The Absolute Favorite in the Apocalyptic Rebirth

The next morning, Lou Dian went out after breakfast, leaving Lou Ling in the apartment.

The place Lou Dian and Lou Zhan went to today was not suitable for Lou Ling. Just thinking about sending the information to the military department of the base and facing those big shots made her nervous. So she didn't have any objections to Lou Dian leaving her behind. After he went out, she began to practice her abilities again.

Today, she tried to see if she could ripen watermelons. She actually cared about Lou Dian's laughter. She could grow watermelon seedlings and grow a few watermelons, but the watermelons weren't ripe! Why couldn't she ripen them?

After breakfast, Grandpa Mo and Chen Kaiwei also went out to work. The two children naturally followed them. Only Lou Ling and Lin Baobao were left in the house.

Lin Baobao was nestled lazily on the sofa, her face a little pale. A faint smell of blood wafted from her body, instantly making people understand her current state. Because of this, Lin Baobao was also a little depressed. She lay on the sofa, feeling extremely depressed.

She had originally wanted to go out of the base today to find her silly younger brother who had left the research institute base and followed her. But last night, her good friend came. She didn't know if it was because she had tossed and turned half the night, but her spirit was not good today, and her face was pale. In her current state, it was naturally not suitable for her to go out of the base, otherwise, she would be a living zombie attractant.

Lin Baobao curled up on the sofa, biting her nails, feeling extremely annoyed. She couldn't let go of that fool, but then she felt that he could shield zombies, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Her only worry was that humans would find him strange and deal with him…

As she tossed and turned, she saw that the watermelon vines beside Lou Ling were growing well. Several green watermelons were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye until they stopped growing when they were the size of half a basketball. She counted them. There were four normal-sized watermelons, three fist-sized small watermelons, and a few watermelon flowers tremblingly growing, unable to bear fruit.

Lin Baobao held her face with her hand, her face full of doubts. How did the ability come about, and what was its use? It was against common sense that watermelons could bear fruit without bees to pollinate them. But the ability itself violated common sense, so it was not surprising.

Lou Ling瘫sat on the ground, sweat dripping from her forehead. Her power was exhausted.

Lin Baobao suddenly became interested. She got up from the sofa, pulled a watermelon, and cut it down with a hand knife. The watermelon split open. When she broke it open, she saw the light-colored flesh. It was raw at a glance. She took another bite, and it tasted bland.

"It's still raw?" Lou Ling asked. Seeing Lin Baobao nodding at her with a grin, she couldn't help but feel a little dejected.

Lin Baobao picked up all four watermelons and piled them in the corner. Although they were raw, they were still fruits. It was okay to use them to taste fresh. Then she said to Lou Ling, "Lingling, why did you grow so many watermelons at once? Wouldn't it be better to grow only one watermelon from one watermelon seed? Look, you've grown too many, and the abilities are separated, so it's not enough. If the ability is not enough, the watermelon will naturally not ripen."

"Is that so?" Lou Ling thought carefully. "When I urged them to grow, the watermelon itself wanted to grow like this. I can't do anything about it."

"Then try to control your ability and see if you can make the watermelon vines grow according to your wishes, and then only bear one melon. The others are not necessary." Lin Baobao said, "This should be a test of the control of the ability. It's not enough to be able to communicate with the seeds. You have to make them grow according to your wishes, make them grow an inch, and not grow any longer. If you want them to grow a leaf, you can't grow two more. If you can control it to this extent, it will become your most powerful weapon."

Lou Ling was stunned. Since she had the ability, she had always communicated with the seeds first, obtained their approval, and then directly used the ability to promote growth without restricting their growth. Now Lin Baobao told her that she could also use her ability to control their growth form. If so, it was worth a try.

For the rest of the day, Lou Ling spent her time consuming her abilities, resting, and then consuming her abilities again until noon, when Lou Dian returned.

Seeing Lou Dian return, the two women remembered that they had not made lunch yet. They hurriedly jumped up and ran to the kitchen to simply cook some noodles.

"Why are you back so soon?" Lou Ling asked as she slowly sucked the noodles.

"The matter is over, so naturally, I came back." Lou Dian squinted at her, "What did you do all morning?"

"I'm trying to ripen the watermelon. I think I've found a solution. I'll ripen a watermelon for you to taste in the afternoon." Lou Ling said happily, infinitely proud. Whoever dared to laugh at her again, she would directly slap his face with red watermelon juice.

Seeing her pride, Lou Dian just smiled and didn't stimulate her with any more venomous tongue. Instead, he talked about what he had discussed with Lou Zhan today.

"Eldest Brother said that in half a month, he will return to the northwest. Let's go together and see Uncle and Aunt. You haven't seen Aunt yet." Lou Dian's eyes, as black as jade, contained a soft light, making him look so elegant and gentle that it was intoxicating.

Lin Baobao stared blankly, then sighed inexplicably, lowered her head, and continued to eat noodles.

Lou Ling's face was a little strange. Why did these words sound like they were going to meet their parents? However, she had no objection. Wherever Lou Dian went, she would naturally go. She said, "Well, it's the same everywhere, so let's go." After the apocalypse, no matter which base it was, it was just a temporary safe place to settle down. If there was no strength, it would be impossible to live anywhere with peace of mind.

"I'll go to the northwest with you." Lin Baobao followed, hesitated, and then said, "If the northwest is good, I want to take my brother to the northwest base…" Then she frowned and looked at Lou Dian with some trepidation, afraid that he would refuse. After all, she had no idea whether a fool who could be called a lethal weapon was suitable to live in the base.

Lou Dian said casually, "No! He'll attack people!"

"I'll teach him well!" Lin Baobao gritted her teeth.

"Well, then wait until you see him." Lou Dian frowned and asked, "What's his name?"

"Tan Mo."

Lou Dian was slightly stunned, his slightly long bangs covering his eyes. After taking a sip of noodle soup, he said, "The terrain in the northwest is high, the land is vast and sparsely populated. It's actually quite good to settle down there."

Lou Ling's eyes lit up. "Moreover, Uncle and the others are there. It's far from the sea, there are fewer natural disasters, and fewer zombies. There are only threats from mutant beasts and mutant plants, which is indeed much better than other places. It's a good place."

"Yes, it's a good place." He smiled at her tenderly, even thinking that if it was possible, he would make that place their home, their home.

Lou Ling turned to Lin Baobao and said, "Baobao, the forces in the capital base are too complicated, and the place is narrow, so it's really not suitable for living. Let's go to the northwest base to settle down. Last time on the mission, many people saw your brother's face. It's not safe to stay here. If he doesn't hurt anyone, we'll take him into the base."

A smile appeared on Lin Baobao's face. "Okay."

Lou Ling thought for a moment and said, "When you go out of the base to see him in a few days, we'll go with you. Brother, what do you think?" She turned to Lou Dian for his opinion.

Lou Dian knew that she was worried about Lin Baobao and that she would only go with her if she encountered any danger, but… he also needed to verify Tan Mo's ability to see if it was that person.

"Well, if there's nothing else, we can go and have a look." Lou Dian said.

Lou Ling and Lin Baobao both looked at him suspiciously, feeling that he was too easy to talk to. However, Lou Ling quickly let go, only Lin Baobao was a little tangled.

Since they had agreed to go out of the base together to find Tan Mo, in the next few days, Lou Ling and Lin Baobao rested in the house, adjusting their bodies and minds to the best state.

When Lin Baobao recovered to her lively and energetic state, the three of them greeted Grandpa Mo and Chen Kaiwei and left the base early in the morning.

Lou Dian drove, Lou Ling sat in the passenger seat, and Lin Baobao sat in the back.

The two girls chatted and ate breakfast. Breakfast was bread, eggs, and a carton of milk. Eggs, this kind of thing, after the apocalypse, there were not many hens that could lay eggs. They were all supplied to the higher-ups of the base. Even the ability users could hardly eat them once. However, there were eggs of mutated birds in the forest outside. After the birds mutated, even the eggs they laid became bigger. The eggs were as big as a bowl. As long as they could defeat the mutated birds and bring the bird eggs back to cook and eat, the taste was also good.

Lin Baobao couldn't figure out where Lou Dian got these eggs from, but she knew all about Lou Dian's methods. It was enough to have something to eat. Occasionally, she should just be a fool and not think too much. After thinking about it, she looked at Lou Ling again. This girl's nerves and lack of carefreeness made her life really happy.

After Lou Ling finished her breakfast, she tore open another piece of bread, handed it to Lou Dian, and said, "Brother, have breakfast."

Lin Baobao looked at the two people who were showing their love in front of her, the corners of her mouth twitching. Then she looked away, observing the scenery along the way. Many vehicles or pedestrians, like them, left the base early in the morning, either to clean up zombies or to collect supplies in nearby cities. The scenery along the road looked very desolate, revealing a kind of decadence unique to the apocalypse.

After feeding Lou Dian breakfast, Lou Ling continued, "Baobao, did you agree with your brother where to wait for you?"

"…No." Lin Baobao suddenly felt that she was very stupid. What was even more stupid was that she actually believed a fool and asked him to wait for her outside obediently. Not to mention that there were so many people, but in this place where zombies were running all over the ground, would he really listen to her obediently? "I told him not to let humans find him and to hide himself well. I'll go out and find him then."

Hearing such straightforward words, Lou Ling was also speechless. Should she be glad that Lin Baobao's younger brother was obedient?

It was a three-hour drive from the capital base to the nearest city, but there were many towns around. After driving for an hour, they gradually separated from the other vehicles on the road, and soon they didn't see any more vehicles.

Along the way, Lou Dian drove while spreading his mental power, weaving it into a dense net, extending his mental power to the limit.

Suddenly, Lou Dian found that his mental power was blocked in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he found it.

Lou Dian turned the steering wheel and drove the car off the main road, heading for a small road. At the end of the small road, there were some dilapidated houses. There were not many houses, only about a dozen or so. There was a village nearby, and the houses were scattered, but looking at the situation, the people in the village had long run away, and this place had become a no-man's land. Not far away was a mountain forest. The forest was not big, and the mountain was not high. There were not many trees on the mountain, and it looked sparse and not dangerous.

The car stopped in an open space.

As soon as they got out of the car, a gust of wind rushed over. Lou Dian jumped onto the roof of the car with one hand supporting the car body. Then, with the force, he unceremoniously kicked the figure that was flying towards him again, sending the person flying into the grass. The man groaned in pain, then arched his body like a wild beast, making threatening noises.

Lin Baobao quickly saw the appearance of the man in ragged clothes. Although he looked decent when they broke up, why did he become like a savage after a few days? However, she still spoke to stop him from attacking Lou Dian again.

"Tan Mo!"

The man paused when he heard her voice, then looked over in a daze. When he saw Lin Baobao, a smile appeared on his dirty face. He jumped over at once, grinned, and called out, "Sister."

Lin Baobao quickly grabbed his hand and pointed to Lou Dian and the others. "Don't hit them, they're our own people! Do you understand?"

The man looked at Lou Dian with wild violence in his eyes, but he turned his head and glanced at Lin Baobao, nodding obediently, parroting, "Our own people, don't hit them!"

"Yes." Lin Baobao breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that he would be hostile to Lou Dian again, and then be directly killed by the impatient Lou Dian.

At this time, Lou Ling came over and said, "Baobao, do you want to go over there to rest for a while? It will be noon soon." The midday sun was the strongest, and even zombies were reluctant to go out in the sun at this time.

Lin Baobao looked at the man who was as dirty as a savage and nodded, her hand still tightly clutching his wrist, afraid that his mind would be confused again and he would attack people indiscriminately. This kind of indiscriminate attack on people was retained from the research base. She didn't know what he had experienced to attack everyone.
