Green Beauty and Clouded Leopard were both members of the Star-Moon City Zoo before.
After the virus broke out, plants mutated, and Dongcheng became the first place to fall. Countless mutated plants and animals grew wildly, and various conflicts arose when animals that were natural enemies met. It was at that time that Green Beauty and Clouded Leopard escaped from the zoo.
"Ah, ah~" (I don't know why I'm so small. I can't even compare to the stray cats on the street. It's hard to find mice to eat. From time to time, I get attacked by flocks of birds flying down from the sky. All I can eat every day are frogs and insects. Wow, wow, wow~~ Baby, daddy can't afford to raise you anymore. Wow, wow~~ Daddy is so useless~~)
The clouded leopard looked at Xia Runrun, tears dropping down his face. He whimpered pitifully, and used his chubby little paws to wipe the tears from his eyes from time to time.
The green peacock next to her was staring at Xia Runrun, but he showed a rather disgusted expression.
A face full of questions: Why are my cubs so ugly? Ah! My cubs don't even have beautiful feathers? How could such ugly cubs have grown up without being taken away by stray cats?!
Xia Ruanruan: "..."
Xia Ruanruan felt a little regretful for meddling in other people's business and asking the narcissistic green-feathered bird to stay.
Five minutes ago, after she stopped the clouded leopards from hunting, she subconsciously wanted these two little guys, who obviously had poor survival abilities, to go back to Xingyue University with her.
But she didn't expect that the green-feathered peacock was so disdainful of her appearance.
Xia Ruanruan: "..."
Xia Ruanruan silently turned her head towards the clouded leopard, wrapped her arms around its neck, and stroked its soft fur while comforting it, "Don't worry, I don't need you to hunt for prey to feed me... You're small and eat little. When we get back to the sanctuary, I'll treat you to fish."
The little girl's voice was so soft and tender that the clouded leopard was immediately moved to tears. "Ah, woo ...
The clouded leopard rubbed its big head against the little girl's palm, and its round eyes were almost filled with love for Xia Ruanruan.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp!” (Ah! I almost forgot about Meimei after being here with you, an ugly little thing!)
The green peacock looked at the man and the leopard in front of him, and shook his tail feathers with a look of sourness on his face. However, it was this shake that made his whole body shudder suddenly, and he suddenly remembered his family. The bird's eyes widened, and he suddenly let out a long cry, flapping his wings quickly and running in the direction he ran away.
Xia Runrun was stunned and subconsciously wanted to chase after it, but she remembered the purpose of her visit this time, and looked at the clouded leopard who was hooking her arm with his furry claws and had no strength to run. She frowned and decided to focus on the sewage treatment equipment first.
But in order to prevent other mutant animals from attacking the clouded leopard during this period, and to prevent Lu Meili from not being able to find her after returning with her family, Xia Runrun thought for a moment and waved to Lightning next to her, asking Lightning to stay here to protect the clouded leopard. She and Dahei and the others continued to go to the central hospital, and then go back to school together when they came back.
Lightning was suddenly poked: "......??!!"
The mutant dog was over 4 meters tall, taller than two floors. When it looked down at Xia Runrun, it was like a giant looking at a small ant. Although Lightning was not very happy, he finally wagged his tail and agreed to Xia Runrun's proposal.
Seeing this, the little girl gave the clouded leopard a few words of advice in a sweet voice, then turned over and climbed onto Dahei's back again, braving the wind and snow to rush to the front...
…
On the other side now.
Green Beauty flapped its wings quickly, trying to head in the direction it came from, looking for its family. As it was about to reach the place where it had separated from its family, the green peacock stared at the grass in front of it without blinking.
"Rustle...rustle..."
The densely packed grass, only two or three people high, blocked its view, but the rustling sound it heard was clearly the sound of claws scratching the ground on branches and leaves.
Lu Meili's eyes suddenly sparkled.
Ah! Here! Its ugly, small, troublesome, stupid cubs, as expected, there is no, there is, there is something… something…???
“Crash!——”
Before Lu Meili could get into the weeds, a huge golden claw suddenly emerged from the grass. Its tall, slender legs, its sharp claws that shone like gold, its bright red feathers, its golden crest... and its body that was clearly several times taller than Lu Meili...
Lu Meili: "..."
Lu Meili: “???!!!!”
Where did this colorful bird, with its golden-red body, long tail feathers, head held high, and body standing 2.5 meters tall, come from? And why did it emerge from the bushes where its family was hiding?
Looking at the mutant bird that was more than twice as tall as herself, and then looking at the golden and red interwoven all over its body, which was particularly dazzling and beautiful walking in the snow, Green Beauty, who had always been extremely confident in her appearance, felt sick all over.
The most important thing is...!
It actually watched the female peacock that had been going in and out with it yesterday morning, with six little peacocks, following closely behind the big golden-red bird, calling "Dad, Dad" as they followed.
The little peacock's voice is sharp and soft, with a hint of milk.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp~" (What's your name? Your feathers are so beautiful. I've never seen a bird as beautiful as you. Chirp~)
cried the female peacock.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp~" (Dad, Dad, wait for us~ Dad, you're walking too fast~ Dad, your golden-red feathers are so beautiful~)
Six little peacocks followed suit.
Lu Meili: “…”
Damn it!!!
How could this mutant bird, stained crimson and resembling a burning charcoal ball, be so pretty?!
Golden Pheasant: "Chirp~" (Wow! This green-feathered chicken looks pretty weird.)
Lu Meili: “??!!!!”
…
Sewage treatment room at the back door of the central hospital.
Dozens of men, each holding a disassembly tool, worked hard to remove the components of the sewage treatment equipment one by one. The remaining seven or eight men, including Wu Wenhua and Liu Gaofeng, all held weapons and stared nervously outside the door crack, fearing that the crows would fly over the sky, discover their whereabouts, and call their friends to attack them.
"How are you doing? How long will it take to disassemble these components?" Wu Wenhua asked in a low voice, holding his weapon nervously.
They were very lucky this time, as the snowstorm forced the group of carrion crows that usually ran out every day to stay in their nests, with the exception of a few that flew out to look for food.
Therefore, after Wu Wenhua discovered this situation, he immediately changed his original plan and had all the mutant dogs hide in an abandoned shopping mall next to the central hospital. The thirty or forty of his men disguised themselves, tiptoed into the hospital, pried open the door of the sewage treatment room, crawled in, and dismantled it directly.
"It'll probably take another 20 minutes. These components are difficult to remove, and some of the screws are rusted..." A middle-aged man, bundled up in a black down jacket, responded in a low voice. It was a freezing winter day with heavy snow, but he was sweating profusely, desperate to speed up and avoid making too much noise that would attract carrion crows.
no way……
Who could blame it? The snowstorm that had been raging outside the house for the past half hour was now getting smaller and smaller, and was about to stop.
Unlike squirrels, carrion crows do not have the habit of storing food and need to go out hunting for food every day. Once the snowstorm stops, the carrion crows in the hospital will definitely come out in full force!
There were thousands of these carrion crows! Even if there were only 300 or 40 of them, they wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat them.
"Click, click..." The middle-aged man's hands dismantled the package faster and faster, and the sweat on his palms almost soaked the wrench.
“Crack! —Crack!”
He finally uninstalled the sewage treatment plant's engine.
With only their manpower available, and in order not to alert the crows, they had no choice but to dismantle the entire sewage treatment plant into pieces, stuff them into their backpacks and take them out.
"Okay, only 10 more minutes!" The middle-aged man didn't care about the dirt on his body, and finally a satisfied arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hurry up and take these things apart and pack them tightly into your backpacks first." Wu Wenhua was delighted and hurriedly urged them upon seeing this.
Judging from the speed they are moving, they might have already dismantled the sewage treatment plant before the snow has stopped outside.
“Ka-ka-ka—”
As the last important part was removed, the group packed and tied up the sewage treatment plant. Wu Wenhua saw that there was no one outside the house, so he took the lead and rushed out of the hospital with his weapon.
As long as they leave the hospital!
As long as they meet up with the mutant dogs, they can leave the central hospital safely immediately!
But as the hospital gate was just ahead, a large bird with pitch-black feathers suddenly swooped down from a tree on the roof of the hospital's inpatient building, flapping its wings. It seemed to be going out in the blizzard to look for food. However, before it found any food, it saw thirty or forty sneaky figures in its own tribe's territory.
This is like stirring up a hornet's nest!
The big bird's eyes suddenly widened and it screamed loudly.
"Quack, quack, quack! (Come on, bird! Come on, bird! There are actually a group of two-legged beasts who dare to intrude into our territory! How dare they! Come on, bird! Peck them!)
The rough and fierce voice of the carrion crow was like a thunder in the quiet snowy day, suddenly striking the hearts of many carrion crows who were taking a nap.
“Clatter!—”
The carrion crows suddenly opened their scarlet eyes, flapped their wings vigorously, and turned into black streaks of light, diving down towards Wu Wenhua and his group!
"Oops!"
When Wu Wenhua heard the sound, his face changed drastically. Without even turning his head, he shouted at the people behind him, "Hurry, hurry, run! Everyone, run!"
"Run, run! Those carrion crows are chasing us!!"
The others followed suit and ran away.
However……
Even though they sped up, the group of carrion crows following closely behind them were like vicious wolves chasing them relentlessly, catching up with them in an instant and surrounding them.
"Boss Wu can't make it anymore, he can't make it anymore! Ah!——"
"The carrion crows are coming, get ready for battle!"
There were exclamations and roars. The thirty or forty men seemed to have seen their miserable future. Some of them even let out angry and desperate roars.
…
When Xia Runrun arrived with the pack of mutant dogs, what she saw was a chaotic battle between eight large mutant dogs and thirty or forty survivors and a large group of carrion crows.
The carnage crows pecked and scratched at the survivors. It was obvious that the carnage crows were far inferior to the mutant dogs and survivors in terms of size, but this group of carnage crows seemed to be accustomed to fighting in groups. In addition, the number of crows was huge, which was far beyond the reach of the dozens of survivors and mutant dogs and cats. For a while, the carnage crows clearly had the upper hand.
His clothes were torn, his arms were injured and bleeding, and many crows were bitten by mutant dogs. Although other carrion crows came to rescue him immediately, the battle between the two sides had already intensified.
Xia Runrun could no longer sit still, so she patted Dahei's back and gave orders to the mutant dogs.
"Hurry up and stop them! Try not to hurt any of the carrion crows!"
Following Xia Ruanruan's command, more than eighty mutant dogs rushed in at once. The little girl took out a loud speaker from the small backpack on her back and shouted to the crowd and flock of birds, "Stop, stop quickly."
The Crow Boss, whose eyes were red from fighting, said: "Ga...?"
Why did it seem like it heard the voice of the familiar little cub from a few days ago?
Boss Crow subconsciously turned his head and looked back in the direction of the sound.
Oh no!
Isn't that little cub standing on the mutant dog the one it met in the abandoned supermarket? Look at that white, tender, chubby little cub with alopecia, so ugly and cute, but still looks so adorable.
"Quack! Quack! Quack!"
“Ga ga ga! Ga ga~!”
More and more crows heard Xia Runrun's voice, stopped what they were doing, flapped their wings and flew into the air, tilting their heads to look at the little girl.
Huh? ~!
This kid looks so familiar~!
Did it just fall out of their nest?
Before the crows could figure it out, they saw Xia Runrun coming to rescue Wu Wenhua with a group of mutant dogs and burst into tears. The 1.9-meter-tall and strong man was crying with tears and snot.
"Woo woo woo! Little Boss, I knew you would come to save us, woo woo woo~"
"Woooooo! Little Boss, you saved our lives! I'm so touched... Wooooooo, hiccup!"
The other thirty or forty men around also followed Wu Wenhua and turned their eyes to Xia Runrun and the countless mutant dogs around them.
The tall mutant dogs were like solid walls, surrounding them and giving them a sense of security.
Among these mutant dogs, there are some familiar ones and some they have never seen before.
Thirty or forty men looked at each other in bewilderment, their hearts racing. Boss Wu hadn't lied to them! Given the size of this pack of mutant dogs, even if the leader was a little girl, their shelter was safe enough!
Allow them to find a safe place to live in this chaotic city!
