Xia Runrun would definitely not accept the food that the owl brought to her.
Even though the other party flapped its wings and actively expressed that what it carried back was its own and it was its own wish to give it to the cub, Xia Runrun still firmly rejected the other party's kindness.
These are the supplies that Old Man Yan brought back from the survival base after braving the heavy snow to trade with the survivors in the shelter.
Old Man Yan was old, and couldn't match the youth. He couldn't trek through the city in search of supplies like most young people did. But he had Gugu, the mutant owl, with him, so naturally, he wouldn't go hungry.
As a flying mutant beast, Gugu takes Old Man Yan to travel between the shelter and the official survival base once every quarter. The supplies he brings back are enough for the old man and the owl to live well in this shelter. The owl itself even goes out hunting frequently.
Compared to Yang Fan who brought his parents with him, it can be said that Old Man Yan's life alone in the shelter is the most carefree.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept these supplies~~" The soft and baby-like voice was like the sweetness of marshmallows buried in the heart. The little girl tilted her head back and looked at the big owl with a serious face to say thank you. She was well-behaved, polite and cute.
“Gugugugu…” (Do you dislike the things that Gugugu brought back?…)
The owl lowered its head in frustration, even the white feathers on its head seeming to dim at that moment. The owl chick that I had hatched actually despised the things I had given it. QAQ~ It, it was such a failure...
The owl's eyes were red, as if tears would burst out at any second, and he would turn into a hard-to-coax crybaby again.
Xia Ruanruan's scalp tightened, and she quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "No, no... Gugu, don't cry~ I don't want to see you working so hard running back and forth between the survival base and the shelter... There's a lot of dried meat in this package. Gugu has been working too hard, and he needs some nourishment~ Otherwise, I'll be worried~"
"Gugu, you've eaten well, and you're healthy. You're happy every day... This makes me happier than if I had eaten the dried meat myself~ So Gugu, don't cry~~ A beautiful owl needs to be happy every day to maintain its beauty~~" The little girl kept spouting nice words, trying to fire off as many sweet-coated bullets as possible in the shortest time to anesthetize the big owl next to her.
Gugu was hit in the head, chest, and heart by a sugar-coated bullet.
Woo woo woo~~
The big owl's eyes sparkled with emotion, and the tears that were about to overflow from his eyes were instantly withdrawn. He walked around the room happily with his long legs, and a cheerful cry came from his throat.
Yang Fan and his companions thought that if the owl in front of them only had wings but no hands, they suspected that the owl might excitedly pick up the little girl, throw her into the air, hug her tightly and kiss her twice.
Yang Fan: “…”
Yang Fan gave Xia Ruanruan a look that was difficult to describe.
The other survivors were also dumbfounded at this moment, and several of their eyes were about to pop out. With this attitude and speed of flattering, it was no wonder that the girl was able to subdue four mutant animals in one breath. No one could stop her!
At this moment...
Several survivors who caught the inspiration suddenly felt that the reason they couldn't find mutant animals as pets in the past was probably because they didn't flatter enough or their skills were not deep enough.
Later...how about...they try it too?
Xia Runruan looked at the owl that no longer insisted on delivering the package to her, took two deep breaths like a little adult, and let out a long sigh of relief. At that time, Xia Runruan had no idea that she had brought all the survivors into the deep trench of the Mariana Trench.
“Gugugugugu…” (You, you are so nice~ Gugugu, I especially like you…)
The big owl happily shook its feathers, nuzzled Xia's little head affectionately, and used its beak to tidy her hair. As if using its beak wasn't enough to express its affection for the little cutie, the big owl took two steps forward and buried her in its feathers.
"Let's go! Let's go home quickly. Look at you, you bird, you're so sleepy that you can hardly open your eyes... You should go home and sleep."
Seeing this, Old Man Yan's eyes nearly blushed with envy. His face darkened, and he simmered in jealousy as he dragged Gugu along, struggling to walk out, attempting to numb his sour, astringent attitude. This little white-eyed hawk, whom he had painstakingly raised for years and had been with since the outbreak, was no match for a young girl he had just met. Gugu hadn't even cut his hair yet! This was infuriating! ! ! !
Xia Runrun touched her nose awkwardly, not knowing how to explain her position in Owl's mind. In fact, it was quite different from what Old Man Yan thought.
She just came to the infirmary to check her temperature, but unexpectedly it took nearly an hour. Looking at the back of Old Man Yan leaving, Xia Runrun slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then left the infirmary under the envious and complicated eyes of Yang Fan and others.
I went back to the room and closed the door. I looked at Egg Yolk sleeping in the room, then squatted down and looked down at the little white cat following him.
"Xiaobai, you must never learn to cry like Gugu in the future, okay? Although you also have white hair, you are a boy. Boys should stand tall and upright, sweat and bleed but not cry~~" The little girl touched Xiaobai's furry head with her chubby little hands and gave him careful instructions.
She is so small and yet she has to coax such a big crying baby. It's really difficult for her.
noob:"……"
Xiaobai looked at Xia Runrun with an indescribable look. Doesn’t this kid know that the owl is a male?
Speaking of which, among the mutant animals in the entire shelter, only the Husky named Pork Belly and the police dog Dahei are female, and the rest are all male.
The little white cat shook its ears and pretended not to understand what the little girl was saying.
"Xiaobai... why are you silent again? Can't you meow? Why do you always keep silent when you see me?" Xia Runrun's mouth felt bitter, and she looked at Xiaobai with some resentment. She didn't need to look at the picture book to know that Xiaobai still didn't trust her very much and his heart was closed.
Maybe it was because the injury it suffered a few days ago was too serious. After being bullied by those three guys, it was very alert. Even though it was saved because of her special physique and was willing to stay by her side, it was not willing to completely let go of the grudge from the past.
But this won’t work... She is always unwilling to communicate with me and always stays like a cat in the corner. What should I do if she gets depression?
The little girl was worried and it showed on her face. She decided to talk to Xiaobai more while she was not sleepy.
The little girl held the cat in her arms with two small hands. She sat on a small stool, and her chubby hands grabbed the cat's two front paws, making it stand on its hind legs so that its eyes were level with hers. "Xiaobai, why don't you let me teach you how to speak? It doesn't matter if you can't speak, but I can. I'll teach you, okay? Look at my mouth and say it with me... meow meow~ meow meow~~"
noob:"……"
Xia Ruanruan: "Meow~~" (The weather is so nice today~)
noob:"……"
Xia Ruanruan: “Meow~~” (Xiaobai is so cute~)
noob:"……"
"Meow~" (Xiaobai, come and learn to talk with your sister~)
“…”
"Meow meow~" (Come and say, Mommy~)
“…”
Ten minutes later...
"Xiaobai, why are you so stupid?" The little girl was panting and frowning, almost doubting her life.
If Xia Ruanruan had not heard Xiaobai's cry before, she would have suspected that the cat's ability to meow was an illusion. A cat that couldn't even speak cat language, she could still forcefully explain that this cat might have been a cat from another place, had never come into contact with other cats, and had poor spoken pronunciation, so she couldn't understand what Xiaobai said.
But why is it that when I teach Xiaobai to speak cat language, Xiaobai doesn’t meow?
The little girl put the little white cat down, held her chubby little chin with her two chubby hands, and fell into a vortex of self-doubt for a long time.
noob:"……"
Chu Hang sighed inwardly. Even though the world has become chaotic now, the child in front of him still maintains his innocent childlike heart. This is actually quite good.
The body seemed to instinctively not want the little girl to show a lost expression, so the little white cat stretched out its front paws and scratched Xia Ruanruan's arm. Seeing her looking at it, the little white cat raised its head and called out expressionlessly.
"Meow."
Although the cat's meow was not loud, it was extremely standard and serious.
Xiaobai looked at the little girl. She should be satisfied now, right?
Xia Ruanruan: “……???!!!”
She had clearly learned cat talk before, even helping the mother cat raise the kittens and teaching them to talk. So why was Xiaobai so grown up? After all this time studying, he still couldn't utter a single meaningful cat talk?! What's the difference between this meaningless meow and a hiccup?!
The little girl was extremely sad and angry at this moment. She suspected that her cat was pretending not to speak in order to make fun of her! And she had evidence.
The little eyes of condemnation glanced at Xiaobai, trying to make the cat change its mind with their eyes.
noob:"……"
Xiaobai was completely bewildered. Hadn't he just learned to meow like a cat? Why was this little girl still not satisfied?
…
Unable to teach Xiaobai to speak, nor could she understand what Xiaobai was saying, Xia Runrun was deeply shocked. She was listless all afternoon, wrapped in a small quilt and crawled to sleep next to Danhuang. As a cat, Danhuang needed to sleep for a long time every day, especially in this cold weather. With the support of Fu Gougou, cats hated running around even more.
Feeling some movement around her, Danhuang didn't even bat an eyelid, but held Xia Ruanruan in his arms. The little girl dove directly into the warm and furry natural quilt, buried her face deeply in the cat fur, and turned her grief and anger into sleepiness. She wanted to seek comfort from Danhuang for the blow she suffered from Xiaobai.
The white cat had no idea how much damage the little girl was feeling at the moment. Seeing the man and the cat sleeping, he shook his tail, stood up and walked out the door.
The plan cannot be interrupted, he needs to carefully observe everyone in the entire shelter.
The shelter leaders seem to be kind and fair, and the survivors are kind despite having some small thoughts. Is it possible that there are no unstable factors in such a big shelter?
A little girl who was innocent, simple, and a bit naive, he needed to observe the entire shelter carefully.
Sometimes human hearts are more terrifying than wild beasts.
…
But at this moment.
In an underground water pipe two or three miles away from the Xinghai Refuge, a group of gray-skinned rats, each about the size of a small dog before their mutation, leaped and barked in the sewer, their eyes flashing crimson.
No one wants to go to the dark sewers, but they are a gathering place for rats.
One of them was a slightly smaller mutant rat covered in black fur. It stood on several big rats, waving its claws and looking aggressive.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (Little ones! Pick up your courage and bravery, tonight we must take revenge on that hateful owl!)
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (It is the public enemy of all the rats in our neighborhood! It has captured 362 of our brothers and sisters over the years!)
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (Revenge, revenge, revenge!)
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (Revenge, revenge, revenge!)
Following the cry of the black-haired rat, the remaining hundreds of mutant rats all roared angrily.
However, among the rats, there was a little rat that scratched its head, looked a little confused, and called out hesitantly twice.
"Squeak, squeak?" (But, but... Your Majesty, that owl is so powerful, can we really be its opponent?)
Even though there were so many mice, the owl could fly. If they couldn't catch the owl, what good would their revenge be? The little mouse was puzzled.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (Don't worry! The sixteenth daughter of the eighty-seventh grandson of my second uncle's third aunt's twenty-fifth cousin lives in the sewers of the east shelter! Their family heard a piece of information a few days ago!)
The black-haired mouse waved its claws aggressively, looking very domineering.
The group of mice below listened attentively with their eyes wide open.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (Tonight at twelve o'clock! The human shelter to the east will gather all the survivors and mutant dogs to attack this shelter. Then we can take advantage of the situation and catch them off guard!)
"Squeak, squeak, squeak?" (The shelter to the east? Is that the one with thirty or forty mutant dogs?)
The little mouse who asked the question was obviously an experienced mouse, and he immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Squeak!" (Yes, that shelter!)
The black mouse narrowed its eyes and squeaked.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (Then, not only can we steal all the winter supplies in this shelter, but we can also take the opportunity to take revenge on the owl! So this time we will definitely succeed!)
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (Success, success, success!)
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (Success, success, success!)
When the groups of mutant rats in the sewers heard the black-skinned rat's words, their eyes lit up and they nodded in agreement.
The black mouse nodded. "If you don't succeed, you will die!" A person's enemy is his friend. With the help of the eastern shelter.
This time, it would definitely make that owl receive the punishment it deserved! It would also take away all the supplies during the battle, leaving those damned humans with no winter supplies and freezing them to death!
