When Leng Fengmei woke up, it was already broad daylight, and the sunlight filled the entire bedroom, making her feel warm and comfortable.

For a moment, she thought she was in her old home.

I heard a cacophony of voices downstairs, some familiar, some unfamiliar...

Wait, wasn't I killing mutated monsters? How did I and my family escape danger last night?

While rubbing her throbbing head, she tried to recall the events of last night...

With a creak, the door was gently pushed open, and Song Chengyang slowly walked in carrying a bowl of hot noodle soup. "You're awake. How are you feeling?"

"I'm alright now. Where am I? Where are the children?" Leng Fengmei asked anxiously. Only then did she realize that her voice was a little hoarse.

"This is a shopping mall nearby, and the children..."

Before Xinba could finish speaking, a man's voice interrupted them.

"Hey! You're awake. I was just telling your older brother that it's all thanks to you guys killing those monsters, otherwise we really wouldn't dare stay here. Sigh! I wish you guys had come sooner!"

Leng Fengmei looked at the young man in his early twenties in front of her and asked suspiciously, "Are there many of you?"

"Well... not that many. Some ran away, some died, and the remaining forty-odd of us spontaneously organized ourselves. Hey! We just stuck together for warmth." Chen Yang felt a little nervous for some reason.

"Didn't the government organize a rescue operation?" Leng Fengmei asked curiously, because her cell phone had lost signal since she left home, so she knew nothing about the situation.

“We were notified at first that the meteorite was dangerous and that we should evacuate as soon as possible. The country was also setting up a safe zone. But, we were fine during the previous epidemic, so we didn’t take it seriously this time. We thought that the meteorite had been moved away, and if anything happened, we would have been exposed to radiation by now! But... but who knew that animals could mutate? Yesterday, your area was a seafood market, which is where the meteorite fell.”

"Besides those things mutating, have any other creatures mutated here?" Leng Fengmei wanted to know more!

"Yes, sis, let me tell you, the other day when we went out to find supplies, we almost got wiped out. You can't even imagine what could mutate!" Chen Yang got excited as he talked about it.

Seeing the person enthusiastically explaining things to her, Leng Fengmei didn't want the conversation to fall flat, so she feigned surprise and asked, "What is it?"

"Cockroaches!" she said, rubbing the goosebumps off her body.

"It's so big! Half a person tall! My goodness, it eats everything! It's in a shopping mall more than ten kilometers ahead. Luckily, our people were quick-witted, and we're also lucky to be alive, otherwise..."

"Why don't you leave?" Old Song asked curiously.

"Where could we go? If there were anywhere to go, we would have left already. Although this place is not safe, we don't lack anything for the time being!" Chen Yang said helplessly.

"Where did the children go?" Leng Fengmei asked once before, but Song Chengyang probably didn't hear her, so she had to ask again.

"Sister, the two kids and their pet are playing downstairs. Your family has been a great help to us. Our people are cooking now, let's eat and chat in a bit!" Hehe, he said, then touched his head shyly!

"You're too kind. We wouldn't dare accept such help; we were just trying to protect ourselves!" Leng Fengmei said with a smile.

"Sis, you just woke up! Oh! You haven't had breakfast yet! I won't bother you any longer. My name is Chen Yang, just call me if you need anything!" He said, walking out apologetically.

"It's alright, you go ahead and get busy!" Song Chengyang said as he saw the person to the door.

After Chen Yang's footsteps faded into the distance, Leng Fengmei asked him, "Did you see them? Who were they?"

Song Chengyang thought for a moment, "There were about ten young men, a few women, and a few elderly people, but I didn't see any children!"

Leng Fengmei thought there shouldn't be any danger, but she still wanted to go down and check.

Looking at the slightly cool noodles on the table, I ate them in a few bites—I couldn't waste them!

"Did you collect the crystal cores last night?" Although he knew he couldn't refuse, he still asked with some concern.

"I took them. How could I not take them? More than two hundred blue crystal cores and more than ten yellow ones. I locked them all in the car. I had Big Black sleep in the car and keep an eye on them!" Song Chengyang said and walked out of the room.

Leng Fengmei washed up briefly and then went downstairs.

From afar, I could hear voices coming from the first floor, and at a glance, I saw a group of busy figures!

There were people washing vegetables, rinsing rice, and a rather fat man flipping a large ladle on the stove.

This kitchen was obviously modified later; perhaps they thought it would be more convenient to eat here!

"Oh! You're awake, little sister!" A woman with a loud voice greeted her familiarly. Leng Fengmei smiled and nodded. "I'm sorry to have troubled you. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"No need, no need, you're perfectly fine now, go and rest, we'll be done soon!" She said, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something more.

Leng Fengmei didn't care and wasn't interested in asking. "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony then! Just call me if you need me."

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

"Owner!"

At that moment, three excited voices rang out almost simultaneously!

Leng Fengmei really wanted to rub its ears, but seeing Shar Pei's aggrieved eyes, which were almost dripping with tears, she quickly rubbed its head instead.

Xin Xin immediately hugged her own leg, while Han Han saw the two blocking her way and could only watch anxiously as they couldn't get through.

Leng Fengmei quickly walked outside, otherwise that big guy Shapi would block the door!

A woman's surprised voice came from behind, "Look, this mutant dog is quite intelligent!"
