Chapter 219
"Open it and take a look!"
Tang Sheng couldn't see the message in the bottle his wife mentioned, so he could only urge her to open it quickly.
He counted and found that eighteen days had passed since he last heard from his son.
An An had never been away from them for so long. Even though he knew that he was safe now and was doing well in the other world, he still couldn't help but worry.
"well!"
Tang Xueyun quickly opened the cork, and soon she heard her son's familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice.
Tang Xueyun couldn't help feeling sad when she thought that her son had actually spent more than two years in another world and his voice had changed due to growth.
I don't know how long it will take for us to have the chance to meet again...
"Mom, this time in addition to the supplies, we also put a magic tent in the space bag. This tent is very magical. There is a small house inside. You can eat, sleep and take a bath in the tent."
"Except for those who are related to me by blood, no one else can enter the inner space. In their eyes, this is just an ordinary tent."
"There is also a magic core in the tent, called Black Tuan Tuan..."
Tang Yu'an's words attracted her attention and made her forget her sadness temporarily.
Magic tent?
She listened to her son's words in some disbelief, and then took out the light brain and space bag from the bottle.
"This is a solar-powered computer that can be used as a power bank." Tang Xueyun picked up the golden brooch and turned it into a small computer ball.
Hearing this, Tang Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It just so happens that my optical computer is running out of power and I'm worried about where to find a power source."
Tang Xueyun nodded.
In fact, it lasted for 18 days without shutting down. This optical computer from another world is quite durable.
She didn't say anything more, but quickly opened the space bag and saw the magic tent on the top at first glance.
Tang Xueyun wanted to take it out, but found that the tent was stuck.
"Brother Sheng, help me."
"Do you want to take this tent out?"
Tang Sheng was a little puzzled. Although living in a tent could improve concealment, it was too inconvenient when escaping...
But he didn't say much and helped to move out the supplies that were full of supplies in the space bag.
After finding space to move, Tang Xueyun successfully took out the ordinary-looking black tent.
Tang Xueyun wanted to get up and set up the tent, but Tang Sheng took over.
Soon, the tent, which was not very big and looked like it could only accommodate two people, was set up.
Tang Xueyun recalled what her son had said to her, and couldn't wait to lift the curtain and get into the magic tent.
The view in front of her suddenly became wider, and a warm and comfortable-looking wooden house filled with supplies appeared in front of her.
Tang Xueyun couldn't help but be stunned.
This scene was too shocking for someone who had received scientific education since childhood, and she subconsciously retreated from the tent.
She looked at the small and exquisite tent and couldn't understand why it could accommodate a house.
"Ayun?" Tang Sheng looked at her puzzledly.
"This is the magic tent that An An sent us. There is a lot of space inside. You will see it when you go in." Tang Xueyun explained.
"Is there really magic in the world?"
Tang Yuxin's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was the first to open the curtain and get into the tent. Tang Xueyun picked up the bottle and followed her daughter in.
Although Tang Sheng was curious, he resisted the urge to enter the tent immediately.
He put the supplies on the ground back into the space bag, confirmed that nothing was left out and that there were no new mutants around, then he lifted the curtain of the tent.
After seeing the situation inside clearly, he, like Tang Xueyun, subconsciously stepped out of the tent to take a look.
The space in here feels bigger than the grocery store he opened!
And it feels completely different from the space bag. The inside is beautifully decorated with the roof, walls, wooden floors... and exquisite furniture!
Tang Sheng took a deep breath, lifted the curtain again and went in.
The warm and refreshing air that hit him finally gave his nerves, which had been tense for more than three months, a moment of relaxation.
【Welcome to Tang Yuan’s magic tent】
A small black ball flew towards him. Under the ball was a whiteboard with words being written on it with a pen.
If Tang Sheng saw it right, this whiteboard was clearly his son's toy. After writing on it, he just had to scrape it and the writing would disappear instantly, and he could continue writing on it.
"Hello." He looked at the small black ball and wondered in his mind if it was a magical creature.
The small bump on the whiteboard slid automatically, and the original text was scraped off, and the built-in pen wrote the text again.
[I am the Magic Core Hei Tuan Tuan, and the Master sent me to take care of you.]
【Welcome, Master's Dad! 】
This paragraph was a bit long, and Tang Sheng felt that the tip of his pen was about to create sparks on the whiteboard.
"Thank you." Tang Sheng said.
The pen tip scribbled again: [You’re welcome! ]
"Master's father, what kind of service do you need? I can prepare food, bath water, and even wash your clothes."
Another long sentence, the pen tip flew faster.
"Thank you. I'll tell you when I need something." Tang Sheng said.
【OK】
Tang Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after leaving two simple words on the whiteboard.
Tang Xueyun was also tired and sleepy, but like Tang Sheng, she did not rush to rest after entering the magic tent.
After touring the small house, she connected her optical computer to charge it, then waved to Tang Sheng and checked the video of Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi in the optical computer together.
Tang Sheng looked at the supplies scattered on the ground, walked over carefully, and sat down next to the mother and daughter.
3D images of the two teenagers soon appeared in front of them.
After Tang Yu'an's more detailed explanation, the family of three finally understood the true purpose of this magic tent.
Not only can it provide them with a place to rest temporarily, but it can also...
"Mom, if we stay in the tent, do we not need to worry about those monsters?" Tang Yuxin asked.
Before Tang Xueyun could answer, the little black ball flew over.
The magnetic pen wrote on the whiteboard again very quickly, almost leaving an afterimage.
[Master's sister, the magic tent not only has a difference between the inside and outside space, but can also switch to camouflage mode]
"You can just call me Yuxin or Xinxin." Tang Yuxin said.
[Okay, Xinxin]
"Camouflage mode?" Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun looked at each other and saw the light in each other's eyes.
Tang Xueyun thought for a moment and said, "Xinxin, let's go outside. Tell Heituantuan to switch to camouflage mode and see how it works."
"Okay, Mom." Tang Yuxin nodded.
Then Tang Sheng and his wife once again avoided the piles of supplies on the ground and went out through the door.
They stood in front of the tent and wanted to try to use the light computer to notify Tang Yuxin, but they heard the tent suddenly bang.
The tent that was originally set up on the ground suddenly rebounded and collapsed to the ground, and the tent canvas quickly became tattered.
Tang Xueyun and Tang Sheng were both shocked.
Their daughter is still in the tent!
The tent lying on the ground was completely deflated, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.
Tang Xueyun quickly lifted the curtain and looked inside. She saw the cabin again and her daughter Tang Yuxin was standing inside safely.
When she saw her mother appear, she quickly asked curiously, "Mom, how is it?"
"Very, very powerful." Tang Xueyun couldn't help but stutter.
The little black ball that landed on Tang Yuxin's shoulder jumped happily, looking very proud.
"Ayun, come in quickly!" Tang Sheng's urgent voice sounded.
Tang Xueyun didn't waste any time and quickly got into the tent, and Tang Sheng followed closely behind.
In the inner space, the sounds outside were hardly audible. Tang Sheng did not dare to lift the curtain to look outside, but nervously protected his wife and daughter behind him.
Just now he saw a black shadow appear outside the window, which should belong to some kind of cephalic mutant.
While they were waiting with bated breath, a three-meter-tall mutant broke in through the window. It prowled around the gym, sniffing the lingering smell of human flesh in the air.
It came and wandered around the tent, obviously attracted by the atmosphere here, but in the end it found nothing.
The mutant kicked over a treadmill in frustration, ignoring the tattered tent on the ground.
Finally, it walked towards the door, casually knocked the barbell away, and then walked out of the gym. When it met another deformed species head-on, they immediately started to attack each other...
In the tent, the family of three waited nervously, but the danger they had imagined did not happen.
As their nerves slowly relaxed, the little black ball flew over again, controlling the magnetic pen to write again.
[The unknown creature outside the tent has left. The owner's parents and Xinxin, you can rest in peace.]
[Do I need to prepare bath water for you? ]
After seeing the magic core, Tang Sheng lifted a corner of the door curtain doubtfully.
Because the magic tent fell to the ground, their perspective was strange and they could only look at the ceiling of the gym.
Of course, the sounds from the outside world came through more clearly.
"roar--"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Apparently, although the mutants had left, they had fought outside—
Most mutants can coexist with each other, but some will fight and devour each other, which makes them stronger.
Tang Sheng listened for a while and soon found that the sound of fighting had stopped, so he quickly lowered the door curtain.
The moment he put it down, the two mutants fighting outside rushed into the gym again and sniffed around the room with their noses.
Apparently, they prefer to devour human flesh and blood rather than their own kind.
After discovering that the target they were looking for was not in the gym, the two mutants started fighting each other again.
In the magic tent, Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then they looked at each other and saw the joy on each other's faces.
An An was right, this magic tent could really ensure their safety!
This discovery made them completely relax physically and mentally.
At this time, Tang Yuxin's voice rang out: "Mom, can we go take a shower now?"
They hadn't showered in over three months! They were stinking, and looking at the neat furniture in the room, she didn't dare sit on the chairs or sofas.
Tang Xueyun smiled and said, "Okay, go take a shower first."
Tang Yuxin jumped up happily.
The little black ball wrote again: [The bath water is ready]
"Heituantuan, you are so nice!"
Brushing the tip of the pen: [Xinxin, you are also very good]
So, Tang Yuxin was led to the bathroom by the little black ball. In addition to toiletries, the little black ball also picked out a suitable set of clothes for her from the supplies prepared by Tang Yu'an.
After Tang Yuxin finished washing, it was Tang Xueyun's turn.
“Clatter—”
When the water sprayed out from the shower head and landed on her head and body, muddy and dirty water immediately flowed down her body.
Only then did Tang Xueyun realize how dirty she was.
As the hot water washed over her, she felt her whole body and mind relaxed. She hadn't felt so comfortable in a long, long time.
After washing her hair two or three times with shampoo and shower gel, she felt that all the dirt on her body had been washed away.
After changing into the clothes prepared by the magic core, she walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, while Tang Sheng couldn't wait to walk in.
Tang Yuxin had already fallen asleep on the sofa, hugging a pillow.
Tang Xueyun touched her daughter's cheek tenderly, then gently picked her up and, guided by the magic core, led her to the bed on the second floor.
As soon as she lay down on the bed, Tang Yuxin took the initiative to pull the quilt over her and buried herself in it.
Only those who have been busy in the apocalypse for more than three months can understand how precious the comfort and ease of this moment are to them.
Tang Xueyun turned on the light brain and let it float the video to record their happiness at this moment.
"An An, have you ever lived in a magic tent before?"
Although Tang Xueyun was speaking to the computer, the little black ball had already started writing on the whiteboard.
[Yes, the master lived here for a while, and my name was given by the master]
[The owner also has a kitten and three puppies]
[The kitten is very lively and likes to play with me...]
Tang Xueyun patiently read the words written by the little black ball, imagining the scene of Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi resting in the tent.
Her heart that missed her son was finally comforted a little...
When Tang Sheng came out of the shower and went upstairs to look for the mother and daughter, Tang Xueyun was also lying on the bed and asleep.
The small computer ball was still suspended in the air recording the video.
Tang Sheng tucked the corners of the quilt for them, then took the small computer ball, tiptoed to the sofa downstairs, and then smiled at the camera.
"An An, Xiao Qi."
As soon as he shouted, his eyes became moist.
Tang Sheng wiped his face with his hands, took a deep breath and said, "You are all good children. It's so difficult in this other world, but you still care about us..."
"This magic tent was given to us, what are you going to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little black ball flew over and started writing again.
Don't worry, the owners have other places to live.
"Is it also a magic tent?" Tang Sheng asked.
The pen paused for a moment, then continued writing: [I don't know, my masters rarely come to see me.]
Tang Sheng looked at this passage. Although this little black ball had no facial features and did not look like a living creature at all, he seemed to be able to feel its emotions from its words.
He reached out and touched the little black ball: "Thank you for taking care of them. Do you feel lonely staying alone?"
The little black ball didn't answer, but just rubbed his fingers.
The pen tip continued to write: [Master's father, do you need me to prepare some food for you?]
Seeing how hard it was writing, Tang Sheng said, "Just like Xinxin, just call me daddy."
This way you can write fewer words.
[Okay, Dad]
Tang Sheng had just finished his meal and was not hungry for the time being. After he rejected the magic core, he continued to record the video.
"An An, your mother and I have both awakened our special abilities, and now we have this shelter, so you don't have to worry anymore."
He said earnestly, "Keep the good stuff for yourself, don't send everything to me."
"Also, if you need anything or encounter any difficulties, just tell us and Mom and Dad will find a way to help you."
Thinking that his two children were only in their teens and had to live in a completely unfamiliar world without any adults around them, Tang Sheng couldn't help but feel worried and distressed.
He took a deep breath, not daring to show it in front of the children: "Tell us more about what happened to you over there."
Tang Sheng chatted with his son for a while, and then began to organize the supplies that Tang Yu'an had brought them this time.
He did not turn off the video because he wanted his son to see his joy in receiving the supplies.
He was a little pretentious at first, but gradually he was shocked by the quantity and variety of things his son sent him this time.
It must have cost a lot of money to buy so many things. Has my son really become so rich in the past two years?
Soon, he discovered sturdy armor, sharp claws and flying sickles.
Tang Yu'an also recorded a demonstration video for them.
He called up the video according to the number on the computer. As he watched Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi's demonstrations, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Although he had never dealt with mutants, he felt that it should be enough to deal with ordinary ones.
What's more, it's better to have something than nothing.
He hung the three sets of armor and claw gloves at the door. As for the flying sickle, although he wanted to try it, he held back considering the limited space in the room.
The magic core said that he could just tell it what he needed. It had made a list and it would find it for him directly as long as he said it.
Although Tang Sheng praised it, he still counted the supplies himself in the end.
The process of counting supplies brought him a great sense of satisfaction. Looking back on the past three months, he felt that all the hard work had paid off.
Of course, the most important thing is that they have this safe house.
The flames rising from the fireplace make everything in the house cozy and warm, isolating it from the dangerous and terrifying apocalyptic world outside, making people feel as if they are in a dream.
When Tang Xueyun woke up, she felt that she might still be dreaming.
She slept very deeply. She hadn't slept so deeply for a long time. When she opened her eyes, she was still a little dazed.
She subconsciously sat up, ready to escape with her daughter. Not until she saw the surrounding scenery clearly did everything that happened before she went to bed finally come back to her mind.
Yes, they are safe now, they don't need to flee anymore...
The aroma of food coming from downstairs made Tang Xueyun's stomach rumble suddenly. Footsteps were heard on the stairs, and soon Tang Yuxin appeared at the stairs.
Seeing Tang Xueyun, the girl happily threw herself into her arms and said, "Mom, let's go downstairs for dinner. Dad has made a lot of delicious food!"
When Tang Xueyun went downstairs, she saw that Tang Sheng had already prepared a table of delicious food.
Braised beef with potatoes, curry chicken, red date and lotus seed soup, stir-fried vegetables...and of course the most important thing is three bowls of fragrant white rice!
"I haven't had a hot meal in a long time." Tang Yuxin said.
"You, like your brother, don't like eating white rice." Tang Xueyun rubbed her daughter's head.
“I love eating it now!”
After being hungry for so many days, everything I eat tastes delicious now.
Tang Xueyun touched her daughter's thin cheek and said distressedly, "Eat quickly, eat well and replenish your nutrition."
"Yes, you are still growing, so eat more." Tang Sheng picked up meat and vegetables for them.
The vegetables and potatoes are fresh, and the meat comes from cans. Although the taste is not that good, it is good to be able to eat meat in such a doomsday with scarce supplies.
The family of three sat together and had a delicious and filling meal after a long time.
"It would be nice if my brother and my brother were here too." Tang Yuxin suddenly said, "I miss them so much."
Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun were both stunned.
Afterwards, they swallowed their sorrow and said to their daughter, "After dinner, you can use the computer to talk to them more. They can hear you."
"Yeah!" Tang Yuxin nodded.
After dinner, Tang Yuxin held the laptop and talked to her two brothers, and Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun were suddenly free.
"I'll go out and take a look." Tang Sheng said, "I wonder what kind of damage those two deformed creatures have done to the outside world."
Tang Xueyun held him back and said, "Now that we have the magic tent as a safe house, there's no need for us to take risks."
Having said that, Tang Sheng has his own ideas.
"We can't possibly stay here forever, right?"
Supplies would eventually run out, so would they have to rely on An An to support them forever? As a father, Tang Sheng simply couldn't accept this.
"We have to find a way to at least survive on our own." Tang Sheng said seriously.
Tang Xueyun also agreed with his idea, but she felt that there was no need to be so anxious. She said, "We can rest for a few days and then make a long-term plan."
During these three months, not only did she and her daughter lose a lot of weight, but Tang Sheng also became so thin that he was unrecognizable from his former strong man.
They are all too tired and exhausted and need to be well cared for.
Tang Sheng nodded, but he still lifted the curtain and peeked out secretly, then lowered the curtain with a serious expression.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xueyun asked.
"There's a mutant outside, and it doesn't seem to be leaving." Tang Sheng said, "It probably devoured its own kind and stayed here to digest."
In this situation, they really can't go out even if they want to.
Tang Sheng sighed, "Then I'll listen to you. Stay and rest. Don't go out for the time being."
Tang Xueyun smiled and nodded.
Tang Sheng continued to organize supplies and prepare to plant some vegetables. She asked the magic core to find the wool and sat on the sofa to knit a sweater.
From the video, we can see that An An and Xiao Qi's clothes are very thin. They have grown a lot, and their old clothes probably don't fit them anymore.
So she planned to make a few clothes and send them to them next time.
After Tang Yuxin finished talking to her two brothers, she ran over to help.
Tang Xueyun put the light brain into the bottle and stuffed the space bag into it - they already had one, and now they were living in the magic tent, so they couldn't use it for the time being.
She put the cork in the bottle, said a few words to it, and it disappeared.
At this time, she saw her daughter pick up the ball of yarn and said with a smile: "Then I will knit a hat for my brother!"
When her brother receives the hat, will he give her a fun gift?
The author has something to say:
Anzai: The gift is on the way [shy]
