The two brothers looked at each other in silence.

Xia Lunong meowed guiltily and shrank his head.

He hadn't thought that the transformation could go in this direction.

Xia Huoqu stared at him for a long time, and finally rubbed his belly, which had become particularly soft and thick due to his growth, and said thoughtfully: "It's good like this, it looks much stronger."

The kitten that was just a small ball in his hand before was cute, but it was indeed not as reassuring as the soft and fluffy big cat now.

"Meow." The cat squinted its eyes, and its two front paws covered with long white hair gently rested on his arm.

Xia Lunong lay on his brother's lap, and his brother rubbed him so much that the whole cat moved around.

The indescribable strength in his body was used up, and the irritability in his heart eased a little, but it did not disappear completely.

The wind stopped at some point, leaving only the stuffiness.

Xia Lunong gradually felt that all the hair formed a big net, which made him uncomfortable.

"Meow." The kitten rubbed his head against his brother's arm, and his big emerald eyes were full of water. He felt very uncomfortable.

Xia Huoqu met his brother's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Meow." The kitten kicked its two hind legs and lay on his brother's legs, limp and powerless.

He had a very bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't tell where this bad premonition came from.

Xia Huoqu was also irritable. He couldn't tell whether this irritation had been suppressed in his heart from the beginning, or was triggered by Xia Lunong's situation.

He stroked his brother's soft and smooth fur on his back again and again, his face so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out. He

didn't know when the sky changed from azure blue to thousands of miles of yellow clouds.

It was clearly not yet dusk.

Xia Huoqu had an unspeakable fear in his heart.

He suddenly picked up the cat in his arms, gently covered the cat's ears, turned around and roared at the mountain with all his might: "Yan Xinian——"

A huge roar squeezed out of his chest, spreading out layer by layer, and echoing back layer by layer.

The people who were dismantling the generator sets on the mountain were also irritated, and almost everyone had wrinkles on their brows.

Baniu and Conglian had already had a quarrel over something insignificant, and their faces became more tense. From time to time, one could see Baniu's clenched teeth on the side of his cheek.

Hearing Xia Huoqu's shout, everyone was shocked.

Yan Xinian put down the tools in his hands without hesitation and ran out. He stood in the open space outside with his hands clasped to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, "What's wrong——?"

"Have you dismantled it——? Get down the mountain——!!!"

Xia Huoqu shouted with all his strength, feeling that his chest was about to burst, and there was a faint taste of blood in his mouth.

Yan Xinian turned his head and looked at the ruins behind him.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, holding wrenches and pliers and looking at him. The sky behind them was also yellow and frightening.

The whole world had an ominous feeling.

Yan Xinian's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly he shouted, "Everyone hold on tight, there might be an earthquake coming!"

Everyone's face was filled with shock.

Luo Congqi stammered as he looked at the generator set that was almost being dismantled, and then looked at the sky, "Impossible?"

Yan Xinian shouted, "Nothing is impossible, hurry up!"

Everyone didn't dare to dawdle, and immediately buried their heads in hard work.

Baniu wiped the sweat off his wrinkled shirt, squeezed through the bushes, and got to the front to dismantle it.

Yan Xinian turned his head and headed down the mountain, shouting at the top of his lungs: "An earthquake may be coming, Huo Qu, be careful."

His eyes almost bulged out from shouting.

He wiped his face, turned around with a wrench in his hand, and returned to the cooling unit of the generator set. He asked Luo Congqin to move aside, and then he began to dismantle the cooling unit at a faster speed. While dismantling, he ordered: "Quannan, take Conglan and Congqin and carry the turbine and generator down the mountain."

Liao Quannan immediately responded: "Yes!"

He took the lead in carrying the dismantled turbine, and with a flushed face, he shouted to Conglan and Luo Congqin: "Hurry!"

Conglan and Luo Congqin ran over nervously, and the two of them ran down carrying the generator parts.

The speed of going down the mountain was much faster than going up the mountain. In a few minutes, the three of them reached the bottom of the mountain.

Xia Huoqu came up quickly with a backpack stuffed with cats on his back to help Liao Quannan, "Where are Xi Nian and the others?!"

"They are still disassembling the cooling part and the magnetizing part. They will be done soon." Liao Quannan asked with heavy breathing, "Where is Xiao Nong?"

"He is not feeling well. He fell asleep in the backpack." Xia Huoqu said quickly, "First load these parts into the car, and then we will go up the mountain to meet them."

Liao Quannan and the other two quickly agreed.

They drove a larger truck specially for this trip. The parts were loaded into the truck. The truck was empty and there was no place to fix them.

If it were normal, they could slowly use straw, branches, etc. to slowly pack and fix the more sophisticated instruments.

It's too late today.

Xia Huoqu looked at the truck and his eyebrows jumped. He suddenly said, "No! Let's not go up the mountain yet. Let's go load rice and use it as a buffer!"

Conglan was the first to react. "Okay!"

He took Liao Quannan and Luo Congqin to the truck.

Xia Huoqu called Luo Congqin, "Xiao Luo, you immediately turn into a wild goose and fly to the sky to circle and keep watch! Go!"

Luo Congqin said "Hey", and before he could even get into the truck, he quickly took off his clothes and threw them into it, turned into a wild goose and flew up in a circle with his wings spread.

Xia Huoqu dived into the cockpit, put his backpack in front, took out the key and started the truck.

The truck "boomed" and drove towards the granary.

The road here was too difficult to drive on. The truck was driving crookedly. Liao Quannan and Congren had to use all their strength to fix the parts that were shaking in the truck.

Soon, the truck drove to the vicinity of the granary.

Xia Huoqu carefully put the backpack on his chest on the driver's seat, took off his T-shirt and said quickly: "I will use the beast form, and you use the human form, help assist."

"Yes!"

As soon as Xia Huoqu finished speaking, he had already turned into a giant wolf.

Liao Quannan and Conglian took the rope and basket and jumped up.

The two of them ran to the granary in two or three steps. The white wolf had already swept the stones on the granary cover with one claw and opened the granary cover.

The two of them jumped into the granary with the basket without hesitation and quickly filled the basket with food.

The white wolf carried the basket tied with ropes to the carriage, tilted it and lifted it, pouring the food into the carriage, and then brought the basket back.

The two of them and the wolf cooperated tacitly, and in less than five minutes, they emptied the entire granary.

The back of the truck was loaded with nearly half a meter of golden food.

Liao Quannan and Cong Lin were exhausted and climbed into the truck to breathe heavily.

The tiny awns on the rice grains attached to their skin, making their skin covered with mud. The sweat flowed through them, bringing a painful and itchy touch.

The giant wolf was also panting. He ran to the driver's seat without hesitation, quickly changed back to human form, put on his pants, sat on the driver's seat, started the truck and drove to the foot of the mountain.

The truck was much heavier, and the instruments inside were no longer rattled by the falling, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The sky was getting yellower and yellower, and the sunset was no longer visible.

Xia Huoqu stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the foot of the mountain. He shouted to Luo Congqin in the sky, "Look after my brother!"

"Ga——" Dayan responded seriously.

Xia Huoqu immediately changed into a wolf and ran up the mountain.

Liao Quannan and Conglian grabbed the rope and followed closely.

The two people and the wolf reached the mountain. Yan Xinian and Ba Niu were nervously dismantling the last brake device, and the other parts were put aside.

Seeing the giant wolf, Yan Xinian breathed a sigh of relief, "There is only one last bit left." The

giant wolf nodded to him without greeting, and asked Liao Quannan and Conglian to come over and tie the parts to his back, and then ran down the mountain immediately.

After several trips back and forth, blood was faintly visible on the giant wolf's back.

The brake device on Yan Xinian and Ba Niu's side was finally dismantled.

Yan Xinian, regardless of fatigue, transformed into a giant tiger and rushed down the mountain with the parts on his back.

The weight of all the parts and rice was not too heavy. Baniu got on the driver's seat and took a look, then shouted, "Quick, quick, change back to human form, let's go back to the base."

Everyone said nothing, jumped into the truck, and lay down in the truck, swaying with the shaking of the truck.

Before getting on the truck, Xia Huoqu had already brought his brother back from the co-pilot seat.

His brother was still in cat form, curled up in the backpack, and the whole cat was tightly curled up, as if he had fainted.

He checked it quickly and lightly. The cat's breathing was a little rapid, and his heartbeat was still stable, but the temperature of the paw pads was slightly high.

Xia Huoqu felt like his internal organs were burning, and an indescribable anxiety lingered around him the whole time.

Yan Xinian came over panting and gently scratched the cat's head, "Why has it grown so much?"

"I asked him to try to transform back into human form, and he grew that big." Xia Huoqu turned his attention away and exhaled deeply, "I'll ask Doctor Ou to check him out when we get back to the base."

Xia Huoqu had never seen a beast who could suddenly grow bigger after being transformed.

Yan Xinian leaned against him tiredly, "Humans won't be able to transform into beasts for long, Xiao Nong's situation may not be a bad thing, don't worry too much."

Xia Huoqu tried to suppress his anxiety, "Yeah."

The truck kept moving forward.

In order to avoid sudden earthquakes and landslides caused by earthquakes, Baniu took a detour instead of the way they came.

When they came, they drove along the mountain and passed by a section with a cliff on the side of the road. Now they must not go through those places.

This detour was a little further.

There was some compressed dry food in the car, but everyone had no appetite and had a quick meal at night.

The sun had already set, but the sky outside was still not dark. It was still the same earthy yellow color as if a sandstorm was coming.

Everyone was nervous and stared outside without blinking.

After an unknown amount of time, the cat on Xia Huoqu's lap suddenly whimpered, "Meow? Meow--"

"Xiao Nong?" Xia Huoqu lowered his head anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"Meow--" The cat staggered off his lap, holding the paper and pen he was using to write his diary, and scribbled a word: Zhen.

When he was halfway through writing, his brother recognized it.

It was the word for earthquake.

Xia Huoqu yelled, "Quick! Xiao Nong said there's going to be an earthquake! Stop the car and get ready!"

Baniu reacted quickly, and almost the moment he said that, he drove the car to the nearest open wasteland, and stopped the car with a "squeak".

Before the car came to a complete stop, there was a sudden rumbling sound outside, and the whole car began to shake.

It seemed as if there was something under the mud, pushing their car up and down, and soon, the up and down shaking turned into left and right shaking.

The shaking was so severe that everyone had to hold on to the car tightly and try to avoid the parts to avoid injury.

Yan Xinian didn't know when, but he grabbed Xia Huoqu's arm tightly, arched his back, and protected him to his side.

Xia Huoqu desperately protected the cat in his arms.

Everyone's ears were buzzing, and in the violent shaking, it seemed that their thoughts had stagnated.
