Qiao He frowned slightly; she was also unsure what had happened in the city.
In short, it looks very strange.
Near the high walls outside the city, there were guns and ammunition tracking moving objects, clearly indicating that they were there to guard against humans.
But there was no one inside.
Qiao He wondered if all those people had gone into hiding.
Doesn't their current situation mean they're essentially exposed to the elements?!
Qiao He's heart tightened, and she immediately wanted to tell everyone to hide first and not stay here any longer. If they were seen by the people in the city, they would be in a terrible situation where the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light.
Wouldn't they be able to do whatever they want to them at that point?
A sneak attack is a piece of cake!
However, the next second, Qiao He heard Qiao Bu say, "Mom, don't worry, I've cast an illusion around everyone. To them, this is just a moving fog."
"And as long as we walk slowly enough, we generally won't be exposed," Job said obediently, then walked up to Qiao He and begged for help.
Qiao He was slightly surprised; she hadn't expected the kitten to understand her so well!
Before she could even voice her thoughts, Job had already guessed them.
"Aww, you're so cute, baby Abu! You're such a good boy/girl~ Mommy loves you to death!" Qiao He picked Qiao Bu up from the ground, then rubbed him hard and kissed him several times.
Job was immediately satisfied, looking smugly at the other kittens who hadn't been kissed, and at Qiao Yin, who was now a cute little boy.
Qiao Li glanced at Qiao Bu silently, too lazy to bother with this green tea cat.
Anyway, this wasn't the first or second time that Qiao Li had tried to win their favor, so she was used to it and didn't bother with him anymore.
Anyway, Qiao He's love for them is equally deep, so Qiao Li won't be jealous like her cat.
But Qiao Fei was really annoyed by Job, that green tea cat!
He let out a loud howl, which sounded like he was swearing.
Qiao He couldn't help but laugh. So that's what they were saying when they were yelling like that before!
Just now, Qiao Fei said to Qiao Bu with great dissatisfaction, "Hmph! You think you're so great, so capable, huh! Hehehe, although I admit that your superpower is sometimes useful, mine is definitely more powerful!"
"If it weren't for me, we wouldn't be able to get in from underground now~ So Mom, praise me too, I'm very amazing, meow!" Qiao Fei raised her little cat head and looked at Qiao He with an expectant expression.
Qiao He was both amused and exasperated. She hadn't understood cat language before, and had no idea what they were calling outside. Now, however, she found it quite amusing…
She really didn't expect them to be vying for each other's favor, hahaha!
The kittens love her so much, I'm so touched.
So Qiao He petted each of the kittens before continuing on her way.
Bo Shiwu looked at Qiao He with envy, wanting to touch him too, but he couldn't.
Because Qiao Li, Qiao Fei, and Qiao Yin all "disliked" him and wouldn't let him touch them.
The only things you can touch are Qiao Ju, a glutton with a huge appetite, and Xiao Qiao Hua, who has a silly and cute face.
He couldn't even touch Qiao Jin, because Qiao Jin would beat him up.
Bo Shiwu shook his head helplessly; it seemed that the road to winning over the kittens was long and arduous.
After that, the group continued walking forward.
Thanks to Job's superpowers, they were indeed not discovered by anyone else in the city.
However, Qiao He did discover that although there weren't many people here, they were all elites.
Even if they weren't superhumans, they were all strong and powerful adult men.
Strong women do exist, but they are few and far between.
They all look like trained fighters, the kind who are really good at fighting.
Their faces were all very solemn, and they were wearing dirty clothes, looking like refugees.
But that's normal. Natural disasters keep happening one after another, and very few people can survive cleanly. Even people like Qiao He and his friends who don't have to worry about food and drink haven't had a bath for several days.
However, given the current situation, Qiao He doesn't expect any better living conditions.
The most important thing right now is to find Joss and then rescue the baby!
We'll see how things go. As far as Qiao He knows, extreme cold may be coming soon.
Before the extreme cold arrives, they should migrate south, and if they can go to the tropical regions near the equator, that would be even better.
Even if you don't have time to go there, it's best to live in the southern coastal areas where the temperature is higher.
If you stay in the north all the time, you might really freeze to death!
Qiao He still remembers the nightmare from back then: countless people freezing to death in their homes, on the streets, in the wild, underground...
The snow was so heavy it could completely cover an office building that was more than ten stories high, and then turn into solid ice the next day.
At that time, most of the humans who failed to escape were frozen to death in the snow and ice.
One by one, they died with smiles on their faces, completely naked, their faces bearing eerie smiles.
They looked very peaceful, as if they had not suffered much hardship.
But Qiao He knew that freezing to death was a very painful and miserable experience.
As one gradually sinks into despair, the body, in an attempt to save itself, will induce hallucinations, ultimately leading to death without the person even realizing it.
But the most terrifying thing is not just freezing to death.
After freezing to death, these corpses became food for other humans.
In a world of ice and snow, it is impossible for any plants or animals to survive. This is becoming increasingly common now, and by the time extreme cold arrives, everyone's food supplies will have been depleted.
At that time, there were no supplies. People didn't even have anything to eat, and they couldn't even get tree bark or grass roots to eat.
If they don't eat human corpses, what else would they eat?
She had witnessed all sorts of cruel and horrific things, including cannibalism among her own kind.
Therefore, Qiao He doesn't want to live in such a terrifying world in this lifetime.
She wants to leave this place and escape to a warmer place!
At least in areas with relatively high temperatures, the temperature won't be so low that it's impossible for people to survive.
Following Qiao Fei and Qiao Jin's memories, the two kittens managed to lead them to the mountainous area they had escaped from.
This place is extremely desolate. The mountains are riddled with landslides and mudslides, as well as large areas of floodwater. The floodwaters have not yet receded, and the surface of the water is littered with the corpses of humans and animals, which smell terrible and look disgusting.
Left with no other option, Qiao He could only tell everyone to wear masks again for protection, in case any other strange germs appeared, which would be terrible.
Then, they finally found the place where the little guy had escaped from.
but……
It's flooded here.
It was a huge body of water, almost like a completely different place.
Qiao He frowned and said, "It's already flooded like this, so the underground laboratory must have been completely flooded as well."
