Lu Wanan looked at his wife, whom he had been with for more than twenty years and had worked so hard to marry, with a flash of heartache in his eyes.
Zhao Di looked at the corpse downstairs in horror, as if she saw some man-eating monster. Her body was trembling with fear, and she kept retreating under her feet.
"A Di..." Lu Wanan let go of Zhao Di's arm.
He opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw his wife crying, all words were blocked in his throat.
Lu Wan'an felt very irritable and uneasy, and he couldn't bear to be cruel to his wife anymore, so he turned around and walked away.
As soon as he let go, Zhao Di's body became weak and fell to the ground.
Seeing her husband leaving, she burst into tears, as helpless as a child.
Lu Xiaohui lived in the opposite room. Hearing his mother's cry, he opened the door and rushed out.
The father and son opened the door at the same time and looked at each other.
Lu Wanan was the first to speak: "Xiaohui, go see your mother, she is scared."
"Tsk!" Lu Xiaohui, who was only seventeen years old, showed a trace of impatience on his rebellious face, and curled his lips and said: "You bullied your mother to tears, why don't you go and comfort her yourself."
As he spoke, he acted quickly, rushing into his parents' room in the blink of an eye.
Lu Wanan stood at the door, watching his son lift his wife up from the ground and coaxing her softly.
He touched the tip of his nose with some guilt and thought to himself, next time he has a bad temper, he can't appear in front of his wife again.
Just when he was feeling regretful, the lights in the corridor went out.
power cut.
Lu Tianxi's dream was verified again.
downstairs.
Just as Lu Tianxi sorted out the list, the living room fell into darkness.
Lu Yiwen held the list of betrayers in her hand and turned her head to look out the window. Several mansions around her were also plunged into darkness.
She smiled bitterly and said, "The power really went out. Did the water also stop?"
The man sitting next to Lu Tianxi called out in the darkness: "Sister-in-law He!"
"Fourth Master?"
Aunt He's response came from the kitchen.
Lu Shirong asked in a deep voice: "Is the water cut off?"
Sister-in-law He quickly responded: "Fourth Master, the water supply at home has been cut off."
Lu Tianxi took out his mobile phone, and the signal in the upper right corner of the screen disappeared.
She said softly: "The cell phone signal is out of service."
There was a water and power outage, no network signal, and no way to contact the outside world.
The survivors in Nanhuai City were shrouded in darkness. In such an extreme environment, everyone fell into panic.
If they knew there were no rescuers, they would do anything.
Lu Lin, who was standing by the window, felt heavy and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, I sent the message before.
Next, let’s see who among the security personnel raised by the Lu family is loyal and who is traitorous. "
While Lu Tianxi was sorting out the list, Lu Lin had already notified the Lu family's bodyguards one by one, asking them to rush to the north of the city and be on standby.
That will be the gathering place for the Lu family in the last days.
This was a decision made by several elders in the family after discussion.
The land in the north of Nanhuai City belongs to the Lu family, and everything they do is justified.
Lu Shirong turned on the screen of his mobile phone. The interface displayed a message indicating that the message he had just sent was successful. The corners of his lowered lips rose slightly.
In the darkness, Lu Tianxi took out several lights from the space, and a beam of strong light shone on the balcony area.
Lu Shirong, Lu Lin, and Lu Yiwen were instantly trapped in the light.
Lu Yiwen stepped forward: "Tianxi, you actually have a light!"
Lu Tianxi handed her one of the lights: "Because of what happened in the dream, I started preparing before."
She gave Lu Shirong and Lu Lin each a lighting lamp, and said with a smile: "There are generators, solar panels, and batteries upstairs."
These things cost her a lot of money, but now that she can use them, they are worth the money.
Lu Yiwen hugged Lu Tianxi's thin shoulders, held her in her arms and ravaged her, and said with a smile: "You are such a lucky little star!"
She seems to have never been affected by the apocalypse from the beginning, and her ability to accept it is particularly strong.
But Lu Tianxi knew that her cousin was not a talkative person.
She talks more today than usual.
Lu Shirong turned on the light in his hand, stood up and called others: "Come upstairs."
The balcony has been flooded by the water that has spread into the living room, and the water under my feet is deeper than the top of my shoes.
The four of them walked towards the stairs under the water, and heard Mrs. He in the kitchen talking: "What to do with tonight's meal? The dishes in the pot are half-cooked..."
Hearing this, Lu Tianxi shouted to the kitchen: "Sister-in-law He, there is electricity upstairs for cooking."
Mrs. He moved the kitchen utensils with others, knowing that cooking could be done upstairs.
She just feels sorry for the food in the pot. If she continues to fry it in another pot, the taste will lose its soul.
Sister-in-law He felt pity in her heart and replied respectfully: "I know Miss Tianxi."
As for the arrival of the end of the world, it will not have much impact on her.
She has been cooking for the Lu family all her life. As long as she lives for one day, she has to cook for her master's family.
In this area of mansions and villas, several houses had their lights on, and one of them was the Lu family.
Tonight, the Lu family's dinner was later than usual, but what was rare was that the whole family was together.
Yun Hao suddenly appeared and broke the warmth.
Everyone in the Lu family had just sat down at the makeshift dining table and was about to start eating when Yun Hao appeared.
He stood behind Lu Tianxi, staring eagerly at the food on the table.
Lu Shirong sat next to Lu Tianxi, staring at the man who was filled with evil aura and had a cold temperament.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a gentle tone: "Xiao Xi, who is this?"
Lu Tianxi met her younger cousin, received a questioning look from her father, and said vaguely: "His name is Yun Hao, he is my new friend."
She didn't want to lie, and she didn't know how to explain it. She just wanted to get through it.
Lu Xiaohui, the youngest at the dinner table, asked in a playful tone: "Sister Tianxi, is he your boyfriend?"
Lu Tianxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, a hint of smile flashed in his eyes, and it disappeared briefly.
Seeing that the elders of the Lu family looked worried and looked at Yun Hao critically, they were obviously as misunderstood as their cousin.
She quickly explained: "No, they are just friends, the kind you can trust."
Yun Hao is a character she summoned from the apocalyptic infrastructure system. The other party will obey her unconditionally and there is no possibility of betrayal.
As a father, Lu Wanliang didn't like Yun Hao no matter how he looked at him.
At this time, Mrs. He came over with a pot of steaming beef soup.
There might be water on the ground, so her foot slipped and a pot of soup flew towards the dining table.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Yun Hao caught the hot pot bottom with his bare hands, a glimmer of joy flashed in his cold eyes.
Lu Xiaohui, who was sitting opposite, saw him catching the pot, his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "You don't want your hand anymore?!"
The bottom of the pot turned red due to the high temperature, and Mrs. He had to use heat-resistant gloves when handling the pot of broth.
Yun Hao just caught the hot pot with his bare hands, shocking everyone in the Lu family.
Everyone stared at the hand under the pot, and they could all imagine the tragic situation of the flesh and blood on Yun Hao's hand sticking to the pot.
However, this is not the case.
Yun Hao smelled the aroma of broth wafting out of the pot, swallowed uneasily, and carefully placed the pot in the center of the dining table.
Looking at his hands, they were intact, not even a single burn blister.
