Chapter 72 The little boy who talks to a cat

The two people in the middle of the conversation had no idea that someone had specifically looked for them.

"Is this the thing that Gu Hua was talking about?"

Gu Bingchen shook off the transparent mucus on his hands, and glanced at the mutated aloe plant twisting wildly on the ground with some disgust: "If Wanyue was here, the chances of catching this dead aloe plant alive would be greater."

Xie Er heard this and said lightly: "If you hadn't cut off its roots with a knife, it wouldn't have died."

Gu Bingchen was choked and speechless.

Long Yilan squatted on the ground. The aloe in front of her, which was half a person's height, stopped struggling and slowly lost its vitality. She took out a small dagger, cut a hole at the root, and collected the mucus that flowed out in a bottle one by one: "Xiaohuan said that it's okay if we don't capture it alive, as long as we collect the mucus as soon as possible."

Jiang Yunqi looked at the task list and said, "There is only one thing left."

"What else?"

Without water-related supernatural powers, it was more troublesome. Gu Bingchen put away a bottle of mineral water, wiped his hands, and came up. He glanced at the end of the list and saw something that was circled: "What the hell? Zombie blood?"

"You want a high-level zombie? Isn't there a zombie imprisoned in the basement? What else is needed? Is she researching a vaccine or something else?"

Xie Er knew some of the research details and explained in a few words: "According to the video footage of that day, she probably had some new ideas, and there are not enough experimental samples."

"I don't understand." Gu Bingchen shook his head, "While it's still early, let's move quickly so that we can go back for dinner. The weather is getting colder and colder, and I don't want to spend the night outside."

Long Yilan put away the bottles and jars, thought for a while, and put the roots of the aloe into the space button.

There are almost no high-level zombies within the range of the Chuyang base, and they need to look for them in a farther place.

In the forest, the girl jumped down from the tree nimbly, and with a slash of her knife, she quickly killed the zombies surrounding her one by one.

"No crystal core?" The girl's azure eyes flashed with doubt. These zombies were of high level. Logically, even if the crystal core in their heads was not big, it should be the size of a grain of rice.

Before the girl could think about it carefully, there was a 'rustling' sound in the grass behind her. She immediately turned around, holding her weapon tightly, and stared at the dense bushes with vigilance and caution.

"Xiao Mi! Why are you here?"

It was a little boy, holding a black kitten in his arms, with slightly curly hair, messy hair, and covered with dirt and leaves, as if he had rolled in the mud.

"Eh? Pretty sister!"

The little boy had baby fat on his fair cheeks, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and was dirty. He looked only five or six years old. The girl did not dare to underestimate anyone in Doomsday, including the cute little boy in front of her. She retreated quietly.

She did not ignore the little cat in the boy's arms. Its pair of light golden vertical pupils stared at her closely. As long as there was any movement, the girl had no doubt that the cat would rush up and bite her.

"Sister, did you kill all these zombies?" The little boy didn't notice the tense atmosphere. His big round eyes were as bright as stars and his soft voice was full of admiration. "When can I be so powerful?" "

Little friend, it's not safe here. You should go find your parents quickly."

A trace of tenderness flashed across the girl's azure eyes. She pursed her lips, took out a small bottle of Wangzai milk from her backpack and put it on the ground. Then, holding the sharp sickle, she rushed into the dense bushes without looking back.

"Xiao Mi, why did your sister leave?" The little boy squatted down, his watery eyes full of confusion, "My sister left me a bottle of milk, can I drink it?"

"Meow meow meow!"

The little boy lowered his head, a little disappointed: "No? Okay."

"Meow meow meow~"

"Xiao Mi, can you find me some Wangzai milk? That's great! Xiao Mi, you are awesome!"

The little boy held the little black cat high, and kissed the black cat on the head with a "smack".

"Meow meow meow!"

Hateful human cub!

The little black cat's eyes flashed with disdain, but it still lay obediently in the little boy's arms.

"Let's go, let's go back. We've been out for too long, our brothers and sisters will be angry."

"Meow meow meow!"

"I know, I won't tell them that I can understand what Xiao Mi says."

The little figure nimbly avoided the thorns on both sides of the road. The man and the cat didn't notice that after they left, three handsome brothers and a handsome sister appeared in the same place.

"That kid can talk to cats?" Gu Bingchen tilted his head, wondering what kind of supernatural power this was.

Xie Er bent down to check the corpses on the ground: "The heads are hollowed out, they were all killed in one blow. Judging from the traces, the weapon should be a sickle or something like that."

Jiang Yunqi: "Well, it seems we are a step too late. Let's keep going forward."

Long Yilan picked up the bottle of Wangzai milk, blinked, and asked: "Can I drink it? It tastes good."

Gu Bingchen: "What are you short of food? You want to drink the milk of a little kid?"

"I haven't drunk it! I'm just curious about the taste." Long Yilan said righteously, "Besides, it's not good to waste food!"

"You... I still have some in my space, I'll give you a few bottles, okay? Just pick up whatever you want to eat, you don't have to worry about it being poisonous." Gu Bingchen took out a row of boxes of Wangzai milk from the space unhappily, and the latter accepted them with a smile, gnashing his teeth.

"It's getting dark, it looks like we'll have to spend the night outside." Jiang Yunqi looked up and glanced at the gloomy sky.

Xie Er observed the terrain and said, "Let's go down, it's not safe to camp here."

The four of them discussed it, went back the same way, and drove to find a flat and open place.

On the other side, a woman with dishevelled hair was in a state of madness. She grabbed someone and asked, "Where is my little treasure?"

The girl she grabbed cried out in pain, pried the woman's fingers apart, and cursed, "Who knows where the child ran to! Let me go! Crazy woman!"

"Is it you? Did you lose my little treasure?" The woman spoke incoherently, and her mental state made people around her subconsciously stay away.

"Auntie, Yangyang is here."

In the crowd, a little boy jumped up and raised his hand. The crazy woman immediately rushed forward and hugged him tightly, as if she had found her lost treasure.

"Don't cry, Auntie." Yangyang stretched out his little hand and gently patted the crazy woman's back, his little voice mixed with heartache.

Two tears ran down the woman's cheeks, and her hoarse voice was tinged with fear: "Where did Xiaobao go? Mommy couldn't find you no matter what."

Yangyang lowered his head guiltily: "I... I went to find Xiao Mi."

The little black cat following the little boy slowly widened his eyes.

It was obviously the two-legged beast that was going out to find some herbs, so it followed it!

"Meow meow meow!" The little black cat loudly accused the human cub of lying.

It's a pity that the other two-legged beasts couldn't understand cat language. The only little boy who could understand it had to touch the kitten and made many promises in secret before he could comfort the angry kitten.

Oh, the adults asked him to coax the kitten, and he also had to coax the kitten.

He was so busy.

Helplessness flashed across Yangyang's lively eyes.

"Auntie, is this what you want?" Yangyang broke free from her arms and took out a herb from her pocket.

"Ah? How did it break?"

Looking at the wilted herb in her palm, Yangyang couldn't believe it, her eyes were red, tears rolled in her eyes, and her soft voice was filled with tears.

The herbs are fragile, and it is normal for the fragile leaves to be damaged when they are placed in the pocket, but the child has no idea. He only knows that the surprise he brought back with great effort was actually ruined by himself, so he feels sad and upset.

"Is this Xiaobao's surprise?" The woman smiled softly on her tear-stained face. She rubbed Yangyang's curly hair and comforted her, "Mom likes it very much."

"Really?" Yangyang burst into laughter, "Then I will find a better one for auntie next time!"

"Next time, bring mom with you. It's too dangerous outside."

The big and the small get along warmly and harmoniously, but you can tell something is wrong from the way they address each other.

"What's going on? Didn't this crazy woman's son die a long time ago?" The man who was speaking in a low voice was a thin and short man.

"This is a child she picked up on the way, and she insisted that it was her son." The girl who was first questioned by the woman while pinching her arm answered the man's question. A hint of disgust appeared between her eyebrows. "I hate children the most, and the captain still asked me to take care of him."

At this point, she remembered that the child had slipped away under her care, and her face turned pale.

"No, I won't tell you anymore. Anyway, keep an eye on the child and don't let him run around!"

The girl hurriedly ran to the captain to admit her mistake.

"Did a pig chew your brain? Even letting you look after a child can cause trouble!" The person who tapped the girl's forehead and scolded her was an acquaintance. Yuan Yu frowned, not expecting that it was her subordinates who made a mistake. She first asked the girl to accept the punishment, and then took Yang Yitong to apologize.

Yuan Yu felt guilty, and said seriously, "Ms. Peng, I'm sorry, it was my lack of management that caused Yangyang to get lost."

"I..."

Not lost.

The little black cat covered Yangyang's mouth with its paw, blocking the rest of his words.

Peng Keying stood up, tidied her messy hair, revealing a beautiful face, and her temperament changed drastically.

"Captain Yuan, if your team can't accommodate Xiaobao and me, we can go to the Chuyang base by ourselves." Peng Keying held Yangyang's hand, her tone calm and without any ups and downs.

Not to mention that this Peng Keying is Gu Hua's senior sister, her research results alone would not allow her to take risks with her child.

Yuan Yu hurriedly put forward her own ideas: "So, Ms. Peng, I will let Tongtong take you back first tomorrow morning, okay?"

Yang Yitong bent down and handed over a fruit candy. He said gently: "Yangyang, be good, brother will treat you to candy."

The young man's eyes were clear and bright, and his smile was brilliant and clean. Considering Xiaobao's safety, Peng Keying hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

"Who are you?!"

A noisy shout came from behind.
