Feng Zhi was somewhat puzzled. "I always thought all the survivors on our planet were here. It seems... that's not entirely true. I wonder if he's the only exception."
Gu Lin put down his water glass. "Wait until he wakes up and ask him."
At this moment, Shi Tu brought over a bowl of vegetable and minced meat porridge. Everyone made way for him, and Qu Fu took the bowl and spoon, saying, "Shi Tu, you've worked so hard for so long, let me feed you."
He scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and fed it to him.
"Hey! You can swallow food too."
Everyone was happy that the food was being fed.
The bowl of porridge was finished quickly.
The man was put back on the bed.
Lu Manman watched as the grandfathers busied themselves taking care of the man, and then looked at the animal skin on the man's body, the unpleasant smell occasionally wafting into her nostrils.
Lu Manman wrinkled her nose. "Aren't you going to consider changing his clothes and giving him a wash?"
Emmm, no one really thought about this issue. After all, water is hard to come by, and no one is too reluctant to use it for washing.
This led to a habit of not washing up much.
Although there's plenty of water now, it was all thanks to Lu Manman's hard work, so they still don't dare to waste it. They only wash about once a week, and they've gotten used to it over the years, so...
At the time, Lu Manman was unconscious, and they didn't even think about washing her up; they just fed her water and nutritional supplements on time.
Gu Lin coughed. "It does smell a bit bad. Now that we have the means, why don't we give him a wash?"
Qi Chao nodded, "Sure, he's about my height, he can wear my clothes."
Chen Hua: "It's not good to keep it in the kitchen all the time. I have an empty room next door, so I can put it in that room."
Feng Zhi: "I'll make some more furniture for him later."
And so, the incredibly efficient grandfathers quickly delivered the person to the room Chen Hua had mentioned.
Looking at the man lying in bed, Gu Lin spoke up, "We don't know when this person will wake up yet. Let's take turns taking care of him. We don't need to take care of the child. One of us will take turns each day to take care of his eating, drinking, and toileting needs, and keep an eye on his condition."
"Um!"
The suggestion was approved by everyone, and Lu Manman nodded as well. She wanted to go outside to see if there were any other people.
Although her grandfather treated her very well here, she still longed for more people and more excitement, and it would be best if she could find others like her who came from outside. She was also eager to learn about the outside world.
Lu Manman felt that since she had ended up here, there must be other people around, and this person might be the beginning.
Lu Manman's main task now when he goes out is to search for other survivors.
Everything proceeded as planned, except for the addition of one more person in the safe zone; everything seemed to have returned to normal.
Three days later, at noon, in the man's room.
Today it was Zhong Lizhong's turn to take care of the man. Zhong Lizhong brought him a bowl of fish porridge, helped the man up and set him down, and turned to get the fish porridge to feed him when he noticed that the man's eyelids twitched slightly.
Zhong Lizhong stared wide-eyed, afraid to move or breathe, lest he disturb his awakening.
The man's eyelids twitched, and Zhong Li's little heart pounded.
The stalemate continued for a long time. Under Zhong Li's tense yet expectant gaze, the man's eyelids finally calmed down.
Zhong Lizhong: ...That's it?!
Zhong Lizhong observed carefully for a long time, and indeed there was no more movement.
Having been eagerly anticipating something for nothing, Zhong Lizhong immediately put down his bowl and spoon and stormed out the door.
He shouted as he ran, "His eyelids moved! His eyelids moved!"
This commotion successfully attracted everyone's attention, and soon a group of people gathered around.
Chen Hua grabbed Zhong Lizhong and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Zhong Lizhong looked around and asked, "Is everyone here?"
Qu Fu gave him a big slap, "Nonsense, we just finished eating and drinking water, and we haven't been out for long, and you've already led us here."
Zhong Lizhong scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, it's a pity the child isn't here."
Shi Tu was getting impatient. "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Hehe! I just thought it was better because everyone was talking about it. It's a pity the child didn't come home for lunch, otherwise..."
Gu Lin waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go see for ourselves."
Seeing that everyone was leaving, Zhong Lizhong quickly tried to stop them, "Hey! Hey! Don't go, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
Zhong Lizhong, relying on his youth, caught up with everyone in a few steps. "Just now when I was about to feed him, his eyelids twitched. They twitched for a long, long time. I thought he was going to wake up, but I was just being overly excited. He was just moving his eyelids for fun."
After Zhong Lizhong finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances. That settled it. This young Zhong was still a bit too young and naive!
However, since they had nothing else to do, they decided to take a look anyway, and the group headed towards the man's room in a grand procession.
The door to the room was wide open. Gu Lin shook his head and said to Zhong Lizhong, "The weather is getting colder now, so remember to close the door behind you."
"Hmm! I was too excited just now and forgot."
Upon entering the room, everyone was stunned. The man who should have been lying on the bed was now sitting on the edge of the bed, wolfing down a bowl of fish porridge.
They came in without giving any response.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. After Shi Tu reacted, he said, "No way, you haven't fed him yet. We ate late enough today, and you still haven't fed the patient. Look how hungry he is."
Zhong Lizhong smiled awkwardly, "I was just too excited."
Everyone: ...They're still too young and impetuous!
The man finally finished the porridge, and his stomach felt much better. He had been feeling very hungry, and after struggling a few times, he finally came to his senses and enjoyed a bowl of incredibly delicious fish porridge. It was so comforting.
I stretched comfortably, but suddenly saw a group of elderly people with gray hair and beards standing at the door.
The man paused in his stretching, then was the first to react. He broke into a big laugh, got out of bed, and shook hands with everyone. "Hello! You saved me, right? Thank you so much! I even saw my great-grandmother in my dazed state. I thought I was going to die this time. I never expected to run into you. I'm so lucky. I'm so grateful!"
Wow! What a lively child!
That smile is a little creepy, and those hands are rough to the touch. She's still too thin; she needs to eat more.
Gu Lin coughed. "Child, what's your name?"
The man slapped his forehead. "Oh dear! What a forgetful thing! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hua Qingmo. I don't even know the surnames of my benefactors. Um, by the way, where is this place?"
The group exchanged glances; were they not indigenous people after all?
The group introduced themselves, and Gu Lin asked, "Don't you know where this is? How did you get here?"
Hua Qingmo sighed, feeling a pang of sadness as she thought about the past year. "I was on a mission, but I accidentally ran into the Zerg Queen. After several deadly battles, I was finally defeated by them, and when I woke up, I was here."
Zhong Lizhong's eyes lit up. "Do you have any transportation?"
