Before he had experienced a headache, Xia Lunong never thought that a simple headache could make a person so uncomfortable.

He was completely limp, curled up on Kong Zhi's legs, whimpering in extreme discomfort, his emerald eyes full of water, looking at his brother and Kong Zhi, which made people feel soft-hearted.

Kong Zhi had been gently smoothing his fur, lowering his head and looking at him seriously, his black pupils were very calm, as if he wanted to give him strength.

Xia Lunong felt his fur being smoothed down again and again, as if he was being massaged.

Especially Kong Zhi's fingers were long, warm and cool, rubbing them on his body, there was a tingling feeling.

Xia Mao Mao rubbed his head against the hand and made a "Woo-" sound from his mouth.

Smoothing his fur did make him feel better, but it was still not enough. He hoped for a stronger massage.

Xia Huoqu listened to his whimpering in the driver's seat with an unpleasant look on his face. He said in a deep voice, "Hold on a little longer. We still have two hours to get to the base. When we get back to the base, we'll ask Doctor Ou to take a look at you."

"Woo--" Xia Maomao rested his chin on Kong Zhi's legs and swung his tail weakly.

Two hours is a long time.

Seeing him like this, Kong Zhi suddenly said, "I'll play a song for you."

Xia Maomao raised his head, with confusion in his wet cat eyes.

Kong Zhi took out a black box from the backpack under the seat without any explanation.

Xia Maomao poked his head out, took a few steps forward, and took a closer look at the things in the box.

There were several pieces of silver metal tubes in the box. Kong

Zhi took the tubes and put them together, quickly making a flute that looked a little strange. Kong

Zhi stroked the cat again, held the flute with both hands, put the mouthpiece to his lips, tested the sound, and then began to play.

As soon as the air flow was sent into the flute tube, clear sounds flowed out, and the notes seemed to have wings, flowing in the car.

Xia Maomao's paws froze for a moment, and he looked up at Kong Zhi with his cat face.

The beautiful and peaceful melody seemed to penetrate into his heart, and he felt for the first time that pure music was so beautiful.

It was not only Xia Lunong who was shocked by Kong Zhi, but Xia Huoqu and others were also shocked, and the teenagers in the car fight quieted down.

A feeling of tranquility spread, and everyone seemed to be immersed in the music.

Xia Lunong listened to the music, and her headache was relieved without her knowing when.

The cat's paws were fondly hooked on Kong Zhi's clothes, and he soon closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The truck drove forward accompanied by the music.

Maybe because the music was particularly peaceful, Xia Huoqu didn't drive so fast, and the truck moved forward steadily.

Kong Zhi's playing never stopped, and Xia Lunong fell asleep on his legs, with her furry little belly rising and falling, which was very cute.

He didn't wake up until they returned to the base.

Xia Huoqu carried him out of the car and looked around the base.

There were both a major earthquake and a tsunami in the past two days, and the buildings in the base were severely damaged, especially the Great Wall on the surrounding mountaintops, which collapsed in several sections.

They discovered this when they drove back.

Chai Ziming, who came out to greet them, saw that his eyes fell on the mountain, and said, "We are rushing to repair it. It will be repaired the day after tomorrow at the latest. We have arranged people to patrol it."

Yan Xinian asked in a deep voice, "Everything happened, right?"

"It's nothing serious. Dozens of mutant snakes and other small mutant beasts sneaked into the base on the night of the earthquake. Thanks to everyone staying up all night, no serious consequences were caused."

Chai Ziming explained, "We have been rushing to repair the Great Wall and check for safety hazards these two days. We have been busy until now, and have not had time to organize people to go out and rescue you. We originally wanted to arrange it tomorrow, but fortunately you came back in time."

Chai Ziming's eyes were a little red as he spoke. They really couldn't spare any manpower for search and rescue these two days, and they felt very guilty.

Yan Xinian patted his shoulder and said, "It's good enough that you can guard the base."

Chai Ziming looked more guilty when he heard him say that.

After Yan Xinian inquired about the situation of the base, he introduced Zhang Shihai and others and asked Chai Ziming to arrange for them to stay first.

There were still many empty houses in the base, and Zhang Shihai and others squeezed together and could barely stay.

Kong Zhi was originally going to follow Zhang Shihai and others, but the cat in his arms had its claws hooked on his sleeves and was sleeping soundly, so Xia Huoqu asked Kong Zhi to go back with them.

Before going back, Xia Huoqu took his brother to Dr. Ou for treatment.

There were many injured people in the base these days, and Dr. Ou was overwhelmed and was so busy that he had dark circles under his eyes.

After carefully checking Xia Lunong's condition, she said to Xia Huoqu, "He's in good condition, but his supernatural power has been overdrawn. I'll treat him and he'll be fine in a few days."

Xia Huoqu nodded and asked, "He still can't turn back to human form. Is there any way to treat him?"

"No need for treatment. According to my experience, it will take him a few days to turn back to human form. Don't worry."

Doctor Ou looked at Xia Lunong and added, "Xia Lunong's body is too weak. It's not easy to transform into a beast. He can't turn back to human form now. It should be the result of his own adjustment. We shouldn't force things."

Xia Huoqu showed a relieved expression and nodded, "I know. Please, Doctor Ou."

"You're welcome. It's my duty." Doctor Ou injected several groups of superpowers into Xia Lunong. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked, "How have you been outside these days?"

"Thanks to Xiao Nong's warning, we didn't really encounter any danger. We even met partners from other bases."

Xia Huoqu took Xia Maomao from Kong Zhi's arms, put his hand on Kong Zhi's shoulder and pushed him. "This child is from another base. Doctor Ou, please help him take a look. He seems to be injured on the right side of his body."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Kong Zhi's eyes widened slightly. Just as he was about to refuse, Doctor Ou had already pulled him back, "Let me take a look."

The healing ability moved around Kong Zhi's body. Before he could say anything, Doctor Ou frowned and said to Xia Huoqu sternly, "Two ribs are broken."

Xia Huoqu thought that he had only suffered a bruise on his side, but he didn't expect it to be broken. He looked at him for a second longer.

He didn't expect him to be so patient.

Kong Zhi himself didn't expect this result, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

After the examination, Doctor Ou pressed him and said, "Raise your right hand, sit still and don't move. I will treat you first."

Doctor Ou looked very serious.

Kong Zhi had no choice but to stop talking, raised his right hand, and silently relaxed his body, allowing Doctor Ou to inject healing energy into his ribs.

The cool energy swirled around his wound, and soon his wound was completely pain-free.

Doctor Ou withdrew his hand, pinched his eyebrows, and said, "Young man, don't treat injuries inappropriately. The energy I injected into you will stimulate the repair of your wound, but it will not heal in one or two days. It will take at least a week to recover. Try not to touch it during these days."

Kong Zhi nodded.

Doctor Ou turned to Xia Huoqu and said, "The children you brought here should be taken care of regularly! "

Xia Huoqu held the cat and said, "I know. Is there anything else you want to take care of

?" "No, go back and have a rest. If you feel uncomfortable tomorrow, come back to me."

Xia Huoqu held the cat and led the people home.

The building quality of their house was not bad. The two earthquakes did not cause much damage to the house. Only some fragile things such as pots and pans were broken.

After checking inside and outside the house, Xia Huoqu carried the cat into the room and took out some clean clothes. "I don't have any clothes that I haven't worn before, but they are all washed. You can put them on."

Kong Zhi pursed his lips, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I haven't thanked you yet."

Xia Huoqu pushed him, "You tidy up first. I'll boil some water. Take a shower and go to bed early. By the way, you live in this room. This room used to be Xiaonong's. The bedding is relatively clean. Now he lives in my room. He doesn't need it for the time being. You can stay here at ease."

Kong Zhi nodded and was pushed into the room by Xia Huoqu.

The room had a faint wood fragrance, very light. The window was open, and the outside was covered with gauze. The evening breeze blew in, constantly refreshing the breath inside.

There was nothing in the room, just a table and a cabinet. There was a bed against the wall, covered with a straw mat and a set of light blue bedding.

The bedding was very dry and gave off a faint fragrance.

The room was indeed very clean, so clean that it didn't look like a boy's room.

There was firewood and water at home, so Xia Huoqu quickly boiled the water and told Kong Zhi to take a shower. "You can use the shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom, but there are no new towels. You can use the thick spare towels. If you are not used to it, you don't have to use them."

Xia Huoqu was not a talkative person, but he explained everything to Kong Zhi clearly, as if he was talking to another younger brother.

Kong Zhi nodded gratefully, took a shower, washed his hair, changed into clean clothes, went out to brush his teeth, and was rushed to the room by Xia Huoqu to sleep.

Kong Zhi opened his backpack.

When the earthquake struck, they were in a hurry to escape and did not pack much. His backpack contained his most important items.

He took out a notebook and pen from his backpack, leaned against the head of the bed, and began to write a diary in the dim moonlight outside.

After writing, he lay down, turned the pillow over, and fell asleep quickly with his back as a pillow.

This was the best and most peaceful sleep he had ever had since the disaster. It was rare that he was not awakened by a nightmare, probably because the breath on the bed was so refreshing.

When Kong Zhi got up the next morning, the sun was already high in the sky.

He looked out through the screen window. There were blue sky and white clouds outside, and the breeze was gentle. It was a rare good day.

He got up and folded the quilt, put on Xia Lunong's slippers, opened the door and walked out, and saw Xia Huoqu in the living room.

Xia Huoqu's fingers were flying, and she was weaving a backpack skillfully.

Seeing him come out, Xia Huoqu raised her chin slightly, looked at the lunch boxes on the table, and said, "The breakfast on the table is from the cafeteria. No one has time to cook these two days, so you can just eat it together."

Kong Zhi said, "Thank you, Brother Huoqu."

Xia Huoqu smiled lightly and retracted his gaze.

Kong Zhi went to the bathroom to get a cup and toothbrush to wash up. When he passed by, the door of Xia Huoqu's room was not closed. He glanced at it from the side and saw the sleek big cat lying on the quilt with its legs spread out, and its body twisted into an arc that would make people's waists ache.

After washing up, the cat showed no signs of waking up, but Xia Huoqu didn't care and just urged Kong Zhi to eat breakfast. Kong Zhi

walked over without saying a word, opened the lunch box, and found that the contents of each lunch box were divided - cabbage, sweet potatoes, rice balls, and a small spoonful of dried radish.

He took one of the lunch boxes and started eating.

Xia Huoqu was sitting on a low stool next to the sofa, concentrating on weaving a backpack.

The two of them were in the same room, without chatting, nor did they feel uncomfortable.

Soon, Kong Zhi finished eating and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Xia Huoqu didn't stop him, but waited for him to come back and asked him, "Are you interested in staying in our base?"
