Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 311 Extra: Jiang Xiaobai
"Xiaobai isn't here, but leave your things here and I'll give them to you."

For the first time in her life, Xiao Lan was turned away when she came to Yunxi Village. She happened to run into Jiang Qi, who was going out, at the gate and was stopped.

"Brother Qi."

"Now that you're back, why aren't you going back to school to register? Do you want to get expelled?"

Jiang Qi showed no mercy to Xiao Lan, scolded her sternly, and sent her away.

Watching Xiao Lan's dejected figure, Lin Zhe clicked his tongue and said to Jiang Qi, "Isn't this a bit much? After all, we've watched her grow up."

Lin Zhe's last sentence only fueled Jiang Qi's anger—
"He even knows I watched him grow up? You little brat, doesn't he know how good I've been to him? Now that he's all grown up and has nothing to lose, he even dares to make a move on Xiaobai."

Although Xiao Lan is only seventeen years old now, no, she'll be eighteen soon.

As a fellow man, Jiang Qi immediately noticed the clue in the way Jiang Xiaobai was looking at him.

You little bastard, you're not even fully grown yet and you dare to have such thoughts? Break his legs.

He seemed to have forgotten that he had secretly touched Song Xiaoxiao's hand when he was seventeen.

Oh, I forgot to mention, he and Song Xiaoxiao got their marriage certificate last year, renovated a two-story house in the village, and moved out of the Bai family villa to live their own little life.

Lin Zhe was with him; the houses they chose were right next to each other. Next to them were Yueyue and Gao Junyu, who had gotten married the earliest, and their child was already crawling.

Jiang Qi half-squatted down and opened the wooden box that Xiao Lan had brought. He was almost blinded by the light at first glance.

A box of sapphires—before the apocalypse, that would have been worth tens of millions.

With a bang, Jiang Qi slammed the box shut with a dark expression, got up, and took it back to his home.

Lin Zhe chuckled as he followed behind him. He knew why Jiang Qi reacted this way, not only because Xiao Bai liked this thing, but also because it resembled a betrothal gift.

Now sixteen years old, almost seventeen, Xiao Bai is nearly 180 cm tall. Her appearance combines the best features of Bai Li and Jiang Minglang, with fair skin and a beautiful face. Her special abilities are, needless to say, dual metal and wood elements.

As the little princess of Shenzhen, she is top-notch in every aspect.

But precisely because he is so outstanding, he is not even eighteen years old yet, and he has been repeatedly inquired about by various bases.

They naturally wouldn't go directly to Jiang Minglang, the doting father, to ask him; they asked Du Qiyan instead.

As the director of the Pengcheng Management Office and also one of Jiang Minglang's men, it was the most appropriate person to approach him.

But
Du Qiyan told them that Lao Jiang cherished this daughter very much and did not plan to let her marry out. If he met a suitable man in the future, he would bring her over to be his son-in-law.

Looking for a son-in-law?

Should they bring their son over to be a live-in son-in-law?
No, no, no, this isn't about saving face. Since the apocalypse, no family has many children, let alone those with both supernatural abilities and practical skills. Those children are all groomed by their families as heirs. If they're given to Jiang Minglang as a live-in son-in-law, what will happen to them?
When the news of the marriage proposal spread, it immediately dispelled many people's hopes. Nowadays, almost no established family would try to send their son to Shenzhen.

After all, it's easy to send them in, but it's probably very difficult to send them back.

As an observer, Lin Zhe previously thought that Xiao Lan was actually a good choice for Xiao Bai.

He was raised by Liu Ying, who is also Xiao Bai's aunt. The key point is that this kid is also dual-elemental and has strong abilities. Moreover, his love and tolerance for Xiao Bai is no less than that for his own brother, Jiang Qi.

But that was before. Now, those kids have run away to Country Y without permission.
To be honest, even he doesn't trust Xiao Lan anymore.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai, whom the two brothers were thinking about, was training his parrot in his own yard.

"You two blockheads! I've taken you on a free trip abroad, and you're still so useless. What's the point of keeping you two around?"

The day they returned, her father shot down two invisible mutated red eagles with a sniper rifle, but he said two others escaped.

Originally intending to make a contribution, he ended up attracting foreign eagles instead. How could Jiang Xiaobai not be angry?

So after she came out of the dark room, she did nothing else but train the two parrots every day, hoping they would fly out and find the escaped red eagle.

Unfortunately, these two are not ambitious birds. They've wasted their parents' good genes. All they do is eat and sleep, just like pigs.

Very angry!

Because Jiang Xiaobai was ordered to stay home and reflect on her actions and was not allowed to go out, she got into a fight with the two parrots and insisted on driving them out of the house so that they could go out and find the two red eagles.

Now, he was holding Bai Xuanfeng's chubby body with one hand and poking its head hard with one finger. "Do you know that my family doesn't raise good-for-nothings? I'm giving you three days. You must find those two eagles within three days, or I'll pluck all your feathers."

She poked her quite hard, and Bai Xuanfeng was in pain, so she opened her mouth and bit her. As a result, she was slapped twice without mercy, and one of the tufts of hair on her head fell out.

Feng Bao and Bai Jun, a married couple standing on a pole not far away, didn't even blink, pretending not to see anything.

Old Master Bai, standing under the eaves, was heartbroken and gasped for breath.

The 96-year-old man is still in good health. He usually feeds these parrots, and even the row of crows that live on the wall of his house.

Qiqi, Xiaobai, and Xiaomi, those three mischievous kids, would come over and tease them when they were in a good mood, but wouldn't even glance at them when they were busy.

Now it's good
Grandpa Bai finally couldn't help but say to Xiao Bai, "Don't force it. Erzai has never fought before, it has no experience."

Because they were too lazy to come up with names, everyone just called the two parrots Big Baby and Second Baby.

Huang Xuanfeng is the eldest son, and Bai Xuanfeng is the second son.

The old man felt sorry for the bird he had raised since it was a chick, so he stepped forward and snatched it from Xiaobai's hands, scolding, "If you want to find it, go out and find it yourself. Don't make things difficult for it."

Jiang Xiaobai looked heartbroken. "Grandpa, a doting mother spoils her son. It's because of you that he's become such a good-for-nothing."

"Nonsense, our second son is very smart, how is he useless?"

"Can't even catch a foreign eagle? Aren't you useless?"

The grandfather and grandson were arguing fiercely about whether their second son was good or bad.

The person involved took the opportunity to fly up the wall and play among the crows.

The eldest cub glanced at its arguing grandpa and Jiang Xiaobai, then at its younger brother, and finally at its parents who were completely ignoring them. It then spread its wings and flew towards the nearby orchard. Jiang Xiaobai caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of its eye and rolled its eyes in anger.

Two good-for-nothings, don't they know how to actively fight for such a good opportunity to learn?

Just like the big cub's special ability, it can command hundreds of birds to search, regardless of whether the red eagle can hide or not, it can definitely find it within a day.

After all, they can't stay invisible forever, right?

They need to land to rest and hunt for food to fill their stomachs.
Jiang Xiaobai thought that Dazai had run to the white orchard to avoid her, but little did she know that after entering the apple orchard, it flew away from the other side, near the back mountain.

When the old man got worried and the bird still hadn't returned by evening, Bai Li started using the green ivy that was climbing the orchard fence to search from every angle. When she didn't see the chubby yellow figure, she realized something was wrong.

Although Da Zai is older than Jiang Xiaobai, he has hardly ever gone out on his own. The only time he did was when he got into a fight with Er Zai and was slapped hard in the butt by Feng Bao, which made him so angry that he ran away from home.

However, it was brought back by Bai Jun in less than two hours.

This time, Jiang Xiaobai wanted to send the two of them out to find the Red Eagle, but not just to let them search. He planned to wrap a small green ivy around them for remote protection.

But now, before the pothos has even started to climb, it has already run away.

Jiang Xiaobai was now anxious, mainly because he was afraid that his grandfather might cause something else to happen if he got too worried.

She jumped up and dashed out of the house, saying, "I'm going out to find it."

But before she could even step out the door, she was tied up by a pothos vine and dragged back.

"You stay home and don't cause any trouble."

Jiang Xiaobai was afraid of her mother and really didn't dare to move again.

The old man had calmed down by now. He turned to look at the pet stand next to the pet room. Fengbao and Baijun were gone. Even the flock of crows that used to stand in a row on the wall had only two left, one on the left and one on the right, accompanying the two crows.

Yeah, it's nothing, Fengbao will definitely be able to find it.

Although the old man was no longer flustered, Jiang Xiaobai was still not completely at ease. She secretly slipped into her grandfather's room, took his phone, and called Liu Xiaolan.

She can't leave the house, but Xiao Lan can. She can ask him to take some people to help look for it; maybe they can find it soon.

The phone rang five times before being answered. Jiang Xiaobai immediately said rudely, "What are you doing? Why are you taking so long?"

However, there was no response from the other end for two seconds. Just as Jiang Xiaobai was getting impatient, he heard a slightly familiar voice say, "Is this Xiaobai? This is Qu Yang. Xiao Lan went out and didn't bring her phone."

Qu Yang is one of the orphans adopted by Liu Xu and Liu Ying, and also a reserve member being trained for the team. He is two years older than Xiao Lan, has a metal-type ability, is tall and thin, has fair skin, and handsome features.

One of the people Jiang Xiaobai once praised as "very handsome".

And he was indeed very handsome; in Jiang Xiaobai's eyes, he was second only to her brother.

"Brother Qu Yang, are you free right now?"

It's not a secret that the eldest son ran away from home; anyone who has time and is willing to help can go out and look for him.

After listening to her description, Qu Yang immediately said, "I'm fine now. There are eight people in the team. I'll lead them to search around the western wall first. If we don't find them, we'll leave the city."

"There's no need to go outside the city, just make sure it's not in the western half."

But things often turn out so coincidentally, the big cub really did come to the greenhouse area in the west, and even found a mutated red eagle in the cornfield there.

When Qu Yang led his men over, it was besieging the Red Eagle with a flock of mutated sparrows.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai's parrot was unharmed, Qu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took out his phone to notify Jiang Xiaobai.

What he didn't notice was that on a large tree not far behind them, sat two parrots, one yellow and one white.

The two of them watched calmly as the older cub led the bird to fight the eagle, showing no intention of going down to help.

A few days later, Jiang Xiaobai was released from confinement and immediately ran towards the western greenhouse area.

What a coincidence! Xiao Lan wasn't there when she asked for help the other day, and she happened to be away again today.

Seeing Qu Yang and the others busy in the yard, she walked up behind him without any hesitation, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother Qu Yang, thank you for that day. You helped us find Da Zai."

Qu Yang turned around and smiled shyly, "We're all family, no need to be so polite."

The man with dimples when he smiled caught Jiang Xiaobai's eye.

The young girl spoke without restraint, saying directly, "Brother Qu Yang, you look so handsome when you smile. How did you get those dimples?"

As she spoke, she poked Qu Yang's dimple with her finger, making his cheeks blush slightly, as if she had been teased.

Just then, the half-closed door was pushed open, and Xiao Lan strode in. Upon seeing this scene, she stopped in her tracks, her smiling face froze, and her azure eyes turned icy blue as she stared coldly at Qu Yang.

But the other person seemed not to see him, maintaining the same distance from Jiang Xiaobai and letting her poke his face.

"noob."

Although Xiao Lan was seething with anger inside, she remained calm on the surface, called out to Jiang Xiaobai in a low voice, and beckoned her over.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Xiaobai, confused, walked over and said casually, "I came just to thank Brother Qu Yang. There's nothing else. You can go about your business. I have to go back, or my mom will scold me again."

After saying that, he tried to walk past Xiao Lan and leave.

Xiao Lan's forehead veins throbbed. He grabbed her arm and said in a deep voice, "I'll take you."

He was furious, but he couldn't vent it because the girl was completely clueless. She wouldn't even glance at a handsome man, let alone stare at a woman for ages.

Even so, before leaving, he still turned and gave Qu Yang a meaningful look.

Their eyes met, their gazes locked, and a subtle tension seemed to ignite between them.
