Chapter 94
He recounted in detail how he met the child, and finally briefly explained why the other party had not been able to find a match for the child in the official kinship system after so many years.
It can only be said that it was a coincidence.
If the previous parents of the child did not want the child at the beginning and then submitted a sample to the official side, and if the child's own abilities were not strong enough and were not noticed by them, the higher-ups would not let them take the initiative to find the child's relatives out of consideration.
Perhaps, he and the child have already reunited.
In the end, the drunkard met the child himself. Based on the child's appearance, he became suspicious and expectant, and took the initiative to contact the child, which led to the subsequent events.
The matter of the child was temporarily clear, and the drunkard also knew that the authorities did not look for the child's relatives immediately after considering many factors. The final result was to protect the child. He did not think too much about it. He was already very happy to be reunited with his child.
In fact, he was grateful, grateful to these people for taking care of his child in places where he couldn't see them, so that his child could be safe in such an environment.
"I want to take my kids home to visit."
Gratitude is one thing, but his selfishness will not disappear because of this gratitude.
He wanted to take the child home, visit the child's mother's grave, and tell the child that it was not because his mother did not love him that she did not come, but because his mother did not hold on.
"This... I need to go up and apply. I can't give you an answer right now."
After hearing what the drunkard said, the captain of Team Three frowned and thought about it, and he could understand why the drunkard did that.
Regarding the drunkard's matter, his superiors asked him to investigate, and he also looked at the information when he brought it back.
After all, he participated in the whole process, so it's not surprising that he knew about it.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
The drunkard was already satisfied to receive this sentence, and all he could do was wait for the reply from above.
After hearing what the drunkard said, the leaders above were also considering whether to agree to let the drunkard take the child back.
To be honest, according to the leader's opinion, it would be okay to let the drunkard take the child back, but he was afraid that something might go wrong.
The reason why he preferred to let the drunkard take the child back was because he saw the information he had asked someone to check before.
Not to mention the information about the drunkard, which was just inadvertently put in by the person who was looking up the information below, the information about the drunkard's previous living environment made him keenly feel that something was wrong.
What kind of place could have so many people with special abilities?
What kind of place could make the officials living at the foot of the mountain go to such great lengths to get the people who had already moved down the mountain to go up there to farm?
With so many people watching in the city, isn't it safer than in the mountains, the territory of those mutant animals and plants?
Even though it was just a very brief description in words, he still realized that there was something wrong with the place where the drunkard used to live.
This is the main reason why the leader hesitated and wanted to let the child go back with the drunkard.
But the child was young and capable, and he had walked so far away and was still out of his sight, which made him feel uneasy.
It's not that the people from Team 3 can't take some time to go with them, but the first-line team is already very busy, and with the mineral vein that appeared in Sangshan, it's even busier. Even the newly trained second-line team has been summoned to work there. It's really unwise to withdraw the first-line team to go on this trip in such a short time.
"I know the place you're talking about. It's quite interesting indeed. Don't worry about any danger once you get there. Just make sure you're safe on the way."
The leader couldn't handle the situation alone, so he turned around and talked to the Taoist who was training people with special abilities, asking him to analyze the situation from an observer's perspective.
After hearing what he said, the Taoist briefly asked about the specific location of the drunkard's home and thought of the person who communicated with him every once in a while.
Village chief Dai from Shangyou Village dreams of some hexagrams every once in a while. After all, he is not a professional. Instead of letting him guess slowly, it is better to ask him directly.
Despite his busy schedule, the Taoist always kept in touch with Village Chief Dai, so it was inevitable that he knew some things about the mountain.
He also knew about Daxi Village under Shangyou Village. He had thought about going there before, but he was too busy for the time being. In addition, those spiritual energy pits kept appearing and new situations kept emerging. He simply couldn't spare the time and had to put it on hold.
Now when he heard his leader say this, he thought of the godmother in Daxi Village who was said to be very magical.
From the information conveyed by Village Chief Dai in the past, that person was really interesting, but he didn't know what his specific strength was for the time being.
Anyway, he is stronger than him. The Taoist priest does not have that much ability now to directly protect two villages that are quite far apart.
But it’s okay. Even if he only knows the general situation, it won’t affect what he said to his leader.
Because his curiosity about that place was aroused again by his leader.
"You're short on manpower over there, and I've just trained a group of people and are ready to go out for actual combat. They can go over there too. You can be assured that I'll be with you, right?"
The Taoist didn't plan to waste time talking to his leader. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. The matter was settled.
The matter was settled, and the drunkard got the answer the next day. He was so happy that he carried the child around for a long time.
Looking at my own children, I couldn't help but think of my family. I felt a little choked up, but more excited.
Compared to his previous decadent look, he looks much more lively now as he spins around with the child in his arms.
"Are we going home?"
The child had heard what the drunkard and the captain of Team Three said before, and now he heard this part as well. He was not a fool, so of course he understood what it meant.
When you ask this question, there will definitely be more words to follow.
"Well, let's go home and take a look. Baby, don't you want to go home?"
The drunk heard the child's question and lowered his head to speak to him softly.
"Think about it, that is, after we go back, will we come out again?"
The child lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked hesitantly.
He felt a little reluctant to leave the captain uncle and his teammates.
It was normal for the child to feel reluctant to leave. After all, when he was in the sea of fire and couldn't even open the door, and could only hide in the bathroom waiting to die, it was the members of Team 3 who stomped the door open and carried him out with one hand.
Even now that the child has grown a lot taller and gained weight, it is all because of the careful care of his teammates from Team 3 that he has grown so fast.
"Yes, I will be back. Our work is still here!"
Hearing the reluctance in the child's words, the drunk nodded in agreement.
If he didn't want to take the child to see his family and let them feel at ease in the grave, it would be the same even if he didn't go back now. After all, he was alone and it would be the same wherever he went with the child.
"Then let's go back and come back later."
After hearing the promise, the child looked up in surprise, smiled at the drunk and said, then began to snuggle up to the drunk's neck.
This short period of time together was enough for the two to become familiar with each other. Perhaps because of blood ties, the child liked this father who suddenly appeared very much.
Of course, it is more because the child has strong mental power. Even if he does not use his mental power to control those mutant animals, he will unconsciously perceive the attitude of the people around him towards him in his daily life.
As for the drunkard, he put more perception on it, as if he wanted to confirm something.
The drunkard is also a person with psychic abilities, how could he not have noticed it?
Just because he realized it, he completely released his abilities and put his feelings in front of the child without hiding anything. It was because of his openness that the child accepted him so quickly.
In this center for people with special abilities, many people have special abilities. Even if their abilities are not psychic, they have learned to restrain their minds to avoid being detected by people with psychic abilities.
I have also often seen many people in the ability center hiding their emotions and not wanting others to sense them.
It's not surprising that the child would be close to this person who suddenly appears and is completely open in front of the child, allowing him to watch, and has a decent heart.
The Taoist told the leader that he would take people to send the drunkard and the child back, so there was no delay at all.
The drunkard found out not long after, but within two hours, he received a message from the team on his bracelet communicator, asking him to bring his child over to meet up.
Team 3 also received the news and took time out of their busy schedule to personally send the two of them to their destination. After that, they continued to work.
"We're here, take the back car."
The Taoist priest was wearing a white robe and sitting in the passenger seat, leaning his elbows against the window. When he saw the people appear in his sight, he waited for them to come closer. After seeing the faces of the two people clearly, he looked at them carefully for a few times before giving orders.
After saying this, he saw the two men nod to him, then he went to the back, retracted his elbows, and closed the car window.
"Let's go, this old guy is really lucky."
He gave an order to the person with special abilities in the driver's seat, and then muttered something in a low voice.
It goes without saying that the only person who could allow him to mutter so carefreely is the busy leader currently in the control center.
After the mutation, the two of them became partners. The Taoist was responsible for training capable people, while the leader was responsible for placing these capable people in the right places.
It was fine at the beginning when the two of them were unfamiliar with each other, but later when they became familiar with each other, the leader would come to urge the Taoist from time to time, saying that there was no one else available, which made the Taoist very annoyed. His complaints about the leader were not only in his heart, but also on his lips.
When the person with special abilities in the driver's seat heard the Taoist's words, he restrained his expression and made it look like he hadn't heard anything.
"Hey, look at you."
Seeing his appearance, the Taoist turned around and sighed.
Is this the awe an intern has for his leader before taking up a position?
Forget it, let’s not make things difficult for others.
After thinking about it, the Taoist turned around and began to look out the window, observing the conditions of the mutated animals and plants in the wild.
"These mutant plants and animals have been growing faster recently. If you can't keep up with them, you will definitely be left behind and become their food."
The mutant plant that didn't look very big when it appeared in the wild some time ago has now become huge, and even its branches that were originally motionless have begun to sway. It seems that it is using its branches to sense and patrol the surrounding prey, and will attack as long as something that can serve as nutrients appears.
Every time the Taoist took people out for actual combat, they had to travel very far. In addition, the people he brought with him had low abilities, so he couldn't expect his superiors to assign them to normal first- and second-tier teams to lead them.
Those first- and second-line teams all have missions to go out on. It’s better not to send these people who have never come into contact with any mutated animals or plants to cause trouble for others.
Send it to him after he has finished teaching.
Thinking of this, the Taoist wanted to sigh.
At the beginning, most of the people with special abilities he brought with him were from the military, and a small number were from the police system. They had their own abilities, physical strength, and combat acumen, they just needed him to help them become familiar with their abilities.
But the further back in time, the weaker the foundation of the people with special abilities he brought with him became. At this point, the people sent to him...
Although he was not asked to teach the martial arts personally, they were all summoned from the front and taught by the troops before being sent here.
But those who left halfway through memorized a set of procedures and were most proficient in how to save their own lives. If they wanted to be familiar with and integrate everything they had learned, they still needed him to lead people to slowly polish it.
That's why every time he heard his boss complain about not having enough people, he wanted to lean over the phone line and spit at them.
The work is getting harder and harder. There is a partner next to him who not only takes advantage of himself, but also complains to him that the people he gives him are not enough for him to take advantage of.
While the Taoist was thinking about these things, the mutated plants and animals outside the car were also restless. The mutated plant that the Taoist was staring at started to whip towards their convoy with its branches.
Hearing the familiar banging sounds beside his ears, the Taoist was speechless. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture to stick another reinforcement talisman on the car body.
Although the car wouldn't break down after being beaten like this, if he didn't take care of it, it would probably be turned into scrap by the time their team returned.
Every time he went out, a whole fleet of vehicles was scrapped, and the logistics staff had to keep complaining to him for several days.
He turned around and glanced at the esper who had just slowed down because of the noise outside the car, "Don't dawdle, these mutant plants and animals are fine, they are not your real targets, they can't even deal with the car, you don't need to wait for them to grow longer."
As the Taoist said this, he withdrew his hand and looked down at the talisman paper he had brought with him. He needed to go further this time, so it should be enough.
After figuring it out, the Taoist felt at ease to put it away.
"Then we'll pick them up after they grow back?"
The person with special abilities sitting in the back seat asked cautiously.
"When they grow up, you will also be old enough to take over from the previous patrol guards. If it's not you who will take care of them, then who will? This time, practice hard and be careful. Remember everything you need to remember, or you won't lose your life."
The Taoist said this, turning around with a smile to look at the young man who had just asked him the question.
Most of the people with special abilities that he got this time were young people who had been trained in the army. A few of them were older and had a military background. They were summoned by the Flower-Growing Country.
It is normal for young people to have more problems.
He even wished they would ask more questions, so he told them everything they didn't know, to prevent them from getting into trouble due to not understanding the situation.
Of course, the premise for him to tell them everything he knows is that these people want to ask. If they don’t ask, no matter how much he says, it will be in vain. He will just be forced to remember it because he is a teacher.
These people are in positions that put them in danger at all times, and it is not enough to just remember this.
"Okay, don't worry, teacher."
Without waiting for the person in the back seat to reply, the person with special abilities in the driver's seat next to him spoke first.
With this speed, he is indeed one of the smartest ones in this group.
Among the people with special abilities brought by the Taoist priest, there were a few who appeared to be smart and had calm temperaments. Basically, they were arranged to drive. The main reason was that if they did not come, it would not be safe to let the rest of the people drive and carry people.
Fortunately, they all understood what the Taoist meant, so they formed their own team and found people to take turns driving, so that the Taoist didn't have to worry about it.
Just now, during the time they were driving out, even though they were novices who were out in the wilderness for the first time, they were not left behind by the team due to various emergencies and they followed the team in an orderly manner.
The drunkard and the child were sitting in the middle vehicle of the entire convoy. There was a Taoist priest watching in front, so the drunkard and the child didn't need to worry. They just had to be on guard at the critical moment.
There is a Taoist priest watching over them, and he is an experienced hand. Before bringing this group of people, he had taught those people all the possible mistakes they could make.
So even if there were some unexpected situations in the middle, they were still very easy to solve.
The Taoist's movements were so skillful that it made people feel distressed.
The convoy traveled in the wilderness for several days, and stopped in the middle to let those with special abilities get off the vehicle for actual combat. Although they were rushing all the way, when you really counted it all, they were still moving very slowly.
Ying Huai, who was in Daxi Village, didn't know that because of this coincidence, the drunkard was taking his child and a group of people behind him and were heading towards Daxi Village.
He was looking down and giving instructions to the village chief, who was sitting under his tree watching videos on his cell phone.
A few days ago, a video shot by people on the other side of the border and uploaded to the Internet suddenly appeared on the Internet. It went viral at the time, and it has not died down even after a few days. In fact, due to the subsequent videos, the discussion about the locust plague on the border has intensified.
Not only are people on the border in a panic, fearing that the locusts will eat up the meager harvest, but they are also afraid that these mutated locusts will mutate again during their time in the country and become a blood-eating species.
This is not impossible. Just look at the Gu made by the Gu boy and you will know that the compatibility of those mutated insects is still very strong.
Although they don't have similar abilities to the Gu boy, who can guarantee that they won't eat themselves and mutate again without external forces?
The people who saw the video online were panicked. At first, many people scolded the neighboring country for being selfish and only caring about the civil war. They didn't even control the insects and let those insects eat up all the plants that could be eaten in their country. They just watched the insects reach the flower-growing country. Sooner or later, they would get retribution for their actions.
But what can they do? With so many people scolding them online, they pretended not to see anything and just huddled down like quails. They were even afraid that the flower farmers would fire another cannon at them, so they moved their original territory to a farther place.
After the border troops discovered their actions, they were silent for a while.
I really can't believe that our neighboring country can be so cowardly.
Even though he is so cowardly, he still does such a thing. It looks like the trouble has spread to the country of flowers.
Although the directions of the mutant insects' comings and goings cannot be controlled, they are in this situation because of the actions of their neighboring countries. Even though they have become so cowardly, the top leaders of the Flower-Growing Country do not want to let them go easily.
The trade that border cities had been conducting with neighboring countries was cut off.
On the surface, it seems not a big deal. After all, with the current situation of neighboring countries, they are unable to complete more transactions with the Flower Country. After the Flower Country closes their trade channels, neighboring countries can only cross other countries and go around to coastal countries to trade with other countries in the world that are far away.
Neighboring countries were dumbfounded when they saw the cut-off trade. At that time, they just wanted to get the trouble out of the country, and no one expected that such consequences would occur.
They felt a little regretful for a moment, but they didn't think about regretting letting the mutant insects go to other countries.
Rather, he regretted that when he first learned about the situation of these insects, he didn't think of using some effort to change the direction of the mutated insects. It would be the same if they went to other countries. Why did he just watch them end up in the flower-growing country...
It is useless to regret now. They can only speak out pitifully on the international stage and negotiate trade imports with other countries.
In today's environment, maritime transportation is very dangerous even if the routes are familiar, because the people in the shipping companies have no idea whether there will be mutant sea creatures appearing on the sea routes to cause trouble for them, and they also have to guard against people launching attacks at sea to steal goods.
So to be on the safe side, these transportation companies have tacitly raised the transportation fees very high.
The top leaders of the neighboring country looked at the quotation sheet sent to them and frowned again in the direction of the Flower-Growing Country.
Why did the entire country have such a problem with their brains back then?
The food reserves they have now in the country are not enough for daily consumption. In addition, they are still fighting among themselves. If they can't even guarantee basic supplies, who will follow them?
The people of the neighboring country don't care about the troubles of the flower-growing country at all. After they curse the neighboring country online, they are sure that they can't do anything to the people of the neighboring country, so they have no choice but to give up cursing them and start thinking about how to help the border resist the mutant insects.
Every household, as long as there were mutant animals at home that did not harm people and ate insects, basically responded to the country's call and sent the mutant animals to people.
The mutant animals that can be sent out basically have brains and are raised by their families as children. They can understand the instructions of their family members and know what to do, but they may not listen to outsiders.
Therefore, the most common scene on the official side is that the owner gives serious instructions for the first ten minutes, and the animal looks very sensible. After the owner finishes giving instructions, it nods obediently and follows the official people away.
Once they realized that their owner had really left their sight, they let themselves go. Those with good temperaments would find a corner and stay there, watching other mutant animals making trouble.
Those with bad tempers are the ones who make a fuss.
Fortunately, although these mutant animals did not listen to the officials, they still listened to the instructions of their owners. After being urgently transported to the border, they were not afraid at all when facing those mutant insects.
I know that those insects are not poisonous and there is spiritual energy in them. Although it is not much, it is enough.
There are many insects, so they eat a lot and have a lot of spiritual energy.
These days, thanks to these mutated animals, the situation has been barely under control.
Looking at the videos that were posted online, some people even sent their mutated scabies to the border to fight against insects. Ying Huai couldn't understand why some people liked to raise scabies.
"Oh, what a pity! Our village is too far from the border, and no one is here to collect mutant animals. Otherwise, we still have several chickens, ducks, and geese in our village that are mutated. There are also several wild animals that have run down from the mountains and specialize in eating mutant insects. If we send them all to the border, they will definitely be able to resist before they are full."
With one hand, he followed Ying Huai's instructions and scrolled through the video posted online. With the other hand, the village chief saw that the video was getting exciting and slapped his thigh, with a look of regret on his face that their Daxi Village had not caught up with the good times.
Zuzu, who was resting nearby, heard the noise coming from his side and turned to look at him.
"What are you doing, old man? Why are you making so much noise?"
As he spoke, Zuzu stretched out his hand and nodded at the village chief's head.
Knowing that he had disturbed the old lady and was being called out, the village chief could only smile happily at the old lady and promised to speak more quietly next time.
However, what the village chief said is still feasible. Although the higher-ups did not plan to come here to recruit mutant animals because they are too far away, if they can find enough mutant animals to go, it is not impossible for them to go together in a car.
"There are only a few mutant animals that can eat insects in our village. I don't know if there are any down the mountain. If there are, let's go down the mountain and join them."
The village chief muttered to himself, thinking that he would discuss it with Tang Rufeng later, maybe it would be possible.
Thinking of this, the village chief turned and looked at the locust tree.
"Godmother, do you think this should be feasible? We still need to deal with those bugs on the border as soon as possible. They're a locust plague. We haven't dealt with all the mutated bugs in our country yet. If we can't prevent them on the border, and the bugs on both sides come together, we won't be able to grow anything good on our land. If anything grows, they'll be eaten. Who can stand that?"
The village chief was muttering to Ying Huai over there. In the end, he wanted to pick up his phone and go directly to find Tang Rufeng.
These days, everyone in the village has been talking about what's happening outside, but there hasn't been any action. If Tang Rufeng goes to ask the town leaders at the foot of the mountain to see if they have any action, if so, the people from Daxi Village can still make up the numbers.
Ying Huai watched the whole process and didn't say anything to the village chief, but his attention was on the mutated animals that appeared around him.
For example, the crow that often appears in the village has a high IQ. It has communicated with Ying Huai from a distance before and is a crow with a good temper.
For example, the mutant wild ducks in the mountain nest. These days, wild duck eggs in the mountain nest have begun to hatch. Of course, most of them are ordinary wild ducks, and a small number are ducklings that have hatched from mutant duck eggs.
Shitou and the others were quite capable at the time. They picked and chose the hottest kind of egg dolls, and in the end they were beaten badly.
Ying Huai was thinking that if the mutant wild ducks in the mountain nest wanted to increase their strength, besides improving their own abilities through training, they should probably eat something rich in spiritual energy.
Those mutated insects on the back mountain and the mutated fish and shellfish in the water are difficult for them to eat.
On the other hand, humans have discovered a channel that allows them to get enough food without any effort and also enhance their strength. It is not impossible for them to go there directly.
With the current intelligence of these mutant animals, if they knew the news, they would go there on their own without anyone calling them together.
This is because they suffer from the disadvantage of not being able to understand human language, read human text, and finally, they cannot use mobile phones. Otherwise, if they knew that there was food that could be eaten at the border, they would have run so fast.
Everyone in the village should have heard of these mutated animals more or less, but as the village chief said, they can't go there by themselves and can't fly. There is nothing they can do and they can only regret it.
But the mutant ducks are different, they can fly! If they fly, don't fly too fast!
Just as Ying Huai was thinking about these things, a crow quietly landed on an electric wire in the distance and tilted its head to look in Ying Huai's direction.
Although it couldn't understand what Ying Huai was thinking, and because Ying Huai was a tree, it couldn't observe and judge Ying Huai's current state, but it still keenly felt that Ying Huai should be thinking about what happened just now.
Crows are used to hanging around Daxi Village and not approaching humans, because in the world before the mutation, most people regarded crows as a kind of unlucky bird.
They will hide when they see them, and over time, they will also hide from humans.
Although after the mutation, these mutant animals that do not attack humans and are very smart are still popular among humans, they have no intention of getting close to humans.
They originally did not come to Daxi Village. They used to spend most of their time in the deep mountains looking for food.
It was only after most of the villages on the mountain moved to the town at the foot of the mountain and there were fewer people on the mountain that they began to fly around and were willing to stay far away to observe the humans in the village.
Of course, the first time it came here was because of the mutant fruit tree that appeared behind Daxi Village. The fruit of that mutant fruit tree had the richest spiritual energy among all the fruits of mutant plants it had eaten so far.
Come to think of it, those are the spiritual fruits that the mutant fruit tree prepared for itself to absorb, so how could the spiritual energy content not be high?
"Don't you get bored standing like this every day?"
Yaya tilted her head and looked at the locust tree quietly for a while. After making sure that Ying Huai was not thinking about anything, she spoke to Ying Huai.
"It's not boring. Besides, I can't turn into a human to play now."
After hearing this, Ying Huai was speechless and answered its doubts.
This is a boring question for a tree. How should it answer?
"Can I land on your treetop? I want to talk to you closer."
Yaya spoke very bluntly, standing there quietly, with a serious look in her eyes when she looked at Ying Huai.
Although it didn't say it explicitly, Ying Huai knew why it landed on his treetop.
Because when Ying Huai is practicing, he will unconsciously gather the surrounding spiritual energy and surround it around the locust tree. The closer you are to Ying Huai, the richer the spiritual energy you can feel.
The villagers are not as sensitive to spiritual energy as Ying Huai or these mutant animals, but they also know that practicing abilities will be slightly faster if they get close to their godmother. However, only the children in the village often practice under the Ying Huai tree.
However, they themselves did not come forward like the children, for they were afraid of snatching away Ying Huai's cultivation resources.
For the time being, Ying Huai's increased strength is much more useful than their increased abilities.
Therefore, it has become a consensus among the capable adults in the village not to get close to Ying Huai during cultivation.
"Then you come down."
Ying Huai heard what the crow said and agreed gently.
Hearing Ying Huai's agreement, the crow flapped its wings and landed on the top of Ying Huai's tree.
As soon as it landed, it was like it had escaped from the cold snow after a long period of time and landed on a warm haystack. It rubbed its two paws alternately left and right, turned its head and used its beak to tidy up its feathers, making sure that they were shiny and clean, and then relaxed.
It was surrounded by spiritual energy gathered by Ying Huai. Just staying in such an environment made it shrink its neck comfortably, but it did not practice.
"You can take a break."
Ying Huai saw it like this and suggested with a smile.
"No, I'll be leaving soon. The spiritual energy in the village is much richer than other places. I'm already very happy that you let me in."
After hearing Ying Huai's words, Crow tilted his head and thought about it, then refused.
Although it didn't quite understand why the spiritual energy in this seemingly ordinary village was richer than that in other places, it knew that this phenomenon must be due to Ying Huai.
Ying Huai can let it fly around the village, and it is already very good to practice in the village.
Yaya is very sensible and won't take advantage of other people's kindness to get more out of their way.
"You stay in the village every day. Have you heard what the villagers say?"
After hearing its refusal, Ying Huai did not try to persuade it and instead changed the subject.
"Is this happening on your country's border?"
A few days ago, when Yaya was practicing in the village, he heard the villagers talking about these things. However, he still had a tribe, and there were old and weak people in his tribe who could not persist in long-distance flights, so he had to give up.
"Yes, do you want to go? There are a lot of mutant bugs there now, which will be good for your growth."
Ying Huai said this, but he didn't want to force Ya Ya.
"I wanted to go at first, but I still have to take care of my elders. After I leave, they won't be able to find food and will starve to death."
Yaya responded to Ying Huai's words and explained his situation clearly.
Its brain was smart to begin with, and it became even smarter after the mutation. When it heard the news, it thought about the pros and cons, and knew what was suitable for itself. It also knew that the disadvantages were something it could not bear.
Its clan is very special. Although some of the crows in the crow flock have mutated, there are still quite a few crows that have not mutated. Without the protection of the mutated crows, if they go out to find food, they may become food for the mutated animals and plants in the mountains.
The other companions followed the ordinary crows to find food and protect them, but it was responsible for feeding the elderly crow elders. When the food brought back by other crows was not enough, it would share some of the food with the little crows who were not full.
"Why don't you come around the village? I've only seen you, a crow, come here recently."
Ying Huai was a little confused. Knowing that ordinary crows might become food for mutant animals and that food was hard to find, and that his side was the only safer place around, and that many wild animals had already come down from the mountain to Daxi Village, he didn't believe that the crows wouldn't think of this.
"Many humans don't like us, especially when we appear in groups."
Before it finished speaking, Ying Huai knew what it was going to say next.
They will be driven away anyway, so it is better to keep it as it is now. It comes here to practice. When it becomes stronger, one crow will be responsible for the old and weak in the tribe, and other crows will not come here to compete with it.
From time to time, it would bring back some spiritual fruits from Daxi Village for other crows to eat. This was the best way for them to get along with each other that they could think of for the time being.
When flocks of crows appear, most people will feel that it is an ominous sign and will think of driving them away out of disgust.
"You can come here, between the two villages on the mountain. That place is used by the humans at the foot of the mountain. You can live there and help look after the humans over there."
After Ying Huai thought it through, he decided not to challenge the ideas of the older generation of the two village heads, especially since there were many elderly people in Daxi Village who were more superstitious and could not help but think too much.
There are other ways to prevent the crows from entering Daxi Village.
It was impossible before because Ying Huai's protection range was limited. Now the range is larger, and many people from the foot of the mountain have gone up the mountain, which makes the village chief and others very worried that there may be people with bad intentions among them.
Releasing these crows now will give them a safe place to settle down, and at the same time, the crows can keep an eye on them and detect any problems in time.
Although he was within Ying Huai's protection range and could sense it when Ying Huai was not practicing, he couldn't keep an eye on him all day long. If he could get help, Ying Huai would not refuse.
After hearing Ying Huai's words, Crow lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then chose to agree.
There is a relatively safe place for the old crows in the tribe and the young crows that have not yet learned to fly and find food to settle down. Ordinary crows can easily find something to eat in such an environment.
The remaining mutant crows can fly farther and find more food, and the only price they pay is to help keep an eye on the humans on that land. This is a good deal, and they are getting the better deal.
The crow had an agreement with Ying Huai and was about to go back to inform the tribe, but before it could take any action, it was stopped by Ying Huai.
"Now that the difficulties in the tribe have been resolved, can you mutant crows travel farther to find food?" Ying Huai asked.
"Okay, Huaishu, do you want me to lead the tribe to a certain place to find food?"
Hearing this, Crow tilted his head and thought for a moment, vaguely guessed something, and asked directly.
"Yes, I've seen you fly at full speed. You can make a round trip in one day and come back every other day, using the time in between to forage and store food."
Hearing the crow's question, Ying Huai no longer concealed it and stated his purpose.
"Also, I want to ask the mutant ducks in the mountain nest later. They should go there too."
"Okay, sure. I'll pass the message on for you."
With Ying Huai's words, Crow was sure that it would not have any impact on his side, and might even be beneficial, so he agreed directly.
Anyway, it has to return to the tribe, so it won't be a big deal to help Ying Huai pass on the message.
After saying that, the crow jumped lightly on the top of the locust tree, flapped its wings, and flew towards the mountain valley.
Soon, a mutant duck that looked slightly larger than the surrounding mutant ducks flew towards Ying Huai.
It stopped a little distance away from the village entrance and landed on the ground. It was obvious that it still remembered what happened last time and didn't want to come this time.
Just because it was the crow that called it, and knowing Ying Huai's strength, it didn't dare not come, so it had to come. It came reluctantly and fell behind in the distance.
"Excuse me, what's the matter with you calling me here?"
Although the mutant duck landed far away, its quacking sound was quite loud.
Plus, it was its own idea to be far away, and for Ying Huai, this distance was just right.
Ying Huai was afraid that the mutant duck would get closer, so he lowered his eyes and had a hard time finding the duck.
Although Ying Huai was already used to looking at people with his eyes lowered.
The mutant duck's brain was not as quick as the crow's, but fortunately it was smart enough to communicate. In addition, it was afraid of Ying Huai's strength, so it finally agreed reluctantly to let some of the mutant wild ducks stay in the reed marsh to look after the ducklings, and the rest of the mutant wild ducks followed the crow out to find food.
Although it didn't quite understand why this seemingly powerful tree asked them to follow the crows to find food.
Unfortunately, its strength was not as strong as Ying Huai's. Although Ying Huai did not hurt it, it was still timid. Finally, under Ying Huai's persuasion, it had no choice but to agree.
The next day, as the sky was just getting light, bursts of hoarse cries of crows could be heard from outside the reed marsh, sounding as if they were urging someone to stop them.
There was no way. The mutant ducks that were originally huddled in the duck coop to sleep stood up, stomped their feet, flapped their wings and followed the mutant crows flying in one direction.
At the same time, the sound of flapping wings was heard from the village outside the village on the mountain, which had been quiet.
The townspeople who were resting on the mountain were woken up and looked outside, and were dumbfounded.
"What's going on? Why are there so many crows here?"
"From the looks of it, they're building a nest. Don't worry about it. I'll go to Daxi Village and ask after daybreak. For now, leave it alone."
After being woken up, people came out of their sleeping rooms one after another, looked up at the crows busy building nests, and looked at each other. Finally, the manager of the village outside the village came out and made a decision after seeing this scene.
Before he went up the mountain, the mayor had communicated with him that the establishment of a village outside the village on the mountain still depended on the opinions of Daxi Village.
Only if they agree can they build it safely and there won't be any problems with subsequent farming.
Otherwise, this large area on the mountain is protected by the godmother from Daxi Village. If the other party does not agree, it will be futile even if they build it by force.
When he saw these crows today, he thought of the same sentence. If the godmother in Daxi Village had not agreed, these crows would definitely not have settled down so directly and built nests as soon as they landed.
Looking at the mutant crows perched on the branches of the surrounding trees, with the naked eye, those crows were a circle larger than the busy crows. Even at such a distance, he could still see the dark light reflected from the mutant crows.
There is the sharpness on the opponent's claws, and there is also the sharpness on the tips of the mutant crow's feathers.
He was sure that if they rashly went up to drive away the crows that were busy building nests, the mutant crows perched on the tree branches would definitely come up and fight them.
When the situation is unclear, it is better to be safe and not disturb others unless they provoke you.
With the manager's opinion, the rest of the people didn't want to bother with these crows. They turned around and went back to their rooms, stuffed tissues in their ears, and continued to sleep.
They still have to continue working in the fields during the day.
The land outside the village has been reclaimed under the mayor's hurried urging, but planting is not something he can accomplish just by being anxious.
They went up the mountain and started raising seedlings. It took them two days to cultivate the fields, and only a part of the seedlings came out. They looked at the seedling fields every day, and picked out the ones that could be planted and planted them in the fields.
Fortunately, these are mutant seeds. Even if the time for seedling cultivation is insufficient, there is no need to worry about them not surviving. They are still very tenacious.
The most important point is that they have seedlings in the nursery that can be used to make up for the shortfall. Even if some of them don't survive, there are still some that can be used to replace them. If they don't die, then that's just right as they can make up for the shortfall in time.
When the administrator found Daxi Village during the day, the village chief was discussing with Tang Rufeng whether to unite with the people in the town at the foot of the mountain to transport mutant animals to the border.
The mutant insect-eating animals from their village were difficult to get back after being sent there. This was different when they collaborated with the people in the town down the mountain. Not only did they help the country, but they also didn't have to worry about the hassle of transporting the mutant animals back, which required them to do themselves.
Just as he was thinking about it and discussing with Tang Rufeng, he turned around and heard Captain Qingzhi say that the manager of the village outside the village was looking for him. The village chief was really confused. He recalled that nothing seemed to have happened in the past two days. How could he find him?
I stood up and walked outside. As soon as I walked out, I saw the manager standing at the door.
The other party was just about to knock on the door, but before he could move, the village chief opened the door.
"What is this? How can I help you? We will help if we can."
The village chief saw some hesitation on the other person's face and thought that there might be some trouble, so he asked directly.
"Well, Village Chief Wu, are you aware that there are flocks of crows moving towards the surrounding areas of the village?"
After hearing what the village chief said, the other party asked directly.
"What? Are crows moving here?"
There has always been a crow living in the village. The village chief knew about it, but the crow's presence was not strong and not many people saw it, so the village chief did not pay much attention to it.
Who would have thought that the other party would be the first to take the lead? I just don’t know how he convinced my godmother to agree.
That’s right, at first the village chief was still wondering why crows suddenly moved into the village, but then he thought, godmother knows everything about the village.
If crows come in, they can even go to the villages outside the village. If my godmother doesn't agree, they will definitely not be able to come in and will be stopped from a distance.
Although I have figured it out in my mind, I still need to confirm it to avoid any misunderstanding.
"I know about this. I'll ask my godmother later. Will those crows hurt anyone now?"
The village chief nodded and turned to worry about the temperament of the crows.
"It doesn't look like it's going to hurt anyone right now, but if someone provokes it, I don't know, they'll definitely get scratched back."
When the manager heard the village chief's question, he thought about what he saw last night and expressed his true thoughts.
Although he didn't know why he had that feeling at the time, he was inexplicably certain.
Little did he know that the feeling in his heart was the ability of one of the mutant crows. The other party used mental invasion to seemingly inadvertently influence this idea in his mind.
Although the mutant crow's ability is not strong, whether it is a human or any other life, a momentary thought can often influence the other party for a long time. If it cannot be reversed, it will have to hit a wall before giving up.
The mutant crow that was left behind to look after the tribe, even if its ability was not as good as the crow that communicated with Ying Huai, could not be that weak.
After sending the man away, the village chief followed the man's path out of the village and arrived at the village entrance. Before he could ask his godmother, he got a positive idea.
The village chief felt relieved after receiving the godmother's affirmation.
He really thought that his godmother didn't notice and the crows came in.
"Godmother, when will these Ali come back? They've been out for so long, I'm afraid something might have happened to them."
After getting an answer to his first thought, the village chief turned to ask something else.
He had previously discussed with Tang Rufeng his plan to cooperate with Shanxia Town to send mutant animals. Tang Rufeng would follow up on the subsequent matters, and in the end he only needed to know what the result would be.
The village chief had nothing on his mind, and as soon as he had some free time, he thought that the two big cats, Ali and Hu Hu, had been out for so long, and it was time for them to come back.
Ying Huai heard the village chief's question and sensed the current location of Ali and Hu Hu. He found that they were already on the road, but he didn't know what happened in the middle of the road and they stopped halfway and there was no movement.
[They are fine. They were delayed for something. You will know what it was when they come back. Don't worry.]
Knowing the situation of Ali and the others, Ying Huai did not hide it and told them directly.
The village chief felt relieved after receiving the godmother's affirmation.
Although I don't have much contact with Ali, I watched him grow up. He gets along well with my son and can even take care of my grandson. It's no exaggeration to say that he is a family member.
So Yituanzi has been out for such a long time and there is no news. Although his family knows that Ali is very powerful now, they are still worried even though they don't say it.
It’s good to know that I’m safe, but I don’t know when I can come back.
This time, Ali took Hu Hu to the mine to look for spirit stones, and at first they were looking for low-level spirit stones.
However, because the government allowed too many people to dig for spirit stones, and low-level spirit stones were easy to find, they were dug up so sparsely that the low-level spirit stones became difficult to find.
It just so happened that the mineral vein had been upgraded for some time, and during this period it had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy. If you look for it slowly, you can still find a lot of intermediate spirit stones.
It's better than using the same effort to find low-level spirit stones as mid-level spirit stones.
Although it took some time, they found quite a few after all. After a while of confirming the number, Ali and Hu Hu started running home.
Who would have thought that they have a tail following them, and that tail may not be good at anything else, but it is extremely good at hiding itself.
Unfortunately, the opponent was not capable enough and was exposed halfway due to lack of spiritual power.
It was not Ali and Hu Hu who first discovered the mutated fox, but the mutated plants and animals around it.
No matter how weak the mutant fox's ability is, it has stayed in Sangshan for such a long time and found many spirit stones to absorb, so it is full of spiritual energy.
In the eyes of these mutated animals and plants, it is just a delicious delicacy that they can take a bite of without being very strong.
With a delicious dish that exudes fragrance at all times in front of you, how could the mutated animals and plants around it not try it?
His ability to hide himself was ineffective, and his ability to save his life was not well-trained, so he was blocked. He could barely dodge it at the beginning, but later he could only passively take the beating.
When Ali heard the noise and turned back with Hu Hu, he saw a snow-white fox with blood beads constantly oozing out of its body, dyeing its fur blood red. It seemed that it was still resisting the attacks of the surrounding mutated animals and plants.
It looks weak and strong, just like a small white flower fluttering in the wind and about to disappear at any time.
Ali shook his head and threw away the description of the melodramatic TV series he watched with the hostess at home. He turned around and signaled Hu Hu to take the bag off his back. He rushed straight towards the mutant fox who was struggling to resist.
Ahri had seen this fox before. He had given the stone he didn't want to this fox in the cave before.
Unexpectedly, this mutant fox was so brave. Judging from the direction it came from, it was obviously following it and Hu Hu towards this side.
Ali and Hu Hu are both very powerful. Even if they don't take action, the power they exude is enough to scare the surrounding mutant animals and plants, and they will not easily attack them.
But this mutant fox, which only looks good, is different. It has plenty of spiritual energy but no attack power. Isn't it a ready-made snack?
Ahri has great attack power. When she first went up to rescue the fox, the mutated animals and plants around her tried to stop her. The mutated animals were blown away by her in a few moves, and the branches of the mutated plants that were tied towards her were torn apart by her sharp claws.
It was visible to the naked eye that a life-and-death crisis for the mutant fox was resolved by Ali in just a few moves.
After all the mutant plants and animals around were beaten by Ahri and either fled or wilted with only their roots surviving, and it took them a while to recover, Ahri finally felt relieved and turned to look at the mutant fox lying powerlessly on the ground.
The fox had been rescued, but what should he do next? Ahri was a little confused.
It has no arms, and it has to carry the spirit stone on its back, but there is no place to carry it.
But it is not a good idea to leave it here right after rescuing it. Looking at its condition, the next time a mutant animal or plant comes near it, it probably won't even have the strength to resist.
"Why did you follow us? How did you hide all the way? How come we didn't notice you?"
There was no way, Ali and Hu Hu couldn’t leave for the time being, so they could only put down their bags and squat beside the mutant fox and watch it.
Feeling a bit bored, Ali thought of something and asked.
Upon hearing this, the fox looked up and glanced at Ali carefully before speaking in a weak voice.
"There are many more people on the mountain, and the powerful beasts have found new nests. They are afraid that the humans will steal their treasures. My treasure was stolen, so I want to follow you and make a home next to your nest."
Who would have thought that the nests of these two seemingly powerful beasts were actually so far away? It had tried its best to use its abilities, but still couldn't get there.
"What made you want to follow us? Wouldn't it be better to follow the beast that used to protect you?"
After hearing what it said, Ali was a little confused. Those mutant animals had all found new nests and settled down near Sangshan, but this one actually followed them from a distance.
"Hello, give me the treasure, don't steal, and don't bully the beast."
The mutant fox thought about how the treasures he had found with great difficulty were snatched away by powerful beasts. After those humans went up the mountain, they were looking for something and found its nest and stole all its treasures.
Thinking of this, he was overcome with grief for a moment, with tears falling continuously. Combined with his strenuous resistance, the bright red blood on his white fur, the dishevel on his body, and the fox-haired face, Ali could actually see a hint of broken beauty.
God knows, it's a cat! It only looks at the strong and beautiful ones of its kind!
Thinking of this, Ali was speechless and turned his head away from the mutant fox. He was afraid that if he continued to look at it like this, his aesthetic taste would be ruined by this weak mutant fox.
"Okay, stop crying. Can you still walk? We have things to take with us and can't take care of you. Just follow us and we won't let you be attacked again."
Ahri said, then turned to look at the mutant fox with a questioning look in her eyes.
"Can!"
Upon hearing this, the mutant fox stood up somewhat crookedly and took two steps in the direction they had just gone, staggering.
"Forget it, you should take a rest."
Seeing the fox's reluctant look, Ali had no choice but to stop. He was really afraid that the fox would not be able to move forward halfway.
It was unrealistic to just stop and wait, so Ali asked Hu Hu to help watch the bag, and Ali started walking around looking for food.
When Ali came back dragging a deer that looked quite large, he saw Hu Hu sitting majestically next to two bundles. The mutant fox next to him, who had said he wanted to rest, was trembling with fear under the pressure of Hu Hu's majesty.
When Hu Hu saw the deer being dragged by Ali, his aura suddenly disappeared. He quickly stood up and walked towards Ali, dragged the deer from Ali's mouth over, and began to divide the meat.
After tearing off the deer leg that Ali liked, he began to look for the part he wanted to eat.
Finally, his eyes glanced at the mutant fox next to him, and he tore off a large piece of meat from the deer and threw it towards the mutant fox.
Seeing the meat in front of it, the mutant fox, which had been cowering in fear just now, was instantly moved. These two beasts were so kind that they actually shared their food with it!
After the mutation, due to the animal mutation, the mutant fox's ability was not strong and it had not had a full meal for a long time.
The mice that it could hunt had evolved. They were either strong enough to jump up and hit it, or they ran faster than a greased wheel. It was impossible to catch them.
It was its luck to encounter a non-mutated rat.
Because it knew how difficult hunting was, how could it not be moved when it met two animals who easily shared their prey with it?
The mutant fox felt the feeling of being full for the first time in a long time. The happiness of having a full stomach made him forget that he was trembling with fear before.
He rubbed his head against Ali's arm in gratitude, then turned around and rubbed his head against Hu Hu's arm.
After rubbing against the cats, it came back to its senses and looked at the two big cats whose fur was stained with blood, and shrank back in embarrassment.
Some of the small wounds on its body have scabbed over, the blood on its fur has dried, and the deeper wounds appear to be bleeding, but blood still flows out with the slightest movement.
The blood stains of Ahri and Hu Hu are its own.
I don't know if it's stupid, but it would be fine if it just licked the bleeding wound itself, but now that it hasn't healed yet, it rubbed the two of them with its wound.
"Feeling better? Let's go then."
Seeing that it had regained some energy and that it would have no problem walking, Ali stood up and took it forward.
After all, the mutant fox is a mutant, and its recovery ability is stronger than that of ordinary animals. Although it has many wounds, it can barely support walking after resting for a while.
We'll find someone to take a look at it when we get to Daxi Village. There won't be any big problem.
It was because of the existence of the mutant fox that Ali and Hu Hu's pace of returning to Daxi Village was slowed down again.
By the time they dragged themselves back to Daxi Village, the mutant crows had already taken the mutant ducks to the border for a meal and had packed up the food before returning.
As Ying Huai said before, the mutated locusts on the border have spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to the mutated animals that eat them.
Even though the spiritual energy in the body is less than those fruits and grains containing spiritual energy, it can be accumulated and fill the stomach, so it can be considered a very high-quality food.
Just look at the mutant ducks. They were reluctant to go out at first, and they disliked running so far to find food. But when they really got there, they encountered mutant insects for the first time and could eat several of them without any observation or hunting. That feeling was really addictive.
Even though the mutant crows had not set off yet, they had already set off in a hurry.
After all, they are larger than mutant crows, can eat more, and need to be brought back more.
The people on the border seemed to know about these mutant animals. They had encountered them before and then killed and packed up the mutant locusts.
When we see them eating insects without hurting people, we will carefully hang a bag on them based on their body size, which the mutant animals can take off themselves, so that they can better pack the insects to take home and eat.
