Luo Xiaole narrowed her eyes. Apart from Pi Jiajia, these were the only two green energy vortexes she had ever seen.
Coupled with the disappearance of everyone's abilities in the past few days and the soldiers bringing people.
She was almost certain.
This Brother Cheng and the commander of this military base not only had an unusual relationship, but were likely colluding. They not only controlled the base but also intended to use the title and skills of a weapons master to develop more power in the apocalypse.
Their ambitions were not small…
Looking at their distinctive energy vortexes and their respectful attitude towards Qin Mingyang, she suddenly had a bold guess.
Qin Mingyang's family laboratory had taken immediate measures after the zombie outbreak and was so perfectly preserved.
And Brother Cheng and this base commander not only favored Qin Mingyang but also possessed a different ability system from others.
Plus the stockpiling…
These people not only knew each other but also knew in advance that the world would turn into a zombie apocalypse, and that rivers of blood would flow overnight?
After all, no one would expand their basement and prepare so many things in advance for no reason, would they?
Did the appearance of zombies have something to do with these forces…
Luo Xiaole pondered silently, feeling a chill down her spine.
Cheng Miao's gaze was fixed on Luo Xiaole. Since Commander Zhou had specifically requested her to accompany them, he couldn't make a move on her openly for the time being.
"Little sprout, there's plenty of time in the future. Commander Zhou can't protect you forever. We'll settle our accounts slowly…" he muttered silently in his heart.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of a room nearby. He was stunned for a second upon seeing Cheng Miao, his face filled with shock, and he turned to run.
"Get back here!" Cheng Miao roared.
He knew why this commander had recovered so quickly.
Pi Jiajia had actually been brought here by Luo Xiaole…!
He should have thought of it sooner!
Brother Cheng's eyes were bloodshot. He thought Luo Xiaole barging into his basement was audacious enough, but she had not only taken his things but also dared to abduct his people.
Was this little sprout really tired of living?
Upon hearing his roar, Pi Jiajia scrambled back like a rolling ball.
"Boss… Boss…" he mumbled in a low voice.
"…I gave you permission to come out? Didn't I tell you to stay in the room and not come out? I'll settle accounts with you when we get back!" Brother Cheng gritted his teeth and whispered.
"Sir, when would you like to depart? We can make preparations accordingly," the base commander said with a solemn salute to Zhou Shoushan.
"Tomorrow," Zhou Shoushan replied without even lifting an eyelid.
"Understood. Please rest well tonight." With that, he prepared to leave with Cheng Miao.
Cheng Miao glared at Pi Jiajia, signaling him to follow and take him back.
Pi Jiajia shuffled out at a snail's pace. He didn't want to go. His special ability meant that Brother Cheng usually didn't mistreat him, but disobeying orders like this would surely earn him a scolding.
Luo Xiaole took a few steps forward. "Wait…" she called out softly to Pi Jiajia.
"I haven't forgotten the reward I promised you. Tell me what you want to eat now," Luo Xiaole said in a very low voice, but at a rapid pace.
"?" Pi Jiajia was stunned. He could have anything he wanted?
Anyway, this little sprout probably couldn't get it. He might as well tease her, since he was the one bringing him out.
"Then I want to eat… red bean buns! The steaming hot kind! And mala tang!" his tone was incredibly annoying.
Luo Xiaole gave him a helpless look, leaving behind a "Wait a second for me…" and then froze in front of him as if she had suddenly malfunctioned, her breathing seemingly ceasing for a moment.
The next second, she seemed to come back to life.
Suddenly, a plastic bag containing several hot items was stuffed into Pi Jiajia's arms.
Even through the plastic bag, they smelled delicious!
"What is this?" he asked in surprise, sniffing the red bean aroma.
Luo Xiaole made a "shushing" gesture to him.
Telling him to eat it later.
He stealthily peeked into the bag and indeed saw three piping hot red bean buns!
"I'll make up for the mala tang I owe you another time!" Luo Xiaole added.
…
When Luo Xiaole returned to the dormitory, feeling a bit weak.
Lin Xia pulled her gently but firmly to the wall.
"That flat-headed man who went downstairs before you, do you know him?" Her gaze was very complicated.
Cheng Miao?
Why was Lin Xia asking her about him?
"No, but to put it simply, we don't get along…" Luo Xiaole couldn't explain why, but she had felt like she was being watched these past few days. So, when people were around, she was very careful with her actions.
She had a hunch it was someone sent by that Brother Cheng.
But they had no direct interaction.
"What's wrong?" Luo Xiaole stared at Lin Xia curiously. She rarely reacted so strongly to others.
"Nothing." Lin Xia's expression returned to normal.
She hooked her arm around Luo Xiaole's shoulder and brought her back into everyone's sight.
"???" Luo Xiaole looked at Lin Xia silently.
Something felt off…
"Xiaole! You were out for so long, we almost went to look for you!" Nie Yuan rushed over.
Luo Xiaole briefly recounted the day's events to everyone, omitting the details, of course.
"A single day can be so eventful…" Zhou Xiaojun gnawed on the half-bag of sunflower seeds he hadn't finished, looking engrossed.
"So we're leaving with the commander of Luocheng tomorrow, heading to the Luocheng base?"
"How exciting!"
"There's also good news." Luo Xiaole grinned slyly.
"Did the commander say he'll feed us today?" Luo Shu also chimed in.
"I'll feed you all." Luo Xiaole's eyes curved into crescent moons. "What do you want to eat?" 138 Reading Network
The secret of the special weapons couldn't be revealed easily, as they were deadly weapons.
But food was much easier to explain. She could use the excuse of spatial abilities to brush it off.
She couldn't always hide her abilities. These things would eventually be exposed.
As for Zhou Shoushan, she didn't know why, but based on Brother Cheng's attitude towards him and his actions these past few days, he was not a sinister person, at least.
And he was a smart one.
It was fine to reveal this little bit of her "ability."
If possible, she even wanted to use this "little ability" to trade with others and try to level up.
"What do you mean? We can order dishes?" Zhou Xiaojun was already wiping his drool.
"Kung Pao chicken?" Luo Shu's eyes widened.
"Do you have Taro Melon Pie?" "I want to eat stir-fried rice cakes…"
Then, half an hour later.
Everyone stared in disbelief as they received the food they had wished for…
They had just been joking, casually naming dishes, joining in the fun.
"Xiaole, you seem to be playing with something very new…"
"This is the ability I've always dreamed of…"
"This is the ability I awakened today. Maybe because I awakened it in the base, it's not restricted, but I can't provide too much. I can't fully control this ability either," Luo Xiaole said, half-truthfully. She just didn't want others to think her ability was too outrageous.
Being the "little cook" of the team wasn't bad.
After all, her current teammates were quite reliable.
"Xiaole, you're the best! I knew following you was the right choice!" Everyone praised her.
"I never thought I'd get to eat this in my lifetime. Xiaole, don't worry! If you ever need help, just say the word. I, Nie Yuan, would go through fire and water for you! Oh, this is so delicious…"
"Here, I noticed you liked this brand of chocolate sticks before. I wonder if Divine Master Mo, do you like anything else? Otherwise, tell me now and I'll prepare it for you?"
Luo Xiaole held out several chocolate sticks and approached Mo Chen, who was sitting by the window, wrapped in a quilt, almost blending into the darkness.
"These are very good." Mo Chen's slender fingers suddenly touched Luo Xiaole's hand.
He quickly retracted them.
His gaze wandered uneasily for a few seconds before he accepted the chocolate sticks.
"You were the one who saved me several times in the neighborhood before, right?" Luo Xiaole looked at him and suddenly said.
