"Measure him for size, and prepare some clothes."
"Understood, please stand still and do not move. Measurement commencing!"
"Er Gouzi has matched suitable clothing. What style do you prefer?"
"Style? I'm not very sure. Comfortable t-shirts and jackets should be fine."
Before this, his mother used to buy him clothes, and he wore a school uniform. He hadn't developed his own style before entering the apocalypse. As long as he had something to wear, anything was fine as long as he wasn't naked.
Mi Shuangshuang: "You're so good-looking, and you have silver hair. Of course, you need to wear something cool. Let's start with two sets of dark punk style, then two sets of fluorescent green. Er Gouzi, show me the styles."
"Er Gouzi does not have a screen-casting function."
"Then just take out the clothes and we can choose!"
"I've brought the hangers. Let's hang them here and look at them one by one."
Lan Mi pushed over the clothes rack.
Er Gouzi spat out thirty dark-themed outfits, twenty pairs of sneakers, and various accessories.
Chang Kaiming picked up a skull necklace and held it up to his neck.
"Xiao Yu, change your aura. Wearing these clothes, you'll have a yandere vibe!"
"These shoes are so nice! Er Gouzi, get me a pair too, and a small gold chain for me!"
Chen Wenjing had saved a lot of dowry for Xiao Long, for his future marriage. Taking a small necklace to buy a pair of shoes, it shouldn't be too much, right?
"My host does not object. Exchange is possible."
Er Gouzi swallowed the gold necklace and spat out an identical pair of sneakers.
Chen Wenjing smiled, "Xiao Yu, choose the same style of shoes as me. These are comfortable to wear."
Quan Yu obediently nodded, put on his socks, and then his shoes.
Lan Mi: "Walk back and forth a few times. They should be a little loose. When you grow a bit bigger, you can still wear them."
"They're great, the shoes are so soft."
Er Gouzi puffed up with pride: "Er Gouzi's taste is excellent!"
An Nuan and Fu Yunting watched their lively interaction.
Quan Yu, from being timid at first, gradually relaxed, and a spark appeared in his eyes.
An Nuan whispered in admiration, "Such a cute little boy, and in his past life he was a silver-haired ghost. It's hard to imagine."
"Silver-haired ghost... I encountered him once. He could even alter zombie cells. Quite troublesome."
The silver-haired ghost Fu Yunting saw was relatively kind to zombies but showed no mercy to humans. More humans had died at his hands than zombies, two to three times as many. Fu Yunting hadn't fought him when they met, so he didn't know how strong the opponent truly was. However, the silver-haired ghost in his memory was not the little puppy he was now. The experiences one had in youth were enough to change a person's entire life. In this life, there would be no more silver-haired ghosts, right?
Fu Yunting: "That base raised him into a silver-haired ghost. Is it appropriate for us to ally with them?"
"They didn't want to either, they even cut themselves and let blood."
An Nuan pouted and sucked her finger. Her wound had healed long ago, so there was no longer a hole. However, Fu Yunting still tenderly nuzzled her: "After some time, we'll bring them here and have Wenjing process them one by one. If anyone harbors ill intentions, I'll let the zombies eat them."
He kissed An Nuan's cheek. Someone had to play the villain in this world. He hoped An Nuan could always live freely under the sun; he would handle the dark matters.
"The tomato fish is ready. Everyone, set the table and let's eat!"
Shi Huai carried over the pot, along with seven or eight other dishes, and set the table. Everyone busied themselves in an orderly fashion.
Mi Shuangshuang took Quan Yu's hand: "Come, let's go eat."
Quan Yu looked at the people in the room and smiled, following them sweetly.
After lunch, Fu Yunting drove towards the plantation. The temperature was just right. The wind outside carried a slight scent of blood and dust, but otherwise, everything was good. Recently, there had been a battle nearby, which had surprisingly blown up an underground water source. Tu Ling led his people to dig a canal directly from where the water source emerged. Now, one end of the water source flowed towards those who had caused the explosion, and the other end was used for irrigating plants. As a trade, Tu Ling, in charge, agreed to share a portion of the cultivated fruits and vegetables with them.
An Nuan smiled: "This is quite good, a give and take, everyone benefits."
"If there's an opportunity, we can meet their leader. Do you... want to come down?"
An Nuan, wearing sweatpants, sat on Xiao Yu's neck. Fu Yunting was extremely envious; he also wanted to carry An Nuan.
Xiao Yu: Your preferences are a bit strange!
An Nuan: "It would be strange for you to carry me, no need."
Luo Luo felt embarrassed for her. It was strange for a man to carry her, but it was normal for Xiao Yu? That was even stranger. Moreover, CoCo was on her head, it was dark below, and red lumps above. This combination looked very odd no matter how you looked at it.
"An Bo!" Luo Luo entered the tree hollow and flew towards An Bo.
An Nuan wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but An Bo seemed to have fully recovered. Its branches and leaves were more luxuriant, its roots were strong and sturdy, and its bark shone with a reflective sheen. A face emerged from the trunk. An Bo was also quite happy to see An Nuan.
"You're here? It's been so long since you last visited. Do you have time today?"
"I need your help with something. Have you heard of the Divine Tree? I've brought it here. Can you take a look?"
As soon as the Divine Tree emerged from the spatial artifact, An Bo's eyes lit up. Its branches trembled, and it extended a branch-hand to embrace the Divine Tree. The Divine Tree's leaves rustled, and its roots intertwined with An Bo's soil, quickly rooting themselves into the ground. The intertwined roots formed many spaces where small houses could be placed.
Yuan Datou walked out from between the tree roots, astonished.
"Good heavens, trees are becoming spirits these days! And you know what, I think they look quite like a couple..." Yuan Datou felt dejected after saying this. In this day and age, even trees had partners, and he was still single!
An Bo chuckled foolishly: "I didn't expect to meet a fellow kind. What's your name?"
"Sha Sha? What a nice name. Well, my place is humble, and I have nothing to give you. You like plants, right? How about a crisp and sweet cucumber?" An Bo curled two cucumbers and gave them to Sha Sha, placing them into her heart. She was so delighted that her branches trembled, and two small blue flowers bloomed on her trunk.
Without Luo Luo translating, An Nuan knew that Sha Sha was very happy and quite taken with An Bo. The small tendrils on her branches were constantly entwining with An Bo's branches, like a proactive female lead, she had completely won him over.
An Nuan: "An Bo, Sha Sha stayed in my space for a day, and my entire space grew larger and the environment improved. Do you know why?"
"What else could it be? Because of the 'Fan Gu'!"
"Fan Gu?"
"What, you don't know? You're the owner of the bead, you don't even know its origin?"
An Nuan shook her head. When her grandmother gave it to her, she had instructed her not to take it off but hadn't told her its purpose. If she hadn't been reborn, she would have only considered it her grandmother's memento until the day she died.
