070:
"Host, there are so many people here. Let's not fight. Your injuries haven't healed yet."
By analyzing the villain's demeanor, the system has reason to believe that the other party probably does not want to conflict with Sang Luo.
It only needs to stabilize its host.
When Sang Luo was the first to look away, the system silently said in its heart: Thank God.
The dark red in Ji Congwu's eyes gradually faded. He half-closed the corners of his slender eyes, then lowered his eyelids, suppressing his murderous intent very well.
Bian Linan naturally had no idea what almost happened in that brief second. The people he brought back personally skipped the security check and entered the city directly.
So when he met Shen Xun who was walking towards him, his attention immediately fell on the girl beside him.
——It’s too conspicuous.
When his eyes swept across the other person's face, Bian Linan felt vaguely familiar.
But the most important thing now is Ji Congwu, the time bomb. No one knows what his purpose is in coming to the base.
During the journey from Haicheng to the base, Ji Congwu had almost no communication with them.
Although he made them submit to him, he did not order them to do anything.
Because of his presence, they only encountered zombies and monsters a few times along the way.
He gave Shen Xun a look that said, "Let's talk about it later."
Shen Xun's gaze quickly swept over Bian Linan and the others, and then his pupils shrank slightly.
Obviously, he didn't intend to "talk about it later" and asked directly in a deep voice: "Where's Sang Tuo?"
Sang Luo's eyelashes moved slightly.
Bian Linan kept an eye on Ji Congwu, and seeing that he showed no signs of being angry, he felt relieved.
Shen Xun's words reminded him of Sang Tuo who died in the crack, and the blood vessels on his temples couldn't help but throb.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Xun is a devilish trainer of the base's military. His superpower is earth-related. He was recently promoted to A-level, becoming the third A-level superpower user in the base.
His mission is to train those with special abilities who have been screened to join the base's military.
Survivors who come to the base can choose to join the military. While receiving base resource allocations, they must also guard the base's security.
If you do not choose to join the military but want to live in the base, you can trade according to the base price to obtain the necessary resources, such as housing, food, etc.
Shen Xun said, "I have a feeling that I must come to the city gate today."
He has a companion talent, a vaguely defined ability that will be triggered suddenly, and a certain thought that he must do something will arise in his heart.
Bian Linan was about to say something when Qin Yu interrupted him: "You are... Sang Luo?!"
Her tone was hesitant, as if she wasn't quite sure.
Bian Linan frowned slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind subconsciously: the name Sang Luo sounds particularly familiar.
Then came Luo Fan's incredulous voice: "Sang Luo! Is it really you???"
He stared at Sang Luo's face, his head buzzing and his thoughts in confusion.
If it wasn't Qin Yu, Luo Fan would never have believed that the charming figure in his sight was Sang Luo.
He didn't recognize it at all at first.
I just feel that it looks very familiar.
He imagined that even if Sang Luo was still alive, he must be living an unhappy life, with a dirty face, pale and thin body.
However, the person on the opposite side was obviously living very well in the doomsday, and had a more indescribable and moving attitude than before the doomsday.
Because the condition was too perfect, he didn't recognize it at first.
In a flash, Bian Linan remembered why he felt the name "Sang Luo" was familiar.
The daughter of the Sang family and the sister that Sang Tuo is looking for is named Sang Luo.
Is it the girl in front of you?
She is actually still alive!
Sang Luo's gaze fell on Luo Fan, and suddenly she smiled softly at him. "You don't seem happy to see me. Are you worried that I will kill you in revenge?"
At that moment, Luo Fan felt an inexplicable shiver as if a poisonous snake were crawling all over his body, and he stammered out, "W-What are you talking about!"
Seeing that Sang Luo didn't even look at her, Qin Yu hesitated to speak, and finally lowered her head in embarrassment.
He also grabbed Luo Fan who was about to argue to prevent him from revealing the news that Sang Tuo was dead.
Seeing this, Bian Linnan seemed to understand why Sang Tuo hated to target Luo Fan, but he did not intend to find out what the entanglement between Sang Luo and Luo Fan was.
He was worried about confirming Sang Luo's identity: "Sang Tuo is your brother?"
Sang Luo asked back: "Do you know him?"
Bian Linan's head hurt even more - his brother risked his life to go out and look for his sister, and now his sister came to the base by herself, and his brother was gone - he really couldn't say this result, at least not now.
He simply said to Shen Xun: "Take her to the Sang family first."
The two men looked at each other. Shen Xun confirmed a certain answer from his gaze. He closed his eyes and said, "Let's go."
Before the end of the world, Shen Xun was a special forces soldier who was discharged due to injury. He opened a gym and Sang Tuo was his customer.
Both of them are taciturn and introverted, but after a few interactions, they became closer.
After the end of the world, Shen Xun awakened the B-level earth-type ability, and combined with his own combat strength, his strength was not inferior to that of A-level.
He was among the first group to arrive at the base, and was naturally given an important position and appointed as the chief instructor.
One day I met Sang Tuo unexpectedly.
Both of them were a little surprised. Later, Sang Tuo asked him how to quickly improve his strength. Shen Xun suggested that he join the military and receive unified training.
Santo refused.
Joining the military will certainly give you resources, but you will also not have freedom.
It was then that Shen Xun realized that Sang Tuo was going out to look for his sister.
But he awakened the wood element, which is the main healing element. If he wants to improve his combat capabilities, he must undergo additional training.
Finally, Shen Xun formulated a harsh training plan for him.
Following this plan, Sangtuo practiced for several months and underwent a complete transformation.
Even without superpowers, in terms of personal combat capability alone, he is much stronger than those with superpowers who have received military training.
Even Shen Xun didn't expect that Sang Tuo would be able to reach this level from an ordinary person with no basic skills in just a few months.
During this period, Sang Tuo showed him a photo of Sang Luo.
Because of his companion talent, Shen Xun came to the city gate and noticed Sang Luo when she appeared.
Although he had seen Sang Luo's photo, he had never seen her in person. There was a big difference between the real person and the photo, so he couldn't be sure that she was Sang Luo.
I just feel that it looks particularly familiar.
Until I saw her personal information when she logged in.
It happened that Bian Linnan came back. Knowing that Sang Tuo was going on a mission with Bian Linnan, he naturally took Sang Luo over immediately.
However, Sangtuo was not among the returning team.
Bian Linan's attitude of avoiding the question already indicates a certain result.
…
Sang Luo turned around and followed Shen Xun.
"Mr. Ji, this way please."
After temporarily dealing with Sang Luo's affairs, Bian Linan immediately turned his focus to Ji Congwu.
Fortunately, he didn't seem angry or impatient.
only……
Bian Linan paused and found that Ji Congwu's gaze was fixed on the receding Sang Luo's back, and the dark fire of hell seemed to be flowing in his dark eyes.
All men.
When a man looks at a woman in this way, the meaning is self-evident.
His heart sank suddenly.
When Ji Congwu's indifferent voice rang directly in his mind coldly, his heart sank to the bottom.
“Who are Sang Luo’s family members?”
"No need to speak, just tell me the answer with your consciousness."
Bian Linan calmed himself down and said, "Mr. Ji, do you know Sang Luo?"
The next second, a sharp pain exploded from his brain, as if a sharp electric drill was drilling into his hard skull.
Bian Linan relied on his strong consciousness to avoid showing any expression of pain, but his face turned pale in an instant.
Ji Congwu's cold voice sounded sinisterly: "I have a short patience. When I ask questions, you just need to answer."
Passing through the gate, Sang Luo entered the world behind the wall.
The interior of this former military base has obviously undergone extensive renovations in the past few months. After entering the city, there is a large open space with various types of vehicles parked there.
——Just like those tricycles and motorcycles that gathered outside the station before the end of the world to solicit customers.
"For those new to the base, look here! A guide to base life. It comes with a pack of biscuits and a book. It's guaranteed to help you get to know the base quickly."
"Where are you going? My car is cheap. I can buy thirty first-level crystal cores within five kilometers. Any type is fine."
"Hey man, your clothes are almost rotten. Now that we're at the base and safe, it's time to change. This T-shirt is cheap, take it for ten level one crystal cores."
…
The "old" people in these bases can distinguish those coming in from outside, those who are entering the city for the first time and those who are returning to the city.
——Everyone has their own car when returning to the city.
Their target is those who have just entered the city.
After Lin Xiangzhi's team of six entered the city, they waited nearby. When they saw Sang Luo, they walked over.
Lin Xiangzhi took two steps forward, his expression slightly changed, and then he stopped his teammates, turned around and got into the car: "Let's go."
Xiao Liu was puzzled: "Captain, Luo Shen is still over there, let's pick her up."
"She just asked us to leave." Lin Xiangzhi said.
Xiaoliu still hadn't reacted: "When did she say that?"
Lin Xiangzhi tapped his temples with his finger.
Li Baichuan sighed and tapped Xiaoliu on the head, "Sixth Son, when Luo Shen arrived at the base, Instructor Shen personally received her and took her to see Commander-in-Chief Bian."
——Everyone saw it.
"Do you still think Luo Shen will continue to stay in our team?"
Xiaoliu opened his mouth and finally dropped his shoulders weakly.
When Guan Yue got in the car, she carefully moved her gaze back and saw the dazzling red ball getting into Shen Xun's car.
After getting into Shen Xun's car, he gave Sang Luo a guide to life in the base.
For those who are new to the base, this book can actually be very useful. It records the current divisions of the base, currency exchange, material transactions, etc.
Shen Xun was driving while glancing at the girl out of the corner of his eye.
She casually flipped through the base life guide, seemingly showing no interest.
The fingers holding the guide were white and delicate, without any calluses.
Every inch of her exposed skin, her silky hair, her exquisite and beautiful clothes... all of them arrogantly declared:
Even in the cruel apocalypse, she still seems to be living a superior life before the apocalypse.
Siliang was not affected by the end of the world.
But she is only a B-level Wood type, just like her brother.
Can such strength allow you to live a superior life?
Or is there something else going on?
Thinking of the several ability testers that exploded in succession, Shen Xun frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
After a moment, he suddenly said, "I know your brother. He risked his life to go to City C to find you."
The girl hummed softly.
For Shen Xun, it felt perfunctory.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. The other party's indifference made him look displeased, and his tone became much harder:
"Aren't you worried at all? I remember your brother said that you two have a very good relationship."
When he thought of the result of Sangtuo revealed by Bian Linan, the dark light in Shen Xun's eyes became more and more intense.
In fact, Sang Tuo did not mention Sang Luo very often, but from Sang Tuo's tone, Shen Xun concluded that the brother and sister had a good relationship.
According to Sang Tuo's brief descriptions, Shen Xun's impression of Sang Luo was that he was well-behaved, smart, and sensible.
Now he suspected that everything was just a filter that Santuo used to filter his sister.
Sang Luo's reaction had nothing to do with being well-behaved and sensible.
Instead, related words such as cold and indifferent emerged one after another.
"Why should I worry?" Sang Luo raised his eyes slightly, as if the aurora passed through his amber pupils. "I have met him before."
The car body trembled slightly.
Shen Xun minimized his mistakes and the vehicle continued to move in a balanced manner. He paused and said, "You have met before? What about him?"
Sang Luo said calmly, "I was injured and am recovering in City C. The purpose of my coming to the base is to take...my parents to City C."
Shen Xun didn't hear the pause in her words, he reacted: "City C has a safe base?"
Sang Luo: “Yeah.”
Shen Xun was silent.
After all, this is the Sang family's decision.
And Sangtuo is still alive.
But why does Bian Linan think Sang Tuo is dead?
They got separated? And then Sangtuo met Sangtuo?
After a while, Shen Xun said, "The journey from the base to City C is long and fraught with danger. With your B-rank Wood-type strength, it's already a difficult task to reach the base safely. Your uncle and aunt are in poor health and haven't awakened their special abilities... I suggest you stay at the base and wait for your brother to recover before bringing him back. Then you and your family can be reunited."
Sang Luo looked out the window and replied nonchalantly, "You're right."
Shen Xun glanced at the other person's delicate and beautiful profile, and suspected that the other person was not listening to him at all.
The car became quiet.
After a while, Shen Xun hesitated to speak—Yu Guangzhong, who had been looking at the environment outside the window, had now closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
Shen Xun's brows slowly tightened.
I have been separated from my parents for more than half a year after the apocalypse, and now we are finally going to meet.
As the beloved youngest daughter of her parents, she never asked about her parents' situation along the way, nor did she show any joy or happiness about seeing her family.
Is it too cold and quiet?
The Sang family lived in a house allocated by the military. It was on the first floor and was like an apartment, about 30 square meters.
At the end of the first floor is a public restroom, with electricity and water supply on schedule every day.
The water in public toilets is not drinkable and can only be used for washing.
Drinking water needs to be purchased from a special water room.
Mother Sang took on the job of washing clothes. Summer clothes were thin, and she would get one first-level crystal core for every ten pieces of clothes.
She would knock on every door and ask every day, and many people were willing to do so because it was cheap, after all.
Some will even kindly exchange it for food.
Father Sang took on the cleaning job, earning ten first-level crystal cores a day.
Sang Tuo forbade them to take any work and asked them to stay in the house.
The two old people agreed obediently on the surface, and waited for Sangtuo to go out before they secretly answered the phone.
They don't want to be a burden to their children.
Sang Tuo spent a lot of time practicing every day, and the rest of the time was spent obtaining crystal cores. He never noticed the behavior of the two old men.
It was not until he left the base to find Sang Luo that the two old men took out the twenty third-level wood crystal cores they had saved up with great difficulty and exchanged for them.
Today, the two old men are still doing the same work as before.
At noon, Mr. Sang would come home for dinner.
Each dormitory building has a centrally-fed canteen.
Mother Sang would spend four first-level crystal cores to make two bowls of mung bean porridge, and one first-level crystal core would buy a plate of pickles.
This is the lunch for the two old people.
The two old men sat opposite each other at the table. The room was hot, so they opened the door to ventilate it - the same was done for the other rooms.
Living next door to them in Room 103 are the four members of the Zhu family. Their son and daughter-in-law both have special abilities. The son joined the military, so the whole family moved into Room 103 for free.
My daughter-in-law is a D-level water system and works at the Water Bureau - as the name suggests, she goes to the Water Bureau every day to use her special ability to release water for storage.
Wages are calculated in kilograms.
Normally, they would sell meat privately to other people in the dormitory, so the Zhu family had a good income and could eat meat almost every meal.
Old Mrs. Zhu’s favorite thing to do is to take her ten-year-old grandson Zhu Wenhao for a stroll around and show off how successful her son and daughter-in-law are.
After returning from the cafeteria after a full meal, Zhu Wenhao was holding a fresh apple in his hand.
A fresh apple contains three secondary crystal cores. Old Mrs. Zhu was willing to buy them for her grandson, but she naturally couldn't bear to spend them on herself.
But seeing his grandson chewing the food with such relish, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
She had no choice but to divert her attention. She happened to pass by the wide-open 102 and walked in with a swagger. She glanced at the table and said:
"Hey, Sister Wen, why are you eating mung bean porridge and pickles again? It's hot, and eating this can help relieve the heat, but you can't eat it every day. Look at this bland soup, it's not enough to satisfy your hunger."
Previously, Zhu Wenhao knocked Sang's mother down in the yard. Not only did he not apologize, he also smiled and did not take it seriously at all.
Old Mrs. Zhu said briefly that the child was young and it wasn't intentional, so Mother Sang didn't know what to say.
But there was a big bruise on her waist, which was because the soil on the ground was wet.
After Sang Tuo returned home and found out, he strode into 103 and, amidst the screams of Old Lady Zhu, dragged Zhu Wenhao to Sang's mother and asked him to apologize.
Zhu Wenhao burst into tears. Just then, his son and daughter-in-law came back. Old Mrs. Zhu cried and said that Sangtuo bullied them.
The son and daughter-in-law probably also know what kind of personality Old Mrs. Zhu Wenhao has.
However, Sangtuo's direct and tough approach to the child scared the child greatly, and they were also a little unhappy.
Although Zhu Wenhao apologized in the end, the relationship between the two families became awkward.
It's okay that her son and daughter-in-law are busy with work, but Old Mrs. Zhu took the opportunity to be sarcastic.
Neither Mama Sang nor Papa Sang said anything.
The best way to deal with people like Old Lady Zhu is to ignore them.
"Grandma, it's obvious that they can't afford anything else and can only eat mung bean porridge." Zhu Wenhao said with a look of disgust, his two little eyes rolling around.
"Grandpa Sang, Grandma Sang, you haven't had apples in a long time, right? I'll treat you to some apples."
After saying this, he threw the almost-eaten apple core onto the pickles.
The two old men's expressions froze.
Old Mrs. Zhu was originally worried about the apple core. Even if her grandson didn't eat it, she could eat it.
But when she caught a glimpse of the expressions on Mr. and Mrs. Sang's faces, she felt refreshed.
Tsk, I heard that the Sang family used to be a wealthy and prestigious family, very rich.
Now he can only drink porridge and eat pickles.
"Haohao, how can you give the apple core to Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang? It's impolite." Old Mrs. Zhu patted Zhu Wenhao in a pretentious manner.
Zhu Wenhao said with a smile: "An apple core is also an apple."
Father Sang calmly put the apple core aside.
He picked up the pickles that were stained by the apple core and put them into his own bowl, and gave the remaining clean ones to Mother Sang.
He gave Mother Sang a reassuring smile.
Mother Sang lowered her head, her eyes red.
Neither of them spoke.
This made Old Mrs. Zhu feel like she was performing a one-man show, and Mr. Sang's actions towards Mrs. Sang further irritated Old Mrs. Zhu.
Her deceased old man had never been so gentle to her. He either beat her or scolded her.
After decades of living a lowly life, he finally died of cancer.
After finally living a comfortable life for a few days, the end of the world suddenly came.
Although my life is much better now than that of others, it is still not as good as before the end of the world.
Old Mrs. Zhu's face darkened.
"Sister Wen and Brother Sang, your Sang Tuo and Commander Bian have been out on a mission for a month and haven't returned yet. Aren't you worried?" She sighed and said, "My son is patrolling the edge of the base. I'm so worried, afraid he'll get into danger."
Her eyes flashed with malice: "I'm speaking frankly, please don't mind. There are so many monsters and zombies outside. You have to be prepared for Sang not to come back. Think about it carefully..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by mung bean porridge thrown in his face.
Mother Sang's entire body was shaking as she clutched the empty porcelain bowl. Even though she was nearly losing her mind due to anger, she still maintained the most basic etiquette: "Get out!"
Before Mrs. Zhu could react, Zhu Wenhao took the initiative to attack.
"How dare you splash water on my grandma! I'll beat you to death!!" His strong body rushed towards Mother Sang like a calf.
If this collision happened, given the position of Sang's mother, she would hit the chair hard first and then fall heavily to the ground;
Given her physical condition, such an impact was enough to cause her a fatal blow.
Father Sang's face changed drastically and he stood up to stop him, but it was too late.
Next second.
Zhu Wenhao's forward body was stopped by an invisible force, and then bounced back like a spring. His body flew backwards out of the goal like a football and fell outside with a bang.
The sudden change left Mr. and Mrs. Sang stunned. Old Mrs. Zhu screamed "Haohao" and ran to Zhu Wenhao as fast as lightning.
Zhu Wenhao began to cry loudly: "Grandma, it hurts! It hurts!"
"My dear grandson, tell grandma where it hurts." Old Mrs. Zhu checked in a panic.
Zhu Wenhao cried even louder: "It hurts everywhere."
People at home nearby rushed out to watch.
"What's going on?"
"It's this little fat guy again."
"I seemed to see him flying out?"
…
Mr. Sang and Mrs. Sang also hurried out the door.
At the same time, a military vehicle drove into the yard, and the whispers around quieted down, leaving only the dry howling of the Zhu family's grandparents and grandchildren.
The car door opened and Shen Xun got out.
Mr. and Mrs. Sang knew him, and their faces turned pale the moment they saw him.
Mother Sang asked in a trembling voice, "Instructor Shen, is there any news about Xiao Tuo?"
"Sir! Sir!" Old Mrs. Zhu cried and screamed, "My son is in the city defense team, he shed blood and sweat for the people. His son, my grandson, is only ten years old, and they beat him like this. Sir, you have to make a decision for us two!"
Old Lady Zhu's voice shocked Shen Xun so much that he frowned. The next second -
Two emerald green vines suddenly appeared and wrapped around the legs of Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Wenhao respectively. The vines meandered higher and hung them upside down amid the screams of the old man and the young boy.
A gentle voice slowly rang out, "You're crying like this before you even get beaten. Wouldn't it be unfair to your nice voices if you don't leave some marks?"
The vines grew into countless small and tough vines, which lashed at Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Wenhao's faces.
Snap once on the left, twice on the right, then snap both sides together.
The sense of rhythm came suddenly~
The canes were densely packed, and once Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Wenhao opened their mouths to howl loudly, the canes would be pulled back without hesitation.
Too fast.
Shen Xun hadn't reacted yet, and when he did, the whole yard was filled with crisp snapping sounds.
he:"……"
what happened? ? ?
The red one, as dazzling as the sun, got off the car slowly.
Facing the two elderly people's shaky gazes, Sang Luo's eyes curved into beautiful crescents, and his voice was sweet:
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
Mother Sang took two steps forward and was about to fall, but was lifted back by a gentle force.
Of course, she didn't know.
By the time she stood firm, a familiar figure was approaching.
"Lolo?" Mother Sang grabbed Sang Luo with her dry hands helplessly, tears falling from her eyes, as if she was afraid that she was dreaming.
Sang Luo closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the cold mist in her amber pupils dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, her eyes slowly turned red.
As the system stared in astonishment, the corners of her long, curly eyes were wet with tears, like butterfly wings wet with mist.
"Mom, it's me."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Mother Sang finally confirmed that this was her precious daughter.
"Hurry, let your father take a good look." She quickly calmed down and smiled as she pushed her baby daughter to Father Sang who was looking at her eagerly.
"dad."
Father Sang blinked, then lowered his head and wiped it quickly.
He looked at Sang Luo for a long time before speaking with a distressed look: "You've lost weight."
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Daddy will buy it for you." Father Sang said to Mother Sang, "Axue, take Luo Luo home."
As he said this, he rushed to the cafeteria.
"I'm not hungry." Sang Luo stopped the old man and said with a smile, "Deal with these two first."
Only then did the two old people notice that Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Wenhao were hung up and beaten.
Both of their faces were swollen.
They realized that their precious daughter also had special abilities, and they were wood-related abilities like their son's.
Thinking that Mrs. Zhu's son had a fire-type ability as his main attack, Mother Sang quickly said, "Lolo, put them down."
Although the two old men do not have special powers, they have a deep understanding of them.
Fire naturally controls wood, and wood is the main element for healing. If the situation gets out of hand, my precious daughter will suffer.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The cane was retracted, and the Zhu family's grandfather and grandson fell to the ground. Their swollen faces made it impossible for them to open their mouths and scream in pain.
Old Mrs. Zhu could only stare at Sang Luo with hatred in her eyes, which were filled with anger and resentment.
Sang Luo walked over and looked down at them.
The sunlight passed over the end of the eyebrows and fell on the long, curled eyelashes, casting a beautifully shaped light shadow.
"Congratulations, my parents let you go."
"But..." The girl's red lips curved slightly, "I don't plan to let you go."
She turned around and looked at Shen Xun.
Shen Xun's eyelids jumped when he heard her say something in the sweetest and gentlest voice that sent chills down his spine:
"Instructor Shen, there's no rule in the base that prohibits killing people, right?"
