The huge eagle landed directly in front of the car and folded its wings.
Xia Lunong then realized that there were people on the eagle's back, and there were more than one people. They were three teenagers in their teens, who were tied tightly to the eagle with cloth strips. They were shivering in the heavy rain, and their lips were blue.
Xia Lunong looked at the teenagers, and then at the giant eagle. Suddenly, she felt that the eagle was not scary at all.
Not only Xia Lunong saw it, but Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu also saw it.
The two were startled. Yan Xinian opened the car door and walked into the heavy rain. After getting out of the car, he knocked on the car wall and shouted, "Baniu, come out and help."
"Okay!" Ba Niu had been waiting in the car for a long time. When he heard him shout, he lifted the tarpaulin and ran out quickly. When he saw this scene, he was also startled.
Xia Huoqu put the kitten on the chair and whispered, "I'll go down to help, you stay here and don't move."
Xia Lunong stepped on the seat with his four cat paws, and his eyes showed curiosity. He also wanted to go down.
His brother was quick and held his back in time, "What can you do to help? You will only cause trouble if you go. It's a critical moment, so you should be good."
Xia Maomao had to tilt his head with regret and reluctantly agreed.
The eagle stood not far from the windshield, and a pair of yellow-bottomed black eyes looked at him quietly.
Xia Lunong realized that the eagle was not very big after folding its wings. It was probably a beast of the same level as his brother in the past.
The cat and the eagle looked at each other. Xia Maomao didn't know why, but he suddenly called out to the eagle, "Meow."
The eagle narrowed his eyes, looked at him for a moment, and also called out, "Jie——"
Xia Maomao was frightened by the call and almost exploded. He arched his back and stared at the eagle, "Meow?!"
The eagle called out loudly.
Baniu had already rushed to the eagle. When he heard the call, he covered his ears and muttered something.
The rain was too loud, so Xia Lunong didn't hear it.
Xia Lunong thought the other party was provoking him. He looked at the other party's huge beast shape, then looked down at his small body, and shrank his head in fear, retracted his front paws, stopped stepping on the instrument stand, and didn't look at the eagle.
The next moment, a dozen birds swooped down from the sky.
These should be human-like beasts, with various body shapes and categories, most of which were birds of the same level as the wild geese that Luo Congqin transformed into.
A few large birds also had people sitting on their backs.
Xia Lunong then realized that the eagle was not trying to scare him on purpose, but was calling its companions.
Xia Maomao quietly popped up again and looked at the eagle's companions.
The eagle's companions looked very tired, especially since it was raining heavily outside. The birds' feathers were wet and clump together, making them look very miserable, especially with their panicked eyes, looking worse than a chicken in the water.
One of the big swallows turned into a skinny middle-aged man on the spot. He took out a pair of trousers from the bag he had been carrying and put them on, and started chatting with Yan Xinian.
Xia Maomao pricked up his ears and tried his best to listen, but he couldn't hear clearly.
His attention soon turned to the eagle again.
The two boys and one girl on the eagle's back had been put down. He was the bird-beast man who carried the most people on his back
. Even if the boys and girls he carried were still young, one would weigh at least 60 or 70 kilograms, and three of them would weigh more than 200 kilograms. This guy actually flew for so long in the rainy night with more than 200 kilograms of people on his back. Xia Lunong admired him a little.
After Yan Xinian and his men were busy for a while, they placed the seven rescued teenagers in the car.
The remaining ornithological people were determined not to get in the car, fearing that it would be a burden to them, so Yan Xinian did not force them.
After the teenagers got in, except for the driver and Xia Lunong who could not yet recover her human form, all the adults had to get out of the car, either on foot or by flying.
The truck was already loaded with parts of the generator set and rice, and it really could not carry so many people.
Yan Xinian also gave the opportunity to drive to Xia Huoqu, and turned himself into a white tiger, running behind the car.
Xia Huoqu did not refuse him at this juncture, and quickly got in the car.
The other beastmen or ornithological people followed.
"Meow." Xia Lunong saw that the eagle ran forward a few steps, and in the process of flying again, its huge right wing seemed to tilt, and it tilted its head and called to his brother.
Xia Huoqu stared at the front with a calm expression, and said, "Sit still and help me observe."
"Meow!" Xia the cat was instantly distracted, and he straightened his chest. His two furry front paws stepped onto the instrument panel again, and he looked outside intently.
The heavy rain lasted all night, and it gradually stopped when it was completely light the next day. It was not known whether the rain really stopped or because the car had left the area.
Xia Huoqu found an abandoned basketball court and parked the car.
The car needed to be refueled, and the people needed to be repaired. After almost a day and a night of hard work, he could not continue.
After the car stopped, the teenagers in the car moved the pot down from the car under the guidance of Liao Quannan and Ba Niu, picked up some wood that was not too wet from the nearby ruins, and made a fire with great difficulty to boil mutton soup.
Ba Niu even put a bag of rice in the big pot.
After running for so long, meat alone is not enough, and you have to eat some carbohydrates.
Even if you can start a fire with wet firewood, the fire is not big.
There is a thick smoke coming out from under the pot. When the wind blows, the whole stadium is filled with smoke, which is very suffocating.
But no one cares. Instead, the smoke brings the taste of life, making people realize very clearly that they are still alive and did not die in the earthquake last night.
The rain stopped, but the abandoned basketball court was full of water.
Water also accumulated on the weeds and vines on the court. No one could find a dry place to sit, so they could only use anything they could to cushion their buttocks. It
was too tiring.
Everyone was too tired to care.
This group of strange bird-beast people all turned back into human form.
They had to hurry on their way, so they didn't have any equipment, just put on their pants.
Xia Lunong looked at them curiously, and his eyes fell on a young man in the middle.
He never thought that the biggest eagle was actually a young beast!
The boy was still thin, with smooth muscles. When he sat with a hunched back, you could see his protruding spine.
The boy had a very outstanding face, but because his eyebrows were too cold, he seemed a little world-weary.
After he turned back into human form, he mixed in with the crowd and said nothing. He
just sat there quietly, as if he was waiting for breakfast, or as if he was in a daze.
Xia Maomao poked his head out.
His brother picked him up, put him on his lap, rubbed his head, and said, "Be quiet."
"Meow." Xia Maomao rubbed his brother, and then lay on his brother's lap obediently, listening to this group of strange bird-beastmen talk about what happened last night.
The leader of the bird-beastmen was named Zhang Shihai, a thin middle-aged man.
He said that because most of the people in their team could fly, they lived on the cliffs before the earthquake, and usually made a living by collecting supplies from the ruins all around, so their life was pretty good.
If there hadn't been this big earthquake, they would have to wait at least one or two years before considering leaving to find another place to stay.
Yan Xinian frowned, "If you were on the cliffs, the earthquake shouldn't have had much impact on you?"
"The earthquake alone really didn't have much impact on us, but we live too close to the sea." Zhang Shihai smiled bitterly, "When the earthquake happened, it wasn't completely dark yet. We were flying high in the sky and saw the sea water retreating dozens of meters - this situation must have been a huge tsunami, and we had to run."
Yan Xinian didn't expect to hear such news, and his face was shocked, "You flew out... "Has the tsunami already happened when we came here?"
Zhang Shihai shook his head, "How could we dare to stay here? Seeing this situation, I immediately packed up my things and flew inland. It took me several hours to see you, and then we rushed here together. We are so far away, and I don't know the specific situation, but it should have happened."
After saying this, he wiped his face, looked tired, shook his head, and said nothing more.
Yan Xinian also fell silent.
The seaside had long been a ruin, and whether a tsunami had occurred had little to do with them.
Yan Xinian asked: "Where do you want to go next? Do you have a specific destination, or do you just want to find a safe place to stay?"
"Let's find a safe place to stay first, and then fly inland. I heard that the country launched a fire plan in times of great disasters, and people in the surrounding bases also said that they had heard about this plan when they received radio signals. We want to go and take a look."
Zhang Shihai looked at the teenagers who were cooking and sighed: "There are children in the team, and we have to find a way out for them."
Yan Xinian nodded, but didn't say anything.
Xia Huoqu thought he would invite these people, so he looked up and glanced at him.
Xia Lunong didn't notice the interaction between his brothers, and his mind was all on the situation introduced by Zhang Shihai.
He fell into a deep sleep when the disaster happened. After waking up, he has been in the base and has not come across other bases. He thought that everyone has gone their own way. Unexpectedly, there is a fire plan in the far inland.
His emerald eyes were full of curiosity, and he poked his head to look at Zhang Shihai for several times.
Zhang Shihai did not notice the little cat poking its head out, but the indifferent boy turned his head and looked at him without blinking.
Xia Maomao looked at this guy and reflexively wanted to retract his head.
Just as he retracted his gaze, he suddenly saw a purple bruise on the right side of this guy's ribs, spreading from the armpit to the waist and arm, all concentrated on the side of the body. He couldn't see it clearly with his hand blocking it, and no one offered to help deal with it.
