A Race to (Be) The Top - Chapter 68
“The water in the pot is about to overflow. The positive and negative poles of the circuit are reversed. The fuel is almost gone. The bread is scorched.”
Ling Xiaolu did the work of eight people alone, running around in the refuge very busy, with a strong mouth on his heels, gnawing bread and pointing the country.
Anyone who would experience this kind of life would probably be crazy, but Ling Xiaolu was able to unconditionally tolerate the young and lovely Ji Meng, and even took the time to hug people up during his busy schedule.
The little prince flushed: “You, what are you doing!”
Ling Xiaolu intimately helped him wipe the crumbs from his mouth, and then handed him a bottle of water: “The bread is too dry, you keep talking, and you get thirsty.”
Xiao Jimeng looked at the bottle in his hand entangledly. This was the “purified water” he had just seen Ling Xiaolu filtered with sewage.
Ling Xiaolu understood at a glance: “If you don’t drink it, you will die of thirst. Under these conditions, don’t pick and choose.”
Whoever picks and chooses, Xiao Ji groaned in anger and drank the water.
Ling Xiaolu’s heart has become cute. He really wants to raise a six-year-old Ji Meng. He can now understand why Ji Meng will look at his babies and show his aunt smile. If there is a mirror, he believes that his expression at this time is also Not much different from Ji Meng.
He put Xiao Jimeng casually on the table and sat down, found the old clothes left by the people before him, and prepared to cut a new one for him. He is still wearing a shabby rookie suit. When he grows up as a teenager, his trousers will become shorts, which will damage the image of the prince.
The lights in the shelter were mostly off due to lack of electricity. Under the dimly colored desk lamp, Ling Xiaolu focused on cutting and mending. Ji Meng, who had been gesticulating nearby, also rarely quieted down, his eyes fell on Ling Xiaolu’s serious side face. It’s hard to imagine such a peaceful and warm picture taking place in an apocalyptic refuge. At this moment, there are no zombies and no other human beings. There are only two of them left in the entire world, relying on each other for life, and everyone is unique to each other.
It would be great if time could stand still at this moment.
Ling Xiaolu didn’t know Ji Meng’s psychological activities at the moment. Sewing clothes was a complicated job, and the uncle had not taught him. He just relied on the game instructions to make his first finished product, and his sense of accomplishment was overwhelming.
“How is it? This is the dragon robe sewed by the father himself!” By coincidence, Ling Xiaolu found out that this old tooling was yellow, and the dried oil and blood stains on it could barely disguise the dragon pattern.
When Ji Meng put on the work clothes made by Ling Xiaolu, the words “the line in the hands of a loving mother” came to mind. He shook his head quickly and threw away this terrible idea. It was already stupid to force him to recognize his father, and Ling Xiaolu actually wanted to be a father and a mother.
“Do you like it?” Ling Xiaolu kept his face straight when he saw him, thinking that Ji Meng was dissatisfied with this one-piece tooling. But it’s no wonder he, the style of clothing in the game is not his control.
Xiao Jimeng curled his lips and gave the highest evaluation he could give: “It’s okay.”
In Ling Xiaolu’s mind, a teenager Ji Meng was wearing a piece of overalls, holding a wrench, and his greasy face was full of Tsundere——
——”I have fixed the plumbing. Can you lighten it when I shower next time, dad!”
Ling Xiaolu happily covered his chest, he finally knew why someone was keen to develop games!
At a glance, Ji Meng knew that Ling Xiaolu was thinking about strange things, but he couldn’t ask, he might be even more angry if he asked.
Ling Xiaolu woke up, remembering that there was still work to be done.
“You are at home obediently, I will wait to pick up waste…”
Before he finished speaking, Ji Meng became nervous: “Are you going to leave me here alone?”
He is not nervous about himself, the outside world is dangerous, and how many people have never returned. He finally found Ling Xiaolu, but he was not allowed to commit a risk.
“I’m still a kid!” He even moved his age out to stop each other.
“Don’t be afraid, the shelter is safe.”
“If it’s safe, how did the previous people die?”
“…” Ling Xiaolu was speechless to answer.
He can only reason with the children: “If I don’t go out looking for food, what shall we eat?”
“I’ve checked. Just save a little grain here, and it will be enough for the two of us to last a long time.”
As for things that are long in the future, wait a long time before deciding.
Ling Xiaolu couldn’t convince him: “Then…”
There was movement outside the door.
“what sound?”
Unlike the sound of zombies coming, Ling Xiaolu opened the door cautiously.
A strange child saw the door opened and squeezed in desperately: “I finally found you!”
Ling Xiaolu: “Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important is that I eat less, I am very capable, know how to repair electrical appliances, I can trap and catch mice, and I can peel and dry mice. I will help my family with many things. Please keep me! “
Ling Xiaolu looked at Ji Meng helplessly, spreading his hands: “This is definitely not enough food.”
Ji Meng encountered a difficult 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 guarded him, “He is also my child, your brother, how can you throw it out?”
The knock on the door sounded again, and this time two children came.
Ling Xiaolu: Twins? ?
The three newcomers recognize each other in front of them:
“You also watched the live broadcast?”
“Yeah, I died six times before being reincarnated here!”
“I died seven times!”
“But it’s all worth it, we are finally reborn in the emperor’s house!”
Ling Xiaolu:? ? ?
The three shook hands excitedly: “Brother Erhuang!”
“Sister Three Emperors! Brother Four Emperors! You have worked hard!”
Xiao Ji blew her hair out of anger: “Look! I told you to kick them out!”
“How can you do this?” Ling Xiaolu taught him, “Even if he was born in the emperor’s house, it is now the end of the world. Brothers and sisters must support each other, and you can’t always think about the palace fight!”
“Father is right!” The third child strongly agreed, “Dad, I will repair all kinds of tooling and armor, you keep me down and promise not to lose!”
The fourth child is also desperate to show his loyalty: “Although my work ability is not as strong as my brothers and sisters, I can sing, tell jokes, and have an active atmosphere. The most important thing is to maintain a positive heart at the end of the day, isn’t it!”
“Don’t worry!” Ling Xiaolu gave them peace of mind, “Regardless of whether you will or not, I will work hard to raise each of you!”
If Xiao Jimeng wasn’t too short, he would have to step forward and shake his cheap dad who could not help himself. As the only adult in the refuge, it is already very difficult to feed one, so Ling Xiaolu actually needs to raise a nest!
He closed his eyes with anger, and when he opened his eyes, he noticed that the angle of view had become much higher.
Ling Xiaolu looked at him in surprise: “You’ve grown up!”
The teenager Ji Meng unknowingly grew up into a teenager Ji Meng. He was taller, his arms and legs were thinner, and his face was delicate, just like a developing teenager.
Seeing that he personally took him from a little doll to a little handsome guy, there is no reason for Ling Xiaolu not to work hard, his heart is full of motivation at the moment!
“Your eldest brother can already do housework and take care of you. Dad will go out to pick up waste and try to pick up more useful things and come back!”
“Good dad!”
“Be careful, dad!”
Now that Ji Meng couldn’t stop it, if Ling Xiaolu didn’t go out, a few of them could only starve to death here.
“You can go out, you can’t go too far, don’t come into direct contact with the zombies, you must come back before dark.” Ji Meng turned on the old mother mode.
“I know,” Ling Xiaolu smiled and broke his head, and kissed Ji Meng’s forehead very naturally, “I will leave the house to you.”
Ji Meng went silent for a moment, and his younger brothers and sisters were whispering.
“Dad is my prince brother.”
“The prince brother blushed.”
“Can Dad give me a kiss too?”
Ji Meng glared fiercely, and the three of them were also dumbed for an instant. Sure enough, the dumbing had a chain effect.
Ling Xiaolu left, giving Ji Meng a house of work, and three children who couldn’t do anything except eat.
Ji Meng has never encountered such a difficult challenge in his lifetime. Those jobs that seem to be familiar to Ling Xiaolu, only when he started to find that the difficulty was beyond his imagination.
He didn’t care about that after doing this, thinking about the safety of Ling Xiaolu, but the three cumbersomes were still gnawing on the bread and pointing the country.
“The water in the pot is about to overflow, prince brother.”
“The fuel is almost gone, prince brother.”
“The bread is burnt, prince brother.”
“Wow! Shut me up!” Ji Meng roared, wishing to throw the three noisy little boys outside to feed the zombies.
The little boys were grieved and grieved. In the live broadcast, Dad clearly didn’t treat the prince brother like that. He is gentle but patient. Why is his brother not like his own?
When Ji Meng was on the verge of collapse, Ling Xiaolu finally came back, but he was also stunned. The originally organized refuge was in a mess-flour was spilled on the floor, a suspicious smell of burning came from the stove, the kettle They are all empty, and the light bulbs are off and on.
“What happened? Are the zombies coming?” He asked in a panic.
The three children quietly pointed their little fingers at the culprit. This was the most terrifying zombie in the entire apocalypse.
Ji Meng messed up the housework and was full of anger, but finally saw Ling Xiaolu return safely. He was about to let go of a hanging heart, but his eyes widened because of the “things” held by Ling Xiaolu’s two hands.
“You, didn’t you go out to pick up waste? What did you pick up!” He looked like he saw a zombie.
Ling Xiaolu held a child in one hand: “Are they two? I just picked it up at the door. Here, let me introduce to you. This is your eldest brother, second brother, third sister, and fourth brother. Welcome to join our big family. .”
“Good brothers and sisters! Good morning, prince brother!”
“Welcome to Little Five and Little Six!”
Ji Meng had a headache and was about to explode: “Our family has enough children, can you stop picking it up!”
Picking up two at a time, do you think there are not enough mouths to eat? !
Ling Xiaolu walked in happily: “Don’t worry, I have gained a lot from this trip.”
He opened the dirty and old backpack: “Look, these are the cans and compressed biscuits I found in the abandoned supermarket, enough for all of us!”
“Wow! Dad is amazing!”
“I love your father!”
The immature children’s voices one after another.
“Even if it’s enough, it’s only enough for one meal. Don’t you still have to go out looking for food later? If you don’t have so many mouths, you don’t have to go out to take risks!”
The newcomer Xiaowu Xiao6 cried: “The prince brother don’t drive us away, we promise to eat only a little bit! Let’s drink some water!”
“…You guys, the actors!”
Ling Xiaolu calmed the angry Ji Meng: “Don’t be irritable, think about what we lack the most now, is it food? It’s population! Although the initial stage is a bit difficult, but you see, the second and third are going to be soon. When you grow up, you can help your family with work.”
The named child straightened out proudly.
“In the future, when everyone grows up, this refuge will have a lot of labor. Why can’t it develop? You too, the emperor, handed this piece of land into my hands, hoping that I can lead it to prosperity again. I can’t live up to it. His nurturing grace!”
Even if Ling Xiaolu made sense, Ji Meng couldn’t be happy.
“Okay, okay,” Ling Xiaolu comforted him, “Time is running out, you guys eat and drink enough, take a good look at the house, I will find something to eat back. Uh… those housework, if you can’t do it, don’t do it. . “If you don’t do anything, it looks better.
“Daddy go slowly!”
“Dad, watch out for zombies!”
Ling Xiaolu waved his hand at the cute children before opening the safety door, but he was heavily closed by another force.
He turned around puzzledly, and the adult Ji Meng put his hand on the door, looking like he was slamming Ling Xiaolu into his arms.
Ling Xiaolu blinked. He was still a handsome teenager in the last second. How could he not be cute in a blink of an eye?
Is the truth about growing up so cruel?
However, more cruelty is yet to come.
“Take it off!”
Ling Xiaolu:?
“I will let you take it 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, let me stay here to take care of these chicken cubs, I would rather go outside and die!”
