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

Zhao Pingsheng pressed the "Accept Order" button, and the familiar electronic voice sounded the next second: "[You have a new task accepted!]"

A task page pops up.

Everyone has received their wristbands; there are two days left in the countdown.

Huo Ling submitted the route, and Little Castle immediately started running, this time faster, sprinting through the wind and snow.

Along the way, neither mutated animals nor mutated zombies could do anything to this mechanical hermit crab.

After explaining the situation, Zhao Pingsheng went upstairs. "Contact me anytime if you have any questions."

Everyone said goodbye to him and then settled into the living room to watch the big screen.

The first and second children made the cake and hot drinks, and the third and fourth children served them out.

After their routine patrol, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu returned to Luo Na's feet and lay down.

Wu Zhe sipped his hot cocoa, looked at the white snow outside, and said, "I'm really something, actually managing to see such a heavy snowfall."

A once-in-a-millennium event.

Lorna sat on the sofa, hugging a cushion, staring at the monitor. "Hiss, have you noticed that all the sea creatures that came ashore are gone? But how come these zombies are still alive and kicking?"

That's disgusting.

Why not freeze them to death?

Gao Lei also found it amazing, "We can't stand being outdoors for even a short while, but these zombies didn't turn into popsicles. Their constitution is very special."

Huo Ling said, "Invasive species are usually very strong." So the zombie virus is definitely not simple.

Lin Shuangshuang felt very happy eating the small cake, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes to enjoy it.

The small living room is especially cozy.

Lorna suddenly felt very happy, "If things could continue like this, it wouldn't be bad, hahaha."

Gao Lei told her to come to her senses, "We'll be on a mission in a couple of days."

Lorna couldn't help but clench her fist. "Damn this job! But the points are so tempting! And the stuff sold at the base is top-notch quality!!"

It offers even better quality assurance than before the apocalypse.

Wu Zhe chuckled to himself, "I don't know about other things, but with so much stock in our house right now, I feel really secure and have nothing to worry about."

These stockpiles are enough to feed the seven of them for eight or nine years without any problem.

Moreover, the small castle's warehouse has its own special craftsmanship, so these supplies are not afraid of being damaged.

Huo Ling pondered the question of Lin Shuangshuang's background, analyzing several possibilities in his mind. The reason why Lin Shuangshuang left was likely related to the authorities, because in the year she left, the authorities officially established the humanoid weapon experiment, which meant that her previous laboratory had been incorporated.

……

Lin Shuangshuang ate a small cake, then leaned over to whisper to Huo Ling, "The second time!"

Huo Ling snapped out of his daze, looked down at her, and asked, "What?"

Lin Shuangshuang's voice carried a sweet, cake-like quality as she said again, "The second time, the second time you'll make me a cake."

She had it written in her notes; she had just looked at it and found out. Although she didn't have that memory and her mind was blank, she still felt happy.

Huo Ling chuckled. "How did you know I made this especially for you?"

Everyone clearly has it.

Lin Shuangshuang moved back and scooped out another large spoonful of maple cake. "I knew it."

Huo Ling stopped arguing with her, because it was childish.

A team leader should act like a team leader.

The destination of this mission seems somewhat familiar.

Wu Zhe slapped his thigh, suddenly remembering, "Ah! Isn't this the village of that inspirational guy from last time?! Do you guys remember? Right at the beginning of the apocalypse, there was this guy who taught everyone how to avoid danger!"

Lorna remembered, "Ah! That's it! It was really popular back then. I was wondering why it looked so familiar; it turns out it's from his village!"

Gao Lei doesn't remember much anymore.

Lorna seized the opportunity to mock him, "You wouldn't believe it, you hardly ever pay attention to these things!"

Gao Lei asked, "Who said that?"

The two started arguing, and Wu Zhe tried to smooth things over, telling them not to worry about it, "Isn't the important thing their village's vegetables?!"

Since it's a rare trip, we could definitely exchange some seeds and vegetables for them.

Huo Ling also said, "Xiao Zhe reminded me of this. Without the official base as an intermediary, we can probably save some points by exchanging directly with them."

Wu Zhe excitedly slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly what I meant!"

Two snaps.

This time, he didn't slap his own thigh, but instead excitedly slapped it to the left and right.

It hit Gao Lei and Luo Na right in the legs, and the two of them cried out in pain.

Wu Zhe quickly apologized, "Ahhh, I'm so sorry, I got too excited!!"

Rona collapsed onto the sofa, sobbing, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Gao Lei rubbed his thighs.

The strength of superhumans should not be underestimated; the two of them rolled up their trouser legs, and they turned red.

Gao Lei and Luo Na were shocked.

Wu Zhe quickly apologized and comforted them, saying he would buy them gifts next time as compensation.

Gao Lei and Luo Na knew he didn't mean it; they were just exaggerating to trick the child into giving them a gift.

Wu Zhe felt guilty.

Huo Ling clicked her tongue. "You two even lied about gifts for children."

Wu Zhe was dumbfounded.

Gao Lei and Luo Na laughed heartily, saying that although the red marks didn't actually hurt that much.

Those with superpowers have thick skin and tough flesh.

Watching the three of them making a ruckus, Lin Shuangshuang thought this little team was really interesting. They didn't eat much cake, while she quietly ate it all by herself.

Because her portion was the largest, it took her quite a while to finish eating it quietly.

When Luo Na noticed, she said, "Shuang'er, don't eat too much. You still have to eat dinner later. Keep the cake in the refrigerator to chill. Cake tastes better the day before."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded, "Okay." The leftover cake was indeed delicious, but she usually couldn't keep it until the next day. That night, she would sneak a bite from the refrigerator every now and then, just like a mouse.

She would think about the cake all night long if she didn't finish it. After Huo Ling discovered this problem, she stopped buying her big cakes, afraid that she would stay up all night thinking about it, and also afraid that eating too much cake would be bad for her health.

Huo Ling did indeed give a cryptic smile, but he didn't look at Lin Shuangshuang.

Lin Shuangshuang knew he was smiling at her, so she huffed and said, "Hmph!"

Huo Ling glanced at her, "What are you humming about?"

Lin Shuangshuang said confidently, "Yeah, right!" Who told him to laugh at her for being greedy?

Huo Ling found her very amusing every day, always entertaining and silly, yet she was actually a human weapon.

It was once incorporated into the Chinese military.

It made him feel really sorry for him.

Another boring day was spent by them.

They are very happy.

They ate a hearty dinner, and the wind and snow outside were irrelevant to them.

Two days later, when the small castle was near the mission destination, Huo Ling drove Lin Shuangshuang and the others down to the village two kilometers away.

With the official access code in their wristbands, they traveled smoothly and arrived safely.

A registration point was set up at the entrance of the village.

All visitors must present a pass or official access code.
