When Xiao Bai and others returned to the courtyard, they found that only Xiao's father, Xiao's mother and uncle were at home. The others had either gone out to gain experience or packed up and returned to Xiaojia Village.
When Xiao's mother saw Xiao Bai coming back, her first reaction was: "Why did you come back so soon?"
Xiao Bai looked up at the setting sun and replied naturally, "The sun is almost setting. Of course we should go home for dinner, right?"
Mother Xiao looked at Murong An, who was standing next to her with an agreeing face, and sighed helplessly. Then she glared at Xiao Bai fiercely, saying angrily, "Eat, eat, eat! All you do all day is eat! When will you finally get your bearings?"
She was also thinking about Xiaobai and Xiaoan going out to complete the mission together, so that the two of them could have more time alone, and by the way, they could spend the night together outside. After being alone together for a long time, the relationship will always be different. Who knew that these two people would go home for dinner in less than a day!
"ah?"
Xiao Bai didn't understand why, but it didn't matter. What mattered was:
"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight? Oh, where's Dad? I found a parrot today. Ask him if he wants to keep it. If not, put it in a cage first and then bring it back to the village for me!"
"Ask yourself!"
The two of them walked towards the dining room in a lively manner, and Murong An followed closely behind.
The family gathered together and had a happy dinner. Before the dinner was over, Mother Xiao urged the two of them to go out and take on tasks tomorrow.
Xiao Bai & Murong An: ········
Okay.
At this time, in a remote community in Dongcheng District, dozens of families in the community were falling into despair.
"My dear, don't talk or cry, and don't make any sound."
In a cabinet in the corner of the room, the young mother hugged her child tightly in her arms, covered the child's mouth with both hands, and kept whispering instructions in the child's ear in a whisper.
In the corridor outside the room, black figures kept coming and going. Every time a figure passed by their door, the child's mother was so nervous that she dared not breathe.
Those wandering around outside are all polluting species, and the entire community is about to be overrun by polluting species!
This was originally just a relatively remote, newly completed community. So although there were many high-rise buildings, not many people lived here, with only a few dozen households in total. Life here was originally quite stable because it was remote and sparsely populated. Therefore, when polluted species and mutated plants and animals broke out in East City outside, this place was still relatively safe.
But at some point, a family was suddenly infected and became contaminated. Originally, it was not a big problem if only one family became contaminated. As long as we contacted the East City Guard in time to come and clean up, we would be safe.
However, what was unexpected was that when they tried to call for help, they found that they could not make any calls or text messages. Not only that, the surrounding area of the community was shrouded in a layer of light gray fog, and anyone who came into contact with this fog would immediately become a polluted species!
So the people in the entire community were trapped here, and more and more people turned into polluted species. These polluted species wandered around the community all day long and bit any living people they saw. Now there are not many living people in the entire community.
What's worse is that food and water are running out.
The young mother looked at the bottles of mineral water and cans of milk powder in the corner of the cabinet. These were their only remaining food. Every day, both mother and daughter tried to eat and drink less and hide as much as possible. Even when it was necessary to go to the toilet, they dared not make too much noise.
The toilet was used but people didn't even dare flush it, so the whole room was filled with a foul smell. Perhaps it was because of this that the sense of smell of the pollutants outside was obscured.
If no one comes to rescue them, they will really die here! I don’t know if the child’s father, who is outside and has been unable to contact them for a long time, has tried to call for help.
Directly above the residential complex, a black figure floated in mid-air. Looking down at the polluted species roaming everywhere, then at the surrounding black mist, he stroked his chin and said, "This place is quite interesting!"
"It's quite interesting. It's almost forming a natural dark zone. Look at that gray mist. If it condenses a little more, it will probably form a barrier."
Another black figure appeared beside him. These two people were An Zeng and An Tengu.
"I'll go kill the pollutants, and you go check where this mist is coming from."
Dark Tengu was instantly annoyed: "Why should I go and investigate the source of the fog while you kill the pollutants? You must be trying to collect the dark cores yourself and not give me time to compete with you! How cunning! You go and investigate the source of the fog, and I'll kill the pollutants!"
"Why should I listen to your arrangements?"
"Then why should I listen to your arrangements?!"
The two started quarreling again after a disagreement.
"Alright, both of you go kill the pollutants, and I'll go find the source of the fog, alright!"
Suddenly, another voice sounded, and An Fei appeared behind the two people who were arguing with red faces, and left after saying a few words.
"snort!"
"snort!"
The three of them began to act separately.
At this time, at the Dongcheng Qiyi Exchange, a young man was begging at the counter:
"Please, please send someone to check on Tianxin Community! I haven't had any contact with my wife and daughter in days! Now the community is shrouded in a gray fog, and no one who bravely entered has been found. Please send someone to check!"
