Just then, several voices came from downstairs, and Leng Fengmei recognized them... her family had arrived.

Only a single, blood-red, dead fish eye remained, staring intently at Leng Fengmei. Leng Fengmei watched its gaping maw, and just as it lunged forward, she swiftly thrust her knife into its jaw...

The big fish was about to bite when suddenly a sharp pain shot through it. It instinctively tried to shake off the knife, but it was already deeply embedded in its flesh!

Even though Leng Fengmei reacted and moved quickly, her hand was still cut by the bone spurs on her body!

At that moment, four figures appeared and swiftly pounced forward…

"This damned beast, how dare you hurt my master! I'll tear you to pieces!" Big Black's angry, scolding voice echoed in my mind.

"Mom, go and rest, let us do it!" Xinbao raised her dagger and started stabbing wildly, joining the others in attacking the monster.

Leng Fengmei wanted to speak up and stop her, but then she thought better of it... Since the child has her own ideas, let's give her more opportunities to grow!

Seeing that Song Chengyang and his companions were more than capable of dealing with the fish monster, they turned around to look at the little boy who had suddenly gone silent.

Unexpectedly... the child was squatting in the corner with tears streaming down his face, hugging his knees and crying silently!

Despite the excruciating pain, Leng Fengmei knelt down and gently asked, "Where are your family members?"

"Waaah...I...I don't...I don't know," the little boy sobbed instantly, perhaps because he saw someone familiar.

After such a shock, it's better to cry than to keep it inside.

Leng Fengmei picked up the little boy and gently patted his back. "Don't be afraid, the monster is about to be killed. Auntie will take you to find your mother in a little while, okay?"

Hmm... Hmm... Okay! Leng Fengmei looked at the little boy who was still sobbing and felt a pang of pity in her heart!

He's not even as tall as Xinbao, his face is patchy with black and white marks, and his little hands are filthy. Such a small child, all alone and helpless... In a world where even adults struggle to survive... How terrified he must be!

Leng Fengmei took out a pack of wet wipes from her backpack and gently wiped the little person in front of her until the skin became fair and tender...

Seeing that he had stopped crying and was looking at her with bright eyes, she said, "Auntie, look, your wrist is bleeding." She pointed to it with her finger.

"It's okay, Auntie doesn't feel any pain." Looking at the little one's questioning eyes, Leng Fengmei casually took out two lollipops, some cookies, and a bag of milk from her backpack!

The little boy's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but swallow hard. He hadn't had a proper meal in ages. At first, those people would give him some food, but after a while, no one "pitied" him anymore…

Leng Fengmei opened a bag of milk and handed it to him, saying, "Drink this."

Then she opened a bag of biscuits and fed him.

"What's your name?" Leng Fengmei asked, watching the little guy wolf down his food. "Don't rush, eat slowly..."

The little boy obediently stopped and swallowed the food in his mouth with great effort.

"I...I am Yun Sheng!" After saying that, he looked timidly at Leng Fengmei, and hesitated to put the thing in his mouth.

Yunsheng, why aren't you eating? Auntie was just telling you to eat slowly, afraid you'd choke, she didn't say you couldn't eat...

The little one then lowered his head and continued eating. Seeing this, my heart ached. What had this child gone through...?

The fish monster was completely devoid of flesh, torn apart by Big Black and Shar-Peis. Finally, Dad Xin slashed open its belly and pulled out a crystal the size of an adult's fist!

Leng Fengmei looked at Shapi and Dahei and said, "You two eat! Come find us when you're done."

Then, holding the little boy's hand, he walked to the drinks section, opened a bottle of alcohol, and poured it onto his wound!

Dad said, "Why don't you eat the crystals?"

"It's not serious, don't waste it," Leng Fengmei said indifferently.

Then I took out a roll of gauze from my backpack. I got it from the pharmacy, but I haven't used it much!

"Mommy, does it hurt?" Xinbao looked at a little boy clinging tightly to his mother's clothes, his little face immediately scrunched up, "Mommy, hug me..."

Leng Fengmei wanted to say it was nothing, but seeing her daughter's sudden clinginess, she quickly said, "Mommy's hand hurts, it hurts so much!"

"Auntie..." Seeing Yun Sheng look up at her with a puzzled expression, she suddenly remembered that she had told him it didn't hurt anymore, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Come on, Auntie will take you to pick out some clothes. Look at your clothes, they're so dirty and smelly!"

With a heart in her left hand and a cloud in her right, Leng Fengmei walked towards the children's clothing section, chatting and laughing.

"Sister! We've packed almost everything. Let's see if you need anything else. We'll help you pack. Many hands make light work!" Dongzi led a few men over enthusiastically, each with an excited smile on their face.

"Then I'll trouble you. These clothes, daily necessities, and this quilt..." I felt myself being infected by their cheerful atmosphere.

"It's no trouble at all, sis. Just tell me if you need anything else. I see there's a lot of milk powder downstairs, and the expiration dates are quite fresh, plus a lot of fruit..."

As they talked, the group marched downstairs in a grand procession. Dad packed a lot of necessities, stuffing them until they couldn't fit any more.

Everyone knew to make their way back under the cover of darkness. Xin Xin rode on the back of the Shar Pei, Chen Yang sat in the passenger seat, Han Han held Yun Sheng and Dong Zi sat in the back, and Leng Feng Mei sat on the roof holding Xiao Hei!

Creak, creak... Leng Fengmei and Sha Pi noticed immediately and reached out to knock on the car window, "Stop the car!"

"What's wrong, sis?" Chen Yang asked nervously, sticking his head out.

“Something’s happened. You guys wait here for a bit, I’ll go check it out first…” Then, all five trucks stopped where they were. Leng Fengmei lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped off the roof of one of the trucks, rushing towards the source of the sound. Dahei followed closely behind, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared from sight.

Just a hundred meters in front of her, a swarm of giant, black ants, each one as big as an adult, crawled rapidly toward her, leaving a trail of destruction like a locust plague. They even chewed up trash cans to pieces...

Leng Fengmei hurriedly turned back to inform Chen Yang, "A group of mutated ants, as big as adults, so many you can't even see the end of them, are crawling this way. Tell everyone to take a detour..."

Chen Yang quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie. "Everyone turn around immediately! There are a lot of mutated ants ahead. Otherwise, if we get surrounded, none of us will survive!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly turned around, but because the road was too narrow and most of the vehicles were trucks, the turnaround took some time. Just as they were about to start moving...

The swarm of ants behind me surged forward like a black tide...
