"Brother, you're a father of two now, and you're quite capable. If a natural disaster really comes, just hide in the tortoise shell I gave to your sister-in-law, and I guarantee you'll be perfectly fine."
"I know it's safe inside, but there are five or six thousand people in this base. Your little turtle shell can't hold them all."
Xiao Ning, there are fewer and fewer people alive now. Maybe these people are the hope for rebuilding this world in the future.
We absolutely have to save it. Especially for the children.
They are so pitiful.
Now that I'm a father myself, I really can't bear to see children suffer. But my abilities are limited, and I don't know how I can help them more.
"Okay, bro, you're getting all sentimental now. Just do what you can. My priority is protecting my family. What do other people have to do with me?"
In Jian Ning's eyes, these ordinary people are all going to die sooner or later, it doesn't really matter.
"How can that be the same? They are all living beings! I've been working alongside the soldiers in the army for a while now, and I've really developed a bond with them."
These young people, some of whom are not even twenty years old, have now become the hope of these adults.
They shouldered the responsibility of guarding such a large base with their young and tender shoulders.
It breaks my heart to think about it. If there hadn't been an apocalypse, they would still be their parents' precious children, cherished and loved.
Now everything has changed. So I was thinking, could we do what we can to preserve this base even in the event of a natural disaster? Xiao Ning, I know you have the ability!
"Okay, brother, don't get agitated. I understand, I'll figure something out. What do you want to eat tonight? Should I get some seafood, or should we have meat?" Jian Ning didn't want to argue with him about this, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Is it okay to have both? There are too many monsters in the sea, and nobody dares to eat seafood right now."
Needless to say, the pigs raised at the farm are practically treated like royalty. They're treated better than people. They're even hoping the sows will have piglets; there's no question of them eating meat.
We have some food stored at home, but since you weren't home, my mother-in-law probably cut back. She just uses some lard to stir-fry vegetables; we're lucky if we can eat our fill. Otherwise, would I be so thin and frail?
Jian Anping talked and laughed as he watched Jian Ning pull out piles of delicious food.
My mouth is practically watering. I remember before the apocalypse, he ate all sorts of delicious food. He hung out with a mob boss and spent every day in hotels.
Looking back now, it seems that they didn't appreciate food at all back then, wasting everything they couldn't finish. If it were now, with so many delicious foods, they would stuff themselves to bursting rather than waste a single bite.
After Jian Ning brought everything out, he carried the bucket and bags downstairs to the kitchen. Jian Ning didn't have to lift a finger.
Taking advantage of this moment, Jian Ning went into the space to check on Huang Fugui, who was curled up in a ball, covering his head and sleeping soundly. She wondered how long he would sleep.
She whispered in his ear, "We're home. We're going to have a good meal, big chicken legs and big pork knuckles. Do you want some?"
"Where is it? Where's the chicken leg?"
Huang Fugui opened his eyes immediately, smacked his lips twice, stretched, and saw his furry paws. He paused for a moment, then rolled over and sat up, transforming back into the little boy's appearance.
"You, all you know is eating. Later I'll take you home and say you're a child I picked up outside, and that's what we call Fugui. Don't say anything else."
"Okay, where's the food?" Huang Fugui stared at Jian Ning's empty hand. Nothing else mattered, as long as there was a chicken leg.
"Here, have something to eat first. Be mindful of your appearance when you go out later," Jian Ning tossed him a large chicken leg. He left the space, went downstairs, grabbed an umbrella, and opened the door...
Jian Anping poked his head out of the kitchen and asked, "Xiao Ning, where are you going in this heavy rain?"
"Something came up, I'll be right back." Jian Ning, holding an umbrella, left the base. She walked quite a distance before releasing Huang Fugui from her spatial storage.
I gave him a raincoat to wear.
"When you get back, don't act too familiar with your family. If they find out you're a cat in disguise, they definitely won't accept it."
"Master, I understand, but I'm not a cat. Don't talk nonsense. I can fool others, but Tyrant will definitely recognize me. We smell the same."
"It can't talk, so it's okay. When we get back, we can play with Tian Tian more. That little girl is too lonely."
Holding Huang Fugui's chubby little hand, they walked back to the base.
The guards were very curious when they saw her return with a little boy after only a short time outside.
"Come here to register. Have you been bitten by any monsters? If you have any injuries, you'll have to be quarantined for two days before you're allowed to enter the base."
"No, how could I be injured? Those monsters are so weak." As soon as Huang Fugui finished speaking, he saw Jian Ning glare at him, so he quickly lowered his head and shut his mouth.
"This kid is young, but he has quite the big mouth."
Go to the examination room over there, take off your clothes for a check-up, and if there are no problems, you can go in. Your relationship has also been registered.
The soldier smiled and patted Huang Fugui's head. In the post-apocalyptic world, most children are pale and thin, malnourished. It's rare to see a little boy like this who is fair and chubby.
After registering, Jian Ning led him to the stone house on the other side. She really didn't know that a physical examination was required.
Entering the base requires so many procedures. It seems the virus carried by the monsters outside must be quite potent.
Otherwise, the base wouldn't be managed so strictly. But it's good this way; at least the base's security is better.
Huang Fugui went in and came out in less than a minute.
"How did you check so quickly? Is everything done?" Jian Ning was surprised that this child was so efficient.
"It's all done. They told me to take off my clothes as soon as I came in, and I just pulled them all off. They turned me around once and then let me out. It's just taking off clothes, why does it take so long?"
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Jian Ning couldn't help but laugh. That's true. When he was in his animal form, he didn't need to wear clothes at all. Maybe these fabrics would even be a constraint for him now.
Holding the inspection approval form, she went back and completed all the necessary paperwork, then grabbed Huang Fugui's hand and strode home. All the way, his little mouth kept chattering.
"Master, everything else is fine now that I've turned into a human."
"He's not as fast as he used to be, and I guess he can't jump high or climb trees anymore." Huang Fugui, with his short legs, jogged after Jian Ning.
"Now that you've taken human form, you should abide by the rules. Don't do things like climbing ladders anymore, and don't act impulsively and say whatever comes to mind. Some things are better left unsaid.
