Immortal in The Apocalypse

After hearing Zhu Lin’s answer, Xiu Wu glanced at the sword placed on the low table.

Seeing him looking at her sword, Zhu Lin said, "Bing Jian’s soul was injured when I failed in my lightning tribulation, and his true body also had several cracks. Last night, I successfully healed his soul, and this morning I tried to repair his body. Who knew he had such a hot temper that he would make a fuss over trivial matters."

After hearing her explanation, Xiu Wu stared at her and thought to himself: ’You said you just repaired your sword. But why does it look like your sword spirit has been drugged by an aphrodisiac?’

Zhu Lin seemed to know what he was thinking at this moment. She chuckled and said, "For Bing Jian, sword repairing powder has the same effects as yellow spring powder. If the owner is not careful, they could be devoured by their sword spirit in the process."

Hearing this, Xiu Wu looked at her and asked worriedly: "You know everything, but you still do it alone? Why didn’t you wait for me before repairing your sword?"

Sensing his worry, Zhu Lin stopped eating and turned to look at him. Looking at the frown on his handsome face, she shook her head and said calmly: "There is no way that Bing Jian would devour me."

Seeing how confident she was, Xiu Wu frowned deeper and said, "How can you be sure that your sword won’t devour you?"

Zhu Lin tilted her head slightly and said, "Because Bing Jian was forged out of my true form. He is a part of me, so he cannot disobey my orders and cannot devour me. After I die, Bing Jian will disappear at the same time. If he died, I could still live. But if I die, there will be no way for him to live. Moreover, even if he has the ability and strength, Bing Jian will not be so desperate to court death and devour me."

After saying this, Zhu Lin calmly picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiu Wu’s bowl, and said, "Eat it quickly before it gets cold."

Xiu Wu looked at her for a long time before he sighed helplessly. He then picked up the chopsticks, picked up the piece of meat from his bowl, and started eating.

After breakfast, the two of them went out to buy ore again, while Tu Tu and the little zombie went out to collect more supplies. When they were busy collecting supplies, ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ten days later, when Zhu Lin woke up, she saw Ji Yang and Tan Wei eating in the living room. Seeing her coming out of the bedroom, the two of them greeted her. She sat down in front of them and said, "It’s rare for you two to come so early. What are you going to do today?"

Ji Yang swallowed and said, "Today we are going to the resort area to start the wall construction. We are here to inform you and Lao Xiu about this."

Tan Wei nodded and said, "Lao Yang and I are going to stay there with the workers. We plan to ask Lao Xiu to go with us. With him there, not many people dare to make trouble."

After hearing what they said, Zhu Lin thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I will go with you two, too. Since you are going there, I am going to move to the resort area today."

Just when she said that, the children walked out of their rooms. They looked at Zhu Lin silently until Tu Tu came out. Seeing the children just staring at her like this, Zhu Lin tilted her head slightly and asked, "What’s wrong?"

The oldest boy exchanged glances with the other children for a few seconds, then stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to leave us behind?"

Zhu Lin found the boy nervously grabbing the hem of his shirt. She looked at the other children and found that they were all looking at her nervously. After a moment of silence, Zhu Lin looked at the seven-year-old boy and asked, "Do you want to go with us?"

Hearing her question, the boy nodded quickly and said, "We want to follow you."

Seeing the children nodding like chickens pecking at rice, Zhu Lin smiled and said, "Very good. Let’s go to the resort area together today."

Listening to what she said, the children couldn’t hide their joy and started whispering between themselves. Not long after, Xiu Wu came out of the kitchen carrying two plates of breakfast.

He sat next to Zhu Lin, placed her breakfast in front of her, and said, "We will set off after breakfast."

After he said that, the four of them hurriedly finished their breakfast, while Tu Tu fed the children. An hour later, when the sun finally rose over the eastern horizon, Zhu Lin had vacated her apartment. When they left the apartment with the children, they met Meng Zhelan and Wen Na in the apartment building lobby.

Seeing that Zhu Lin and the others were all wearing their ice silk cloaks including the children, Meng Zhelan said, "Good morning, Elder Sister Zhu Lin. Are you going out to buy ore again today?"

Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "We will start the construction of our base in the resort area two hundred kilometers away from here. If you want to sell ore to me or buy supplies, you can go to the resort area to find us."

Hearing what she said, Meng Zhelan and Wen Na were both very surprised. They never expected Zhu Lin and the others to buy those ores to build their own base.

Thinking of the distance between the resort area and this military base, the two of them looked at each other. Seeing each other’s expressions, the two best friends knew there was no way they were going back and forth between two bases just to sell ore.
