016:
Apartment 2201
"Luo Shen must have heard our discussion and was worried we might be in danger, so she went to the power station on her own."
Hu Lingling looked out the window with worry in her eyes.
From the very beginning, she and Ning Ziqiu had thought about cutting off power and gas - Sang Luo didn't want to think about it, but they had to.
So although the two of them didn't find any food on their previous trips, they did bring back a few gas cans.
During the two days of power outage, there was a gas tank, so cooking was not a problem.
It’s just that everyone is used to living a comfortable life with electricity and heating, and when there is a sudden power outage, the quality of life drops several levels.
Compared with before, it is inevitable that I feel a little uncomfortable.
But everyone understands that this is the living condition of survivors today, and they must adapt to it.
So, while Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu were cooking in the kitchen, they discussed the situation at the power supply station.
They speculated that the reason there was no power outage was probably because there were survivors at the power station.
Now maybe the survivors have left, or maybe the place has fallen and been occupied by zombie monsters.
Hu Lingling thought about going to take a look at the situation.
She is a B-level mutant, and she should contribute something to this family. She can't just do nothing.
She planned to borrow Sang Luo's new mount "Butterfly Beauty" - the name was chosen by Luo Shen, and everyone applauded when the name came out - she would ride it to the power station for a walk and take the open road, which would greatly reduce the danger.
Butterflies are beautiful and fly fast, so it doesn’t take long for them to fly back and forth.
——It is necessary to overcome the fear of the phantom butterfly and the worry about whether it is willing to let you ride it.
After listening to her thoughts, Ning Ziqiu said that he should do this kind of thing.
Hu Lingling disagreed. He had no special abilities and if he encountered a dangerous emergency, he wouldn't even be able to protect himself.
Ning Ziqiu ultimately failed to win over her.
But before she had the chance to tell Sang Luo, she set off on her Die Meili.
…
Ning Ziqiu disagreed with Hu Lingling's words. He adjusted his glasses and said sincerely:
"I think Luo Shen didn't let us go to the power station together because he wasn't afraid that we would be in danger, but because he didn't want us to hold him back."
——If they go out, they will be a real burden to Luo Shen.
Okay.
My friend is absolutely right.
Hu Lingling actually knew it in her heart.
But one thing is for sure, although I know rationally that Luo Shen is incomparably powerful, I still can't help but worry emotionally.
She sighed and couldn't help but say, "It would be great if I could awaken an offensive ability."
Then I can do more things and don’t have to rely entirely on Luoshen’s protection.
This class monitor has served as class monitor almost every year in school since he started in elementary school. He is used to helping his classmates and being needed by his classmates and teachers.
Now that I am under Sang Luo's care, I have no way to repay him in kind.
In her opinion, cooking and serving Sang Luo was nothing.
Therefore, they will feel that they have gotten a great deal and want to pay more.
Ning Ziqiu comforted his friends:
"Didn't Luoshen say that although wood-type abilities don't help much in terms of personal strength, they are very important in a team."
"To use a game analogy, you are the nurse. No matter how strong a team is, it cannot survive without a nurse."
The pig next to him sighed and nodded in approval.
Except for Sang Luo, no one else could understand his humming and could not communicate.
He didn't dare to disturb Sang Luo.
I can only be a listener, nodding and shaking my head from time to time to have some simple communication.
And do some more things that a wild boar can do—
For example, helping to take care of Lin Sike.
Take a shower every day and keep yourself clean.
Make sure you don't have any bad odors.
During the days he lived in 2201, he finally figured it out.
After the virus broke out, the three-person team led by the boss has been living in the apartment.
They live a life like in a paradise.
It made him wonder if this was a dream.
Look at the kind of life he lives.
He struggled to survive, lost his only family and had no time to grieve, and was then backstabbed by his teammates;
He saved a woman out of kindness, but was backstabbed again and stuffed into a wild boar, almost becoming a meal for his compatriots.
Fortunately, I met a big boss in despair.
In Lin Yitan's eyes, the boss is a model of beauty and kindness.
When the end of the world comes, human nature cannot stand the test.
Many people would kill for a bite of food.
Even if the boss can understand what he says and knows that he is a human being at heart.
But now he is just a pig, a walking food.
If the boss had just killed him, who would have known he was a human?
The fact that the boss didn't touch him and even let him become a member of 2201 shows that he is a good person.
Lin Yitan was also deeply moved by Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu's attitude towards him.
When they learned about his situation, they were shocked by his experience, but they did not despise him and took good care of him.
Lin Yitan originally vowed never to trust anyone else. He felt that after the end of the world, there would be no good people anymore.
But after meeting them, it took him only a few days to understand.
It’s not that there are no good people after the apocalypse, but that I’m just unlucky and haven’t met any good people in the past few months.
…
"Don't underestimate yourself. I don't even have any special abilities." Ning Ziqiu smiled bitterly. "I relied on you and Luoshen for protection the entire time."
Perhaps for others, being protected is a good thing, as they can live without having to face danger.
But Ning Ziqiu knew very well that it was easy to cling to powerful people in the last days.
But only if you are strong enough can you ensure that you can survive.
"Don't count me in. We both rely on Luoshen for protection." Having spent so much time together, Hu Lingling knew what was going on in his heart. "Also, Luoshen said that some people awaken their abilities late. You definitely belong to that type."
Ning Ziqiu nodded and said "hmm" softly.
After listening to the two young men's words, Lin Yi sighed inwardly.
The two never justified themselves into thinking that the big boss should protect them;
When encountering problems, even if they are very dangerous, they will think about doing it themselves instead of asking powerful bosses to do it.
Unlike the team he was backstabbed by.
Because he has the innate talent of [Indestructible Body], they all agree that he should be the one to take action when danger arises.
He never considered that once the time limit passed and he didn't escape, he would never be able to escape again.
The ordinary people in the team who were seeking protection naturally made various requests...
He was stupid then too.
Help those who ask for help, and agree to those who make requests.
Kindness does not bring good rewards.
Unfortunately, the lesson from the first backstab did not make him alert enough.
When he thought of that woman, Lin Yitan couldn't help but feel a raging anger rising in his chest, and Bai Feiyu's tattered body flashed through his mind again.
Two different faces, different genders, yet they gave him the same sense of familiarity.
He felt that the two men might be the same person;
At the same time, he felt that if Bai Feiyu was really that woman, her death would be too easy.
He shook his head to get rid of the conflicting feelings.
Anyway, I am in a safe situation now, and the most urgent thing is to find a way to restore my life.
The boss said that his situation was quite interesting and that he would conduct targeted research, but there was no guarantee of results, so he told him not to get his hopes up.
This sentence was enough for Lin Yitan.
As long as the big guys are interested and willing to research, there is still a glimmer of hope, right?
It was also at this time that he understood why the two young men, Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu, regarded the boss as a god.
She is!
She deserves it!
...That's right, in just a few days, the number of Luoshen's followers successfully expanded by one.
No, we have to include little Lin Sike.
"Sister Lingling, Brother Ziqiu, don't be afraid. I will protect you just like Sister Luoshen did."
The little girl who was drawing obediently on the sofa raised her little face and said seriously.
She is less than five years old and is sensible and obedient.
Through her narration and some of the contents written in Lin's father's notebook, we can know that -
Not long after Lin Sike was born, her parents divorced and she lived with her father Lin.
After the virus broke out, the father and daughter hid in 501.
Later, Lin Sike awakened her special powers. Lin's father thought about taking her to the base, but he didn't dare to do so in the end.
He has not awakened any special powers and is just an ordinary person. It is too dangerous to travel on the road.
He is not afraid of death, but he cannot die.
What would happen to his young daughter if something happened to him?
She has special abilities, but because of her young age she doesn't know how to control them.
She might die at the hands of a zombie monster, or she might be used by others.
He didn't dare to gamble.
I could only hide in 501. When there was no food at home, I went to other floors to search carefully.
At the same time, he tried to help Lin Sike gradually become familiar with the use of his supernatural powers.
During this period, Father Lin taught her a lot.
The father and daughter knew that there was someone living on the rooftop.
——When Sang Luo was shooting each zombie one by one on the rooftop, they heard the noise.
Mr. Lin thought about going upstairs.
Test the other party's character and form a team if it is suitable.
If anything happens to him, there will be someone to take care of his daughter.
But he hesitated due to various concerns.
The family in Room 502 across the street survived. They didn't have much food and water, and initially they frequently borrowed from Mr. Lin.
The two families have a good relationship because they are neighbors.
Mr. Lin borrowed money at first, but later he stopped.
The other party became resentful about this.
Once, after searching downstairs, Mr. Lin took Lin Sike to search upstairs. They actually broke the elevator, making it stop working, and then locked the stair door.
Blocking the father and daughter's way back.
Then they started prying open their door.
…
It was this incident that made Lin's father realize that when disaster strikes, he must not only guard against zombie monsters, but also against his compatriots.
This hesitation caused him to get into trouble.
He "woke up" through the corpse-controlling talisman.
Lin Sike quickly accepted her father who couldn't speak, couldn't blink, couldn't eat... and couldn't do anything.
Maybe for her, as long as her father is "awake", she won't be afraid.
Originally, Sang Luo wanted him to fake his death to appease the little girl and fulfill his promise, but now he planned to let him jump off the building and end it all.
The system was worried that it would stimulate the little girl's superpowers and make them go out of control again, so it kindly advised the host and said: A corpse has many uses, and what if you need it someday? Keep it for emergencies.
So, the fake corpse Lin's father would occasionally walk a few steps every day to let Lin Sike know that his father was still "awake", and the rest of the time he would stand in the corner.
Tell Lin Sike that this is called charging.
The little girl accepted this strange and nonsensical reason without any doubt.
…
Hu Lingling, Ning Ziqiu and Lin Yitan all looked at Lin Sike. The little girl's childish declaration of protection made them feel warm in their hearts.
At this time, there was a "knock knock" sound from the door.
Someone knocks on the door.
"Shen Luo is back so soon." Hu Lingling hurriedly ran towards the gate.
Will Luo Shen knock on the door when she returns home?
Ning Ziqiu subconsciously thought of these words.
But being too lazy to open the door is also Luo Shen's style.
Hu Lingling put her hands on the door handle and pushed it down. For some unknown reason, she glanced through the peephole.
“!!!”
Hu Lingling let go quickly as if she had been scalded.
She turned around a bit confusedly and said to Ning Ziqiu and Zhu Yi, "It's not Luoshen, it's a strange girl."
Ning Ziqiu also leaned over to take a look.
As if she knew they were looking at her, the girl outside the door raised her beautiful and flawless face and smiled at them with curved eyebrows.
At the same time, she spoke softly, her voice as soft as cotton candy:
"Hello, excuse me, I have something at your house. Please open the door and I'll come in to get it."
Hearing this voice that was engraved in his bones and blood, Lin Yitan's pupils shrank sharply and the hairs on his body stood up like steel needles.
dense forest
The system's words made it impossible for Sang Luo to sit down any longer.
She frowned slightly, a hint of coldness spread across her amber pupils. She stood up straight and took two steps to the side.
System: "Don't you want to open it and take a look?"
Sang Luo raised his slender hands: "Are they like the hands of a coffin opener?"
System: "...You've made people faint from sitting on them! At least open the coffin lid and let them breathe."
Sang Luo: "Be careful with your words."
I remembered that before sitting down, I did push the coffin lid, which had a crack, tightly shut.
Sang Luo was silent for two seconds, his eyelashes slightly closed, and he raised his foot and kicked with an expressionless face.
The coffin lid slid down a bit.
A pale face without a trace of blood was revealed.
The man lay there silently, with countless wounds crisscrossing his body. At first glance, there was almost no good place.
But the strange thing was that there was not a trace of blood coming out of these wounds.
The blood seemed to disappear from his body.
The system looked carefully at the face of the person in the coffin.
It just casually scanned the coffin and found a living person inside, without taking a closer look.
A few seconds later, Long Aotianyin screamed excitedly:
"Ah ...
"This person is the ultimate villain of this book, Ji Congwu! Hurry, hurry, save him! From now on, we will go together to kill the hero and heroine!!!"
Oh my god.
I actually met the biggest villain here, and he was in a damaged state!
The system was incredibly excited.
The next second, its excitement came to an abrupt end.
Sang Luo kicked the coffin lid back and closed it tightly again.
Then he asked faintly, "Huh? What did you just say?"
system:"???"
system:"!!!"
system:"……"
Where is the oxygen? Let me take a breath first!
