Chapter 22: Twenty-two Days of Salted Fish



022:

The apartment is brightly lit

Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu sat on the sofa on each side, while Lin Yitan lay on the ground.

The three of them waited silently for Sang Luo's triumphant return.

The only sound that could be heard in the silence was the sound of the central air conditioning.

Hu Lingling clasped her hands together, moving her fingertips nervously.

She looked around from time to time, hoping for a familiar figure to appear. If not, she would look away with a hint of disappointment.

Ning Ziqiu's face was still pale, and his injured ribs did not heal completely so quickly.

But he did not rest in the room, but insisted on waiting in the living room.

Lin Yitan's wild boar body is much tougher than a human's. After being treated by Hu Lingling, it has recovered.

Ever since he learned that the boss had awakened lightning abilities, he knew that Bai Lu would never be a match for the boss.

So he wasn't worried at all.

However, he felt very complicated because he could not kill his enemies with his own hands.

In fact, I am already luckier than many people.

Lin Yitan was very sure that there were more than one or two people like him who fell into Bai Lu's hands, and they probably couldn't escape Bai Lu's clutches.

He felt that when Bai Lu turned him into a pig, he didn't see her when he woke up. If he hadn't run away cleverly, he would have been kept as food by her.

As he was thinking this, he heard Hu Lingling's surprised voice: "Luo Shen!"

Lin Yitan quickly looked up and saw that the boss had returned.

She also brought back three animals.

With just one glance, Lin Yitan knew that they were the same as him.

Right now.

In Lin Yitan's eyes, Sang Luo seemed to be shrouded in holy light, like a god descending from the sky.

Very good.

Others like him were rescued.

Lin Yitan was so excited that he burst into tears.

He felt that the terrible experiences he had in the first few months of the apocalypse had exhausted all his bad luck, and that it was only at the last moment that he met the big boss and was reborn.

Sang Luo: “…”

He glanced at the pig on the ground and sighed.

Given the all-encompassing praise he showered upon her, she didn't immediately go back upstairs to sleep.

Instead, she threw out four plastic mannequins that she had picked up from a clothing store on her way back and asked them to choose one each.

Four of the original bodies are gone.

If they want to choose a suitable new body, they have to find it themselves.

Before this, plastic models were their best option.

Zhang Jingqiu and the gray-haired rabbit Su Meng couldn't wait to choose one each. The former chose short hair and the latter chose long hair.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and watched the two plastic models slowly "come to life".

The humanity in the eyes of the skinny monkey and the gray rabbit disappeared, and they became real animals.

Apart from being unable to speak and having slightly stiff movements, Zhang Jingqiu and Su Meng felt very good.

Although they were plastic eyes, they seemed to be glistening with tears.

Zhou Yufei looked at the remaining two models.

The big guy really took it at random, and the remaining two were little girls.

He silently chose a little model with two pigtails and a bob haircut.

Lin Yitan glanced at the room where Lin Sike slept, and carefully told Sang Luo his thoughts:

"Luo Shen, can I use Father Lin's body? He and I both have the last name Lin. I will take care of Sisi for him in the future. I am Sisi's father."

Sang Luo fulfilled Lin Yitan's wish.

The system was a little proud. It had previously suggested that the host keep Father Lin's body in case it could be used in the future... and now it was used.

Lin Yitan woke up in Lin's father's body.

He checked himself excitedly. Although his superpowers were gone, he lived as a human again.

Then he found that the boss had returned the [Indestructible Body] to him.

Lin sighed: "!!!"

He cried with joy and didn't know how to express his gratitude to the boss.

Finally, he made up his mind: "Luo Shen, you can take this talent."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the boss showed disgust in his eyes and eyebrows.

Lin sighed: "..."

Okay, sir, I take that back.

He thought his [Vajra Indestructible Body] was pretty good.

But when the boss heard that he was going to dedicate it to her, he felt nothing but disgust.

He was overthinking it.

The boss simply looked down upon his talent.

Similarly, Hu Lingling and Lin Sike's companion talents also returned.

The squad leader's eyes narrowed into a line of smiles, and he quickly said, "Luo Shen, I can continue to make delicious food for you."

With "Dancing on the Tip of the Tongue", she regained her status as a top chef.

"Eh?" She said in a surprised tone, stunned, "Luo Shen, I seem to have gained a [Symbiosis with Wood]."

[Symbiosis with Wood]: Want to take root in the ground like flowers and trees, welcoming the sunlight and performing photosynthesis? (Must be used with Wood-type abilities)

Hu Lingling stretched out her hand, and her right hand actually turned into a vine.

She was stunned.

Subconsciously looked at Sang Luo.

Sang Luo was watching the vines her hands transformed into swaying flexibly.

The system heard her thoughts——

Hu Lingling's hands can turn into vines, making it easier and quicker to curl and style her hair in the future.

system:"……"

Sang Luo thought for a moment, then threw another [Lin Daiyu Pulling Out a Weeping Willow] to Hu Lingling: With it, even someone as delicate as Lin Daiyu can still pull out a tree with her bare hands.

In fact, it is to improve the strength of the arms.

system:"……"

Lingling, don't be so moved that your eyes are filled with tears.

Your Luoshen gave you this ability just to make you more comfortable in the kitchen and cook delicious food for her!

Sang Luo yawned and casually nodded at Ning Ziqiu, who was looking at everyone with a smile.

He immediately took the little gray rabbit, which looked even cuter after losing its humanity, back to the bedroom on the second floor, tucked himself into the quilt, and placed the little rabbit against his neck, warning and threatening: "Behave yourself."

system:"……"

The little gray rabbit lay down with its ears drooping, and lay still obediently.

Sang Luo put on the eye mask and fell asleep contentedly.

The people downstairs continued to immerse themselves in their own joy.

Ning Ziqiu took off his glasses, his expression dazed. After a moment, he said in a trembling voice, "Lotus Goddess gave me three companion talents."

He is so observant that he can even see the flapping wings of a mosquito within ten meters.

The diopter in both of his eyes is over a thousand degrees, and without glasses he is essentially blind.

Now you don't need glasses anymore.

——His glasses were broken, and he was worried about how to buy a new pair.

A [passerby], whose effect is similar to Lin Sike's [invisible man].

But it only applies to oneself, unlike the [Invisible Man] who can "disappear" from other people's sight with others.

A [Fighting Expert], this ability allows him to possess the will and basic qualities of a fighter.

For example, if he holds a knife in his hand, his body will know how to use the knife to knock down the enemy before his brain.

For Ning Ziqiu, who has no special abilities, the three accompanying talents have increased his combat power from about zero tenths to three.

It also means that you have a certain ability to protect yourself.

The happiest person was little Lin Sike.

After waking up, I found that not only had the talent that had been taken away been returned, but my father could also speak and his body was no longer cold.

The little girl held her father tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, her father would stop talking again after a while.

Lin Yitan woke up in Lin's father's body. Perhaps due to his physical condition, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He asked her distressedly, "What's your father's name?"

The little girl answered crisply: "Lin Qingzhou."

So, Lin Yitan decided that he would be Lin Qingzhou from now on.

The trio of plastic models cannot speak, but they can communicate through writing.

They saw that Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu were Sang Luo's "confidants" and took the initiative to briefly explain their respective situations.

The three of them planned to go out and look for a suitable corpse right now.

They now have plastic bodies, so zombies and monsters definitely won't be interested in them. Instead, they are very safe when walking outside.

Zhang Jingqiu wrote on a piece of paper: "The thing we have the most of right now is corpses."

There was a moment of silence.

Hu Lingling had not experienced what they had experienced.

I can't understand their urgency to become human again, but I can understand it very well.

She suggested:

"Although you have shed your animal bodies, you must have suffered some mental damage. Replenish your energy first, and then go out and look for it. There is no need to rush."

Zhang Jingqiu writes: "One burst of energy, the second is weaker, the third is exhausted."

Subconsciously, she insisted on looking for it now.

Su Meng and Zhou Yufei were a little hesitant at first, but when they heard her say that, they immediately put aside their hesitation.

Hu Lingling stopped trying to persuade him: "Then be careful."

Lin Qingzhou knew that he was luckier than the three of them, and he directly used Lin's father's body. He was afraid of irritating the three of them, so he didn't talk to them much.

He just silently gave each of them a knife.

Three plastic mannequins walked out of the apartment.

The sky was getting brighter, and the hazy morning light dispelled the boundless darkness and the despair that had lingered in their hearts for a long time.

The three plastic men took a deep breath, breathing in the fresh and free air.

For the first time, I felt that there was hope for the future.

Silently thinking about her deceased husband and son, Zhang Jingqiu wrote on a piece of paper: "I have an idea. We are not looking for corpses, we are looking for zombies."

Su Meng was a little slow to react, but Zhou Yufei quickly asked on the paper: "Why?"

Zhang Jingqiu: "We had to rely on Luoshen to save us. We have new bodies, but we have lost our special powers. How can we protect ourselves with just our companion talents?"

"If we're in a zombie body, in the eyes of monsters and zombies, we're their accomplices, but we can still retain our own consciousness. To be honest, I find monsters and zombies cuter than humans."

"Zombies will level up, which means we can continue to practice and level up. If we find zombies with special abilities, we can continue to use our special abilities."

"This is my opinion, you decide for yourself."

Zhou Yufei was a rich second generation before the end of the world.

Unlike other rich second-generations, his family members are very strict with him and never allow him to do anything wrong.

He is considered a clear stream and an outlier in the circle of rich second-generations.

When disaster struck, his family members died one after another.

He originally planned to end it by committing suicide, but luckily he awakened the B-level wind element.

Unfortunately, fate did not favor him.

He was caught by Bai Feiyu.

——The three of them didn’t know that the Bai family was actually the same person.

Because his parents are strict, he actually doesn't have much of his own opinion.

Looking at the words Zhang Jingqiu wrote on the paper, Zhou Yufei thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made sense.

He wrote on the paper: "I agree."

It’s just a zombie, he has even been a dog.

Su Meng had even less objection.

She is very timid and actually didn't want to live for a long time, especially after her boyfriend died to protect her.

Now that she has been rescued, no matter how hard or difficult it is, she has to try her best to live and take care of her boyfriend's life as well.

The three plastic men stared into the distance with determined eyes.

Sang Luo slept until 3:30 in the afternoon.

Before I opened my eyes, I felt an itch on my neck, so I grabbed something and threw it away.

The gray-haired little rabbit, who had been sitting still, got angry and said, "Chirp!"

Sang Luo reacted quickly and cushioned it with a ball of water before it fell to its death.

It was frightened and huddled into a corner, shivering and curled up into a ball of fur, with only a small piece of its round rabbit tail exposed.

After Su Meng left this body, the sounds it made were so loud that even translation software could not translate what it was saying.

System explanation: When their consciousness leaves, their bodies naturally only have some animal instinctive reactions left.

So Sang Luo asked it to be quiet, and it really didn't move.

It wasn't because it understood, nor was it because of Sang Luo's intimidation.

I simply don't understand anything and just feel comfortable staying there.

At this moment, stimulated, the body instinctively reacts as if it were frightened.

"What kind of rabbit is this if you are so timid?"

system:"……"

This sentence full of complaints left it speechless.

Sang Luo propped up his pillow, leaned forward lazily, and called out to the squad leader.

After a while, Hu Lingling came up with a plate.

There were two cups on it, one filled with warm water and the other with warm milk.

A stack of crystal flower cakes, two chewy and soft snow meringues, and three egg roll pastries.

All are freshly made.

"Luo Shen, you should eat something first. I thought you would be up late, so if I cooked the meal early, it would be cold by the time you get up, and it wouldn't taste the same if I reheated it. So I haven't finished yet, but it will be all done in half an hour at most."

Hu Lingling happily announced the names of the dishes:

Seafood risotto, sour lemon chicken feet, braised chicken wings, four-season beef, cream mushroom soup.

Sang Luo glanced at her.

The monitor saw admiration in her eyes, blushed, and subconsciously straightened his chest.

Sang Luo drank milk and waved his hands.

Hu Lingling received the order: This tells her to do it quickly.

Sang Luo didn't plan to finish all of this "breakfast", but he ate it all without realizing it.

“…”

She glanced down at her abdomen.

Well, flat.

system:"……"

Don't breathe if you can.

She got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Then she put on a facial mask, picked up the gray rabbit, and went downstairs.

The air was filled with the rich aroma of food.

"Sister Luoshen."

The little girl ran over happily, but didn't dare hug her thighs under Sang Luo's gaze. Then she held up the painting in her hand and showed off in a baby voice:

"Dad is teaching me how to draw."

Sang Luo glanced lazily and said, "It's really good. It looks like it was chewed by a dog."

As soon as the words fell, a very appropriate "woof woof" was heard.

The black-haired puppy was wagging its tail desperately and trying to please Sang Luo from a distance of one meter - but it also didn't dare to come closer.

Lin Sike obviously misunderstood Sang Luo's meaning. She looked at the painting and turned back to Lin Qingzhou for confirmation:

"Dad, has Xiao Hei ever chewed my painting?"

"……right."

Lin Qingzhou naturally didn't dare to pick a fight with the boss, so he quickly assigned Lin Sike a task to draw.

Then he leaned over to support the boss's elbow, as if he were a eunuch serving Empress Dowager Cixi.

system:"……"

"Luo Shen, Zhang Jingqiu and the others have gone out to find new bodies." He explained that the three plastic men were not there.

"We've cleaned up Xiao Hei and the little monkey. Do you want to keep them, or...?"

Sang Luo walked to the kitchen and said casually, "Let's keep it."

Lin Qingzhou: "Okay."

In the kitchen, Hu Lingling was the chef and Ning Ziqiu was helping her.

The two were so busy that they didn't notice someone coming to the door.

Queen Sang Luo stood at the door like she had arrived. Lin Qingzhou vaguely heard her say thoughtfully, "The kitchen seems a little small."

he:?

Is this still small?

The kitchen in his previous home was not even one-third the size of this one.

The mask was almost done, Sang Luo threw the gray rabbit to Lin Qingzhou, washed off the mask and finished skin care, and Hu Lingling had finished.

As usual, after eating and drinking, Sang Luo slowly walked to the sofa.

Little Lin Sike didn't need any reminders. She automatically quit the cartoon on the DVD player and picked up a disc. She didn't recognize the words on it and ran to Sang Luo. "Sister Luoshen, do you want to watch this?"

After getting a nod in response, the little girl ran back to change the disc.

system:"……"

So skilled that it makes people feel distressed.

After watching for a while, Sang Luo realized that she had already seen this movie.

The child then changed it for her with another one.

Watched it again.

System: "How many pictures do you look at every day? It's been so long, even if there are too many, it won't last."

Sang Luo: "Download some playbacks from your database."

system:"……"

Sang Luo: "If it's not in stock, I'll complain to you."

system:"…………"

At this moment, the power suddenly went out.

The electricity that Representative Sang Luo injected into the meter box has run out.

She had no choice but to get up and inject again.

This is a technical job.

It cannot be too much. The current should be concentrated and stored in the electrical box, and then transmitted to various electrical appliances in the home little by little.

If there are too many, the circuits will burn out and no energy will be saved.

By then she would have to hold the wires and transmit at all times.

The TV turned back on.

The system was searching for movies in the inventory and streaming them to the TV while complaining madly in the work log.

Then, it reminded its unfortunate host: "Do you feel like you've forgotten something?"

Sang Luo: “Hmm?”

System Melancholy: "Do you still remember the villain who is soaking in the coffin deep in the jungle?"

Sang Luo: "Dead?"

System: “…” You sound very happy.

After a few seconds of frantic activity, the system said in a gentle voice, "I don't know how he's doing now. Since you have nothing to do, why not go check him out?"

Its host turns a deaf ear.

My thoughts are only on the movie.

system:"……"

Senior, I am really desperate.

The special effects of the film selected by the system are obviously far superior to those in the world of this book.

The other people sat down quietly, staring intently at the screen with wide eyes.

The protagonist in the film lives by the lake.

The lake water is clear, reflecting the endless blue sky. Not far away stands a magnificent castle, which has everything and nearly a thousand servants.

Sang Luo looked expressionlessly to the left and then to the right. Including the little one, there were only four of them.

The cat in the protagonist's arms in the film is noble and elegant, so beautiful that it seems fake.

She was petting a gray rabbit in her arms.

The protagonist in the film sleeps on a ten-meter bed.

She sleeps two meters.

The 2,000-square-meter castle where the protagonist lives in the film.

She lives in a small apartment of 200 square meters.

The other few's eyes became brighter and brighter as they watched, and they became very excited.

The more Sang Luo looked, the more indifferent his expression became.

Before the film ended, Sang Luo suddenly stood up.

The few people who were watching intently were startled: "Goddess Luo?"

The next second, Sang Luo disappeared.

Several people:! ?

"What happened to Luoshen?"

Hu Lingling ran upstairs quickly, but there was no one on the second floor.

"Luo Shen is out." She said affirmatively.

Several people looked at each other in confusion.

The system looked at Sang Luo in confusion as he teleported again and again.

In this process, it watched her develop another way to use the space system: space teleportation.

It is an upgraded version of teleportation.

As long as she marks one of the points, she can teleport there directly next time.

The limit is 10,000 meters.

Finally, Sang Luo arrived at the upper reaches of the famous Qingyang Lake in City C.

This was a scenic spot before.

Now zombies and monsters can be seen everywhere.

After sending down a few thunderbolts to drive away the zombies and monsters, Sang Luo marked a large, flat and wide grassland and left.

The system has forgotten the villain in the coffin and is extremely curious about the host's behavior - she is not staying at home, but running around outside and spending her energy chasing away zombies.

He was so diligent that he seemed like a completely different person.

"What...are you going to do?" It felt a little bit uneasy.

Sang Luo replied: "The apartment is too small."

system:"?"

Sang Luo: "It doesn't suit my noble temperament."

system:"??"

During the conversation, Sang Luo came to one of the villa areas in City C.

The appearance of each villa here is beautiful enough and pleasing to the eye.

Sang Luo turned around, his expression showing a hint of satisfaction.

She picked one at random and used her space-cutting ability to dig the villa's foundation out of the soil.

system:"!!!"

system:"???"

System: "You..."

It was speechless as it stared in amazement at the huge villa disappearing into thin air.

It was taken into the space by Sang Luo.

A conspicuous large hole was left on the ground.

——After the space system is upgraded to Class A, the built-in storage space has increased to one thousand square meters.

“…”

The system is stagnant.

It thought it was over.

However, this is just the beginning.

Its host skillfully pried open the second building, and the third...

When the space couldn't hold it anymore, she teleported to the patch of grass she had marked earlier.

After placing the villas in rows one by one, he returned to continue the installation.

system:"…………"

Some villas are inhabited by zombies, and some monsters also make their nests in them.

I was staying there peacefully when the house suddenly started shaking violently.

Before he could come to his senses in the confusion, his body was kicked out by a huge force.

In particular, there lived in a villa a fire-type mutant zombie that had evolved to level three and reached its peak.

It was playing with the fireballs it spit out.

The house shook without warning, and he lost his grip. The fireball flew over his head and burned all his hair.

The third-level zombie raised his hand to touch his head blankly.

When it touched a smooth end, it opened its mouth and let out a piercing scream of anger—

However, as soon as the scream came out of its throat, it felt something was wrong.

Why is my head flying???

A second later, its head spun and flew out the window.

The third-level zombie reacted.

Shit! I was fucking killed.

Kill it, kill it, but take its head off and kick it like a ball?!

This is too much bullying!

This is too much bullying!!!

As its head rolled, it seemed to see a devil smiling at it.

This third-level zombie ended his miserable life in extreme anger.

The zombies and monsters here were alarmed, and the survivors in Villa No. 51 over there were also alarmed.

They heard the roars of the zombies outside getting louder and louder, and their hearts trembled.

I'm afraid I'll meet other survivors, so I'm so excited.

The psychic in charge of the inspection rubbed his eyes, then opened his mouth wide with a look of astonishment:

"Fuck! Captain! Someone is digging up the villa!!!"

Others: “…”

"What's the big deal? He just wants to escape into the villa." Someone rolled his eyes.

"No!" he yelled. "When I say dig, I mean dig the entire villa out from under the ground and pack it up and take it away!!!"

Everyone: ???

A man in white clothes said seriously, "Okay, Watermelon, don't joke around at a time like this."

Watermelon: "I didn't! I..."

The words haven't been finished yet.

The villa they were in suddenly shook violently, as if it were the scene of a major earthquake.

Caught off guard, someone fell to the ground.

"What's going on!"

Xigua screamed outside: "Someone! There is someone here!!"

Then, a brief syllable passed through everyone's ears in a trance: "Oh."

The earthquake ended instantly.

Xigua wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The man in white clothes was near another window, and he subconsciously glanced out the window—

The building adjacent to their villa disappeared in an instant, and the view became wider in an instant.

“…”

pupil tremor.jpg

After a moment, everyone rushed to the window in shock and looked out:

There was nothing in front, behind, left and right.

In this villa area, the only one left was the one where they lived.

Then, the frightened zombies and monsters surrounded the villa like a tide.
