Chapter 52



The mountain was in a mess.

It was like a force 10 typhoon, even worse than when Lin Luo fought with Yun Shu before.

Several trees were cut in half, not to mention the uneven mountain terrain, which was full of potholes as if a giant was pacing back and forth.

Lin Luo climbed over another mountain before he saw Yun Shu lying at the bottom of a pit with his eyes closed.

"Yun Shu?"

Yun Shu opened her eyes quickly, her pupils returning to normal. "Lolo."

He lay lazily in the pit, seemingly unwilling to move. "I don't know what's going on, but I just feel so uncomfortable all over, and I need to let it out."

Before Lin Luo could ask anything, Yun Shu immediately told him all his thoughts.

"Now, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Lin Luo knew that Yun Shu might know even less than he did.

In his eyes, he was probably just a wild child who grew up in the mountains.

Yun Shu's expression still held a hint of bewilderment. "It's not uncomfortable. I feel much better after letting it out."

Lin Luo jumped into the pit, bent down and extended his hand to Yun Shu, "Can you get up?"

Yun Shu's hands were a little dirty, so he quickly wiped them on his chest, the only clean part of his body. Then he held Lin Luo's hand, exerted a little force, and stood up.

"It's okay, Luoluo, don't worry."

Although he said that, it was obvious that Yun Shu was still a little dazed. Perhaps it was because he was too excited just now and couldn't recover for a while.

Lin Luo didn't ask any more questions. The two of them walked slowly down the mountain. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Xiao Hei rushing towards Yun Shu excitedly, his tail wagging rapidly, as if asking, "Are you okay?"

Even though he and Yunshu always had some small disagreements before, Xiao Hei was definitely worried about Yunshu at this time.

"It's okay." Yun Shu lowered his eyes. The smell that made him sick was no longer in the yard, but that didn't mean the matter was over.

Yun Shu was not as "bold-minded" as Lin Luo thought. In fact, from the last time he threatened Xiao Hei to take him to that cave, it could be seen that Yun Shu was not unaware of his abnormality.

It's just that he and Lin Luo are miraculously in sync in some aspects. They both feel that they should solve the problem themselves first and don't want to make the other worry too much.

However, the appearance of this little black bead this time made Yun Shu feel a lingering gloom in his heart.

Because Yun Shu was in a bad mood, even though he repeatedly said it was okay, Lin Luo still insisted on cooking dumplings for dinner tonight and had a quick meal.

"good evening."

Saying goodbye to Yunshu at the door, Lin Luo did not mention anything about cultivation, obviously wanting Yunshu to have a good night's rest.

However, Yunshu couldn't sleep.

I tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.

He hasn't experienced insomnia for a long time.

If Yun Shu wasn't afraid of Lin Luo worrying, he would definitely rush to the mountain and run dozens of laps. Isn't it said that you can fall asleep when you are tired?

It was not until dawn when the chickens raised by Grandma Yao crowed for the first time that Yunshu fell into an endless nightmare as if he had dreamed of something.

In the dream... there seemed to be a lot of white coats, and some people were shouting... what were they shouting?

He doesn't remember.

Grandma Yao came over the next afternoon. Yunshu happened to be going up the mountain and no one knew what she was doing.

Lin Luo received Grandma Yao, and the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room, listening to Grandma Yao reminisce about the past of Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo.

According to Grandma Yao's recollection, Grandpa Luo himself said that he was just a child from a poor family and could read and write a few words, but because of those bad times, he was the only one left in the family.

Grandma Luo was the wife he married when his parents were still alive. The two families were in similar situations and came to Zhoujiawu to escape the war.

"Your grandpa is a good man." Grandma Yao praised Grandpa Luo again. "At that time, your grandma hadn't gotten pregnant for several years, and there was a lot of gossip in the village. Your grandpa just said he didn't want children in this lifetime, and he got angry at anyone who mentioned it."

Everyone is still quite afraid of the only "doctor" in the village. After all, everyone will have headaches and fevers. After that, there is really no one, or no one dares to be sarcastic in front of Grandma Luo.

"I heard he was injured while fleeing."

"Fortunately, fortunately, God still favors good people."

Lin Luo knew about this and had heard his mother mention it. After all, in that era, having only one child, and a girl at that, seemed an incredible thing.

"Your mother was very naughty when she was little, and your grandparents doted on her. But she also worked hard. Teacher Luo is the first university student in our Zhoujiawu."

When Grandma Yao mentioned Mother Lin, she was full of praise and doting. Her life was not easy at that time. Her husband died early, her in-laws thought she was unlucky, and her son was not very close to her. Only Mother Lin... every time she met her, she would call her sweetly and share her favorite candy.

"Besides, everyone in your family is good-looking!"

Lin Luo's father doesn't look bad, but he can't be said to be particularly good-looking either. He can only be said to be decent. But Lin's mother can definitely be described as beautiful. It is said that most of her looks were inherited from Grandma Luo.

And looking at Grandpa Luo's old appearance, I know that he must have been very good when he was young.

"It's a pity that your mother only gave birth to you. Otherwise, you would have a brother or sister now. It would be better for you, Luo girl..." Granny Yao felt something was wrong as soon as she said this. She smiled awkwardly and said, "What nonsense am I talking about? Luo girl, don't take it to heart."

Then Grandma Yao immediately changed the subject, "Speaking of which, when your grandfather was in the village..." Lin Luo knew almost everything she said. Even if there were some small things he was not clear about, it did not affect what Lin Luo really wanted to know.

"My grandpa and his family...did anything strange happen back then?" As a neighbor, Grandma Yao must be the one who knows Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo best. Lin Luo could only give them some mental hints, hoping that Grandma Yao would remember.

"Strange thing?"

Grandma Yao repeated it, then fell into deep thought. "Oh, right!" She suddenly seemed to remember something. "About twenty years ago, wasn't it? Your grandfather was away for half a month. You know, back then, they hardly even went out to town."

Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo were both homebodies, as we would say today. They would never even leave the house most of the time and might not go to town once a year. They would ask others to bring them any necessities. At that time, Grandpa Luo had some medical skills and had helped many people in the village, so everyone was happy to help.

However, because of this, the rumors that those who were speculating behind the scenes that the two had eloped were further confirmed. Otherwise, why would they be hiding so tightly?

"Twenty years ago? Is that correct? What month was it?"

Lin Luo asked quickly. She didn't know that Grandpa Luo and his family didn't go out often before. Anyway, in her memory, the two old men often took the young Lin Luo to the town to attend the market.

So, the turning point was the half month twenty years ago?

Unfortunately, Grandma Yao couldn't remember clearly. "It was summer anyway. I really can't remember the specific month."

Lin Luo knew that it was pointless to ask any further because he had something on his mind. After a quick chat with Grandma Yao for a few more words, he sent the old lady away.

When he was left alone, Lin Luo sorted out the news he had just received.

Twenty years ago, Grandpa Luo, who rarely went out, went out for half a month.

And twenty years ago, Yunshu, who was exactly three years old? Or maybe two, appeared on the mountain, regained his memories, and encountered the big wolf.

What exactly happened twenty years ago?

This is the key point!

"Lolo?"

Yun Shu, who had just returned from the mountain, saw Lin Luo deep in thought on the sofa and called out.

"Ah, Yunshu." Lin Luo stood up. "Why are you sweating so much?"

Although the temperature now is not as hot as in the summer, Yunshu has a hot constitution, and because of something he did, he looks as if he had just been pulled out of a pond.

Yun Shu picked up the water cup on the table and took a few sips. "I'm going to find the big wolf. It ran too fast, so it took a little effort."

Yun Shu would not lie to Lin Luo, but she did not tell him the key question of why she wanted to go find Dalang.

Lin Luo didn't ask. He watched Yun Shu go to take a shower and then walk to the third floor alone. Xiaobai was dozing comfortably with his eyes closed as usual.

"Xiaobai, it would be nice if you could speak." She always felt that Xiaobai knew something.

Of course, the only answer to Lin Luo was Xiaobai's standard sarcastic face.

She picked up Xiaobai with amusement and caution, and lay down on the recliner on the third floor. Her hand gently stroked Xiaobai's soft and smooth fur. Xiaobai, who felt quite comfortable being touched, meowed softly, which was crisper than the usual low voice, and her originally irritable mood was instantly cured.

It turns out that furry is the way to go, and all those annoying things can go away!

Since October, the temperature in Zhoujiawu has dropped sharply like a slide, faster than in previous years.

It was the same in my previous life. In the few years before the end of the world, the global temperature changed greatly. In simple terms, the summers became hotter and the winters became colder.

This year's summer doesn't feel that obvious, but next year she will remember that 40 degrees Celsius in the summer was the norm, and the other hemisphere might be experiencing it now.

Fortunately, Zhoujiawu had made preparations early, and it would not be difficult to survive the winter with the current supplies.

"Girl Luo, Xiaoyun, are you going out?"

The person guarding the gate at this time today was Zhou Yaozu. He greeted everyone cheerfully and then opened the gate. The security measures in Zhoujiawu are now becoming more and more stringent.

Lin Luo nodded, "Go to town with Yunshu? Take a walk."

A lot of things happened in the past two days, so Lin Luo decided to take Yunshu out for some fresh air. It would be boring to stay in Zhoujiawu all day.

I remember Xiaoyue and the others mentioned the electronics factory in the north of the town before. Today I happened to take Yunshu to take a look.

The road to the city center is to the north of the town. If you drive, it will take less than half an hour to get there. Of course, this is under normal circumstances. Now... it will probably take twice as long.

Lin Luo and Yun Shu came to this electronics factory. There were not many zombies inside, after all, this factory was not particularly large.

There were about a thousand zombies. It took Lin Luo and Yun Shu ten minutes to clean up. Then they went to the workshop to see if there was anything they could use.

In this area, Lin Luo knew nothing and mainly relied on Yun Shu. However, from the occasional light in his eyes, it could be seen that the harvest should be good.

Let Yunshu take his time to look around, since they have plenty of time. Lin Luo himself strolled leisurely in this electronics factory with a history of more than 20 years.

It also has staff dormitories, but they must have been plundered by several teams before, and there is basically nothing to eat left.

Lin Luo soon came to the so-called office area again.

The first stop was the chairman's office on the top floor. This place had also been ransacked early on, and the floor and the table were in a mess. However, Lin Luo, who had mental power, quickly discovered a small mechanism.

She walked to a long row of cabinets on the side and pushed hard, revealing a door at the back. This seemed to be the honey room often mentioned on the Internet.

The people who came to search before were probably not careful enough and didn't find this place.

Lin Luo didn't move her hands, and the door opened directly. However, the next second, a pair of sharp claws rushed towards her face.

There was actually a zombie hiding behind the door, and it was a zombie that was faster and smarter than the other zombies.

Otherwise, it would have made noises inside the door and been discovered.

Unfortunately, the person she met was Lin Luo—Lin Luo who was well prepared.

There was no need to even dodge, the zombie slowly fell down. It was able to stay in here for more than two months, and was even only one step away from becoming a level two zombie. It was obvious that it was talented.

There are two ways for zombies to evolve. One is to devour flesh and blood, and the other is to rely on themselves. This one is an example of relying on oneself.

If it wasn't Lin Luo who came this time, but someone else, it would probably be a bit dangerous.

Behind the zombies is a not-so-small room, equipped with a bathroom, bed, TV, and a huge safe.

Lin Luo's mental power moved, and the safe was violently opened, revealing important documents and some jewelry, gold bars, and various miscellaneous items inside.

Are they all useless things in the end times?

Lin Luo picked up the jewelry. Although they were useless, they still looked pretty. Xiaoyue and the others would probably like them, so he took them back for them to play with.

Then she saw several unopened buckets of water in the corner. They were quite valuable, so Lin Luo packed them up without hesitation and planned to carry them away with her mental power later.

Coming to a place that has never been explored is like opening a gift package or a blind box in a game. You don’t know what’s inside, whether it’s useful or not, it all depends on luck. It’s quite interesting to play it when you are bored.

Lin Luo continued to check.

There are a lot of condoms on the bedside table, but I'm not interested.

I'm not interested in the sexy lingerie and suit shirts in the closet.

There are also a lot of expensive skin care products in the bathroom, which makes me even less interested.

Lin Luo, who thought the biggest gain of this trip was a few buckets of water, suddenly stopped. One of the important documents that had just been scattered caught her attention.

It's a yellowed agreement.

The writing above is very ambiguous. All we can see is that the owner of the electronics factory has reached some agreement with someone to provide a batch of special electronic products on a regular basis.

He didn't say where he was going, so the other party should have come to pick it up. And judging from the date on the signature, it was twenty-five years ago.

As for the other party's name... Lin Luo carefully identified it, and it seemed to be Chen, Luo, or Yun?

She didn't know him. She only knew that there was a mysterious wealthy man named Shen Tingyun in Hua Country. He was a kind-hearted man who rarely showed up in public but often donated money. His name was a bit similar to this one.

No? But this must be a coincidence.

After looking through other things and making sure there was nothing, Lin Luo left the room, followed by several buckets of water. The scene looked weird but also a little funny.

As a result, when he went out, Yun Shu also came out with a stack of boxes that was taller than him. The two of them had a tacit understanding in this regard.

"Have you finished picking? If there's any more, we'll come back tomorrow."

Seeing that the car was almost full, Yun Shu nodded and said, "There are so many useful things here. Lolo, let's go back first. I should be able to give you a surprise in two days." His expression and tone were a little excited, and it seemed that he had recovered.

In the end times, everyone values food and water. Almost no one touches the products of this electronics factory, perhaps because no one understands them, so it's a good bargain for them.

Lin Luo smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll look forward to your surprise."

She started the car, made a beautiful U-turn and drove out of the electronics factory. Just as she was about to return the same way, the car suddenly stopped.

"Lolo?" Yun Shu turned his head and looked in the direction Lin Luo was looking. With his eyesight, he could just make out a small black dot moving quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Shu saw a car rushing towards them at full speed, as if it was running for its life.

There was a series of zombies following behind, roughly estimated to be several hundred of them. If you were a little slower, you would probably be surrounded by zombies.

——If they leave now, they can be a little faster than that car, but they will also be traveling at a very fast speed.

Lin Luo estimated the number of zombies behind him in his mind, and then looked at the people in the car. They were barely acquaintances.

Stop the car, get out, and stand still.

The car quickly approached Lin Luo, and the driver in the car also saw who this daring person was. His anxious expression paused, but he roared the next second.

"Run! There are zombies behind us! Level 2 zombies!"

It’s Hong Hu.
