Chapter 8: The Advent of the Apocalypse 4

When Lou Ling finished dressing and came out, she saw that the cake display cabinets in the shop had been piled up in the corner, clearing out an empty space. On it was a double bed.

Lou Ling: =mouth=! A double bed?! Where did it come from?

Lou Dian sat on the bed and beckoned to her when he saw her come out. He looked like a big bad wolf tempting a little white rabbit, planning to swallow it in one bite.

"There's water inside. You should go and wash up too," Lou Ling said hurriedly.

Lou Dian wasn't dirty. Although he was wearing black, he somehow managed to keep a single drop of zombie blood from staining him. He was spotless, looking as clean as those elites who worked in offices, making Lou Ling quite envious. She made up her mind that she would be able to do the same as Lou Dian someday.

Lou Dian nodded. "Alright, so you won't be disgusted by me!"

The corner of Lou Ling's mouth twitched. "I'm not disgusted by you." She was much smellier than him, and he could still hug her. How could she be disgusted by him?

"En, I knew Xiao Ling wouldn't be disgusted by me!"

"…"

Lou Ling was going crazy. Was she being led astray by him? He didn't need to beat around the bush to test her. She really wasn't disgusted by him—okay, ever since their mother and father passed away and the siblings had depended on each other, she had always treated him as family. She wouldn't be disgusted by him no matter what. So even though she knew he had gone to the dark side, had become a bit twisted, and had different feelings for her, apart from escaping, she had never felt disgusted by him.

In his words, they weren't actually related by blood, and there was nothing between them. It was just that she always felt that his feelings were too terrifying, and the way he looked at her was too scary. She couldn't bear it. She had originally thought that after graduation, she would go to a coastal city in the south to find a job and spend a few years there, and then go back after he came to his senses and found a wife. Who knew that the apocalypse would suddenly arrive? In this terrifying and desperate apocalypse, the siblings naturally had to support each other even more…

When Lou Dian came out of the shower, he saw the girl with her chin resting on her knees, her delicate face staring blankly ahead, her eyes unfocused, and he had no idea where her mind had wandered off to. It wasn't until he sat down next to her and she saw him clearly that she jumped up like a rabbit, just in time to be caught in his arms.

She struggled subconsciously, but finding that the hands holding her were as immovable as a copper wall and iron bastion, Lou Ling quickly accepted the reality and rubbed her stomach. "Brother, I'm hungry."

Lou Ling thought he would take out the biscuits and other things he had collected earlier for dinner. Who knew that he would pull out a cabinet as a table, then bring over two chairs, and then take out steaming hot food from his space. The rice was cooked in a rice cooker, and he took out the whole rice cooker. When he opened the lid, the white rice was still steaming. The dishes were in plates, four dishes and a soup: braised pork knuckle with ham, twice-cooked pork, fish-flavored shredded pork, cold black fungus, and boiled mustard greens, and a pork rib, corn, and carrot soup.

After a day of fighting, she was tired and hungry. Seeing these steaming hot dishes, her mouth was watering.

It was great to have a space! Lou Ling looked at the food in front of her with a touched expression, then at the man who was serving her rice. Although he had gone to the dark side and was a bit perverted, he was exceptionally good to her. This was also the reason why she was willing to tolerate him.

Lou Ling took the rice he handed her, said thank you, and began to eat ferociously. Because her nerves had been tense all day and she had been more active than usual, the gathering of zombies had almost challenged her worldview, making her feel more tired than she had been in the past twenty years. So Lou Ling's food intake today was actually twice as much as usual, even surprising herself. Looking at Lou Dian again, Lou Ling suddenly felt that she was still eating very little, because Lou Dian's food intake was twice as much as hers. The two of them actually finished all the food.

After dinner, Lou Ling was so full that she didn't want to move. However, seeing Lou Dian packing the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen inside to wash them, Lou Ling hurriedly got up to help. She couldn't do things like waiting to be fed without lifting a finger. Who knew that Lou Dian wouldn't let her help at all? He took out a bunch of washed purple grapes from his space and let her sit on the small stool next to him to eat them. She ate grapes and watched him wash the pots and dishes, feeling like she was being raised to be useless—no, raised to be a pig so he could eat her.

Lou Ling stuffed a grape into his mouth and asked, "Is time in a space ability user's space always still? How big is the space? Can it hold a lot of things? Besides storing things, does it have other uses? Is space ability very rare? When did you prepare these meals and put them in the space? Or can you teleport things?"

Listening to her chatter, there was not a trace of impatience on his face. He washed the dishes and replied, "En, time in the space is still, but only for me, not for others, so Xiao Ling, don't tell anyone else, okay?" He said it in a tone that coaxed a child.

Lou Ling rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not stupid." Lou Dian so clearly laid out his trump card in front of her, which was a kind of trust in her. Perhaps he also understood and believed that even if she died, she would not do anything that would harm him, so he would be so unscrupulous in exposing himself in front of her. He was certain that she would not betray him, would not do anything that would harm him, so he always had her firmly in his grasp.

Lou Dian tilted his head and smiled at her. The smile was so dazzling that she hurriedly lowered her eyes and pretended to eat the grapes seriously.

Then Lou Dian explained to her that the size of a space ability user's space and the flow of time inside were determined by the ability user's own ability. The weaker the ability, the smaller the space, and the flow of time was almost the same as the outside world. If the ability user's ability level was strong, then the space would become larger, and the flow of time in the space would also become slower. In addition to storing things, space ability also had skills such as teleportation and space blades, depending on how the ability user himself used and mastered his ability. As for teleportation, Lou Ling had overthought it. That was impossible.

Lou Ling listened to him slowly explain, wanting to ask him how he knew so much, where he got this information from, but looking at the grapes in her hand, watching him put the washed and dried bowls upside down into the space, she didn't ask anything in the end.

Moreover, if the size of a space ability user's space and the flow of time inside were determined by the ability user himself, and the space of a low-level ability user was very small, and the flow of time was the same as the outside world, then… the supplies on this street and the steaming hot meals earlier… Lou Ling sighed. This man had too many secrets, clearly digging a hole for her to jump into.

After dinner, it was already dark outside. There were still zombies persistently hitting the iron door, but their abilities were still weak, and the iron door was very durable. It was just that the banging sound was very noisy.

They still had to continue training tomorrow, so seeing that it was almost time, they went to bed.

Lou Ling originally thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep, but being held in Lou Dian's arms and smelling his familiar scent, she soon fell asleep to the sound of the banging.

Realizing that she was asleep, Lou Dian reached out and gently covered her ears. His vast mental power spread out unrestrainedly, forming a mental barrier, blurring the consciousness of the zombies, causing those zombies that were hitting the door to ignore the cake shop and begin to slowly disperse, wandering aimlessly down the street.

Lou Dian's lips curled up slightly, his mood very good. He lowered his head and rubbed her white and delicate neck, then kissed it before falling asleep peacefully.


Lou Dian knew he was dreaming. He dreamt of what happened at the beginning of the apocalypse in his previous life.

At that time, Lou Ling had stayed at home for an extra day because she didn't have classes the next day, which was why she was able to avoid being trapped in the school, which was both a gathering place for people and a gathering place for zombies. As for him, because he was among the first batch to awaken his ability, he was in a coma for three days and three nights.

He still remembered that when he woke up from his coma, the first thing he saw was Lou Ling's haggard face and surprised eyes. Then she hugged him and cried. This was the second time Lou Ling had cried so hard in front of him since their parents passed away. There were terrifying monsters outside, and her only relative was unconscious. It was possible that, as they said on TV, he would turn into a zombie monster when he woke up, which made her very worried.

Many people, because they had seen the news reports on TV, killed their unconscious relatives and friends. However, his girl, even though she knew that he might be in danger, still guarded him firmly and never thought of killing him.

Later, he was one of the first to awaken his space ability. However, his space ability was too weak at the beginning. It was like trash. He could only store some things and his combat power was not strong. Obviously, he was the one with the ability, but he had to rely on Lou Ling to protect him…

"Lou Dian, nature is fair. We will definitely be able to live well in this apocalypse."

Every time he was exhausted by this desperate apocalypse, it was her bright smile, like the clear blue sky of early summer before the apocalypse, that dispelled the haze in people's hearts, and also made a crazy desire gradually grow in his heart. From the initial ignorant liking, it turned into a kind of twisted love. He wanted to have this person all to himself, not wanting anyone to discover her uniqueness, to discover her goodness.
