Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 209 Feeding, Treatment

After reverting to its original form, Bai Xuanfeng glanced at the one adult and two children in front of it, then flapped its wings as if somewhat displeased, before strolling back to its nest and lying down beside its two little ones.

"Mother."

"Get out first."

Bai Li interrupted Qi Qi and quietly led the two children out of the pet room.

“The two pups were just born. Even though Xiaofeng is very familiar with us, we still need to give the family of four their own space.”

During this period, due to the arrival of the white phoenix, Xiao Wu and Tie Dan's nests were moved to the main room, and they no longer lived there.

"Then I'll go tell Dad first."

After Qiqi finished speaking, she and Jiji ran away in a flash. Bai Li went into the kitchen, poured some goat milk into a small pot, and put it on the stove to cook.

After the goat milk boiled, she let it cool in a small bowl and then took it to the pet room along with the millet porridge.

The two baby birds were quiet for a while after drinking water, but now, half an hour later, they're open-mouthed and looking for food again.

Bai Li thought for a moment, then squatted down and used a cotton swab dipped in water to feed them.

After they had drunk their fill, she pointed to the two small bowls next to Fengbao and said softly, "You're the mother, see which one is best to feed them. If you need my help, just call me."

There were also various kinds of bird food nearby, which were prepared for Fengbao and Bai Xuanfeng.

With both parents alive, she felt she didn't need to worry too much about her two chicks. She had previously seen videos of wild cockatiels feeding their chicks, showing that the mother bird needed to regurgitate food to obtain nutrition.

But her phoenix wasn't wild, and she wasn't entirely sure if this white cockatiel was either, so she didn't dare to treat it as wild and ignore it completely.

After giving her water, she sat in front of the doghouse for a while before leaving the pet room.

At this time, Qiqi had already found his father at Grandpa Dong's house. He and Uncle Du were studying the eggshell of the baby phoenix.

"Dad, Dad, do you know what Bai Jun's special ability is?"

Qiqi was still in shock from Bai Xuanfeng's transformation. He thought this guy was amazing, just like Spider-Man, GG Bond, and Hulk. He could transform and turn back, which was incredibly cool.

"That's awesome!"

Gigi added from the side, and Qiqi nodded affirmatively.

Du Qiyan looked at Jiang Minglang and asked, "Who is Bai Jun?"

And their surname is Bai? Who is it?

Jiang Minglang's lips twitched, and he said expressionlessly, "The white bird that came to our house to incubate its eggs."

Fengbao laid two fertilized eggs, and soon after, a white cockatiel came to incubate them. The whole of Baiguoyuan knew about this.

Not only did everyone know, but they were also concerned about when the egg would hatch and curious about what special abilities the hatched parrot would have in the future.

Even so, I didn't go to see the baby birds after hearing they had hatched today.

The weather hadn't fully warmed up yet, and although there was an electric heater inside the cabin, they couldn't turn it on and off frequently. Besides, they were afraid of startling the white bird.

Upon hearing that Bai Xuanfeng also possessed supernatural abilities, Du Qiyan became very curious. He looked at the two children and asked, "What are they?"

The two kids wanted to keep them guessing, but Jiang Minglang slowly said, "Don't keep me in suspense, or you'll have to make up for the training you missed this morning tonight."

Their initially excited faces immediately changed, and even their shoulders slumped down.

Dad's so boring!
Qiqi silently cursed his father in his heart, saying, "Not only does its neck grow longer, but its entire body grows bigger. Dad, you'd never guess! After Bai Jun fully transforms, it's taller than my mom. Its legs, claws, and nails have also changed color and look very hard, and it even has a chest—"

As she spoke, Qiqi puffed out her little chest and patted it, saying, "Mom said if it were a person, it would definitely have abs. Anyway, the transformed Bai Jun is a little different from what you saw before. It's like a white behemoth, very majestic."

Gigi added from the side, "The wings have also become very big. If they spread out and fly, they can carry both me and Qiqi."

Qiqi's eyes lit up. Wow, how come he didn't think of that? It would be so cool if Bai Jun took him flying high into the sky.

"I'm carrying you two on my back, what? You two think you can fly to the sky?"

Jiang Minglang flicked each of them on the forehead and solemnly instructed, "Bai Jun wasn't raised from a puppy. Even if you're familiar with it now, you can't easily climb on its back, understand?"

As the two boys grow older, their superpowers become stronger, and their courage grows accordingly. If they aren't properly disciplined, they might actually dare to ride that white bird and fly away one day.

After chasing the two noisy children away, Jiang Minglang and Du Qiyan were both quite moved.
Transform!
A new superpower has emerged.

Since the apocalypse, the superpowers that humans have developed have been relatively stable, consisting of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, along with relatively common strength, speed and hearing, and the relatively rare lightning.

So far, that's all.

The age range has already been determined, and they are basically all under forty years old.

As for the differences between similar superpowers, they may be related to each person's physique and bodily elements.

But the supernatural abilities of animals are really hard to say.

There were giant pythons that had grown very large, fire-breathing creatures like Xiao Wu and Liu Li, skinless cats that looked like nothing but could control people's minds with their eyes that they had encountered on the Connecticut highway, and parrots like Feng Bao that could control hundreds of birds.

Now we have another parrot that can transform.

Oh, by the way, in the area opposite the Pingjiang Bridge, there's a tiger whose brain has evolved to be comparable to a human's.

As for the others, apart from animals that went berserk and whose eyes were as red as zombies, I didn't come into contact with many.

This is also because the city they are in now has a relatively limited variety of animals, consisting mainly of pets, poultry, or animals that have escaped from zoos. Fortunately, these animals were mostly raised by humans before the apocalypse, and as long as they don't lose their minds, they are not likely to attack humans on their own initiative. In fact, most of them will protect humans and fight against the outside world.

Of course, this is on the premise that you are not abandoned.

For example, Xiao Ai, and Tie Dan.
"Forget it, we can't control the animals. Let's take good care of the ones at home and see how things go with the others."

Anyway, Jiang Minglang and his team would definitely not provoke any animals, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble in the future.

He said to Du Qiyan, "The base commander will probably organize a big operation soon. I plan to take Qiqi and Jiji with me. You know, if Jiji wants to improve his abilities, training at home alone won't be enough. He's always afraid of hurting others, so he always holds back when he releases his power. This isn't good for him. Lightning abilities are rare. If people find out, we can protect him, but the most important thing is that he needs to have the ability to protect himself."

His little brat is the same; dual-elemental abilities are even rarer than lightning. But Qiqi might be because he already has a relatively stable water-elemental ability, so every time he releases his second ability, the metal-elemental ability, his body tenses up, and the dagger falls after spinning once in front of him.

Let alone fighting, they can't even control the situation properly.

However, his ice occasionally turning into iron was his own invention, but it was also unstable, and the iron would turn back into ice after landing.

He trained him diligently for over half a year, but it remained the same. Jiang Minglang then realized that by always training behind closed doors in their own little corner, the two of them lacked a sense of urgency and did not understand the true meaning of adaptability and giving their all.

The training simply didn't produce any results.

Both children are extremely talented in martial arts, both physically and in terms of special abilities.

Of course, even if they lack talent, he still has to train them to develop it, since they are the most promising second-generation leaders who will shoulder the responsibilities of Baiguoyuan and Yunxi Village in the future.

“I have no objection, but Lao Jiang, how about I go this time and Lao Xu stays? I’ve been in Baiguoyuan for so long, I also want to go out and see the world.”

Before the apocalypse, Du Qiyan was a clerical worker, so in terms of martial arts, he was naturally a step behind Jiang Minglang and Qiao Fei, but only slightly behind them. Compared to ordinary superhumans, he was still much stronger.

But he was highly educated and intelligent, and Qiao Fei had almost always relied on him in military deployments.

Jiang Minglang and his group felt more at ease going out several times because he was there to keep things under control at home.

“Okay, you can come along. I’ll have Xu Bo and Xi Yu stay behind. Then, Bai Yang and the two kids can go.”

Bai Yang has experienced many ups and downs in Shenzhen, but he has never been involved in any of the external operations.

Since we're planning to give the two little ones some experience this time, we might as well bring him along too.

After discussing the personnel for the next operation, the two continued to discuss the eggshells in their hands, which were thin and sharp, practical but too few.

It's such a shame; it's so hard to add certain weapons.

"These two little parrots have quite the skill to peck through such hard eggshells."

Jiang Minglang thought that when the two chicks were a little older, he would ask Qiqi to give them a thin iron beak to see if they could peck through it.

The two chicks, now full and asleep, were unaware that their joyful childhood would soon be filled with clashes between iron and ice.

Qiqi would let them peck at the ice first, then let them peck at the iron, taking turns.

Bai Li, who had already gone back to her room to sleep, was unaware that the two small bowls of goat milk and millet soup she had placed in front of the bird's nest were completely empty.

It's unclear whether the baby birds ate it all or it ended up in the stomachs of the couple, Feng Bao and Bai Xuan Feng.

In short, after waking up and going to check on the pet room, Bai Li stared at the two empty bowls in silence for a long time.

Then he looked at Bai Xuanfeng with a complicated expression.

She raised Fengbao from a baby, so how could she not know whether Fengbao liked goat milk and millet porridge?
The baby birds are so small, no matter what kind they are, they'll probably be full before you even notice any changes.

It goes without saying who drank those two bowls of goat milk and millet soup.

Fine, let him drink it. It's not like I can't afford to feed him.

She walked out of the pet room with an empty bowl in her hand, and the moment the door closed, she saw Xiao Ai walking towards her with lazy cat-like steps.

Recalling the scenes of it fighting with Bai Xuanfeng in the past, Bai Li's heart skipped a beat. It wasn't that the other party couldn't beat it; it was clearly just teasing it.

If Bai Jun were to transform and fight it, he could probably take it down with a single claw.

She quickly stepped forward, bent down, wrapped her arms around Xiao Ai's neck, and 'kidnapped' her as she walked towards the backyard.

"Their chicks have just hatched. If you go over there now, you're just asking for death, you know?"

Cats eat baby birds. Although Xiao Ai used to be a pet cat and had never eaten them before, this natural antagonism did not prevent Bai Jun from treating it as an enemy.

She didn't know why it didn't transform when they fought before, but now, in order to protect her own little one, it might show its claws the moment it gets close to the pet room.

But this wretched cat always likes to tease the two birds, even though it knows they don't welcome it, it still insists on circling around the pet room every day.

Bai Li had a premonition that this cat would get a severe beating from Bai Jun sooner or later.

"Meow!"

Xiao Ai didn't understand Bai Li's meaning, but she was delighted by her sudden closeness.

It snuggled into her arms and then followed Bai Li into the kitchen. When it saw her take an egg out of the pot, its eyes lit up and it meowed even more happily.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they left the Bai family home and returned to Gigi's place.

As for teasing the two birds, I've long forgotten about it.

At 8 p.m., Jiang Minglang and Bai Li took Tie Dan to Huo Laojia's house.

The gentle white light from the unicorn enveloped his right ankle, and a warm sensation seeped into his flesh through his skin. Old Huo, who had been in so much pain that he couldn't eat, couldn't help but sigh with relief.

This was the first time in two months that his ankle wasn't hurting as much; his dark skin had regained its rosy hue, and the severed tendon seemed to be regrowth.

After a long while, Tie Dan's superpowers were exhausted, and he had no choice but to stop.

"Woof~~"

The little teddy bear looked up at Bai Li with a guilty expression, as if to say: I'm not completely cured, but I have no strength left.

Bai Li stroked its little curly head and said softly, "It's okay, we can continue tomorrow."

After saying that, he took out a can of ham from his pocket, opened it, placed it in front of Tiedan, and said to it, "These are all yours, eat up."

The following evening at the same time, Bai Li and Jiang Minglang arrived at Huo's house again.

However, Old Master Huo didn't let Tie Dan continue treating his foot. Instead, he pulled his granddaughter Huo Siyun in front of him and said earnestly, "It's already a miracle that my foot has been healed to this extent. I'll still have to limp for a while to allow it to slowly recover. So there's no need for Tie Dan to treat it again today. But, could you please help with Xiaoyun's face?"

"Grandpa, my face is fine, you know, I don't care. But if your foot doesn't heal, it'll be a problem for life. Do you want to be in pain and unable to sleep at night?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"It will still hurt if it's not fully healed. It's okay if you want it to recover slowly. You can't keep pretending to be lame forever. After that, just say that you used the herbs from Sister Xi's place and healed yourself. No one will suspect anything."

Huo Siyun firmly disagreed with Old Master Huo giving her the opportunity for treatment, because she really didn't care about her face. On the contrary, she thought it was good to be ugly, at least there wouldn't be any malicious eyes looking at her face.

clean!

The nineteen-year-old girl had a head of short, stylish hair. On her small, oval face, a scar resembling a centipede ran from below her left eyelid across her entire cheek. Because she hadn't received any treatment or care after the injury, the skin and flesh were now turned inside out and congealed, making it a truly horrifying sight.

good night!
