be familiar with the people in his team. He nodded and said, "Yes, father and son do look alike. He is now ranked in the top five masters in the base and a fourth-level mutant lightning ability user. What's wrong?"
Ling Feng did not hide it, "Yun Shu next to Lin Luo is at least 80% similar to him. I suspect there is a relationship between them."
Because there is too little information about Lin Luo, and it is not the end of the world now, most of a person's information can be found out by comparing fingerprints and DNA, so any clue must be seized.
Ling Feng and the others didn't mean that they didn't trust Lin Luo and Yun Shu, or that people at their level no longer simply considered trust when dealing with others.
There are so many things involved behind them that a slight misjudgment can affect tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of lives.
Such a heavy burden made Ling Feng want to have a rough idea in his mind even though he knew Yun Shu didn't like to explore his life experience.
Soon, Shen Jiaan was brought to this room.
After observing closely, Ling Feng felt that the two looked even more alike, except that Yun Shu's skin was a little darker and she was probably a few centimeters taller than Shen Jiaan. Their facial features were so good that people would even believe they were twins.
"Brother? Or elder brother?"
As soon as Shen Jiaan opened his mouth, Ling Feng instantly discovered the differences between the two.
How can I describe Shen Jiaan? He seems to be more nonchalant. When he is not talking, he seems to have quite an aura, but when he speaks, his unstable nature is exposed.
"No, the old man in my family loves my mother so much that he can't cheat." Seeing that Shen Jiaan seemed to have misunderstood what they meant, Ling Feng added, "What about the biological one? Has Mr. Shen ever lost a child?"
Shen Jiaan's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me?! If my family lost a child, they would dig deep to find him! And after I was born, the old man got sterilized. How could he have a younger brother?"
"At this time, there are still people who are interested in my family's wealth? I am the most valuable person in my family now, right?"
——So you didn't consider what if it was your brother? And does Mr. Shen know that you said that about him behind his back?
Ling Feng was speechless for a moment. He even had the illusion that he was too old and had difficulty communicating with young people.
"Then? Other relatives, does your father have brothers and sisters?"
Shen Tingyun is actually quite legendary and a bit mysterious.
It is said that he is a country boy who came out of the mountains. He relied on his own opportunities to start from scratch and made his way to his current fortune. He is considered a formidable figure.
But there are not many people like this in the Flower Country in the past hundred years, but not few either. The only difference between Shen Tingyun and others is that he has no parents or relatives, and he seems to have no relatives at all. Moreover, he is very low-key and rarely appears in public.
Logically speaking, considering he'd built his current position on his own, he wouldn't be a "social phobic" person, right? For someone who doesn't like to show up, yet is incredibly passionate about charity, donating enough money every year to earn Flower Country several awards for his contributions.
"My dad? My dad popped out from a crack in the rock!"
Several people who are considered to be highly respected in the Flower Kingdom: "..."
Should we say this kid is clueless or brave? Most people would be terrified by the sight of them, and wouldn't even be able to finish their sentences, but he can still make a few jokes.
I wonder how Shen Tingyun raised such a son?
Perhaps because the atmosphere was a bit too solemn, Shen Jiaan finally became serious and began to recall, "My dad seems to have a brother, but I'm not sure."
Those were all things that happened when Shen Jiaan was in elementary school or junior high school. He didn't know what he did to anger the old man again. When he was chased by the old man with a feather duster, the following conversation took place!
"I must have picked up the wrong one!"
"We look exactly like each other, right? Just accept your fate, old man. This little guy is definitely your biological son!"
"What's so good about this look?! How could I give birth to a son who looks like this? That bastard also looks like this?"
"Who is it?"
“My brother…”
The furious Shen Tingyun seemed to realize what he had said at this time. Afterwards, no matter how Shen Jiaan asked, he refused to reveal a word. It was not until he was repeatedly questioned today that he remembered what happened that year.
"Shen Tingyun's brother..." Ling Feng and the others looked at each other. From what Shen Jiaan said, the two brothers should look very similar.
Judging from Yunshu’s age, he is very likely the son of that brother?
As for the Shen family, whether the two brothers had a conflict, and how Yun Shu was with Lin Luo, it seemed that Shen Jiaan had no way of knowing anything. Ling Feng was just about to ask him to leave first.
Shen Jiaan suddenly spoke up, "No way, I really have an uncle? No, from what you just said, I also have a cousin!"
"Where? Where? Our Shen family? Our genes are so strong, two generations share the same face?"
"It's a pity the old man didn't come, otherwise I really want to see what his expression would be when he knew about this..."
Shen Jiaan was still a chatterbox. Ling Feng took a deep breath and finally sent someone to "politely" ask him to leave while they continued to talk about business.
Shen Jiaan came out and rolled his eyes. He did not let the matter go so easily. Instead, he noticed Yao Haichao who seemed to have something to report.
It seems that this person is Ling Feng's confidant and should know a lot of things. It must be said that Shen Jiaan is lucky to have chosen one of the insiders at the first try.
He straightened his face and walked straight towards Yao Haichao, "Hello, Mr. Ling just told me the general situation. That person should be my relative."
As expected of Shen Tingyun's son, he looked frivolous, but when he really used his brain, he managed to "scare" Yao Haichao away. After all, he saw Shen Jiaan coming out with his own eyes.
Moreover, as someone who had met Yun Shu several times, Yao Haichao was even more certain after seeing Shen Jiaan that the two were definitely related by blood.
I was caught off guard for a moment and Shen Jiaan actually got some information out of me.
——Her name is Yunshu.
——Lives in Zhoujiawu, Changqing Town, Wenjiang City.
Shen Jiaan specially looked for a map of Wenjiang City. Zhoujiawu didn't even have a name on the map. It seemed that it was really a remote and poor place.
So, how can I take advantage of this time to "see" this brother? Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with him once I return to the capital.
As a fourth-level mutant with lightning abilities, Shen Jiaan's mind began to race, wondering if the people at the capital's base would regret bringing such a troublemaker out.
Yun Shu, who was peeling sugar-roasted chestnuts for Lin Luo, suddenly sneezed.
"Have a cold?"
Lin Luo shifted his gaze from the novel in front of him, his tone was concerned with a hint of surprise. After all, Yun Shu's physical fitness could stand the test.
Yun Shu shook his head, "No, my nose just itched a little."
"Really? If you feel unwell, please tell me. I have some cold medicine."
Yun Shu nodded seriously, then continued peeling the hot, sticky chestnuts in her hands. "Lolo, what are your thoughts on what to do with the village chief tomorrow?"
In the morning, Zhou Guangzong braved the severe cold and came to tell Lin Luo and Yun Shu that there would be a year-end summary meeting at Zhou's house at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The main purpose is to take stock of what they have done this year, the material consumption and growth, so that everyone can have an idea.
Then let's talk about the plans for next year. I'm also worried that everyone will just muddle through the year, which is irresponsible to life.
Lin Luo didn't move his gaze this time, and continued to read the novel in his hand. "The village chief is quite suitable to be a primary school principal."
She remembered that she often had to write this kind of things when she was in elementary school. But when she entered junior high school, even the teachers stopped arranging plans for her, probably because they felt it was pointless to do so.
But she's fine anyway, so it doesn't matter if she goes and listens.
The next afternoon, when the two arrived at Zhou's living room, they found that more than 20 chairs had been placed in the center of the house at some point, with their names on them.
Lin Luo and Yun Shu were both in the first row.
When they arrived, everyone else had already arrived early. Zhou Guangzong stood at the front and looked at his watch. It was exactly one o'clock.
"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Let's take a look at the results of our labor this year."
Everyone had a printed sheet in their hands, which listed the surplus of materials in Zhoujiawu for the year. It was so crowded that people felt dizzy.
Lin Luo took a casual look and saw how many kilograms of rice, frozen chicken, and frozen beef were left. Every item, from big ones like these to small ones like how much salt and soy sauce were left, was listed one by one, so that everyone could clearly understand the current situation of Zhoujiawu and also have the motivation to work hard.
Don’t you feel a sense of satisfaction when you see the supplies increasing little by little?
In addition, through the efforts of Lin Luo and several water, soil and wood ability users this year, Zhoujiawu has gained about five acres of land that can be used to grow new things.
However, just in case, the things grown on this land are only for people with special abilities to eat. After all, this land was once polluted, and even after being "purified", it is still not safe.
In general, Zhoujiawu has achieved a balance between income and expenditure this year, and is even slightly wealthy. Judging from this trend, it will surely have a bumper harvest next year.
Speaking of next year, Zhoujiawu’s top priority is naturally to build houses!
And it has to be finished! Built! The kind you can move into and live in!
But the house is one thing, Zhou Guangzong also asked everyone to think about themselves and what changes and goals they can achieve next year. They can't just grow older without gaining skills.
"Then let's go according to the seating order. Zhou Yaozu is the first one." Zhou Guangzong unceremoniously took out his younger brother as a demonstration.
Zhou Yaozu: "...just, get four-pack abs?"
After more than a year of hard work, his beer belly has completely disappeared. Lan Yueyin even joked that he looked a few years younger. If there were only a few people in Zhoujiawu, he would definitely attract a lot of young girls.
Zhou Yaozu naturally swore again and again that there was only one person in his heart, but he did feel different after losing weight, and he looked more energetic!
So when asked about his plans for next year, Zhou Yaozu's first response was to build muscle! It seems like men, no matter how old they are, have a mysterious love for this.
Zhou Guangzong had no objection and wrote down the goal seriously. "If you don't accomplish it, there will be a small punishment!"
"Brother, you didn't say that just now!"
"Really? Well, I forgot, so I'm adding it now."
Zhou Yaozu: “…” He is indeed my brother.
Next to Zhou Yaozu was Yun Shu. Seeing everyone's gazes on him, he followed suit. After a second of thought, he slowly spoke, "Become stronger. The stronger the better!"
No one knew Yun Shu's current strength, but he was undoubtedly the strongest in Zhoujiawu besides Lin Luo. He hadn't expected him to be so "motivated"! His words had Zhou Xiang quickly restructured his own plan of "writing a 500,000-word novel" and directly copied Yun Shu's "become stronger" idea.
——The key is this? There's no way to punish them. Isn't it enough to just be better than your current self? Brother Yun is really smart!
Zhou Xiang thought happily, not feeling at all that he had misinterpreted Yun Shu's meaning.
Next to Yun Shu is Lin Luo. Everyone is even more curious about Lin Luo's plans for next year. Is she also going to become stronger? But she is already so strong!
