Chapter 194: Evil Woman.
In the past, Shu Maomao was silent and aloof, without a sound or trace, as if he were her shadow.
He never took the initiative to communicate with others, nor did he make his own decisions. He would either listen to her instructions or look up and ask questions.
"Mom, are we going to kill these people?"
"Mom, can I go play football?"
Shu Lan began to tell him: "Don't ask me, make your own decision."
"You can go if you want. I don't have anything to do here."
As time passed, the seasons changed, and year after year, the underground base was completed layer by layer, and Shu Maomao grew up year by year.
His eyebrows and eyes grew, his stature grew taller, and he stood out from the shadows behind her, becoming a young boy who could stand on his own. His words became—
"Mom, they called me, I went to play football."
"Mom, I'm going to learn how to fly a plane."
"Mom, I learned how to fly a plane. Let's go out and play."
That's right, her genius son Shu Maomao grew to 1.68 meters tall when he was twelve years old, and learned to fly a helicopter. Shu Lan took a helicopter ride once and vomited all over the place after getting off.
She felt very sorry. Shu Maomao had finally grown taller and could fly a plane to take her to more places she wanted to go, but she was so disappointed.
"I'm sorry, baby. I'm too delicate. Just drive it by yourself... Ugh..."
Shu Maomao squatted down and used his healing ability on her. Seeing her pale face and a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead, he pursed his lips.
She was not spoiled at all. In Li Yanli's memory, she was lively, agile, and strong, jumping around. Even if she had been hungry for several days, she could still walk briskly.
She was originally the most vital woman in the apocalypse.
After Shu Lan recovered and stood up, Shu Maomao turned around and pushed the helicopter he had just learned to use as far as possible, raised it into the air, and detonated it with a bang.
Shu Lan asked in surprise: "Why blow it up?"
"It's useless." Shu Maomao tilted his head indifferently: "You're on the ground, and I don't want to fly."
Shu Lan blinked, and the flames in the air melted into a soft warm light in her eyes. She raised her hand and touched Shu Maomao's soft hair, smiling and said, "Oh, you clingy little mama's boy."
He is growing so fast that I have to raise my hand to touch his head.
"But to be honest, moths are more comfortable to sit on."
"Mom, after the moth comes out several times in a row and has nothing to eat, it takes many calls before it comes."
"If a moth is disobedient, it's probably because it's been spoiled. A few beatings will fix it."
At the end of the same year, with the concerted efforts of nearly one million survivors driven to District 9 by the Zombie King and the almost omnipotent plunderers, the underground base for refuge was basically completed.
The area of the Hive Residential Area alone covers nearly half of District 9, and the original subway tunnel has also been utilized to become a transportation channel connecting various warehouses.
Li Yanli rushed over from the north to help them eliminate the last hidden danger, which was the river.
Before this, the underground water pipes had not been fully laid and domestic water still relied on this river, so it was kept.
Li Yanli had successfully changed the river course once in the timeline when Jiang He recruited him. With the experience, he could do it better.
What's more, this time he has a powerful helper, the little predator Shu Maomao from the human side.
Li Yanli was standing by the river. Seeing the mother and son get out of the car, he teased, "I haven't seen you for half a year, and you're already taller than your mother. Is it reasonable to grow so fast?"
Shu Maomao raised his eyes, glanced at him calmly, and said, "You grow slowly, so of course it doesn't make sense to compare yourself to me."
Li Yanli raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shu Xiaolan, is there someone in your base who has a very sharp tongue, and you hang out with him every day?"
Shu Lan said, "Yeah, that person is me. You have no idea what a vicious woman you can become if you take care of the mess of millions of people every day. Sometimes I really want to kill them all like you did, but then I think they're just a little stupid, not bad, so I can just scold them. It's not easy for them."
Hearing her complain about others, Li Yanli was overjoyed: "Thank you for your hard work, Commander Qin."
"It's not hard work, it's just a hard life. You guys keep busy, I'll just bask in the sun by the river. It won't be long before there's nothing left to bask in."
Li Yanli asked, "The oxygen supply system I told you about before."
"I understand. They have a large stockpile of liquid oxygen or something. Let Shu Maomao tell you. I don't quite understand."
Shu Maomao continued, "We have liquid nitrogen and compressed oxygen cylinders. The space has oxygen ready to go. We've also laid a layer of compressed air ducts. Once the dust and poison gas on the ground have dispersed, we'll see if we can get air from the ground for filtration. If not, forget it."
Li Yanli nodded: "It sounds like you can live for a long time. Let's go and move this bad river away."
Shu Lan shivered as the wind blew, and she called out, "Wait a minute! Give me some fire-making tools, and leave me a few sweet potatoes to roast. Otherwise, I'll be too bored here alone, and it's a bit cold."
Shu Maomao gave her sweet potatoes, a pot of hot water, and a bunch of fruit. He also brought Xiao Hei and Dengbao out to chat with Shu Lan.
Shu Lan built a fire by the river and waited for them to finish their work while basking in the sun.
The trees by the river were all dead, and even the grass was withered and yellow. Every scene indicated that the blue planet was heading towards its end.
Shu Lan said lazily, "Xiao Hei."
Xiao Hei replied honestly: "Yes, Mother of Players."
The three balls have been together for many years and their names have gradually become consistent.
"Do you know how many years you have to survive to complete the Eternal Night mission?"
"have no idea."
"Light bulb, you don't know either?"
The light bulb replied: "There is no answer to this question in my task prompt, Master's Mother."
Although they come from the same place, they are unaware of each other's existence. However, each ball has its own set of background settings.
Big Mouth said that Blue Star is a real world, Xiao Hei said it is a game, and Light Bulb said it is a novel that can rewrite the plot.
No matter how Shu Lan asked, she couldn't find out their true origins.
The fire was almost burnt out. Shu Lan lowered her head to bury the sweet potatoes in the fire. Suddenly, a moving black dot entered her sight. She looked closely and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Ant!
There are actually ants in the world that can escape the virus and survive to this day!
That's right, the ants are so small and there are so many of them, it's impossible for all of them to be infected.
For some reason, when Shu Lan saw the little ant using its antennae to poke its head out, she felt an indescribable feeling of being moved.
It’s great that you also survived the disaster that came from the sky.
She smashed the sweet potato into pieces and placed the broken pieces in front of the ant. She saw it touch them with its antennae and then wobbled back the way it came.
After a while, the ant called its brothers and sisters, and a row of black dots surrounded the piece of sweet potato, worked together to lift it up, and moved it back to the hole.
Shu Lan thought that if she didn't give them sweet potatoes, they might have to run a long way to find food for the winter.
She continued to break the sweet potato into pieces, and caught a glimpse of the stone next to her. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
If she had killed the ants with stones now, or gotten some river water to pour into their ant holes and drown them.
Do ants wonder where the sweet potatoes, rocks, and water come from?
I guess I can’t figure it out even if I rack my brains.
The tiny ants run around all their lives and can only see the world beside the river bank. They may not even know what the huge monster sitting next to them is that brings disaster to them.
Shu Lan sat up straight, looking up at the sky, as if looking through the azure sky to a farther, more invisible place. The thoughts in her eyes surged like a tide, then slowly sank and returned to clarity.
Haha, she probably guessed it.
