Two days later.

On the Xingyue University campus, a group of captives and survivors were digging furiously, reveling in the vast wasteland. Elsewhere, Wu Wenhua and Liu Gaofeng, along with fifty or sixty armed men, six mutant dogs, and two mutant cats, entered the grounds of Xingyue Central Hospital.

There was no other way. They had been searching everywhere for the past two days, and had gone through seven or eight formerly high-end residential areas. Either they were driven out by the mutant animals that suddenly appeared, or the sewage treatment plants in those areas had been smashed into scrap by the collapsed houses.

After searching for a long time, it seemed that only the Central Hospital seemed to be the most suitable.

"Let's be quiet when we move things. There's a large group of crows living in the big banyan tree in the north building of the Central Hospital. They go out to look for food during the day. We can take this opportunity to go over and dismantle the sewage treatment plant. Please count the wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers and other things one by one. Don't rush in and find yourself without the things, or you'll get beaten up!" Wu Wenhua stepped deeply and shallowly in the snow, leading everyone carefully towards the Central Hospital.

“Ga-ga-ga~——!”

A black crow with its small eyes opened wide, cawing as it flew across the sky and quickly headed towards the southeast campus of Xingyue University to report the news.

Ruanruan had already promised it that as soon as these people were ready to start digging and transporting, they should come find her immediately.

666 flapped its wings happily. It had been staying here staring at people for the past two days and was almost turning into a frozen crow.

“Ga-ga-ga!”

As 666's cheerful barking entered Xingyue University, Xia Ruanruan received the news that Wu Wenhua and others had finally found the target and were preparing to move it. The little girl's eyes lit up, and she called Big Black Lightning and the mutant dogs out of Xingyue University.

In the past two days, in addition to the captives and survivors who have been digging and reclaiming the land, the flower paths originally planted with landscape trees, the cobblestone and floral student leisure lawns, and the abandoned pavilions have all been painstakingly transformed into suitable fertile fields. Dahei and Lightning have also fought three times in the battle for the leadership of the mutant dog pack. In the end, Dahei's calm and fierce fighting style, as well as his inherent advantage in size, directly crushed Lightning.

Although both are wolfhounds among mutant dogs, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. There is no room for two mutant dog packs in the same area. In the end, the two mutant dog packs merged into one, forming a dog pack with Dahei as the leader.

Xia Runrun sat on the big black back, put on a thick woolen hat, a heavy down jacket and small leather boots, wrapped herself up like a fat ball, and ran quickly towards the central hospital.

Ahem, she already had a plan.

If Wu Wenhua and his group did not encounter attacks from other mutant animals, she would pretend to wait until they dragged out the sewage treatment equipment, and then deliberately lead the mutant dogs to circle in front of them twice, passing by them "accidentally" a few times, so that the people in Wu Wenhua's shelter could see the grace of Dahei and the others.

But if those guys are in danger, she will ask Dahei to help rescue them.

Win people's hearts√

As she was thinking in her heart, the curve of the corners of her chubby little face became bigger and bigger. Xia Runrun felt as if she had taken another step towards growing up. Fortunately, no one was staring at her at this time, so the little girl was able to maintain her mysterious image of a little boss.

But these days, sometimes plans really can’t keep up with changes.

Wu Wenhua's shelter and Xingyue University are heading to the Central Hospital in opposite directions. The other one arrived at the hospital safely all the way, but Xia Runrun had to go a long way around on the big black dog's back. Two of the blocks were even completely blocked by collapsed houses and residences, so the mutant dogs had no choice but to take Xia Runrun around the South City Park and then turn to the Central Hospital.

South City Park is extremely large and is one of the three largest parks in Xingyue City. The green environment was excellent before the virus outbreak. Now, after the mutation of flora and fauna, the plants in South City Park are even taller and occupy the entire block, as if it is a primitive jungle in the city. Trees that are hundreds of meters high stand upright. Dahei takes Xia Ruanruan and the mutant dog pack to shuttle through the park.

The mutant dogs held their ears high to prevent sudden attacks from other mutant animals hiding in the park.

After all, not all mutant animals in this city are friendly.

“Hoohoo!—”

The mutant dogs ran at high speed, sticking out their tongues and panting.

"Why don't we take a break?" Xia Runrun was a little worried that the mutant dogs would find it difficult to run such a long distance at once. The mutant dogs had helped a lot inside and outside recently, and no one had had a good rest yet.

Even if it was just reclaiming wasteland in the school, the tree roots and boulders that were dug out were transported away with the help of mutant dogs. Otherwise, with the strength of ordinary people and without the help of machinery, it would be impossible to move so many things in a short time.

"Woof! Woof!" (Everyone stop and take a 20-minute break!)

Dahei howled at the mutant dogs, and dozens of mutant dogs behind him relaxed, stopping to sit or stand to rest and adjust their breathing.

However, at this moment...

Bursts of sharp bird calls, mixed with strange "ah-woo, ah-woo" sounds that sounded neither like a cat nor a tiger, came from far away and reached the ears of Xia Ruanruan and the mutant dogs. Dahei and the other mutant dogs that were resting stood up one by one, with their ears erected, and took a vigilant posture.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~ Gugu~!" (You ugly bastard! Are you blind to see such beautiful green tail feathers?! How dare you pull my tail feathers? You have no conscience! No! You have absolutely no sense of taste! You blind, ugly bastard!)

“Ah, ah!” (You fat green bird in front, stop right there! Ah! I didn’t get a bite again. Am I going to eat bugs again today?! Ah! Damn fat green bird, stop right there!)

Almost along with the chirping and humming sounds of birds in the woods came a beautiful green peacock and a petite and sleek leopard about 1.5 meters tall...?

Xia Ruanruan blinked in confusion. Wasn't that feline animal trying to hunt behind the green peacock a little leopard?!

There are large cloud-like patterns on the golden fur, which is different from the dense small patterns of the clouded leopard. The long black spots on this leopard's body are large and obvious, especially the round eyes, which have a black eyeliner effect, making the leopard's eyes look long and bright.

"Looking at the pattern and color, is it... clouded leopard?" Xia Runrun blinked and subconsciously expressed her judgment.

But isn’t this clouded leopard a little too small?

Egg Yolk, a stray cat, has now grown to more than three meters tall. Although the clouded leopard is the smallest of the leopard species, it is still a leopard, not a cat. The size of an adult clouded leopard is about between an adult husky and an adult wolfhound.

"Could it be a leopard cub that hasn't reached adulthood yet? But it doesn't look like one... Or is this little thing actually an ocelot? But the pattern and size aren't right..."

The green peacock alone is almost as big as the clouded leopard in front of it. In fact, because the peacock has a lot of tail feathers and wings, the green peacock is actually much taller than the clouded leopard in terms of appearance.

Xia Runrun was still thinking in her heart, but she had already decided to speak up to stop what was happening in front of her.

Alas, after the virus, these furry creatures have developed their own wisdom. Even if they don't speak the same language, it's impossible for her to just stand by and watch the tragedy happen.

Thinking in her heart that it would be better to let Yunbao go back with her to Xingyue University to eat, Xia Runrun took two steps forward and was about to speak.

However, before Xia Runruan could say anything, the green peacock, which was being chased by the clouded leopard, suddenly flapped its wings to increase its speed, and rushed towards Xia Runruan, shouting loudly as it rushed.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, gugugugu~" (Help, help! Who can save the beautiful, elegant, noble, generous, exquisite and charming green peacock?! My green beauty can dress herself up beautifully every day for her to see~ gugu~!)

Xia Ruanruan: "..."

Xia Ruanruan: “???!!!”

The words that Xia Runrun was about to say were almost choked back into her throat by the words of the green peacock, and she was almost stuck to death.

But at this moment, the green peacock on the opposite side was still jumping and flying, howling and screaming.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~" (Ah~ Beautiful green peacock, beautiful green peacock, why is that ugly clouded leopard chasing you? God must have noticed my beauty, and the clouded leopard is jealous~ Ah ah~ Help, help~ You ugly monster, why are you biting my tail feathers again?! Damn it!)

Xia Ruanruan: "..."

Xia Ruanruan gave an awkward yet polite smile. No wonder everyone said peacocks were beautiful, even when they were running for their lives. This green peacock was narcissistically praising itself for how beautiful, graceful, and elegant it was, while simultaneously disparaging the clouded leopard's appearance. It even included the word "beautiful" in its name.

Forget it, it’s more important to stop this fight as soon as possible.

The little girl cleared her throat and shouted loudly to the bird and leopard in front of her.

"Stop, stop! Stop it now~~!"

"Hoo-hoo-hoo~Ah-woo~" (Hoo-hoo-hoo~ I'm so tired~ Why doesn't that fat green-feathered bird stop?)

The clouded leopard's small size and streamlined muscles don't hold much fat, making it well-suited for short, high-speed pursuits. It quickly tires and gasps for air. However, its predator's perseverance remains ingrained. Just as the clouded leopard seizes its last chance, it pounces with all its might.

Out of the corner of his eye he suddenly saw a cub that the leopard liked, and that cub was yelling at him to stop.

“Clatter!—”

The clouded leopard widened its eyes, stepped on the snow, and stopped in its tracks. The green peacock that was being chased in front also stopped beside it because of Xia Ruanruan.
