Chapter 8: The Eighth Day of Salted Fish



008:

Over the next two days, we received multiple reports of Luo Fan's injuries indirectly provided by others.

The total accumulated system points are as high as five hundred.

And these "others" are Sang Luo's parents and elder brother.

From this, it can be seen that the male and female protagonists should have moved to the first safe base in the north at this stage.

Sang Luo's family found him.

I found out that he was not with Sang Luo, but with another woman.

So I greeted him warmly and friendly.

This also explains why Sang Luo did not do anything to Luo Fan, but still received the other party's injury value.

The system kept chattering, trying to make the host change his mind: With such a good family, why don’t you go to the base?

Sang Luo ignored it all.

Three days later, it was the tenth day of the virus outbreak.

The ominous dark plot appeared again without warning.

Gray dust rose in the air again and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

What followed was——

Humans began to awaken various supernatural powers.

All zombies have evolved to level two, and some, like humans, have awakened special abilities.

at the same time.

The first batch of monsters were born.

They are secretive and have diverse abilities, making them more difficult to deal with than zombies.

Later, this day was called the Apocalypse.

The cruel doomsday has thus begun.

After the dark curtain fell, Hu Lingling not only awakened the B-level wood ability, but also awakened the accompanying talent:

[Dancer on the Tip of the Tongue]: No matter what ingredients they are, they will become delicacies in your hands.

system:"……"

This companion talent is specially awakened for the host!

These past few days, it watched Hu Lingling racking her brains to prepare the ingredients to the standard of a top restaurant in order to satisfy Sang Luo's stomach.

Getting a smile from her is like receiving a gift.

It's too unbearable to watch!

but……

Hu Lingling was able to awaken her B-level superpower thanks to the host.

In Sang Luo's words, the crystal core is a good thing, but no matter how clean it is washed, it is still dug out from the zombie's brain.

Absorb it? How disgusting.

Then she took a knife and carved a spirit-gathering talisman in the corner of the house.

At the first moment, I almost suffered a backlash.

Fortunately, after it was completed, it continuously attracted the abnormal energy around it.

Sang Luo continued carving with the energy that gathered.

She carved a total of nine spirit-gathering talismans upstairs and downstairs.

It’s so luxurious!

When Hu Lingling awakened, the wood element in the gathered energy rushed into her body crazily, assisting her and allowing her level to reach B in one fell swoop when she awakened.

Seeing Hu Lingling excitedly getting familiar with her special abilities every day, Ning Ziqiu, who had not awakened and was still an ordinary person, was full of envy.

Hu Lingling comforted him, saying that maybe he would wake up soon.

Ning Ziqiu knew very well that he was now the weakest among the three of them.

He works out hard every day to gain an advantage in physical strength.

The effect is obvious.

Hu Lingling would inject supernatural powers when cooking, and combined with her companion talent, Ning Ziqiu's physical condition was greatly improved.

She didn't know the level of her own abilities and subconsciously thought that her abilities were definitely not as good as Sang Luo's.

——The two already knew that Sang Luo had awakened his water-based abilities.

When they cautiously suggested that they should find some water, Sang Luo applied a water mask to each of them.

After applying the cream, they touched the soft and hydrated face and were pleasantly surprised to understand:

No need to look for water.

Hu Lingling, who has special powers and accompanying talents, cooks delicious food for Sang Luo in different ways every day.

With the same ingredients, she can make dozens of different flavors and styles.

She also planted the fruit cores she had eaten into various potted plants in her home to encourage them to sprout. She used her special powers to water them every day, and they grew well within a few days.

Unfortunately, there are no vegetable seeds.

There was no more room for the potted plants, so Hu Lingling looked at them and made a plan.

She excitedly said to Sang Luo, who was doing yoga and watching TV, "Sang Luo, I want to transplant them to the rooftop."

There is no signal though.

But there was a video recorder and countless types of discs at home.

One of Sang Luo’s daily entertainments is watching TV.

"Go ahead."

She maintained her crunch position without looking back.

Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu carried the potted fruit trees to the roof.

——There is a staircase directly leading to the roof behind the kitchen.

After finishing a set of movements, Sang Luo, who was very tired and wanted to be quiet, touched his belly which had shrunk and felt quite satisfied.

In just half a month, thanks to the unremitting efforts of craftsman Hu Lingling.

She successfully gained three pounds.

The system thought that this had little to do with Hu Lingling.

You go to bed at 8pm every day, wake up at 8am the next day, and have breakfast;

Then we went to the game room to play games and had lunch at 11:30;

Take a nap at 12:30 and sleep until 3:00 in the afternoon;

Get up, watch a movie, dinner, go to bed.

Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, almost two-thirds of the day is spent sleeping.

I only gained three pounds, which is already a blessing from God, okay?

The system thinks that if Sang Luo were a fish, he would definitely be a lazy salted fish in the late stage.

This isn't about surviving in the apocalypse, it's clearly about retirement!

Sang Luo corrected it: "It's a mermaid."

system:"……"

She got up and prepared to go upstairs to wash and change her clothes.

Bang--!

The door leading to the rooftop on the stairs behind the kitchen suddenly made a loud noise, as if it was blown shut by a strong wind.

Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu, who were busy with the transplant, were startled. They turned around and saw the door closed. Hu Lingling said casually, "It's quite windy today."

Ning Ziqiu looked at her with a serious expression and said slowly: "Do you feel the wind?"

Hu Lingling was stunned.

Then I realized that there was no wind in the hot air.

So--

How did you close the door with such force?

Sang Luo couldn't have scared them on purpose.

The sweat on Hu Lingling's back suddenly turned cold, and her throbbing nerves felt tense as if being pricked by needles.

...something terrible has happened.

Ning Ziqiu's intuition was very sharp, and warnings popped up in his mind frantically. He gripped the shovel in his hand tightly: "It seems...something is watching us."

He saw Hu Lingling looking behind him and his face suddenly changed.

The next second, he rolled to the side suddenly.

An ice-blue tentacle hit the place where Ning Ziqiu had just squatted, and the ground cracked into a spider web-sized crack with a hole in the middle.

Ning Ziqiu looked horrified.

If he had been a second slower, he would have been hit on the head.

At that time, it was not the ground that was broken.

The space in the field of vision was obviously distorted, and then the full picture of the monster appeared.

Hu Lingling's eyes widened and she let out a frightened gasp from her throat.

The monster resembles a giant octopus.

There were eight thick and long tentacles under the head, one of which was wrapped around the door handle, and the rest were scattered in the air.

A mouth was cracked in the middle of its head, and a human body was vaguely visible inside.

And there are multiple eyes on each side of its head!

These eyes were staring at Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu sinisterly, revealing not cruelty but mockery.

It was enjoying the frightened looks of Hu and Ning.

Hu Lingling's hands and feet were cold. The impact brought by the giant tentacle monster was much more terrifying than that of a zombie.

"run!"

When a tentacle came towards her, she desperately activated her special powers, and the branches of the fruit tree grew wildly and moved over to hold the tentacle.

But Ning Ziqiu had already been caught by the tentacles and lifted into the air, his face turning purple.

Huh?

The monster felt unhappy when it saw that one of its tentacle not only missed but was also entangled by the branches and was almost broken.

Dare to resist?

Then, it rolled the remaining six towards Hu Lingling.

The Wood element is mainly used for healing, and is not an attacking ability.

Hu Lingling had no combat experience, and after she barely managed to block one, she looked at the remaining five in despair.

Where did the monster come from?

Will it be invisible?

I haven't reminded Sang Luo yet...

These thoughts flashed through my mind one by one.

My waist and neck tightened, my breath was taken away, and my consciousness fell into chaos.

The tightly closed door suddenly opened.

At that moment, Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu vaguely saw——

Sang Luo appeared with his whole body shining and his own background music!

She was holding a speaker in her hand, which emitted a high-pitched Long Aotian voice, and the voice was singing heartbreakingly:

"Ahhhhhh I'm your dad~~~Ah ...

Hu and Ning were startled, and their wandering souls were pulled back by the unearthly singing.

Both of them looked painful.

It's so awful!!!

Then they were surprised to find that not only they felt uncomfortable listening to it, but the tentacle monster felt even more uncomfortable.

It was seen twitching from its head to its tentacles, and the tentacles that were wrapped around them were loosened.

The two men fell to the ground, looking at each other and coughing desperately.

A moment ago.

The moment the door was closed.

"I scanned it! It's the Crazy-Eyed Octopus!" The system was shocked. "Those two unlucky kids are doomed."

The Crazy-Eyed Octopus was one of the first monsters to be created.

It has stealth capabilities and strong regenerative abilities;

It can drive anyone who sees its eyes crazy and kill each other - it especially likes to use this trick when there are many people around, because it will not be very effective when there are few people.

This creature is also highly intelligent and likes to play with its prey cruelly, often torturing it to death before eating it.

Its only weakness: fear of mental attacks.

Sang Luo took down the speakers: "You go ahead."

system:"???"

Sang Luo: "Use your voice to your advantage. If you can't, then watch us die together."

system:"……"

Then she just took the speakers and left.

The system was in a mess, and he was forced to connect his own data to the speakers and create a moving divine song.

As the sound of the devil's chaotic music became louder and louder, and there was no end to it, the Crazy-Eyed Octopus could no longer hold on.

The eyes on its "face" were darting around, and its tentacles were twitching and wrapping around its head, as if trying to "cover" its ears, and its aqua-blue body appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Sang Luo: "Close your eyes."

Hu Lingling and Ning Ziqiu closed their eyes reflexively.

No one saw the eyes on the mad-eyed octopus's "face" suddenly turn blood red.

It activated the "Frenzy" skill - people would not be affected by this skill as long as they didn't look into its eyes.

In fact, as soon as Sang Luo arrived at the rooftop, he took a look at the crazy-eyed octopus and was so uglier than it that he closed his eyes.

She stood there without moving.

The slender and beautiful fingers seemed to be composing notes of nothingness——

The Crazy-Eyed Octopus then let out a shrill scream, and its blood-red eyes squeezed and exploded!

Then the next one.

Another one.

In just a few breaths, all its eyes exploded.

You should know that no matter what species' eyes are, there are definitely water molecules inside.

As long as it exists, there is room for manipulation.

The crazy-eyed octopus's regenerative ability allows its eyes to begin to recover.

However, just as it recovered, it exploded again.

Recovery, snap.

Recovery, snap.

Pa pa pa pa pa.

The Crazy Eyed Octopus is going crazy: Are you fucking crushing the popping beads?!

It was frightened after suffering a double blow both physically and mentally.

It's going to escape!

Its entire body disappeared, and its tentacles shot out like crazy.

Can was unaware that the blood bursting out of its eyes lingered, exposing its figure. A layer of blood floated and moved in the air, and in a blink of an eye it reached the edge of the rooftop.

Seeing this, Long Aotian's voice in the speakers strangely rose another degree, and changed to an even more devilish tune:

"That fat octopus~~yo yo yo~~If you dare to run, you're a coward~Turtle~Turtle~~That's right~I'm talking about you~~"

Crazy-Eyed Octopus:!!!

The next second, the floating blood-colored aura rushed towards the speaker in Sang Luo's hand.

Before escaping, it will not be satisfied unless it smashes this thing to pieces.

Sang Luo raised his eyebrows.

She threw the speaker directly over.

The Crazy-Eyed Octopus opened its mouth on top of its head without saying a word and swallowed the speaker in quite cooperatively.

Before it could be happy, the speakers exploded.

Most of the brain tissue was scattered.

Sang Luo, who was well prepared, condensed a layer of mist to block in front of him.

The stealth function failed, and the wounded Crazy-Eyed Octopus lay on the ground dying.

It's not dead yet, but it's been injured so badly that its regeneration ability is extremely slow.

Sang Luo stared at it thoughtfully.

The system, which was too absorbed in singing, felt a little weak at this moment: "You don't want to take it as a mount, do you?"

Sang Luo: "It's too ugly." He was extremely disgusted.

system:"……"

In other words, if it weren't so ugly, would you really want to buy it?

Sang Luo asked Ning Ziqiu to cut off one of the Crazy Eye Octopus's tentacles and said to it kindly, "If you grow another tentacle, I will let you go."

Is there such a good thing?

The Crazy-Eyed Octopus stopped recovering from its other injuries. It held its breath and tremblingly grew tentacles that were ten centimeters in diameter and about one meter in length.

This is the current limit.

Sang Luo cut off the freshly baked tentacle with his own hands and asked the system to scan it to see if it was poisonous.

System: “No.”

Sang Luo handed it to Hu Lingling with satisfaction: "I haven't eaten seafood for a long time, let's stew it tonight."

“…”

After he finished speaking, the rooftop fell into deathly silence.

Crazy-Eyed Octopus: ???

Ning Ziqiu held up his crooked glasses and pointed at the Crazy-Eyed Octopus: "Then... what about it?"

Sang Luo said calmly: "Kill him."

After a pause, he added calmly, "Chop the body into pieces and throw it around. Tell other monsters that this is the fate of trespassers."

Crazy-Eyed Octopus: ????? ?????

grass!

Are you still a human being?!

You promised to let me go!!!
