Chapter 99
These clothes were sorted out by Lin's mother at the beginning, and they were neatly stacked one by one. Even after more than ten years, they were still well preserved and even emitted a faint woody fragrance.
Seeing Lin Luo open the box, Xiaobai jumped down from the cabinet, walked in front of Lin Luo and meowed a few times, as if to tell her something. Unfortunately, Lin Luo's ability did not include the ability to understand animal language, so she could only rely on guessing.
"Is there something in this box?"
"Meow~"
“Inside the clothes?”
"Meow~"
Lin Luo scanned carefully with his mental power, but found nothing.
Come to think of it, if there was something that could be discovered by mental power, she would have discovered it long ago.
"Yunshu, wait a moment." Lin Luo decided to do it himself.
She reached out and picked up the top shirt. The fabric had turned slightly white from being washed so many times, but it should be very breathable to wear.
It was such a thin piece of clothing that it was impossible to tell what it was made of even after turning it over and over. Lin Luo folded it and was about to put it aside when Yun Shu suddenly reached out and took it. "Give it to me."
Lin Luo did not refuse and continued to look at the next piece, which was still an ordinary short-sleeved shirt, no problem.
The clothes on the top are for summer and spring, and they have less fabric and are difficult to hide things in.
Until she had taken out about half of the clothes, Lin Luo still didn't find anything. She glanced at Xiaobai, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met for a second, and Lin Luo continued to look through the clothes with her head down.
Finally, it was time for the cotton-padded jacket for autumn and winter. This time, Lin Luo searched more carefully. The cotton-padded jacket was thick and had interlayers, so it should be the easiest to hide some items.
The first one was not found.
The second one, no.
Grandma Luo didn't have many clothes, and the box was soon running out of clothes. There was only one cotton vest left, which was worn under a coat to keep warm. Many old ladies liked to have such a vest.
"Meow!"
Xiaobai suddenly let out a short cry.
Lin Luo picked up the brown-red cotton vest and touched it. He could only feel the soft cotton texture and nothing suspicious. "This one?"
She shook the clothes in her hand, and Xiaobai meowed again.
After a second of silence, a pair of scissors flew over automatically. Lin Luo carefully unsealed the cotton vest along the seams. The first thing that caught her eye was naturally the gray cotton wool, but she soon discovered the "secret" of this garment.
Usually, there will be a piece of extra fabric on each side of the zipper of this kind of clothing. It is normal and there is nothing suspicious about it, but there are words written on these two pieces of fabric.
I don't know what kind of ink is used, but it is still clear and does not fade even when written on clothes. Although the fabric is brown-red and the ink is black and not conspicuous, if you look closely, it does not affect reading.
On the left is written: "The old man is gone, and I will be too soon. I wonder who will see this. I hope it will never be useful to me."
On the right is "When you face death, you will survive. When you strongly want to live, you are the strongest."
That’s all, just one sentence.
"Is this it?" Lin Luo didn't know why Xiaobai knew that there was this thing in this clothes. Logically, when Xiaohei brought it here, Xiaobai should have been born not long ago, and it was impossible for him to have seen Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo.
"Meow." Xiaobai nodded very humanely, then turned around and jumped out of the window nimbly, and soon disappeared from view.
Lin Luo frowned as he took out the vest and put the other clothes away. He then turned to look at Yun Shu, "Yun Shu, what do you think of this?"
The literal meaning is to tell people not to give up, but...is it necessary to use such a mysterious method to keep this sentence?
Yun Shu read it carefully and said, "Lolo, I think this seems to be saying that as long as we have firm faith, we can transcend life and death."
Break through life and death?
Life and death have always been the most mysterious areas. Even if one was as strong as Lin Luo in the previous life, he could still die at any time. However, what Yun Shu said was very similar to a short story Lin Luo had read before.
In that story, there was also a person who died accidentally, but he refused to die because he had something unfinished. Relying on this obsession, he actually lived on in the world for the rest of his life, and only died after completing that thing.
"Lolo?"
Yun Shu's voice brought Lin Luo back to her senses. She glanced at the clothes in her hands and smiled faintly, "Let's go. Aren't we going to eat? I'm hungry too."
Let's put aside the things that we can't figure out for the time being. Lin Luo doesn't think that thinking about it any further will lead to any results. Maybe at some point, he will suddenly understand?
January had just begun when Zhoujiawu was hit by a heavy snowfall.
It was even bigger than the biggest one in previous years. If someone walked out, most of their body might be buried in the snow. Of course, Zhoujiawu had Lin Luo's protective shield and didn't have to worry, but the weather was getting worse year by year, which made Zhou Guangzong worried.
——Zombies and mutant beasts are already enough of a headache, and the weather is so horrible. Isn’t it intentional to kill people?
However, in Lin Luo's memory, starting from next year, which is the fourth year of the apocalypse, the climate will gradually return to normal.
Nature seemed to have finally digested some of the pollution. Even without the interference of the supernatural beings, the pollution in the air, water, and soil was being purified bit by bit. However, the speed was very slow, and it was not completely purified until the end of the world.
But at least this is good news. As long as we live long enough, one day the things brought by the meteor shower will disappear, and humans will have clean water, soil and air again!
"There's nothing outside. Aren't you uncomfortable lying at home?"
Thanks to the help of the South China base, Zhoujiawu does not have to worry too much about electricity consumption at present. As long as it is not wasted, it is still okay to turn on floor heating like now.
Of course, if all three buildings were open at the same time, they would not be able to hold out, so now everyone is in the main building.
Some are reading in the library, some are exercising in the gym, and some are... studying.
For example, Lin Luo moved some of Grandpa Luo's books over and was lying on the lazy sofa enjoying the rare leisure time.
Shen Luoyun's matter did make Lin Luo practice more diligently, but she still understood the principle that too much is as bad as too little.
Lin Luo did not force himself to practice and upgrade as if facing a great enemy. He allocated his time of the day scientifically. When it was time to practice, he practiced efficiently and seriously, and when it was time to relax, he relaxed!
"Thank goodness we finished this place before winter."
Zhou Xiang stretched out his arms and said, "It's spacious and comfortable. It's so cool!"
Indeed, this manor took Zhoujiawu more than a year to build, and once you actually use it, you will find that it is really comfortable, especially when the weather is cold and you don’t want to go out.
Just like now, Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Yaozu are playing chess on the side, and other people also have their own interests and hobbies. Because the place is spacious and has many functions, they will not disturb others at all.
This is basically how the people of Zhoujiawu arrange their day this winter.
We got up at six in the morning. Some people went to the land to tidy up, while others prepared breakfast.
I basically finish eating at 7 o'clock, rest for an hour, and start exercising again at 8 o'clock.
Depending on your own requirements, the exercise time can range from two hours to three hours.
Then I have lunch at 10:30. Because I eat breakfast early and feel hungry after exercising, I eat lunch earlier accordingly.
The afternoon time is more free. Those who have classes can continue with their classes, those who are used to taking a nap can take a nap, and other arrangements are also possible.
Then there will be afternoon tea with dim sum at around three o'clock, and dinner at five o'clock.
After dinner, we take a short break and the cinema starts showing movies at six o'clock. Basically everyone will watch them together. There are so many movies collected that if we show one every day without repeating one, we can watch them for several years.
Those who want to sleep will go to bed around nine o'clock in the evening, and those who don't want to sleep will go back to their rooms and lie on the bed. It can be said that the whole day is fully arranged, regular and healthy.
Nowadays, people in Zhoujiawu rarely even catch a minor cold. Young people like Xiaoyue, who used to have irregular schedules, look younger than before the end of the world after recuperation in the past few years.
Not only does her face look good, but her eyes are also sparkling.
Of course, it could also be the nourishment of love?
Thanks to his excellent hearing and the need to observe the situation in Zhoujiawu in order to prevent Shen Luoyun from doing anything, Lin Luo "accidentally" heard the "proposal plan" of the three Honghu brothers.
Speaking of which, Hong Hu and Xiao Yue have been together for more than a year. Not only did they not break up as Xiao Yue worried because they discovered each other's shortcomings after being close to each other, but they became even sweeter and more clingy.
Hong Hu has a carefree personality and basically goes along with Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue is not the type of person who would make unreasonable demands, although she would be speechless about some of Hong Hu's behaviors sometimes.
——Since both parties are satisfied, why not get married and live together openly?
Now Xiaoyue is living with girls, and Hong Hu is embarrassed to enter their rooms!
So, with the efforts of Hong Hu and others to keep the preparations secret, on January 8th, which was also Xiaoyue’s birthday, this carefully prepared proposal plan finally came into being!
Even Lin Luo was secretly asked by Hong Hu to be the "atmosphere group", the kind of person who helps scatter flower petals.
After all, with Lin Luo's ability, the petals she scatters must be even and beautiful.
——I never thought that one day I would be able to do this job?
But when he saw Hong Hu kneeling on one knee in front of Xiaoyue, holding a silver ring in his hand that was said to be made by himself, Lin Luo suddenly felt that this was not a bad idea.
Wouldn't it be better to use your power here instead of killing zombies?
"Xiao Yue, I, I have no education and no special ability. When I first found out that I liked you, my first reaction was, what the hell is wrong with me? I still want to eat swan meat?!" It can be seen that Hong Hu is very nervous. His hands can't help but tremble slightly, and his words are a little stuttering.
"Puchi." Zhou Xiang, who was listening, couldn't help laughing out loud. He was immediately glared at by Zhou Guangzong and his mouth was covered to prevent him from disturbing this true confession.
Fortunately, Hong Hu was not affected and continued to look up at Xiao Yue seriously. "When you agreed to let me try that day, I didn't dare to sleep the whole night, for fear of waking up and finding out that I was dreaming."
Xiaoyue's eyes were a little red. In fact, she was also very nervous at that time. She even looked for Lin Luo on purpose. If Lin Luo had not given her confidence, she would have most likely rejected Hong Hu, right?
"Xiaoyue, I'm not good at speaking and can't say anything cultured, but, but I swear I will treat you well for the rest of my life!"
The two brothers beside Hong Hu seemed unable to bear it any longer and could not help covering their faces. They were naturally well prepared for this proposal. They even read through various books to prepare the proposal words, and secretly consulted Lin Luo and Sun Yiqing, the two most educated people. They revised and recited them again and again.
As a result, Hong Hu knelt down and forgot everything!
——Brother, the organization is very disappointed in you.
"Xiaoyue, will you marry me?"
"willing."
Xiaoyue did not hesitate, at this moment she was truly willing.
Hong Hu's performance over the past year and his current appearance have made Xiaoyue's original uneasiness disappear without a trace. This time there is no need to seek Lin Luo's opinion.
Her heart had already told her the answer.
Xiaoyue stretched out her left hand and signaled Honghu to put the ring on her finger amid the cheers and congratulations of the crowd.
Hong Hu: “!!!”
A smile of great surprise and happiness bloomed on his face, but his hand holding the ring was not so strong. It took him several tries before he finally managed to put it on Xiaoyue.
The size is just right. I wonder when I secretly measured it.
Beautiful rose petals were flying all over the sky. Zhou Yaozu, who was asked to take pictures, kept clicking with his camera, while Zhou Xiang next to him was recording a video. Of course, such a happy event had to be recorded in full!
"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"
"Brother! Go ahead!"
"Wow~"
…
Lin Luo, who was standing nearby, watched the lively scene with a smile on his face. He believed that Zhoujiawu would soon have its first wedding.
