Chapter 41 Huddled Households
saw Xu Luo's calm appearance.
Everyone had an idea with Wang Youxing, this villa must have something to do with him, at least he had been here, otherwise it would be impossible to be so familiar with the layout here.
Who would have thought that the chessboard on this large coffee table would actually play this role.
No one could have thought of it except for the person concerned.
As if knowing what everyone was thinking, Xu Luo shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said flatly: "Unfortunately, the furnishings here are exactly the same as grandpa's living room, so ......"
"I really haven't been here."
Everyone was skeptical and turned their eyes to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "I have been staying in East China, I haven't been to the mansion in the southwest, and I don't know what the lord's living room looks like." β
It seems that no matter how much you explain it, everyone won't believe it.
Xu Luo could only accept everyone's suspicion of him, in fact, he himself wondered, why was the layout here exactly the same as his grandfather's living room?
And the exact news he got was that this villa was not the property of the Xu family.
Absolutely true.
"Okay, let's divide the work, drive the car to the garage, the garage door has been opened, and then unload all the things on the car, put it wherever it should be, there are many rooms here."
No longer wasting time, Xu Luo immediately made arrangements.
Parking, unloading, allocating rooms, and of course, preparing a dinner.
From the outbreak of zombies to the present, although it has only been less than twenty-four hours, everyone's nerves have never been relaxed.
Even an iron man can't bear it.
Now that there was such a place that seemed quite safe, everyone felt extremely tired, and immediately followed Xu Luo's instructions and went their own way.
Xu Luo took advantage of the busy time of everyone to walk through the entire villa.
Aside from the lobby, there are no more strange rooms in this villa, just that you can't tell which one is the master room and which one is the guest room.
No matter how big or small, every bedroom is exactly the same.
Same bed, same dΓ©cor, simple but with excellent materials.
Xu Luo's heart suddenly had a strange feeling, this villa was more like a hotel.
Following the passage to the roof, he came to the top floor of the villa, and looked through the window to the whole of the Emerald Villa.
It's getting dark.
The entire Emerald Villa was pitch black, and there was not a single light on, and it seemed that no one existed in the other villas except the villa they were staying in now.
However, Xu Luo definitely wouldn't think so.
There must be someone here, and he can't be wrong with his feelings.
Half an hour later, when Xu Luo returned to the hall again, everyone was already busy.
"Xu Luo, it's time to eat, dinner is ready, everyone is waiting for you."
Xia Yujia should have been freshened up, although she was still wearing that set of clothes, but the smell from her hair was no longer the rancid smell of zombies.
Xu Luo nodded and followed Xia Yujia to the dining room.
On the long table, everyone is already in place, and the dishes on the table are not rich, but the aroma is attractive. I don't know where to find the red wine, and the smell of red wine wafts in the aroma of the food, which makes people's spirits relax at once.
The seat of the master was vacant, and it was evident that the crowd had reserved it for him.
Xu Luo was not polite, sat on the host seat in the middle, raised the wine glass in front of him and said: "I didn't expect the dishes I took from the hypermarket, all of them were burned today, it seems that everyone can only eat white rice in the future, for us to have white rice every day in the future, cheers." β
Everyone easily raised their glasses and drank them all.
Everyone understood the meaning of Xu Luo's words. I am afraid that this is the only time to have such a rich dinner party, and the food will only become less and less, even if you go out every day to find food, it will not be like today.
Haicheng's supply of fish, meat and vegetables originally relied on supplies from other provinces and cities.
The current situation is even more unsourced.
In the future, they will have to rely on other food to survive.
Although the atmosphere at the table was relaxed, in the face of Xu Luo, everyone spoke extra carefully, not fearful, just respectful.
Xu Luo's identity as the leader has been fully recognized by everyone.
Just halfway through eating, suddenly the doorbell rang and someone came.
Everyone looked at Xu Luo.
Xu Luo stood up and said, "I'll take a look." β
He picked up the long knife that was resting beside him and walked towards the gate.
Everyone didn't have the heart to continue eating, they put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the long knife, and followed Xu Luo to the gate, they also wanted to see who came to knock on the door at this time.
It was a middle-aged man who rang the doorbell, but there were thirty or forty people gathered outside the door.
These people seemed to appear out of nowhere, and everyone's expressions were extremely nervous, and their eyes were full of vigilance.
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face.
"Hello, are you the owner of this house?"
Although he had a smile on his face and an extremely polite tone, Xu Luo could see a trace of guard in his eyes.
It was a kind of defense against strangers suddenly intruding into their territory.
Xu Luo didn't answer his question, just glanced the middle-aged man up and down, and then shifted his gaze to the crowd gathered in front of the villa.
There was no light, and the crowd of more than thirty people in the darkness was silent, but there was a look in their eyes that did not welcome them.
The middle-aged man was also looking at Xu Luo, but when his eyes noticed the long knife in Xu Luo's hand, his eyelids inadvertently jumped.
"Don't get me wrong, we're just looking out for everyone's safety."
The middle-aged man immediately said with a smile.
Xu Luo still didn't speak, and once again returned his gaze to the middle-aged man, and his eyes became sharp.
The middle-aged man could clearly feel Xu Luo's hostility, and immediately cleared his throat and said: "I am the first batch of residents of Emerald Mountain Villa, and I basically know all the people here, but I have never seen the owner of this villa, and I was told just now that you have lived here, so I will take a look." β
He glanced at Xia Yujia and the others who appeared behind Xu Luo, and said with a dry smile: "After all, this is an extraordinary time, and everyone is a little worried. β
"We're not zombies, what don't you worry about!"
Wang Youxing suddenly glared and said.
"Little brother, don't get me wrong, look, shouldn't we go in and talk." The middle-aged man still said with a smile on his face, without the slightest look of anger.
"No need."
Xu Luo said lightly.
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, he was confident that there was nothing offensive in his words, and as a courtesy, it seemed that these people should not be so blunt.
"Lao Kang, talk nonsense with them, if you don't follow the rules, you will kick them out."
Someone in the crowd suddenly lowered his voice and said, and immediately received an echo from everyone, and the atmosphere immediately became a little tense.
Everyone was slightly surprised, this situation was completely unexpected.
This does not look like an upscale residential complex at all.
More like a huddled village.
