Chapter 52 I'll Edit
Sun Feng'e opened her eyes a little and saw four faces that she had been thinking about day and night, with snot and tears, gathered together and looking at her.
Her voice was trembling. "You...are you human or ghost?"
Grandma "resurrected". Cheng Yaoyao experienced great joy and sorrow in just a few minutes. She was stunned and dared not speak.
Zhong Jialing wiped her face and said, "Grandma, of course we are human beings. You...you are also a human being, right?"
Sun Feng'e did a sit-up and sat up. "I am a human. I thought you all..."
Sun Feng'e covered her rapidly beating heart and couldn't help but wipe away a handful of sad tears.
Ever since Cheng Yaoyao sent her to the basement that day, there has been no news from the four children.
She saw the group of terrible things coming in and out through the gaps in the vents, but there was no sign of them.
I thought they were all killed and I cried every day.
Sun Feng'e later thought, even if the children were gone, she still had to make arrangements to send them off, right?
So they set up a small table, put their photos on it, and burned incense and paper on time.
Sun Feng'e said here with embarrassment: "According to the day you left, today is your 37th day. It is said that those who left on this day will come back.
I heard you guys howling outside the house, and I thought you guys were here to pick me up. How could I dare to say anything? I just wanted to hide and deceive the Black and White Impermanence."
Cheng Yaoyao sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Grandma, if we really come to pick you up, you still won't want to leave? Isn't it interesting for you to live alone?"
Sun Feng'e said: "We can deal with it if it's alive, but what if it's dead?"
"Wait a minute!" Luo Jiu suddenly caught a key piece of information, "Grandma, did you say today is our 37th day?"
"Yes, you will be gone for twenty-one days, you won't make any mistakes." Sun Feng'e said as she brought over the electronic clock. The thing ran on batteries and still had power. The time displayed on it was the year and month when they traveled through time to ancient times.
"Oh." Luo Jiu nodded slightly, as if he understood something.
Feng Qi suddenly realized, "That's not right, we all..."
Luo Jiu interrupted her and said, "We are all hungry. Now is not the time to talk."
Grandma said hurriedly: "Oh, you must have suffered a lot. Look how thin you are..."
Sun Feng'e thought that the children were thin because of hunger, but when she looked closely, they were not thin.
They all look full of energy and seem to be stronger?
Is it because you didn’t eat enough salt that you got swollen?
Sun Feng'e's eyes were still full of heartache, "Grandma will get you some food right away, we still have plenty to eat, and Grandma is saving the food."
Luo Jiu winked at Feng Qi and asked Cheng Yaoyao and Zhong Jialing to take grandma upstairs first. She and Feng Qi wanted to inspect the villa inside and out.
The zombies in the yard were broken into pieces and scattered on the ground. The thorny electric fence on the wall was also full of strange-looking zombies, so densely packed that it looked like the electric fence had grown hair.
It's summer now, and the yard is filled with a foul smell.
The two men frowned, put on masks, cut the electric fence with pliers, pushed the wall of zombies outside with wooden sticks, sprinkled lime powder on them and burned them.
After a while, Cheng Yaoyao and Zhong Jialing also pushed out a large trash can, which was filled with grandma's household garbage.
Feng Qi stood on the wall and quickly lifted up the meter-high barrel full of garbage, threw it outside and burned it all together.
Cheng Yaoyao took out disinfectant wipes, and the four of them gathered together to wipe their hands while holding a meeting.
Cheng Yaoyao: "It seems that no one else has been here since we left."
Feng Qi couldn't help laughing, "If others want to come, they have to be brave. There's a wall of zombies here, who knows what's going on inside."
Zhong Jialing said: "Fortunately, we came back quickly, otherwise we don't know what will happen in the future. But it's strange, we have been in the ancient times for almost two years, how can it be twenty-one days?"
Luo Jiu said: "Because the speed of time here is different from that of the other time and space, the speed of time here is about one thirtieth of that of traveling through time and space. Therefore, we stayed in ancient times for twenty-one months, but only twenty-one days passed here."
This time, when they upgraded, in addition to traveling back in time, the properties of the space changed again.
The maximum number of people that the space can hold has been reduced to three, and the space capacity has been expanded tenfold.
Now if they want to go from one corner of the space to another, they have to use transportation. Large areas of space are freed up and many new things can be put in.
Luo Jiu looked at the sky. It was already dusk.
"Let's eat first, and then settle grandma into the space."
"Ah?" Cheng Yaoyao was shocked. "How can I tell her this? She will really think she has seen a ghost."
Luo Jiu took a deep breath and said, "Just say it's high-tech. I'll make it up."
Jiangcheng has been hit by a city-wide power outage, and judging by the corpses scattered all over the ground, the water source is probably not safe either.
But Luo Jiu had a vague feeling that there should still be living people in the city.
At this time, both humans and zombies are scary.
The four men locked the security door tightly, stapled thick cardboard together with a stapler, stuck it to the window, and then pulled the thick curtains. In this way, even if the lights were on in the house, it would still look dark outside.
Luo Jiu took out a small generator, Feng Qi moved out the water dispenser and brought two buckets of purified water.
After doing all this, the smell of rice wafted over from the kitchen.
The rice cooked with a mixture of rice and millet is fragrant and appetizing.
Stir-fried broccoli, shredded potatoes with bacon, cabbage and tofu soup, and my grandma's specialty, braised green peppers and eggs.
Seeing that the food on the table was a bit plain, Cheng Yaoyao took out a ready-made cold salmon and old-style sweet and sour pork from the space to add to the dishes for everyone.
The four of them held their bowls and started eating passionately, they really missed the taste of grandma's food.
Feng Qi finished a bowl of stewed egg with rice in just two minutes.
Cheng Yaoyao added more rice to Feng Qi's plate while watching Sun Feng'e sipping her soup. She hurriedly advised, "Grandma, please eat. We have plenty of rice. You don't have to worry."
"Yes." Luo Jiu said, "We disappeared for such a long time just to get food. Now we have so much food that we can't finish it all."
Sun Feng'e didn't believe it. "How can there be so much food? Where is it?"
The three of them paused and looked at Luo Jiu at the same time to see how she would make up a story.
Luo Jiu answered calmly: "Have you heard of VR technology? The full English name is Virtual Reality."
Sun Feng'e shrank her neck and said, "How would I know? I don't understand bird language either."
Luo Jiu nodded and thought: That's easy.
“VR technology can create an illusion. A domestic company has used this technology to develop a virtual usable space.
Simply put, it is a large warehouse that no one else can see. It can be used for people to live in and to store things. We put everything in it.
I'll let Yaoyao take you inside to settle you down. You can stay inside tonight. It's not safe outside."
Sun Feng'e was stunned. "Then why don't we all move in? What are we doing outside? This wave of epidemic is too serious. People have mutated like zombies. It's so scary."
Luo Jiu smiled, "Grandma, we can't accommodate so many people right now. Besides, we have things to do outside."
"What's the matter? Don't go out."
Luo Jiu said: "If we don't go out, it's almost dark, why should we go out?"
Seeing that Sun Feng'e couldn't eat anymore, Cheng Yaoyao simply put down her bowl and took her grandmother into the space to take a look.
As soon as grandma entered, Feng Qi hurriedly asked, "Are we really not going out? When you were downstairs, didn't you say you were going to buy a big batch at Zero Yuan?"
"Why are you going out when it's almost dark?" Luo Jiu looked at her puzzledly, "Of course, wait until daybreak before going out."
