Chapter 5

The scale viper felt sorry for itself for a long time because it had to live under someone else's fence, and suddenly noticed that Black Ball's face turned extremely ugly.

It frowned and looked a little scared.

In the face of absolute level suppression, no matter how many mutants there are, they will only become subordinates to be used.

If it were the Black Group, it would be very happy to see other mutants come and join it.

Soon, the base will become even more chaotic, and humans will be unable to take care of themselves. By then, they can take advantage of the situation to establish a mutant kingdom and dominate the world!

But the black group is different.

It should be said that the other party is different from all mutants.

When they were at the base, the Black Group had so many opportunities to devour other species, complete their evolution ahead of time, break free from the constraints of humans, or even counterattack and destroy them.

But the black ball has never been eaten.

So the Scaled Viper would be happy to hear about the idea of ​​having a younger brother, but the other party would most likely refuse.

The black leader remained silent for a long time, his eyes were misty and his thoughts were difficult to discern.

The scale viper has managed to survive under its claws until now, so it still has some ability to read people's expressions. It intuitively senses that the other party is in a very bad mood, so it immediately becomes quiet, fearing that it will become a punching bag.

After a while, it heard the black ball muttering hoarsely: "I have to leave here. I can't let him get involved..."

Scale viper: “?”

Who is this?

.

In the evening, Wen Xin returned home carrying a large box of instant food and found Hei Tuanzi squatting in the community garden waiting for him.

The latter's long tail was swinging back and forth, and its boredom and listlessness were visibly visible to the naked eye.

Wen Xin was puzzled, so he squatted down and asked it: "What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"

The black ball looked up at the concerned young man, and the words of farewell were stuck on his tongue.

It suddenly became even more annoyed and slapped away the gravel beside it with its paw.

Wen Xin didn't understand what he meant, but he could see that Heituanzi was in a very low mood. In order to comfort him, he said softly, "Don't be sad anymore. Can I make you a steak later?"

He held the box in his arms, unable to free them, so he tilted his head to rub the other's fluffy head, and said in a clear and smiling voice: "Good boy, little blackie."

The black ball was so shocked by the cry that he stepped back in embarrassment.

Wen Xin felt quite happy as if he had teased a big ice cube. He chuckled and stood up holding the box.

After walking a few steps, he saw that Hei Tuanzi had not caught up with him, so he turned his head and called out, "Let's go, Xiao Hei, it's time for us to go home."

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the earth, and cast a layer of scattered soft light on the young man's body, making his smiling face even more moving.

After being called by Wen Xin several times, Xiao Hei, who was frozen in place, clenched his teeth, and finally slowly opened his legs and followed the others upstairs.

It repeatedly emphasized in its mind that everything was for the steak, and it would leave after it finished eating.

After the group left, the scale viper poked its head out from the shadows not far away, and recalled what it had just seen, almost laughing to its death.

It turns out that "he" refers to a human being.

Who could have imagined that such a powerful top mutant would actually bow down to weak and despicable humans.

The pride of mutants cannot be trampled upon. If it were them, even if they were tortured, they would never surrender to humans!

The scale viper suddenly felt that it had won the game against the black ball, and couldn't help but twist its body in excitement.

It turned its head and hid in the shadow of the trees, ready to laugh at the black ball when it came out.

When he got home, Wen Xin immediately moved the convenience foods into the utility room to free up his sore arms.

Then he took out his mobile phone and opened the chat interface with his "brother".

Brother: Have you grown too independent?

The interface still remains at this impolite question.

Wen Xin did not respond, and the other party stopped sending messages, as if they were not brothers from the same father and mother, but a pair of strangers who had nothing to do with each other.

He moved his finger and scrolled up the page. The last message displayed was half a year ago.

The counselor thought Wen Xin had suffered some trauma in her family, but in fact, she had not. It was just that Wen Xin had a very vague concept of family and didn't know what to talk about.

He still remembered that his mother died of dystocia when giving birth to him, and a few years later his father fell ill due to excessive worry.

At that time, he was still a child who would fall down when walking. The huge family business fell on his elder brother Wen Jinfeng alone. He was always busy and was rarely seen. After the college entrance examination, he even stopped returning home.

Later, Wen Xin felt that the house was too big and too empty, so he moved out.

The relationship between the two brothers continued to be dull. They saw each other less than twice a year, let alone chatting about family matters.

Wen Xin thought about the past, his finger hovering over the screen.

Wen Jinfeng was usually too lazy to talk to him, but he suddenly sent him a message asking him to stock up on food. Something must have happened.

So he went to buy a large box of instant food after get off work, and will continue to buy it tomorrow.

He just didn't touch the card that Wen Jinfeng gave him when he left home in high school, and he spent the money he earned himself.

Seeing that Wen Xin didn't move, Heituanzi couldn't help but walk over and look at him in confusion.

Wen Xin came back to his senses, smiled at it, turned around and took out the steak from the refrigerator to thaw it.

The kitchen was somewhat quiet, the faucet was turned on, and the sound of running water was heard.

Wen Xin lowered her head to cook and suddenly said, "Xiao Hei, you know, if you live alone in a big house, you will be afraid to go home."

The black ball raised his head and looked back warmly.

He saw that the cat's pupils were as clear as amber, and his entire figure was included in them.

It's like a lonely person has a place to stay.

Wen Xin stopped, wiped his hands, squatted down and touched its head: "Thank you for coming."

As he spoke, he leaned forward, touching his forehead to the black ball, and pleaded with her without even realizing it: "... Don't leave from now on, okay?"

Hearing this, Heituanzi paused, his eyes full of struggle.

It moved its mouth and closed it again, repeating this several times. Finally, it raised its long tail high, placed it on the back of the young man's slightly trembling hand, and meowed earnestly.

——Okay, I won’t leave.

Dinner was ready soon. Wen Xin’s cooking was impeccable and Hei Tuanzi ate it voraciously the whole time.

After enjoying the dinner comfortably, Heituanzi slowly stretched out his paws to wash his face. Then, he jumped off the table and patted the door with his long tail, asking Wen Xin to let him out.

Wen Xin glanced at the time on the wall: "Why are you going out so late?"

Xiao Hei nodded.

Wen Xin rubbed Heituozi's head unceremoniously, but still opened the door for him: "Come back soon."

Xiao Hei nodded again, made the sign of the cross on the floor, meaning he would be back in ten minutes, and then rushed out in a hurry.

When we arrived at the garden downstairs, the scale viper was still waiting in the bushes.

The latter was bored and dragged his greasy body, twisting himself into an S shape and then into a B shape.

Seeing Heituanzi running downstairs, its eyes lit up immediately: "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the black ball say in a serious tone: "Bite me."

Scale viper: “?”

It thought it had heard wrongly, and its pupils widened.

The black ball repeated impatiently: "Bite me and inject more venom."

Scale Viper: “???”

Yes, it can control the amount of venom injected, but it has never heard of such an outrageous request!

Under the watchful eyes of the black ball, even if the scale viper felt that the other party had become stupid after being hit on the head, it had to do as it asked.

After the scale viper had injected the venom, the black ball became visibly weaker.

The aura of the special creature, which was originally so strong that mutants flocked to it, also became much weaker.

The scale viper noticed the changes in its body and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

If any other mutant had been injected with such a large dose of its venom, they would have died long ago, but the black ball was merely weak.

Black Dumpling tried hard to digest the pain brought by the poison. Finally, he narrowed his eyes and warned the Scale Viper: "You can stay here, but don't cause any trouble or make any noise, otherwise this will be your grave."

"I will come to see you every night from now on, remember."

After saying that, Heituanzi turned around and ran upstairs.

The scale viper was left standing there, unable to come back to its senses for a long time.

It couldn't understand why the person who had made up his mind to leave would change his mind so easily just by going back to have a meal, and even use such a self-abuse method to suppress his anger.

Suddenly, it remembered the young man who was talking and laughing as he carried the black ball home in the sunset.

Because of that human being again?

The scale viper grinned, slightly lowered its head, and uttered an extremely weird laugh: "Ha."

It was as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly erupted, and hurricanes arose around it, tearing apart the flowers and destroying the trees.

Thinking back to the torture he had endured in the base, Scaled Viper was filled with resentment and indignation.

How can mere humans make mutants compromise for them?

Humans are more insidious, cunning, cruel and ruthless than venomous snakes! Why do mutants cling to them?

After standing there for a while with a grim face, the scale viper twisted its body and came downstairs to Wen Xin's house.

It meandered upwards along the water pipe outside the building and then stopped outside the young man's window.

Wen Xin had sealed the window not long ago, so the scale viper couldn't get in, but it didn't care. It just widened its snake pupils and stared through the gaps in the curtains, staring at the figure walking in the house with a stubborn look.
