"The water in the pot is overflowing. The circuit is reversed. The fuel is almost out. The bread is burnt."
Ling Xiaolu did the work of eight people by himself, running around in the shelter with his hands full, with a strong-mouthed king at his feet, nibbling bread and pointing at the country.
Anyone who experiences this kind of life will probably go crazy, but Ling Xiaolu has the ability to unconditionally tolerate the young and lovely Ji Meng, and even takes time out of his busy schedule to pick him up.
The little prince blushed: "You, what are you doing!"
Ling Xiaolu thoughtfully helped him wipe the crumbs off his mouth, and handed him a bottle of water: "The bread is too dry, and you keep talking and you get thirsty."
Xiao Jimeng looked at the bottle in his hand tangled, this was the "purified water" he had just seen Ling Xiaolu filtered out of sewage.
Ling Xiaolu understood at a glance: "If you don't drink, you will die of thirst. Under these conditions, don't pick and choose."
Whoever picks and chooses, Xiao Ji Meng gushed out of anger and drank all the water.
Ling Xiaolu's heart melted. He really wanted to raise a six-year-old Ji Meng. Now he can understand why Ji Meng looked at his babies and smiled like his aunt. If there was a mirror, he believed that his expression at this time would also be the same. It's almost the same as Ji Meng.
He put Xiao Jimeng at the table and sat down. He found the old clothes left by the previous people, and prepared to cut a new one for him. He is still wearing ragged novice clothes. When he grows up and becomes a teenager, his trousers will become shorts, which will damage the image of the prince.
The shelter's lights were mostly turned off due to a lack of electricity. Under the dim table lamp, Ling Xiaolu focused on cutting and sewing. Ji Meng, who had been pointing fingers, was rarely quiet, and his eyes fell on Ling Xiaolu's serious face. Such a peaceful and warm scene is hard to imagine taking place in an apocalyptic sanctuary. At this moment, there are no zombies and no other human beings. There are only two of them left in the whole world.
If only time could stand still in this moment.
Ling Xiaolu didn't know Ji Meng's mental activity at the moment. Sewing clothes was a complicated job, and the uncle had never taught him. He just made his first finished product by relying on the game instructions, and the sense of accomplishment was overwhelming.
"How's it going? This is the dragon robe that the royal father sewed for you!" Coincidentally, Ling Xiaolu found out that this old work clothes happened to be yellow, and the dried oil and blood stains on it could barely disguise the dragon pattern.
Ji Meng put on the work clothes made by Ling Xiaolu, and the words "Mother's Hand Line" appeared in his mind. He hurriedly shook his head to shake off this terrible thought. It was stupid to forcibly recognize his father. Ling Xiaolu actually wanted to be both a father and a mother.
"Do you like it?" Ling Xiaolu saw that he was still stern, thinking that Ji Meng was dissatisfied with this one-piece workwear. But it's no wonder he, the clothing style in the game is not something he can control.
Xiao Jimeng pouted and gave the highest evaluation he could give: "It's okay."
Ling Xiaolu's mind flashed that the teenager Ji Meng was wearing a one-piece overalls, holding a wrench, and the greasy face was full of arrogance—
- "I've fixed the water pipe, can Dad be lighter next time he showers!"
Ling Xiaolu covered his chest happily, he finally knew why some people were keen on developing games!
Ji Meng knew at a glance that Ling Xiaolu was thinking of strange things, but he couldn't ask, and he would probably be even more angry if he asked.
Ling Xiaolu woke up and remembered that he still had work to do.
"You stay at home, I'll wait to pick up waste..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Meng began to get nervous: "Are you going to leave me here alone?"
He is not nervous about himself, the outside world is dangerous, how many people have gone and never returned. He finally found Ling Xiaolu, but he was not allowed to take risks.
"I'm still a kid!" He even brought his age out to stop each other.
"Don't be afraid, the shelter is safe."
"If it's safe, how did the previous person die?"
"..." Ling Xiaolu was speechless.
He could only reason well with the children: "If I don't go looking for food, what shall we eat?"
"I've checked it, and as long as the food here is saved, it's enough for the two of us to last a long time."
As for what will happen a long time later, it will be decided after a long time.
Ling Xiaolu couldn't convince him: "Then..."
There was movement outside the door.
"what sound?"
Unlike the sound of zombies attacking, Ling Xiaolu carefully opened the door.
When a strange child saw the door open, he squeezed in desperately: "Finally found you!"
Ling Xiaolu: "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I eat less, I am very capable, I can repair electrical appliances, I can trap mice, I can peel and dry mice, I will help the family do a lot of things, please be sure to keep me! "
Ling Xiaolu reluctantly glanced at Ji Meng and spread his hands, "There is definitely not enough food left now."
Ji Meng encountered a thorny problem: "Then, then throw him out!"
The child knelt down and hugged Ling Xiaolu's leg with a "wow": "Dad!"
"What a joke!" Ling Xiaolu protected him, "He is also my child, your brother, how can you throw it out?"
The knock on the door rang again, this time with two children at once.
Ling Xiaolu: Twins?
The three newcomers recognize each other in their presence:
"You also watched the live broadcast?"
"Yeah, I died six times before I was reincarnated here!"
"I died seven times!"
"But it's all worth it, we are finally reincarnated into the emperor's family!"
Ling Xiaolu: ? ?
The three shook hands excitedly: "Second Emperor Brother!"
"Sister Three Emperors! Brother Four Emperors! You've worked hard!"
Xiao Jimeng blew his hair angrily: "Look! I told you to drive them out!"
"How can you do this?" Ling Xiaolu taught him, "Even if you were born in an emperor's family, it's the end of the world now. Brothers and sisters should support each other, and they can't always think about palace fights!"
"Father is right!" The third child strongly echoed, "Dad, I will repair all kinds of tooling and armor, you can keep me and guarantee that it will not be a loss!"
The fourth child also tried his best to show his loyalty: "Although my work ability is not as strong as my brothers and sisters, I can sing, tell jokes, and liven up the atmosphere. It is the most important thing to maintain a positive heart in the end, isn't it!"
"Don't worry!" Ling Xiaolu reassured them, "Whether you know it or not, I will work hard to raise each of you!"
If Little Ji Meng wasn't too short, he must have stepped forward and woke up his over-the-top cheap dad. As the only adult in the sanctuary, it is already very difficult to support one, but Ling Xiaolu actually has to raise a litter!
He closed his eyes in anger, and when he opened them, he found that the angle of view had become much higher.
Ling Xiaolu looked at him in surprise: "You have grown up!"
The teenager Ji Meng has grown into a teenager Ji Meng unconsciously. He is a head taller, his arms and legs are much thinner, and his face is handsome, just like the image of a developing teenager.
Seeing that he took him from a little baby to a handsome guy with his own hands, Ling Xiaolu had no reason not to work hard, he was full of motivation at this moment!
"Your eldest brother can already do housework and take care of you. Dad goes out to scavenge waste and try to pick up more useful things to come back!"
"Good dad!"
"Be safe, Dad!"
Ji Meng couldn't stop it now. If Ling Xiaolu didn't go out, they could only starve to death here.
"You can go out, but you can't go too far, don't come into direct contact with the zombies, you must come back before it gets dark." Ji Meng turned on the old mother mode.
"I know," Ling Xiaolu shook his head with a smile and kissed Ji Meng's forehead very naturally, "I'll leave it to you at home."
Ji Meng lost his temper in an instant, and his younger brothers and sisters whispered.
"Dad kisses the prince and brother."
"Brother Prince is blushing."
"Can Dad kiss me too?"
Ji Meng stared at him fiercely, and the three of them also instantly misfired. Sure enough, the misfire has a chain effect.
Ling Xiaolu left, leaving Ji Meng a house full of work and three children who couldn't do anything but eat.
Ji Meng had never encountered such a daunting challenge in his life. Those jobs that Ling Xiaolu seemed to be familiar with, he found out that the difficulty was beyond his imagination.
When he did this, he didn't care about the other. He was thinking about Ling Xiaolu's safety, but the three burdens were still eating bread and pointing at the country.
"The water in the pot is about to overflow, brother prince."
"The fuel is almost out, brother prince."
"The bread is burnt, brother prince."
"Long-winded! Shut me up!" Ji Meng roared, wishing he could throw the three noisy little kids outside to feed the zombies.
The little broken children pouted and aggrieved. In the live broadcast just now, Dad obviously didn't treat the prince's brother like this, but he was gentle and patient. Why doesn't the brother look like his own at all
When Ji Meng was on the verge of collapsing, Ling Xiaolu finally returned, but he was also stunned. The originally well-organized shelter was a mess—flour was spilled on the ground, there was a suspicious burnt smell from the stove, and the storage kettles were all chaotic. It is empty, the light bulb is off and on.
"What happened? Are the zombies here?" he asked in a panic.
The three children quietly pointed to the culprit with their little fingers. This is the most terrifying zombie in the whole apocalypse.
Ji Meng messed up the housework and was full of anger, but when he finally saw Ling Xiaolu returning safely, he was about to let go of his hanging heart, but his eyes widened because of the "thing" Ling Xiaolu held in both hands.
"You, didn't you go out scavenging? What did you pick up!" He looked like he had seen a zombie.
Ling Xiaolu held a child in one hand: "they two? I just picked it up at the door. Come, let me introduce you, these are your eldest brother, second brother, third sister, and fourth brother. Welcome to our big family. ."
"Hello, brothers and sisters! Hello, brother prince!"
"Welcome to Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu!"
Ji Meng's headache was about to explode: "We already have enough children, can you stop picking them up!"
Even picking up two at a time, is it because you don't have enough mouths to eat? !
Ling Xiaolu happily walked inside: "Don't worry, I have gained a lot from this trip."
He opened the dirty old backpack: "Look, these are the tins and compressed biscuits I found in the abandoned supermarket, enough for all of us!"
"Wow! Dad is amazing!"
"I love your dad!"
Young children's voices come and go.
"Even if it's enough, it's only enough for one meal. Don't you have to go out to find food later? If you don't have so many mouths, you don't have to go out and take risks!"
The newly-arrived Little Five and No. 6 burst into tears: "Brother Prince, don't drive us away, we promise to eat only a little bit! We just need to drink some water!"
"...You, showgirls!"
Ling Xiaolu reassured Ji Meng who was so angry: "Don't be irritable, think about what we lack the most right now, is it food? It's population! Although the initial stage is a bit difficult, but you see, the second and third, they will soon be When I grow up, I can help my family with work.”
The named child raised his chest proudly.
"In the future, when everyone has grown up, this sanctuary will have a lot of labor, why can't it develop? You Taishang Huang handed this land into my hands, just hoping that I can lead it to prosperity again, I can't live up to it. His nurturing grace!"
Even if Ling Xiaolu was right, Ji Meng couldn't be happy.
"Okay, okay," Ling Xiaolu comforted him, "Time is running out, you have enough to eat and drink, and look at your house, I'll find something to eat and come back. Uh... If you can't do those housework, don't do it yet. "If nothing is done, it looks like it's getting better.
"Dad go slow!"
"Dad, watch out for zombies!"
Ling Xiaolu waved at the lovely children before he opened the safety door, but was slammed shut by another force.
He turned around in confusion, and the adult Ji Meng pressed the door with one hand, as if he was holding Ling Xiaolu in his arms.
Ling Xiaolu blinked, he was a handsome teenager just a second ago, why is he not cute in a blink of an eye
Is the truth of growing up so cruel
But even more cruel is yet to come.
"Take off!"
Ling Xiaolu:
"I'll let you off!"
Ling Xiaolu: ? ?
"What are you doing stupidly?" Ji Meng said fiercely, "I'm an adult, I can go out! Take off your equipment and give it to me, and let me stay here to take care of these chickens, I'd rather go outside and die!"
