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

The cabin's heating was working fine, so the group packed their luggage and prepared to go out for a stroll and visit the village.

Lin Shuangshuang was wearing a thick coat, and Huo Ling even put a scarf on her.

The three of them, Luo Na and Wu Zhe, walked ahead, making a lot of noise. After Wu Zhe's superpower was upgraded, he was not so afraid of the cold anymore. In addition, he was dressed warmly, so he could play in the snow with peace of mind. Wearing gloves, he was not afraid of any pollutants in the snow.

"The snow is so thick, I've never seen snow this thick in my life." Wu Zhe stepped on the snow by the roadside, making a crunching sound.

Gao Lei teased him, "You've never seen thin snow before, have you? Isn't this your first time seeing snow?"

Wu Zhe told him to stop talking.

Luo Na laughed heartily, "See? Even Xiao Zhe thinks you have a sharp tongue."

The three of them were arguing and making noise.

They gave the young couple behind them enough space, not wanting to be a third wheel.

Lin Shuangshuang grabbed Huo Ling's arm to keep up with his pace.

Huo Ling, on the other hand, seemed rather lazy, strolling around with her eyes half-closed.

They used to take walks together, but usually it was late at night, or in the streets where there were no bodyguards or surveillance cameras, where they would secretly hold hands.

It's actually quite rare to see people strolling hand in hand like this, so openly and honestly in broad daylight.

Lin Shuangshuang asked him, "Huo Ling, are you cold?"

Huo Ling said, "It's not cold."

Although he wasn't very warm, he wasn't as sharp as before.

Lin Shuangshuang was happy about this. She noted in her memo that he used to be very fierce to her and kept pushing her away, but he doesn't anymore.

She felt that her efforts were very effective.

"It's a pity I was wearing gloves, otherwise I could have held your hand."

Even with just one layer between them, it still wasn't quite right. She enjoyed the contact between his skin and his body, and Huo Ling's body was warm and comfortable.

Huo Ling, with his hands in his pockets, glanced at her upon hearing this and asked, "Don't you want your hands anymore?"

Even at minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius, holding hands won't freeze your hands into ice cubes.

Lin Shuangshuang smiled at him, "Yes, yes, I just really want to hold your hand."

Huo Ling chuckled, "You're so good at sweet-talking people."

Lin Shuangshuang quickly replied, "I'm just trying to coax you." She reacted very quickly.

Huo Ling didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't help but smile. "Clingy."

Lin Shuangshuang heard the hint of amusement and tenderness in his tone, and immediately hugged his arm tightly, snuggling up to him with a bright smile, "I'm sticking to you!"

Huo Ling couldn't help but laugh.

In this kind of weather, with the person he cares about most standing next to him, how could he possibly feel cold? He only felt a tenderness in his heart.

Like a marshmallow.

It's sweet and soft.

Lin Shuangshuang turned her head and saw a large field. She pointed in that direction and exclaimed, "Look!!"

Huo Ling followed her gaze and said, "I saw it."

A large field is teeming with life, covered with all kinds of vegetables and fruits.

The three of them, including Lorna, exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my god!!"

"Such a big pumpkin?! It's as big as a small house! Are the pumpkin carriages in fairy tales real?!"

"One can last a year..."

"It's amazing that the vegetables didn't freeze to death in this weather; these bok choy are still lush and green."

"Are we hallucinating? I can understand cabbage, white radish, and bok choy, but how can this little green vegetable still be alive?"

They were truly amazed.

Villagers were busy harvesting the vegetables, bending over, while children dressed like dolls in New Year pictures helped out.

The harvested vegetables are neatly stacked in large baskets on the side.

They weren't afraid of the strangers; they just smiled. "Are you an official combat team? Here to help us escort the vegetables?"

"Wow, this young man is quite handsome. They're all so good-looking."

"Yeah, her looks surpass even those of celebrities!"

Most of the middle-aged people were returning from the city, and they were all very talkative.

Some children, around ten years old, laughed and said, "How about it? You city bumpkins, never seen anything like this before? Vegetables grow from the ground, it's just that the soil has changed after the apocalypse, so the things that grow are a bit bigger. It's surprising to you, and I find it funny to watch you all."

This made Lorna and the other two feel awkward. "We've never seen him before." "You little brat, you're pretty smug! Have you finished your homework?" "Yeah!"

Come on.

Hurt each other.

The child, who had just finished online classes, looked pained and yelled, "Are you demons?!"

The three of them, including Rona, burst into laughter.

The older generation couldn't understand the riddles these big and little kids were playing, but they just smiled and asked them if they had eaten.

"The cafeteria will be opening soon. Oh, it's almost time. You guys hurry up and go. I heard they steamed pumpkin buns, baked pumpkin pancakes, and cooked pumpkin rice today. Go and eat!"

"Yes, try the vegetables grown in our mutated land. They taste even better than before the apocalypse. They're so fresh and sweet. Just eating them is a treat."

The little kid muttered, "Then meat tastes better, right? It's been so long since I've had meat!"

The adults laughed and said, "Go away, go away! It's good enough that we have vegetables to eat; so many people are still starving." "That's right, Fang Zixu, I think you want a beating!" "I'm going to tell your mom later that you ran out before finishing your homework." "Harvesting vegetables is more fun than doing homework, huh?"

The little brat was so angry that he pouted and refused to go home, even though his face was red from the cold.

The three of them, including Rona, were all very happy.

Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang stood on the side watching, feeling inexplicably happy.

It's amazing.

Someone immediately recognized Huo Ling as the team leader and asked, "Oh, team leader, are you from City E? How many days did it take you to get here?"

Huo Ling said calmly, "If all goes well, it will take two or three days."

The other person nodded, "That's still far, and the journey is dangerous. Thank you for your hard work!"

Huo Ling frankly said, "It's not hard work. We can earn a lot of points for each trip."

Everyone burst into laughter.

I like his honest nature; he says what he thinks and doesn't mince words.

Lin Shuangshuang is fair-skinned and well-behaved. She doesn't interrupt when everyone is chatting, mainly because she has a hard time fitting in with the group. However, she is very talkative with Huo Ling.

An older woman asked, "Is this young lady your boyfriend or your sister?"

The three of them, including Rona, immediately perked up their ears, eager to gossip.

Huo Ling hadn't spoken yet.

Lin Shuangshuang nodded confidently, "Yes, I am his girlfriend."

Huo Ling chuckled but said nothing.

The aunt immediately praised them, saying they were a perfect match, and stuffed a handful of round, red cherry tomatoes into their hands, saying, "Eat, eat, these little eggplants are so sweet! They taste like tomatoes."

Lin Shuangshuang couldn't refuse, so she held the cherry tomatoes, feeling helpless.

"Hey! I was just about to look for you guys. Come on, let's go eat together!" Brother Xiaotian happened to come over and, seeing them, was about to lead them to the cafeteria.

Like herding lambs.

As soon as Brother Xiaotian made the arrangements, he urged the group forward, taking the children with him as well, saying that he would send them back to attend their online classes after lunch, as the afternoon's online classes were about to begin.

The children were in unbearable pain, wailing incessantly, while Brother Xiaotian laughed heartily.

Adults always share the same perverse tastes.
