In mid-July, the afternoon temperature in Zhoujiawu was approaching 40 degrees Celsius, so the construction time was adjusted to 6:00 to 8:00 in the morning and 5:00 to 8:00 in the evening.
Fortunately, there is no need to worry about disturbing others or staying in bed too long. Everyone usually gets up quite early. Even some people at the South China base used to get up early to work.
After all, there are not many entertainment activities at night, and electricity is limited. The older generation in Zhoujiawu usually go to bed at around 8 or 9 o'clock. Even young people like Zhou Xiang who like to stay up late, after two years of adjustment, now basically go to bed around 10 o'clock.
Go to bed early and don’t have to worry about messy things like making money, studying, and marriage. Your sleep quality will naturally be good, and it’s normal to wake up early.
Today happened to be one of the two days off every month. Lin Luo had no intention of going out in such a cold weather. He was holding a popsicle made of bayberry juice in his mouth and reading a philosophy book while enjoying the cool air conditioning.
——It’s quite interesting.
Lin Luo made an evaluation in his mind and was just about to turn to the next page when Yun Shu came back from exercise.
Regardless of whether it was cold or hot, he would go to the mountains to train himself for at least two hours. With this kind of training combined with cultivation methods, Lin Luo discovered during their daily fight with Yun Shu a few days ago that his bottleneck period had passed.
Strength, speed, vision, sense of smell and other aspects have been improved to varying degrees. Now Yun Shu is not in a hurry to upgrade again, and he mainly focuses on training his control first.
There is no need to talk about his strength, otherwise, if he just pinched it, the house might be missing a corner, and a handprint would appear if he touched it "gently".
Yun Shu's hearing also had problems. If he was willing to concentrate, he could hear everything the Zhou family said clearly even in the room.
But Yun Shu had no interest in these things at all. He worked hard to train himself to filter out some useless noise, otherwise it would drive him crazy.
But, Yunshu seemed to have come back a little early today, only an hour? A little more?
The next second, Lin Luo knew the reason.
"Lolo, the big wolf is dying."
Yun Shu frowned as he entered the room. He was talking to Lin Luo, but in reality...
Lin Luo put down the book in his hand and looked at Xiao Hei who was also enjoying the air conditioning.
It was not asleep. Yunshu noticed it when he came in, but he just didn't pay attention.
When Yunshu said that, Xiao Hei's ears twitched suddenly, and his body, which was originally lying lazily, stood up instantly and let out a low "woof" towards Yunshu.
It seems to be saying: What does it mean to be unable to do it? What does it mean to be unable to do it?
Yun Shu was very straightforward, "Are you going to see Big Wolf?"
Originally it looked like the big wolf was going to die quietly in the cave alone, and then be eaten by mutant beasts or mutant plants, and no one would know about it.
Unexpectedly, Yun Shu happened to choose this hilltop, and was training his sense of smell and hearing. It didn't take long for him to discover the familiar panting sound of the big wolf.
To Yun Shu, even though it was just a gasp, there was still a difference.
After thinking about it, Yun Shu quickly found the cave where the big wolf was waiting to die.
The big wolf was already very weak. The look in his eyes when he looked at Yun Shu was obviously cloudy. It was very difficult for him to grit his teeth and stand up.
It was Yun Shu who stepped forward and helped it up, "You're almost dead."
No sadness could be heard in his calm voice. Yunshu and Dalang could barely be considered old friends, but in the face of life and death, everyone was equally powerless.
"Woo."
The big wolf whimpered softly, as if confirming Yun Shu's words.
It has lived for more than 20 years, which is an absolutely long life for a wild wolf. If it had not been mutated due to close contact with that power that year, the big wolf would probably have died long ago.
However, no matter how powerful the force is, it has its limit and cannot escape the fate of death.
"Do you want to see Xiao Hei?"
The big wolf was silent. As a father, he was actually very conflicted.
Xiao Hei is one of the cubs born to the big wolf and an ordinary female wolf, but when it was very young, it showed some differences from other wolf cubs.
Specifically... exceptionally smart.
As a big wolf with an IQ equivalent to that of an adult human, he understands very well what this kind of intelligence represents.
Does intelligence give rise to emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness? But the big wolf won't live for many years, but its children can still live for at least a few decades.
Do you also want it to be like you, trying to be an ordinary wolf in the forest, but being out of tune with its tribe?
When it didn't know what to do, the big wolf discovered Yunshu, the human with whom it had lived for a period of time, and the child who appeared with the mysterious power.
——If we didn’t grow up together, it wouldn’t be too sad, right?
——If you change your lifestyle, will you be happier?
That was what the big wolf was thinking at the time, and he also thought that he would never see Xiao Hei again.
It was just a coincidence that I didn't expect that the then tiny Xiao Hei would still have such a deep impression of it, and I didn't expect it to be seriously injured...
Seeing that the big wolf didn't say anything, Yun Shu wanted to pick it up, but a paw rested on his arm to stop him.
Big Wolf was still unsure whether he should let Little Black come to see him for the last time.
Yun Shu seemed to understand Dalang's dilemma, but also seemed not to understand what there was to be confused about. The only death he had witnessed that left a deep impression on him was that of Grandpa Luo.
But Grandpa Luo didn't die in front of Yunshu. It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, this person would never appear again.
"I'll let Xiao Hei come to see you."
Yun Shu stood up and turned around.
The big wolf whimpered softly, as if to stop him, or as if just responding to Yun Shu out of habit.
So now, Yun Shu looked at Xiao Hei and asked, "Do you want to go see it?"
Xiao Hei's reaction was almost exactly the same as that of the big wolf at that time. He was hesitant and wanted to go but didn't dare to go.
The big wolf wanted to see it but didn't dare to.
"Go ahead, I think it still wants to see you."
At this time, Lin Luo squatted down and touched Xiao Hei's head, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his tone.
——Death is the most irreversible thing in the world, so don’t leave any regrets.
“Ouch!”
Xiao Hei seemed to be encouraged. He picked up Yun Shu's shoelaces and signaled him to lead the way. Yun Shu didn't say much nonsense. He grabbed Xiao Hei and rushed out.
Now? His fastest speed has surpassed Xiao Hei.
"Lolo, wait for me to come back!"
As the last syllable fell, a lightning-fast figure disappeared from Lin Luo's sight.
"Meow." Suddenly, Xiaobai walked in front of Lin Luo, raised his right front paw and pointed outside, as if to say that he wanted to go too.
Lin Luo: "Xiaobai, your ability can't bring the dead back to life, right?"
Lin Luo was answered by Xiaobai's look of "contempt", but it continued to point outside, refusing to give up.
In order to make Lazy Xiaobai want to go out on his own initiative, Lin Luo bent down and picked it up, looking at the Xiaowu Mountain outside the house.
The next second, his mental strength was fully activated! He located Yun Shu's position!
Lin Luo and Xiaobai also disappeared from the spot.
In the cave, the big wolf was almost out of breath, his eyes half-closed, as if they would close completely in the blink of an eye.
However, it suddenly seemed to sense something, and its eyes suddenly opened wide, and sure enough, Yun Shu, carrying Xiao Hei, appeared in front of the big wolf.
“Ouch…”
"Woo."
Xiao Hei lowered his head and rubbed the big wolf with the tip of his nose. The big wolf tried hard to raise his head to respond to Xiao Hei, but unfortunately he was unable to do so.
It is really old, too old. If converted into a human, the big wolf is almost an old man over a hundred years old.
In such a scene, if there was a soft-hearted person present, tears would have welled up in his eyes. However, it was impossible for Yun Shu. He just looked at her quietly, without saying a word and without moving.
After a few seconds, Lin Luo with Xiaobai also appeared in the cave. Before Yun Shu could call for help, Xiaobai jumped out of her arms and walked to the side of the big wolf.
The right paw gently pressed on the big wolf's abdomen.
This action looked very familiar. Xiaobai had done the same thing before when the big wolf was seriously injured, but at that time it only accelerated the healing of the wound. Lin Luo only thought it was a special healing ability.
However, now, seeing the big wolf that seemed to have recovered some energy, Lin Luo suddenly had an incredible guess.
Xiaobai's ability...
It's not about healing, it's about controlling the flow of time!
Yes? Speed up? Also? Reverse! If Xiaobai had a stronger ability, could he really be brought back to life?
The big wolf, having recovered some energy, was finally able to raise his head and rub against Xiao Hei, but Lin Luo and Yun Shu both knew that this was only temporary, and could even be called a "last gasp of life."
Picking up the exhausted Xiaobai again, the two of them walked out of the cave tacitly so as not to disturb the last time the father and son spent together.
"Xiaobai..." Lin Luo stroked Xiaobai's soft fur with his right hand. "Will this ability have any effect on you?"
Time? Ah, this is the taboo among taboos.
Even though Xiaobai doesn't look very capable, the existence of this power cannot be denied.
"Meow." Xiaobai responded softly, and at the same time, its tail swept across Lin Luo's arm, as if to say that it was fine.
Lin Luo continued to stroke its fur, "From now on, don't use this ability unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Meow." Xiaobai's voice was so soft that it was barely audible. When I looked at it again, I found that it had fallen asleep.
Lin Luo and Yun Shu looked at each other and remained silent.
“Ouch—”
A moment later, Xiao Hei's long howl was heard from the cave.
This mournful cry echoed for a long time in this forest.
Xiao Hei dug a very deep hole for the big wolf to ensure that no animal could dig it out, then signaled Yun Shu to make a pendant from one of the big wolf's fangs and hang it around his neck.
Such behavior does indeed have some humanity.
The hot summer finally passed with time, and Lin Luo celebrated his birthday again. Everyone admired the moon, ate moon cakes, and had a night barbecue party.
On the last day of October, Zhou Guangzong ceremoniously pulled down the red cloth hanging on the gate in the middle, indicating that Zhoujiawu’s exclusive “sanatorium” was finally completed.
It took a year and a half and the efforts of more than 30 people to complete the project, which covers an area of over 2,000 square meters and integrates various functions such as dining, entertainment, leisure and elderly care. Even Jiang Jiatao, who has been in the industry for many years and has seen many architectural designs, couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment at this moment.
Look at the layout, the color combination, and the environment...
Two words: perfect!
Originally, some lawns and green plants did not grow so quickly, but for the sake of "face", or in other words, to get it done in one go, Zhou Guangzong indirectly asked the wood-type mutant to ripen them all.
So, now, this big manor is really full of green trees, red flowers, small bridges and flowing water, everything is complete!
Just waiting for a good day for everyone to move in together!
Unfortunately, Jiang Jiatao and others could not wait until this time. The base sent people to pick them up the next day after the house was completely completed and there were no problems. They also brought a housewarming gift in advance to congratulate Zhou Jiawu on his new home.
"Xiao Yao, how's things going at the base?"
Zhou Guangzong, in a good mood, patted Yao Haichao on the shoulder and asked, "Didn't they say the base was going to move too? It's been several months now, I wonder what the progress is."
Yao Haichao smiled. "It's going very smoothly. Once it's completed, everyone is welcome to come to the base and spend a few days. I'll take care of all the supplies!"
"Hahaha, Xiao Yao, you've made a fortune."
"Brother Yao 666!"
…
Lin Luo stood aside and watched the people fighting, then looked at the exquisite and luxurious manor, which was actually built by them.
Although external forces were used in the middle, it only took more than a year for the people of Zhoujiawu to build such a place, which was very difficult to build before the end of the world.
"Lolo, this is our new home." Yun Shu used her body to shield Lin Luo from the still-hot sun. "We can stock up on more things now!"
Lin Luo nodded, with a hint of emotion, "Well, it will get better and better, both for us and everyone else..."
Man can conquer nature, even nature can be conquered!
A white light flashed quickly between Lin Luo's eyebrows, but no one else noticed it except Yun Shu.
——Level 8! She touched the barrier of level 8!
