It snowed all night, and the next day was still cloudy.Lin Zhiheng and Shen Cheng's travel plans were also temporarily put on hold.

Since they had nothing to do, they usually practice their abilities in the space, and then under the guidance of their grandfather, they cut down trees and built a small wooden house on the beach by the sea, and put a bed and a big sofa in it.

The windows of the cabin are old-fashioned wooden windows with carved patterns, without window paper, and directly see through to the outside.There is a plastic curtain outside the wooden house. If it rains in the space, pull down the plastic curtain directly, and the rain will not fall into the house.

When the two brothers went to the space for vacation, they would live in the hut, sleep listening to the sound of the waves, and go to the beach to pick crabs in the morning.

The poultry and livestock in the space have been bred for several rounds, and there are still many poultry and livestock in the storage space that have not had time to be slaughtered.

The snow has been falling sparsely for more than ten days. During this time, the two brothers took their grandparents and grandparents to fight zombies nearby twice.The pus of the zombies in winter is frozen, and it doesn't look as scary as the zombies in summer, nor is it so smelly.However, Shen Cheng's fire ability would be less powerful in winter.

Wen Tonghui awakened the wood ability.He is depressed.

He waited for a long time before awakening the ability: "What a broken ability."

Long Jinyan comforted him: "How wonderful this ability is. From now on, all the vegetables in our family will be on you. Plant tomatoes and watermelons, and we can satisfy our hunger."

"Mom," Wen Tonghui was furious, "what's the use of satisfying hunger? Tomatoes, watermelons, can they kill zombies? In the future, brother Gan will kill a group of zombies with a gust of wind, and just kill a group of zombies with a lightning strike. What about me? I'm growing tomatoes and watermelons."

No one could comfort him now. Lin Zhiheng even asked Doudou for a few seeds for Wen Tonghui. Wen Tonghui could only give birth to ordinary plants, and he couldn't give birth to mutant plants at all.

"Ah—" Wen Tonghui flung himself on the sofa angrily.

Wen Tongxue: "Okay Huihui, don't be sad, you see that Yanyan has the same ability as you, he is not sad."

Wen Tonghui turned his head to look at Yanyan, who was smiling at him with his fingers in his mouth, and became even more depressed.

The days passed quietly, and the Spring Festival was approaching in a blink of an eye.

The heavy snow and cold wind in winter took many lives, but for the living, life is still the same.

The abilities of Long Jingqian and Wen Tongxue have broken through the second level. Long Jinggan has an extra ability. He can control the wind to make himself jump higher and stay in the air for a longer time.Wen Tongxue has become a veritable girl with strange powers, she can now lift a car with one hand.

Shen Cheng still didn't break through the third level.

They summed it up and found that about [-] first-level crystal nuclei, or fifty second-level crystal nuclei are needed to upgrade from the first level to the second level.But the number of second-level zombies is much smaller than that of first-level zombies, so the first-level crystal nuclei are generally hit.If one third-level crystal nucleus is equivalent to ten second-level crystal nuclei, and one second-level crystal nucleus is equivalent to the energy of ten first-level crystal nuclei, Lin Zhiheng only needed less than [-] crystal nuclei to upgrade from the second level to the third level. Primary crystal nucleus.However, the brothers did not tell the Long family about this, because they suspected that it had something to do with the hot spring water. If there was no hot spring water, they would probably need more crystal nuclei to upgrade.

Moreover, Lin Zhiheng thought with fear that after eating the third-level crystal nucleus last time, it is not normal to feel pain all over the body. It is probably because the energy intake at one time is too much, which exceeds the range of his own tolerance.Because when Long Jingqian and Xiaoxue were leveling up, they didn't feel any discomfort, they just fainted and had a fever.

This year's Spring Festival, there is no Spring Festival Gala and no firecrackers.After all, no one wants to set off firecrackers to attract zombies.Firecrackers were originally used to exorcise evil spirits, but now they can only attract zombies.

The Long family planned to have a meal at the best restaurant in the base. They went to sweep the village a few days ago, found a lot of food, and earned a lot of points for doing tasks. They are quite rich now.They invited people from the Shen family to go with them, but after some discussion, the Shen family declined.

In the past, every New Year's Eve, the Long family would gather in the Long family's villa, and the Shen family would live by themselves.However, during the Chinese New Year, the two will always have dinner once.

Starting in the afternoon, grandma and grandpa began to prepare for dumpling stuffing.Peel the shrimps, choose leeks, and Lin Zhiheng directly crushed the Chinese cabbage with a grinder in the space. After the crushed cabbage was squeezed, the vegetable juice was mixed into the noodles.The meat is also minced with a meat grinder.

Lin Zhiheng picked a large yellow croaker and a lot of seafood, so he can cook a lot of dishes at night.Qiuqiu was at Lin Zhiheng's feet and tried to drag a big fish away, but was stopped by Lin Zhiheng.

In the kitchen of the space, Shen Cheng made a white-cut chicken, stewed beef with tomato, fried snow peas and shredded pork with green pepper, mixed with vegetarian assorted vegetables and cold cucumber.The finished dishes are placed in the storage space, and they are still hot when taken out.

Lin Zhiheng made steamed yellow croaker, grilled oysters, braised prawns and hot and sour soup.

After that, the brothers made a lot of desserts, such as coconut jelly, red bean cake, chocolate panna cotta, mango pancake, etc., and saved them for the night vigil.There are also a few dumplings stuffed with bean paste, which can be dipped in sugar after a meal.When they were in the south, affected by the environment, they also ate zongzi during Chinese New Year.

In the evening, after the whole family finished making dumplings, grandpa went to cook the dumplings, and the two brothers began to set the table.

They drew all the curtains first, otherwise if so many good things were seen, people would definitely arouse suspicion.

The stove had already been fired in the house, and the coal collected at that time came in handy.Although you still need to wear fur at home, it's better than the freezing outside.

Dishes exuding tempting aromas were put on the table, and finally four wine glasses were placed on the table, but now they have developed a habit, as long as they are outside the space, they will never drink alcohol to prevent them from being sober when they encounter danger. Or get drunk and accidentally reveal family secrets.

"Grandma, grandpa! What do you drink?" Lin Zhiheng looked at the empty cup and shouted to the kitchen.

Grandpa: "Listen to your grandma."

Grandma: "What drink do we have?"

Lin Zhiheng thought for a while: "Grandma, you should have everything you can think of."

Grandma thought for a while: "Almond dew, it's been a long time."

Shen Cheng leaned into Lin Zhiheng's ear and whispered, "Brother Heng, what do you want to drink? I don't want to drink almond milk."

Lin Zhiheng: "Coke?"

Shen Chengxi smiled: "Okay!"

Almond dew is what Lin Zhiheng wanted to hoard before the end of the world, so he bought a lot and put it in the space.I bought a lot of Coke before the apocalypse, and collected it everywhere after the apocalypse. Now they have a mountain of cola, but if you drink too much of this thing, you will get osteoporosis, so you can only drink it slowly.

Grandma is pounding garlic and pouring vinegar.When the vinegar is poured, the dumplings are cooked and served.

The family had a great meal.

But the Long family was not so happy.

Early the next morning, Lin Zhiheng and Shen Chengcheng planned to pay New Year's greetings to the Long family first, and then they planned to go to Kong Jianzheng's residence to also pay New Year's greetings.

Who knew that after arriving at Long's house, everyone was in Grandpa Long's room with a heavy expression on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Zhiheng asked Long Shougang in a low voice.

Long Shougang looked frustrated: "Our grapes were stolen."

"What?" Lin Zhiheng was taken aback.

The grapes are usually placed on the floor in the bedroom of Grandpa Long and Grandma Long. The bedroom is connected to a closed balcony, and the bedroom and balcony are separated by a security door.But now a large piece of glass on the balcony is broken, and the grapes are missing.

Because the balcony is very large, the balcony of Long's house is very close to the balcony of the neighbor's house.The window that was smashed on the balcony was the one facing the balcony of the neighbor's house.But the neighbors and they do not belong to the same door, they are in the 2nd door of this building, and the neighbors are in the 3rd door.Therefore, there is no intersection at ordinary times.

"A piece of glass is broken?" Lin Zhiheng felt a little weird, "Can't the thief open the window directly? Why smash the glass?"

Long Jingqian: "Because there was an anti-theft door between the balcony and the bedroom, we didn't install an anti-theft guardrail on the balcony. The balcony window has been remodeled, and after it is locked, it can only be opened with a key. Maybe thieves cannot open the window. Can smash glass."

"Was the balcony door open when you came back?"

Long Shougang nodded: "I don't know which grandson pried it open."

Shen Cheng: "Do you have any other lost property in your family?"

Long Jingqian shook his head: "There is no trace of turning over in the house, food, crystal core, and all valuable things are not missing. There is no neighbor in this community that has been stolen. We are also suspecting that the thief should know about the grapes. Useful, specially for it."

Shen Cheng didn't speak again.The thief came here specially for the grapes. Maybe the thief had seen them carry the grapes and felt that these might not be ordinary grapes, but it was more likely that the news was leaked from the inside.But it's not convenient for an outsider to say such things.

Lin Zhiheng looked at something like a steel ring on the table next to him: "What is this?" He picked it up and looked at it.

Long Shougang: "Hey, this is a lantern made by grandma and the others. Isn't it the Chinese New Year? I glued a lantern to the window and glued it to the window."

"Lantern? Isn't this a steel ring?"

Tian Yao also came over, very angry: "After the window was smashed, the lantern was blown to the ground by the wind, and the lantern paper was burned. Fortunately, the floor is not made of wood, otherwise it wouldn't catch fire?"

There is also an adhesive strip stuck on the glass, which is the adhesive strip that the Long family used to stick the lantern to the glass before they took off the lantern.

Just as he was talking, the Long family gathered around the room.

"Is there anything unusual before you went to eat?" Lin Zhiheng asked, "Or did the neighbors hear any movement? The neighbor is so close to you, you should hear some movement."

Long Shougang: "The neighbor next door is not from the same door as us, and we don't usually meet each other. But we usually look over from our balcony, and no one has ever appeared on their balcony, and the windows have no anti-theft function, unlike residential buildings. It looks like. I knocked on their door yesterday, but no one responded. The neighbors downstairs said that they heard the sound of glass breaking after six o'clock. But the wind was too strong yesterday, and they couldn't hear it very clearly. And the wind was too strong , The windows of many homes are relatively old, and they will make a rattling sound, and it is difficult to distinguish whether the glass is broken or the wind is blowing the glass."

"After six o'clock? What time did you go to eat?"

Long Shou just thought about it, and Wen Tonghui answered: "It was just after six o'clock. We all went downstairs at that time, but I suddenly found that my hat was left upstairs, so I went upstairs to get it myself. At that time It's twenty past six."

It was dark at [-]:[-].

"And it's very strange. The neighbors around said that they didn't hear any other movement, and they didn't see anyone climbing up from downstairs."

The balcony of Grandpa Long's house is at the back of the whole building. Ordinary people go in and out of the building, and they can't see if someone climbs in from the back of the building.

"Strange." Grandpa Long put on his reading glasses and walked over.Seeing the appearance of the window, he shook his head.

"Grandpa! Why did you come here with so little clothes on?" Wen Tongxue complained, and put a coat on grandpa.The windows in this room are leaking, and the wind is blowing in.The temperature outside is so low that dripping water can turn into ice. Grandpa came here without a coat, and he is prone to frostbite.

"It's still Xiaoxue who is caring," Grandpa Long ironed his clothes and looked out the window again, "Usually when a window is smashed from the outside, most of the broken glass will fall on the window sill and inside the house. But this... "Grandpa Long looked down and shook his head.

Most of the broken glass fell on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner downstairs, and only a small part fell on the house.

"Grandpa, are you saying that the glass was not smashed from the window, but from inside the house?" Long Shou was startled, but he always felt that the scene in front of him was very strange, but he couldn't find anything unusual .Grandpa's words just woke him up.

Long Jingqian sighed secretly, he had already seen this abnormality.But he intends to wait until things are clearer, and he doesn't want to make the family suspicious of each other when things are not clear.

Grandpa nodded: "You've all thought about it, right? Escape won't solve the problem. No one wants our own people to do it, but we can't dare to doubt it when we have evidence."

"But, if the thief is already at our house, why did he smash the glass?" Wen Tongxue was very puzzled, "Why don't he just take the grapes? We're not at home anyway."

Long Jingkun sighed, and patted his sister: "If it's really... someone who is already in our house, smashing the glass is probably trying to fake a scene of sneaking into our house through the window and burglary. Or there are some more complex reasons that we can't imagine right now."

Listening to the Long family's discussion, Lin Zhiheng felt chills all over, and couldn't help leaning into Shen Cheng's arms.Mutual suspicion between relatives always makes people feel cold.

Shen Cheng put his arms around Lin Zhiheng, anyway, he absolutely believed in his brother and grandparents.
