Chapter 17
Tang Yu'an looked at the words that appeared in front of him and confirmed it several times before he realized that he was not mistaken.
So, does the meaning of weapon soul mean that this umbrella has self-awareness?
I feel like it has quite a bit of personality.
"Brother Xiaoqi." Tang Yu'an shared this with Zhou Qi, "There's green paint in the shop. When we get back, we'll dye it green!"
Zhou Qi looked at this magical umbrella and felt that things might not be that simple, but he did not lose hope.
"Well, let's go back..."
Zhou Qi suddenly stopped talking halfway and looked at a collapsed building in the distance with some vigilance.
Even the four-eyed puppy lying at Tang Yu'an's feet stood up at this time. It also looked in that direction and bared its teeth fiercely.
Seeing this, Tang Yu'an quickly opened the map.
However, the map did not show the red light dot he expected. Instead, under his gaze, two green dots appeared one after another, representing potential customers!
Tang Yu'an looked up in surprise and saw two figures, one in front and one behind, walking out of the ruins and appearing in his sight.
The one walking in front was a young man with red hair, probably in his early twenties. The one walking behind was older and more robust, with yellowish-brown hair.
Their appearance and temperament are very special. They are neither pale and thin due to long-term malnutrition, nor depressed and sad due to the oppression of life. However, you can tell at a glance that they are people living in this wasteland world.
Tang Yu'an's attention fell on their clothes.
They were wearing very special clothes. Although they were dirty, you could tell at a glance that they were of good quality. The style was a bit like military combat uniforms, with weapons strapped to their arms, thighs and waists.
And... they had guns in their hands.
Looking at the gun barrel shining with metallic luster under the scorching sun, Tang Yu'an, who was happy about meeting a new potential customer, felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head.
That's a gun...
A gun he had only seen in movies and TV series!
Tang Yu'an also became alert. Even Granny Guo had considerable fighting power, not to mention these two people who looked like they were not easy to mess with.
"Woof woof!"
At this moment, the barking of the four-eyed puppy startled him.
Tang Yu'an lowered his head and saw Yuanbao grinning and rushing towards the two men with his short legs.
Fortunately, Zhou Qi reached out in time and grabbed the puppy into his arms, preventing it from leaving the umbrella and stopping his madness.
The two men did not hear Yuanbao's cry.
The red-haired young man stopped about ten meters away from them. He looked at the marks on the ground and said, "A battle just happened here."
The man who was one step behind nodded, "Judging from the traces, it should be the four-eyed dog."
"How did the battle end so quickly?" the red-haired young man asked. "Old Xie, besides us, did the fort send anyone else to this shabby place?"
Old Xie shook his head. "Maybe they were the indigenous people. The four-eyed dogs have good fighting ability and high spiritual perception. They probably sensed us coming, so they ran away."
Although the people living in the deserted city have some skills, they can only run for their lives when they encounter the four-eyed dog. Even for them, it takes some effort to deal with the monster.
"Tsk, it runs fast."
The red-haired young man curled his lips, looked into the distance, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Old Xie, you said there is really..."
It was far away, so Tang Yu'an couldn't hear clearly.
"It's very likely, but not certain, that's why we were sent here to check it out."
"Alright." The red-haired young man put the gun back on his waist. "Let's go catch some mutant creatures first!"
"Don't be careless. It is said that there used to be a pet base in the deserted city, so there are a lot of mutant creatures. We should be more careful."
"I know, you're so long-winded!"
Watching the two people gradually walk away, Tang Yu'an hurriedly marked their information on the map, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are they the people who came out of the castle that Grandma Guo mentioned?" Tang Yu'an tilted his head.
Zhou Qi nodded. He had heard the conversation between the two people clearly.
"It seems that the living standards inside and outside the fort are quite different." Zhou Qi said.
"Yeah." Tang Yu'an nodded and whispered, "They have guns."
Zhou Qi had just seen it, and they dared to fight against the mutant creatures. When they mentioned the mutant creatures, their tone was calm, which proved that their fighting ability should be quite good.
"I don't know what's in the city center?"
Zhou Qi looked in the direction where the grass and trees were becoming increasingly lush. Grandma Guo had said that the closer to the city center, the more lush the grass and trees were.
Could what they want to check be related to this?
"I hope it won't affect our shop." Tang Yu'an brought Yuanbao over, patted its head and said, "Have you seen them before?"
"Woof woof!"
The four-eyed puppy barked twice and bared its teeth, as if it had something against those two people.
Tang Yu'an rubbed its head again. No matter what happened before, they wouldn't encounter it again for the time being. He took out half a sausage and gave it to Yuanbao to eat. After calming the puppy down, he looked at Zhou Qi.
"Brother Xiaoqi, shall we continue to deal with the dangerous creatures?"
Zhou Qi looked at his watch. There was still more than an hour left before the light body technique ended. He weighed the pros and cons and nodded.
There were still two more dangerous creatures to clean up before he could complete the task. If he didn't have the umbrella, he would probably have taken An An back with him.
The battle with the four-eyed giant dog gave Zhou Qi a clear understanding of his own strength.
However, after he had the shadow umbrella, things became different - even if he really encountered danger and couldn't fight it, he was sure that he could retreat safely.
"Then let's go!"
Tang Yu'an checked the red dot closest to them on the map - now with the shadow umbrella, even if they were close to the mutant creature's nest, there shouldn't be any big problems.
Zhou Qi then carried Tang Yu'an on his back again, and the four-eyed puppy was placed in Tang Yu'an's hood.
The two boys set out again.
Tang Yu'an commanded Zhou Qi to move forward, and about ten minutes later, they came to a new ruin.
This place is located on the northwest side of the grocery store. There are many abandoned vehicles. It should have been an open-air parking lot. Those vehicles are either exposed on the ground or stuck deep in the mud. Most of them are rusted and dilapidated.
Zhou Qi landed on the ground carrying Tang Yu'an on his back.
There were two red dots on the map. Before they came over, the two red dots had been approaching each other and now they were almost overlapping.
At this moment, they were very close to the two mutant creatures, estimated to be less than ten meters away.
They didn't need to look for it deliberately, because they could hear the roars of wild beasts and the strange sounds of metal colliding from afar.
When Zhou Qi jumped onto the roof of a dilapidated car, two giant beasts appeared in their sight.
One of the beasts was a giant dog with grayish-white hair and red eyes. It howled at its opponent. Although it looked ferocious, it was obviously at a disadvantage.
And its opponent is a pitch-black... leopard?
Tang Yu'an felt it looked more like a big cat.
The big cat had a sleek, well-built body, and even from this distance, one could still see its graceful muscle lines. It stared at the giant dog, which was a size larger than itself, but it was calm and composed.
Because of the shadow-blocking umbrella, neither of the two mutant creatures noticed Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi approaching quietly.
Finally, the giant dog couldn't stand the pressure anymore and took the lead in attacking!
The battle is about to begin.
The giant dog's attack was ineffective, because the next moment, several abandoned cars around it started moving on their own, as if they were sucked in by a magnet.
"Bang--"
The giant dog crashed hard into the iron wall made of abandoned cars. Before it could react from the severe pain and confusion, the big cat had already circled behind it, raised its sharp claws and was about to tear the giant dog's back.
But at this moment——
"Woof woof!"
Yuanbao, who was lying in Tang Yu'an's hood, suddenly called out twice and then jumped out of the hood.
As soon as it left the range of the shadow umbrella, it returned to its original terrifying and hideous appearance.
In almost the blink of an eye, the four-eyed giant dog appeared beside the big cat, opening its huge mouth and biting it!
"Meow!"
The metal fuselage stuck in the mud on the ground suddenly flew up and blocked the attack for the big cat. The big cat, realizing something was wrong, quickly retreated.
Looking at the four-eyed giant dog that suddenly appeared, the big cat turned around and ran away without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Zhou Qi quickly came out from the umbrella, shook the cat toy to attract the big cat's attention, and when it looked over, threw out the dog frisbee.
Just as they had with the monitor lizard, they unsurprisingly turned the big cat into a dog.
When Dog Frisbee turns non-canines into dogs, it was probably random, and the originally cool and handsome black cat turned into a pure white Pomeranian.
Its fluffy fur was blown into a small ball, and it had a sweet appearance. It probably looked similar to the original, with only its golden eyes being retained.
"Wow! It's so cute!"
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
After Zhou Qi took away the dog frisbee, the "Pomeranian" was obviously stunned. It looked at the two human teenagers vigilantly, then turned around quickly, as if wanting to escape.
But it is obvious that it cannot immediately adapt to its dog-like body.
The puppy jumped with all its might, as if it wanted to jump over the abandoned car in front of it. This was actually an extremely easy task for it, as it could jump several meters high!
result……
The puppy bumped its head against the tire and then fell to the ground with stars in its eyes.
