The voice was very light and very distant. It felt like it ca from sowhere far or from a different space. They couldn’t tell which.
What was more frustrating was that they couldn’t hear clearly what was being said. However, they could tell that whatever or whoever was speaking exuded a lot of pressure, not with malice or friendliness, but filled with indifference.
There was only one emotion that could be deciphered clearly; desire. Unfortunately, they couldn’t tell what it was a desire for. But they understood that it had sothing to do with the apocalypse. Otherwise, this teorite wouldn’t accompany the ones that turned the Earth into a haven for walking corpses.
Realizing that they won’t figure anything out like this even if they kept listening, they gave up and decided to explore the rest of the building.
They walked around the living room but didn’t see a door. They could tell that the mansion was huge and could even see beyond the living room and a spiraling staircase that looked like it was made of glass, or probably another transparent hologram could be seen.
However, they couldn’t find a door to get there. Leng Pan had no choice but to ask.
"How can we look around in other rooms?" She knew that whatever was talking to her before was still there.
"Commander Leng needs to trigger mory awakening to gain access." The voice ca again.
"Again with the mory awakening. What on earth is that anyway?" She asked in frustration.
"I am not programd to say. But if you rember your past, you will know." The voice replied then went quiet abruptly as if interrupted by sothing.
It was obvious it had said more than it was supposed to say. Leng Pan didn’t ask any more questions and urged Lu Zhen to leave.
"Let’s go practice what we have gained for now then we can co back later for more research once we’ve digested our current gains." She said as she grabbed her husband’s hand and walked towards the door.
"Mmm... you shouldn’t stress yourself over things you can’t understand. You are special, and maybe there is a reason for that. So don’t worry too much about today’s discovery.
We will eventually find out what all this information ans. For now, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing. So, just embrace it." Lu Zhen comforted and reassured Leng Pan who seed to be highly bothered by the information given by the voice in the mansion.
He was also a little confused and curious, but as long as the person in front of him was his Leng Pan, he didn’t care. He would do whatever it takes to protect her.
After leaving the mansion, they still went to check the warehouse, and the place looked so empty compared to the last ti they were here.
It looked like the space had not just doubled, it was almost triple the original size. Now the supplies that filled the place and looked like they would burst, with a little more resembled an empty building with so boxes in a corner.
There was so much more they could do with the extra space. They decided to start scavenging for supplies as soon as their superpowers stabilized and they gained control over their new abilities.
Since there was nothing more to do, they left the place with a thought from Leng Pan and appeared in their master bedroom again.
They didn’t even have ti to breathe before the doorbell rang.
’That should be Lu Tao.’ They both thought.
They had no ti to bathe and clean up before Leng Pan picked up a remote control on the bedside table and pressed a button.
The door opened followed by the young man’s voice.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, where are you guys? Why didn’t you co see us when you ca back? We’ve been waiting for ten minutes but you didn’t show up."
At first, they had ignored his insistent questions, but when they heard the last statent, they stopped and stood up in unison.
The two walked to the living room where Lu Tao was pacing up and down and looked at him.
"How long did you say it was since we ca back?" Lu Zhen asked with his usual serious big-brother expression.
"It’s been ten minutes. How co you can’t even count that? Also, your house is really different, the Feng Shui here must be magical and very good, as soon as you ca close I can feel my superpower reacting and sohow my energy is increasing.
How co I didn’t feel that way before?" Lu Tao replied to Lu Zhen and also gave more seemingly unnecessary information but this sentence shook the two to the core.
No wonder when they took the teorite from the crater that day the zombies didn’t seem to react at all. It seed that residue from the teorite attaches itself to things or people and lingers around for a while.
Because they had stayed near the teorite in the mansion for so ti, which to them seed to be at least two hours, while Lu Tao claims that they had only been gone for ten minutes, so of its energy seed to have rubbed off on them.
They carried it to the outside and it was also affecting Lu Tao’s superpower. It seed that others could also benefit from their contact with the teorite without coming in contact with it personally.
Thinking of this, they wanted to see if their mother and aunt would have a reaction before the energy fades.
So they urged the boy with a million whys to go to the other apartnt.
"Let’s go see Mom and the others, then, before they start thinking that sothing happened to us and you got involved too." Leng Pan comnted and led the way.
If Lu Zhen could think of it, of course, she could think about it too.
Maybe if she sat next to her mother-in-law like always sothing might be triggered. So, she was eager to try. Lu Zhen also followed his wife and left the boy with a puzzled expression to follow once he was ready.
Feeling that the Feng Shui seed to have weakened after the two big shots left, Lu Tao ran after them to smooch off their aura. He thought that maybe it wasn’t Feng Shui helping his superpower increase but their strong auras.
Hence, the three entered the next apartnt in a single file like a duck and its ducklings.
Li Yunjia felt like a rock that had been sitting in her chest had finally fallen when she saw her son and daughter-in-law walk into the house unhard.
She smiled and beckoned to Leng Pan to co to her. With light steps, Leng Pan walked to her mother-in-law and sat down next to her while grabbing her arm.
She acted like a daughter who was spoiled and had missed her mother for centuries. Li Yunjia had never seen Leng Pan act so spoiled but she was happy about this developnt. She had always wanted a daughter and seeing this made her feel like now she had one she could spoil.
If only things weren’t as complicated as they were now, she could go shopping with her and buy her pretty dresses. It was such a pity, but she was grateful that she still had her even in this situation.
"What did you see? Why do you look so emotional? And why did you go straight to your apartnt and not co back here directly? We were worried to death." Li Yunjia fired three consecutive questions at once. Indeed, she and Lu Tao were mother and son. Asking questions in the sa style.
Leng Pan almost laughed when she rembered how Lu Tao had asked questions in the sa tone in their apartnt.
But she had to give her mother-in-law and the others an account of what had happened and what they had discovered.
