Listening to everyone's laughter, Bella, who had just put aside his doubts, couldn't help but raise his middle finger.
"Fake, you stinky men, Gavin don't count!"
"Don't think I have no brains. I'm a college student. Do you think I can't see that this puppy and I have the same name?"
After the words fell, Bella shuddered, then came to the puppy, raised his hand and rubbed its head.
On the sofa nearby, Old Robert held back his laughter, waved his hand towards Bella and the puppy, and said.
"It's okay. This child is very smart and is just one and a half years old. From now on, just change his name to Lola."
"No, just call us both Bella. You can't tell the difference between a human and a dog, right?"
Bella shook his head grandly, not minding sharing his name with the puppy.
But Bella doesn't mind, Old Robert does!
Old Robert hurriedly said to Bella.
"How can that be okay? I'm worried that when I ask Bella to roll around, if you suddenly roll over, wouldn't you scare me to death?"
"You?!" Bella's eyes suddenly widened and he cursed, "You old bullshit!"
After finishing his words, Bella raised two middle fingers towards Old Robert.
Old Robert playfully gave Bella a thumbs up.
Everyone around him couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that the team atmosphere was just right, Gavin didn't rush to start the meal. After all, he would not miss every opportunity to adjust the team atmosphere.
It wasn't until everyone's laughter gradually dissipated that Gavin finally clapped his hands and said.
"Okay, guys, it's time to eat."
"Doris's cooking skills are not to be boasted. What are you waiting for, waiting for me to show you my poor cooking skills, such as a dung beetle burrito and a cockroach burger?"
After the words fell, Gavin got up and went to the restaurant, picked up the dinner plate, filled it with rice, tomatoes and eggs, threw in two pieces of stew, dug out a big spoonful of salad, and handed the plate to Old Robert on the sofa.
After taking the meal, Old Robert grinned and said jokingly.
"Fortunately I'm not old enough yet to ask you to stuff food into my mouth."
"Oh, don't worry. Since you are the only old ghost in the team, even if you peed on the bed, I will at least find a way to clean you up."
Gavin joked with him, patted the back of his hand and wanted to leave.
However, Old Robert suddenly grabbed Gavin's hand, stared at Gavin with squinted muddy smiling eyes, and spoke word by word.
"Good boy, I don't want that kind of life, especially in the kind of... apocalyptic future you talked about!"
"So, if there is a day when I can't even speak, that means I can't even teach you some life lessons with my mouth."
"My child, you must give me a shot when you fall, for the sake of me holding you before!"
Having said this, Old Robert's haggard hands continued to grip Gavin's wrist with extra force, as if they would not let go until Gavin responded.
Seeing this, Gavin was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said.
"I can't even say anything, but you still want to control what I do. That's a pretty idea, old guy~"
After the words fell, Gavin broke free from Old Robert's hand and returned to the dining table.
Everyone had already left him the main seat, and he sat down unceremoniously, carrying his own rice and starting to eat.
Bella, the third person on the left, couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Um... don't we say prayers before meals?"
"Stop that ink stain, girl, we'll just pray for this from now on!"
Snap!
Eugene interrupted Bella, raised his hand and slapped m1873 on the table.
m1873 can be said to be the standard equipment for most men Texas, and it is also an enduring hard currency in the single-action revolver industry.
Its low price, stable quality, simplicity, efficiency, and durability make countless men fall in love with it.
Of course, men prefer this thing to look cool!
Seeing the pistol on the table, Bella shrugged indifferently, and then couldn't help but shudder.
In February, the lake water is only two or three degrees above zero, and the chill cannot be dispelled by a hot bath.
Seeing this, Winnie curled his lips, then gave Bella a bowl of broth, while Doris handed her the pasta.
On the sofa in the distance, Old Robert stuffed a mouthful of rice and yelled at Gavin depressedly.
"Gavin, you are just a bastard, I can't get used to eating rice at all!"
"Okay, old man, it's good if you have something to eat. What you eat is the same as mine!"
Gavin raised his middle finger from afar, and then joined the others in eating.
Soon, everyone put down their plates one after another.
Only Bella himself raised his head suspiciously and asked.
"Do... all eat so quickly?"
"Well, the one who eats is the slowest to wash the dishes."
Gavin pointed at Bella, and Bella had no choice but to nod.
Then, Gavin stood up and said to everyone while leaning on the dining table.
"Doris, Winnie, take care of Bella and Old Robert. Bella may be short of cold medicine. There should be some in the car."
"William, just stay in the hall and watch out, and pay more attention to the sounds outside the villa. Once there is a zombie attack, no matter how many there are, take everyone directly to the backyard dock and take a boat to hide on the lake."
"Old Robert, take care of your dog and don't let it bark outside the yard!"
"No problem, you evil farmer, my children never bark~"
Old Robert raised his hand to Gavin from afar.
Then, Gavin gave Madison and Eugene a look and said.
"Madison, Eugene, we should let Old Robert open our eyes!"
After the words fell, Eugene and Madison stood up immediately.
When Old Mac stood up, Bella couldn't help but look up. That big body was really scary.
Watching the three of them walk all the way to Old Robert's sofa, Bella lowered her head and continued eating, leaving her alone unfinished.
For some reason, Bella narrowed his eyes.
She has never been urged to eat before. The people sitting next to her now are not his parents and boyfriend. He has no boyfriend...
Wait... parents?!
Bella's eyes widened and she immediately wanted to say something, but seeing everyone looking nervous, she didn't speak after all.
At the same time, Old Robert put the rice into his mouth and muttered.
"Go to the bookshelf directly behind the chair in my study on the third floor and find a copy of A Detailed Guide to Tudor Plate Armor Crafting. There is a key inside."
"The gun room is the room on the right side of the first floor closest to the side door. There are several good guns in it, and even more... gadgets that I built privately!"
When Old Robert talked about gadgets, he gave Gavin a narrow look, but Gavin didn't pay much attention.
His attention is focused on the book Old Robert said.
"Let's go and have a look!"
As soon as he waved his hand, the three of them rushed to the third floor.
After arriving in the study room, Eugene naturally leaned towards the window and looked outside, Madison went to look for the key, and Gavin looked at the entire bookshelf with gleaming eyes!
It is true that there are some works like Wuthering Heights on the bookshelf, but more of them are craft knowledge that can be used by all kinds of blacksmiths!
Gavin simply flipped through two books, with more and more joy in his eyes, because these books not only cover modern forging techniques, but also cover ancient forging techniques from the 14th to 16th centuries!
What are traces of civilization?
These are fucking traces of civilization!
Books and knowledge!
For a moment, Gavin made a decision silently.
Once they take back the farm and successfully take root on the farm.
No matter how short of a man there is, he will try his best to go to a library where he can explore, bring back all the books, and keep them well!
Whether it's iron and steelmaking, or books on various professional subjects such as electricity, radio, etc.!
Perhaps in the future, the true survival of human civilization will be based on the inheritance of these books!
Just when Gavin was feeling excited, Madison returned to him holding the key and said.
"Boss, we should go downstairs."
"Huh? Well, let's go!"
Gavin nodded heavily, glanced at the bookshelf full of craft books reluctantly, and then took the lead and walked downstairs.
At this time, Gavin doesn't even care about Old Robert's gun room.
What could be more rare than the crystallization of civilization?
A few rifles, a few spray guns, or a few collectible old revolvers?
That's bullshit!
Just like that, Gavin's mind was filled with books and he opened the gun room door carelessly.
Then...
"Waltfak!" Madison opened his mouth wide.
"Jesus, what the hell is that!"
Eugene almost broke his teeth!
As for Gavin, he looked blankly at the golden light in front of him, swallowed hard, and cursed.
"Damn it, there's a golden item!"
