There was a big green-feathered parrot blocking the way, and then there was the incident with the big blue cat and Old Chen.
Whether it was Yang Fan and others, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, or the other survivors who were watching, they all believed that the reason why Xia Ruanruan was able to complete the advanced task in a short time was all due to this big green-feathered parrot that was proficient in "foreign languages".
to this end……
I don't know how many people envied little Xia Ruanruan, who owned a big green-feathered parrot, either openly or secretly. On that day, the legendary story about "Parrot·Sayuri·Amazon·Parrot" spread throughout the Longquan Survival Base. In the base's black market, all kinds of parrots except Amazon parrots also increased in value that day. Even the most common budgies quietly increased in value fivefold that night.
It’s a pity that there are not many mutant birds like parrots in the entire Longquan Survival Base, and many of them are of no value.
After Xia Runrun and his group completed their mission and received their points cards, they naturally wanted to take this opportunity to stroll around the Longquan Survival Base.
Since the base city is covered with dense high-voltage power grids, the Longquan Survival Base is still brightly lit even at night. However, in order to prevent unnecessary accidents, the night market and other activities are all held in indoor trading places.
Xia Runruan walked in the indoor trading place with a small schoolbag on her back. Although it was called a trading place, Xia Runruan felt that it was more like a simplified version of a department store. Various stalls were set up in the hall, ranging from food to clothes, from knives to guns. Xia Runruan even saw a lot of electronic products before the virus outbreak.
Old Man Yan and the others were eager to buy a lot of small things. Even Xia Ruanruan bought a lot of clothes because of her health. However, Xia Ruanruan was the only points card in her hand, and she had to use it to exchange other survival supplies at the trading base. Therefore, after buying only a few things, everyone tried hard to suppress their shopping desire and walked towards the houses they came from.
"Don't you want to buy something? I think you don't have any suitable clothes..." Xia Runrun blinked and tugged at Chu Hang's sleeve.
Although she knew that the person in front of her was actually a real human from beginning to end, but because of a group of crazy researchers, he possessed Xiaobai's body, but Xia Ruanruan always couldn't help but think of the time when she rescued Xiaobai and he was covered in blood and in a miserable state, and then thought about the other party's tragic experience of being sold by his parents after the virus broke out, and the time she spent with him these days.
The girl took out a white points card from her pocket, handed it to Chu Hang, and said proudly, "There are still a lot of points in it, you can buy whatever you want!"
At worst, after buying it, she will take Xiaolu to do two advanced tasks!
The little girl's fingers were soft and had a temperature that was obviously higher than his body temperature. The white score card poked at his palm, causing Chu Hang to look down subconsciously. Ever since the genetic experiment, his body temperature had been several degrees lower than that of a normal person.
Comparing the vastly different behavior between his parents and brothers and the little girl before him, Chu Hang lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid of you?" Xia Ruanruan scratched her head, looking confused.
Why would she be so afraid of Xiaobai? Even if Xiaobai was truly a cat demon, she was still a time traveler. They were both equally capable, so what was there to be afraid of?
"My body temperature is naturally lower than that of ordinary people. I have no sympathy, I don't care about others, I am emotionally indifferent, and my expression is dull and boring..." Chu Hang calmly described his shortcomings one by one. These were all the points that his parents, relatives and classmates disliked about him before the virus broke out, and they were also the reasons why he was so different from ordinary people.
"I even killed someone..." Chu Hang's voice remained flat as he said the last sentence.
"So, did you kill a good guy or a bad guy?"
The little girl blinked slowly, then again. Her voice was soft and crisp as she spoke word by word, "If society was stable before the virus broke out, then setting up a private execution hall would be illegal. If the person is guilty, they should be handed over to the law for punishment... But now that society is in disarray, and outside of the survival base, the law no longer has any power on this continent. Those who wanted to rob women and children, and even rape and eat human flesh, like those in Mingyue Town before, should be stopped and punished."
"Besides... my body temperature is naturally lower than normal, so what's wrong with that? Summer's cold air conditioner is so good, and other people don't even have it!"
The little girl stopped and turned around with her hands on her hips. "If you have no sympathy and don't care about others, then learn from others! No one can master a skill without learning anything!"
"Blind people can learn to read Braille by feeling it, and deaf people can learn to speak by looking at other people's mouth shapes in the mirror! Your situation is much better than theirs, so why can't you learn to be compassionate and care about others like them? Learn to change your cold expression? If you can't learn in one day, you can learn in two days. If you can't learn in two days, you can learn in ten days!"
"Even if you really can't generate any sympathy, you can still help others by doing small things within your ability in your daily life. Over time, even if you can't understand other people's feelings, everyone can still receive the care you bring!" Xia Runrun's expression was serious. She felt that her little Bai was good in every way, but she always felt that there was a negative aura around him.
"Back in Mingyue Town, weren't that young mother and son very grateful to you?! When I had a fever, you and Egg Yolk and the others took me to the doctor and got me an injection. I'm very grateful to you too!"
Xia Ruanruan held Chu Hang's hand tightly and said firmly, "What you said is not a big deal! In this world, everyone has their own difficulties. As long as we work together to overcome them, everything will be fine!"
The little girl spoke righteously, and at this moment, it seemed as if there was a hot-blooded anime background and lighting effects behind her, which made Chu Hang, who had originally looked indifferent, subconsciously raise the corners of his mouth.
This moment——
Chu Hang suddenly realized that what he thought was a big deal was not a big deal to others.
Even an ordinary green parrot can learn the language of other animals. Although he may never truly understand what compassion is in this life, and cannot produce various intense emotions in response to external stimuli like other people, he can regard himself as an excellent actor and integrate into this ordinary world.
A ball of black energy that had been suppressed in his chest for a long time seemed to gradually dissipate at this moment. Chu Hang raised the corner of his mouth and was about to speak.
suddenly!
Several heads popped up, and Huang Haichao and the others looked at Chu Hang in amazement, as if they were watching an orangutan at a zoo. They slapped their heads and said, "Oh my! Mr. Chu is here! I was just saying that there seemed to be someone missing from the team, but I couldn't remember who it was. It turns out that Mr. Chu is here chatting with Ruanruan."
"Huh?! Points card? I just happen to want to buy something. Lend it to me first and I'll put it on the bill later!" Huang Haichao didn't feel embarrassed at all and directly pulled out the white card from Chu Hang's hand.
Xia Ruanruan: "..."
Chu Hang: “…”
…
Those words at the night market seemed to have clearly untied the knot in Chu Hang's heart. On the way back, Xia Runrun could clearly feel the other party's mood changes.
This subconsciously cheered her up, and the little girl followed the crowd, swinging her short legs.
But when Chu Hang was the last one to step into the hotel, he seemed to always feel that someone was staring at him and gazing at him.
Chu Hang frowned and subconsciously turned his head to look back. However, apart from a few flickering street lights, there were only a bunch of moving heads on the dark street.
It was the time when many factories were getting off work, and the streets were full of pedestrians.
Chu Hang slowly glanced around and found nothing, then he slowly withdrew his gaze and stepped into the hotel.
…
The next morning, Xia Ruanruan and her group, carrying dry food and backpacks, rode on the backs of mutant dogs and hurriedly left the Longquan Survival Base, heading for a textile factory located in the suburbs of the next county. This time, the factory was surrounded by a herd of ferocious wild boars, said to number over a hundred.
"Old Chen! Look at the speed at which this team of people moves. I estimate they will be back before dark this afternoon." Old Zhou said a little jealously and patted Old Chen's shoulder jokingly.
"Hey! What are you talking about? Wasn't yesterday just luck? Today will definitely not be so good... That green-feathered parrot can learn to howl like a wolf and live with the mutant wolf pack, so could it learn to squeal like a pig?" Although he kept saying it was impossible, the smile on Lao Chen's face never faded from beginning to end.
"Tsk!" Old Zhou secretly cursed the old guy for his shit luck, but he also had to give Old Chen a thumbs up for his good fortune.
but……
What Old Chen said was exactly what he'd been thinking last night. The prerequisite for a parrot to communicate with other animals was that it had to understand their language. But in his entire life, he'd only heard parrots imitate the barks of dogs and cats, but he'd never heard of one imitating the squeals of pigs! This time, he was definitely going to fail!
At least, at least it is impossible for him to come this afternoon!
Old Zhou was so sure that even the tea in his hand seemed to become more fragrant.
However……
Lao Zhou never expected this time!
This time, the enemy not only brought back a textile production line, but also the mutant boars from Old Pig's family! They brought them directly to the gates of the survival base, almost causing the guards on the city wall to think that a mutant beast attack on the survival base was imminent. This matter was immediately reported to the Foreign Trade Department, and everyone immediately knew that the group that had quickly completed the high-level mission yesterday was back again! This time, they completed another high-level task in just one day!
Lao Chen: “Hehehehehehe!”
Old Zhou: “…”
Lao Chen: "Oh my! I've lost a lot of money. If I had known that completing high-level tasks for these people would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, I wouldn't have increased my task points before! What a loss!"
Old Zhou: “…”
This guy is so ungrateful after getting the advantage, how hateful!
