Chapter 083 Zombie Apocalypse 21
Xie Yunsui's chest was warm, and his arms were clasped tightly behind his back. Lu Xizhou could hardly breathe.
Lu Xizhou didn't want to struggle and leave, he liked this kind of warmth.
When he was a child, he was often hugged by his parents. Lu Xizhou was happy at that time, but the happy time was very short. After he was ten years old, he never had such a hug again.
Lu Xizhou quietly put his arms around his waist and back, and when he was about to touch his clothes, Xie Yunsui let him go.
He hastily pulled his hand back.
Xie Yunsui then remembered that his strategy progress had not reached this level, and fearing that Xiaoxi would be frightened again, he quickly let go of her hand.
"Sorry..." He was just about to think of an excuse, such as mistaking someone for the wrong person, but when he met Xiaoxi's slightly disappointed look, he suddenly had an idea - they had hugged her for quite a while, but Xiaoxi didn't push him away.
Xie Yunsui felt a sweet sensation in his heart and said, "I was too impulsive. Did I scare you?"
Lu Xizhou shook his head at first, and then figured out the meaning of this sentence.
I'm sorry for the impulse, not the hug.
The back of his ears gradually turned crimson, and Lu Xizhou didn't know how to react for a moment.
Xie Yunsui didn't give him a chance to think too much and took out a large portion of food. "I prepared a lot today. It's a bit heavy. Can I put it on the table for you?"
Lu Xizhou nodded and led him to the restaurant.
Xie Yunsui walked in so openly.
"The other day you said the double berry jam was a bit sour. I made it again this time and added more sugar. Do you think it suits your taste?"
Xie Yunsui pretended to be busy and took out two cans of double berry jam, took out a piece of fresh milk toast, spread the jam on it and gave it to Lu Xizhou.
Lu Xizhou had just taken over when he saw him take out a box of steamed dumplings. "I've re-researched the filling of the steamed dumplings. I used your favorite fine smoked meat and fresh shepherd's purse and dried tofu. It tastes very special. Would you like to try it?"
Lu Xizhou had a half-bitten piece of bread in his left hand and a steamed bun in his right hand, his mouth stuffed full.
"I've washed the blueberries, just eat them." Xie Yunsui took out a large durian and prepared to open it for him: "Do you have a larger bowl or plate? I'll peel it for you."
Xie Yunsui's tone was so natural and frank, as if he was a member of this family, who had just returned from shopping and was sharing food with his family.
Lu Xizhou listened to him and worked for a while. When he finished peeling the durian, he looked at the shrimp dumplings, wontons, and custard buns on the table and blinked: "Have you eaten yet?"
Xie Yunsui tentatively replied, "...No?"
Lu Xizhou pushed a bowl of wontons to him and said, "Let's eat together."
Xie Yunsui couldn't believe it. The progress bar of the strategy seemed to have increased a lot all of a sudden. Why was Xiaoxi suddenly so nice to him?
Of course, since Xiaoxi invited him so kindly, Xie Yunsui had no reason to refuse. He sat down and had breakfast with Xiaoxi.
Lu Xizhou finally stopped being urged to eat, and slowly took a steamed dumpling and ate it with the wontons.
When Xie Yunsui was about to finish eating, Lu Xizhou suddenly asked him, "Do you like me?"
"Cough cough!" Xie Yunsui choked.
No matter which world Xiaoxi is from, she is always so straightforward that it's scary.
Xie Yunsui looked resentful. He had thought that given how reserved Xiaoxi was in this world, he would be the one to point it out first.
Another step slower!
But he still put down his bowl and chopsticks and answered seriously, "Yes."
Lu Xizhou avoided his sight: "Don't like me, I'm not good."
"I have the final say on whether it's good or not." Xie Yunsui leaned closer and whispered, "Give me a chance, okay?"
Lu Xizhou stopped eating and said sullenly, "I'm not worthy, and I have nothing to give you."
Although Xiaoxi in the first two worlds had various family difficulties, overall, there were people around him who healed him.
But Lu Xizhou didn't. After his parents left, his relatives only came to care about him for money and house.
Lu Xizhou in this world receives very little love, so he feels inferior and thinks he is not worthy of being loved by others.
Xie Yunsui's heart softened all of a sudden.
"You know, I opened a convenience store nearby, but I'm alone. I go to work alone, eat alone, and sleep alone... It's too lonely to be alone. That's why after meeting you, I thought of sharing half of my food with you. Sharing with someone makes me happier. I really want someone to talk to me."
Xie Yunsui lowered his head, his eyelashes casting a shadow on his face, his tone was heavy, and he looked extremely lonely.
Lu Xizhou's fingers trembled slightly. For some reason, he felt a little distressed and didn't want to see him sad.
Xie Yunsui paused, and when he heard no response, he raised his head again and asked hopefully, "It doesn't matter if you don't like me. I just want to have a meal with you and chat like this... Are you willing to accompany me?"
"Okay, okay, but I'm not very good at chatting—"
Lu Xizhou felt really embarrassed by him and had no choice but to agree.
Xie Yunsui hugged him again impulsively, trying to hide the upward curve of her lips: "Thank you."
It’s okay, take your time.
First we eat together, then we go to work together, and finally we sleep together...well, it will happen eventually.
Xie Yunsui has been in a good mood these days and has become much more generous to the captives in the convenience store. He is even willing to add sausage to their meals.
I also show more mercy when fighting with them every day.
After testing the ability levels and potential of this group of people, he decided to conduct an experiment.
The crystal cores fed to the Wanjie Shop were all zombies. Xie Yunsui kept a lot of supernatural crystal cores, including those of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, because these were the least valuable.
A lightning crystal core was found on Zou Yao, but other crystal cores such as ice, space, and healing were never seen before.
But five elements are enough.
Xie Yunsui held a water crystal core, absorbed its energy, and sensed the active energy of a certain attribute in his body. He went downstairs and put down the two fire-type mutants.
"Come."
These past few days, Xie Yunsui wanted to fight with them from time to time, and he just said that he would let them go if they won. The psychics were used to it.
The two fire-type psychics had rested for a long time and their powers had recovered a lot, so they condensed fireballs to attack, but were then hit on the head by a curtain of water and stunned.
"Squeak~"
"ah?"
Zou Yao and others who were hanging on the ceiling could see clearly that the water wall did not appear out of thin air. Xie Yunsui waved his hand.
Isn't he a space ability user?
Xie Yunsui calculated the active period of the water attribute ability, and after it ended, he pinched a fire crystal core and put the water attribute ability user down.
Only after testing the five elements energy crystal core over and over again did Xie Yunsui stop torturing these little white mice.
"Alas, why are none of you trying to live up to your expectations? Not even one of you has managed to defeat me in all these days?"
After Xie Yunsui finished the experiment, he calculated the time and found that they had not returned to the North District base for almost ten days. If they continued to "disappear" like this, the people in the North District would probably be scared.
So they sent this group of people back to the North District overnight, and took 300 crystal cores from each of them as redemption money.
After disappearing for ten days, the group of people who suddenly returned to the base were not as happy as they had imagined.
They were immersed in the state of being stunned by Xie Yunsui.
It was a very long time later, so long that someone found them the next day, someone happily celebrated for their survival, and someone asked them about their experiences over the past few days, and only then did they slowly come to their senses.
"No, why can he have so many superpowers by himself?"
"What kind of superpower is he?"
The South District Base finally welcomed their great benefactor.
Xiang Ziming had received the news a few days ago, and was the first to come over with the crystal core: "I want to exchange it for a seed bag!"
You know, since they left the convenience store last time, in order to earn more crystal cores, their South District actually formed ten more teams to go out.
Xiang Ziming even led by example, finding people to help take care of his vegetable garden while he worked outside from morning to night.
Xiao Xingjin was not in a hurry to buy anything, but stood aside and took notes with a pen and paper.
Xie Yunsui glanced at him, and Xiao Xingjin shuddered. He explained sheepishly, "I'm just trying to see how long everyone's food reserves will last..."
People queuing up to exchange supplies seemed to be used to it.
Xie Yunsui was a little curious. People in other bases were eager to hide the supplies they exchanged, but there were special people in the South District Base who recorded how much supplies were exchanged?
Xiang Ziming noticed Xie Yunsui's confusion and smiled. After Xie Yunsui finished today's exchange activity and invited everyone to his own vegetable garden, he explained the reason.
"Our base is currently self-sufficient, and there are many people like me who have their own vegetable gardens."
Xiao Xingjin followed and chimed in, "They need to research new seeds, which takes time. Once the base runs out of food, I'll have them switch to seeds that have already been researched and proven effective, and plant some vegetables to fill their stomachs."
Xiang Ziming's vegetable garden is divided into several regular shapes, some rectangular, some square. Some have sprouted, some are blooming, and some have just been turned over and nothing has started yet.
Only a two-square-meter plot of land had vegetables growing on it.
The white-rooted green leafy vegetable is half a person's height, with leaves as wide as a palm-leaf fan, and looks a little familiar.
"The vegetables that came out this time are actually Chinese cabbage. The leaves are bigger and the taste is not very good. They don't have the sweetness of vegetables, but they are edible and can fill you up. Moreover, they have a fast growth period. They grow back in two days after being cut. They are now the preferred crop grown in the base."
Xiang Ziming smiled and said, "I've already sprouted and planted the potatoes and sweet potatoes I got from Boss Xie last time. I hope they'll yield as much as they could before the end of the world. Together with this cabbage, we won't have to worry about running out of food this cold winter."
Only then did Xie Yunsui realize that it was already autumn.
He has energy protection and is not very sensitive to the external temperature.
"Congratulations."
"We are confident that we can get through this cold winter." Xiao Xingjin smiled. "Although the mutation happened suddenly and the zombie virus is contagious, fortunately everyone has mastered the methods to deal with the zombies. It's just that there are few survivors and the zombie base is large, but sooner or later the zombies will be cleared out, and then we can rebuild the pre-apocalyptic society."
As long as there is a piece of land, human beings will not starve to death, and as long as they do not starve to death, human beings can survive.
Xie Yunsui's brows jumped.
According to Xiao Xingjin, the zombies will be eliminated sooner or later, and it is only a matter of time before humans can restore their pre-apocalyptic society...
Then why is Xiao Wan still deducting his energy value?
The world is still collapsing.
