Chapter 219 A Good Father Who Loves His Children
"Sister Lan, meet our new friend!"
As soon as they met, Xiao Li threw himself on Qiao Lan and cheered with joy.
"Sister, are you okay? Your clothes are dirty and torn, and there are scars on your face and hands. Did you get into danger? Are there any internal injuries?"
"No internal injuries, just a minor scrape, nothing serious. He went into the sewer."
Qiao Lan looked at the densely packed group of animals that stretched all the way to the distant streets, and was deeply shocked. "What's going on, Xiao Li? You said they were all our friends?"
"right!"
Xiao Li's face was radiant, and he laughed with his hands on his hips: "We are not afraid of any dangers that may come next. Look how many helpers we have now!"
"Don't tell me I haven't seen you in two days. You've trained and tamed all the mutant beasts outside the city..."
"No, no, sister, it's not my credit. This time we have to thank Dazhuang and Xiaohan! Wait a minute, they will be here soon."
More and more mutant beasts rushed here, and the nearby streets were full, so they extended to the next few streets.
Wolves, rabbits, mice, tits, hedgehogs, weasels, frogs, snakes...
Grasshoppers, ants, spiders, locusts...
Various birds, beasts and some insects are mixed together.
At first, Qiao Lan was on full alert, with his supernatural powers ready to go, worried that a mutant beast would suddenly attack, but he soon found that his worries were unnecessary.
Although the animals were howling and making a commotion, they were generally well-behaved and did not attack people or each other.
Do not attack Qiao Lan and his companions, nor attack other survivors hiding in the block.
Qiao Lan was surprised to see a group of wolves and a group of rabbits passing by each other, but it seemed as if no one saw each other. Even when a rabbit jumped over a wolf, the wolf didn't get angry.
She was also surprised to see many creatures that should have been hibernating, jumping around and showing no signs of sleep.
Mutation has changed the biological world...
The original rules of the biosphere seem to have become invalid, and the mutated creatures are reconnecting in new ways to form new world relationships, including humans.
So Qiao Lan, who was surprised again and again, was not so surprised anymore when she heard Xiao Li say that these mutant beasts all obeyed the orders of a very powerful black cat and followed the cat into the city - anything magical can happen in this magical world, and being constantly surprised is not good for the heart.
"Look, sister, that's the leader of the herd, Dazhuang and Xiaohan's daddy."
When a large, pitch-black cat appeared in the center of the herd, Xiao Li pointed at it from a distance and introduced it to Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan narrowed his eyes, which were specialized in firearms, and clearly saw the powerful black panther in the distance. Every muscle line on its limbs and back was so smooth and graceful as it walked, yet full of awe-inspiring power.
There are two balls of fur on its back, one big and one small. The big pure white one is Dazhuang, and the small black and white one is Xiaohan.
The brother and sister both stood majestically on the back of the black panther, their expressions so proud and complacent that even the usually silly Xiaohan had a bit of an air of looking down on the world.
Oh no, not the black panther. If it is really their daddy, then it should be a big cat.
Because the mutant is so large, it looks like a leopard or a tiger.
"Sister, you don't know. When we were surrounded by the beasts in the tree house, we were so scared that we thought we were doomed! Sister Wen even had a fight with the beast vanguard. It was so bloody, it broke my heart. Uncle Geng was brought back by the beast leader. He almost got killed, but luckily the leader didn't play with him and knocked him out with one claw."
"But he was holding onto two kitchen knives tightly while he was unconscious. After he woke up, he was furious and kept clamoring for a duel with the leader of the pack. We tried to persuade him for a long time, saying that the overall situation was more important and that we should kill the enemy first. Only then did he give up temporarily."
Xiao Li smiled and recounted the situation outside the city at that time.
As he was speaking, a big black cat came over with a son and a daughter on its back.
The animals parted to make way, just like the people guarding the royal family.
The big black cat walked up to Qiao Lan, and its height of nearly two meters made Qiao Lan have to look up at it.
Perhaps annoyed by the noise of the other beasts, it turned around and roared. It wasn't a normal cat meow, but a deep, powerful beastly roar. The noisy and chaotic mutant beasts filling the street quickly quieted down and returned to normal order.
The big black cat then looked down at Qiao Lan.
Its eyes are as blue as the deep sea, calm and majestic.
Meeting those eyes, Qiao Lan felt a compelling power. It wasn't a supernatural power, nor was it exerting pressure; it was simply the kingly aura it naturally exuded, evoking submission from the depths of one's soul.
"Um--"
The big black cat stared at Qiao Lan for a moment and made a low sound from deep in its throat.
"The chief said that he thanks Sister Lan for taking in and taking care of Da Zhuang and Xiao Han." Translator Xiao Li came online.
"Ah, then you don't have to thank me. It is the unique temperament of Prince Dazhuang and Princess Xiaohan that conquered me. It is my lifelong honor to take care of them for a period of time." Qiao Lan flattered them politely and cast respectful glances at them.
The big black cat nodded slightly.
The atmosphere of the meeting was serious yet harmonious.
“Meow!”
"Meow meow~~"
Suddenly, the prince and princess rushed out from behind their father, shouting, and jumped into Qiao Lan's arms without saying a word.
The smaller Hanhan squatted on Qiao Lan's shoulder and hugged Qiao Lan's round head affectionately with his front paws.
Da Zhuang, who was slightly bigger in stature, grabbed Qiao Lan's neck and forced her to hug him.
The two cats snuggled up to Qiao Lan, then looked at their father seriously and meowed again.
“…” Xiao Li stopped translating.
She didn't dare.
Because the two cats were introducing themselves to their dad, saying that this was their mommy.
Xiao Li felt that the big black cat was not particularly happy to hear this.
But the king's pressure that she was worried about did not come, because the two cats asked Qiao Lan for sausages and started eating them happily on the spot. Xiao Han even threw away the last two-centimeter-long piece of sausage, and then used his tail to tug at it neatly, just like playing badminton, and hit the piece of meat accurately into the mouth of the big black cat.
Big black cat: “…”
It subconsciously opened its mouth to receive its daughter's gift, and when it reacted, it had already swallowed it.
"Meow--" Xiaohan jumped to his daddy's feet, rubbed against him and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Specially saved for Dad!
The big black cat raised its huge paw, picked up Xiaohan, and purred gently in its throat.
When he looked at Qiao Lan again, his gaze was still intimidating, but with a lot more warmth.
A good father who loves his child. Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Thus, the meeting between the biological father and the adoptive mother suddenly changed from a formal and solemn one to a reunion of old friends. The black cat leader also informed Qiao Lan of his name: Black Cloud.
Qiao Lan: "Excuse me, Chief Black Cloud, are you really going to join the battle and help me this time when you bring your troops into the city?"
Heiyun: "Yes."
Qiao Lan: "The Earth Temple has a large force and possesses uncanny weapons. Although you have elite soldiers and generals, I'm afraid you will lose some experts. This... I'm worried. Actually, you don't have to be like this. I'm happy to take care of the prince and princess, and I don't expect any reward from you."
Heiyun: "No need to say more, just do it."
The beasts rushed towards the streets of the Temple of the Earth, like a torrent, like a huge wave, unstoppable.
