Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 235 Everyone has their own thoughts

"Woof woof, woof woof"

Hearing footsteps approaching, the two nearly one-month-old puppies, wiggling their ball-like bodies, barked fiercely and cutely at the door of the storage room.

Not only is it completely harmless, but it also makes people's hearts soften.

Wei Lichuan walked to the door and saw two fluffy, adorable balls; his eyes practically lit up with admiration.

"Hey, hey, what kind of look is that? I already said, there's no one for you this time. I'll have one, Qiqi will have one, and there aren't any extra to give to others."

Seeing his expression, Qiao Fei became wary and quickly offered him a promise, "Next time, after Liuli is reborn, I'll definitely save one for you. I've already talked to Xiaoxiao, and she agrees."

If he and Xiaoxiao weren't family, the little girl definitely wouldn't even give it to him.

To paraphrase Qiqi, the two puppies belong to Xiaowu and Liuli. Even if they divorce, each of them will have their own dog. As the owners of the dog couple, that means he and Xiaoxiao will each have one.

Even he didn't score.

This statement is highly problematic, but the children agree with it and regard it as truth.

Where can people go to seek justice?
Wei Lichuan sighed. What a pity. Why couldn't he have one?

Qiao Fei knew he had no hope of getting it, but strangely enough.
Wei Lichuan stared at the cuddly puppy, stroked his chin, and turned to leave.

Qiao Fei:
Are you giving up now?
He paused for a second, then quickly followed, closing the gate behind him as he left the yard.

The two puppies are still too young and can only play in the storage shed and yard for now. Although Yunxi Village is considered safe, it's best to stay indoors if possible.

During the first week after Liuli gave birth to her cubs, Xiao Wu stayed by their side almost every step of the way, always guarding the mother and her two cubs.

But after the first week, it started following Qiqi again during the day and came back here at night.

How to put it? It always gives people the feeling that the owner is more important than its wife and children.

Fortunately, it was always there every night without fail, and the two puppies were very attached to it. Whenever it was there, the two puppies would snuggle up to it affectionately, unless they needed to nurse, in which case they would remember to look for their mother.

Qiao Fei and Song Huanyan were unaware of Liuli's unusual behavior that night during the thunderstorm. It wasn't anything serious, mainly because she was weak after giving birth and couldn't withstand the fluctuations caused by the climate change.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu was there in time to calm it down; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Why are you walking so fast? Old Jiang isn't here.

Before Qiao Fei could finish speaking, Jiang Minglang strolled out of the gate of Baiguoyuan, one hand holding a walkie-talkie and the other in his pocket.

Ok?
Wasn't I called to a meeting by Commander Ouyang early this morning?
They're back in such a short time.

"Old Jiang, where's our son?"

As soon as Wei Lichuan saw Jiang Minglang, he immediately put on a smile and warmly stepped forward, patting him on the shoulder and asking questions.

Qiao Fei could tell what he was up to just by listening to his tone. He scoffed inwardly, "You think currying favor with Lao Jiang will work?"

What a waste!

Too lazy to listen to their nonsense, Qiao Fei turned around and went to work in the fields.

Although it's already November, the temperature shows no signs of dropping, hovering around 40 degrees Celsius every day, making people restless and irritable.

Even so, the land must still be cultivated.

The last thunderstorm almost completely destroyed the crops in the fields, and we've been tilling and improving the soil for the past month.

In fact, only Yunxi Village takes such meticulous care of the fields. In other places, even in the greenhouse area, they just pull out the destroyed crops, water them with well water two or three times, and then start fertilizing and cultivating.

Those who reclaimed wasteland were even more rudimentary. After pulling out the weeds, they would spread the composted fertilizer into the ground as required, turn the soil over, and water it once, and that was it.

They eagerly scattered the seeds into the ground, hoping that the crops would grow and mature before the next thunderstorm, so they could be harvested and the losses avoided.

Only the villagers of Yunxi Village, under Professor Leng's guidance, are patient and meticulous, taking one step at a time, preferring quality over quantity, and not rushing to plant the seeds.

Of course, the result of their meticulous care was that the wheat, rice, sweet potatoes, and potatoes grown in the fields tasted better than those from other places.

Therefore, Ouyang, the base commander, and Wei Lichuan had already distributed the exchange list to the villagers of Yunxi Village, which mainly involved exchanging daily necessities for flour and rice.

At this moment, Qiao Fei ran to the field where Song Huanyan was, and next to it were his sister and his nephew An Zirui.

On the other side, after Qiao Fei left, Wei Lichuan asked Jiang Minglang to let him see Qiqi.

He asked in a low voice, "What does our son like? Or you can tell me this, what does he want most?"

"You can give him anything he wants?"

Jiang Minglang found it really strange that Qiao Fei and Wei Lichuan would go to such lengths to have a puppy.
He asked, puzzled, "You like puppies that much?"

Wei Lichuan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "If I don't like dogs, why would I like you?"
Of course, this shouldn't be said aloud.

He nudged Jiang Minglang with his elbow and said, "You have so many dogs, one more or one less won't make a difference. Could you please help persuade our son to give me this puppy first?"

After saying that, he added, "Of course, I will definitely not let Qiqi suffer any losses. He can tell me what he wants, and I will get it for him even if it means going through fire and water."

Is it really necessary to go through fire and water?
However, now is not the time to talk about puppies; we need to focus on more important things.

Jiang Minglang raised the walkie-talkie in his hand and said to him, "Why didn't you bring this with you when you went out today? Ge Xiaomi is looking for you. She said the tiger across the river is acting strangely today, and there's also a pack of wolves moving around on the other side. She wants you to go back and check it out as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Wei Lichuan's expression immediately changed, and he turned and left.

But he stopped after taking a few steps, turned to look at Jiang Minglang, and asked, "Aren't you coming with me?"

Jiang Minglang waved his hand, "You go first, I have something to take care of here, I'll be right there after I've finished."

The "something to do" was accompanying Bai Li to her prenatal checkup.

It's been five months, and her belly is much bigger than before.

Bai Li herself was in a similar situation to when she was pregnant with Qi Qi, except that her belly was protruding forward, indicating that she was pregnant. Her face and limbs remained the same as before, and she did not gain any weight.

This is a constitution that makes other women jealous.

Actually, calling it a prenatal checkup isn't quite accurate, since Bai Li goes to the clinic all the time, and if Xi Shuang isn't busy, she'd check her pulse eight times a day. Ultrasounds aren't done very often, so today's checkup mainly consisted of an ultrasound.

After finishing this part, Jiang Minglang looked at the ultrasound report for a while and felt that their daughter was exquisite, cute, and unbelievably beautiful.

Bai Li was speechless. How could a simple black and white ultrasound report show anything delicate and cute?
It was half an hour later when Jiang Minglang arrived at Pingjiang Bridge.

To his surprise, he ran into Liu Xu here. What was his name again?

He knew that the girl worked as a registrar at the management office, and that she was Bai Yang's college classmate. The boy who registered and assigned survivors with her was also their classmate.

Jiang Minglang knew that boy; his name was Deng Bo.

When I met Deng Bo at Ningcheng University before, I felt that he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve but lacked courage. Anyway, I didn't like him.

Therefore, at that time, I only helped them clean the gate and didn't care about anything else. I just took Bai Yang and left.

But to my surprise, when I saw him again this time, his whole demeanor had changed a lot. He was much more composed, did things in a more professional manner, and was quite pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Minglang had seen Deng Bo help the girl with her work several times, and the two of them would also be together during breaks and meals.

He thought the girl was with Deng Bo, so why is she with Liu Xu now?
He glanced indifferently at the two people standing very close together. When he looked away, Jiang Minglang didn't notice that half of Liu Xu's body had stiffened.

He Ningzhu naturally saw Jiang Minglang, but she didn't think anything of it. Since she wasn't familiar with him, she decided to pretend she didn't know him.

She simply didn't know the relationship between Liu Xu and Bai Li, so naturally she didn't know that every time Liu Xu saw Jiang Minglang and Bai Li, he would run away as far as a mouse could from a cat.

Today was another unlucky day. I finally got a day off, but He Ningzhu kept pestering me to go to Pingcheng across the river to search for supplies.

Production has not yet resumed. Although the survivors in Pengcheng seem to have no worries about food and drink at present, they want to replenish other supplies precisely because they have no worries about food and drink.

Therefore, He Ningzhu set her sights on Pingcheng, south of Pengcheng, and even Kangzhou.

The zombies in both cities have been completely cleared out, and it's said there aren't many mutated animals left either. Of course, such places are tempting to many people; they were looted countless times last year alone.

But He Ningzhu felt that no matter what, there would still be omissions. After all, it was such a big city, while Pengcheng had such a small population before, not to mention that people who went there always had to carry things back with them.

In this situation, there will definitely be some left over.

So she decided to try her luck and see if she could find what she needed.

Liu Xu is the captain of their team, so his combat strength is undoubtedly top-notch. Most importantly, he's currently pursuing her, so accompanying her out to find things ensures her safety while ensuring she gets everything they find.

He Ningzhu never expected that she would encounter such an unexpected situation upon arriving today.

She looked at the tiger on the mountaintop across Pingjiang, its white shell gleaming in the sunlight, nudged Liu Xu with her elbow, and whispered, "So, we can't go over there today?"

Liu Xu wiped his face and sighed, "We definitely can't go. Let's go. Who knows what might happen in a moment? Let's not get in the way here."

He knew Jiang Minglang was a sharpshooter, and with him around, nothing would go wrong.

So whether the tiger or the wolf is on the other side, no matter how much it jumps around, it will eventually have to obediently lie down.

However, there was no need to tell He Ningzhu these things, as he was afraid that she would insist on going even if she heard them.

He wasn't afraid of those animals, but...
Liu Xu glanced at Jiang Minglang's back again, thinking to himself, "With him here, how dare he go?"
No, it's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm afraid of causing trouble.

When Bai Li found out, he got another beating.

Why get angry and hit someone on such a hot day?
Thinking of this, Liu Xu reached out and pulled He Ningzhu, who was still standing still, and said, "They definitely won't let us through under these circumstances. If you want to go, we can find another time. Let's go now."

Although unwilling, He Ningzhu did not insist any further. Before leaving, she asked Liu Xu, "If you were to face that white tiger, could you defeat it?"

Liu Xu thought to himself, "Am I so bored that I would go and fight a tiger?"

That's giving me way too much credit.

He said, "I don't know, I've never fought one. But there's a rule in Pengcheng that you shouldn't provoke large carnivores without a reason, and those who violate the rule will be expelled from Pengcheng."

He Ningzhu was aware of this rule, of course. She asked it just so that she would be prepared if she ever encountered a large animal like a tiger in the future.

Liu Xu had no idea what she was thinking. If he had, he would have said, "Why do you have to be so pretentious?"
That's none other than a tiger. If I saw it, would I run away instead of fighting it?

With their own thoughts, the two left Pingjiang Bridge and walked to the bicycle parking area. He Ningzhu asked Liu Xu again, "I heard that Deputy Base Chief Jiang's son is particularly fond of animals, so is the rule against interacting with large animals because of his son?"

After she said that, Liu Xu instinctively felt a bit disgusted.

Turning to look at He Ningzhu, her expression remained unchanged, but her eyes were much colder than before. "What do the base's rules and regulations have to do with a child? Even if he were Jiang Minglang's son, he wouldn't get special treatment because of this. You can say this to me, but I hope you won't say it to outsiders."

He Ningzhu was taken aback. She looked at Liu Xu and frowned, saying, "I was just saying it casually. Do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"

Originally, I thought Liu Xutian was fearless, after all, he used to criticize their management office director without any scruples.

But what is happening now?

Why would he protect a child who has absolutely no relation to him?

She knew he was Bai Yang's nephew, but so what? She didn't mean anything by it; she just mentioned it casually when she thought of it.

Why is he so angry?

To her surprise, when she got angry, Liu Xu didn't try to comfort her. Instead, he rode his bicycle with her the whole way without saying a word.

Even after dropping her off at home, he simply said coldly, "I'm leaving," then turned the car around and drove away.

He Ningzhu stomped her feet in anger, wondering what was wrong with him.

Does he know the child, or does he know the child's mother, who is Bai Yang's sister?

That's impossible. If he knows Bai Li, then he should also know Jiang Minglang. But just now on the bridge, the two of them didn't exchange a single word when they met. They didn't seem like they knew each other at all.

He Ningzhu couldn't understand it, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only go home first.

Meanwhile, Liu Xu returned to the courtyard where his team was located. As soon as he put down his bicycle, he heard Liu Ying, who was leaning on the railing, click her tongue and say, "Why is he back? Wasn't someone bewitched by beauty and became a free porter? What? He helped someone carry their stuff home so quickly? The power of love is truly great; this speed is almost as fast as lightning, whoosh whoosh."

good night!
