Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 263 Surrounded by a Pack of Dogs

Upon hearing that the foreigner who killed Ankar had been taken back for interrogation by Jiang Minglang, Liu Ying urged Liu Xu to come and ask about the situation.

It wasn't that they were being nosy; it's just that she had adopted Little Blue, so she wanted to figure out why these people didn't leave after killing Ankar. What was their purpose?

She guessed that it was most likely aimed at Xiao Lan.

Sure enough, when Liu Xu returned, he said that the foreigner had arrogantly asked Qiao Fei to hand Xiao Lan over to him.

"It's going to rain soon, so don't take Xiao Lan out. Just stay home."

Although Liu Ying didn't go with the team to clear Ancheng recently, she took the little guy to patrol the wasteland outside the city.

However, they only went for a day. After raising Xiao Lan for a while, they gradually discovered that the little guy was incredibly well-behaved.

Aside from needing to urinate or defecate, he almost never makes a sound. The neighbors didn't even notice that there was a child in their neighborhood, who was less than a year old.

That's why Liu Ying decided to take him on patrol with her.

After all, once their team accepted the mission, they had to see it through to the end.

What's more, there's a samurai cat following him around every step of the way.

The white cat from Yunxi Village only stayed here for two days before leaving, which made Liu Ying feel very sorry. She thought she could let it stay by Xiao Lan's side and become the second Warrior Cat.

"It's about to rain, I need to go check on how their tent is going."

After Liu Xu finished speaking, he patted Xiao Lan's head, got up, and walked out.

As they approached the gate, he suddenly turned to Liu Ying and said, "Wash my towel, it smells."

It smells...?
Liu Ying touched her nose guiltily, thinking, how could it not smell? Every time Xiao Lan finished pooping and washed her bottom, Ba Tong would use his towel to wipe it, and then not wash it. Just thinking about how her brother was in close contact with Xiao Lan's bottom every day... Oh well, it's his own child, it's not dirty.

Not long after Liu Xu left, Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe arrived.

Little Blue, who was practicing walking in her walker, lit up when she saw the two of them, then grinned, revealing two adorable little teeth.

Seeing him dancing around happily, Liu Ying gently tapped his forehead, "You're so happy because you know your brothers are coming to bring you milk, aren't you?"

Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe would come here every two days, both to deliver milk to Xiao Lan and to play with him.

The little guy, with his delicate features and blue eyes, was quite adored by the two of them.

Similarly, Xiao Lan also likes the two of them. He is usually quiet and steady, unlike a child, but only when he sees the two of them will he stretch out his arms and revert to his infant-like state.

"Qiqi, when is your mother giving birth?"

Watching the two of them playing with Xiao Lan, Liu Ying casually asked.

"Three months to go."

Jiang Qi was overjoyed at the thought of seeing his sister in three months.

Lin Zhe was also happy; she was Qiqi's sister, but also his sister.

The two children played with Xiao Lan for a while, then quickly left to run outside the city to fight monsters.

Because it might rain tomorrow or the day after, and the cleaning work in Pengcheng wouldn't require them, they volunteered to go outside the city.

Given their outstanding performance in the previous instances, Xi Yu no longer restricted them; as long as they didn't leave Ancheng, they could go anywhere.

To prevent the animals from going berserk and attacking during the rainy season, the entire city of An is currently undergoing a large-scale inspection and cleanup. After all, the survivors who arrived this month have not been allowed into the city and are all staying outside.

Commander Ouyang is still considering whether to send these people into the city to take shelter when it rains.
However, due to a previous incident where someone might go berserk and attack their own people, this idea was ultimately rejected.

All I ask is that the management office properly arranges for the people outside, and ensures that the doors and windows of the houses are sturdy. We just need to do what we can for now, and the rest is up to us.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. At noon on the second day, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. Suddenly, the sky darkened and dark clouds surged into the sky.

Everyone busy inside and outside Shenzhen felt a sudden jolt in their hearts. Looking up at the sky, they saw a bolt of lightning silently pierce through the dark clouds, suddenly illuminating half the sky. Then, a deafening roar shook the eardrums of those outside.

"It's going to rain, quick, let's get back to the city!"

The team that was still patrolling and searching for rats in Ancheng heard their captain give an order, and everyone lined up and turned to run quickly towards Pengcheng.

Their mission was to search for animals that posed a threat to humans, so this group of twelve people left the city on foot.

In an abandoned village about two kilometers away, Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe, along with Xiao Wu, were confronting five wolfhounds.

The two men were chasing a calf when, after entering the village, five wolfhounds suddenly appeared from both directions, blocking the three of them on the country road.

Qiqi originally had a natural affinity for dogs, but when he saw these five wolfhounds, he frowned in disgust, just like the man-eating wolfhounds that Liu Xu and the others had caught before.

These aren't good things either.

He and Gigi were back to back, about to make a quick move, when the sky suddenly darkened.

As lightning flashed and thunder roared, a chorus of barking dogs suddenly erupted throughout the village. At the same time, two of the five large wolfhounds confronting them suddenly turned red in the eyes, and then the two dogs pounced on them one after the other.

Qiqi and Jiji attacked at the same time. One turned the dog that pounced on him into an ice sculpture, while the other unleashed a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm, which pierced through the dog's head.

Xiao Wu seized the opportunity, leaped forward, and spat out a ball of red fire. With a "poof," the dog it hit was instantly burned to ashes.

In the blink of an eye, three of the five wolfhounds were gone. When the remaining two lunged at them again, baring their teeth, the two men pierced their necks with short knives.

Uncle Xi had warned them that superpowers could be used to achieve unexpected victories without harming themselves in the slightest. However, they were not very helpful in training their physical skills, so they should use their physical skills first whenever possible.

Take Uncle Shi Jiashu, for example.

He didn't awaken any obvious superpowers, but his skills and speed were no less than those of superhumans. Even when a superhuman attempted to attack him with their abilities, he might already be behind them and have already taken them down.

It is said that before the apocalypse, when they went on missions, such as climbing trees and ascending heights, he was usually the first to rush up.

However, he was very low-key and didn't talk much, so when other forces analyzed the personnel and combat strength of Jiang Minglang's side, they actually ranked Shi Jiashu last.

Initially, someone had placed the lightning ability on his back. Later, Lin Zhe frequently traveled to and from Pengcheng with Qi Qi and stopped concealing his ability. So they reordered Jiang Minglang's group, moving Shi Jiashu to the back. Little did they know that his explosive power was second only to Jiang Minglang, and even his marksmanship was second only to him, the highest among Zhang Shaoda and Xi Yu's group.

He was Jiang Minglang's trump card, and also the one who was best at playing dumb to outsmart others.

Just as the two had dealt with the five wolfhounds, a pack of dogs came rushing out from the depths of the village, each with bloodshot eyes and baring its teeth as they charged at them.

At this moment, a second clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and the dark clouds gathered more and more, making the sky darker and darker, as if night was about to fall and the light would never come again.

Seeing that things were not going well, the two little ones turned around and ran out of the village with Xiao Wu.

Originally, it was thought that the two would run out of the village and leave, but when they reached the village entrance, they jumped up to the left and right, kicked off the walls on both sides, spun around, and when they landed, the short knife in their hands accurately slashed at the two stray dogs running in front.

With two soft thuds, the dog's head wasn't severed, but its neck was cut in half. As blood splattered out, the two dogs ran a few more steps forward due to inertia before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

They didn't even glance at the two dogs, and continued hacking at the next one with their knives.

With their eyes red and them acting like madmen, there was clearly no need to keep them any longer. Besides, like the previous wolfhounds, these dogs disgusted Qiqi.

Xiao Wu was very clever. It followed behind Qi Qi and spewed fire whenever it could, burning all the dogs that might threaten Qi Qi to ashes.

Its two puppies are now three months old. Although one of them was taken away by Qiqi after Wei Lichuan begged him, Xiao Wu still goes to check on it every now and then.

Wei Lichuan and his soldiers were fed too well; they were now so fat they could barely move, and they hadn't shown any obvious signs of fire-based abilities. Even so, Wei Lichuan still treated them like royalty, keeping them safe and untouchable. It wasn't like he was raising dogs; he was raising pampered masters.

In comparison, Qiao Fei's was rather slender, but perhaps because it was with its mother Liu Li, it actually spat out a small flame when it coughed.

This made Qiao Fei so excited that he carried it to Wei Lichuan and showed it off for a long time.

For some reason, compared to Xiao Wu, Liu Li seemed to have forgotten about her other little cub, Qiu Qiu, and never went to see her even once.

After the two exchanged blows, they retreated simultaneously. Xiao Wu immediately stepped forward and unleashed a massive fireball. The scorching flames engulfed every dog ​​that touched it, quickly turning them into ashes that floated lightly to the ground.

The pack of dogs, having lost their minds, were not afraid and charged forward one after another.

"Xiao Wu!"

Qiqi shouted, and after Xiao Wu spat out flames, he turned around and ran with Jiji onto the road at the entrance of the village, and then sped off towards Pengcheng.

The third bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and as the thunder roared, a gust of wind swept through, sending a chill down one's spine.

Meanwhile, the patrol team leader, who was rushing towards Shenzhen, had a bad feeling. Could it be like last time, with a sudden heat followed by a sudden cold, and then snow?
"Captain, there's a pack of dogs chasing two children over there."

Two children?

The patrol captain's heart skipped a beat. His first thought was of Jiang Qi, the son of Captain Jiang, and his friend Lin Zhe.

After all, these two children have been frequently running out of the city recently, and some people who care about them have already guessed their identities and are paying attention to them.

The patrol captain stopped and looked back. When he saw that there were at least twenty dogs chasing the two children, he immediately and decisively ordered, "Tang Ming, Li Ji, and Wang Ying will take the rear. The rest of you, continue to speed back to the city. Hurry, don't stop."

It's not that he looks down on his team members, but the three superhumans he specifically mentioned might not be a match for those two kids.

He knew that Qiqi could instantly conjure an ice wall, so the fact that he hadn't used it meant that he wanted these wild dogs dead.

The patrol captain guessed correctly. Qiqi and Jiji had actually been running and killing their way through the village. It was unclear whether the village they had stumbled into had become a gathering place for dogs. After the thunder, countless dogs went berserk and pounced on them. In any case, the not-so-wide village road was already packed with them.

They initially killed six, Xiao Wu burned about ten more, and after running onto the highway, they killed more than twenty more along the way, which is why there are now only about twenty left.

Otherwise, given the initial numbers, the sheer number on the road would have been even more frightening, a dark mass of people.

When Qiqi saw the patrol captain and three people bringing up the rear, he immediately understood what they meant. They wanted to help wipe out these dogs in one fell swoop.

As he ran, he looked up at the dark sky, where unidentified objects flew overhead. They were still about three kilometers away from the gates of Pengcheng.

Alright, let's just wipe them all out cleanly.

"Uncle, do you have any earth-type items?"

He can conjure ice walls, but this also consumes a lot of his special ability. If he wants to train his skills, he needs to ensure his physical strength.

"Have."

The patrol captain instantly understood what Qiqi meant. He said to his team member Tang Ming, "Make a wall, leave five, no, ten in front, and separate them in the middle to block half of them from behind."

When the earthen wall was erected, the patrol leader, along with two other people and two children, killed dogs.

Ten minutes later, all the dogs chasing Qiqi and Jiji were killed.

After running and fighting, the two were exhausted and panting.

"How are you? Can you still walk?"

After initially being surprised by the two children's skills and fighting ability, the patrol captain looked up at the darkening sky and felt the chilly wind, and said with a little anxiety, "If you can't walk, we'll carry you."

Of the more than twenty large dogs, they only helped kill three; the rest were killed by the two children themselves. Their swift movements and decisive killings shocked the onlookers.

This reminded the patrol captain of his own twelve-year-old nephew, who was being protected at home by his older brother and sister-in-law like a child.

However, Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe are said to be under eleven years old.

"I can walk."

Jiang Qi reached out and helped his good brother up, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The temperature had dropped by at least ten degrees, but he and Lin Zhe were so sweaty from fighting that he didn't feel cold at all.

The two people and the dog followed behind the four adults, running quickly into the city.

At this time, the lightning and thunder were intense, and a strong wind was blowing.

On the highway leading to Shimen, Shenzhen, two tourist trams drove out of the city. When they encountered the first group of patrol officers, one of the trams stopped and took them back to the city.

The second vehicle quickly found the patrol captain and Qiqi and the others. When they finally entered the city and closed the stone gate, about two kilometers away from Ancheng, someone was anxiously looking around with binoculars.
