When the green-feathered parrot heard that it didn't need to leave this warm little compartment, its tail instantly lifted high, its face full of surprise, and its neck twisted back and forth happily, as if it was doing square dance.

There is nothing more comfortable for a bird than being able to live in a warm nest in the middle of winter when there is a snowstorm outside!

"Quack, quack, quack~!" The green-feathered parrot flapped its wings happily.

“Dongdongdong——”

Hearing what the green-feathered parrot said, Yang Fan couldn't help but frown and knocked on the car window.

Xia Ruanruan poked her little head out and carefully recounted what the green-feathered parrot had just said, "Uncle Yang, it looks like we have to turn south before we can get onto the national highway."

Before the outbreak, people had only four means of transportation for long-distance travel: cars, trains, planes, and ships. The last three are obviously unusable now, and there are very few places where cars can drive. However, they can take the national highway to the Longquan Survival Base in Lin Province.

The little girl was wearing a down jacket, and was round like a white fur ball. With her big black eyes, she looked at him with such trust, which made Yang Fan feel warm in his heart. He didn't ask whether he should go to the front to explore and then make a decision. He waved to Old Man Yan and Gugu, and informed everyone to take a detour.

Since the green-feathered parrot has been subdued by the little girl and is willing to stay with them, it will probably not deceive them.

The green-feathered parrot looked aggrieved and didn't dare to show up to confront the other mutant dogs, for fear that it would accidentally annoy the little girl in front of it and be driven away by the other party. Xia Runrun seized the opportunity and spoke to comfort the mutant dogs around her. She persuaded them in a gentle manner for seven or eight minutes before the team returned to normal and completely quieted down.

Dahei led the way, followed by Gugu, running forward quickly.

“Huff, huff, huff—”

The wind and snow outside the car rushed into the car as the mutant dog ran. Xia Runrun touched her slightly cold cheeks, carefully lowered the window, and locked the buckle to prevent the window from being blown open by the cold wind. However, this dimmed the light in the car, and Xia Runrun could only vaguely see the furnishings inside the car.

She stretched out her little hand and touched Xiaobai, who had not been woken up for such a long time. Feeling the other's furry and soft little head and listening to the even breathing beside her ear, Xia Ruanruan shook her head helplessly, but subconsciously laughed twice, with a bit of pampering and helplessness in her eyes. She raised her hand and covered Xiaobai with the quilt.

"Cats are indeed known to everyone for their long sleep schedules, even cat demons are no exception... This one sleeps at least 15 hours a day. Even with all the noise outside just now, it was able to sleep..."

Forget it, it’s pitch black in the carriage, so she might as well sleep with everyone else.

Dahei ran very steadily. Even when he encountered various obstacles on the road, he was still steady while carrying the small carriage. Xia Runrun fell asleep in the carriage quickly, and 666 and the green-feathered parrot seemed to be infected and started to sleep together.

…

Xingyue City, Mingyue Town in the far south.

The wildly growing plants almost completely covered the entire Mingyue Town with green. Giant trees grew out from the roofs, directly crushing entire rows of houses. Only a few houses closest to the national highway with the least plants around them had room to survive, but they looked crooked and it seemed that they could not hold on for much longer.

And in these abandoned houses, the laughter of adult men and the crying of women and children intertwined together, forming a frost colder than the wind and snow.

"Hehehe! What do you think we should do with this mother and son? Keep the woman, and the man... hehehe?" As he spoke, the man was wearing a black down jacket and holding a black steel knife that was polished to a bright shine. He made a knife-slashing gesture towards his neck.

"How many days have we not eaten meat? A bowl of meat soup would be nice in this cold weather." The other man licked the corner of his mouth and looked at the little boy with even more fiery eyes.

"Please, please let my son go... You can ask me to do anything, you can ask me to do anything..." The young woman's tears rolled down and she shrank back holding the child.

The little boy, who looked only six or seven, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with fear and anger. He hugged his mother tightly, wanting to rush to the front and fight the men to the death. However, his small body was tightly embraced by his mother. The woman kept begging for mercy, "Really, I'll do anything you want me to do, laundry, cooking, cleaning, and anything else... As long as you are willing to let my son go, I will accept it."

The woman gritted her teeth, looked at the three men who gradually surrounded her, and unbuttoned her shirt.

"Hehe, you are quite self-conscious. It's a pity that I'm not interested now... It's more cost-effective to have some hot soup in this cold weather..." The man with the steel knife kicked the young woman away, picked up the struggling little boy with one hand, and raised his hand to pierce the little boy's heart with a knife!

"No!--"

The woman screamed in pain and tried desperately to rush over to save her child, but she was pinned to the ground by the other two men and could not move at all.

It looked like the little boy was about to be killed!

"Whoosh!——" a muffled groan!

I saw a sharpened wooden spear, as thick as a wrist, piercing through the void outside the door and piercing the fragile neck of the man with the steel knife, blood splattering!

"Hehehe..." The man with the steel knife widened his eyes, covering his pierced throat, and bright red blood flowed out from between his fingers. "Bang!——" The man fell down, and the man with the steel knife died with his eyes open. The steel knife in his hand and the little boy fell to the ground, splashing dust.

When their companion was suddenly attacked, the other two men no longer cared about the suppressed young woman. They stood up and fixed their eyes on a young man at the door with waist-length black hair, a cold and distinguished temperament, and wearing a white coat. The man had pale skin and a cold gaze like the abyss. When he looked at the two men, it was more like looking at two dead bodies, without any warmth and full of indifference.

"Who are you?! Why did you kill my brother?!" Anger filled their bodies, and the two men stared at Chu Hang with hatred.

Chu Hang had a blank expression on his face, his eyelids slightly raised, "Sure enough, you're a scumbag. You'll be a scumbag your whole life... It's worth it that I've been looking for you all these days."

These three men were all from the Pearl Shelter before. Even when they were able to transform into cats, he saw two of them tying up three children from outside. In the end, the three children died on the operating table in the underground laboratory.

"Huh? What do you mean?!" The two men nervously gripped their weapons, a thin layer of sweat oozing out of their palms.

"That is... you can go die..."

Chu Hang's voice was light and airy, like the light snow drifting in the sky, or like the breeze across the clouds.

Only two soft "Shua!" sounds were heard in the room. The two men in front of him had already fallen to the ground, clutching their necks. They could only stare with eyes wide open in pain as they watched the blood spurt from their necks and their life force fade away.

Chu Hang glanced coldly at the three people on the ground. His aura could blend into the environment, which was the best camouflage. In addition, his transformed body made him much faster than an ordinary person. Even though these two people were concentrating their minds and staring at him closely at all times, their body reflexes still couldn't keep up with his speed.

"Thank you, thank you..." The young woman huddled in the corner holding her child, her eyes fixed on Chu Hang, whose hand was dripping with blood from the long knife, and her tone was cautious.

Chu Hang didn't even move his eyes. He raised his hand and wiped the blood stains on the long knife onto the fallen man.

"Thank you, thank you sir. I don't know your name so that we can thank you in the future..." The young woman looked at the man in front of her, who seemed to have no interest in the mother and son. Then she mustered up the courage to stand up.

Chu Hang said nothing. He and the mother and son were just casual acquaintances, and they wouldn't have any contact again. There was no need to make any unnecessary moves. The man turned and was about to walk out, but just after he took two steps, a slightly dirty little hand grabbed the sleeve of Chu Hang's white coat from behind.

"Brother, brother...can you teach me how to use a knife? I also want to be as strong as you and protect my mother." The little boy raised his head and looked at Chu Hang with expectant eyes.

The little boy's eyes were bright and clear, and full of determination.

Chu Hang lowered his head, looked into the other's bright and clear eyes, then looked at the other's dirty little face. He couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met Xia Runrun when he was still a little white cat. The little girl's eyes at that time also had the same decisiveness and determination.

"I'm sorry, I can't stay here."

Chu Hang gently pulled out his sleeve and watched the light in the little boy's eyes gradually extinguish. He then sighed and said slowly, "From here, follow the national highway towards Xingyue City, and go to the southeast campus of Xingyue University. There is enough space for you and your mother to survive there, and you can also learn how to become stronger from others there."

It had been a long time since he had spoken such a long sentence in one breath, and Chu Hang's body was a little uncomfortable with it. Fortunately, this sentence gave the little boy unlimited motivation, and his eyes, which had originally dimmed, instantly brightened up completely. Even the young woman next to him apologized repeatedly.

"Then...brother, what's your name? Can you tell me?" The little boy looked eagerly, still unwilling to give up.

"Chu Hang."

Chu Hang lowered his eyes, thinking of the little girl who didn't want to study in the past and looked at him eagerly, and finally softened his heart.

After saying the last sentence, Chu Hang didn't linger, turning to leave the abandoned house. These three people were the last three he had found in a while. He felt as if he was relieved, but also a little confused. He didn't know what to do next. It was as if the hatred of the past few years had vanished at this moment...

Chu Hang stepped out of the door with his left foot, thinking about returning to the original underground laboratory again.

“Da da da!——”

Suddenly, a series of running sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground came from not far away, and the sounds were getting closer and closer!

Chu Hang frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the direction of the sound. It sounded like a large group of mutant animals...

"Yes, what's coming?..."

The young woman's voice was trembling, and she was shaking all over as she held the little boy.

If the three men just now could still give her the courage to resist, then a large group of mutant beasts was obviously beyond the young woman's resistance.

"Go in... don't come out." Chu Hang stood in front of the door, holding a long knife, and ordered in a cold voice.

…

“Da da da da!——”

Dahei and the other mutant dogs were sprinting along the road. They had to find a place to stay before nightfall. Winter usually gets dark early, and with the snowstorm still raging, it was already dark at just after four in the afternoon. To reach the Longquan Survival Base as quickly as possible, they only rested for an hour or so at noon. If it weren't for the significantly enhanced physical fitness of the animals after the virus outbreak, ordinary dogs wouldn't be able to run for such a long time. Even so, Dahei and the others were exhausted and panting.

"Look! Aren't there some abandoned old houses over there? Let's rest there tonight!"

Yang Fan called on everyone and the mutant dog to move forward quickly. Xia Runrun opened the car window and, ignoring the wind and snow that poured in, stared out the window at the abandoned houses that were hazy in the wind and snow.

However, as the mutant dog got closer and closer.

A very familiar face with long black hair down to the waist and wearing a thin white coat suddenly appeared in Xia Runruan's eyes, causing Xia Runruan to subconsciously open her eyes wide and look down at Xiaobai who was leaning not far away from her.

Two, two, little, little, little white? !

Or—twins?! Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai?!

His brain instinctively buzzed, and Master Kang stared at Chu Hang without blinking.

And Chu Hang at this time——

I was also a little dumbfounded.

Chu Hang: ???

Didn't this group choose to cross the Xingyue Bridge and head towards the national highway, resting in the direction of Yueshi Town? Why did they end up in Mingyue Town?

"Hehehe! Come quickly! There are three abandoned empty houses here, with no one in them. We can just stay here tonight!" Yang Fan, who was sitting on the mutant dog and didn't notice Chu Hang standing at the door at all, quickly greeted everyone and the mutant dogs.

Chu Hang: “…”

Xia Ruanruan, who clearly saw 'Xiao Hei' standing at the door, said: "???"

At the same time, the mutant dogs smelled the strong smell of blood and became a little agitated: "Awoo~~~" (Although no one was seen, it seemed that there was a smell of blood!)
