At that moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from the northwest of the no-man's-land, and buildings collapsed with a loud rumble.

Amidst swirling yellow sand, a black car sped past like lightning on the dilapidated road.

There were nine people, and two more were on the roof of the vehicle.

Numbers 15 and 16 couldn't fit in the two long-tailed cars.

The two of them spat out a mouthful of yellow sand, exchanged a knowing glance, and both suspected that Xia Shizhao was retaliating against them.

The poison has been neutralized, their tails have been cut off, and the kitten's fur has grown back. Are you still angry?

Xia Shizhao, who was driving, sneezed.

Who insulted her?

Once they reached the vicinity of their destination, Number 15 said, "Don't go any further. First, control those poisonous scorpions and get them out of here."

Xia Shizhao looked at the girl in the back seat, "Xiao Qi, thank you for your trouble."

Xiao Qi nodded, opened the door, and got out of the car.

A minute later, the swarm of scorpions, dark and faintly glowing purple under the sun, left in an orderly fashion before Xia Shizhao's eyes.

After the scorpion swarm went berserk and began committing suicide, Xiao Qi's forehead broke out in a fine sweat, and her face began to turn slightly pale.

After a while, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xia Shizhao said something to her as she came up, and Xiao Qi shook her head shyly.

The car started and continued moving forward.

When they arrived at the laboratory in the southeast, the area had been bombed flat, and there were many skeletons on the ground that had been gnawed clean.

Xia Shizhao got out of the car and walked to the vicinity of the skeletons to examine them carefully. He quickly finished looking at all thirty skeletons.

Finding two skeletons tightly embracing each other, Xia Shizhao, standing on the ruins, was blinded by sand blown up by a sudden gust of wind. Xia Shizhao squatted down and picked up the identical bracelets that belonged to the two of them.

Let me help you one last time.

Having found their car, Xia Shizhao looked at the merman and asked, "What's your name?"

"Yu Shu".

Xia Shizhao suddenly remembered the name her mother called "Ayu" when she first met her.

His lips twitched slightly.

Oh no, I've really found my blood mother.

The ages don't match up. I'll have to think of a way to explain it on the way back.

"Then you can drive one car with two people."

"OK."

Yu Shu nodded without a word of complaint.

Xia Shizhao hesitated for a moment, "Can you drink a potion to replenish your strength?"

"Yes, you can."

"then."

After dropping two bottles of medicine, Xia Shizhao pointed to the two large tails on the roof of the car, "These two are from your car."

"OK."

Xia Shizhao found their car, opened the door and found the car keys inside.

We were careless after all.

Looking at the message on his phone, Xia Shizhao opened the existing lock, silently putting his hand in his pocket, preparing to take it back and open it.

Let's check again to see if there are any messages between them and the client.

The little white tiger woke up from its nap inside Xia Shizhao's backpack, groggily crawled out of the bag, and stared blankly around, searching for Xia Shizhao.

Xia Shizhao packed his things and sat back down. He picked up the little white tiger and put it in the passenger seat. He opened his personal terminal and looked at Ye Qiuling's contact information. He rested his chin on his hand and looked at it for a while before putting it back.

Let's think of another way.

It's hard to hold back.

Xia Shizhao can use a private airship, but that would mean he would have to be searched by interstellar inspectors.

How is she supposed to explain those eight things that clearly don't look human?

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Xia Shizhao decided to contact Ye Qiuling after all.

She sent a message and then ignored it. Xia Shizhao then drove off. She had marked the way she came, so she wouldn't get lost.

The little white tiger sat to one side, looking anxious.

But it has no way to get through the desert.

For five consecutive days, Xia Shizhao received no news from Ye Qiuling.

As soon as Xia Shizhao opened the car door, the usually well-behaved little white tiger jumped out of the car and disappeared.

After giving the instructions immediately, he told them to wait in the car for a while, and then he went to find the little white tiger as soon as he got out of the car.

Xia Shizhao looked anxious and first approached an old man selling malt candy, asking, "Boss, have you seen a black and white cat?"

"No, do you want maltose? It's sixty yuan a pound, all-natural and additive-free, handmade."

"No."

Xia Shizhao waved his hand and was about to leave when he heard a shout: "Damn it! My brand new clothes were stolen before I even wore them!"

A tall, burly man stormed out, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Which thief stole my clothes! Don't you have any clothes to wear?! I'll make you starve!"

Xia Shizhao's personal terminal beeped, "You can borrow it, when do you need it?"

Xia Shizhao glanced at the message but didn't have time to reply. She was so anxious. Where was the little white tiger?

Where did it disappear to in an instant?

Ye Qiuling sent another message, "Are you there? I have something to do, can you hurry up?"

Seeing that the person was in a hurry, Xia Shizhao could only search and return at the same time, multitasking, "The sooner the better, I need it in the next two days."

"Okay, I'll arrive at 3 PM tomorrow. Fu Ziran will send you a message then."

"OK."

Not long after they finished chatting, Xia Shizhao anxiously asked the surrounding residents, and even posted an exorbitant reward, as a group of people were looking for a cat that looked like a tiger.

Xia Shizhao walked into the alley when a tile suddenly made a sound. She looked up and saw the little white tiger appear on the roof, wagging its tail ingratiatingly.

Her eyes blazed with anger. She jumped onto the roof, grabbed the little white tiger, and slapped it twice on its furry bottom. "What are you doing running around like that! You're so fat, you'll get caught and killed!"

The little white tiger, still petrified from being spanked, was further provoked by Xia Shizhao's comment that he was "fat".

His dark eyes stared straight at Xia Shizhao, his eyes full of accusation.

You actually called me fat?!

The next sentence was an even bigger bombshell.

"Why do you like to run around so much? I'll go back and leave you with your owner. I don't want you anymore."

Xia Shizhao was so anxious when he couldn't find the little white tiger that he almost cried.

The little white tiger clung to Xia Shizhao's arm with all four paws, as if it wouldn't leave.

Xia Shizhao was still angry. He picked up the little white tiger and walked back in a huff.

I bought each of them a mobile phone and handed it to them so they could stay in touch; their personal computers had already been deactivated.

You can buy it with just a mobile phone, no identity information is required, and you can use it as long as you have an internet connection.

They took in a group of unregistered residents.

Xia Shizhao rubbed his head.

Lying down on the hotel sofa, she was exhausted from the events of the past few days. She closed her eyes listlessly, not even wanting to wash up.

The little white tiger stayed by her side and observed her for a while, then walked up to Xia Shizhao and nudged her face with its paw.

I was sleeping very soundly.

The fluffy face sighed.

The next day, Xia Shizhao dreamed that the hardworking Snail Fairy helped her wipe her face, hands and feet with a towel, and then hugged her and slept in the big bed.

Xia Shizhao opened his eyes groggily and tilted his head.

I found myself in bed.

The brain shut down.

I didn't realize I had a habit of sleepwalking.

As expected, he couldn't stand the hardship and, despite being exhausted, still climbed into bed.

I tilted my head to the left, and the computer screen automatically lit up; it was 11 a.m.

After a good night's sleep, Xia Shizhao scratched his hair and went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, she glanced at the little white tiger curled up on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

After running around in the desert for so many days, let's give it a bath.

Xia Shizhao rolled up his sleeves and got right to work.

She gently stroked the little white tiger's head. "Sweetie, let's take you for a bath."

The little white tiger, who was quietly enjoying itself, suddenly widened its pupils, tucked its wagging tail behind its rear, and turned to run away.

But how can a kitten escape from a human's grasp?

Xia Shizhao grabbed it and headed to the bathroom. "Don't worry, a shower will be quick."

The little white tiger, fearing it might hurt Xia Shizhao, struggled slightly in her arms in despair.

Then he became a drenched tiger, at Xia Shizhao's mercy.

He looked as if his soul had passed away.

Xia Shizhao was amused by what he saw, and looked at Xiao Hu with sudden realization, exclaiming, "So it's just bloated fat."

The little white tiger glanced at her, its eyes full of grievance, and closed its eyes in despair as it was being rubbed on its bottom.

After being tossed and turned by Xia Shizhao for a long time, like a machine toy, the little tiger, smelling sweet and fluffy, finally lay down on the bed. Xia Shizhao buried his head in the little tiger's belly, "Ah, baby, you smell so good."

The dejected little white tiger: ...One second it's a fat cat, the next it's a baby, so fickle.
