Chapter 53 Strange and Eerie
"ah?"
What did he see?
As he ran toward his sister, an octopus tangled around his leg, tripping him. But he kept crawling forward, even when someone stepped on him. He didn't stop and kept crawling in that direction.
So, he did something stupid again?
Pei Xiu looked a little dejected.
Ling Ran pointed at the octopus and ordered, "Pei Xiu, what are you standing there for? Catch that octopus. Have Xiao Liu make a stir-fried octopus for lunch."
"Okay, sis!"
Seeing that his sister didn't seem to care about his foolish act, Pei Xiu immediately perked up and ran to grab the octopus that was about to escape into the sea. He then swung his arm and shoved it into the ground: "You were so arrogant just now! You even dared to cling to my leg. Luckily, my sister is alright, otherwise I would have chopped you up and eaten you. After that, I would have used you as fertilizer! I'll eat you after the vegetables I've planted are ready!"
"Miss Ling!"
After directing the team to finish up, Hu Shuo immediately walked over to Ling Ran and said, "Thank you for what you did earlier."
He originally wanted to ask Ling Ran about her superpowers, but then he figured she probably wouldn't tell him, so there was no need to bother her.
However, even now, the scene from just now is still vivid in his mind, and it is still very shocking!
Hu Shuo had a hunch that if Ling Ran could stay at the base, all the problems at the Southern Province base might be solved, and it might even become the largest base in the country!
"Um."
Ling Ran waved her hand casually: "You seem to have a lot of free time? If you do, go pick some seafood for me. It tastes delicious, but it's really fishy when it's alive."
Hu Shuo found it somewhat amusing to see her nonchalant attitude, as if what had just happened was merely something she had done incidentally.
"Okay, I'll pick some for you. Is there anything you want to eat?"
"I've eaten a lot of shrimp and crab. What about shellfish? And fish? I eat whatever tastes good. I'm not picky."
"good."
Ling Ran saw that everyone was squatting down picking up seafood, and looking around, it seemed that she was the only one standing there.
She turned to look at the endless sea, her eyes slightly narrowed: "Great white shark, is it delicious?"
They were protected animals before the apocalypse, but they probably aren't after the apocalypse, right?
However, the thought of the great white shark's gaping maw made Ling Ran feel somewhat nauseous.
Oh well, never mind.
After Liu Xiuping and the others finished picking up their things, Ling Ran looked at the two buckets of seafood each carrying and was very satisfied: "Let's go home and eat seafood!"
Hu Shuo and Fei Fei followed Ling Ran back to the villa. Apart from one bucket that Liu Xiuping brought, the others were all from Hu Shuo.
"Captain Hu, would you like to come over for a seafood feast at noon?"
To be honest, this invitation is not attractive at all.
Before Ling Ran arrived, they ate seafood every day and were sick of it. Now they just live on the steamed buns and vegetables from the cafeteria every day.
"Then we'll come and bother you at noon. Do you mind if I bring another person? If we don't have enough seafood, we can bring some more from here." Hu Shuo's usually serious and tense face now showed a slight smile, which looked somewhat eerie.
"I don't mind."
"Okay." Hu Shuo nodded. "Then we'll be going now, and we'll come back at noon."
Ling Ran hummed in agreement, then kindly reminded him, "Captain Hu, let me give you a piece of advice: you'd better not laugh anymore, it's kind of creepy."
Hu Shuo: "..."
Fei Fei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud, but quickly stopped himself.
Ling Ran was completely oblivious to Hu Shuo's dark expression: "I'm going to take a nap." After saying that, she yawned again.
I stayed up all night watching TV yesterday, and I'm really sleepy.
Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang seemed to be in good spirits. They were both young college students, so staying up all night was normal for them; they had often stayed up all night playing games before.
"Sis, you go to sleep, I'll help Aunt Liu prepare the seafood."
"Um."
Ling Ran responded, yawned, and then went upstairs to sleep.
