Chapter 741 Finally Here
During his training, Long Ruilin had also fought against these evil creatures.
After the battle, the scene he saw was quite similar to the scene after killing zombies in the doomsday. It was a mess and devastation, which was unbearable to look at and made people feel sick.
Therefore, when looking at those photos, Long Ruilin was still able to remain calm and composed.
However, he also quietly avoided other people. After all, they had just stopped him from looking at the photos on the grounds of avoiding the children, so he might as well not let them find out that he was looking at the photos.
However, Long Ruilin supported his chin and carefully observed the expressions of those people. He found that there was a hint of uneasiness between their brows, which was obviously affected by the many photos.
He thought that they would probably have nightmares after they returned.
Thinking of this, Long Ruilin sighed helplessly. Since they were so happy today, he decided to give them a hand.
He quietly took out a green leaf from the space. The leaf was shining with a faint light, as if it contained some mysterious power.
Very beautiful.
Just as Long Ruilin was about to deal with the things in his hands, he felt a fiery gaze cast on him. He knew who it was without turning around. It must be Ali.
This guy Ali has an extraordinary sensitivity to any good thing. It's like he has a small radar installed on his body, and nothing can escape him.
Sometimes, Long Ruilin couldn't help thinking that if he went to explore the secret realm in the future, he would bring Ali with him and he would definitely plunder all the treasures inside.
After all, he really admired Ali's inexplicable intuition about good things, which was comparable to that of a treasure-hunting rat.
Long Ruilin ignored it and automatically blocked the gaze. He gently tore off a small piece of the leaf and threw it into the air.
Afterwards, the small leaf slowly dissipated into the air, and was then controlled by Long Ruilin to fly towards Rong Yu and the other three.
This is the leaf of the Asoka tree, which has the effect of purifying the mind and eliminating negative emotions, just as its name suggests.
Long Ruilin wanted to use this small piece of leaf to dispel the impact of the photos on them. At least they would not have nightmares late at night, and then they would slowly forget about the matter.
Lu Xi did not look at those photos. The system still held the same idea as when it first received the photos and was determined not to let her come into contact with such content.
After all, the host had never experienced such a scene before, and had never even seen a dead person. Those fragmented and discolored tissue blocks would be a huge psychological shock to her.
The system was worried that after seeing these, she would likely have nightmares for several nights in a row, which would lead to a series of chain reactions such as loss of appetite.
He couldn't afford the consequences of this, or he would be beaten by Longlong.
So forget it, I won’t test Lu Xi’s psychological quality, let her think whatever she wants.
No matter how hard she thought, it was still within the limited range of her memory, and she couldn't think of anything, so she felt relieved.
The people around the table, those who had looked at the photo and those who had not, were all silent.
Rong Yu and the others said that they were affected by the leaves of the Worry-Free Tree and their thinking was a little slow. As for Lu Xi, it was simply that she just didn't want to talk.
After the excitement just now, she wanted to take a break and wait for guests to come.
As the person in charge over there, Jiang Momo must have many follow-up matters to deal with after just experiencing a tense battle.
What's more, those matters might be accompanied by unknown dangers, so she didn't think of urging them. She just waited for everything to be arranged before they both started today's work.
It's just that she gets off work late, which is actually okay for her. But her colleagues in the laboratory have high expectations for the materials, so they might be a little anxious.
It doesn’t matter, Lu Xi thought. She didn’t know if the last batch of cooling tea had been finished. If not, she would send another batch and make sure that after they finished drinking it, they would not have any heat at all.
"Crack~" "Crack~" The sound of cracking melon seeds came one after another, filling the entire room.
When Lu Xi saw a few people in a daze, she asked Long Ruilin about the general situation and didn't say anything.
She went straight to the shelf and picked up several different flavors of melon seeds and other various nut jellies, then impatiently unpacked these time-killing things and poured them on the table.
If conditions permit, Lu Xi would actually like to put a layer of aluminum foil on the table and imitate those college students who have dinner together at night and have some barbecue, fried food, potato chips and drinks as a midnight snack.
But there is no if.
There were people watching outside, so she couldn't enjoy herself so blatantly. She could only restrain herself a little and continue to kill time with these, and chat with everyone at the same time.
Rong Yu and the others have come back to their senses now. Even though the photos they just saw made them feel a little uncomfortable, they were influenced by Ye Zi, and their psychological training was quite strong. So they didn't have any psychological trauma and didn't think about the content of the photos anymore.
They looked normal, those who needed to drink drank, those who needed to eat ate, and those who wanted to chat continued chatting. The scene was very harmonious.
The only discordant factor at the scene came from the two children next to them.
The system was holding a piece of opened jelly and handed it to Long Ruilin with a polite look on its face, "Longlong, eat some jelly to moisten your throat."
There was a hint of flattery in his voice, but he himself seemed not to notice it.
Long Ruilin acted a little cold and just hummed softly, but still responded politely: "Thank you!"
He naturally understood what the system was planning, so he calmly accepted this "tribute".
After all, there is a small worry-free tree in his space, and the remaining half leaf is of no use to him. He will just give it to the system as a hiring fee later.
It's been a long time since I've enjoyed such attentive care from him.
Then, the system handed over the peeled macadamia nuts on the plate and said, "Longlong, eat this."
He knew that Longlong preferred to eat these nuts, and he even deliberately lowered his taste buds just to make them taste better.
Long Ruilin simply responded with "hmm" and didn't say much.
Seeing that Long Ruilin accepted his kindness, the system seemed even happier. He directly handed over the entire plate and then started peeling pine nuts on his own.
There is hope only when things are accepted. They both have a tacit understanding in this regard.
After knowing the effect of the leaf, the system wanted to experience it. After all, as a system, it also has unhappy times. He wanted to try whether it works on himself.
This scene amazed the adults present. They didn't know what was going on between the two children.
One behaves like a noble young master, while the other one is more like... a fawning lackey.
I immediately imagined a scene of a nobleman and his servant.
The adults exchanged glances and said they didn't quite understand the situation.
As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Xi, hoping that she would say something.
However, Lu Xi was a little confused now. She also had no idea what had happened between the two of them, or if there was any special Play transaction.
She shook her head silently, indicating that she didn't know what was going on, so don't look at her.
One person withdrew his gaze with regret, and then continued to look at the two people quietly.
It’s true, even though the system looks like a child now, the speed at which his little hands fiddle with things is truly amazing.
He peeled pine nuts as if he were peeling melon seeds. It was simple and easy for him to break open the hard shells.
Then, everyone saw him push a small pile of peeled pine nuts in front of Long Ruilin, and then started peeling pistachios.
In front of him were pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc., which were obviously prepared for Long Ruilin.
This scene made everyone present start to speculate that Ali must have something to ask of Long Long, otherwise why would he be so attentive.
"I'm sorry, brothers and sisters, I'm late and have wasted everyone's time." Jiang Momo walked through the time and space gate and immediately apologized sincerely to Lu Xi and the others as soon as he arrived at the supermarket.
She knew very well that she was the one who broke the appointment first. Although the delay was caused by temporary problems, she still had to apologize.
Seeing that Jiang Momo was still as polite as before, Lu Xi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The little girl was growing up so fast.
When I think back to the time when we first met, she was a little girl who didn’t dare to speak and whose eyes would turn red after she spoke a few words. Now she has grown into a leader.
While time makes people grow old, it also urges them to make progress.
Lu Xi should naturally accept the little girl's apology. After all, to some extent, Jiang Momo was indeed the one at fault.
However, she didn't intend to care too much about it, so Lu Xi smiled and responded: "It's okay, 056 has explained it to us very clearly. I'm glad you're not hurt. Just make sure you arrange your time more reasonably next time."
I have to say that Jiang Momo's time management was indeed inappropriate, and it was a bit too tight and stuck.
Because of this, she was delayed by some things, which delayed the start time of this transaction.
Although Lu Xi understood how difficult it was for the girl, she still had to maintain a businesslike attitude.
After all, what she said not only represented herself, but also the position and principles of the entire team. Therefore, she must be sensible and not let personal emotions affect the overall judgment and decision-making.
After Jiang Momo listened to Lu Xi's words, the uneasiness in her heart finally subsided, but she also knew clearly that such a broken appointment must not happen again.
So, she expressed her sincere apologies to Lu Xi again: "Thank you sister Lu for your understanding. I am really sorry for wasting your time for so long. I will make up for this mistake."
The speed of time flowing in their two dimensions is different. It is relatively faster on Jiang Momo's side. Even if she spent half a day to deal with things there, it would only take about an hour here.
However, despite this, she still has to pay the price for her mistakes.
After all, this was a helpful person that 056 had finally found for himself. The cooperation between the two parties was a win-win situation without having to owe any favors.
After a little thought, Lu Xi agreed to Jiang Momo's proposal.
In their opinion, this was not a big deal, but since the little girl wanted to show her sincerity, they naturally would not refuse, otherwise it might make her feel uneasy.
Although, this itself is not a big problem, Lu Xi and the others don’t care too much about it.
"Okay, now that you said that, how can I refuse? You can discuss the specific matters with my staff later." Lu Xi said with a smile, and then patted Jiang Momo's shoulder affectionately.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Hurry up and pack the things you need. Today I specially prepared your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and fried eggs with garlic moss, as well as the leek and pork dumplings I made myself. I'll treat you well."
"Okay, thank you sister." When Jiang Momo heard this, her eyes reddened slightly, but she still couldn't control her emotions.
Apart from her grandmother, no one else would be so careful to know what she likes to eat. In the doomsday world, it is lucky to have a stutterer, and meat is even rarer. Who would care about what she likes to eat?
Every time Jiang Momo saw Lu Xi’s gentle eyes, she felt as if she had returned to the past, and felt that she was still the little girl who had just entered the university campus, full of longing.
She knew that this might be the blessing of the environment. This quiet environment made her heart feel as if it had been baptized.
After arriving at the supermarket, Jiang Momo felt relaxed both physically and mentally. There was no cruel fighting, no intrigue, and even less those terrifying zombies that wouldn't let go.
Therefore, every time she came here, she would let down all her guard and become very relaxed. She was no longer the boss who commanded a group of people to kill zombies, nor was she the tasker who ran around to complete the task.
She would affectionately call these people she knew brother and sister, and would want to have normal communication.
Lu Xi didn't expect that just a few simple words from her could arouse the girl's emotions again.
Just now I said that people have grown up, but I didn’t expect that after growing up, I can also go back.
"Okay, get busy."
She pushed Jiang Momo's shoulder and asked her to move forward, then gave Rong Yu a look, indicating that they should take their people and get busy.
This time, Lu Xi also learned a little about the situation that Jiang Momo was about to encounter from the system.
After experiencing "man-made disasters" such as zombies and a series of small-scale "natural disasters", the humans in that land are facing an even more severe challenge - the devastation of a large-scale natural disaster.
