Chapter 41 Cub
"The wall was blown up today. The marks are very fresh. Maybe the person just left not long ago." He stared at the inside of the exploded debris in his hand and analyzed calmly.
Lan Jingming ran out and reported: "Captain, everything in the armory has been emptied. What should we do now?"
"It's obvious that the other side is well prepared. Their target should not be just this armory. Let's go to the next one." Xiao Lou made a prompt decision.
The five people got back into the car and left.
Shuxin and his friends left only after the car had disappeared. However, they did not return along the same route as they had come, fearing that the pedestrians might be waiting for them halfway. So they took a longer route and went back.
Detouring back and seeing the newly built wildlife sanctuary in City A from afar, Shuxin suddenly remembered what was written in the original book: in the end times, not only are genes in humans mutating, but animals and plants are no exception, and some animals and plants even wake up much earlier than humans.
The mutations of animals and plants are different from those of humans. There is no good or bad distinction.
After the mutation, the animals will become extremely intelligent, their size will become two to three times larger than before, their attack power will double, and a small number of them can even awaken supernatural powers like humans.
Some people raised pets before the end of the world and took good care of them, helping them survive natural disasters. After the catastrophe, the animals that had owners were extremely loyal.
For people who have not awakened their special powers, having a mutant animal to protect them would be a kind of protection in the dangerous apocalypse.
When Shu Xin first read in the book that a cat mutated and was carried by a cat while escaping from zombies, she was extremely envious and even imagined herself riding a big cat.
As Yan Mo and the others were walking, they noticed that Shu Xin had stopped moving, staring blankly at the wildlife sanctuary in front of them, wondering what she was thinking.
"Xinbao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Yan Mo turned back, lowered his head and asked patiently.
"Let's go in and take a look! What do you think?" Shu Xin looked up with her eyes sparkling and full of anticipation.
"Okay, but you have to tell me why you suddenly want to go in and take a look?" Yan Mo had never been able to refuse Shu Xin's request, let alone when Shu Xin looked at him like that. However, he still had to find out the reason.
I know my own wife well. She is usually a little willful in minor matters, and she is also coquettish and likes to act coquettishly. But when we go out, she always obeys the arrangements and is very well-behaved.
Now he suddenly suggested going into the zoo, there must be a reason.
"I want to go in and see if there are any living animals. I'll explain the specific reason to you when I get back."
"Well, there's really nothing we can do about you." Yan Mo went over and talked to Mu Xiangwen and Mu Qimai. They had no objection to this.
After discussing, the four of them stepped into a wildlife sanctuary that had been neglected for a long time. The project of this sanctuary was very important, and they wanted to build it into a famous scenic spot in City A and make a fortune from it.
Not only have they introduced different species of wild protected animals from all over the country, but they have also spent a lot of money to create an environment suitable for the survival of animals with different habits. From the half-exposed buildings and the overall layout, we can vaguely see the original intentions of the construction.
The reserve covers a large area, and Shu Xin and the others walked a long circle along the main road. It didn't matter since Yan Mo was her husband, but Shu Xin and Mu Qimai were with her, so it wouldn't be nice to have them accompany her back and forth.
After going around in circles without any results, Shu Xin gave up and walked ahead with his head down, looking listless, like an eggplant hit by frost.
"Xinbao, there seems to be some movement over there."
Yan Mo couldn't bear to see his wife unhappy, so he had been observing her carefully all the way. Suddenly, he heard a slight noise from the right.
"Where?!" Hearing the noise, Shuxin suddenly perked up.
"It sounds like the movement is coming from the right."
Not caring about the people behind him, Shu Xin walked towards the blocked area on the right, with Yan Mo following closely behind.
Xiangwen and Makimai were both confused and followed without knowing why.
"There really is a living animal. It's a big white tiger..."
The three words "big white tiger" made Yan Mo's heart tense. He grabbed Shu Xin's arm to stop her from moving forward.
"Oh, it's really a white tiger. It's not easy for it to survive to this day." Xiang Wen, who came over, poked his head and took a look.
Makimai was the most careful observer and was the first to notice something was wrong with the tiger in the pit. "But isn't there something wrong with the tiger's breathing?"
"Hmm, I feel like the depth of the pit is not right either." Yan Mo looked away from the troublesome little creature beside him and saw the problem at a glance. He scanned it back and forth twice to confirm something. "This white tiger should be dead. The only thing alive is the thing it is protecting."
Yan Mochun gave Mu Qimai a look. After years of tacit understanding, Mu Qimai understood what he meant. He walked over carefully, lifted up the white tiger corpse, and revealed the thing hidden underneath.
"Hiss——" After seeing the situation inside, Mu Qinmai, who was always more introverted, took a breath of cool air.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xiangwen, who was standing behind, saw Mu Qi walking over. He had been very curious and could not help but run over. After seeing clearly, he was stunned.
"Here, here, here..."
"What? What? Why are you two stopping talking halfway? I'm so anxious! I'll take a look myself!" Shu Xin struggled to break free from Yan Mo's hand and trotted over. After making sure there was no danger, Yan Mo stopped holding Shu Xin and let go of her hand.
"Are these five cubs? There's even a wolf lying underneath!" Shu Xin exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, it seems that the two mothers chose this method to keep their children warm in order to protect their children."
"Animals love their children just as much as humans do. Some people are even worse than animals!"
"Dad Yan~" Shu Xin came here for the purpose of finding animals to raise. Now that she had finally found five cubs, she would of course not miss them. She hugged Yan Mo's waist and acted coquettishly in a skillful manner.
"Want to raise one?" Hearing this title, Yan Mo's eyes twitched. After such a long time, he still couldn't get used to it.
"Yes, let's take it home and raise it. I promise it will only do us good, not bad."
Shu Xin looked at Yan Mo pleadingly, as if she would cry in front of him the next second if he didn't agree.
"Okay, then why don't you let me go and let me put them into the space, otherwise they will be frozen to death."
"Okay!" After getting Yan Mo's promise, Shu Xin's eyes lit up, and she cooperated with him to put the five cubs into the second level of the space.
