Soon, Nie Yizhou realized what that smell was.
Because as soon as Lu Chen had finished cleaning the bathroom, Yun Xiaoxiao refilled it with water and told him to go soak.
"Oh god, has my body been invaded by impurities? Damn, this smell is way too foul!"
He groaned in a low voice.
"Ugh~ I'm going to pass out from my own stench, ugh~"
He retched repeatedly, almost blacking out.
He quickly rinsed himself clean with fresh water, put on a pair of boxers, and ran out clutching his clothes as if fleeing for his life.
Once outside, he panted and took several deep breaths of fresh air before putting on the rest of his clothes.
"Eww~ did you jump into a cesspool? You smell like manure all over after taking a bath."
Just then, Xiao Feng, who had just woken up from a nap, glanced at him sideways with a disgusted look on his face.
Nie Yizhou immediately jumped up, "You're the one who jumped in a cesspool! You're the one who smells like manure all over!"
"Hmph~"
Xiao Feng rolled his eyes, snorted, and walked towards the door.
"Hey, stop right there! What do you mean by that 'hmph'? Explain yourself!"
"It doesn't mean anything."
"What do you mean it doesn't mean anything?!"
"It means hurry up and clean the damn bathroom, are you trying to stink everyone to death?!"
Nie Yizhou: ......
Inside the house.
Yun Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a smile.
She discovered that ever since she had talked with Lu Chen, his intimacy level with her had skyrocketed, as if riding a rocket, directly reaching the peak of 100%!
Nie Yizhou's level had also jumped from 99% to 100% during his bath just now!
Now her system's self-service vending machine showed that she had fourteen points!
Without hesitation, she spent ten points to purchase a bottle of level-two evolution liquid.
As soon as the payment was successful, a small bottle appeared in her palm.
Grinning, she immediately bounced over to Lu Chen's room.
"Big brother!"
She intended to give this bottle of evolution liquid to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's current strength was at the high end of level two, and he had just soaked in the spirit spring water, improving his constitution.
With a bottle of level-two evolution liquid, he would definitely be able to break through to level three in one go!
It wasn't that she was reluctant to give it to Nie Yizhou, but right now, improving the team's overall combat power was more crucial.
Both of Lu Chen's special abilities had powerful attacking power, so raising his strength first was for the benefit of the entire team.
Moreover, now that their intimacy levels with her were both at 100%, they would accumulate ten points every day.
In other words, she could purchase another new level-two evolution liquid tomorrow.
She could give that one to Nie Yizhou then.
After handing the evolution liquid to Lu Chen, Yun Xiaoxiao took out some necessary supplies from her space and put them in this room, to prevent Xiao Feng from becoming suspicious if he saw they had no supplies but plenty of food.
She even specifically brought out several sets of men's clothing and socks.
Because she noticed that Lu Chen and Nie Yizhou seemed to only have one set of clothes each.
Lu Chen's clothes even had a hole from being shot.
Although the apocalypse didn't require being too particular about appearance.
But how could anyone following her, Yun Xiaoxiao, wear tattered clothes!
They must be bright, clean, and tidy!
When Lu Chen saw Yun Xiaoxiao taking out new clothes and shoes, his eyes flickered slightly.
He said, "Thank you."
Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head disapprovingly.
"Big brother, don't say 'thank you' anymore, okay? We don't need to be so formal with each other."
"...Alright."
After closing the door, Yun Xiaoxiao walked out to the courtyard.
Nie Yizhou was using two wads of paper to plug his nostrils while rinsing the bathroom with well water.
But from outside the gate came the sound of chickens clucking.
She curiously walked over.
She saw Xiao Feng chasing two chickens through the cabbage patch outside.
I have to say, those two roosters were quite fast.
Several times Xiao Feng almost caught them, but they always managed to slip away.
No wonder the old lady zombie hadn't eaten these two chickens before.
Probably that old lady zombie was willing but unable.
And this place was in a remote location, with the nearest house quite far away, so other zombies probably hadn't found their way here yet.
The fact that these two chickens had survived until now was also lucky.
"Cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck~"
"Cluck cluck~ cluck cluck cluck~"
The two roosters flapped their wings triumphantly, scattering in all directions, spewing chicken feathers all over Xiao Feng's face.
"Damn it, if I don't stew you two today, I'll change my surname!"
Xiao Feng spat out a feather, cursing and swearing like an enraged lion.
He chased after the two roosters fiercely, looking somewhat ridiculous and funny.
Yun Xiaoxiao took out a handful of sunflower seeds, happily munching on them while watching the show.
Finally, after an enormous effort, Xiao Feng managed to catch the two chickens.
He held them by their legs, dangling them upside down in front of him, giving them a harsh scolding.
"Let's see you run now, huh?! You still ended up caught by your grandpa here, and you dare to peck me? Think you're tough, do you?!"
Just as he finished scolding the chickens, he noticed Yun Xiaoxiao watching him like it was a spectacle.
He frowned and sneered at Yun Xiaoxiao.
"Hey shorty, what are you looking at? Never seen someone catch chickens before?"
Shorty!
Yun Xiaoxiao immediately bristled.
She might be short, but you can't say she's short!
Otherwise, you're dead! For sure!
She quickly stuffed the sunflower seeds into her pocket.
Her round, big eyes stared at Xiao Feng with an unpredictable gaze.
In the next second, a vine as thick as a wrist suddenly shot out from her palm with a 'whoosh', quickly sweeping towards Xiao Feng.
It wrapped around Xiao Feng's entire body, suspending him upside down.
Yun Xiaoxiao moved so fast that Xiao Feng had no time to react.
He also hadn't expected a five-year-old child to have such a terrifying ability, so he hadn't prepared any defense at all.
Besides, even if he had been prepared, as a high-level tier one, he was no match for someone at the initial stage of tier three.
The vine dangled him in mid-air.
His hands were still clutching the two roosters.
The scene was both pathetic and a bit comical.
"Hey, shorty, why are you tying me up?!"
"Because I feel like it."
Yun Xiaoxiao leaned against the doorframe, leisurely munching on sunflower seeds again.
Her tone was casual, as if she were simply commenting on the nice weather.
Xiao Feng struggled violently for a few moments, but found he couldn't break free.
He tried to use fire to burn through the vine.
But the fire nearly roasted him instead!
Xiao Feng: !!
"Hey, shorty, what did I do to offend you?! You're too weird, getting angry just like that. The ancient saying is true, women and children are the hardest to deal with, especially when combined!"
Xiao Feng furrowed his brows in frustration.
Hearing his voice, Nie Yizhou curiously ran out.
Seeing Xiao Feng suspended in the air, he immediately got excited, removed the two wads of paper from his nostrils, and burst into laughter without any regard for his image.
"Holy crap! Hahahahaha, you little punk, are you trying to be a flying superhero? Is the air up there nice and fresh?"
He turned to look at Yun Xiaoxiao, giving her a thumbs up.
"Nice work, kiddo!"
