Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 307 Frozen
Eleven years have passed, and this black python is much larger than when Bai Li first saw it.

I remember one time during a heavy rain, the animals across the Pingjiang Bridge went berserk, and they were all knocked into the river like dumplings. At that time, this python was down there picking up the scraps, swallowing them one by one, and I don't know how many they were.

Is that why I grew to have this physique?

Bai Li looked calmly at the black python.

Suddenly, she clenched her right fist, and the towering green ivy, as tall as the black python, suddenly rose higher and approached the black python.

The green ivy closest to the black python has white flowers as big as a washbasin, each bud unfolding to reveal a fang-like flower core inside.

The black python's green eyes narrowed, and its massive head slowly retreated.

It looked at Bai Li, then lowered its gaze to the two little 'ants' sitting on the ground.

Oh, now that its body is almost completely upright, and with the green ivy blocking the view, it can no longer see the two little 'ants' clearly.

but
The black python seemed to realize that the two little 'ants' were the children of the woman in front of it.

By the time Jiang Minglang arrived at the scene at breakneck speed, the standoff between Bai Li and the black python had ended. The giant snake had just sunk into the emerald lake, and even with his excellent eyesight, he could only see half of its dark head.

It seemed to have some scales on it, and when the sunlight shone on it, it reflected a few specks of white light.

Jiang Minglang saw his wife standing safely on the ivy, then turned to look for his little one.

"Jiang, Xiao, Bai!"

Jiang Minglang's face was so black it could drip ink. He strode over, bent down and picked up his precious daughter from the ground. Without caring whether he felt sorry for her or not, he slapped her bottom several times.

"Dad, I was wrong."

Jiang Xiaobai knew she had gotten herself into serious trouble this time, and didn't dare mention the excuse she had agreed on with Xiao Lan beforehand. Even though her buttocks hurt terribly, she endured it, only looking at her father with teary eyes.

He admitted his mistake quickly and with a good attitude.

Jiang Minglang knew she was faking it, but he couldn't bring himself to do it again, mainly because he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He tapped her forehead hard and said, "You've really messed up today. If your mom punishes you later, don't call me. Also, your brother will be back soon. He said that from now on, you can train with him whenever you're not in school, understand?"

Jiang Xiaobai hadn't even recovered from the bad news that her mother was going to punish her when she suddenly heard that her brother was going to scold her!

Jiang Xiaobai:
No, didn't her brother just leave? Wasn't he supposed to stay in Kyoto for three months?
Why are you back so soon?
That's right. While Jiang Qi was counting down the days and missing his beloved little sister, Jiang Xiaobai was having so much fun that she didn't think about her brother at all. She just felt like her brother had left yesterday and then came back today.

It was too fast, like a day trip to Kyoto.

On the other side, Bai Li watched the black python sink to the bottom of the lake. She slowly climbed down from the top of the green ivy and stood by the lake, staring at the center of the lake for a long time.

With a final wave of his hand, the green ivy surrounding the lake all took root in the soil, instantly transforming the area around the lake into a world of green ivy.

Green leaves and white flowers sway gently in the breeze, a delightful sight.

Of course, this is pleasing to the eye for Bai Li, but for the black python that has already sunk to the bottom of the lake, it is a different story.

It's been imprisoned by this woman!

That's outrageous! Did I hurt your cub?

On the contrary, it was those two little 'ants' that, after arriving here, attacked and scratched its snake offspring.
Back then, it thought it should have swallowed her whole when it first met her, since she wasn't so dangerous then and looked quite ordinary.

But the black python remembered that the woman had a bird and a dog with her at the time. Regardless of the dog's behavior, the bird was extremely fierce.

At that time, it had just mutated and was just hovering on the road, looking a bit lost, not knowing where to go. The dead bird then gathered a flock of birds to peck at it, a huge swarm, but luckily there were no eagles.

Thinking of this, the black python immediately suppressed the idea of ​​trying to surface and confront Bai Li again.

Oh well, let her surround it if she wants. At worst, we'll just stay off the lake.

Besides, she couldn't stop it from leaving if it wanted to. This isn't a dead lake; it's connected to Pingjiang and other rivers. It's just that other places might not be as comfortable as this lake.

The black python thought it had already compromised with Bai Li, and that from now on, they would not invade each other's territory or provoke each other.

However, to its surprise, its lake was sealed off just one day later!

It's shut down!

It's frozen!
Even the whole thing turned into an ice lump!
What the hell
Leaving aside the fact that Jiang Qi froze Biyue Lake and the black python, let's just talk about how Jiang Xiaobai was taken back to Pengcheng by her parents, along with a small blue snake that was also taken back. They hadn't forgotten about the two sacks of snakes.

The burlap sacks the children carried weren't particularly large, but they weren't small either; they were at least half the size of the large burlap sacks adults usually carry.

One of the sacks was full, and the other was only half full. That was the one Jiang Xiaobai was holding, because she had picked and chosen, only grabbing the small red-headed snakes and stuffing them inside. However, she had knocked out many more, and when Bai Li arrived, the grass in Biyue Park was covered with them.

Black, white, yellow, green—a riot of colors, it's quite creepy.

This is why the black python was startled out of the lake. The child's use of supernatural powers to catch the snake was already loud enough, and then she slapped the snake repeatedly, which was simply intolerable.

Unfortunately, the brat had too much backing and couldn't get revenge.

Bai Li originally wanted to take Jiang Xiaobai home first, but she was also curious about whether the one that bit Liu Xu was among the many they had caught.
So in the end, he followed Xiao Lan to the hospital to find Dr. Duan, who was skilled in snake venom.

Fortunately, the little snake with a red head and a little blue in the center was indeed found.

Even so, Xiao Lan was still severely scolded by Liu Ying.

This kid is incredibly daring. Many adults are cautious and apprehensive when they go to Biyue Park, but he goes and even uses his superpowers to catch snakes with Jiang Xiaobai.

Xiao Lan was taken home by Liu Ying, and Jiang Xiaobai obediently followed her mother back to Yunxi Village.

Before I even got home, I heard a loud shout: "Jiang Xiaobai!"

Bai Li parted ways with Jiang Minglang at the hospital and, instead of having anyone drive her home, deliberately took Jiang Xiaobai with her on foot.

The brat sighed all the way, and she reached her limit. She glanced at her sideways and said, "Even your brother wasn't as difficult to manage as you when he was a kid."

Before the words had even faded, she heard her brother's voice.

The mother and daughter turned around at the same time and saw a head sticking out of the passenger window of a military green jeep not far away, waving and shouting at them, "Mom, Jiang Xiaobai, I'm back."

That grinning face with its teeth showing looks incredibly silly.

Jiang Xiaobai thought to himself, "Is it hard to take care of an idiot?"

The next second, she jumped three feet high, waving her arms and shouting, "Brother, brother, I missed you so much!"

Then, with its short legs, it ran towards the jeep. Oh dear, it doesn't have to walk anymore.

The car stopped, and Jiang Qi got out. He strode forward, scooped up his younger sister, and tossed her into the air. "Hey? Jiang Xiaobai, have you gained weight again?"

"Nonsense, I've lost 0.5 pounds since last week."

Jiang Qi scoffed, "Half a pound would be gone in a single pee."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes widened with excitement, and he turned to Bai Li, shouting, "Mom, Mom, my brother swore! He just swore!"

Jiang Qi's face darkened. "You little tattletale, you can even tattle on this to Mom?"

Jiang Qi didn't know what other people's second children were like, but his own was genuinely good to him when they were together, but when they turned their backs on their mother, he would betray her without hesitation, showing no brotherly or sisterly affection whatsoever.

Little rascal!
To be honest, Bai Li really missed her son after not seeing him for three months.

After looking him up and down and seeing that nothing had changed, he nodded.

Then, pointing at Jiang Xiaobai, he said to him, "This brat almost lost her life today. From now on, you keep an eye on her and don't let her cause any more trouble."

After hearing about Jiang Xiaobai's feat today, Jiang Qi poked her forehead and scolded her, "You've gotten so bold! You even dared to catch a poisonous snake. Do you really think the leather jacket Dad made for you is armor? What if a snake crawled into your boot?"

That brat is really reckless; her little boots weren't even tied up properly, and a snake as thick as a thumb could really have crawled inside.

With snow approaching, animals going out, and plants possessing supernatural abilities, the next few days are definitely not a good time to go out.

However, that giant python almost ate Jiang Xiaobai?

Jiang Qi turned his head to look in the direction of Biyue Lake, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

The temperature plummeted the next day. Although it hadn't snowed yet, the gloomy sky was quite irritating.

At this time, under normal circumstances, no one would leave the city. Even those living in the city would only deal with a few plots of land in front of their homes in an emergency.

However, Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe secretly slipped out of the East Gate early in the morning. The two rode their bicycles and sped all the way to Bishui Park. After parking their bicycles outside the park, they walked slowly towards Bishui Lake.

Because of yesterday's turmoil, coupled with today's low temperatures, the two walked in without encountering a single snake.

When Jiang Qi reached the shore of Biyue Lake, he saw green ivy climbing around the lake and clinging to the trunks of various trees.

He walked closer and reached out to touch the small white flower. The flower shrank back, folding its petals and curling itself into a bud. At the same time, a thin leaf darted over and wrapped around his hand.

Jiang Qi let the leaf wrap around his wrist without taking it off. He squatted by the lake with it on, then reached out his other hand and dipped it into the water.

Soon, the lake water turned white at a visible speed, freezing into a solid. Along with the small fish and shrimp, or even the giant python and other snakes inside, everything inside was frozen in that instant, becoming a crystal-clear ice sculpture just like the lake water.

Actually, the python was aware of what was happening before it was frozen into an ice sculpture. It wanted to break through the ice and it had the ability to do so. At the very least, it could have swum out through the outlet of the river below.

But damn it, it was paralyzed the moment it moved. Tiny purple electric currents spread wildly in the lake water, not very strong, so it didn't pay much attention.

It was unexpected that after being paralyzed for only a few seconds, the lake water was completely frozen, including itself, turning it into a real frozen snake.

Jiang Qi, squatting on the shore, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, clapped his hands, stood up, and then leaped onto the ice, sliding far away in a flash.

"Let's get a couple of pairs of roller skates and turn Pingjiang into an ice rink."

Lin Zhe stood on the shore, not joining Jiang Qi in his madness.

He looked at the frozen, emerald lake, then at Jiang Qi's unchanged expression, and asked suspiciously, "Your superpower has upgraded again?"

"Huh? You think you got promoted?"

Jiang Qi returned after a quick lap, checked his body, and shook his head. "I don't feel anything, but freezing this lake was definitely not difficult."

In the past, although such a large lake could freeze, it would inevitably exhaust his supernatural abilities, causing his face to turn pale and his body to become weak.

Unlike now, I hardly feel anything.

Recalling his several matches against them in Kyoto, he always gave it his all, exhausting his supernatural abilities. After repeating this several times, his supernatural abilities naturally improved.

Lin Zhe called to him, "Let's go see how Uncle Liu is doing."

I heard that Xiao Lan and Jiang Xiaobai came here yesterday to catch snakes for Uncle Liu. Fortunately, they found the little venomous snake that bit him. Now they are just waiting for Dr. Duan to prepare the antidote serum for him.

When the two arrived at the hospital, Dr. Duan had just finished injecting Liu Xu with serum, but Liu Xu was still unconscious and had not woken up.

Liu Ying saw the two of them and grinned.

After asking about the situation, Jiang Qi handed over the gift he had brought for the two of them: a laptop computer.

This kind of thing wasn't rare before the apocalypse, but it has gradually disappeared in recent years. Now, finding a usable one is harder than climbing to heaven.

However, with the network expected to be restored last month, the electronics factory in Kyoto, which had been preparing for half a year, officially started production.

The notebook that Jiang Qi gave to Liu Ying was a new product from this factory.

Liu Ying accepted it with a look of surprise, wanting to pat Jiang Qi's head like she did when they were little. But as she raised her hand, she realized that the boy was too tall and she could no longer reach his head.

"Thank you."

Liu Ying didn't stand on ceremony with her nephew. Although their relationship had never been officially defined, everyone had long understood it, so whether it was confirmed or not didn't matter.

"By the way, you haven't heard yet, have you? He Ningzhu is dead."

Ever since that woman was imprisoned for persecuting Xiao Lan, Liu Ying has been keeping a close eye on her.

She knew that Wang Zhicheng would definitely find some excuse to release her again, and then their family would be reunited, and the past would be wiped clean.

The idea was good, but unfortunately He Ningzhu was not ambitious enough.

Having lived a life of luxury for several years, He Ningzhu couldn't bear to go through the hardships of clearing land like everyone else.

So before Liu Ying could even think of a way to make her make a mistake and stay for two more years, she herself got into an argument and accidentally injured someone.

So, what was originally planned as her release after six months had to be extended by another year.

Before the year was even over, she got into another argument with the prison guards because she was disobedient, and was sentenced to another six months in prison.

The repeated complaints made her extremely resentful, and in addition, to avoid suspicion, Wang Zhicheng had not visited her, leaving her feeling deeply resentful.

Last month, she got into another fight with the woman she had previously injured, and as a result, someone used chopsticks to stab her through the eye and into her brain.

I'm going to Changsha tomorrow, so there might be a break in updates. But it's almost over, and I'm already thinking about how to end it.
