Chapter 41: Quietly Changing
"Enough, enough." Feeling that Li Wei had calmed down, Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're doing a great job, let's go back!"
He originally just wanted Li Wei to be able to attack monsters, determination and courage were the first lessons he prepared for her, and it would be good to teach her skills at the end, but the situation greatly exceeded his expectations, and Li Ru didn't dare to let her try too exciting actions at once, but it seemed that this time it was still too reluctant for her, even if they went through so much together, she was still a weak girl both inside and outside after all.
……
Back at the residence, Li Wei locked herself in the room, Li Ru had no choice, he didn't know how to deal with the current situation, and he didn't see her come out to eat for dinner, Li Ru could only go back to the room by himself and lie down, but how to sleep when this happened, it was destined to be a sleepless night.
……
"Ahh
"Morning!" Li Wei greeted Li Ru as usual, which made him even more uncomfortable.
Were you okay yesterday? Yesterday, he did something too much to her, he couldn't have pretended not to have sent anything, even if the two of them didn't talk about it again, it would become a knot, so it was better to say it earlier.
"Don't worry, I should have been stronger! I won't let you worry about it in the future. Li Wei seemed to get up early to make breakfast and wait for him, and she didn't mean to evade his questions, but responded very calmly, not at all like something was wrong.
She said that Li Ru was even more worried, she should have thought a lot of things last night, from the temperament, Li Ru felt the change in Li Wei, the change of a person's mentality may be in a thought, Li Ru can't say the complicated feeling that Li Wei in front of him gives him now, but one thing is for sure is that from her eyes, Li Ru did see that he was strong, and in today's environment, there is nothing wrong with being strong, Li Ru comforted himself like this in his heart, as for whether it is really good or not, then only God knows.
According to the plan today, Li Ru continued to search the remaining unexplored areas of the town, and Li Wei also planned to follow, Li Ru wanted to refuse, but there was really no excuse for her, so she could only agree to go with her.
The nearby areas have been cleaned by Li Ru, and the rest of the areas are relatively remote places, and now that there is no means of transportation, you still have to spend some time on the way back and forth.
After yesterday's incident, Li Ru felt a little uncomfortable in front of her, and he was not very talkative, but he talked less, and he didn't talk much along the way, and the two who should have been close seemed to be separated.
"It's been a lot around me lately." Li Wei, who was following behind Li Ru, suddenly broke the silence and said.
"Huh? Where has changed? Li Wei's endless sigh made him scratch his head, but finally he had something to say, and he also wanted to continue with the words, what changes around him were nothing more than Li Wei and himself, so he found a topic at random, Li Ru felt a little embarrassed to chat, but now the atmosphere of the two, it is good to have an awkward chat.
"Look around." Li Wei walked to the side of the street and squatted, pointed to the ground and said.
Li Ru looked at her fingers, there didn't seem to be anything special on the ground, if she had to say it, there were only a few scattered plants, which looked like they had only sprouted for a long time, green and verdant, although Li Ru couldn't recognize what the seedlings were, but he didn't think there was anything strange.
"You look around, I noticed it the other day."
Li Ru looked around, except for some decadent shops around, he didn't find anything abnormal, he looked at Li Wei with some doubts, trying to figure out her so-called changes.
"Don't you think there are more flowers and plants around?"
After her reminder, Li Ru took a closer look, along the way, there was green light on both sides, and when he looked carefully, he found that there were some unfamiliar flowers and plants growing all over the roadside, although they were all inconspicuous flowers and plants, but all the way to it, it was a bit of a feeling of spring, but now it seems to be autumn, and it will soon be winter, these flowers and plants seem to be a little abnormal.
But so what? Abnormality is something abnormal, but so what? Li Wei didn't say anything wrong, and Li Ru didn't think it was a big deal, it was just a boring discovery, and Li Ru didn't know how to continue this awkward conversation.
It happened that Li Ru saw a few beautiful flowers at his feet, so he picked a few and prepared to coax her.
"Well, I'll give you a few flowers." Girls should like flowers, Li Ru tried to use the flowers in his hand to close the distance.
"Get out!" There was no sincerity, * naked perfunctory, Li Wei glanced at the flower in Li Ru's hand and turned her head away, and a word popped out of her mouth to show her attitude.
Li Ru was quite thick-skinned, so he threw away the flowers in his hand and hurried to catch up with Li Wei in front.
……
Fortunately, Li Ru needed to lead the way in the search area, Li Wei finally chose to follow Li Ru, she was actually not angry with him for a long time, he was really boring, obviously he had intimate contact with him twice, but he was still polite and respectful in the end, she originally fantasized about being able to have a man to take care of and pamper something, at least nothing to offer hospitality or something, he was good, don't do unnecessary things, don't say unnecessary words, she hates itchy.
Of course, Li Ru didn't know the little Jiujiu in Li Wei's heart, and he couldn't guess the woman's heart, and he didn't bother to guess blindly, so he thought that after a while, she would be fine, and it seemed that she had really gotten rid of yesterday's events, knowing this, Li Ru had nothing to worry about.
Li Ru and Li Wei collected supplies together very rarely, most of the time in the past, for her safety, he asked her to do some chores in the safety zone, this rare cooperation, Li Wei also did a good job, maybe it was the tacit understanding that the two inadvertently formed after getting along for a long time.
The efficiency of the two people is very high, and soon they will return with a full load, in fact, Li Ru is quite worried about encountering the remaining monsters on the way to collect, so should she try it or come by herself? It was really a headache, but fortunately there was no abnormal situation in the end, and Li Ru was also greatly relieved.
Almost occupying the resources of the entire town, Li Ru felt that the supplies were unprecedentedly sufficient, at least the basic food, clothing, housing and transportation did not have to worry, what he wanted more now was a few useful maps, and the days of worry-free food and clothing could not dispel his desire to leave.
……
It seems that it has come to the rainy season, and now the specific months and days, he has long been unknown, and he has never cared, but the rain is always annoying, especially in the past few days, it is always raining, he and Li Wei can only stay in the house, Li Wei did not alienate him, but pestered him to learn a trick and a half self-defense, you must know that she has not been with him for so long has not had this meaning, and now she took the initiative to ask, Li Ru does not know whether to be relieved or what to do, it is a good thing, although his study in the army is only half a bucket of water, But it's still okay to teach her a girl who doesn't know anything, Li Ru taught her simple grappling and fighting skills, most of which were taught to him by Qiao Feng at that time, and he handed them to her as they were, in fact, he didn't understand or didn't master many things, but Li Wei learned quite a spirit of drawing inferences from one another, some Li Ru who didn't know how to ask was stunned, and Li Ru, who was swaying in half a bucket of water, couldn't pull down his face and said that he didn't understand, so he could only send her away with a serious set of "can only be understood but not spoken".
Li Wei seems to be unexpectedly very talented in grappling and fighting, in just two weeks, she seems to have understood many things that Li Ru doesn't understand, Li Ru's only can understand but not speak, but she just said, I didn't expect her to really understand, Li Ru is not jealous of this, but wants to ask for advice, but just can't pull down his face.
The rain has been falling intermittently for more than two weeks, and the town has accumulated a lot of water, Li Wei is still sleeping, and Li Ru himself got up early to go out.
Li Ru changed into a pair of plastic slippers and went out, there were potholes outside after the rain, and the shoes were too lazy to cool off when they were wet, right?
Li Ru stared at the strange plants that were already waist-high along the way, a little ghostly, during this time he did find that the surrounding plants grew a little faster, originally the size of bean sprouts, and it was almost below his knees in a few days, but now it is good, it is almost over the waist, this is not so exaggerated to play auxin, Li Ru estimates that this has nothing to do with the virus that caused the current situation, but think about it, what can he do about this situation? I just hope it's not a bad thing.
Li Ru walked around the town for a week, in addition to the overly vigorous vegetation, which almost engulfed the town, and the surrounding wilderness also became a green jungle, the earth-shaking changes during this time made him a little overwhelmed, Li Ru thought about how to explain to Li Wei who was still in the bed when he went back.
The previous monster rampant gave him the feeling of a catastrophe, and this abnormal situation gave him a bad premonition before the apocalypse, originally thought that the virus was only effective for people, and now it seems that plants are not immune, so what about other animals? I don't seem to have seen any abnormal animals and plants before, but now that the plants on the ground have suddenly become like this, will the other animals too... Li Ru didn't dare to think about it anymore.
……
"That's a mouse, right?" On the way back, Li Ru seemed to see some kind of black weirdness from a distance, judging from the long whip-like tail, it should be a mouse, but the big one was like a wolf dog, so he was a little unsure.
He watched from a distance, not daring to approach rashly, now there are more and more strange things, Li Ru is no longer strange, and soon the big black mouse disappeared from his field of vision.
Judging from the recent signs, even if he doesn't want to believe it, Li Ru has a premonition that the world seems to be getting worse and worse, and he doesn't know what to do, but it's time to be mentally prepared and plan for the future.
