Chapter 98 Mutant Fox Family
"Boss, the five mutant beasts are still 1 kilometer away from us. They are coming from the direction of the main gate and seem to be coming together." Chen Feng said.
Hou Ting asked, "A level 22 mutant beast, still coming in a team? Aren't they afraid of a fight over uneven distribution of the spoils?"
Ohhhh~
Yin Shan: "Who's that?! We're going to fight the mutant beasts! And you're still acting cute? Are you asking for a fight?!"
Wang Lu said: "...Did you notice that the sound came from under the city wall..."
Hou Ting: "Oh my god! Mutant foxes! A whole family of mutant foxes! Shanshan, look! Two big ones and three little ones!"
Ohhhh~
One of the foxes still made a sound from its mouth, as if it was acting coquettishly.
Yin Shan's mouth twitched. What were these five big beasts doing here? She called Hui Hui over and asked, "What are they talking about down there?"
Squeak, squeak, squeak! Huihui tried to communicate with the five mutant beasts. For a moment, the gate of the base was filled with various cries:
Ying~
Squeak!
Woof woof!
Roar~
Meow~
Everyone: @_@
Yin Shan saw that these big beasts didn't seem to have any intention of attacking, and she also caught a glimpse of Huihui's expression which showed joy.
And my silly cat and dog look like they are about to cry...
Yin Shan became impatient. This was quite serious, so why was an animal conference being held here?
"It seems that these five foxes are here to seek refuge and seem to want to join us." A female voice sounded, and Yin Shan turned around in surprise.
It was a short-haired female soldier who spoke up. She continued to explain, "My name is Li Qing, codenamed Baiwan. I have both plant and psychic abilities. My psychic ability is beast whisperer. I can understand mutant beasts and control some lower-level mutant beasts."
After a while, after Huihui finished communicating with the five mutant foxes, the message he conveyed to Yin Shan was that these five mutant foxes wanted to find a home.
The two big foxes were originally raised by a family, but when the extreme cold came, their owner did not survive.
Afterwards, they wandered around and gave birth to three little fox cubs. Perhaps because they had been raised by humans, they could sense the malice of some humans, and this, coupled with their original nature, made their mutation progress faster, which is why they stayed close to the base.
Because they sensed the presence of other mutant beasts, and there was a presence of superpowers around these mutant beasts, they thought Yin Shan and the others were good people, and that's why they acted cute at the gate of the base.
The corners of Yin Shan's mouth twitched slightly. Did these foxes really survive in the apocalypse? This is... too naive!
And foxes... uh... they smell pretty bad... I don't want to take them in, what should I do...
However, Yin Shan can still afford to give them a full meal.
Taking out some canned staple foods, Yin Shan opened the door and invited Baiwan to join her.
The two men opened the cans of staple food and placed them in front of the five foxes.
Seeing them eating so happily, Yin Shan said, "I know you understand, but I can't take you in. There are vast tracts of primeval forest here, enough for you to survive. Staying away from humans is your best option."
When the foxes heard that Yin Shan was unwilling to take them in, they immediately stopped eating and started a new round of cute and fawning behavior.
Li Qing's mouth twitched slightly as he said, "That female vixen said they love cleanliness and can block out their own body odor. She begged you to take them in. And they promise not to cause you any trouble."
Yin Shan said: "But taking them in is quite troublesome..."
The three little foxes saw that Yin Shan was the one who made the decision, so they rushed over and hugged Yin Shan's thighs without saying a word, starting a new round of acting coquettishly and cutely.
Yin Shan was surprised by the actions of the three little ones—not their cuteness, but their speed. Although she felt a little relaxed because the three little ones had no ill will towards her, her long-term vigilance also caused her body to make some subconscious evasive movements.
But she didn't feel it at all just now.
Spreading out his mental power, Yin Shan understood that the abilities of these three little ones were similar to those of Academician Li, which were to make people or animals subconsciously ignore their existence.
If that's the case... then taking him in isn't a bad idea... after all, this skill is incredibly useful...
She would never admit that the three little ones were just too adorable. Her inner thoughts had already changed from: I don’t want to raise them, they’re too troublesome.
It became: Ah, I already have so many, so adding a few more won’t be a problem…
Li Qing said, "Captain Yin, do you want to accept them?"
Yin Shan sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, hurry up and eat. Then come home with me!"
When the five foxes heard Yin Shan's agreement, they immediately picked up their cans and followed Yin Shan back to the base.
When Commander-in-Chief Li saw Yin Shan bringing back the five mutant foxes, he was surprised and asked, "Girl, what are you doing?"
Yin Shan was speechless: "He came up to me and begged for shelter... I can't do anything..."
Hou Ting: I just can’t resist cute things!
Wang Lu: Ah, I want it so much!
Ji Yang: Has Shanshan's personal charm spread to the animal world?
Yin Shan said, "Commander-in-Chief Li, it seems we need to have a detailed discussion!"
Commander-in-Chief Li was puzzled, but still followed Yin Shan to her villa. Except for Wang Lu, who was longing to have her own mutant beast, she went to the five foxes to improve their favor.
The rest of the people dispersed to rest.
Yin Shan said bluntly: "Commander-in-Chief Li, I want to seek help!" Commander-in-Chief Li was puzzled, but still gestured for Yin Shan to continue.
Yin Shan was not polite: "Before in F City, we took in Dahei and Xiaobai for no apparent reason, and now five more mutant beasts have come to us and asked for our shelter.
Commander-in-Chief Li sent us the supplies we desperately need, even promising to send me high-level thermal weapons, and also sent Li Qing, who understands animal language. I'd like to know if you know something we don't."
Commander-in-Chief Li was silent for a moment, then spoke with a chuckle, "Three months before the apocalypse, a large-scale archaeological operation took place in Xinjiang Province. It turned out to be an underground city. Even now, we don't know what period it dates from. But thanks to effective protective measures, the entire underground city's artifacts have been preserved intact, including those exquisite murals. Because the murals reveal something so shocking, we haven't given up on researching them even after the apocalypse.
We also gradually deciphered the text in the painting, until half a year ago, when we were finally able to read it.
You may think that our military base does not do any real work, but after I explain it, you should understand.
The first painting depicts a rainstorm, the second a world of ice and snow, the third a heat wave, the fourth a catastrophic collapse, and the fifth an eternal night. These are all things we've experienced and are currently experiencing, but after extensive research, considering the text, the locations, and the characters depicted in the paintings, we ultimately chose you.
