Chapter 577 Through the Vortex
Chapter 577 Through the Vortex
"I'm not craving spicy food." Mr. Tang had a wicked smile on his face and picked up the freshly cooked beef and ate it with relish: "Mm, delicious!"
"..." Gai Ye was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Tang Ye fiercely. He started to eat meat with a snort. As he smelled the chili in the air, Gai Ye kept drooling.
Unfortunately, until the end, he didn't get to eat a single bite of the spicy hot pot he had been craving for.
The banquet was a great success. Everyone was a little staggering when they left. Fu Ling could only take out his homemade stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets and give one to each person to help them digest.
"Sister-in-law! Do you have any more of this? Give me some more. I usually eat too fast and my stomach always feels bloated."
As soldiers, the first thing they care about is speed. They have long developed the habit of eating quickly and can basically finish a meal in a few minutes.
In fact, this puts a great burden on the human body and is very likely to cause diseases such as esophageal cancer.
Fu Ling fished out a bottle from his pocket: "Just take one after dinner. There are probably more than a hundred pills in it, enough for you to use for a while. It has no side effects, so you can use it with confidence, Brother Cheng."
She didn't give any instructions, and even if she did, they might not listen.
Cheng Guohua took it excitedly, grinning from ear to ear: "Thank you, sister-in-law! I'll invite you to my house next time. Your sister-in-law's cooking skills may not be as good as yours, but she's still one of the best in our area."
"Okay! I'll definitely visit you when I have time."
"Lingling! When you come back, you must come to my house for a visit." Sister Cheng took over Cheng Guohua's invitation.
"Okay sister-in-law, I will definitely go!"
"Old Cheng! Let's continue next time! We didn't have enough fun playing today."
It is easiest to build deep friendships at the mahjong table. Lu Beifeng and Cheng Guohua are now so close that they can even wear the same underwear.
"Okay! Bring your wife and kids to my house tomorrow when you're free."
"Okay! I'll definitely go!"
After a few more pleasantries, Fu Ling and the others saw off the last wave of guests...
In the Realm Pearl, Xuanyuan Gen finally couldn't contain his excitement and told Fu Ling about what happened today: "When I first met your parents, I really thought my father, the emperor, and my mother had come back to life. They really look so much alike."
Sure enough, Fu Ling didn't show any surprise. "Do you think this is weird?"
Xuanyuan Gen nodded, revealing a strangeness in his words: "There is a plan in the dark. I was reborn here and met you by chance. It is definitely not accidental. Everything is connected."
"Alright, don't overthink it. This time, returning to the Xuanyuan Dynasty with you, we might find something unexpected, or even solve a mystery that has been bothering us for so long. Go to bed early, Your Majesty. I think we'll be at your house by the time we come back tomorrow. Don't let your imagination run wild, and rest up."
After saying that, he pulled Lu Beichen and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Gen.
"and many more!"
The two men stopped and looked at Xuanyuan Gen in confusion.
Xuanyuan Gen bowed to the two of them. "Thank you for today! You've allowed me to experience the true meaning of family and friendship, to eat food far more delicious than delicacies from land and sea, and to experience the joy of playing mahjong... I'm very happy with everything today. Thank you!"
Fu Ling shrugged and smiled, "You're welcome. We've met after a thousand years, this is fate. And we should be friends, right? Here, friends don't need to say thank you."
"Friends?" After a moment of stunned silence, Xuanyuan Gen smiled knowingly and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, we are friends."
"That's right~ Go to bed early and don't stay up too late watching TV series. We have important things to do tomorrow."
"Okay! Good night!" Xuanyuan Gen.
"Haha, you learn really fast. Good night." She disappeared from the spot with Lu Beichen.
The next day, the family members were seeing them off at the door. In order to see them off, Fu's mother and Lu's mother delayed going to the store.
Fu Ling realized what maternal love was. The trunk was stuffed to the brim, and even the back seat was not spared, with snacks for the two of them to eat on the road.
Mother Lu glanced at Lu Beichen in annoyance and said, "I didn't expect you were planning to drive to Shencheng. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I would have prepared more food for you."
"Mom, the car is full, isn't that enough? There are even six insulated lunch boxes... that's more than enough."
Fu Ling was a little amused and helpless. Mother Lu was worried that they wouldn't have enough to eat on the road, so she cooked three dishes and a soup herself and packed them into six insulated lunch boxes.
"Oh, that's not enough. Forget it, you guys have to leave now. It's too late to say anything now. ... Remember not to drive while tired. If you get tired, find a place to rest. Then continue on your journey after you've had enough sleep. Second brother, don't tire Lingling out on this journey. Let her rest well. You can drive the car."
"I know, Mom." Alas! In his mother's eyes, he had no status and no say, and Lu Beichen had long been accustomed to it.
"Even if Lingling feels sorry for you, I can't do that!"
Fu Ling smiled at Lu Beichen with a gloating look on his face.
"Sister Lu, please don't spoil Lingling. It's fine for the two of you to take turns driving on the road. The journey is long, and it would be so tiring for Beichen to drive alone!" Mother Fu said with a disapproving tone, standing up to defend her good son-in-law.
Lu Beichen curled the corners of his lips slightly and raised his eyebrows at Fu Ling: Look, I still have a status in front of my mother-in-law.
"Lingling, did you hear that?"
"I know, Mom." Now it was her turn to sigh. This was her real mother.
After saying goodbye to everyone, the two got into the car.
"Beichen, drive slowly and be careful on the road." They reminded him one by one.
"I understand, everyone. Goodbye. I'll be back after I finish things over there!" Fu Ling rolled down the window and waved goodbye to everyone.
The car quickly left the alley. Mother Lu sighed, "Fortunately, Sanbao is in class. If they had to watch their parents leave, how sad they would be..."
He drove the car to a deserted place and disappeared on the spot with the car and the man.
After getting out of the car, Fu Ling first put all the things in the car into the space.
Lu Beichen extended his hand towards Fu Ling, his lips curled up slightly: "Wife, are you ready?"
Fu Ling handed the person to him and smiled sweetly: "Of course!"
In an instant, the two arrived at the vortex.
Since no zombies have been dealt with in the past few days, the enclosed space has already been filled with zombies, including men, women, young and old.
Fu Ling took out two sets of simple oxygen masks from the space and put them on.
Before entering the vortex, Lu Beichen mobilized the will of the space pendant to wipe out all the zombies, and then rushed into the vortex with his wife.
Fearing that something might happen inside, the two men's hands were handcuffed together.
The vortex was pitch black, as if they were in an ink painting. The two of them quickened their pace and tried to get through it as quickly as possible.
At this moment, more than a dozen zombies rushed towards them. They must have not eaten for a long time and were all starving.
Faced with these monsters, the two men took out the Starlight Sword without hesitation and eliminated all the zombies rushing towards them.
Perhaps it is because they can sense the breath of living people that they keep encountering zombies.
