The originally tiny Chihuahua had now grown much larger than before the apocalypse but was still the size of a medium-sized dog. Its bulbous eyes were filled with a desire to attack, and even upon seeing Abu, it showed no signs of backing down.
Abu straightened his body, emitting a threatening growl, while the Chihuahua mirrored the same posture, its little buttocks sticking up high. Its sharp teeth were stained with blood and shreds of meat.
Abu didn’t flinch even for a moment. Facing such a small-sized dog, it would be embarrassing if he were to back down.
Seeing the car stop, Mother Xu walked worriedly to the driver’s cabin and noticed the obviously mutated Chihuahua. Her heart couldn’t help but race.
Suddenly, several crisp barks came from the Chihuahua’s mouth, and the same barking could be heard from the direction where the two fleeing vehicles had gone, it was calling for reinforcements!
“Abu,” Yue Zheng assessed the situation, opened the car door, and commanded Abu. He followed suit and stepped out of the car.
Xu Song looked back at his mother and said, “Mom, stay in the car, don’t get out. Xiao Shu, protect the car.” After speaking, he also got out of the car.
Mother Xu wanted to reach out and stop him, but in the end, she stopped herself from doing anything unnecessary or saying anything extra. Mo Tianyou patted Mother Xu’s hand and said, “Grandma, Dad and the others are amazing!”
Mo Tiancheng patted his own chest and said, “I’m also amazing with Tianyou!” As he spoke, he held his own combat pouch and half of his body stuck out, ready to attack at any moment.
The Chihuahua was extremely agile, dodging left and right, making it difficult for Abu to catch it. When it saw Yue Zheng getting out of the car, it opened its mouth and sprayed out a fireball!
When the fireball approached, Yue Zheng’s body actually disappeared from its original position and reappeared five steps away.
A animal with an ability?!
Xu Song raised an eyebrow. Along the way, most of the animals they had encountered had only undergone changes in their physical size. Apart from the rhinoceros they had seen in City S that seemed to have gained abilities, they hadn’t encountered any other animals with abilities. But now, this Chihuahua had indeed spewed out a fireball!
Just as the Chihuahua once again jumped out of Abu’s attack range and was about to open its mouth to launch another fireball, a black figure flashed by, and the Chihuahua’s body was severed.
Yue Zheng furrowed his brow as he picked up the severed Chihuahua, which he had just cut in half, and turned to look at Xu Song. “Take this dog back to the car.”
A Chihuahua with abilities was indeed something out of the ordinary, and perhaps they could discern what made it different from ordinary animals by examining its corpse.
The animals summoned by the Chihuahua had now returned. Abu, who had been irritated by the Chihuahua, bared his teeth, straightened his body, and charged into the midst of those animals.
Yue Zheng also swung the military dagger in his hand and followed Abu into the fray.

Mother Xu pressed against her pounding heart. She had long suspected that both her son and Yue Zheng were ability users. She had also seen the ability users demonstrating their powers in the base, especially before the base was established, where almost everyone among the survivors in the airport terminal had witnessed who had abilities and what kind of abilities they possessed.
But she had never seen a battle between ability users before.
My heart was in my throat as Abu and a mutated wolf tumbled together, causing a loud crash that brought down a store. Yue Zheng’s figure appeared and disappeared among several mutated animals, while Xu Song controlled an orange fire dragon, systematically eliminating the remaining creatures.
Suddenly, the tendrils of a small tree extended through an open window, covering the car’s roof with green leaves. Pale yellow flowers bloomed abundantly on the branches, trembling slightly as their yellow petals fluttered down, enveloping the entire vehicle in a romantic floral haze.
From the original position of the flowers, green fruits emerged, and Mo Tianyou pulled Mo Tiancheng’s hand, pointing upwards.
A seed fell beside the car, taking root and sprouting, instantly covering the streets and houses with ivy.
Xu Song also sensed the threat from above, and Yue Zheng, not to mention, felt the flapping wings as if they were right beside him.
The two of them hastened their pace. Yue Zheng swiftly took down a mutated monkey, then leaped to Abu’s side. Xu Song turned around with his back facing Yue Zheng. The orange fire dragon emitted a burst of blue smoke, disappearing from view and replaced by several orange flames, each about the size of a ping pong ball, shooting towards the mutant birds attempting to attack from above!
“Pu pu pu…” The green fruits perched on the car roof unleashed a barrage like a machine gun, causing the birds to plummet to the ground, entangled and immobilized by the evergreen vines covering the ground and rooftops.
“Oh my God…” Finally, Mother Xu sighed, no wonder they can go all the way from city Y to city B. It’s no wonder they heard almost daily reports in the base about entire squads being wiped out or half of a team being injured or killed…
With such a vast number of mutated animals, it’s nearly impossible for ordinary people to survive.
If she wasn’t at the base in City B, where the order was most stable from the very beginning, she doubted… if she would have been able to survive till now.
Soon, they found that the few humans on the ground were not something they could deal with, and the birds that were still in the sky wisely circled in the sky and flew in other directions.
After Yue Zheng dealt the final blow to a mutated raccoon, he stood up straight and surveyed the entire “battlefield.”
Xu Song confirmed with a nod, “Nothing left.” Those who could run had already fled, and the remaining ones had been taken care of by the few of them.
“Alright, let’s continue deeper inside.” Yue Zheng hadn’t expected the battle to go so smoothly today. He still remembered the last time the team encountered that flock of sparrows, where several glass windows on the vehicle were shattered.
“Is Abu injured?” Xu Song patted the wounded Abu who had approached him.
Abu shook his fur, still stained with blood, and let out a whimper. Mo Tianyou quickly stuck his little head out of the car window, “Abu’s waist was scratched by the big wolf!”
Returning to the side of the car, the small tree didn’t immediately retract its branches. With a trembling motion, brilliant green light shot out, enveloping Abu. After about five minutes, the wounds on Abu’s body caused by the wolf were completely healed.
“Let’s give it a bath.”
Upon hearing Xu Song’s voice, the small tree raised its branches and formed an “umbrella” shape above Abu’s head. Water sprayed from it like a shower, cleansing the bloodstains from Abu’s fur. In no time, his body was completely washed clean.
They gathered the scattered bodies of various mutated animals on the ground, mainly the attacking birds and a few small-sized mutant beasts.
Loading the prey into the car, Yue Zheng started the vehicle once again and drove deeper inside. Abu shook off the remaining water stains, his steps light as he trotted alongside the car.
Mother Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and joined her son in dealing with the mutant animals.
“Did you come all the way here like this?”
Mother Xu’s words caught Xu Song off guard for a moment, but he soon understood her concern and smiled, saying, “More or less. It was just the two of us at first, and we weren’t very proficient in using our abilities. It got better when we got the little tree, and then with Tiancheng and Tianyou’s sensing abilities, the journey became much easier.”
“Then why were you being chased by giant cockroaches?” Mother Xu was a little annoyed. Although she could imagine the difficulties they faced, witnessing the dangers they encountered during the battle today and recalling what the kids had told her, she couldn’t help but grasp the gravity of the situation.
Xu Song was taken aback for a moment, realizing that he had been betrayed by those two little rascals. He glared at them and explained to Mother Xu with a smile, “We didn’t expect it either, you know? Those monsters were lured out by someone else, and we happened to run into them.”
Mother Xu sighed, feeling even more uneasy. She could contribute by handling logistics here, but what if they encountered danger? What help could she provide?
They plucked the soft feathers from the birds, discarding the rest out of the car window. These feathers were too common for them, so there was no need to keep so many.
Looking at the mutated animals, the largest one was the wolf that had tumbled with Abu earlier. Although it was slightly smaller than Abu, it was still impossible to fit it into the car. For now, they hung it at the back of the car using ropes, considering it as Abu’s food for the next few days. Inside the car, there were a few small-sized mutant beasts as well.
But now, Xu Song and Mother Xu realized that their skinning skills were not up to par.
“Brother Yue, let me drive.” Xu Song happily ran to the driver’s cabin.
Yue Zheng raised an eyebrow. “What’s the matter?”
“Skinning,” Xu Song confessed very honestly.
They stopped the car, and Xu Song took the wheel, while geting his head patted. “Just keep going straight on this road. There’s a large shopping mall ahead. Let’s see if there’s anything useful inside.”
Xu Song nodded and started the car, continuing forward on the bumpy road. Yue Zheng walked to the back and took over from Mother Xu, who was in the process of skinning a spotted deer, deftly removing its hide. “Take a break, Auntie. It’ll be done soon.”
Mother Xu rubbed her waist and looked at Yue Zheng, who was skillfully handling the prey. She sat down on the nearby sofa and sighed, “Just call me Mom.”
Yue Zheng’s hand paused, surprised as he looked at Mother Xu.
“What’s wrong? Don’t want to?” Mother Xu glared at him. She had even nodded and entrusted her son to him. How could he refuse?
“Mom,” Yue Zheng immediately responded, but his voice trembled a bit. He now completely understood the true meaning of Xu Song always describing his mom as “formidable.”
Mother Xu smiled and let out a long breath. “He’s still like a child. I’ll be relying on you more in the future.”
Yue Zheng shook his head and continued handling the prey. His facial expression softened, devoid of the sharpness from the previous battle. “Xiao Song is really good.” Although he seemed somewhat fragile, with him by his side, Yue Zheng could feel that unique warmth emanating from him at any time, making it hard to let go.
Seeing his expression, Mother Xu knew that he genuinely wanted to be with her son. Suddenly, the exhaustion from before vanished. She stood up abruptly, hands on her hips. “We’ll have wolf meat for dinner! A wolf is all treasure. Abu can’t finish such a large wolf by himself, so we’ll all eat together!”
Yue Zheng silently glanced at his mother-in-law and continued to handle another piece of prey. Well, it’s not a big deal to have a little less wolf meat. They could feed Abu the smaller prey instead.
After properly preserving several pieces of prey that they wouldn’t eat immediately with salt, Yue Zheng returned to the driver’s cabin, took over the steering wheel, and let out a long sigh.
Xu Song looked at him, then turned his head to see his mom, who seemed to have inexhaustible energy in the car. He asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong with her now?”
Yue Zheng glanced at him and replied, “She said we’ll have wolf meat for dinner.”
“Eating wolf meat?” With so many prey, why did she specifically mention wolf meat?
“She said, wolf meat is a great tonic.”
