“After we go back, should we go to Zone A first?” Looking at the sky dyed red by the sunset, Xu Song suddenly asked.
“Well, first make sure if our original residence is still empty, and then go to Zone A?” They had been away from the base for about a month. Although Elder Wu was in charge of that area and said it was all given to their small team, who knows what others might do if they find that the place has been unoccupied for a long time? If it’s empty, that’s the best. Xu Song didn’t want to deal with troubles among their own kind while facing the threat of migratory birds.
“Do you think… the base has come up with a way to deal with the migratory birds? After all, they got the news very early this time.” Xu Song was a bit puzzled. Even if they used all their abilities, as long as the birds flew high enough and kept dropping “bombs,” they would still be on the receiving end.
“They should have thought of a way to deal with it,” Yue Zheng was not too sure. After all, it’s not like the pre-apocalyptic era, where various technological means might not be developed smoothly. The evolution speed of the mutated animals was too fast, and a method that worked yesterday might not work when they woke up.
“What if they’re just passing by? After all, they are migratory birds… Oh, by the way, where do these birds usually inhabit?” Xu Song usually didn’t study natural creatures. He went to university in B City, and he didn’t remember seeing any migratory birds circling B City. Even in the so-called “river” in the city, he had never seen any water birds.
“They should usually inhabit the lakes in the north.” Yue Zheng was not too sure either. He had never been to the natural lakes in the north, but migratory birds usually lived in those places. “There are several well-known lakes and nature reserves to the north that I remember being introduced on TV.”
“After this is over, maybe we can go take a look…” Thinking of the small lake southwest of the city, after this period of warm weather, the creatures there should have increased, right?
“Okay.” If it’s confirmed that they can deal with the animals there, Yue Zheng doesn’t mind bringing his beloved there for a trip.
After dinner, camping. The group slept peacefully, preparing to report to the base early in the morning and go to Zone A to explain the situation.
People slept until midnight, and Xu Song and Yue Zheng woke up almost at the same time.
“Someone is coming.”
“Yeah. I heard some movement.” Yue Zheng got up, opened the door, and climbed down the ladder.
Half-asleep Tiancheng rubbed his eyes and sat up. “Dad… it seems like something is coming.”
“Yeah, Dad knows. You go back to sleep.” Xu Song hugged the sleepy little guy, watched him lie down, drew the curtain, and quietly went down with Yue Zheng.
“They are coming towards us.” There was only one team camping in this area, Xu Song’s team. The goal was clear. There was no loud conversation on the way, only occasional low whispers mentioning “motorhome” and “container.” What else could it be if not coming for them? “What’s flying in the sky?”

“Yeah, they’re coming for our cars and supplies.” Yue Zheng nodded with a stern expression. “The one with wings flew over us about an hour ago. At that time, I couldn’t be sure what it was, and he left quickly.”
It seemed that they wanted to rob the team returning to the base during the night, and they ended up choosing their team. Really… the journey back to the base has not been peaceful all along, almost encountering trouble wherever they go.
“How do we deal with them?” Xu Song seemed excited, showing a hint of eagerness. He had mostly battled against mutated animals before, rarely engaging in physical fights with humans. The only fight he had with a person was the time he was mistaken for a gigolo…
“Make sure how many people they have…” Yue Zheng’s words were interrupted as the car door behind him opened.
Two little heads popped out with cheerful smiles. “Dad, Dad, we want to fight!”
Behind them, Mother Xu also walked to the door, yawning. “Who is it? Who’s disturbing our sleep in the middle of the night?”
Back when they were at the base, whenever there were thieves trying to climb over the wall, Mother Xu would become irritable. If it weren’t for the bees being enough for defense, and the high walls around, plus the inconvenience of opening and closing the gate, she might have rolled up her sleeves and dealt with it directly.
The two exchanged a helpless look. They didn’t want to wake them up, but they ended up waking up on their own.
The group, under the cover of night, quietly advanced towards their destination.
“How far away are they? Any reaction from the other side?” Because there were too many types of ability users, no one knew how many abilities their enemies had. Therefore, when fighting against other ability users, most people would choose to ambush or quickly settle the fight to avoid the risk of facing unexpected abilities.
Moreover, the base did not allow conflicts and killings among ability users, making fights between them even more bloody and fierce.
“About three hundred meters away, no reaction from the other side… The mutant dog is still sleeping, and the other two animals haven’t reacted either.” A somewhat noisy voice came through the walkie-talkie.
“Proceed with the original plan. In five minutes, you are responsible for dealing with the mutant dog.”
Putting down the walkie-talkie, the person in the co-driver seat whistled casually. “Two container trucks, there should be quite a few things inside.”
“Boss, is there really good stuff in the car?”
“Afei saw when he investigated before. The traces left by those few cars were very deep, at least three times deeper than when they were empty.” As he spoke, the person subconsciously licked his lips.
“That mutant dog doesn’t look that great. It probably doesn’t have an ability; otherwise, it would have woken up long ago.”
“Isn’t that good? Just now, we were afraid that the noise from our cars would alert them, and we might have to abandon the cars and walk. Now it seems they haven’t woken up yet.” The people in the car confirmed that the other side had not awakened, and one by one, they became excited, losing the caution they had just now, laughing and joking.
“Bang!” Suddenly, the normally running car tilted, and the heavily overloaded vehicle almost hit a nearby tree.
“Damn, what’s going on?”
“Flat tire?”
“We told you not to sit so many people. What’s going on? Is it a flat tire?”
“Get off. If it doesn’t work, we’ll walk over. It’s not far.”
Someone opened a flashlight and shone it on the burst tire, staring wide-eyed in surprise. “What… What pierced it? Why are there so many punctures?!” Saying that, he quickly shone it on the ground nearby, searching for the culprit that punctured the tire.
“Did you find it? What punctured it?”
“…Nothing.” The person suddenly felt something was strange. How could the perfectly fine tire be punctured? And what about the thing that punctured the tire? Why was there nothing on the road?
The leader frowned and got out of the car, holding the walkie-talkie. “Action postponed, action postponed. The car has a flat tire, and we might be a little late.”
After saying this, there was no response from the other side for a long time.
“Afei, Afei?”
“What’s going on?”
“Afei is not responding…”
“Oh, has the five minutes passed? Has he already rushed up?” Another person suddenly realized.
“Really!” He cursed, and the leader waved his hand. “Hurry up, deal with the car later!”
In the soft grass nearby, Achi moved and sniffed, looking in the direction where the group was running. Tilting its head, blinking its round black eyes, it thought for a moment. Then, with swift steps, it ran towards the car, and after three bangs, Achi boldly exploded the remaining three tires of the car before lightly trotting back in the direction of the motorhome.
Since its evolution, Achi’s spikes had become extremely sharp. When it activated its metal-based ability, its power became even more formidable. There was almost nothing it couldn’t penetrate. In addition, it could create a protective film on the surface of its body. Not to mention a van, even the motorhome that Xu Song and the others had wouldn’t be able to crush it!
“They’re coming!” Tianyou smiled and leaned on the window. The lights inside the motorhome were off, but the window was slightly open. Tianyou waved his hand, and the jade bees flew out silently, using the flowers and grass by the road to hide their forms as they approached their target.
Since spring began, the queen bee had been working hard to produce more offspring, and now the jade bees had almost filled the entire hive. They had even expanded some more nests. The queen bee, unsure of the effectiveness of the jade bees against their kind, had kept them inactive during previous battles against insects. Now, they were being used to deal with the humans, and it seemed to be working quite well.
The group had just arrived at the spot where they could see the motorhome when they strangely found that the mutant dog Afei mentioned earlier was still sleeping obediently next to the motorhome.
Seeing the dog and the still dark motorhome, the leader suddenly realized that something was wrong. Just as he was about to order a retreat, he felt a pain in his back. Instantly, excruciating pain spread throughout his body, and he collapsed to the ground.
Xu Song looked at the group of looters rolling on the ground, feeling somewhat speechless. Tianyou expressed that in previous battles, he was never allowed to join, so this time he wanted to try. Tiancheng also shook his small bag used to carry seeds, patting his chest to assure that he would help Tianyou to make sure not a single bad guy escaped.
However, now, Tianyou only used Achi and the jade bees, and even Tiancheng didn’t get a chance to help. The group of people had completely lost their fighting ability.
Pets in action? Leaving the Abu and the ostriches aside, the hedgehog and the bees are working hard.
Taken out by a single child, lol!
Finally, Tianyou gets to play (with a little help from his buddies)! Hahahahaha!
Flying dude never had a chance either way, Pfft! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🌳🦮🦔🦗🐝
