Lingyou Fugui sat on the rabbit-fur bed atop the giant rabbit's head, sighing deeply.
He really didn't want to accept the terrible result of the world's core collapsing into countless fragments, but the fact had already happened, and there was nothing he could do even if he didn't want to accept it.
Therefore, the only way to repair the core of the world is to find all the fragments that have collapsed and then gather them together.
However, this also brings about other problems:
1. The world is so big, how can they find all the world cores in a limited time?
Although the world doesn't seem to have any major problems right now, if all animals and plants continue to grow indefinitely, the final result will be that the world will be unable to withstand the power that life demands, and will eventually collapse completely, becoming a dead star.
2. Even if they find all the core fragments of the world within their reach, how do they synthesize the fragments?
Judging from the way the Giant Rabbit Leader devoured the fragments, this should be a suitable method for synthesizing fragments. However, the Giant Rabbit Leader showed signs of going berserk and losing control during the process of devouring fragments to synthesize them. And this is only for two core fragments. If the Giant Rabbit Leader devours more and more world core fragments in the future, and its power becomes stronger and stronger, and its berserk level also becomes higher and higher, can it still appease the Giant Rabbit Leader with just a dance?
These two problems alone have already driven Lingyou Fugui to the brink of despair, but he clearly hasn't come up with any good solutions yet. He can only lie on the head of the giant rabbit leader every day, eating strawberries, cherries, crabs, and lobsters that are bigger than his own body and worrying about it.
These days are truly worrisome...
This worry lasted for almost half a month.
Then, one morning two weeks later, while eating a large strawberry, Lingyou Fugui suddenly felt that something was wrong.
But what exactly is wrong?
In the past two weeks, the giant rabbits' territory has doubled in size in the forest. The giant rabbit cubs, which were originally only the size of mini electric cars, have grown to the size of a hundred-square-meter house. At the same time, fifty-five more giant rabbits have been born in the basic group. Perhaps it won't be long before the giant rabbits take over the entire forest.
This is not a good change, and Gou Fugui is well aware of it.
As the size and number of giant rabbits increase, the amount of food and grass they need to graze on each day also increases dramatically.
The large crabs in the river are rarely seen in this part of the giant rabbit's territory anymore, and the once lush primeval forest has become patches of grassland and fruit trees that have been gnawed by the giant rabbits.
Even though the giant rabbits, led by their leader, were being very careful not to waste food or hunt everything indiscriminately, the food supply in the forest was still visibly decreasing.
Lingyou Fugui was very worried.
But the giant rabbit leader didn't seem worried at all. It simply patted the little weasel on the head with its giant paw when the weasel was at a loss for what to eat, and then pointed to the north of the forest and chirped.
"grumble--!"
Don't panic, there's plenty of food over there! Live food!!
Lingyou Fugui roughly understood what the giant rabbit leader meant, and having no other choice, he could only put his mind at ease for the time being.
But when he squatted on the head of the giant rabbit leader, he still felt that something was wrong.
What on earth is wrong?!
The weasel Fugui couldn't help but roll around on the rabbit fur bed. Then, his front paws touched the giant rabbit leader's left ear, and his hind paws kicked the giant rabbit leader's right ear. He couldn't help but scratch his front paws and kick his hind paws, and was instantly stunned.
"Holy crap?!"
"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!!!"
The weasel Fugui jumped up from the giant rabbit leader's head in an instant, but he immediately lay down again and used his body to measure the distance between the giant rabbit leader's two ears.
He could actually touch the giant rabbit leader's two ears.
He finally understood exactly what was wrong—
He has grown up.
It's not the normal growth process from cub to adult.
Instead, it grows like any other animal or plant in the world, exceeding its growth limits!
You should know that the Giant Rabbit Leader is the largest one in the entire rabbit group. Its overall size is about four meters tall and nearly 280 square meters, making it a large flat-top rabbit!
The head of such a lead rabbit is at least as big as a room, and the distance between the two large ears of the giant rabbit leader is at least 1.5 meters.
When he first transformed into the Weasel Fugui, he was only about half a meter long. This was after he had transformed from a human into a Weasel, which increased his size somewhat.
For the first few days, he was able to sleep comfortably in the middle of his self-knitted rabbit fur bed, but in the last few days, he has been consciously curling up in the middle of the bed, as if he subconsciously feels that he can't stretch out.
Now that he stretched out like this, he realized that his body, which he thought could never grow any longer after transforming into a "cute creature," had grown more than three times its original size in just half a month.
A 1.5-meter-long weasel.
This is a giant ferret that could definitely apply for a Guinness World Record. Perhaps even Guinness wouldn't want to record it, because they might suspect it's fake.
The grown-up weasel, Fugui, was a little confused.
Growing up is certainly a good thing; at least it gives you more self-defense capabilities in this world full of giant animals and plants. After all, weasels are also very ferocious predatory animals.
But what made the weasel-like Fugui a little uneasy was—
Will his growth continue indefinitely? Is there a limit to growth?
He's already a 1.5-meter-tall giant weasel. If he stays in this world as a weasel, will he slowly grow into... a giant flat-topped weasel?!
Also, if he grows up after transforming into a cute creature, what about when he becomes a human? Won't he slowly grow into a giant too?!
The weasel Fugui grabbed the giant rabbit leader's head by the fur, its bright black eyes filled with horror and confusion.
＊ ＊ ＊
At this moment, in the conference room of the Ninth City Security Base, the Ninth City's high-ranking officials, the military, and the base's hunting elites were watching the large screen in the conference room.
"According to our high-altitude drone survey, in the twenty days following the mission launch, the population of giant rabbits in the southwestern forest has expanded to over 200."
"They have become the overlords of that forest. Apart from the giant eagles in the sky that can occasionally catch one or two of them, no other animal can harm them."
"Based on our growth comparison and observation, although there are other giant animals in that forest in the southeast, in the original national park, the growth ratio of those animals is basically normal."
"For example, there are tigers, elephants, and squirrels on the other side of the river; killer crabs, killer frogs, and giant carp in the river; and blood-sucking mosquitoes, ants, and bees in the forest and grass."
"Although these animals and insects have all grown a lot, if we consider the growth rate of all animals becoming gigantic, they have increased in size by about 1 to 10 times. But those rabbits, their size has generally increased by more than 20 times, and the giant rabbit leader is even more than 50 times the size of an ordinary rabbit!"
At this point, the researcher giving the presentation on the screen wore a complex expression of incomprehension yet forced acceptance of the facts: "This is why we must eliminate these giant rabbits."
"Compared to the slow pace of evolution of other animals, the evolution of giant rabbits must be 'abnormal'."
"They are evolving too fast! And rabbits are very prolific animals that are in heat almost all year round. If we don't kill those giant rabbits soon, in just six months, no, maybe three months, their numbers could reach 400 or even more. At that time, both the food resources they consume and the terrible impact they have on the surrounding environment will greatly squeeze our living space."
"Therefore, we must deal with these giant rabbits as quickly as possible."
The researcher made a decision: "This is why we called everyone here ten days in advance. We really can't wait any longer; if we wait any longer, we might face a famine."
The commanders of the three legions of the Ninth City remained silent, but the captains and members of the top ten hunting elite teams began to discuss it.
A female elite captain, wearing a cheetah-skin coat, with extremely short hair and a voluptuous figure, rested her chin on her hand and raised her eyebrows, then spoke:
"We all understand the principles and are willing to contribute to our Ninth City. But anyone with eyes can see that this is a tough battle, even a life-or-death struggle."
Putting everything else aside, just look at that biggest rabbit leader in the video—it's practically a mobile villa. Forget long knives and pistols wouldn't even scratch its defenses; even our team's most powerful weapon, the rocket launcher, would be nothing more than a small rock to it, right?
Long Yuan tapped the table with her excessively sharp fingers: "How are we supposed to fight like this?"
"Captain Long is right! Your military has far more powerful weapons, but we don't. The authorities didn't call us up just to send our troops to their deaths as cannon fodder, did they?"
"Yes, yes, your military soldiers are human, but aren't our hunting team members human too?"
"Don't even mention genetically modified people. Even if they were genetically modified people, they would probably only be able to barely protect themselves in front of that group of ferocious giant rabbits."
After the female captain, Long Yuan, spoke, the other members of the elite team also spoke up one by one, each frankly expressing their thoughts and concerns.
At this moment, the Ninth City Administrator, who was sitting at the front, finally spoke. He was a middle-aged man with a very dignified and imposing presence, but he did not give people an overly harsh feeling.
"Gentlemen, since we have invited you all to join us in wiping out the giant rabbit horde, we have come with the utmost sincerity. Naturally, we will not use you as cannon fodder to stand in our way."
"You are all the backbone of peace and stability in our Ninth City. It is because of your hunting teams that the Ninth City has developed better. If we were to use you as cannon fodder, it would be too foolish of us."
"After analysis by our research team, the final plan for hunting the giant rabbit is as follows—"
We can use powerful hypnotic gas to knock these giant rabbits unconscious for even 10 minutes, which will be enough for us to win quickly.
But because that giant rabbit leader once used a giant log to directly knock away a missile we fired from a distance…
The Ninth City administrator paused here, and the researcher thoughtfully switched the video on the conference room's large screen to a bizarre and terrifying scene of a giant rabbit carrying a tree and deflecting missiles.
"Considering that the giant rabbit leader is very sensitive to danger and will take the initiative to fight back, we need everyone's help."
"We need your help to do everything in our power to delay these giant rabbits, to keep them together, and to prevent them from escaping or fighting back when they discover the hypnotic gas. If we can delay these giant rabbits for just fifteen minutes, we'll have a 70% chance of winning this battle!"
"We only need everyone to delay these giant rabbits, not to fight them to the death. Soldiers from our three legions will also be mobilized at the same time. Do you still doubt our intentions?"
After the manager spoke, the expressions of the ten strongest hunting elites in Ninth City improved considerably. If they didn't have to confront these terrifying, mountain-like rabbits head-on and were just stalling for time, then the mission was still doable.
However, the female elite captain, Long Yuan, disguised as a cheetah, was not easily fooled. She glanced at the managers and military personnel opposite her and chuckled lightly:
"Then I have another question. Are you planning to make us inhale high concentrations of hypnotic gas smoke, just like those giant rabbits?"
"Won't the high-concentration smoke that can hypnotize all the giant rabbits within fifteen minutes kill us?"
These words caused all the elite hunters present to change color, but the leading manager showed no sign of embarrassment. She merely gave the powerful woman an appreciative look, her expression remaining kind.
"Captain Long has thought this through very well. Of course we've considered that too, and we'll equip everyone with professional gas masks. However, gas masks will more or less affect combat effectiveness, so everyone needs to be extra careful when engaging in combat."
This is why the commander didn't say it directly. After all, fighting those giant rabbits is already quite dangerous, and wearing gas masks that would impair vision and reaction time would further limit everyone's abilities. And...
"Those gas masks were made according to human facial proportions, right?! What about those with genetic mutations?!"
Soon someone realized this.
The manager was unable to give a direct answer to this question.
His silence said it all.
"Ha! Manager, that's not very fair of you! Not only have you sealed off the abilities of us genetically modified individuals, which is our greatest advantage, but you've also slowed down our reaction speed by making us wear gas masks."
This isn't the simple delaying tactic you described! It's practically as dangerous as us risking our lives to fight these giant rabbits!
After a long silence, the manager finally spoke: "But isn't this something we absolutely have to do?"
“While you are all strong, it is not the same as the strength of your friends and family. Your home is in the Ninth City, and the source of your bonds and power is here. Given this, can you really stand by and watch the Ninth City’s living environment be eroded and compressed, and ultimately even destroyed?”
The once noisy conference hall gradually fell silent after the manager's question.
Silence is the best answer.
They certainly couldn't stand by and watch their home be destroyed.
That's why they're here.
No matter how ambitious they are or how fiercely they fight for power, when it comes to life and death, they will always stand on the same side.
"Tsk! You old bastard, you're really cunning! You have to do this whether you want to or not, right? Since this is so dangerous, it's not unreasonable for me to ask for double the reward, is it? Double the reward for our entire team's points!"
If any members of my team are injured or die heroically in this battle, our base will have to provide compensation!
The speaker was a burly man with strange tattoos on his face; he was clearly the captain of an elite hunting team.
The manager laughed after hearing his words: "Although this request is a bit high, everyone is working hard for Ninth City, so I agree to Captain Xiong's request on behalf of Ninth City."
"Of course, we will also film the videos of your heroic battles to enhance your reputation among the residents of the Ninth City."
Clearly, the manager's words greatly satisfied the elite hunting team, who had previously been somewhat resentful.
The team leaders exchanged glances and a few words, and finally agreed to double the contribution points, compensation for combat casualties, and payment for the video recording.
Then the entire conference hall quieted down again.
The commander and the military personnel were relieved. Finally, with a slight smile, the commander asked one last question:
"So, we've reached a cooperation agreement? Does anyone here have any further questions?"
The manager's last question was clearly just a polite final step; things had obviously been settled by now, and no one would say anything more.
However, just as he was about to say no and we should adjourn the meeting and get ready to leave at noon, a deep but very magnetic and steady voice suddenly rang out in a huge conference hall.
"Could you zoom in on the video of that giant rabbit leader?"
The manager and everyone present were taken aback.
They followed the sound and found the person who spoke, only to discover a tall man sitting in the shadows in the corner, almost unnoticed by anyone before he spoke, but who, once he opened his mouth, became impossible for anyone to ignore.
The man's eyebrows and eyes were too sharp and unruly, giving him a wild and aggressive look, but he was also excessively handsome.
? !
The captains of the ten elite hunting teams instinctively sat up straight the moment they saw this man. They felt that he was extremely dangerous and definitely no weaker than them.
Even though the man had restrained his aura, he still overwhelmed them in an invisible way.
When the three regimental commanders of the military saw Xie Tianlang, their eyes flashed with a sharp light.
This person possessed the same aura as them, yet was far more uncontrollable.
The manager was certainly not a blind man. After seeing Xie Tianlang, he paused slightly, then smiled and nodded, signaling the researcher to switch the video.
Then he gently asked the man sitting in the corner, "This..."
Xie Tianlang raised his eyes: "Xie Tianlang."
"Mr. Xie, why did you watch the video of that giant rabbit leader? Did you discover something?"
Xie Tianlang twitched his lips as he looked at the video of the giant rabbit leader smashing a missile with a pine tree that had been brought up: "Not this one, it's the one that the mechanical bees secretly filmed in the last few days."
The researcher was somewhat puzzled, but quickly switched to videos of the giant rabbits' lives from the past few days.
Because those reconnaissance drones were modified to resemble mechanical bees, the closest mechanical bees even came within three meters of the giant rabbit herd.
Therefore, the mechanical bees were able to clearly capture videos of the giant rabbits eating together, sleeping together, and... watching the weasel Fugui dance together.
"Yes! Let's stop here for a bit."
Xie Tianlang suddenly spoke.
The camera stopped at a high-definition shot of the snow-white little weasel shaking its head and wagging its tail among a group of giant rabbits.
"? No, why are you looking at this? It's just a bunch of rabbits watching a white weasel dance." The bear captain asked, looking puzzled.
Xie Tianlang looked up and gave the stupid bear a look that, while lacking much emotion, conveyed an unusual sense of disgust and contempt.
"That's a weasel. Not a white weasel."
Captain Xiong: "..."
Holy crap, ever since I became the captain, nobody has dared to look at me like that anymore!
"So what if it's a weasel?! What does that have to do with our mission to kill rabbits?! Are you deliberately wasting our time?"
Captain Xiong was about to slam his fist on the table when the researcher next to him suddenly spoke up: "Actually, this weasel is quite strange. It appeared in the rabbit group about half a month ago."
The weasel and the rabbit occupy a predator-prey relationship in the food chain. Although weasels are small, they can use some rolling and leaping movements to confuse rabbits, then strike and kill them when they are off guard.
"This is the relationship between the weasel and the rabbit before they evolved."
"But obviously this weasel couldn't have hunted this group of huge rabbits, so its existence is quite strange."
After all, if a weasel cannot hunt rabbits, it would be almost impossible for it to survive among these giant rabbits whose diet has changed and whose temperament has become ferocious.
"But……"
At this point, the researcher's face showed a puzzled and mysterious expression that he couldn't explain scientifically:
"But this weasel not only survived, but... it seems to have become the darling of the giant rabbits."
The researchers were puzzled to see the giant rabbits seemingly losing their minds and offering all sorts of delicious wild fruits and river delicacies to the weasel, which should be considered the rabbits' natural enemy.
It's fantastic.
I just can't understand it!
But while he couldn't understand, one person understood instantly. They even laughed out loud at the cute little girl dancing.
Captain Xiong was very annoyed. He slammed his bear-like hand on the table and said, "What are you laughing at! So why are you watching this weasel dance?"
"Do you really expect to kidnap this weasel that dances for the rabbits and then make the giant rabbits obediently surrender?"
This was originally the biggest taunt that Captain Xiong had in mind at the end, but just as he raised his head high, ready to burst into laughter, he suddenly heard the man with wolf-like eyes speak:
"What's wrong with that?"
“I don’t need to kidnap him, he will jump into my arms on his own.”
Captain Xiong almost choked to death.
Then he looked at Xie Tianlang with an expression that seemed to say, "Do you think everyone is an idiot?"
At this moment, Xie Tianlang looked at the manager with a smile in his eyes and a slight curl of his lips:
"Manager, if someone can handle these giant rabbits all by themselves, will they receive contribution points from everyone present?"
The manager was taken aback for a moment, then assumed Xie Tianlang meant to kidnap the weasel. He thought the man was joking, but after meeting his dark eyes, the manager finally answered the question he thought was impossible.
"...Of course. If someone can resolve the giant rabbit crisis on their own, then they will certainly receive all the contribution points for this mission."
“This is a rather large number. But Mr. Xie, although the benefits are tempting, you also need to have the ability to do it.”
Xie Tianlang laughed, "Of course I have that ability."
No one is more amazing than his Yuanyuan.
"Let's go, let's set off now. We don't need powerful anesthetic or hypnotic grenades, we just need to get there."
This time, everyone was truly speechless, as if this guy was courting death. Even Song Sanchuan next to Xie Tianlang looked at his boss with a bewildered expression, wanting to say something but holding back.
In the end, the giant rabbit exterminators of the Ninth City made full preparations as planned and headed to the southwestern forest at 1 p.m. to fight the giant rabbits to the death.
Along the way, they all looked at Xie Tianlang with all sorts of eyes, mostly the kind of eyes that looked at an idiot or a madman.
Although they already knew that Xie Tianlang was the Wolf Exterminator who had been breaking extermination records with his unstoppable and terrifying abilities over the past two weeks, they still couldn't believe that Xie Tianlang could take down those giant rabbits on his own.
3:30 p.m.
All 1,500 elite hunters and military soldiers arrived outside the Giant Rabbit Forest.
They were prepared to sneak in and then desperately delay their advance.
But just as they were about to act, Xie Tianlang stood still, a smile on his face, and called out into the depths of the forest:
"Yuanyuan!! Daddy loves you~ Come into Daddy's arms quickly!!"
Then this idiot lunatic opened his arms.
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!
Just when everyone was itching to explode on the spot or instantly kill the guy who had disrupted their stealth, a tremendous, heart-stopping earthquake suddenly resounded through the forest.
Then, amidst the extreme vigilance of all the elite hunters and soldiers, they spotted a massive horde of rabbits approaching in droves!
Under the watchful eyes of those red eyes, everyone was so subdued that they could barely move. Only then did they realize with shock that they had underestimated these rabbits who were at the top of the food chain in this forest!
But at this point, there was nowhere left to retreat!
Just as the humans and the giant rabbit were locked in a standoff and the atmosphere was extremely tense, everyone suddenly heard a very cheerful sound that sounded like an animal's cry but wasn't quite.
Then, everyone present and the giant rabbits watched in disbelief as the pretty little weasel, who had been perched on the giant rabbit's head, suddenly jumped off the leader's head and howled as it rushed into Xie Tianlang's outstretched arms!
"Awoooooo fuck you, grandpa!"
Why are you only arriving now?!
Xie Tianlang's cold eyes softened instantly, and he steadily caught the circle in his heart.
