The group turned to look back and saw Ling Jing lying motionless on the bed, his body perfectly straight. It was as if the voice they had just heard hadn't come from him at all.
"What do you want to eat?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked.
Ling Jing stared blankly at the ceiling, his mouth opening and closing.
"Meat."
"What kind of meat?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked again.
Ling Jing: "Meat."
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
"Pfft~ This guy's dumb and dazed look is actually much more interesting than before," Nie Yizhou chuckled, hands in his pockets.
Yun Xiaoxiao took out a roast duck from her spatial storage and tore off a leg, placing it near Ling Jing's mouth.
"Eat up."
But Ling Jing just sniffed it with his nose, a look of disgust flashing across his face.
"Not fragrant."
Huh, he's even being picky now.
"How about this?" Yun Xiaoxiao took out a plate of roast goose.
"Smells bad."
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
If it weren't for the fact that he got injured while helping her catch Tong Zhan, she would have turned and left right then.
"Could it be that he wants to eat raw meat?" Xiao Feng suddenly said.
"That's actually possible. Wasn't he scratched by a zombie?" Mu Yang furrowed his brows, "Although we don't know why he didn't turn into a zombie, it's possible that he already has the zombie virus in his body. Wanting to eat raw meat like a zombie makes sense."
Hearing their words, Yun Xiaoxiao took out a piece of raw pork.
She tried placing it in front of Ling Jing, and as soon as she did, he eagerly bit into it.
"Ugh~"
"I can't take it, I need to go outside and throw up."
Nie Yizhou felt nauseous watching Ling Jing swallow the raw pork.
The expressions of Lu Chen and the others also changed slightly.
"Let me do it," Lu Chen walked over to Yun Xiaoxiao's side, intending to take the pork from her hands.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at him gratefully, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Big brother, take care!"
After saying this, she unhesitatingly dropped a few pieces of fresh pork and darted out, joining Nie Yizhou in a bout of intense vomiting.
Although Xiao Feng and Mu Yang tried their best to endure, they still inched out of the room step by step.
Their movements were so obvious that Lu Chen couldn't help but notice.
He had just regained his composure when he saw Ling Jing bite off a bloody piece of raw meat, chew it twice with a crunching sound, and gulp it down.
Lu Chen: ......
Finally, Lu Chen 'calmly' walked out of the room.
"Big brother, has Ling Jing finished eating?" Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips.
Lu Chen replied flatly, "Mm."
"I'm going back to my room first."
He left with these words and walked expressionlessly towards the upper floor.
His steps were a bit quick.
"Huh, why did Chen suddenly go back to his room?" Nie Yizhou wondered.
Mu Yang rubbed his chin, "He seemed to be in a hurry."
"He's probably trying hard to hold it in. Didn't you see how pale his face was? He's probably rushing back to his room to throw up," Xiao Feng bluntly exposed.
Lu Chen, who was just at the corner of the stairs: ......
His brow twitched slightly.
Suddenly, a surge of nausea rose from his stomach, feeling like it was about to erupt from his throat.
Lu Chen: !!!
He ran at the fastest speed of his life, directly rushing back to his room, kicking the door shut behind him, and quickly making it to the bathroom.
Then....
"Blergh~"
---
Seeing that Ling Jing had obediently closed his eyes and was sleeping, Yun Xiaoxiao and the others yawned and returned to their respective rooms.
After this little episode, everyone slept straight through until dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Yun Xiaoxiao got up from her bed.
This was the most peaceful sleep she had had in a long time.
Having her own home really made a difference.
So, she had to make this home even safer!
When she went downstairs, Mu Yang was drinking water.
And behind her, she could hear the bickering voices of Nie Yizhou and Xiao Feng.
"You say I have a chicken nest head?" Nie Yizhou gritted his teeth, "Look at your red hair, it's like a braised lion's head meatball. You have the nerve to talk about me?!"
"Still better than a chicken nest head, because a chicken nest makes people think of certain... excretions."
"......"
Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips.
Still the familiar recipe.
"Wow, Chen, you've already finished exercising this early?" Just then, Lu Chen, his hair damp with sweat, ran in from outside the villa.
Despite sweating so much, his breathing was steady, not panting at all.
"Mm." Lu Chen responded flatly, "Want to join?"
"Actually..." Nie Yizhou really wanted to say it wasn't necessary.
He still very much enjoyed communing with his bed.
But Lu Chen didn't give him a chance to refuse.
"Tomorrow morning at 6, gather downstairs on time."
Nie Yizhou: ......
Why did he have to carelessly greet him just now? He should have been an invisible, transparent person!
"Pfft..." Xiao Feng laughed schadenfreudely.
But in the next second, he received an undeniable gaze.
He turned his head towards the source of the gaze.
Then he heard Lu Chen say, "Everyone together."
Xiao Feng: !!!
Mu Yang: ......
Yun Xiaoxiao: As expected, still the same big brother, she was already used to it.
They moved a table and several chairs outside the villa.
Yun Xiaoxiao also took out a large sun umbrella from her spatial storage, and Mu Yang and the others helped to secure it.
By now, everyone was immune to Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly producing items out of nowhere.
Even if she were to pull out a large tiger one day, they could very calmly greet that tiger.
Although the mountain was still barren, sitting at the top, feeling the breeze, enjoying the morning light, drinking morning tea, and looking down at the base below, everyone's mood had never been so relaxed.
After resting for a while, Yun Xiaoxiao began loading the necessary items into the large truck.
Since the others hadn't come up the mountain, even if she took out some strange items, she could say they were originally stored on the mountain, and no one would suspect anything.
She loaded the seeds for various crops, vegetable seedlings, fruit tree saplings, pesticides, agricultural tools, and other things Feng Jin needed into the truck.
Large agricultural equipment like plows and seeders had already been placed in the parking lot earlier, so Feng Jin could use them directly when needed.
Last night, she heard Grandma Niu say she liked planting flowers, so she also took some flower seeds and the potted plants she had collected from the flower shop before.
Of course, she didn't forget the feed and tools needed for livestock and poultry.
These items alone filled up an entire large truck.
So, she took out an even bigger one from her spatial storage.
This vehicle was fully loaded with parts and tools needed for Mu Yang to modify cars.
Of course, she also brought out the car that Mu Yang had previously modified for her.
After everything was packed up, they carried the still unconscious Ling Jing from the house to the car and headed towards the hospital together.
Last night, everyone had agreed to meet here first thing in the morning.
