Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Taking Shade Out
As expected, Leng Pan replied, "We just didn’t want you to worry for nothing. It’s in the past anyway. So, there was no need in bringing up things that have long passed.
At least that was what we thought, we didn’t expect Commander Qui to still be persistent in doing experiments to make zombies stronger." Leng Pan wasn’t giving an excuse. What she said was the truth.
The elders in the room could say nothing after hearing that.
"So, that space you have is from your previous life? But how did you get it?" Li Yunjia asked after thinking about it for a moment.
Leng Pan hadn’t expected her to connect the dots so quickly.
"It’s true that space was mine even in our previous life. I also got it this time by mistake because the crystal shard that it was saved in had been refined into a bangle.
Also, the time I got that bangle I had not regained my memory so I had no idea that the bangle was special.
I had just hurt my hand accidentally when the bangle suddenly opened and I found myself in the space.
At that time, it was only a warehouse where I could store things and nothing else. The mansion and that farm had appeared later after I had remembered some things.
Now that I think about it, it was pure luck that I managed to find that bangle in the antique street and bought it. Otherwise, it would have been taken by someone else and become useless accessory." As Leng Pan narrated, she almost believed that story herself.
Luckily, even Lu Zhen only knew that she had indeed bought that bangle by accident. However, he did know that she knew about the space and activated it knowingly and not by accident.
However, he wouldn’t tell anyone about it.
"Since you now know more about that person you called a traitor, what are your plans? You can’t sit around and wait for him to grow stronger and come back to bit you. What do you want to do? The family will support you." Uncle Li asked while looking at the two youngsters.
"This time we have to make sure that his plan with other traitors doesn’t succeed. The last time they were in the dark and we were in the light. However, now that we know what is happening, we can take precautions earlier." Leng Pan was very clear about this.
They couldn’t afford another failure as humankind.
"Now that not many people are going outside due to the cold, you can take this time to investigate if you can find more of those special meteorites. In this way, you won’t give that guy a chance to get the ones that haven’t been found yet.
It might just be a bit difficult to find them without a guidance." Uncle Li suggested.
Lu Zhen felt that this was a good suggestion and was up for it.
"Uncle is right, I will go out and look for those things while at the same time and use searching for supplies as a cover to go and meet our other teammates." Lu Zhen said and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was valid.
"When do you plan to go?" Leng Pan asked because she also wanted to meet up with the others.
"Baby, could you please sit this one out? It’s too dangerous now going out with this cold.
I will go and scout around to see if I can find anything." Lu Zhen felt sorry for his wife and didn’t want her to experience something as excruciating as the extreme cold.
The temperature had dropped so much that a person might be frozen after going out. He would have to wear the costume made from the material they had found in the conference room inside the mansion together with more layers of clothes.
That was the only way he could avoid getting hurt by the cold.
However, even if Leng Pan wore the same clothes as him, she could still suffer because women’s tolerance of the cold was different from men.
Leng Pan understood that he was just looking out for her and even though she really wanted to go, she could only control herself.
"Alright then, you can go but be careful. Remember to take that watch that Tao made for us. It can show you zombies that are within a certain area and any heavily armed people around you.
I think it will come in handy." Leng Pan remembered that watch and it also seemed to have a function that could help in finding special meteorites.
In that case, it would be very useful.
"I will, I was still thinking about what could help me in spotting enemies from a far but now that you reminded me of that watch, I will wear it. I hope it won’t shut down due to the cold." Lu Zhen said so much just to reassure his wife.
Lu Tao took it personally that someone questioned the efficiency of his creation and behaved as if his tail had been stepped on.
"Hey, my devices will work just fine even in this cold. You don’t have to worry." Even though he felt like his toes had been stepped on, Lu Tao still worshipped his brother and didn’t say anymore.
"Alright, we know your devices work in every weather." Li Yunjia laughed as she teased her younger son.
With this little banter, the tension caused by the earlier video evaporated.
"By the way, Ah Zhen, take Shade with you. That guy has almost been forgotten after entering the space.
The last time we were there I don’t know where he had disappeared to. He should be of some help to you in finding stuff or fighting.
His battle strength isn’t bad." It was at this moment that Leng Pan remembered the wolf they had brought back from that little station on their way to the abandoned town.
They had been so busy that they forgot all about it. Now that they remembered, it could be used.
"Mmm...bring him out. That guy shouldn’t lazy around and only know how to eat." Lu Zhen also echoed his wife and also wanted to reassure her, so he decided to take Shade along.
The others didn’t know what they were talking about but they thought it should be something important.
That was until a large wolf appeared in front of everyone in the living room.
Luckily for Shade, apart from Leng Pan and Lu Zhen, no one else in the family had an attack superpower. Otherwise, as soon as it showed up, it would have been blasted to the wall.
Shade suddenly saw the scenery in front of change and was confused for a moment before it saw Leng Pan and Lu Zhen.
It walked over to Lu Zhen and rubbed its head against his leg before doing the same for Leng Pan then it settled down between them.
It just lay there like an obedient dog which made the others surprised. Was this a dog or a wolf? Also, even if it was a wolf, how was it so big?
Lu Tao didn’t like to think about things how won’t find answers to on his own so he asked what everyone else wanted to ask.
"Is this a wolf? How is it that big?"
"It is a wolf. But it is a mutated alpha wolf. So, its body is bigger than regular wolves and it’s intelligence is also higher.
It belongs to your big brother and can protect him if he goes out alone." Leng Pan was explained what they wanted to hear.
However, instead of enlightening them, it just raised more questions.
"How did it become my brother’s wolf?" Lu Tao asked and his mother nodded her head.
She also wanted to know how her son got a wolf. So, Leng Pan explained how they had found the small station on the abandoned road and we’re attacked by wolves and how they had fought them and ended up subduing Shade.
"So, this wolf has been with you all this time and you had even forgotten about it? Only you would forget that you had such a fierce creature strutting around in your territory." Auntie Li found it funny that Leng Pan had actually forgotten about the existence of Shade just because it was in the space.
But looking at this wolf, it was good that Lu Zhen wouldn’t be going out alone. Moreover, considering its massive size, it could act as a mount now that he couldn’t drive because of the snow and ice on the roads.
Adding on to the bad condition of the roads after they were smashed by the meteorites, having such a mount was much safer.
Thank you so much for your support. I still want to remind you to buy the privilege Chapters and read ahead then give me some feedback.
I love hearing from you all. Thanks again.
