Chapter 12 Gradual Adaptation
The atmosphere was silent for a while, because most of the people in the family were male, perhaps men were born with a hint of belligerence in their blood, especially now that they obviously have the ability that ordinary people don't have, and they feel that they are about to become the protagonist of the world in an instant, so they are naturally reluctant to shrink at home now.
"Mom! We're all getting old, and it's hard to go out, so how can we stay at home all the time?" Mu Rong's father, Mu Guoxing, also knew that everyone was in the way of their own face, and everyone couldn't directly refute his mother's words, so he said everyone's voices himself.
"Guoxing, your mother is right, isn't it better for a family to be together better than anything else?" Shen Derong naturally didn't miss the bright light that flashed in the eyes of the other two sons-in-law after the second son-in-law's words came out.
"But you can't always let the second sister use the space to collect things, grandma, have you forgotten what the eldest sister and brother-in-law said yesterday?" Guo Ruicai retorted slightly dissatisfied. Yesterday, Bai Wendong, Zheng Xiayan and Mu Rong carefully analyzed one hundred and one reasons for Mu Rong's spatial ability to be exposed, and even said that if the spatial ability was exposed, he would be arrested and imprisoned, which made everyone so frightened that they promised that they would never reveal half a word to the public.
But now that I heard it, I knew that it was one thing to worry about Mu Rong, and these men were mainly making excuses for not being able to go out and be heroes.
Mu Rong finally realized what was wrong with him in the morning, everyone's mentality in the morning was too good, and they didn't have the consciousness of the end of the world at all. It may be because Mu Rong instilled in them the idea of doomsday rumors too early, causing the family to be very well prepared before the apocalypse, and even the aunt's family and the four elders dragged their luggage to take refuge, so they didn't know what the outside world was like now.
In fact, to be honest, in addition to the terrifying scene he saw at school on the first day of the end of the world, Mu Rong hadn't seen zombies for a few days, if he hadn't seen the haggard faces of his parents, neighbors and friends this morning, he wouldn't have felt that there was anything wrong with everyone's disapproval.
But now the women in the family feel that as long as they hide in the house, there will be no danger, on the other hand, the men always feel as if they are invincible and can't wait to kill the zombies and make achievements, but neither of the two extreme attitudes is suitable for survival in the last days.
"Every day, three people with abilities go to take on tasks and bring one without abilities, and the rest of them take care of the house." Mu Rong decided that he must show his family how terrible the outside world was.
Although he had never stabbed a zombie and didn't know what the zombies were capable of now, Mu Rong and his family knew that they couldn't go without touching zombies for the rest of their lives, even if they had been hiding at home. The idea of wanting to stay at home for a while was still too naΓ―ve.
Maybe it was because Mu Rong's fifth-order spiritual ability was too impressive, or because of the favor of the juniors, no one raised any objections.
Everyone discussed it, and tomorrow Mu Rong, Bai Wendong, and Mu Guoxing will take Old Man Mu to pick up the task together, but Old Man Su is envious.
That night, Murong called Zheng Xiayan, Su's mother and two aunts to the room, and told them their views on the current attitude of their family.
"Xiaorong, Xia Yan, do you mean that after being bitten by that monster called zombie, you may also become a zombie?" Su Hui asked in horror, even her voice changed a little, "Then how can you go?!" β
"Auntie, my classmate said that the scientific research institute of the X City base has proven that the ability will not mutate after being bitten, only ordinary people will." Zheng Xiayan can only be glad that the communication equipment is still usable until now, she has a classmate who has a good relationship in the X City base and works in the research institute, and the information she gets is first-hand, so it makes Zheng Xiayan feel that the situation is even more urgent.
"But you still have to take Xiaorong's grandfather out tomorrow, what if you get bitten?"
"Auntie, I'm an ice-based ability, long-range attacks, and I won't have a problem in my opinion." Even if someone is infected, a drop of spiritual spring water or a pack of eight-grade waste can bring people back, Mu Rong complained silently in his heart.
"Huixin, the children have grown up, they should be allowed to break through." Although Su Huilan was reluctant to give up her daughter, her daughter analyzed the situation for them fiercely last night, and let her know that the result of sitting still and waiting for death would not be happy for everyone.
"yes, and didn't Rong say that we'll awaken abilities in the future? When the time comes, only if we are stronger, we will not hold back the children," Su Huiwen also persuaded.
"Auntie, one of my classmates has healing abilities, and she complained to me before that it is getting harder and harder to cure patients bitten by zombies, and I suspect that zombies will become more and more powerful, if we don't train ourselves while it's not difficult to defeat, when they are so strong that they are no longer afraid of the base army, we may have to wait for death." Mu Rong could only deliberately speak more seriously in order to arouse his family's sense of crisis.
Su Huixin naturally understood how dangerous this world was now from their words, "I will talk to Lao Guo and Xiao Rui, and my parents will wait for the eldest sister to persuade me later." β
Mu Rong and Zheng Xiayan gave them another popularization of the weaknesses and some necessary common sense of zombies that they currently learned from the Internet, and then the three sisters of the Su family went separately to warn their husbands and parents about the current base and how difficult most people live in the last days.
This night, everyone thought a lot, and almost everyone had no sleep.
As for Murong? She was picking and picking in the refining room in the space, preparing the weapons for everyone the next day.
The next day, Su Huilan and Su Huiwen made breakfast for everyone with dark circles under their eyes, and the others sat in silence in the dining room.
Finally, it was Old Man Su who broke the silence: "Xiao Rong, you must be careful when you go out, everything must be based on your own safety." "Yesterday, everyone's thoughts were affected to a certain extent, but in the end, it was a family, and even the thinking mode was similar, and they all understood the seriousness of the current situation, so no one objected to going to the exchange to take over the task, but they were still very worried in their hearts.
"Well, by the way, the meal is not good yet, let's pick out their respective equipment." Mu Rong said and waved a lot of various weapons that seemed to be flowing on the table out of thin air, "Those who have awakened abilities are selected from my left hand, those who have not awakened abilities are selected from my right hand, and necklaces, rings, bracelets, and weapons are each selected." β
Everyone looked at the pile of equipment on the table in shock.
"Xiaorong, why do you still have a gun?" Zheng Xiayan's father, Zheng Nan, trembled and pointed to a few guns in the equipment team on the right.
