012:
Just like that, Sang Luo, wearing a fiery red dress and a cashmere jacket, walked out of the door gracefully on the red carpet.
The young palace maid Hu and the young eunuch Ning followed in small steps.
They were wrapped in thick down jackets, holding a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, and were fully armed.
As soon as they went out, the cold air hit them and they both breathed in a breath of cold air.
The central air conditioning in the house works 24 hours a day and the temperature is suitable.
Hu Lingling thought more than once: Fortunately, the power didn't go out.
But I was also confused: Why didn’t the electricity go out?
She asked Sang Luo and got a ridiculous answer:
I paid tens of thousands of electricity bills at one time, so the electricity will naturally not be stopped until it is used up.
This isn't about the electricity bill.
Logically, with monsters rampant in the city, the power system should be destroyed.
But no matter what, it's a good thing as long as there is no power outage.
Hu Lingling didn't think any more about it.
The elevator was not being maintained and was stuck on the 12th floor and was no longer usable.
Ning Ziqiu, as a humanoid mount, squatted down consciously.
——We can’t let Luo Shen walk down the twenty-second floor.
Sang Luo waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.
Pointing to 2202 across the street: "Open the door."
……ah?
The two teenagers were stunned.
Sang Luo glanced at them through her long, curled eyelashes and said cheerfully, "Who says we have to go outside to find supplies? With such a big building, are we still worried about not finding food?"
Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu suddenly understood.
…They didn’t even think of searching the other houses!
Subconsciously, I felt that it was someone else's home, what if there was someone inside?
Sometime shortly after Apocalypse Day, television signals were restored for a brief moment.
There was no picture on the screen, only a mechanical voice.
The voice said that the world was facing a catastrophe and that the surviving humans should stay at home, lock the doors and windows and wait for rescue.
If rescue is delayed and the surrounding environment becomes increasingly dangerous, you can go to the northern base on your own.
He also educates the surviving humans about the various awakened superpowers.
It gave a clear understanding to some people with special abilities who had just awakened and were at a loss.
Afterwards, some survivors remained at home, hoping for rescue.
Some of those who have awakened their special powers began to form teams and head to the base.
There were not many survivors in the building where Sang Luo lived from the beginning.
Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu had knocked on every floor before.
Most of it was silent.
The roars of zombies could be heard from a small part of the room.
The remaining survivors spoke a few words cautiously behind the door and then fell silent.
——I’m worried that they will come to steal food.
There were a lot of zombies moving around in the other buildings, so they didn't dare go there.
Now that several months have passed, I'm afraid there are no other survivors in the entire building except the three of them.
Hu Lingling, who was awakened, immediately produced a thin vine and drilled into the door lock of 2202.
After a while, the door lock clicked.
Ning Ziqiu raised his gun and stood guard.
The room was dimly lit, the air was cold and murky, and there was no smell of decay from zombies.
There were obvious signs of a fight in the living room, and near the window was a dried-up corpse.
Hu Lingling pulled the curtain from the sofa and covered the corpse with it.
Ning Ziqiu found an unopened bag of packaged rice, a bottle of cooking oil, etc. in the kitchen.
There were only some drinks in the large double-door refrigerator.
——This family probably doesn’t cook at home very often.
Next, going down floor by floor, Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu were responsible for opening doors, cleaning, and collecting.
Sang Luo finally waved his hand and put the found supplies into the space.
During this period, she only took action once.
There are actually five zombies in 1202.
They are very steady - Hu Lingling knocks on the door before opening it - if there are zombies inside, they will naturally be alarmed and they will be prepared.
When she knocked on the door, there was no movement.
But as soon as the door was opened, zombies rushed out howling.
One of them even has fire abilities.
Although it is still level two, it clearly has some intelligence, which is what allows it to keep other zombies quiet and confuse its prey.
Sang Luo used the two abilities of blocking space and teleporting seamlessly to throw several zombies down the building one by one.
Leave the fire zombie behind.
The fireball thrown by the opponent was wrapped by her water flow.
The two of them watched her stare at the zombie for a long time, and finally threw it down the stairs with regret in her eyes.
They all agreed that:
If this zombie was taller, Sang Luo would probably keep it.
But it is thin and short.
She was a little old lady when she was alive.
Fire Zombie: ...I don't know why, but I feel like I've escaped a disaster.
Continuing down, I found that the house had obviously been searched starting from the eleventh floor - the door was open and the inside was empty.
Sang Luo was holding a novel that he had taken from somewhere, and was flipping through it casually while leaning against the wall.
By now they had reached the sixth floor.
The two young men retreated from the room empty-handed: "Luo Shen, there's nothing in this room either."
Sang Luo closed the novel and lazily announced, "Go home."
Hu and Ning were a little confused.
Just... go back?
The system pinched the Ren Zhong point: "How long have you been out?!"
Sang Luofan was sleepy: "It's been almost three hours, isn't it soon?"
The system took a deep breath. "But the food you found isn't much. There's no meat, no cream, no cheese... Don't you want to eat barbecue hot pot and various desserts?"
Sang Luo's expression changed slightly.
Seeing this, the system continued: "Today is the first day of the new year. It's rare to go out. You are dressed so beautifully. Isn't it a pity not to even leave the building?"
It added more fuel to the fire, earnestly saying, "You should go out into the streets and let those zombies and monsters see your stunning beauty, blinding their titanium eyes!"
Although Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu's "supply collection" unexpectedly came to an end, since Sang Luo said "go home", they naturally had no objection.
"Forget it," Sang Luo suddenly changed his tone, "Let's go look around the streets and see if there's any crazy-eyed octopus. Catch one."
Notice.
The verb she used was "catch."
The first thing that Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu thought of was not the horror of the crazy-eyed octopus, but its deliciousness.
Their eyes lit up immediately.
system:"……"
He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black.
What a good child, what has the host taught him?
As they reached the fifth floor, they heard footsteps outside the staircase door and Ning Ziqiu immediately raised his gun.
Unexpectedly, the door was opened by a pair of small hands.
A little girl of four or five years old appeared. She was wearing a thin single garment, her hair was messy like weeds, her eyes were red, and she was looking at them timidly.
……people? !
Ning Ziqiu quickly put down his gun.
Hu Lingling subconsciously softened her voice: "Little sister, are you alone?"
The little girl's eyes moved and locked onto Sang Luo.
What she said next even made Sang Luo raise his eyebrows.
"Sister, my name is Lin Sike. I can help you catch the Crazy Eyed Octopus. Can you help me wake up my dad?"
Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu saw doubt in each other's eyes.
How did the little girl know that they were going to catch the crazy-eyed octopus?
Sang Luo looked down at Lin Sike and asked, "Did you hear what I said upstairs just now?"
She nodded obediently and touched her ears with her little hands: "I can hear all sounds within ten meters."
This statement is equivalent to indicating that she is a person with super powers.
Ning Ziqiu felt very complicated. Such a young girl also awakened her superpowers!
He went to see Sang Luo with Hu Lingling.
Sang Luo was listening to the system scanning Lin Sike's data.
The system's Long Aotianyin was extremely shocked: "A-level Ice Element! Companion talents [Invisible Man] [Voice Master]."
[Invisible Man]: Can isolate his own breath and become a transparent existence.
【Sound Master】: Listen carefully and all sounds will be heard.
System: "Master, this little girl is actually an A-rank! And she's also an Ice-type. She's incredibly powerful."
Maybe even stronger than you.
I didn't dare say this.
No wonder the little girl was only wearing a single piece of clothing.
It's not that I have nothing to wear.
I'm not afraid of the cold at all, so just one piece of clothing is enough.
Sang Luo looked at the little girl, walked in, and asked casually, "What happened to your father?"
Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
——Sang Luo has agreed to save people.
Lin Sike sniffed and said aggrievedly, "I don't know. I can't wake up Dad no matter what I do."
Sang Luo frowned slightly as if thinking about something.
Lin Sike led the three of them into 501 and went straight to the bedroom.
Her father was lying in bed, with some unpacked medication and a glass of water on the bedside table.
"Dad is sick. I want to give him medicine, but he can't drink it."
The little girl went to the bed and shook the man on the bed, but the latter did not move.
She began to cry, and turned back to look at Sang Luo with expectant eyes:
"Sister, you are very powerful. Can you please wake up Dad and take his medicine?"
"I'm scared if Dad doesn't wake up."
Her childish voice was filled with helplessness and hesitation.
Hu Lingling's eyes turned red instantly.
Ning Ziqiu felt like something was choking his throat.
The two men didn't dare to look at Lin Sike, their eyes fell on the man on the bed.
The other person's face was pale and he was completely dead.
It's clear that he has been dead for a long time!
The system was extremely empathetic and responded in a low voice: "He's been dead for at least three days."
The little girl stayed by her father's body for three days.
She is too young and doesn't understand anything.
Maybe you realize something but don't know what to do.
Today I finally heard someone's voice, so I ran out to ask for help.
Sang Luo glanced at the bed expressionlessly, meeting the little girl's gaze, and said calmly: "Your father is dead, and I can't wake him up."
system:"……"
It screams, "Can't you be more tactful!!!"
Sang Luo: "Will Weiwan's father not die?"
System: "..." Can't you be a little more compassionate?!
Throwing down these words, she turned and walked out of the room.
Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu were both dumbfounded.
Luo Shen is too direct!
The two men were busy trying to comfort the dazed little girl.
But what Sang Luo said is also true...
"But Dad didn't turn into a monster, he didn't die." Lin Sike was bewildered. "Dad said the monsters outside are the dead..."
Hu Lingling didn't know how to explain it.
Ning Ziqiu's eyes were filled with pity. He said slowly, "There are two kinds of dead people. One is the dead who eat people, and the other is like your father... He is asleep forever."
Lin Sike blinked her red eyes and asked naively, "Will Dad wake up?"
Ning Ziqiu said stubbornly, "He won't wake up."
The little girl pursed her lips tightly, wiped away her tears, climbed onto the bed silently, and snuggled her small body into her father's stiff arms.
"You are lying! Dad will wake up!" she shouted almost sharply.
The biting coldness originated from her body and spread out in all directions.
The ground, walls, ceiling, and lamps were covered in ice.
The hot air exhaled by Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu turned into tiny, sharp crystals in the air, and then fiercely pierced them—
The two men were frozen to the point of being unable to move, especially Ning Ziqiu, whose whites of his eyes were already bloodshot.
The special A-level ice ability that mainly focuses on attack, when it erupted uncontrollably, the two of them had no power to resist.
Not to mention that Hu Lingling is only a B-level wood element, even if she is an A-level, she will be completely suppressed.
Both of their minds were numb from the cold.
Hu Lingling felt a little better, she vaguely felt her body moving.
When she was able to think again, she found that she was no longer in that scary and cold bedroom.
She and Ning Ziqiu stood in the living room.
It's teleportation.
Sang Luo used teleportation to take them out of the bedroom.
With a bang.
The bedroom door is closed.
The last thing I saw was a fluttering red skirt disappearing behind the door.
Ning Ziqiu coughed violently, coughing up cold blood from his mouth. Hu Lingling quickly used her special powers to heal his frostbitten lungs.
The healing power of the wood element passed over.
Ning Ziqiu's pale face showed a hint of color, and his breathing became smoother.
"I'm going to help Luo Shen," Hu Lingling put him down, "that little girl has very strong abilities."
Ning Ziqiu held her back and said breathlessly, "...Luo Shen closed the door because she didn't want us to go in and hold her back."
Hu Lingling was worried: "But..."
Ning Ziqiu struggled to get up: "If you go in, she will have to split her attention to take care of you."
Hu Lingling knew that what Ning Ziqiu said made sense.
But I just can't calm down.
Isn’t it the same for Ning Ziqiu?
The bedroom door seemed to separate the inside and outside into two spaces. I could not hear any movement inside, and could only see layers of ice on the bedroom door.
Time seemed to stretch extremely long at this moment.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The door suddenly opened.
There was a touch of burning red in the cold air, and the owner of the red dress walked out coldly and frostily, her steps as light as the breeze.
In her hand, she was holding the unconscious Lin Sike.
The tension between the two teenagers relaxed.
Hu Lingling subconsciously glanced at the time.
It felt like an eternity, but only a minute had passed.
This is Luo Shen, who has dual abilities.
No matter how strong the little girl is, how can she be a match for Luo Shen?
Sang Luo casually placed the small ice cube in his hand on the sofa and said, "Let's go."
Hu Lingling was dumbfounded: "Then...what should she do?"
Sang Luo glanced at her: "Do you want to raise one?"
Hu Lingling carefully considered her tone: "Her father is gone, and she's so young, all alone..."
Ning Ziqiu added seriously: "Luo Shen, although she is young, her abilities are very strong and she is much more useful than me."
Hu Lingling quickly agreed: "It's more useful than me."
The two teenagers have a very clear self-awareness.
The system is also taking a different approach and trying hard to deceive people:
"Host, think about it carefully. A-level ice element, two companion talents. With her, you can train her to take action when you don't want to. Just like raising a little bodyguard!"
Sang Luo: "Are you asking me to support you?"
The system gritted its teeth: "...Yes."
Sang Luo: "Does this count as you owing me a favor?"
system:"???"
Sang Luo: "Don't be nervous. I'm not asking you to pay it back now. Just keep the debt for now."
system:"…………"
If my system crashes, it’s because the host is pissed off!
"Take her with you," Sang Luo said to the two teenagers again, "but make it clear first, she is under your care."
Hu and Ning nodded quickly.
...I don’t dare let you take charge.
More than ten minutes later, a red sports car drove out of the community parking lot, followed by a group of zombies who were running towards it after hearing the noise.
Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu planned last night to go to a large shopping mall a few kilometers away first.
Sang Luo had no objection.
Since Ning Ziqiu's frostbite had not healed, Hu Lingling was driving.
There were too many cars parked in a disorderly manner on the street, and her driving skills were limited. The fast-running zombies had already caught up with the rear window and were trying to get close to Sang Luo through the window.
It hissed desperately.
Sang Luo smiled at it: "Am I beautiful?"
system:"……"
Hu Lingling: “…”
Ning Ziqiu: “…”
Zombie: ???
I don’t know if it’s beautiful or not, but your meat must be delicious.
"Host! There are unidentified creatures approaching!" The system's Long Ao Tianyin suddenly became nervous. "Oh my god! It's a group of strange shadowy demon butterflies!"
This thing likes to eat brain marrow and can grow bigger or smaller.
When it becomes small, it is the size of a thumb, and when it becomes large, it is two meters long.
It often sneaks up on its prey in a smaller form, making it hard to defend against.
If discovered, it will rapidly grow larger and hunt head-on.
The system couldn't figure it out: "Shouldn't they be dormant in winter?"
But now is not the time to talk about this.
"A swarm of ghostly demonic butterflies, even an S-rank can't stop them! Run away!!!"
Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu had never seen this kind of monster before. When they saw a dark cloud flying towards them, even a fool could realize that something was wrong.
"parking."
As soon as Sang Luo's voice came out, Hu Lingling stepped on the brakes without thinking.
"Give me the little girl."
Ning Ziqiu hurriedly handed it to her.
Sang Luo touched Lin Sike's eyebrows with his fingertips, and the little girl woke up slowly.
When she saw Sang Luo, her lips pursed in grievance.
"Cry later."
Sang Luo interrupted her spell.
"Use your ability of [Invisible Man] to isolate our presence. If you can do that, I'll go back and wake your father up."
The little girl understood and did as she was told without saying a word.
Despite the critical situation, the system couldn't help but say, "It's wrong to lie to children."
How can she wake him up when her father is dead?
Sang Luo: "I never lie."
System: “…” Are you blushing?
Sang Luo: "Let's find out about the fake corpse."
The system fell silent.
Little Lin Sike’s ability worked.
A group of strange and demonic butterflies were circling in the air. They had clearly spotted their prey, but in the blink of an eye, the prey disappeared!
Several eerie butterflies landed on the ground, their bodies grew larger, and they tried to find the traces of their prey.
The system breathed a sigh of relief: "Just keep quiet and wait for them to leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, his host immediately started moving—
She! Actually! Teleported! Outside! The! Car!
The hidden breath leaked out in an instant.
The eyes of the strange shadow butterflies in the air and on the ground all turned towards her.
Long Aotianyin screamed: "What are you doing!!!"
The two adults and one child in the car were also stunned by Sang Luo's actions.
Sang Luo stared at the light wings of the Shadow Demon Butterfly glittering in the sunlight.
They are like a layer of soft mist, with glitter on them, and are like a dream.
Or gradient colors?
Her amber eyes looked around, her red lips curved slightly, and she spoke casually:
"Do you know what the consequences are of trespassing on my territory?"
"Since this is your first offense, I will leave you my wings and take you away immediately."
Not provocative enough.
She added leisurely:
"Otherwise, I'll take your lives."
At this moment, the air was eerily quiet.
The zombies not far away stopped howling.
