The few small groups of zombies wandering by the river were quickly wiped out by the special forces.
The clean water source made everyone furious. Without He Sizhao's words, everyone was full of energy and would not let go of any zombie, but they were also careful not to let the corpses fall into the river.
Faced with the hard-earned water source, everyone cherishes it extremely.
The convoy stopped beside the river. In the hot breeze, the river surface was shimmering with golden light. If it weren't for the zombie corpses lying around, it would seem that time was peaceful, as if the terrible apocalypse had never happened.
Jiang Chuyi felt that it was boring to just sit in the car, so he got out as well.
Seeing them all standing there, she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't water scarce? Why don't you go get some?"
"Natural water in the apocalypse is very dangerous. We need to ensure it's safe first." He Sizhao stood beside her and pointed towards Su Mo. "Look, this is why Su Mo summoned Xiaoxue."
Jiang Chuyi looked intently and saw Su Mo holding the lop-eared rabbit in front of his eyes. Even with the lenses blocking his view, one could see the pure tenderness flowing in his eyes.
The sunlight shone on his long black hair, making it sparkle with golden glimmers.
Jiang Chuyi looked at it and reached out to grab a strand of her long hair.
After seeing that her hair was also black and shiny, not inferior to Su Mo's, she let it go with satisfaction.
After a few minutes, Su Mo and Xiaoxue finished their conversation. He squatted down and put Xiaoxue on the ground.
Xiaoxue immediately jumped to the riverside, tentatively stretched out its three-lobed mouth and long beard, and carefully touched the river water.
The members of the special forces team were all very aware of Su Mo Rabbit's abilities. They watched its movements without blinking, holding their breath.
In the silence, the white lop-eared rabbit seemed to have gotten the information it wanted and jumped back into Su Mo's arms.
A few seconds later, Su Mo's face showed a look of joy. He first touched Xiaoxue's head and said, "Thank you, Xiaoxue."
Then he turned around and nodded to He Sizhao with a smile.
Everyone cheered.
"The water here is fine." He Sizhao's voice remained calm, but his expression softened for a moment. "Everyone, take some back home. Remember to boil it before drinking."
"yes!"
Everyone was extremely excited. They quickly returned to the car to get their equipment and ran towards the river.
"Xiaoyi, wait here for me." He Sizhao lowered his head, and there was a hint of warmth in his voice, "I'll go help."
Jiang Chuyi waved his hand to show his agreement.
She was very satisfied that her mount would report to her about everything it did.
She watched everyone going back and forth to fetch water. At first she was just curious, but after watching for a few minutes she understood what was going on and then lost interest in the matter.
She was just about to go back to the car and sit and wait when suddenly a white light appeared in the corner of her eyes and she felt a furry touch at her feet.
She immediately realized what it was, and she squatted on the spot, slowly lowering her head to look.
Su Mo's rabbit Xiaoxue was squatting on the ground, looking up at Jiang Chuyi.
Jiang Chuyi looked around and saw that Su Mo was busy fetching water like everyone else, and didn't seem to notice that his rabbit had run here.
She lowered her head again and said coldly, "Go away."
However, I don’t know if the lop-eared rabbit understood or not. It still squatted there motionless, looking at Jiang Chuyi.
Jiang Chuyi hesitated for a moment, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she squatted down and stared at the weak and soft creature.
This lop-eared rabbit is not a wild or domestic rabbit, and its eyes are not the common red, but transparent blue. It stared at Jiang Chuyi's black eyes with its big eyes wide open.
A gust of wind blew, and the weeds around Jiang Chuyi swayed, and together with the fur around the lop-eared rabbit, the scene was full of tranquility and softness.
"Aren't you afraid of being killed by hanging out with humans?" Jiang Chuyi said softly, with a flash of disgust and mockery in his eyes. "Or, you might end up with consequences worse than death."
She had no talent for controlling animals, so she certainly didn't expect the rabbit to answer her.
After she said this, she felt that it was stupid of her to talk to a rabbit, so she wanted to get up and leave.
However, the lop-eared rabbit seemed to understand what she said. It suddenly jumped on the spot, ran around Jiang Chuyi, and stopped in front of her again.
Jiang Chuyi was startled: "What do you want to tell me?"
The lop-eared rabbit couldn't speak, but it just rubbed the back of Jiang Chuyi's hand with its fluffy rabbit head, and a look of fondness flowed in its round blue eyes.
As soon as she felt the soft touch, Jiang Chuyi's expression changed drastically. She instinctively wanted to step back, but she forgot that she was squatting and sat down on the ground.
Her face looked ugly and her anger began to condense, but at this moment her arms shook and a soft furry thing jumped into her arms.
Jiang Chuyi: ...
She froze in place, staring at the rabbit in her arms with unfamiliar eyes, as if she were looking at a prehistoric creature she had never seen before.
After a while, a trace of struggle flashed across her face, and then she very carefully stretched out a finger and gently touched the big ear hanging at her side.
So soft and furry.
The lop-eared rabbit stood up proudly in her arms, as if saying: What do you think, am I cute?
Jiang Chuyi's stiff body gradually relaxed.
She looked at the creature in front of her, which was full of vitality and completely different from the same species in her memory, and the rejection in her eyes gradually faded.
"You are different from the rabbits I know." She whispered and tentatively touched the lop-eared rabbit's head, just like Su Mo did.
The lop-eared rabbit didn't resist at all and even rubbed against her palm.
Jiang Chuyi experienced this strange feeling and his eyes softened.
"Xiaoxue is a very smart rabbit. She can tell the difference between good and bad people." Su Mo's voice suddenly rang out from the side. "Except for me, I've never seen her get so close to anyone."
Jiang Chuyi's hand that was touching the rabbit froze for a moment.
She raised her head warily and saw Su Mo standing not far away. The breeze blew his long hair, making the smile on his face look clean and warm.
But the way he looked at Jiang Chuyi was a little strange, and there was a hint of subtle scrutiny.
The way he looked at her was completely different from when he was with He Sizhao and the others.
Seeing Jiang Chuyi looking at him silently, Su Mo took a few steps forward. After seeing Jiang Chuyi's increasingly vigilant expression, he stopped again and opened his hands to indicate that he was harmless.
Just when he thought Jiang Chuyi didn't want to be alone with him, he heard Jiang Chuyi's cold voice: "What are you going to do with it?"
Su Mo was stunned and didn't answer for a moment.
Jiang Chuyi seemed to be prodded. She stood up holding the rabbit and stared at Su Mo: "No matter what you wanted to do to it before, it's mine now. You are not allowed to do anything."
If someone else were standing here, they would probably not be able to understand the logic behind this.
Wasn't the rabbit his? How come Jiang Chuyi suddenly took it for himself?
He also made it seem like he, the real master, was a bad guy.
But it was Su Mo who was standing there. He looked at Jiang Chuyi like this, not only did he not show any doubt, but he said with a hint of understanding: "What do you think I will use it for?"
"I don't know. But I know that no matter what humans do, it's not surprising." Jiang Chuyi saw that Su Mo had no intention of answering, but instead changed the subject. He became more alert, and his eyes revealed an aggressive look. "I said, you are not allowed to do anything now."
Su Mo and He Sizhao have a good relationship, which is the only reason why she hasn't taken action yet.
Because of her special energy, she can feel the subtle magnetic field around other people. Although she can't read their minds directly, she can feel something deeper than the surface.
Su Mo looks gentle and easy-going, but he is actually much darker than He Sizhao.
The reason why she got used to He Sizhao so quickly was not only because he was good at reading people's expressions, but also because she felt that his magnetic field was pure white.
It was as if that man had no dark side or dark thoughts, so she could get along with him without worry and even allowed him to touch her body.
But Su Mo is not.
Even if it's not pure black, Su Mo's color is much darker than that of ordinary people.
She hadn't shown it before because he hadn't gotten in her way.
Now she wanted to protect the animal in her arms, so naturally she wouldn't back down.
Although the book doesn't mention that Su Mo would use rabbits to conduct cruel experiments, the plot is already a mess, so who can say for sure about such things?
Jiang Chuyi had no intention of giving in.
Su Mo's eyes flashed. When he saw that the lop-eared rabbit not only had no intention of returning to him, but instead found a place to nestle more comfortably in Jiang Chuyi's arms, the scrutiny in his eyes gradually disappeared.
"You're worried about what I'll do to Xiaoxue because all the rabbits you've seen have done bad things to them, right?" Su Mo's voice was filled with genuine tenderness and sincerity. "I promise you, I won't do anything bad to Xiaoxue. She's my loyal companion and friend."
"Really?" Jiang Chuyi stared at him suspiciously.
"Really." Su Mo said slowly. He reached out and took off his glasses. His warm and beautiful eyes were exposed to Jiang Chuyi without any obstruction, allowing her to see the sincerity in his eyes. "If you don't believe me, ask Xiaoxue. If she isn't afraid of me, doesn't that prove my innocence?"
Unconsciously, the tone he used when speaking to Jiang Chuyi had changed from before.
That gentle and soft voice, almost coaxing, was actually closer to He Sizhao's tone.
After seeing Xiaoxue's reaction to Jiang Chuyi, he let go of his last bit of guard and formally accepted her.
Seeing Jiang Chuyi still looking at him hesitantly, Su Mo pursed his lips and smiled.
I have to say that his appearance is really deceptive. It's a pity that Jiang Chuyi never judges people based on their appearance.
Jiang Chuyi lowered her head and gently touched the lop-eared rabbit's head with her slender fingers: "Do you believe him?"
The lop-eared rabbit seemed to understand what she said. It struggled, turned around and jumped. Jiang Chuyi did not dare to restrain it forcefully. She let it kick its hind legs and jump back into Su Mo's arms.
"Good boy." Su Mo petted it and looked at Jiang Chuyi with a smile, "Do you believe me now?"
Jiang Chuyi stared at the lop-eared rabbit for a while, then returned to his indifferent expression.
The aggression in her eyes also disappeared.
Su Mo was still smiling, completely unaware that he had just returned from the gates of hell.
"What are you doing here?"
A familiar voice came, and the two turned their heads and saw He Sizhao standing next to them. He didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes looked a little strange.
The author has something to say:
