In Zhao Xiaoxiu's view, Peter Pan's fighting ability is just that he has the ability to control magnetic fields, can use some clever tricks, and has some ability to protect himself.

In reality, it is slow to react, and if it is attacked by other mutants while sleeping, it will only face death.

Unfortunately, this fish had been in the pond for too long and lacked a sense of danger, and it also loved to sleep.

So on the first night the protective netting was put up, when she heard the message "Help!" from Peter Pan in her mind, Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was jolted awake from her sleep, felt a sense of "I knew it" and a feeling of helplessness.

A group of mutated piranhas, about the size of normal floating fish, rushed into the swamp and devoured all the small herbivorous fish and shrimp in the swamp before discovering that there was a giant floating fish at the bottom of the pond.

When Peter Pan's small fish eyes met dozens of fish eyes, he jumped up instantly, his fish tail narrowly slicing past the piranhas' mouths filled with sharp teeth.

Once airborne, Peter Pan breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little smug: "I can fly, you can't catch me, hehe!"

The moment of triumph lasted less than two seconds. From the dark grass on the shore, an unidentified species with fleshy wings darted out and bit its silver tail.

That's when the cries for help came.

In the darkness, a flash of light appeared, and a gunshot rang out. The unknown creature on the fish's tail was hit, let out a strange cry of pain, and fell off the tail.

Peter Pan turned around in surprise and saw two figures, one big and one small, appearing on the wet grass. The smaller one held a gun in both hands, his eyes calm, and fired another shot at the unknown creature that had fallen down.

Both shots hit, but surprisingly, even after the guy crashed heavily into the swamp, he was still able to get up again.

Before it could pounce on Zhao Xiaoxiu, a group of piranhas swarmed up and quickly dragged it into the water to devour it, making a series of "crunching" sounds that sent chills down Zhao Xiaoxiu's spine.

"Peter Pan, come here!" Zhao Xiaoxiu shouted to Peter Pan, who was staring in a daze at the piranhas eating in the air.

The gunshots woke up the Meng family mother and son, as well as the little girl huddled in the empty house.

The little boy stayed at home, too afraid to come out, only staring longingly at the outside world, perfectly embodying the word "sneaky" through his actions.

Meng Da and Meng Er left their mother at home, and the two brothers quickly put on raincoats, grabbed their weapons, and ran towards the swamp.

Then they saw Zhao Gang and his daughter standing by the swamp, without raincoats, rain hats, or even umbrellas. A silvery raindrop hung above their heads, and the two of them and a fish were looking into the water.

Meng Da was stunned for a moment. No one dared to get caught in the rain carrying the virus unless they wanted to turn into an Otherworldly being who only knew how to bite humans.

Meng Er didn't think of all that at first, assuming the father and daughter had forgotten about the emergency, and called out, "Brother Gangzi, what happened?!"

He quickly opened the umbrella he had brought with him and handed it to the father and daughter.

"Thank you," Zhao Gang said politely, holding the umbrella over his and his daughter's heads. Pointing to the piranhas in the water, still eager to jump ashore, he said:

"A bunch of troublesome guys have arrived, but they can't come ashore. Be careful to stay away from the shore."

Remembering the creature that had just flown up, Zhao Gang instructed the two brothers, "A mutated species has entered the territory. It probably came from the river. After daybreak, we'll check the entire territory together and eliminate any mutated species we find immediately."

Meng Da glanced at his watch; it was 4:30 a.m., and he knew he couldn't go back to sleep.

The two brothers watched the group of piranhas from the shore for a while, and after confirming that they couldn't come ashore, they returned to the hall with Zhao Gang and his daughter to wait for dawn.

Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't sleep either, so she went home to wash her face and brush her teeth, and then did her morning exercise in the empty room outside Monkey Sister's room.

Piranhas have taken over the pond, and Peter Pan is both angry and helpless because even if he gets rid of this batch of piranhas, another batch will come in along the river.

Its pond will not be safe again until the rain stops and the river recedes.

With no other option, Peter Pan could only lie on the roof of Zhao Xiaoxiu's house and get soaked in the rain.

It does have a way of entertaining itself, going out for a stroll as soon as it gets light.

After the Meng brothers finished their nutrient solution, they picked up their weapons and went out with Zhao Gang to patrol the territory.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Hou stayed at home; there was probably no safer place in the entire B area than their home.

This morning, I heard gunshots coming from several directions. Since the other territories don't have the Green Fairy's walls, there must be even more mutated animals that have broken in.

After finishing her morning exercise, Zhao Xiaoxiu took out her walkie-talkie to greet her teacher, Sheng Qingyang. Only after learning that she was alright did she put down the walkie-talkie with relief, spread out her workbook, and practice calligraphy to pass the time.

As soon as it got light, the rain subsided. Zhao Gang and his two companions checked every part of the territory and found that quite a few mutated creatures had indeed broken in through the gap in the river.

However, most of them were dealt with by the Green Fairy and became nutrients, leaving only a skeleton with bits of flesh stuck to it.

A small number of mutant species, due to their strong ability to hide and their small size, managed to slip through the net.

However, Zhao Gang's sharp eyes quickly spotted them and resolved the issue.

The three returned after a morning of patrolling, and Meng Er excitedly brought back three mutated frogs the size of footballs.

The frog's skin is orange-yellow, which makes it look very poisonous.

Meng Dayong roughly examined it with a detection gun and determined it to be a Class B mutation.

But Zhao Gang confidently asserted, "It's edible, it's delicious, Xiaoxiu will definitely love it."

Meng Er excitedly brought it back, never doubting what his brother Gangzi had said.

Zhao Gang took out a knife, peeled off the frog's skin, removed the venom sac, chopped off the frog's head, leaving only the frog's body and legs.

Cut the prepared frog meat into small pieces, heat oil in a wok, add the freshly picked ginger and scallions from Zhao Xiaoxiu, sauté until fragrant, then add the frog meat and stir-fry over high heat.

Soon, the aroma filled the air, and Meng Da, who had been questioning whether the B-grade mutant frog was edible, began to salivate profusely.

Before long, a pot of spicy stir-fried frog meat was served. Zhao Gang handed chopsticks to his cub and said in a gentle voice, "Try it."

"Mmm!" Zhao Xiaoxiu picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of the tenderest-looking frog leg meat, and put it in her mouth under the expectant gaze of the Meng brothers.

The frog meat is tender and odorless. The aroma of scallions and ginger blends in the oil, creating a fresh, savory, salty, and spicy flavor that explodes on the palate. In short, it's amazing!

Meng Er swallowed hard and asked softly, "Xiao Xiu, is it delicious?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu paused for a moment, then nodded frantically, completely forgetting to speak, and picked up her chopsticks to eat one piece after another.

The Meng brothers exchanged a glance, then tacitly picked up their chopsticks and took the frog meat that Zhao Gang had divided into their bowls. They cautiously tasted a little bit first, then a little bit more, and before they could stop, they couldn't stop.

While she was eating, Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly heard Peter Pan's voice.

"Ahhh! Someone's trying to catch me! Run! Run!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu stopped eating, and then she heard Little Flying Hero shout in her mind again:

"They've come to our area! There are so many of them!"
