Chapter 120 Without Zhou Jiu
Zhou Zhi had already slipped away, but Zhou Jiu seemed to understand something. She didn't ask anything more and looked at the mountains, which were surrounded by Xuan power. Many creatures that had not been mutated had appeared in the mountains, which were probably animals she had seen in history books.
Zhou Jiu arrived at the base with the others. The rescued individuals were clearly a source of great joy for the people at the base. Zhou Jiu lagged behind, watching this heartwarming scene unfold.
But she felt no joy at all.
"Who are you?"
Just as Zhou Jiu was thinking about how to answer, he heard her shout at Zhou Zhi again: "Chief, who is this person? Don't bring people in without checking them first."
The group was wary of her appearance. Zhou Zhi scratched his head and said, "The chief engineer said she is Zhou Jiu, a former member of Blue Star."
"Zhou Jiu, Zhou Jiu? I don't know him."
"Let's check the family tree."
“My dad is Zhou Qian. I know a few of you. Zhou Zhi is my cousin. Your name is Zhou Yu, Yu as in language. His name is Zhou Yu, Yu as in defense. You two are twins. We played together when we were little.”
"You're lying. The patriarch only has one daughter named Zhou You, and Youyou was eaten by a strange beast when she was ten years old. I don't know you," Zhou Yu retorted, runes appearing on her hand as she slapped it to the ground.
Zhou Jiu looked at the formation in front of him, found the core of the formation, walked over and punched it, and calmly looked at the group of people, "Then let's look at the family tree."
The old man noticed the commotion and stepped out from the crowd, saying to everyone, "She is a human from our Blue Star, and a member of the Zhou family. She is not an energy creature disguised as a human. We'll talk about the rest later."
Zhou Jiu glanced at the old man, her eyelids twitching. She had a feeling that what the old man was really stopping was not the noise of a few people, but the family genealogy.
She silently repeated the names Zhou Su and Zhou You to herself, wondering who these two people were.
"Xiaoyu, take Xiaojiu to that cave next to you and let her see it."
"Fine," Zhou Yu said reluctantly, "Come with me."
When Zhou Jiu saw the cave, her pupils unconsciously dilated slightly. Well, for someone who had studied history, this was not unfamiliar to her.
However, the transformation from steel walls and mechanical houses to ancient cave dwellings has led her to sigh, "Fashion is a cycle."
"This room is yours. Decorate it yourself. We all do it ourselves, so don't bother me."
"What about food?" Zhou Jiu asked, knowing that her mecha's own nutrient solution wouldn't last long.
“Look, you can eat anything that’s in the mountains, except for animals, of course. Animals reproduce very slowly now, and if a few are destroyed, the balance will become unstable, so everyone tries not to eat meat.” Zhou Yu pointed to the wild fruits on the cliff.
"The so-called Bigu (a form of fasting)." Zhou Jiu now felt as if she had not entered the modern technological world but the mythical world of a book, and there was a sense of unreality about it.
"...Well, to be honest, you're quite interesting. But that's no excuse for you to impersonate the patriarch. The patriarch's generation sacrificed themselves to establish this human settlement. Don't say things like that outside in the future."
The bad news wasn't entirely unexpected; he had been mentally prepared. But when he heard the news, Zhou Jiu felt a momentary darkness before his eyes—a feeling he couldn't quite describe.
