Without caring about the Egg Yolk Big Black who was attacking from the side, Chu Hang rushed towards Gao He in an instant, watching the laser shot out from the gun barrel and hit Xia Runrun's right arm, and more laser bullets flew out from the muzzle.
In a flash, Chu Hang's body suddenly turned into a huge white cat. Not only did it knock the controlled Egg Yolk and Dahei away, but it also stood between Xia Ruanruan and Gao He!
"Bang bang bang bang!——"
The laser bullet followed the white cat's swollen body and shot fiercely at the big white cat. The originally small wound became huge and hideous as the white cat grew in size. Blood kept flowing out of the wound. The pain spread to every nerve of Chu Hang. Even the original body sleeping in another dormitory building was trembling with pain and frowning.
"Bang!——"
The white cat had not yet completely transformed into a giant cat a hundred meters tall, but its huge claws had already slapped Gao He.
"No! No—"
A black shadow enveloped Gao He. This time, he only had time to look up before the laser gun fired three bullets. The roar of pain and despair was already blocked in his throat.
The huge cat claws directly knocked Gao He into the ground and crushed Gao He's body hard. The corpse turned into meat paste and blood plasma and melted on the hard cement floor.
The thick cement floor was dented by the force of the cat's paw.
“Clatter—”
Pieces of the house's roof fell off as the giant cat shook.
"I was so scared! I just thought I was going to be shot to death."
Things unfolded so quickly, and ended even faster. Xia Ruanruan patted her frightened self and breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, even the pain in her right arm, where the laser had struck her, didn't seem so severe. Blood was only now soaking her sleeve. Xia Ruanruan lifted her left hand, which had been wrapped like a dumpling, and pressed it tightly against the wound.
"Chu Hang, thank you... He should be dead this time. Please change back soon! Let me see if you are hurt... injured...?"
Xia Runrun grimaced in pain, but she looked up with joy, reporting to the giant cat with a happy face.
She originally thought that the giant cat would turn back into its original petite and cute cub appearance after hearing her voice, but Xia Runrun never expected that the white light would slightly wrap around the big white cat's body, and the big white cat's size would gradually shrink. However, this time it did not turn into a kitten, but turned into a human-like state with white hair.
White hair fluttered behind the man's head. A huge, round red hole was visible on his forehead, which had directly penetrated his head. Blood flowed down the man's fair cheeks, across his eyelashes and nose, and covered most of his handsome face.
"Chu, Chu Hang...?"
At this moment, Xia Runrun's eyelids were twitching, and anxiety quickly spread to every nerve ending in her body.
Waves of bitterness surged to her nose, and Xia Runrun's eyes suddenly turned red. Tears immediately seeped out of her eyes, one after another, running down her cheeks and falling into the ground, and also landing on Chu Hang's bloody cheek.
"Chu Hang, Chu Hang, how are you? Chu Hang... You won't die, right?... You said that even if this body disappears, your spiritual power will return to your original body. As long as you rest well, you won't die, right?"
"After you recover, I will listen to you, study hard, read history books carefully every day, learn politics, strive to become an excellent base commander, and lead the whole city to develop well, woooo." Ignoring the blood and dust on the other person's body, Xia Ruanruan hugged Chu Hang's body and cried very sadly.
She never expected that the bullet just now actually hit Xiaobai's head.
"Don't cry, it's okay... I just need to rest, I'll recover after resting..."
Chu Hang's voice was intermittent. He raised his hand to wipe away Xia Ruanruan's tears, but the blood on his fingers only made the little girl's face dirtier. Her bright eyes seemed to gradually dim at this moment, and his voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible. "After I recover, you must study hard in the future..."
Chu Hang didn't know why, but he felt that this time was a little different from every time his cat body dissipated. He paused and added slowly, "I can't recover, so you still have to study hard and develop the base city well..."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely study hard and develop the base well... Woohoo, I think you are a really, really good person, and so, so gentle! Don't believe what your parents and brother say, they are all lies. Egg Yolk, Big Black and the others like you very much too... Woohoo, and other people and mutant animals like you very much too. Someone even asked me a few days ago if you have a girlfriend... She wants to be your girlfriend..."
Xia Ruanruan: "I lied to her and said you had a girlfriend... because I also want to be your girlfriend. I really think you are very, very good, and I like you very, very much..."
"Woo, you will definitely wake up in another body like you said, right?"
"I will definitely wait for you to wake up!"
Tears covered her face, and Xia Ruanruan's mind went blank. She knew that although Chu Hang had two bodies, his spiritual power could only attach to one at a time. Xiaobai was the embodiment of his spiritual body, a mutant condensed from pure spiritual power. Therefore, even though Chu Hang had mentioned that if Xiaobai died from injury, the damaged spiritual power would return to his original body, Xia Ruanruan still worried that Chu Hang's spiritual power would completely dissipate with Xiaobai's disappearance, until his original body died.
She didn't understand why her mental energy could materialize and condense into a white cat, but when she thought about it, wasn't that something just a soul? How could a person's soul be severely damaged without being affected?
Since traveling through time to the present, Xia Runrun has seen Xiaobai seriously injured, but has never seen Xiaobai truly dead, and she does not want to see Xiaobai like this.
Especially this time, for some reason, her heartbeat was particularly violent, making her feel uneasy.
I always feel that the person in front of me will not wake up as easily as he said.
“Yes…”
His fingers gradually slipped as his strength faded. Before Chu Hang could finish his last word, his body had turned into a transparent white light and gradually disappeared into the air.
The noise made at Xia Runrun's residence was so loud that the surrounding patrol teams, the black and white bears, and the survivors living nearby all heard the noise. They all woke up and rushed here, dressed in their clothes.
When everyone arrived, they saw the collapsed and shattered house in a mess, and the four animals including Egg Yolk and Dahei lying unconscious on the ground.
"Base Commander, what happened? Did a fight just happen here?"
The patrol team was led by Yang Fan today. He was the first to arrive at the scene with his team members. Holding a flashlight in his hand, Yang Fan and others subconsciously explored the surrounding situation.
"They attacked the survival base during the day, and then launched a surprise attack at night." Xia Ruanruan pointed at the body on the ground, which had already turned into a pulp. "The body is right here. Take the undamaged cloak from him and hand it over to the research institute. Also, take the deformed laser gun on the ground..."
"Also... this person's corpse seems to be able to reanimate itself. I'm worried this flesh paste will resurrect again. Collect some of the scraps, place them in glass bottles, and send them to the research institute for study and care... Burn the rest. Only leave after the flesh paste has been completely reduced to ash and charcoal."
Xia Ruanruan gave Yang Fan and the patrol members earnest instructions, then brushed the ashes off her clothes, wiped her tear-stained cheeks, and composed herself. "I'm going to go find Secretary Chu first. Can you please ask the medical team to treat Egg Yolk and Dahei and the others? Their injuries aren't likely serious, but they still need some help and careful examination."
After Xia Runrun finished speaking, without waiting for Yang Fan and others to continue asking questions, she trotted away from the spot and ran quickly in the direction of Chu Hang's residence.
The patrol team members scratched their heads and looked in the direction where the base commander had left, somewhat puzzled.
"Isn't the base commander attacked? Why did he go to find Secretary-General Chu?" Someone scratched his head in confusion.
"I don't know, maybe the base commander needs to discuss something with Secretary Chu?" Although they didn't know why the base commander had to run to the secretary to discuss something, it was definitely better to talk less about the leader's affairs.
"The four of you follow the base commander and protect his safety. The rest of you come with me to deal with the corpses. Also, quickly call the hospital to notify them to send people to treat the injured mutant beasts." Yang Fan waved his hand, quickly asking everyone to give up the idea of discussion and get down to business.
"Yes! Captain!" The patrolman reacted and nodded immediately, running towards Xia Runrun.
They hadn't realized just now that the base commander had no mutant animals protecting him. How could they let him walk around alone? The base wasn't safe at the moment.
…
“Da da da—”
The sound of running footsteps rang out in the corridor. Xia Ruanruan took out the spare key that Chu Hang usually kept under the flowerpot and quickly opened the door.
In the dark room, moonlight quietly poured in from the window, illuminating the man's profile. His face was pale and bloodless, and his high nose bridge perfectly outlined his facial features. However, the dense beads of sweat on his forehead showed the pain he was in from the injury to his mental body.
"Chu Hang...?" Xia Runrun turned on the bedside lamp, wanting to see the other person's current condition.
It was just a white light, but it made Xia Runrun's tears fall.
If it were moonlight, she could still tell herself that the man's pale face was simply due to the moonlight's natural color. But now, under the bright incandescent light, he looked even more wan and pale than he had in the moonlight, as if all his energy had been drained away in an instant, even his lips had turned an extremely pale white.
The whole person looked like an autumn leaf about to wither, extremely weak and sick.
"Chu Hang...?"
"Chu Hang...wake up? Wake up..."
The choking sound, accompanied by a thick nasal tone, unconsciously climbed up Xia Runrun's throat. She pushed Chu Hang's arm, wanting to wake him up. She didn't ask for much, she just wanted to see this person open his eyes. As long as his eyelashes moved, she would be satisfied.
However, no matter how she called out or pushed, the man still lay motionless on the bed. If it weren't for the faint residual warmth of his body and the occasional beating of his pulse, Xia Runrun would almost think that the man in front of her was gone.
Xia Runrun's heart trembled slightly, and she felt that her uneasiness from the previous second seemed to come true here.
Xia Runrun pushed Chu Hang's arm, and the slender arm swayed unhindered with the push.
"Why are you different from what you agreed? ...Didn't you say you could wake up?"
"Why don't you wake up? You big liar!..."
"Please help me find a doctor. Go and find a doctor to see him."
"Doctor, please help me take a look. Why hasn't he woken up yet? How long will he have to sleep before he wakes up?!"
"What? A vegetative state! This is impossible!"
"He said he'd wake up, that he was just injured and needed to rest. He'd be awake soon... You people shouldn't just casually give people such horrific diagnoses! At least they should do a more detailed examination, at least be more rigorous. He clearly looked like he was just asleep, so how could he be in a vegetative state?"
On this day, countless people saw their usually cheerful base commander collapse.
Even more puzzling is the fact that the battle took place at the base commander's residence, so why had Secretary Chu suddenly become a vegetable? When medical personnel arrived, they discovered the mutant cat and dog, who usually accompanied the base commander, as well as the two mutant birds. However, they didn't find the little white cat, who usually slept at the base and the commander's home, occasionally waking up.
For a while, many people in the base were discussing the matter secretly, but no one dared to mention it to Xia Ruanruan.
Everyone speculated that this was the work of the invaders, but the base commander escaped, while Secretary Chu did not...
…
Just as the doctor said, since that day, Chu Hang lay motionless in bed, his face pale and bloodless. Apart from his weak breathing and heartbeat, it was almost impossible to tell that he was a living person.
The job of the base's secretary-general was replaced by a new female secretary who was once the CEO of a Fortune 100 company and had outstanding abilities.
"Base Commander, today the chiefs of Longquan Survival Base, Huanghai Base, and Xinmingchang Base have sent people to our base to discuss the purchase of fleshy-leaf bananas. The meeting will be at 4 pm tomorrow. Would you like to attend? If not, should we refuse the transaction or let the people from the Foreign Trade Department negotiate it?" Secretary Zeng was in his early forties, with long black hair tied into a ponytail neatly behind his head. He was wearing a gray business suit, looking both capable and smart.
"Leave this matter to the External Trade Department. I won't be attending. Tomorrow is Secretary Chu's monthly physical examination day, and I need to go."
Behind the desk, a pretty girl in her early twenties looked up from the files and said to Secretary Zeng, "And I remember tomorrow is Xiaojie's birthday, so Secretary Zeng should take some time off to go home and spend time with Xiaojie. As for the bananas, let someone else take care of them."
"Okay, Base Commander, I will hand this matter over to the head of the Foreign Trade Department." Secretary Zeng wrote down the work and did not plan to take a day off to spend time with his family tomorrow because of Xia Runrun's words.
Finding a safe base in a chaotic city is no easy feat. Secretary Zeng still remembers how miserable he was when the girl in front of him rescued him from the claws of the ferocious beast.
It took the other party only five years to turn a small shelter that could only accommodate 300 people into a large survival base with tens of millions of residents. Secretary Zeng felt an unconcealable pride in his benefactor and boss.
Today, the Zootopia Survival Base not only has 30 million residents, but also ordinary survivors and mutated animals get along very harmoniously. Stores, shopping malls, hospitals, police stations, schools, public libraries, research institutes, bus stations, etc., almost all the urban buildings and facilities that existed before the virus outbreak can be found here.
This year, someone even applied to set up an entertainment company to shoot a TV movie for Zootopia.
All of this was something Secretary Zeng had never thought of five years ago.
Although she hadn't visited other survival bases, Secretary Zeng believed that even those built by other countries couldn't develop into the peaceful and harmonious environment of their Zootopia survival base. Otherwise, why would other survival bases have sent people to learn animal language in recent months? This clearly indicated they were planning to establish a new survival base model similar to Zootopia.
"After you call them, you can go home today. I'm going to go home and rest too." Xia Runrun nodded to the secretary, put down the new '3-year plan and 5-year goals' schedule in her hand, picked up her backpack, and walked out of the base director's office.
Four armed bodyguards immediately followed behind him at the door to protect him on both sides.
The big orange cat, the big black dog, and the two mutant birds that were lying in the playground under the office building to bask in the sun moved their ears, shook their long fur, stood up, and followed Xia Ruanruan.
——Ding Dong!
——Test the host's city-building map——Xingyue City and surrounding areas, with a total area of 18,654 square kilometers: there are a total of 33,540,178 residents, of which 31,863,170 residents identify with the host, reaching a recognition rate of more than 95% among residents in the area, exceeding the resident recognition value!
——Achieve the achievement of "Happy Together All Over the World" and receive a base comprehensive score reward of 10.
——Congratulations to the host base city (five-star) for raising its overall score to 90.83 points.
——Congratulations to the host for the comprehensive score of the five-star base city exceeding 90, and the host has completed the illustration task - successfully building the "World's No. 1 Animal City".
——The host can choose to teleport back to the original world at any time.
——Host, do you want to start teleporting now?
——Yes or no?
As the familiar ding-dong sound rang in her ears, Xia Runrun subconsciously paused, her long and slender fingers clenched slightly, and the knuckles turned white.
"Meow?" (What happened to Ruanruan?)
The big orange cat tilted its head and looked at Xia Runrun, with a hint of worry in its eyes.
Dahei 666, Xiaolu and the other bodyguards around were also confused, and their eyes were all focused on Xia Runrun.
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that there is a document in the office that I need to come over to review tomorrow morning." Xia Runrun blinked and gave a bright smile to the people around her and the mutant beasts.
--no.
Xia Runrun has already made her choice in her heart.
She had promised Chu Hang that she would develop the survival base well.
The survival base had only just been established. How could she leave now? She had to wait until the people in the base city were settled and happy, and the survivors in other survival bases had learned the animal languages of various tribes and could get along well with all the mutant animals. Only then could she leave this world after a new base city lord was elected.
Besides...
Xia Runrun's steps were steady and firm. She wanted to wait for Chu Hang to wake up and see the current development of the Animal City Survival Base!
