Jiang Nian'an chased the old hen for a while.
Once the body, which had been stiff from sitting in the car for so long, had fully warmed up, it was tied back with vines.
"Owner--"
'Crack'
The little dragon's voice and the sound of the old hen's neck being snapped rang out at the same time.
Little Green Dragon: (????)
"What's wrong? Want some chicken?"
Jiang Nian'an, carrying the dead chicken, asked Xiao Qinglong.
Little Azure Dragon paused for a moment before speaking.
"No, what I meant was that the chicken in your hand is still a normal chicken, and you can keep it in your space."
"A normal chicken? That can't be..."
Jiang Nian'an was taken aback, and a green blade materialized in her hand.
With a swift movement, she cleaved the hen's head in two.
She reached into the hen's head and felt around; there was indeed no crystal core.
This shouldn't be happening.
Although animals, like humans, only partially mutated and some remained normal at the beginning of the apocalypse.
However, their situation is not entirely the same as that of humans.
Humans can think.
When supplies are still plentiful, people will not actively touch things that have been soaked by black rain.
Animals, however, do not; they instinctively search for anything edible.
Take, for example, the old hen in her hand.
When left unattended, it will instinctively drink contaminated water and eat contaminated plants and insects.
There are only two possible outcomes.
One, died.
Second, a crystalline nucleus grew in the brain, and it mutated.
Jiang Nian'an picked up the old hen again and examined it carefully.
This chicken is so fat, it doesn't look like it's ever been hungry.
And if she hadn't shouted quickly, it would have gone to eat the corpse of that mutated locust.
From this perspective, it doesn't seem like a smart chicken that can distinguish between what is edible and what is not.
So how exactly does this chicken manage to neither mutate nor die?
Is someone still keeping it? And feeding it normal food?
Jiang Nian'an had an idea, but she needed to confirm with Xiao Qinglong whether it could be implemented.
"Little Azure Dragon, can creatures be raised in this space?"
"Any normal living organism will do."
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Jiang Nian'an had a clear idea of what to do.
Her gaze swept around.
Apart from the highway, all that's left are the farmlands, ravaged by mutated locusts.
Thinking of the direction the old hen had instinctively run away in, she lifted her foot and walked forward.
If someone really is raising this chicken, then they definitely wouldn't only have this one chicken.
There might be others.
Shen Nanxing had been keeping a close eye on Jiang Nian'an's movements.
Seeing that she was about to walk away again, he couldn't help but frown.
"You two keep digging, I'm going to check on An'an."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and strode towards Jiang Nian'an.
Just as I reached her side, the sounds of barking dogs and roaring cars suddenly came from afar.
Shen Nanxing took half a step forward, shielding her behind him, and then looked ahead with his sharp eyes.
Jiang Nian'an stared blankly at the tall figure protecting her.
After a long pause, she smiled, pursing her lips.
Brother Shen is such a wonderful older brother!
She tossed the old hen into the spatial dimension, peeked out from behind Shen Nanxing, and stared ahead.
In just a short while, two speeding cars came into their view.
Following behind the car were nearly thirty mutated dogs, all of which were a size larger than before the apocalypse.
His eyes were fierce and savage, and saliva dripped from his mouth.
"Yunfan, put all the crystal cores in the car and drive over!"
After Yunhua dug out the crystal core from the brain of the last mutated locust and handed it to Yunfan, she quickly rushed to Shen Nanxing and the other person's side.
His hand was already gripping the machete tightly.
When the people in the car saw Shen Nanxing and his two companions in the field, they immediately rushed towards them.
"Help!"
The people in the car were shouting these words, but the malice in their eyes was obvious.
"These bastards, they're trying to use us as bait—"
Seeing the vicious dog whose attention had also been drawn to them, Yunhua cursed.
Whether those dogs live or die, the people in the car are doomed!
Shen Nanxing's eyes were dark and deep, and lightning energy gathered in his hand.
They wanted to drag them down with them...
Ha—then he'll send them on their way first!
When the car was still fifty meters away from them, Shen Nanxing had already formed two lightning balls the size of footballs in his hands.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the lightning ball suddenly flew out of his hand, striking the two cars like a shooting star chasing the moon.
'boom'
The lightning ball exploded, unleashing a blinding burst of electricity, and the people inside the car let out shrill screams.
"An'an, close your eyes!"
Shen Nanxing instinctively reached out and covered Jiang Nian'an's eyes.
Feeling the warmth emanating from his palm, Jiang Nian'an couldn't help but blink her bright, watery eyes.
Then he put the sunglasses he had just taken out of his spatial storage into Shen Nanxing's other hand.
"Brother Chen, put it on quickly!"
Shen Nanxing was taken aback, then smiled silently.
He put on his sunglasses with one hand, and a tenderness that Jiang Nian'an couldn't see flashed in his eyes behind the sunglasses.
'boom--'
Just then, the two vehicles exploded with a sound even louder than when a lightning bolt exploded, and flames shot into the sky.
The residual electrical energy shockwave exploded, eventually forming a scorching heat wave that spread outwards.
The mutated dog at the very front was burned to ashes.
The mutated dogs behind them were dumbfounded. After they realized what was happening, they scrambled away.
