Chapter 30: The Dream Man
The two looked at Xu Xiaoxiao at the same time, only to see Xu Xiaoxiao's face pale and frightened, curled up on the bed and shivering.
"Hello? Welcome back to the real world. Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao's panicked look, Lu Yu couldn't help but quip.
"Good, what a terrible monster!" Xu Xiaoxiao patted his chest and said breathlessly.
"What's the matter, didn't this girl wake up?" Lu Yu looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, then at Xiao Ran, and scratched his head.
"I had a nightmare...... Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to finally calm down and said slowly.
"Nightmares, why does she have nightmares too?" Lu Yu and Xiao Ran were shocked at the same time in their hearts, but there was no change on the surface, waiting for Xu Xiaoxiao to continue.
"I dreamed of a terrible monster with tentacles, a lot of eyeballs, a lot of big mouths, and a lot of legs, and by the way, it could fly......"
"Uh...... Can you describe the specific point, this description is a bit sloppy......" Lu Yu put forward his opinion in time, and Xiao Ran on the side also nodded, expressing his second.
"I can't tell, the monster is shrouded in a black fog, I can't see it very really, I just know that I have become like Superman, with infinite strength."
"What's the Infinite Force?" Xiao Ran was very cooperative and raised his own questions.
"One punch can shatter a wall, ah, no, it's the kind of boulder!" Xu Xiaoxiao said, and gestured with her hand to swing the fist, but she obviously forgot that she was tied to the bed, and the action of swinging the fist caused the rope to tighten instantly.
Then there was a scene that shocked Lu Yu and Xiao Ran. The tight rope did not restrict Xu Xiaoxiao's movements, but as her range of movements increased, the rope snapped and broke, as if the clothesline as thick as a little thumb did not exist at all.
And Xu Xiaoxiao also reacted at this time, looking at the half of the rope on his wrist in a daze.
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran on the opposite side pushed back in unison, looking at Xu Xiaoxiao on the bed like a monster.
This fluttering movement, this seemingly underdeveloped arm, how did the girl in front of her do it?
"So you dreamed that you were infinitely powerful, and when you woke up, you were infinitely powerful?" Xiao Ran was the first to react, and asked vigilantly at Xu Xiaoxiao.
"I, I don't know, what's going on......" Xu Xiaoxiao looked panicked, and turned his gaze for help to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was already stunned at this time, what was the situation, the strength enhancement he had dreamed of was actually realized in Xu Xiaoxiao.
"Ahem!" Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the bed, Lu Yu coughed twice pretending to be calm, and said with a very experienced look.
"First of all, I should congratulate you on not becoming a zombie." Observing Xu Xiaoxiao's smooth and fair face, Lu Yu said the first sentence.
"The second is that it can now be concluded that the infected who have not become zombies can indeed obtain a certain amount of ability improvement after waking up from a coma, and it seems that you are improving your strength."
"Then the next step is to go through various tests to let you know your current physical condition, so that you can make better use of these new abilities." Lu Yu spoke with a scientific and rigorous attitude, and Xu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting opposite, was stunned for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
And Xiao Ran on the side rolled his eyes at this pretending coercion after listening to Lu Yu's remarks.
"What, I'm still feeling hungry, is that normal?" Xu Xiaoxiao obviously completely believed in Lu Yu's theory, and had already regarded him as the only guiding light at this time.
"Of course it's normal, you must know that after Xiao Ran woke up at that time, he ate almost half of the pork in my stock......" Lu Yu replied confidently, completely ignoring Xiao Ran's disdainful eyes.
"Then I'll ......" Looking at the food stacked next to the bed, Xu Xiaoxiao said hesitantly.
I've eaten a lot of things before, but I still feel empty in my stomach and have a strong desire for food.
"Eat, I'll cook for you." Lu Yu waved his hand very generously, judging the two of them from the previous appearance of wanting to drive Xu Xiaoxiao away.
Xu Xiaoxiao was no longer polite when he heard this, and glanced at the man in front of him gratefully, and even felt that he was much more handsome than before.
"But it's not for nothing, you have to work, from today on, I will be your boss." Lu Yu suddenly changed his words, and he changed into the same appearance as before.
"You'd better hurry up and cook." Xiao Ran on the side finally couldn't help it, and came to Lu Yu's calf with a whip leg that was not light or heavy, urging.
"Eh, you little friend, you don't know how to be polite, hey, treat your elders politely!" Lu Yu looked unsatisfied, as if he wanted to say something, but saw Xiao Ran raise the modified crossbow in his hand and aim it at his crotch.
"I'm not going right away, you see that you're a young man who is easy to get excited!" Seeing this, Lu Yu hurriedly covered his crotch and exited the room in a gloomy manner.
Xiao Ran saw Lu Yu exit the room, so he put down the modified crossbow in his hand. Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao who got up again, Xu Xiaoxiao at this time didn't care about whether his eating appearance was elegant, he quickly stuffed food into his mouth, and soon his cheeks were bulging high, like a greedy hamster.
"Go ahead and talk about your dreams." Xiao Ran pulled over the stool on the side and sat up, and said in a flat tone.
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was gobbling up, was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't pause too much, chewed the food in his mouth a few bites and swallowed it, and continued to tell about his dream.
"In the dream, I became very powerful, so I was sent to capture a monster, the name of that monster is very strange, it seems to be called ......" Xu Xiaoxiao lowered his head and pondered, people often quickly forget the dreams they had after waking up, and only remembered a few of them that impressed me, Xiao Ran had read this in the book, so he did not say anything to interrupt Xu Xiaoxiao's thinking.
"Oh yes, Second Apostle - Andre!" The girl on the bed clenched her right hand into a fist, hammered it lightly on her flat left hand, and said the name of the monster in her dream.
"Second Apostle......" Xiao Ran secretly wrote down the name and motioned for Xu Xiaoxiao to continue.
"You don't know how powerful that monster is, it can swallow clouds and spitt mist, and it can control our teammates for a short time, making them kill each other, but in the end it was subdued by our team members."
"Your squad? Do you have any other teammates in your dreams? Xiao Ran still looked calm and asked in a low voice.
"Absolutely! And it's not just our team, there are more than a dozen squads, but they were all killed by monsters, what are their names......" Xu Xiaoxiao said quickly, but when he mentioned the names of the team members, he was stunned again, as if he was trying to recall their names.
"Alas, I don't remember, but I remember a handsome guy with a ponytail and a short stubble, super handsome!" Xu Xiaoxiao gave up his memories and shifted his focus to the appearance of his teammates.
"Eh, skip the handsome guys, what about later?" Xiao Ran was obviously not interested in the handsome guy in Xu Xiaoxiao's mouth, and continued to ask.
"Later, didn't we subdue the monster, I wanted to go up and see what the monster looked like, whether it was dead or not......" Speaking of this, a look of fear appeared on Xu Xiaoxiao's face, as if the next words made her afraid when she woke up.
"The monster caught in the net, suddenly shot out a blood-red tentacle from the body, directly into my stomach, I wanted to resist, but suddenly found that my perspective changed, I could clearly see that I was pierced into the body by the tentacles, standing there motionless."
"Huh? What do you mean, is it a perspective switch? Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Xu Xiaoxiao's words.
"It's as if the souls have been swapped, and I watch my body being attacked by tentacles, and I'm the monster that pierced the tentacles!"
"Then I woke up,......" Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, grabbed another bag of chocolate, and began to stuff it into her mouth, as if the strange scene she had just described consumed a lot of her energy.
"So to put it simply, when you stepped forward to check, the monster swapped bodies with you?"
"Hmm!"
Xiao Ran put his hand on his chin and began to think.
She also had the experience of dreaming when she was in a coma before, but her dream was to recite the text in front of her parents, and after memorizing it, she found that her parents had turned into zombies and pounced on her, which was not like Xu Xiaoxiao's ups and downs at all.
"I don't know if Lu Yu has the same dream experience......" As if to verify something, Xiao Ran quickly came to the kitchen and stopped Lu Yu, who was opening cans.
"Did you have any dreams when you were unconscious before?"
When Lu Yu heard this, he replied without thinking, "Yes, the dream is inexplicable...... After speaking, he poured a whole canned beef into the pot, and it can be seen that the water in the pot has been boiling at this time, and it is constantly tumbling.
"Tell me about the content." Xiao Ran didn't mean to stop talking, and continued to ask.
"I dreamed that I took the bus to work, damn, I dreamed of ......going to work," Lu Yu muttered dissatisfiedly, "In the dream, I dozed off on the bus, and was woken up by a middle-aged uncle who was beaten with chicken blood, and then the person in the back seat asked me to borrow fire, this person ......"
When Lu Yu said this, he stopped the movements in his hand, as if he was thinking about something, and finally said to Xiao Ran.
"I'll explain it to you when we eat, it's a long story."
It's not that Lu Yu deliberately wants to sell this pass, it's just that Lu Yu hasn't mentioned Zhang Heng's matter to Xiao Ran yet, although his dream is very short, it is still very important to do a good job in introducing the characters who appear.
However, at this time, Xu Xiaoxiao's screams came from the study again......
