26 Let's Not Draw Conclusions Too Early

Tu Tu looked at its master and asked back: [Master, are you confident that you can do it without his help?]

[No.] Zhu Lin answered honestly.

[Then what are you waiting for? Do you want to starve to death?] Tu Tu asked again.

Zhu Lin didn't want to be the first god to starve to death, so she obediently placed the pack of military food on Xiu Wu's open palm.

Tan Wei and Ji Yang's eyes widened, looking at Xiu Wu who was sitting next to Zhu Lin, and patiently teached Zhu Lin how to prepare military meals.

They watched for a while in silence before Tan Wei moved closer to Ji Yang and asked in a low voice: "Lao Yang, is Lao Xiu possessed by a demon?"

Ji Yang also lowered his voice, and whispered: "I also think he is possessed."

Xiu Wu heard their whispering but didn't bother to respond.

Sitting next to Zhu Lin, he opened the package, took out a bottle of water from his backpack, and said, "You just open this package like this. Pour a little water in the heater pack, then put the whole package inside the heater, then fold the heater. Make sure not to touch the heater until the steam dissipates, or you may burn your hands."

After preparing the rice and side dish, Xiu Wu took out another bottle of water, and then poured two-thirds of the water into his half-drunk water bottle. He opened a small packet of powder drink, poured it into the water, shook it a few times, and then handed the bottle containing orange water to Zhu Lin.

Seeing her curious look, Xiu Wu said, "It's an orange flavor drink."

He took out two small packets from the plastic pack and said, "These two are appetizers and desserts."

Xiu Wu glanced at the two big packages that were emitting steam on the bench, then looked at Zhu Lin, and said, "You can eat the appetizer first. The meal will be ready in a few minutes."

After speaking, he stood up and walked to the other side. Seeing Xiu Wu sitting there with a calm face, Zhu Lin thought for a while and asked, [Tu Tu, am I wrong about his identity?]

[What does Master mean?] Tu Tu asked curiously.

Zhu Lin looked at the two packages of food that were still steaming on the bench, and said, [I always thought he was the Devil God. But judging by his behavior since we met him in this world, it is impossible for him to be that Devil God that I knew.]

Hearing what she said, Tu Tu recalled the past and asked: [Master, are you sure about that?]

Zhu Lin nodded and said, [The Devil God is born from all the negative energy in the universe. He was born from chaos and couldn't be destroyed. He was born without emotion, and without feelings. It is impossible for him to help others, even if it is only a tiny little bit of help.]

She raised her eyes, looked at Xiu Wu, and said again: [For the Devil God, it is even more impossible to treat me kindly, who was born to kill him.]

Tu Tu looked at its master for a while, and then at Xiu Wu. The rabbit was silent for a moment, then said, [Master, let's not draw conclusions too early. Maybe... There's something else you don't know or notice.]

Seeing that its master fell into deep thought, the rabbit pointed to the two packs of food, and said, [Master, your meal is ready.]

Hearing what Tu Tu said, Zhu Lin's stomach growled again. She picked up the food, opened it and started eating. While eating, she looked at Xiu Wu from time to time, with obvious hesitation and doubts in her eyes.

After eating, Zhu Lin put away the empty packages, and then took out three packs of military food from the ice flower pendant. She carried the food and walked towards Xiu Wu. Seeing her coming, Ji Yang and Tan Wei glanced at each other and smiled at Zhu Lin.

Seeing their smiling faces, Zhu Lin also smiled. She looked at Xiu Wu and said, "Thank you for your help just now."

After speaking, she handed the food to Xiu Wu and said, "You can share it with your friends."

Zhu Lin saw that Xiu Wu only stared at her and didn't take the food, so she handed the food to Ji Yang. She remembered that he said that he had spatial ability, so their supplies should be handled by him.

Zhu Lin thought she had repaid Xiu Wu's help, so she called Tu Tu, and the two continued on their way. Putting the three packs of food into his space, Ji Yang said, "She knows how to repay kindness."

Xiu Wu glanced at him, and said, "Let's go."

After he said that, the trio followed Zhu Lin again. In this way, they walked until the sun disappeared, and a big, round red moon hung in the night sky.

Zhu Lin looked at the surrounding environment and decided to camp here tonight. After discovering that zombies are more active at night, she and Tu Tu decided to avoid fighting at night as much as possible.

Behind her, Tan Wei saw Zhu Lin walking towards the side of the road and sighed. He took out a bottle of water, took a few sips, and said, "She can really walk. If other women have the same attitude and perseverance as her, there must be a lot of teams that will accept female members."

Hearing this, Ji Yang smiled and said, "Unfortunately, most women who possess abilities think that they should be treated like princesses wherever they go. More than half of the women have this attitude, so who would dare to accept them into their team? It's just a pity for a woman with a good attitude like her."

Just as he was talking, Ji Yang saw that Xiu Wu had already walked towards Zhu Lin and began to help her pick up firewood.
