She had never considered that she might undergo a second development, let alone a fruitful one.
Su Mo was extremely excited; from now on, she could consider herself half a Wood Element Superpower User!
"Oh," as if she remembered something, she took out an 8-level Crystal Stone from the System Bag and placed it in Lu Chen’s hands, "This is from the lion we took down. It’s no use to me, so I’m giving it to you."
Lu Chen stared at the Crystal Stone in his hand, promptly accepted it, and then gave her a once-over, "Any discomfort anywhere else?"
Su Mo took a moment to feel and then shook her head, "It’s just that my hair is too long; can you give me a haircut?"
She didn’t like the way long hair fluttered around and would only be a nuisance in future battles, "I just need a short ponytail."
Lu Chen had her find a chair to sit on, rummaged through the Space to find scissors, and started cutting her hair after sizing it up.
When Zhao Changsheng heard that Su Mo had woken up, everyone rushed over. As they lifted the curtain, they were greeted by a scene of a big guy giving a lady a haircut.
Zhao Changsheng’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as he pointed at Lu Chen and started to curse, "Where’s my Baby Mo! You’re actually cutting another woman’s hair! Have you no shame!?!"
Jianxiong, who arrived upon hearing the news, also looked displeased, "Boss, you can’t take advantage of the sister’s blindness to do such things, that’s bullying!"
Lu Chen couldn’t be bothered to lift his eyes, simply focusing on the task at hand.
As Zhao Changsheng was about to unleash his Thunder, Su Mo rushed to say, "I’m right here, right here!"
It was still her familiar, soft tone.
Everyone incredulously turned their gaze towards the woman.
The light inside the tent wasn’t very good, but Zhao Changsheng took a few steps forward, looked closely, and still in disbelief, pinched her face, "Baby?"
"It’s me, I just suddenly turned out after advancing," Su Mo said, somewhat embarrassed as she glanced at her clothing that could barely cover her navel.
The originally petite Su Mo, who looked like a doll, had developed fully in all the right places, her long legs dazzling everyone present.
Li Qian found her transformation unbelievable.
Now that Jianxiong recognized her, he scratched his head apologetically and hurriedly admitted his mistake to the cold-looking Lu Chen, "I was blind, Boss; I should have trusted you more."
Lu Chen continued to ignore him, finishing Su Mo’s haircut and tying a ponytail with the cherry hair tie beautifully.
Su Mo felt the back of her head and was quite satisfied; at least it won’t be tied crookedly anymore.
"Is the battlefield outside the refugee camp cleaned up?"
At the mention of this, smiles spread across everyone’s faces.
Jianxiong said cheerfully, "The edible wild beasts have filled our granaries to the brim, and every Space Superpower User’s space is stocked full of this meat."
Listening to this, Su Mo also smiled brightly, "I have a lot of seasonings here, let’s have a roast suckling pig tonight! Let’s start with a barbecue feast!"
At that moment, Rong Bai happened to come rolling in on a wheelchair, "That’s perfect, I’ll provide the beer. How about a get-together for all the superpower users?"
Lu Chen, helping Su Mo to stand up, gave Rong Bai a cold glance, "You want to work my wife to death?"
"No, no, we still have a canteen, right? Have them help out as well. The chickens you brought back from your last mission have laid a lot of eggs. We can even have tomato and egg drop soup tonight," Rong Bai quickly waved his hands, not daring to let a patient who had just recovered do such work.
Su Mo’s cheeks flushed as she thought of tomato and egg drop soup, reflexively glancing at Lu Chen and meeting his meaningful gaze.
That stuff, cooked in her pot, powerful...
"But, Su Mo, the change in you is too drastic," Rong Bai said, looking up at her while pushing his wheelchair.
As for growing taller, Su Mo was always satisfied. She laughed and said, "Who knew I could level up twice in a row?"
This was mostly thanks to the free gift from the God of Cooking Gift Package.
"A Level 7 superpower user now?"
Everyone walked out of the tent; the sky outside was still overcast. Su Mo’s green hair wasn’t very unusual among superpower users, as many experienced physical changes due to their abilities.
However, what everyone found odd was that under the brightness outside, they could clearly see that even the irises of her eyes were a greenish color, adding an elfin beauty to her entire being.
Lu Chen, seeing that many were staring at his wife, silently pulled her behind him and clutched her hand tightly, asserting his claim.
They stood atop the city wall. Outside, there were still numerous bodies being sorted and recycled. It had been a week, and the task was far from complete, and many bodies had already begun to emit a putrid stench.
Su Mo said, "In the next few days, let’s eat our fill. If the Space doesn’t have a preservation function, we should have everyone cure the remaining meat, or else it won’t last long."
Rong Bai had no objections, "I thought of that, too. We’ve been skinning through the night. We’ve taken the hides off over a thousand beasts. These materials can provide winter protection for many people."
Su Mo shook her head, "That’s nowhere near enough. We have only two years. Once the battlefield is cleared, we will broadcast a message, calling for various construction workers, engineers, and those skilled in building tunnels and bunkers, giving priority to the latter."
Rong Bai looked up at her, "Have you already prepared to leave here?"
Su Mo nodded. She held Lu Chen’s hand tightly and said earnestly, "As long as they are willing, I plan to take everyone with us. When the Ice Age comes back, if we are not well-prepared, they will starve or freeze to death."
"You must consider the casualties on the road," he reminded.
She smiled slightly, "I know. That’s why we need to find suitable living areas first before considering the major migration."
Looking down at the mess below, everyone fell into silence, knowing in their hearts it was not an easy task.
At night, on the huge open space in front of the hotel, dozens of large mutated pigs were roasted, seasoned with various spices contributed by Su Mo. The aroma drifted through the air.
At the refugee camp, Su Mo had barrels of meat and rice sent over.
That night, everyone was happy. Rong Bai brought out an assortment of alcohol scavenged along the way. Lu Chen and Su Mo, unable to refuse Rong Bai and his friends’ urging, drank quite a bit.
Rong Bai drank especially heartily that night, though occasionally glancing at his empty lower half, a flash of pain appearing in his eyes.
How could Lu Chen not notice? He too silently kept pouring drinks, feeling pity for Rong Bai. If there was the slightest chance, she wanted to find a way to restore his legs.
Li Qian was particularly strange that night, indulging Zhao Changsheng and Jianxiong in heavy drinking, all the while wearing a calculating expression.
