A slight noise suddenly came from inside the room in the darkness.

Lin Ruo immediately opened her eyes upon hearing the sound and looked to the side. Sure enough, she saw Ah Shou's big face. Looking further back, she saw Ah Fu standing to the side, wagging its tail and looking at her. They had finally woken up after sleeping for five days!

"Woof woof!"

Ah Shou was overjoyed to see Lin Ruo. It quickly pounced on Lin Ruo. In just five days, the two of them had grown to a meter long and 60 centimeters tall, much larger than the average adult dog. Although Lin Ruo hadn't weighed them, judging from their muscular build, they were no light dogs either.

After Ah Shou mutated, he moved very fast, but in Lin Ruo's eyes it was as if he was in slow motion.

She rolled to the side, easily dodging the attack, and sat up, ignoring Ah Shou's aggrieved look. She laughed and scolded, "Did you just wake up and still have some misunderstanding about your weight? Your big body is going to crush me!"

Ah Shou understood, looked down, and saw that he had indeed grown up. His dog eyes showed great confusion. He turned to look at Ah Fu and found that Ah Fu had also grown up.

"Awoo!" Afu sensed Ashou's confusion and barked at him.

Lin Ruo smiled knowingly, walked to their side, and hugged them, one big head on each side. "Don't be confused. You've absorbed special energy and mutated. You'll become stronger and live longer in the future, so we can stay together for a long, long time, okay?"

Ah Shou was happy. It loved its owner and wanted to stay with it for a long, long time! It stuck out its big tongue and licked Lin Ruo's chin, its tail wagging rapidly.

"Gurgle~"

Ah Shou's stomach rumbled, and the sound it was about to make turned into a whimper. It nuzzled its big head against Lin Ruo, "Woo woo woo~"

Lin Ruo was both amused and exasperated. Although the two of them were currently plump and healthy, their bellies were really flat, indicating that they were truly hungry.

"I'll go prepare food for you."

Lin Ruo stood up and walked to the living room. Afu obediently squatted by the bedroom door, watching Lin Ruo's movements, while Ashou followed Lin Ruo out like a little shadow.

The entire room was pitch black, and the curtains in the living room were still drawn. She took out a lamp from her spatial storage and placed it on the dining table in the living room. Then she took out two basins with a diameter of half a meter from her spatial storage.

The old dog bowls were definitely not enough for their food intake, so from now on, the feeding units will all be measured in bowls.

Then she took out a raw pig leg from her space, weighing about 20-30 pounds. With a gentle wave of her hand, the space blade cut the pig leg in half, and placed the meat into two basins. She soaked each basin in half a basin of goat milk, added a few raw eggs, and five large meat buns.

This "breakfast" was ready, and Ah Shou and Ah Fu were already drooling with envy. However, since Lin Ruo hadn't spoken yet, they remained seated on the ground.

"Alright, dinner's ready."

As soon as Lin Ruo placed the basin in the corner of the living room, Ashou and Afu rushed over. Although Afu was farther away, he was just as fast as Ashou and they started eating almost at the same time.

They ate incredibly fast. The raw pig leg bone was so hard, but they chewed it without any effort, as easily as eating a fish bone.

This gave Lin Ruo a general understanding of their current bite force. In the future, their various abilities will definitely improve significantly. For an initial mutation to have such strength, it seems that both of them have top-notch aptitude.

"Creak, creak..."

The room was filled with the sounds of Ah Shou and Ah Fu grinding their bones. Lin Ruo shook her head helplessly, raised her hand to look at her watch. It was already 4 a.m., and she didn't need to sleep any longer. She might as well get up and exercise.

Five days have passed since the apocalypse, but the torrential rain continues unabated. The floodwaters are only half a meter away from reaching the second floor. The community is now without power and water, but the rain outside shows no signs of letting up. We can barely survive by collecting some rainwater.

The property management company couldn't do anything either; the water level was too high and the ground pressure was too great, so they simply couldn't pump the water out.

To make matters worse, the continuous torrential rains have clogged the sewers, leaving both clean and sewage nowhere to go, making it difficult for people to even use the toilet.

However, official news has been slow to arrive, and there is currently no signal, no electricity, and complete disconnection from the outside world. Many people have realized the seriousness of the situation.

Some property management staff and security guards working in Longyuan Community are starting to worry about their families, but now it is extremely difficult to go home.

The water is too deep; swimming back is simply not feasible. Moreover, the water is not still; although the current is not rapid, it still poses a great danger.

Suddenly, everyone was on edge, desperately trying to protect their own survival supplies, fearing that someone would steal them.

Meanwhile, the second floor is about to be flooded, and the residents on the second floor can no longer live in their homes. They can only seek help from their neighbors in the same building, but under the current circumstances, who would want strangers to live in their homes?

After finishing her workout, Lin Ruo, following her usual routine from the past few days, began preparing the ingredients she needed. This time, she planned to make a lot of dumplings and store them in her spatial dimension. Whenever she wanted to eat them, she could simply boil them in hot water—convenient and delicious.

"Knock knock knock~"

Just then, someone knocked on Lin Ruo's door.

Lin Ruo, who had just finished training, stopped and turned to look at the door.

Ah Shou and Ah Fu had already finished breakfast and were resting in the living room when they heard someone knocking on the door. Ah Fu immediately ran to the door and kept staring at it, while Ah Shou ran over and barked wildly at the door.

From the outside, the bark was deep and resonant, and upon closer listening, it even carried a low growl, sounding muffled and aggressive. The first impression was that the dog inside was very large and fierce.
