After dinner, Yunfan returned to the Yun family home.
Shen Nanxing continued to process the messages being sent back. Jiang Nian'an had nothing to do, so she tidied up the space that hadn't been cleaned for a long time and then went to absorb the crystal core.
Xiao Longzhan then pulled Da Hui to the rooftop, muttering something to himself.
Five hours later, it was completely dark.
The little blood fox returned with three little sparrows.
"Why is this little thing acting so suspiciously?"
Qiao Huaxi was pulling Shen Nanchuan towards the Shen family's gate when she turned her head and saw the little blood fox leading three little sparrows, sneaking forward along the wall.
"have no idea."
Shen Nanchuan followed her gaze and shook his head. "It must be that my sister-in-law and the others assigned it some kind of task!"
He felt quite emotional whenever he saw the little blood foxes.
Before their younger brother and sister-in-law returned, they were in a situation of almost complete opposition to the mutated creatures.
But this situation was disrupted after they returned.
Not only did they become friends with many mutated creatures, but they even got them to do things for them.
For example, the peony bush growing near the back gate of the Shen family's house, the swarm of rats hiding under the container area, and the various mutated creatures that guard the checkpoint and pretend to fight with them every day...
"Forget it, let's ignore it. We rarely have some time alone together, let's go on a date!"
Qiao Huaxi withdrew her gaze, took Shen Nanchuan's arm, and continued walking out. "Shall we go for a stroll around the base? The market should still be quite lively at this time."
"I'll listen to you." Shen Nanchuan turned his head to look at her and smiled gently.
Now, only the base in Beijing has recovered one percent of its pre-apocalyptic liveliness, allowing people to stroll around and relax their tense nerves.
'Da da!'
The little blood fox led three little sparrows all the way to Xiao Longzhan's house and gently patted the door with its little paws.
Xiao Longzhan had been waiting for them, so he immediately opened the door to let them in.
"Is this the guide bird your Uncle Fox found for me?"
Xiao Longzhan looked at the three little sparrows, which were only slightly larger than his hand, and his expression was indescribable.
These three little creatures, can they really take him over mountains and through cities to find that psychic mutant?
'Waaah—'
The little blood fox nodded eagerly; though small, it was an excellent guide.
'Chirp chirp chirp!'
The little sparrows sensed Xiao Longzhan's distrust of them and hopped around in dissatisfaction.
"Don't shout, don't shout, I believe you!"
Xiao Longzhan tucked the three little sparrows into his arms, his little ears perked up, listening carefully to the sounds outside.
It was quiet outside the door.
He breathed a sigh of relief, released the little sparrow, took out a small plate, and casually sprinkled a handful of corn kernels into it.
"Eat up, then go and rest. You'll have the energy to lead the way when you're well-rested!"
Xiao Longzhan fed the little blood fox another mouthful of dragon energy, added some meat and water, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
On the other side, Xiao Zi, accompanied by vines and monkeys, swaggered up the cliff outside the back door of the Shen family.
"Um?"
Upon hearing the commotion, Lu Changqing immediately led his men to investigate.
"Little Purple, you've... sent us helpers again?"
In the pitch-black night, Lu Changqing did not notice the monkey still hanging on the edge of the cliff, not yet pulled up.
Xiao Zi nodded and then shook her head, first letting the vines drag the monkey up.
It pointed with its tail at the monkey that was completely wrapped in vines, and then at the Shen family.
"A monkey? A monkey that you would go to such lengths to bring back discreetly must be problematic!"
Lu Changqing took out a flashlight from his pocket and shone it on the ape.
"Aside from being a bit bigger and having longer hair, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him."
Lu Changqing then pried open the ape's eyes to take a look.
"The eye color is normal, so it shouldn't be a mutated monster..."
"His strength is also mediocre, and there's nothing about him that's noteworthy."
"Could it be an internal problem? Is there something wrong with the crystal core?"
"Or... do you think it's too ugly?"
"Or are you after its fur? Want to get yourself a warm set of clothes before winter comes?"
Lu Changqing was making his own guesses.
Xiao Zi: "......"
"Little Purple, what's wrong with it?"
Xiao Zi: "......"
If it could talk, would it be pointing and gesturing at him here?
Indeed, not all humans are as intelligent as their master!
Xiao Zi didn't want to talk to Lu Changqing anymore, and angrily directed the vines to drag the monkey inside.
Once we hand the monkey over to its owner, it'll probably go and eat the old tree again!
"Huh? This little guy..."
Lu Changqing looked at Xiao Zi, who suddenly turned and left, his eyes flashing with helplessness and confusion. "Why did you get angry so easily?"
After saying that, he stroked his chin and waved to the boy who was resting against the gate not far away.
"Xiao Qi, come here!"
The boy frowned, got up and walked over to him.
"You stay with Xiao Zi. Once the Second Young Master and Second Young Mistress decide where to allocate those vines, you must try to get them through our back door."
Lu Changqing chuckled, "With them guarding this area as a warning, even a mosquito won't escape our eyes—"
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and go!"
"oh!"
Shen Qi slowly chased after Xiao Zi.
"You brat, hurry up!"
Lu Changqing was afraid that Fang Shisan would try to take the vine from him, so he kicked Chen Qi.
Shen Qi dodged in a flash, turned around and made a face at him.
"You're so fierce even when you ask for help! No wonder you can't get a girlfriend!"
"You brat, what did you say?!"
Lu Changqing blushed and made a move to beat him up.
"Tsk tsk, so easily angered! Can't afford to mess with them, gotta run!"
After saying that, Shen Qi sped up and ran away, disappearing in an instant.
"That brat!"
Lu Changqing chuckled and cursed, then put away his flashlight and returned to his original spot to continue guarding.
"It's getting colder and colder today!"
He rubbed his hands together, looked up at the sky, which was overcast and the wind was getting stronger.
It might snow...
Shen Zheng walked over from behind and handed Lu Changqing a black down jacket.
Thanks!
Lu Changqing took the clothes, held them in his hand without putting them on, and just shook them. "Does everyone have some?"
"certainly!"
Shen Zheng patted his down jacket and said, "Bring the others over right away."
Only after hearing this did Lu Changqing put his clothes on.
The two leaned quietly against the door, looking at the dark night without saying another word.
