Chapter 6: Sleepless Nights
Luo Hou's "home" is located in the east of the settlement, and this area is a mess of low, dilapidated buildings, mostly brick and stone tiled houses, and some thatched houses made of wood, which look very dilapidated.
There is no doubt that this is the slum of the settlement, and Luo Hou's "home" is in it, a thatched stone house that only provides shelter from the wind and rain. The furnishings in the room were extremely basic, a wooden bed, a tattered table, and nothing more.
At this time, it was getting late, and the residents of the slum lit oil lamps one after another, and sat in twos and threes on the open space outside the house. In the year since the advent of the new world, almost all technological items can no longer be used, the power has been cut off, and mobile phones have become furnishings early.
In the entire settlement, except for the office building of the Governance Council and the house of President Cheng Qiyi, who each has a diesel motor, the rest of the houses rely on oil lamps for lighting at night. Even the lamp oil is not kerosene or anything like that, but pine resin collected by the survivors from the pine forest.
With the advent of the new world, not only humans and animals have undergone tremendous changes, but also plants in the wild. Under the influence of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force, all the wild plants grew like crazy, and the forest was full of towering giant trees with a diameter of several meters and a height of tens of meters. Some of the woods that were originally old forests have grown into primeval forests.
And the pine tree, which is already rich in oil, has a more obvious variation in this regard. As long as a layer of bark is scraped off the tree with a knife, a cloud of resin the size of an adult's fist can flow out in less than a quarter of an hour, and a little refinement is the best lamp oil.
Seeing Luo Hou return, the residents of the slum greeted him one after another, but it was only after he walked by that most of them showed a mocking smile on the corner of their mouths. Luo Hou also knew this, but he could let them go. Among these people, there are many first-order evolutionaries, but due to their lazy nature, they only know how to eat and wait for death every day, so there is really no need to be like them.
"Uncle Luohou, you are back, have you eaten, today my mother cooked corn porridge and left you a copy."
A little boy about six or seven years old, with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, ran out of a dilapidated stone house in a hurry, stepped forward to hold Luo Hou's clothes, and asked with a smile.
"Thank you, little biaozi, uncle has eaten it." Luo Hou smiled and touched the little boy's head, "Sue Uncle SΓΉ, are you well-behaved at home today, have you listened to your mother?" β
Xiao Biaozi nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said loudly: "Of course I'm obedient, Xiao Biaozi listens to his mother the most." β
"That's good, come, see what Uncle has brought you?" Luo Hou stuffed the packaged half plate of gopher meat into Xiao Biaozi's hand.
Xiao Biaozi first sniffled, then quickly opened the paper bag and shouted excitedly: "Wow, great! Meat again! Thank you, Uncle Luohou, you are so nice! β
"Xiao Luo is back, come into the house and leave you corn porridge." Out of the room came a woman about thirty years old, with a sallow face and a thin figure, it was Xiao Biaozi's mother, who saw the bag of meat in her son's hand, and a grateful smile appeared on her face.
Luo Hou shook his head and said, "Thank you, Sister Li Rong, I have already eaten - don't leave me any more food in the future, Xiao Biaozi is the time to grow your body, and your body is relatively weak, you have to ensure enough food." β
In the entire settlement, if there are still people who are really good to Luo Hou, they can count them on one hand. Li Rong's mother and son were the original villagers of the small village where the settlement was located, and they took good care of Luo Hou at the beginning of the new world. Although Li Rong is alone with a six- or seven-year-old son and has not become an evolutionary, her family still has a barren dry land in the settlement, and she grows some dry grains such as corn, which can barely support the life of the mother and son.
Thinking of this woman who was a few years older than himself, taking care of herself in this year, Luo Hou said in his heart that it would be a lie if he was not moved. Luo Hou, who has no relatives on Weiyang's side, has regarded Li Rong as his own sister in his heart.
In order to make Li Rong no longer worry about herself, Luo Hou decided to tell her about the fact that he could already cultivate.
"By the way, Sister Li Rong, I want to tell you something to be happy about-I can now sense the existence of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force, and it won't be long before I become an evolutionary, and then we won't have to worry about food anymore."
"Xiao Luo, is this true?" Li Rong's eyes lit up, if what Luo Hou said was true, then he would slowly get better in the future, "It's really good, so that if you go out to hunt zombies and demon beasts again, it won't be as dangerous as before." β
Xiao Biaozi listened to the conversation between his mother and Luo Hou, although he didn't understand the meaning very well, but he heard the sentence that Luo Hou would become an evolutionary clearly, and immediately jumped up happily.
"Great, great! Uncle Luo Hou can finally become an evolutionary! We can have more meat to eat in the future, haha, what a joy! "Although he is young, but on weekdays, he also knows that the Evolvers are a group of very powerful people.
"This kid knows how to eat!" Li Rong patted Xiao Biaozi's head dotingly.
Luo Hou was also amused by Xiao Biaozi's words, touched his head, and said to Li Rong:
"Sister Li Rong, it's not early, I have to go back to rest, you have to rest early."
"Well, okay, good night Xiao Luo. Little Biaozi, goodbye to Uncle Xiao Luo. β
β¦β¦
When he got home, he lit the oil lamp, and Luo Hou entered the bathroom (saying that it was a bathroom, but it was actually a circle of wooden strips with a layer of plastic paper pasted on it), turned on the faucet and rinsed it. Thanks to the indigenous people of the settlement, the villagers raised their own funds to build the tap water because the artesian well in the village was located higher than most of the settlements.
After taking a shower and drying his body, Luo Hou sat on his wooden bed with only a pair of shabby sheets, ready to sort out what had happened to him today.
All the qiΔ can be summed up as the spirit ring on the tail finger of the left hand, which can be divided into two points:
The first is that when the Imperial Spirit Ring was infected by the zombie virus, he transformed his body, and now he can sense the existence of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force. What made Luo Hou even more vaguely excited was that it seemed that from the moment he was able to sense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force, his body seemed to be able to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force on his own, although it was undetectable.
What does this mean?
You must know that from perceiving the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force to being able to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power, there is a longer or shorter process, and how long it takes depends on the individual's talent. As far as Luo Hou knew, Cheng Qiyi, the president of the Settlement Governance Association, became a first-order evolutionary within a month of the arrival of the new world, and then it took less than a year to become the current third-order evolutionary.
The second is the spirit ring itself, not to mention whether there will be any new functions in the future, just being able to control zombies and demon beasts is already extremely rebellious! With this, Luo Hou believes that the forest of powerhouses in the new world in the future will inevitably have its own place!
After sorting out this qiΔ, Luo Hou sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a white yuan crystal, and closed it in the palms of his hands. Sensing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power in Bai Jing, which was more than ten times richer than the air, Luo Hou tried to guide it into his body.
At first, Luo Hou was not allowed to enter the door, but he was not discouraged at all, and slowly gathered his distracting thoughts and settled down. Sure enough, after a short time, Luo Hou felt a faint cool and soft energy overflowing from the white crystal, along the palms of his hands, into his body, and after swimming all over his body, it dissolved in the flesh and blood of his body.
That feeling of being comfortable all over the body made Luo Hou can't help but moan. Moan out.
The night gradually deepened, and it was not until the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force absorbed by his body was saturated that Luo Hou stopped cultivating. Looking at the white crystal in his hand, the rich white in it was already a little dim with the naked eye, and it was almost absorbed by Luo Hou by nearly one-third.
Luo Hou waved his fist excitedly, and a confident smile bloomed on his face.
This. Night, sleepless......
