Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

The process of going upstairs.

Lin Shuangshuang held Huo Ling's hand, glancing at him frequently with concern.

The three of them, including Lorna, also looked at him cautiously.

Huo Ling herself remained calm, saying, "You don't need to look at me like that, I'm fine."

to be frank.

It feels good to be protected.

If their relatives showed even the slightest bit of hostility, Lin Shuangshuang and Luo Na would immediately retaliate.

Huo Ling found it both funny and heartwarming to see the group of people acting like mother hens protecting their chicks. Her original intention was to recruit a few teammates on her way to find Lin Shuangshuang, since having a team would make things safer. However, she didn't expect that the teammates she recruited would turn out to be so good.

Only then did the three of them dare to speak.

Lorna couldn't hold back any longer, "These relatives are so materialistic, just like us in the countryside! This place isn't good either, not as nice as our little castle. The house is so big and empty, and the stairs are so wide! My legs hurt from walking so much. Our little castle even has an elevator! Shuang'er, don't you agree?!"

Lin Shuangshuang nodded vigorously, "Mmm!"

Wu Zhe also said, "Exactly, these people's fawning is really ugly. Huo Ge's cousin is really something else. Four-star alien cores were so long ago, and now six-star and seven-star alien cores have appeared."

Gao Lei said, "That's because we've been outside all the time, directly interacting with mutated animals and zombies, and directly participating in their upgrade process."

Naturally, they can obtain the latest heteronuclear materials.

However, while the mutated animals and zombies are leveling up, they are also leveling up.

Rona found it strange, "A second-tier ability can be so arrogant in the city? Anyone who didn't know better would think he's an eighth or ninth-tier ability, he's so cocky."

She felt embarrassed for him.

Lin Shuangshuang kindly reminded everyone: "Those you can't see level eight or nine ability users in the city are all on the front lines."

They don't have time to go home and brag here; they're all busy carrying out their missions.

Lorna and the other two nodded in agreement. "Indeed, indeed." "So, these big shots are all heroes." "It's better for us to keep a low profile, at least we won't get entangled. What if we give ourselves away and they come after us?"

The three of them felt a wave of fear wash over them.

Lin Shuangshuang recalled the imposing manner of the Huo family's relatives downstairs; it was indeed terrifying.

She couldn't help but lean against Huo Ling.

Huo Ling glanced at her, "Why are you acting all cute?" Actually, he was quite pleased.

Lin Shuangshuang: ? ? ?

She whined, "I wasn't being coquettish."

Huo Ling said calmly, "Oh, it's fine if you want to act cute."

Lin Shuangshuang said earnestly, "No, not just now."

Huo Ling hummed in agreement again.

Lin Shuangshuang grabbed his wrist and asked, "Hmm? What do you mean?"

Huo Ling hadn't spoken yet.

Luo Na, growing impatient from behind, couldn't help but say, "It means, Shuang'er, you can be cute! Hurry up and be cute! Captain Huo just wants to see you be cute, he's all talk and no action, ugh!!"

Gao Lei covered Luo Na's mouth and pulled her back by the shoulder. "Look at you, you've gotten so worked up about shipping this couple. Um, Sister Nana, didn't you say there's a greenhouse garden on this balcony that you wanted to go see? Xiao Zhe and I will go with you, okay? Let's go, let's go."

Wu Zhe was confused, but he still followed along cooperatively. "Oh, it seems like that's true. Sister Nana, let's go!"

He didn't want to stay and be a third wheel; this PDA was making him dizzy.

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe carried Luo Na away, and she let out a defiant cry, indicating that she could still do it! These two chatting like this is driving her crazy.

Why don't they just hug and kiss him directly?! Where is the head-pressing squad? Where are they?

Rona's antics dispelled any remaining gloom.

Huo Ling looked away, took Lin Shuangshuang's hand, and said, "Let's go, there are greenhouses on the other side too. I'll take you to see them, and we can pick up any we like."

His expressionless expression as he spoke was deeply moving. Lin Shuangshuang exclaimed in shock, "Is that alright??"

Huo Ling said, "Of course, some of them were planted when I was a child."

He insisted on building the greenhouses.

Downstairs, while the issue of property was still being discussed, Huo Ling, along with his wife and teammates, started looting. Suddenly, it dawned on him: why not take what's mine? It's mine too, and he deserves a share.

Although these antiques and rare plants may not be of much use in the apocalypse, if you like them, take them all; it'll make the trip worthwhile.

When Huo Yichuan and Wen Jingshu found out, their faces turned red with anger. Just as they were about to say something, Old Madam Huo stopped them, saying that the child was angry and needed to vent his anger. She wouldn't allow her son to mistreat his eldest grandson anymore.

"He's our eldest grandson! What's wrong with him taking things? In old times, he'd get double the inheritance! As long as our little one's happy, let him take whatever he wants!"

With just a word from Madam Huo, Huo Yichuan and Wen Jingshu could obediently hold their breath.

The old woman said that her eldest grandson had been heartbroken for so many years and hadn't come home. She had been arguing with him for so many years. How many more years could she live now that she was old?

"I don't want to go years without seeing him again, so leave him alone!"

Wen Jingshu was anxious and heartbroken over these antiques and treasures. They were clearly meant to belong to her children in the future, and with the old lady's current attitude, it was obvious that she was going to protect her eldest grandson. How much of her fortune would she still get?

Huo Yichuan was unhappy. He felt that his son was not on his side, but on the side of his deceased mother. This made it difficult for him to be good to his son. Now, his son was even trying to take things from him. He was furious.

But with his parents still alive and so many relatives around, it's impossible for him to rebel.

I had no choice but to endure it.

Compared to the couple's anger, Huo Ling had been living a comfortable life for the past three days, taking whatever he wanted. Old Madam Huo even gave him a lot of things, secretly saying that her dowry was hidden in the secret room.

The old lady gave him most of her things. Huo Ling originally intended not to accept them, but she made him take them. "I can't give them all to you. You're not close to your younger siblings, but I watched them grow up. Grandma has to keep some for them. You have to understand that."

Huo Ling had his eyes half-closed and said he didn't want it, but the old lady insisted that he wouldn't accept it. She was still angry with her grandmother, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

He had no choice but to accept it.

Grandma Huo looked at him for a long time, unable to utter the words of apology. Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, and in the end she just patted the child's hand again and again. "You've grown up so fast. When you were little, you always loved to lie on Grandma's lap. Now you're so big. Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. You're so heartless. Don't you miss your grandparents? Although we love both of you, it's not the same. Of all our grandchildren, we've never cared for you as much as we have. You grew up in my and my husband's arms."

Their first grandson, born when the two elders were at their youngest and most energetic in raising a child, how could they not love him dearly? The things they said about his stubbornness were indeed for the good of the family, but who hasn't been biased at times? They truly loved him the most.

Huo Ling was very quiet that night, quietly bearing his grandmother's emotions and silently processing them on his own. Lin Shuangshuang held him while he slept that night and kissed his forehead many times.
