Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 238 Thanks
When Qiao Fei and Wei Lichuan arrived with their men, the battle was raging. But before they could even get close, they received Jiang Minglang's hand signal from afar.

So the group stopped and quietly retreated along the same route.

The White Tiger's victory is already a foregone conclusion; the more people come, the more likely they are to be disturbed.

The white tiger, also a speed-type, was primarily responsible for chasing the brown-haired monkey, while Jiang Minglang and Bai Li only provided support from the sidelines. After all, the monkey wanted to occupy its territory, and had even sneaked into its territory to steal the wolf cubs.

Therefore, it should avenge the feud between them itself.

Finally, the white tiger bit off one of the monkey's arms and pierced its neck. Then, the tiger simply chewed and ate the brown-haired monkey's body on the spot.

By then, the brown monkey had already fled a distance beyond what Bai Li could control, so her potted plants had stopped halfway there.

Although Jiang Minglang's dagger followed closely, he also caught up with Bai Li, since his control over the area was more limited than Bai Li's.

For animals, the best way to vent their anger is probably to eat their enemy.

Jiang Minglang turned and walked back alone before the white tiger finished eating the monkey.

He saw his wife's potted plant halfway there, bent down, picked it up, and put it on his shoulder.

Before long, the white tiger caught up, its tiger eyes staring at the piece of green vine again and again.

By the time the man and the tiger returned to their original spot, the battle was almost over.

Perhaps because they were caught off guard by Bai Li's green ivy at the beginning, the morale of the monkey troop was greatly reduced. In addition, a bear and two black wolves escaped later. Apart from those monkeys who were tied up by the green ivy, the rest of the monkey troop that were not tied up also became a disorganized mess.

now
Jiang Minglang looked around and found that all the monkeys that his wife had tied up were dead, as were two black wolves and a bear.

The large, spotted tiger that the brown-haired monkey had been riding on was nowhere to be seen; it must have escaped.

As for cleaning up the battlefield, Jiang Minglang didn't think it had anything to do with him. After all, there were mostly monkey corpses here, and he had no interest in monkeys.

He climbed back up the mound where he had been standing, grabbed his sniper rifle, and was about to leave.

But the white tiger stopped them.

"What else do you want to do?"

Jiang Minglang looked at the white tiger and thought to himself, "If you want me to help you move the monkey's corpse back, then I'm going to fight you today no matter what."

However, it seemed that this was not the case. Sensing the movement behind him, Jiang Minglang turned around and saw two wolves dragging the dead bear toward him.

Ask him to help carry the bear's carcass back?

No, I mean, I should give him this bear.

As payment?

However, the next second, Jiang Minglang realized that he had been deluding himself.

Because after the two wolves dragged the bear to his feet, the tiger and the two wolves simultaneously looked at the piece of green ivy lying on his shoulder.

Got it, this is for his wife.

Jiang Minglang's lips twitched. Oh well, it's the same whether I give it to him or to my wife, there's not much difference.

Not long after, the two cars that had gone out returned to Pingjiang Bridge, bringing back a bear with them.

Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe, who had been waiting anxiously, were very curious when they saw the bear, which was several times their size.

Although we often saw them in zoos before the apocalypse, now that it's post-apocalyptic, these things have mutated and are much larger than before. I wonder if the bear paws and bear gallbladders will still have the same effects as before the mutation.
Jiang Minglang had his son put a thin layer of ice on the bear to keep it fresh.

Then he lifted his foot and walked over to Bai Li, who was sitting in the shade.

The reason this battle ended so quickly was thanks to his wife.

When Jiang Minglang saw that Bai Li's face was a little pale, he was startled. He quickly squatted down, took her hand, and asked anxiously, "Did you overexert yourself? Is anything bothering you?"

Bai Li shook her head, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just used a little too much force just now, but I'm okay now."

Jiang Minglang breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go home first."

They helped their neighbor consolidate their territory, and it is believed that in the future, the two sides will reach a tacit consensus and become good allies who live in peace.

For more than a month, the area outside the city gates of Shenzhen was quiet. As the temperature dropped slightly and the weather became cooler, survivors with their families began to come seeking refuge again.

Even though a notice had been posted at the city gate: Pengcheng's population is full, and no more will be accepted!

Of course, in addition to this, there was also a notice about reclaiming wasteland outside the city.

Some people can accept it, while others cannot accept it at all.

But whether it's acceptable or not, making an exception is impossible. After all, once the door is opened, who knows how many more people will follow.

If this leads to dissatisfaction from Kyoto and the other three major bases towards Pengcheng, it might be okay for Kyoto, but the East and West bases are already dissatisfied with Pengcheng because most of the survivors who come to seek refuge are from these two major bases.

A reasonable person would say that this was the survivor's own choice; they wanted to come here.

But if someone is unreasonable, they might think that Pengcheng is trying to steal people and deliberately oppose them.

Although Base Commander Ouyang wanted to help these survivors, he didn't want to confront the two major bases. After all, he had already offended some people in order to destroy the research base that captured Elder Huo.

Even though they didn't discover it was him at first, the other party wasn't an unknown nobody, so naturally they had their own investigative channels.

Shenzhen is not fully developed yet; in Jiang Minglang's words, it's about "laying out" for now.

When the time is right and we can get fully erect, then we won't have to be afraid of anyone.

"Are you really providing seeds and planting methods for free? Also, are your patrols the same soldiers from the city?"

The survivors, feeling exhausted from their journey and unwilling to return the way they came, accepted the task of cultivating wasteland outside the city.

The management office sent Deng Bo, He Ningzhu, and others to register them and take them to the village behind the wasteland for resettlement and household division.

Along with them was Liu Xu's team, which had also been dispatched.

Actually, Liu Xu wasn't sent at first, since they weren't a regular army. Although their combat strength was good, their discipline was inevitably lacking.

Therefore, the management's original intention was to have the soldiers under their command set up a patrol point outside.

Liu Ying, who was well-informed, was immediately tempted when she heard that the reward for patrolling outside the city was twice that inside.

After all, they have a small team to support, and they also want their subordinates to be able to live a more comfortable life.

So Liu Ying urged Liu Xu to go find Li Nan and move them outside.

Unexpectedly, He Ningzhu was also sent out at the same time.

On the way to the wasteland, Liu Ying kept glancing at her brother out of the corner of her eye. She wanted to see if he would ignore this woman when they bumped into each other.

Since returning from Pingjiang Bridge that day, Liu Xu has not gone to see He Ningzhu for half a month.

The greenhouse area where they lived was not far from the management office's staff quarters where He Ningzhu now lived, but it wasn't close either.

So it's really not easy to run into someone without them noticing, let alone when Liu Xu deliberately avoids them.

So they really hadn't seen each other for half a month.

Liu Ying realized that her brother seemed to have truly given up on He Ningzhu, because from the moment they met until now, her brother hadn't even glanced at the woman.

In contrast, He Ningzhu was different. She would glance at Liu Xu every now and then, looking at her brother twelve times in half an hour.

Even through the crowd, Liu Ying could read the deep grievance and confusion in her resentful eyes.

Liu Ying almost burst out laughing.

However, she was also puzzled.

Why did Liu Xu finally give up on He Ningzhu?

The reason she didn't care about this issue before was because she didn't believe her brother could keep his word.

Now that we've done it, we should at least let her know why, right?
Considering that her brother doesn't have many erotic scandals, and now that one has finally come along, she should at least be allowed to have some fun, right?

Three trucks quickly brought the group to the wasteland that needed to be cultivated.

There was no one in the village behind. Although the houses were somewhat dilapidated due to long-term neglect, they could still be lived in after some repairs and cleaning.

To officially establish this as a base, the management office needs to assign a number to each household.

Time flies when you're busy. Once He Ningzhu and her colleagues finished their work and the patrol team checked everything, the work here was temporarily over, and the management staff could take a car back to the city.

"Liu Xu."

He Ningzhu finally couldn't hold back and ran to the patrol team to stop Liu Xu before getting into the car and leaving.

"Are you busy recently?"

"What's up?"

The two stood facing each other and spoke almost simultaneously.

Hearing the indifferent and detached question from Liu Xu, He Ningzhu was stunned. She never expected him to speak to her like that.

And his eyes were cold and indifferent, completely devoid of the previous enthusiasm and ingratiation.

She stared at her with her beautiful eyes, incredulous, and asked, "What do you mean?"

He hadn't visited her for two weeks, and when they bumped into each other, he didn't even greet her. Now that she's come looking for him, he actually...
"What do you mean?" Liu Xu asked impatiently. "Didn't you come looking for me? Is there something you need? If not, hurry back. I'm busy here."

After saying that, seeing that He Ningzhu didn't speak, he simply walked past her and left.

Liu Ying, who was watching from a distance, raised an eyebrow. "Hey, has he really reformed?"
Now Liu Ying was even more curious. What could be the reason?

Not getting what she wanted, He Ningzhu stood there stunned for a while until Deng Bo ran over to call her, and only then did she come back to her senses and follow him to the car.

Even after getting into the car, her pale face hadn't recovered. She lowered her eyes, unable to understand why Liu Xu would act this way.

Actually, she wasn't that sad. After all, she didn't like Liu Xu, and it was actually better that she couldn't be with him.

This feeling just made her uncomfortable.

Why did you just give up like that for no reason?
No, it doesn't seem to be without reason.

He Ningzhu frowned and began to sort out why Liu Xu had given up pursuing her, but before she could figure it out, she heard Deng Bo whisper beside her, "He Ningzhu, are you alright?"

He Ningzhu shook her head subconsciously, "It's nothing, why do you ask?"

She thought she had concealed it well and that no one had noticed.

Although Deng Bo, who had been her classmate for several years, didn't know her particularly well, he was still more familiar with her than others.

He leaned closer to her, lowering his voice, "I heard Liu Xu has a bad temper. Since he's no longer pursuing you, you might as well cut ties and pretend you don't know him if you run into him in the future."

There's really no need to rush to find him.

Deng Bo didn't have any ulterior motives; his advice to her was entirely well-intentioned. In fact, he had subtly given her a hint when Liu Xu was pursuing her before.

At first, seeing that she didn't agree and kept her distance from Liu Xu, he thought she had listened to his advice and rejected Liu Xu.

But later we found something was wrong.

But we are all adults, and no one can interfere with the choices we make.

So although Deng Bo felt uncomfortable, he didn't say anything more.

Now it seems that Liu Xu gave up because he couldn't get a response after pursuing her for a long time, which he thinks is fine.

But He Ningzhu frowned after hearing this and turned her head away, somewhat displeased.

A moment later she turned back and asked Deng Bo, "Have you seen Bai Yang recently?"

Deng Bo: ? ? ?
What do you mean?
Has he not given up on Bai Yang yet?

Thinking of Dr. Xi, whom he had met last time, Deng Bo truthfully said, "He accompanied his girlfriend out of town last week to look for herbs, and I was the one who registered him."

girlfriend?
He Ningzhu was momentarily stunned, then suddenly remembered that when she first met Bai Yang after arriving in Pengcheng, he seemed to have mentioned that he had a girlfriend.

So it really exists, and it's not just an excuse to reject her?

He couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart, but his mouth still involuntarily opened to ask, "Is his girlfriend pretty?"

Deng Bo glanced at her and nodded, saying, "Very beautiful, and a doctor too."

"Does he/she have superpowers?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling it should exist."

She's beautiful, and she has superpowers.
He Ningzhu turned her head away and shut her mouth.

On the other side, Liu Ying was pestering Liu Xu for the reason.

"Didn't I tell you? Your brother has lost his patience. Isn't that reason enough?"

"It was enough, but since you and I are twins, it became not enough."

"Liu Ying, I advise you not to go too far."

"Hey, since you're just killing time anyway, why don't you tell me? Tell me so I can help you analyze it."

Liu Xu thought about it and realized that it wasn't impossible to say.

He raised his hand and scratched his head, saying, "That day, on the way back from Pingjiang Bridge, I told her that Pengcheng doesn't allow encounters with large animals. She asked if this rule was made because of Jiang Qicai. I was immediately unhappy when I heard that. Although Jiang Minglang is the deputy base director, he wouldn't make an exception just because of his son. How should I put it, I really dislike her speculation about that child."

Liu Ying didn't like it either.

Whether they acknowledge it or not, that little brat is still their nephew, so it's not a matter of them protecting their own, but they just don't like hearing others say that about him.

The little guy has amazing water powers and can even turn water into ice.

Whenever he hears others praising him, even though it has nothing to do with them, he can't help but feel a surge of pride.

Besides, his love for animals isn't a flaw. Isn't it a good thing to be able to use animals for his own purposes?

He Ningzhu, that damned woman
If she were still here, she might beat her up.

good night!
