That evening, when the wealthy and beautiful man returned to the base, his appearance surprised everyone who saw him.
Not only did the two Washington soldiers guarding the base gate look at him with worried eyes several times, but when he returned to the accommodation area, he was also questioned with inexplicable concern by Chi Yuanshan and his group who had returned from searching for plants.
"...Do you need any help? You don't look well." Chi Yuanshan spoke up, his eyes filled with the care and sympathy of a comrade-in-arms.
The wealthy beauty waved her hand weakly: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after I get back, eat something, and take a nap."
He knew, of course, that he didn't look good. After all, he had been running around and working all day and had hardly rested or eaten. It would be a miracle if he had any energy.
But Captain Chi is going a bit too far. He's just a little tired and not injured or missing any limbs. What's with this pitying, crippled look?
Chi Yuanshan paused for a moment after hearing Gou Fugui's refusal, then glanced at the area above Gou Fugui's right ear before finally respecting his opinion.
However, before leaving, he still kindly reminded him, "Hey, there's still food in the cafeteria. The food is pretty good today, so eat more if you're hungry."
As he said this, the thirteen members of the team behind him all nodded in unison, looking at him with admiration and affection.
"Eat more if you're hungry."
"Yes, yes, yes, you can also exchange points for nutritional supplements at the base's shops, like black sesame and walnut tonics, uh, well, there are a lot of good things. If you can, exchange some to eat more and nourish yourself."
"Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life. There's no need to worry too much about it."
The wealthy and beautiful man nodded again, but his doubts deepened. What was wrong with these people? Why were they suddenly so warm and friendly? And saying such strange things.
Then, after he returned to base camp, he learned the reason for that excessive enthusiasm and sympathy—
Song Sanchuan, that idiot, jumped up from beside his computer desk the moment he saw him, stretching out his arms to welcome his return. But after taking only two steps, he cried out in alarm:
"My God, Fugui, my brother! What happened to you today?! Why do you look so haggard and bald?!"
"Where did the patch of hair above your right ear go?! Who dared to pull your hair like that?! I'll shoot them dead!"
The wealthy beauty, looking exhausted, disheveled, and covered in a tattered burlap sack covered in mud, froze instantly. Incredulously, he raised his hand to touch the area above his right ear, finally finding it smooth.
"grass?!"
The wealthy and beautiful woman was struck dumb, and in just a few seconds, she vividly portrayed the transformation from glaring angrily and gritting her teeth to finally feeling utterly hopeless.
At this moment, Qin Feng, Lu Hu and others from the second team had already gathered around, some pouring water, some taking sacks, and someone even brought over a folding alloy stool for him to sit on and rest.
The consolation from everyone was: "Don't worry about being rich, your hair will grow back. You're still a handsome man even without hair." And, "Who pulled your hair? Brothers, let's get revenge!"
The bald-headed, rich and beautiful woman took a sip of lemon honey water with a forced smile, then chuckled through gritted teeth, "...It's nothing, I just ran too fast and accidentally died, that's all."
What revenge? Not to mention that those damned brats had hundreds of adult animals guarding them, could a handsome young man as magnanimous and kind possibly stoop to the level of those brats?!
He couldn't, so he could only endure it.
"Hey, you're running way too fast." Song Sanchuan, with his baby face, patted his rich brother without any sense of tact: "You don't have to be in such a hurry next time. Nothing is more precious than your life."
"The cafeteria is serving crispy fried lamb chops and sweet and sour pork tonight. Want to go eat together?"
The wealthy beauty with a bald patch on her ear rolled her eyes: "No. I just want to sleep right now. I don't have any worldly desires."
So the rest of the team smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then each took their own lunchbox and headed to the base canteen.
They weren't base soldiers and weren't supposed to eat for free in the mess hall, but because of the one and a half golden flowers that Honey Badger Fugui had stolen, the base commander decided to let them eat in the mess hall for free.
After everyone left, Gou Fugui, sitting on the folding chair, touched the skin on his ear that had been licked off by some little brat with heartache, cursing the beast cubs in his heart.
But after he finished yelling, he went straight to his bed in the corner, pounced on it, and prepared to sleep.
I have absolutely no desire to shower; I'm hungry, tired, and all I want to do is sleep.
But just then, he heard clear footsteps approaching him. Gou Fugui didn't bother to turn around, but felt his hair being gently stroked, followed by his familiar, deep, magnetic voice:
"I got you some food from the cafeteria: crispy fried lamb chops, sweet and sour pork, hand-shredded cabbage, and pearl meatball soup. Do you want some?"
The wealthy, bald beauty, who had just been devoid of worldly desires, immediately turned her head and obediently sat up in bed, saying, "Eat."
We're starving, so why not eat the food that's practically served to us?
However, as he turned his head, Xie Tianlang saw the bald patch on his right ear. Even the usually composed Xie Tianlang raised his eyebrows: "Who did this?"
How dare anyone touch his rich and beautiful Yuanyuan's thick, black hair?
Gou Fugui twitched the corner of his mouth.
Not wanting to admit that the lambs had gotten it while licking their fur and picking off lice, I stuffed a lamb chop into my mouth and pretended I hadn't heard anything.
Xie Tianlang's lips twitched slightly when he saw him stuffing his mouth like a hamster. Well, at least he knew that the hair definitely wasn't from the fight, otherwise his little hothead wouldn't have been so good-natured and didn't hold it against him.
But this only makes people more curious: who can pull out Fugui Yuanyuan's hair?
Unfortunately, we can't get an answer from them now.
"Today I walked more than ten miles north and found some flowers and plants, but I don't think these common plants are likely to be the antidote for the golden flower."
"We also saw people from Washington State and other bases on the way. It seems that Grandpa Zhong has already told Sanchez's team and the bases in various countries about the Golden Flower antidote."
"However, I don't think someone like Sanchez would just look for plants and do nothing else."
"Also, the various bases were attacked by those zombie animals today, but it seems there are fewer animals than before. Probably after the city walls are built, those zombie animals will be completely unable to cause any damage to the bases."
Xie Tianlang recounted everything he had done and experienced that day. Gou Fugui listened and ate, pausing only at the very end.
There are fewer zombie animals than before.
Because whether the animals killed themselves or were killed by humans, there were already enough.
The culprit who brought all this to light is still alive and well.
Gou Fugui finished eating all the rice in his lunchbox before looking up at Xie Tianlang: "Do you still have the canned meat that Golden Flower traded for?"
Xie Tianlang nodded: "The flowers you brought back, the things you traded for, you didn't use them, so of course they're still here."
Although Gou Fugui was part of the same team as them, neither Xie Tianlang nor Qin Feng's team of ten elite special forces soldiers would ever consider what Gou Fugui had obtained as their own.
This is their principle, and also their pride.
Gou Fugui laughed when he heard this. Being treated with such respect always puts him in a good mood: "We're all family, so please feel free to eat."
"However, well, I'm thinking of using that food to feed a few pets, what do you think?"
Xie Tianlang raised his eyebrows again, noticing that the long-haired youth sitting opposite him was looking away and avoiding eye contact. He chuckled and asked, "How many?"
Gou Fugui's gaze shifted even more sharply: "Well, about seventy or eighty."
Those who eat grass can be self-sufficient, so he only raises animals that eat meat.
Xie Tianlang, upon hearing that there were only seventy or eighty, assumed it was just a simple matter of seventy, eighty, or ten. He immediately nodded and said, "Of course, no problem. I can raise Yuanyuan, so why can't you raise Fangfang or Maomao?"
"Did you find an injured cub or an adult animal? You can bring them here to raise, and I can help build them a shelter."
"If there are still about ten left, they can probably consume a box of canned meat a day. You've traded for a total of two hundred boxes of canned meat, which should last them for about half a year. Once they've finished all the canned meat, we'll fly to a nearby city to stock up on more."
Xie Tianlang made the arrangements with complete understanding and agreement. His earnest and understanding manner finally made the wealthy and beautiful woman, who was already feeling a little guilty, unable to bear the pangs of conscience and speak the truth.
The long-haired Fugui touched his nose, reached out and pressed Xie Tianlang's arm, and whispered, "Ahem. One box a day might not be enough."
Xie Langren looked at the man's fingers pressing on his arm, narrowed his eyes, and smiled: "One box a day isn't enough? You can't expect dozens of boxes a day, can you? Are all your dozen or so pets tigers and leopards?"
"No, there are also foxes and wolves, plus a few small snakes."
Werewolf Xie: "...?"
"Well, didn't I just tell you? About seventy or eighty of them."
Gou Fugui finished his sentence in one breath: "Probably less than one hundred and fifty!"
Even Xie Langmie, a veteran of countless battles, couldn't help but bend the metal water glass he was holding after hearing this number.
"I thought you just wanted to keep a few pets... but it turns out you're planning to keep half a forest alive???"
Even when facing his own daughter, Yuanyuan, Xie Tianlang would have to admit he was being reckless.
But by this time, Gou Fugui had already spoken his mind and had no more reservations.
"It's alright, it's not actually half a forest. The main problem is that I can't just stand by and watch those little ones starve to death."
Gou Fugui told Xie Tianlang everything he had seen and experienced that day with a wry smile. At that moment, he suddenly felt that it was good to have someone who knew the secret of his ability to transform. At least when he encountered something he wanted to discuss or confide in, he wouldn't have to keep it all bottled up inside.
"You have no idea how I felt when I saw those animals committing suicide one by one and the wild boars barely managing to come back only to be devoured by their young."
"I really felt that they were too difficult."
"And they shouldn't have had to suffer all of this."
Xie Tianlang fell silent for a moment after hearing this, but compared to Gou Fugui, who was kind and easily swayed, the werewolf was clearly more rational and calm.
Survival is a battle. It's a fight to the death.
"However, this battle was an undeserved disaster for them. We should definitely do something."
"If there are 150 carnivorous cubs, even if each one eats one can of food a day, that would still be 150 cans a day. There are 30 cans in a case of food. Those 200 cases of food would only last for 40 days."
Xie Tianlang shook his head: "Let's calculate it as one month. After one month, we'll have to fly to cities in South Africa to find food for them."
"In other types of apocalypses, finding enough meat might not be easy, but in this world... one trip should be enough to bring back enough food."
"I'll pack up those canned foods and hang them on the forest off-road motorcycle. You take a shower and get some rest. Tomorrow I'll go with you to deliver food to those little creatures."
Xie Tianlang quickly and efficiently finished explaining his arrangements and was about to get up to get to work.
When he stood up, he noticed that his daughter, Yuanyuan, was staring up at him with wide eyes, and the look in her big, beautiful phoenix eyes was the kind of look he liked.
Xie Tianlang raised an eyebrow: "What?"
"You don't even think I'm reckless, yet you want to raise animals with me?"
No normal person would react like this, right?
Xie Tianlang laughed: "You're certainly reckless, but..."
"but?"
"However, I chose Yuanyuan myself, so even if it's a reckless move, I have to accept it."
"You kill people, I'll bury the graves; you raise animals, I'll raise meat. Hmm, we're a match made in heaven."
The wealthy beauty initially felt a slight blush when he heard the second-to-last line, but upon hearing the last line, he burst out laughing and kicked out, exclaiming, "A match made in heaven, father and son!"
"Go get the cans! Dad's taking a bath and going to bed!"
Seeing that the guy had finally perked up again, Xie Langren chuckled and turned to leave.
"You're all clean now. Dad will tell you a story when he gets back."
"Tui!"
That night, Gou Fugui slept soundly. Of course, no werewolf told him a bedtime story; it was just a hot bath that gave him a sleep boost.
The next morning, she was once again a radiant and wealthy beauty, and the small bald patch near her ear was covered up with the hair on top of her head.
The wealthy and beautiful woman declared that she would not let those brats near her again today, no matter what!
Then Xie Tianlang rode off on his motorcycle with his beloved Fugui Yuanyuan and five boxes of canned meat hanging on either side of the off-road motorcycle, all under the watchful eyes of Qin Feng and the others.
"Hey, Captain Qin, what's Xie up to? Why did he suddenly run off with five boxes of canned food? Are they planning a picnic?"
Qin Feng rolled his eyes at Lao Ma, who was particularly fond of gossip: "How could you possibly guess what Boss Xie is going to do? Stop talking nonsense. Today we're going to go a bit further, in groups of four, and we'll be bringing tents. We might have to spend the night outside. Be careful."
"yes!"
Yesterday, it took Tibetan fox Fugui two hours to follow the fox family to the valley hidden by wild grass, vines and rocks. Today, with the forest off-road motorcycle, even after a little more navigation on the road, Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang arrived at the outskirts of their destination in just half an hour.
Upon seeing the dense wall of thorns in the distance, Gou Fugui made Xie Tianlang stop the car. He then got out, glanced sideways at the werewolf who seemed to be waiting to see a good show, gave him a mocking look, and scoffed before transforming into Tibetan Fox Fugui.
When that square-faced, narrow-eyed fox, whose entire being exuded a natural sense of mockery, appeared in front of Xie Tianlang, Xie the Wolf couldn't help but chuckle.
Then he received an even more mocking and dissatisfied look from Zanghu Fugui, and for some reason he felt a little itchy to touch him.
"Alright, I'll wait for you outside. You... well, if you encounter any danger, just call out twice."
"But I've never heard a Tibetan fox call before. Why don't you call out a couple of times so I can hear it?"
Xie Langren listened intently with an expectant expression, only to hear two words coldly uttered from the fox's mouth.
"Idiot."
Can't Dad yell for help? Go to hell!
Then, the square-faced, noble fox dragged the five crates of canned meat in the large net, huffing and puffing as it walked forward.
Watching the fox stand upright, dragging something with its two paws, Xie Langren silently raised his wrist, pointed the watch's camera and webcam forward, and called out, "Fangfang! Turn around and look at your dad!"
Fu Guifang: "..."
Without turning her head, she gave the person behind her a haughty and aloof middle finger.
Your whole family is scared!
Xie Tianlang was left behind, laughing silently.
After the Tibetan fox Fangfang huffed and puffed as it dragged the five boxes of canned meat through the thorny bushes, around the steep slopes and the traps dug by the animals, it was met with the wolf king, the stag with broken antlers, the new wild boar leader, and the dozen or so ferocious and strongest adult animals that had already spotted it and were waiting there warily.
The animals that were friendly and even somewhat fond of him yesterday suddenly turned cold in their eyes, and one could even see a hint of hostility and murderous intent in them.
Animals can accept a strange animal that possesses human weapons.
But we absolutely cannot accept an animal that has been domesticated and tamed by humans.
Those animals are already different from them.
Fu Gui, the Tibetan fox, saw this meaning in the eyes of these animals, especially the half-zombie wolf king. But he was already prepared, and instead of backing down, he took another step forward and pushed the five boxes of canned meat he was dragging ahead.
Then, Xie Tianlang, who was listening intently to the sounds inside the dense forest, and the other powerful animals watching him from within, saw the square-faced fox stand upright, hands on hips, chin held high, swishing its tail and barking:
"Don't look at me like that, like I'm an enemy! I wasn't tamed by humans, understand? I'm the one who tamed that human outside!!"
"I not only tamed him, I also made him offer us food! Look at and smell these cans! Don't be ungrateful!"
Xie Tianlang, who was eavesdropping outside and had been tamed, thought: "...Heh~"
The beasts, looking at the proud fox with its hands on its hips, groaned: "...Awooo?"
Although I didn't fully understand what the fox was saying, I suddenly felt that he seemed very powerful.
Especially when the square-faced fox opened the box containing canned meat, took out a can of meat, opened it in front of everyone, took a bite, and then handed it directly to the wild animals, the animals that had been hostile towards the Tibetan fox Fugui suddenly looked at him with shock and joy.
"Awooo?" A small leopard, clearly very thin from hunger, crawled over after smelling the aroma of meat.
Then he immediately latched onto the coattails of the Tibetan fox, Fugui!
The Tibetan fox, Fugui, nearly lost its footing when the leopard pounced on it, but it still managed to hand the can of meat in its hand to the little leopard.
"Aww!!"
The little leopard got excited and started grunting and puffing.
When the little leopard got some food, it stared intently at the other carnivorous cubs, who all became excited and rushed over, howling and squeaking.
Fugui the Tibetan fox was feeding the leopard cub and wasn't paying attention for a moment. When he looked up again, he was horrified to find...
He was surrounded by these cubs again! And this time, in order to get some canned meat, the cubs were licking their fur, scratching themselves, and rubbing against each other even more vigorously, which scared the Tibetan fox Fugui so much that he started whimpering!
"Waaaaah, don't come any closer!! I don't want to go bald again!!!"
Werewolf Xie, who was eavesdropping: "..."
So, that patch of hair actually became bald like this?
