Chapter 1111 Lebao can speak
Lan Shiruo was so happy that she threw away what she was holding, rushed over, hugged her son and kissed him twice. "Baby, Lebao, call me again, call me Mommy again." In her previous life, she had never heard Lebao call her Mommy, which became a lifelong regret. She didn't expect that in this life, he would speak so early, and say it so well. In an instant, the old mother burst into tears.
"Mom." The chubby little boy wiped his mother's tears with his hands, and his saliva flowed all over his mother.
Lan Shiruo rarely showed any disdain. She hugged her son and kissed him a few more times, "Hey, dear baby, that's great. Ao Chengyi, come here quickly, Ao Chengyi."
The old father was working hard in the fields. When he heard his daughter-in-law's cry, he rushed over and asked, "What's wrong, girl? What happened?"
"Lebao called mommy, he just called mommy." The old mother's eyes were red again.
Ao Chengyi was stunned for a long time, staring at his own son, "Lebao, call me daddy." The hope in the old father's eyes made little Lebao unable to bear to look at it.
Holding up the extra-small egg, he said, "Daddy, eat."
"Hey, my Lebao is so great. He can even call mom and dad." The old father couldn't help but kiss the little face a few times.
The little one felt the great enthusiasm of his parents, his saliva was flowing with joy, and he was giggling.
The clever guys tilted their heads, not understanding what the family of three was doing. Is there something wrong with their brains?
Today is a good day. The new member laid an egg and little Lebao called mom and dad. It is worth celebrating.
I took a bunch of delicious food out of the space, ready to celebrate with my friends.
When the friends heard that little Lebao could call mom and dad, they were extremely surprised. The little guy was so young, but he was so clever. They all came to Lebao and taught him to call uncle and aunt.
Little Lebao clapped his hands happily, but still only knew how to shout "Daddy, Mommy, eat."
A sumptuous dinner that lasted until midnight was destined to be a memorable day.
The next morning, the team set off in high spirits.
There was nothing wrong on the road, so Ao Chengyi asked Lu Chaoyang to take out the map and discuss with his friends where to establish a base.
Lu Chaoyang suggested several places, but Ao Chengyi rejected them all. He had good reasons for rejecting them, and his friend had no objections. Finally, he pointed to a small county town and said, "Here."
"Here?" Lu Chaoyang said after careful observation. "This is in D City, a sparsely populated small county town called Shicheng, named after its stone production. Deep in the center of a basin, the geology is hard, with more stone than soil, and a dry, hot climate. It's surrounded by mountains, all barren and rocky. The population is less than 30,000, and the people here make a living by quarrying and selling stone. There's only one rugged mountain road to get to the provincial capital. The road is very wide, and beyond three large stone mountains lies a vast wetland forest. Separated by three mountains, there are two completely different soil types and climates. Big Brother, why do you choose this place?"
Ao Chengyi nodded. "This is a good place to make a temporary base. We can defend or attack. It's sparsely populated, so it's easy to clean up. It's all hard rock, so it's not easy for dark creatures to breed. The climate is harsh, so outsiders won't come in. There are wetland forests behind the three mountains, but they are all cliffs. Even ordinary flying birds find it difficult to fly over, let alone other creatures. We don't know much about the outside world right now, nor do we know the local conditions. Using this as a temporary base, we can recuperate, gather strength, and have enough time to find a better place."
The friend pondered that here, they could be considered to be living in semi-seclusion. As a place to accumulate strength, it was indeed a good choice and everyone had no objection.
Lan Shiruo curled her lips slightly. In his previous life, Ao Chengyi also used this place as a temporary base, but for the same reason, but with a different purpose. In his previous life, he was seeking death and accumulating strength, just to make sure that the enemy would die without a burial place. Naturally, he himself had never thought about living, so having a temporary base was enough for him.
At that time, the world was more devastated than at the beginning of the apocalypse. The whole sky was gray and filled with an aura of death. Despair was on everyone's face. They had lost the motivation and hope to live on. Death was a relief.
In this life, they were accumulating strength in order to live better. This temporary base was clearly not suitable for generations of survival and could only serve as a temporary settlement. Given their lack of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, this place was very suitable.
Lan Shiruo believed that as long as they had space, they could live with hope.
Moreover, Lan Shiruo knew that Shicheng was not as useless and bad as it appeared.
A year later, the global temperature will suddenly rise. At that time, most of the water sources destroyed by acid rain will be restored, and groundwater will be usable. However, many places will be dry due to the rising temperature, and groundwater cannot be pumped out at all. But Shicheng is different. It is located in the center of the basin, and next to it is a wetland forest. The groundwater is very abundant. In the previous life, more than five years later, Ao Chengyi fell in love with this place, and a big reason was also the groundwater.
This place is indeed nice, and Lan Shiruo has no objection.
The big team unanimously agreed and decided to go to Shicheng after picking up the others.
After deciding on the place, I finally put my mind at ease and the journey became much easier. My friends and I were making a lot of noise in the car, making it very lively.
But the excitement didn't last long before an obstacle ruined the mood.
"Get off the bus, everyone, get off quickly."
Ahead, the road was covered with iron nails and blocked with roadblocks. A group of men and women holding guns faced the bus, and the woman in the lead was bossing around.
The little friend was stunned. He didn't encounter these things when he came here. He didn't expect that he would encounter highway robbery in such a sparsely populated area.
"Brother, what should we do?" Feng Tao was eager to try and was ready to rush forward.
Ao Chengyi was impatient to talk nonsense with these people, but there were old people and young children in the car, so sometimes, when doing things, you have to be gentle, "Be polite before using force."
Feng Tao was a little disappointed. He couldn't handle the etiquette, so the fox took over.
Lu Chaoyang calmly got out of the car, his foxy demeanor hidden, becoming gentle and harmless. "Everyone, the world is difficult. Please be kind. We are just ordinary people passing by. We have no money or property, so we don't deserve such a big show."
The woman was unmoved. "Stop talking nonsense and get out of the car, hurry up."
Lu Chaoyang smiled calmly, "Ma'am, if you have something to say, you can just tell me directly. My friend is timid and can't stand being scared, so let them listen in the car."
"You bastards, I told you to get out of the car, are you fucking deaf?" The woman yelled, snatched the gun from the man next to her, aimed it at Lu Chaoyang and fired. The bullet hit the ground less than an centimeter below Lu Chaoyang's toes.
Lu Chaoyang didn't move an inch, not even his eyelids twitching, and even a smile lingered on his lips. The others felt something was amiss, their hair standing on end. Only the woman remained arrogant, "If you keep on dawdling, the next grab will be his head."
"Sister Yan, let's take a look at the situation first." The man who was robbed tugged at the woman's sleeve.
The woman glared at him and said, "What are you looking at, useless thing."
The man was anxious, but he didn't dare to disobey.
Lu Chaoyang's ceremony was coming to an end. "It seems that the lady has nothing to say. Then, please move aside."
The woman was furious. "Shame on you! Come on, beat me up!"
The group of people hesitated for a moment, but finally obeyed and picked up their guns.
