After Ye Qingyu finished speaking, Jiang Wu looked at her with a complicated expression and said softly, "You've been so busy these past few days that we hardly ever see you. You've been researching these things?"
Ye Qingyu nodded and smiled, saying, "Back at the base, Zhao Yanwen wouldn't allow anyone, including me, to use these instruments because he was worried about them being damaged. Now that we can use them, we should definitely get the research on the agenda as soon as possible."
Jiang Wu couldn't help but pull Ye Qingyu into his arms, saying with emotion, "Having a researcher like you is a blessing for all the survivors of Fuxing City and Guanghui City. You've worked so hard these past few days..."
......
Outside Glorious City, the roar of engines filled the air.
Tens of thousands of residents, led by the remaining soldiers of the Radiant Army, were busy at work.
Repairing city walls, digging fortifications, transporting materials...
Everyone's face was filled with anticipation for a better future.
When the apocalypse came, the survivors, who have struggled to this day, are not afraid of hardship or fatigue.
What they fear most is despair about the future.
Radiant City has now achieved unification, and even the surrounding forces, large and small, have all submitted, proving Radiant City's strength.
Moreover, the current large-scale construction projects will provide these laborers with ample material rewards, which motivates everyone.
While construction was in full swing throughout Glory City, a giant white wolf was running wildly outside the city.
On its back, Jiang An'an kept emitting silvery laughter.
Ye Qingrou kept calling out, "An'an, you have to sit still! It will hurt a lot if you fall!"
Jiang An'an said with a grin, "I'm not afraid! It won't hurt even if I fall! I'm so amazing! Xiaobai is so fast!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang An'an said, "Aunt Ye, let's run further away! Little White can't run at full speed here, there are people everywhere."
Ye Qingrou was taken aback and was about to refuse when she heard Jiang An'an laughing loudly, "Xiao Bai, run in that direction! Run far away!"
The mutated white wolf was running energetically when it heard Jiang An'an's words, and obediently ran in that direction.
It was very intelligent; it could not only understand some simple words, but also knew that the little girl it was carrying on its back was the child of those two most terrifying humans.
Listen to her, you can't go wrong!
Ye Qingrou was at a loss and could only subconsciously look around.
Six beautiful girls dressed in white robes always followed them around.
They were all very fast, barely able to keep up with Xiaobai's normal running speed.
An An said that these people were maids left behind by An An's mother to protect An An, and were also known as blood slaves.
With them always by her side to protect her, there's no need to worry about An'an getting into trouble.
Ye Qingrou could only remind her, "Don't run too fast, An'an, otherwise the maids protecting you won't be able to keep up. If they tell your parents about this, they won't let you run around anymore."
Jiang An'an remembered Jiang Wu and the Blood Woman's instructions, pouted, and said irritably, "I know, I know."
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a grin, "Xiaobai, run that way! I can sense that there are quite a few people active in that direction! I need to go and rescue the survivors too!"
Ye Qingrou was stunned and looked in the direction Jiang An'an pointed.
Over there, besides mutated plants, there are only vast mountains.
Are there really a lot of people out there?
Ye Qingrou couldn't help but ask, "An'an, are you really sure there are a lot of people active in that direction?"
Jiang An'an nodded and said, "I'm sure. Now, if I carefully sense it, I can feel the presence of people, and I can sense it from a very, very far distance. But I need to check if it matches what I sense."
After a pause, Jiang An'an said with a grin, "However, this ability only appeared the day before yesterday. It works very well at short distances, but I don't know if it's accurate at longer distances."
Ye Qingrou was speechless; she had just wanted to test Jiang An'an's ability.
But at this moment, Jiang An'an had already directed Xiaobai to run in the direction she had indicated.
Ye Qingrou sighed inwardly, feeling helpless.
That little white thing, when my sister comes back, I'll definitely let her teach it a lesson.
With a new owner, they don't listen to me anymore!
But the next second, Ye Qingrou felt a little discouraged.
An'an's older sister dotes on her, and now that Xiao Bai listens to An'an so well, her older sister might be even happier.
Where would you find someone to lecture a novice?
Deep in a remote jungle, dozens of kilometers away from Radiant City.
A dozen or so men spread out and surrounded a mutated rat that had fallen into a trap.
These men were haggard and thin, but their eyes were resolute, and they gripped various crude yet deadly homemade weapons tightly in their hands.
The mutated giant rat was enormous, even larger than a water buffalo before the apocalypse, and its body was covered with a layer of glossy black bristles.
Two long front teeth protrude from the corners of his mouth, like two sharp daggers.
Its two feet, one in front and one behind, were caught in two huge animal traps and entangled in many vines.
But it did not give up struggling, its thick limbs frantically digging at the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
Its huge black eyes seemed to glow with a blood-red light as it cautiously stared at the crowd surrounding it.
The men also approached cautiously and slowly, their weapons trembling slightly.
It wasn't out of fear. None of the people who have survived to this day and are still out hunting are cowards or weaklings.
They were excitedly nervous!
They dared not approach rashly, for these mutated creatures, even if severely injured, might still possess deadly attack power.
Moreover, this mutated giant rat was merely trapped.
Suddenly, the large rat turned its head sharply, its blood-red eyes revealing madness and rage.
It opened its gaping maw and suddenly lunged at a person who was approaching, its sharp teeth gleaming coldly.
At this critical moment, a lithe and sharp-eyed middle-aged man spotted the opening in the rat's attack.
He roared, gripped the steel spear made of sharpened rebar with both hands, and with all his might plunged it into the mouth of the mutated giant rat.
"Thud!" The steel spear pierced deep into the ground, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering onto the surrounding grass.
The mutated rat cried out in pain, its scream piercing the air, and it struggled even more violently.
Its tail was like a thick whip, lashing wildly in all directions, sending the surrounding trees flying.
"Quickly, everyone attack together!" someone shouted.
As if waking from a dream, everyone shouted and rushed forward, thrusting their steel spears towards the giant rat's vital parts.
In an instant, shouts of battle, the screams of rats, and the sounds of weapons clashing with flesh mingled together, shattering the silence of the jungle.
