Kong Zhi was stunned when he heard Xia Huoqu's invitation.

After a moment of silence, Kong Zhi asked, "Can Brother Zhang and the others stay in the base as well?"

Xia Huoqu said without hesitation, "Of course, our Yan team should have already invited them to stay in the base. But whether they will stay or not depends on their intention."

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

"Meow——"

While the two were chatting, Xia Lunong woke up, jumped out of bed, and walked out with light steps and wagging her tail.

Xia Huoqu looked down at him, stretched out his hand to touch his chin, "Morning."

"Meow." Good morning, brother.

Xia Lunong came over and rubbed his brother's leg, then greeted another person in the room, "Meow." Kong

Zhi looked at this cat beastman who looked no different from a real cat, his expression was a little subtle, but he still spoke in a low voice, "Good morning."

Xia Huoqu put down the things in his hands, took Xia Lunong to brush his teeth, and prepared breakfast for him.

Kong Zhi had nothing to do, so he followed them silently to help.

Xia Huoqu glanced at him and said to him, "I'm very busy today. Can I leave Xiao Lunong to you?"

Kong Zhi didn't expect to receive such a task. He was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

Xia Huoqu was really relieved about him. He gave them a few instructions and quickly packed up and went out.

There was only one person and one cat left at home.

The man sat on the sofa, in a daze from time to time, and seemed to be worried.

The cat was concentrating on eating, taking a bite and then dropping half of it. The sweet potato moved from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left. The cat's mouth opened and closed. After eating for a long time, there was still the same mouthful of food in its mouth.

The cat's teeth were indeed not very good. What dragged down the efficiency even more was that Xia Lunong didn't like this morning's breakfast at all. He ate so little only to swallow it reluctantly for his brother's sake.

Kong Zhi's attention was quickly attracted by him. Watching him eat breakfast was like watching a food show.

This cat not only ate very slowly, but also had an unusually vivid expression, which was very entertaining.

After waiting for him to finish his breakfast, Kong Zhi cleaned up the table, sat on the chair and looked him in the eye, asking for his opinion, "What are we going to do later?"

Xia Mao Mao tilted his head and thought for a while, then "meowed" at Kong Zhi and scratched on the table with his paws: "Can we take a walk around the base? " Kong

Zhi had good eyesight and took in all the words he wrote. After a brief thought, he nodded, "Okay."

Xia Mao Mao meowed sweetly at him again and rubbed him with her furry head happily.

Kong Zhi didn't know how this guy was so skilled at being a cat, and acting cute seemed to be instinctive.

Even thinking so, the cat's head came up, Kong Zhi still stroked the cat's head gently, and couldn't help but hook the cat's chin, and then stroked from the cat's head to the cat's back.

The soft and smooth hair under his hands brought an excellent touch. Kong Zhi stroked it again and again, without realizing it at all. He was very happy to stroke the cat, and at this time, there was a smile in his eyes.

After packing up, Kong Zhi carried Xia Lunong out.

The light was too bad last night, and only the shadows could be seen. Looking again today, both the man and the cat found that the impact of the two major earthquakes on the base was actually quite large.

Many houses in the base collapsed, and more houses had cracks. After going out, there were people everywhere who were urgently repairing their houses.

In addition to the houses, many large trees in the base were also turned over, and the dense roots were like hair, rolling up the soil and falling on the roadside.

When they passed by, the people in the base were propping up these trees and replanting them.

It was fine at the foot of the mountain, but several sections of the Great Wall on the mountain had collapsed, and they are still being repaired.

When Kong Zhi brought Xia Lunong up, everyone was working hard.

Many people in the base saw Kong Zhi holding Xia Maomao and greeted him warmly. Kong Zhi looked

at the smiling faces of strangers and nodded uncomfortably. The people who greeted him didn't mind his silence and kept smiling.

One section of the Great Wall was repaired by Liao Quannan. Seeing them coming, Liao Quannan smiled at them and the two sides greeted each other.

Kong Zhi put Xia Maomao aside and went to help.

Liao Quannan stretched out his hand to hold him and said to him, "You take a rest. Deputy Captain Xia said you are injured. Let's talk after you recover."

Kong Zhi's eyes were full of surprise, "He said that?"

Liao Quannan nodded, "He mentioned it to us and asked us to keep an eye on you and not let you do any heavy work."

Kong Zhi turned to look at Xia Lunong.

Xia Maomao didn't care what they were talking about. He was already standing at the edge of the Great Wall, with his front paws forward, his head raised and his chest puffed out, his tail raised, and he was staring into the distance with great concentration.

Kong Zhi's mind was instantly attracted to him.

Liao Quannan also saw it and patted him on the shoulder, "You take Xiao Nong to play, we'll get to work first."

Kong Zhi nodded.

Liao Quannan shouted, and took his men to carry bricks and mix cement.

Kong Zhi looked over to Xia Lunong's side, and when he stood next to him, he realized that he could see the vast ocean from his angle.

It's not that he can only see a piece of sea water, but he can see the entire sea surface, from the distant foot of the mountain to the horizon, the whole area is sea water.

If you don't know that the place was fertile land the day before yesterday, no one can imagine that there are human remains under the sea.

The earthquake and tsunami changed the landform so obviously, and the transformation from the vast sea to the mulberry fields only took a moment. The tsunami

has been gone for nearly a day, and the sea has calmed down. The color has changed from the previous gray-yellow to gray-blue. I'm afraid that in a few days, it will turn completely blue - if the water level does not drop.

"Meow——" The cat turned its head and looked up at Kong Zhi, its request very obvious.

Kong Zhi was attracted by the cat's cry and looked down at the cat.

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Xia Maomao was about to write with his front paws to explain, but he suddenly reached out and picked up Xia Maomao.

Xia Maomao rubbed him with satisfaction and continued to look down on his chest.

Kong Zhi was tall, and Xia Maomao's vision was much wider with him on his chest.

The grass and trees in the wild became a mess due to the destruction of the earthquake. Many trees were turned over, and there was sliding soil at the foot of the mountain.

It rained heavily after the earthquake, and the fallen trees were moistened by the rain, and their branches and leaves were still green.

The disaster did not have much impact on them, at least compared with humans and animals, plants are much more tenacious.

They stayed on the top of the mountain for a long time, until the sun rose very high, Kong Zhi took Xia Maomao down.

When they returned home, Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian had not returned yet, and the two doors were locked.

There was no one at home, but someone was waiting for them in the yard.

The man picked up something and put it in the yard. Several baskets filled the open space in the yard.

There was a shoulder pole between the baskets, and the man was sitting on the pole, waiting for them to come back boredly.

Xia Lunong had good eyesight and recognized the person at a glance.

It was Liao Cheng.

Seeing Kong Zhi coming back with the cat, he waved to them and said, "Xiao Nong, the paddy you brought back last night has been milled into rice. The base asked us to send it over. Please come over and take over."

"Meow?"

Liao Cheng saw that he was confused and couldn't guess what he wanted to ask, so he explained, "The paddy you brought back was soaked in water and infested with worms. It can't be kept for a long time. The base dried it and then milled it into rice."

Xia Lunong jumped down from Kong Zhi's arms lightly, put her two front paws on the basket, and leaned over with her round cat head to carefully check the condition of the rice.

The rice in the base is all brown rice. It is not as clean and white as the rice bought in the supermarket before the disaster. It is generally a color of yellow, green and gray, and it smells very fragrant.

Liao Cheng waited for him to finish the inspection before saying, "According to the distribution method of this material search, you brothers and Captain Yan will get a total of 465 kilograms of rice and 80 kilograms of rice bran. It's all here. Do you want to weigh it again?"

Xia Maomao shook his head decisively.

Liao Cheng smiled, "Then open the door, I will help you carry the rice in?"

Xia Maomao turned his head, and his pair of emerald eyes like glass balls looked straight at Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi looked at him for two seconds, silently took out the key from his trouser pocket, and went forward to open the door.

Liao Cheng picked up the basket and carried the rice into the living room.

Kong Zhi wanted to help but was stopped by Liao Cheng with one hand, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, I can do it."

Kong Zhi was silent and wanted to go forward again, but Liao Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Xia told me that if you help, I might get scolded later."

Kong Zhi had no choice but to go over and pour him some water.

Xia Mao Mao followed Liao Cheng's feet. Liao Cheng carefully watched his feet to avoid stepping on him. "Xiao Nong, you have been in the beast form for many days. When will you change back?"

"Meow."

"You don't know either. Have you asked Doctor Ou? But I think it should be soon whether you ask or not. I don't know when you can change back completely."

Liao Cheng picked up the rice in a few seconds. After Xia Lunong finished accepting it and signed the receipt, he took out the plastic bag of cigarettes and paper from his pants pocket and rolled a cigarette for himself.

He held it in his mouth without smoking, and told Xia Lunong and the others what happened in the past few days.

A big earthquake, a tsunami that almost flooded the base, collapsed houses and trees, injured people - a lot of things happened in the base in the past few days.

Xia Lunong listened attentively.

Liao Cheng said: "These two earthquakes were so big, and there were tsunamis. Everyone was very anxious, especially you are still outside. I am ready. If you don't come back today, I will go out to look for you no matter what. Fortunately, you came back in time."

Xia Maomao shook her head, "Meow."

Danger.

Liao Cheng looked far away and sighed, "We also know it's dangerous, but we have to go no matter how dangerous it is. Captain Yan and your brother are the backbone of the base. If you were not here, even if we could survive this earthquake, we wouldn't be able to survive the next one. Fortunately, you are back."

Xia Lunong "meowed" at him again, scratching his trousers with her claws, and her voice was full of comfort.
