Xu Song’s face turned red and then blue, still unsure how to refute or correct Luo Wen’an’s wild imagination. Meanwhile, Su Daji, who had just finished his convenience break, yawned and walked back. When he saw Xu Song there, the same smug smile appeared on his face as Luo Wen’an’s.
“Hey, last night, when I finished my night shift, I wanted to wake you two up, but someone insisted on letting you rest in peace. Ended up keeping watch alone till dawn.”
Now, Xu Song’s face turned completely red. He opened his mouth to say something in response, but Liu Shishi, who was cooking noodles, interrupted without looking up, “You heterosexuals shouldn’t discriminate against homosexuals!”
“I’m not discriminating. As long as my girlfriend isn’t gay,” Luo Wen’an replied, taking his bowl and pulling Liu Shishi’s hand towards him, giving her a peck. His voice was crisp and loud enough to be heard two miles away.
…Who’s gay?! Damn it! I’m straight!
“I…” Before the words could come out, two large bowls were placed in front of Xu Song.
Liu Shishi remained calm, “These are for you and your husband.” She sat beside Luo Wen’an, took the bowl he handed her, and began eating.
“Are they ready?” Yue Zheng returned calmly after washing his face, as if he hadn’t heard the conversation.
Did he not hear? Xu Song couldn’t believe it. He could hear the sounds of the team’s movements and conversations from several hundred meters away. How could he not hear them talking at such close range?!
But seeing Yue Zheng’s calm expression, Xu Song suppressed the urge to retort. He didn’t want to dwell on such trivial matters. They needed to conserve their energy for the journey ahead. And since Yue Zheng didn’t react, he must be following the principle of staying upright and not fearing false accusations, right?
Right! I won’t pay attention to them! I have nothing to feel guilty about!
With that realization, Xu Song handed the bowl to Yue Zheng and sat beside him to eat. Suddenly, he met the mischievous gazes of Su Daji and Luo Wen’an, and then he reacted with surprise, what did Liu Shishi say? Something about him and his husband?! Damn it! Even if they were joking, he was definitely on top!
“Here, have more meat.” Yue Zheng placed a piece of meat in Xu Song’s bowl. No need to ask, it must have been done by him.
Annoyed, Xu Song turned to look at Yue Zheng, assessing his height, his resolute appearance, his terrifying stamina… Well, normal people wouldn’t think he was the one being dominated, so it must be him being dominated, right?!
Lowering his head, Xu Song ate, with only his forehead visible outside the bowl, glowing red.
Xu Song believed that he simply didn’t want to argue with fellow travelers he wasn’t yet familiar with about such meaningless matters. But in fact, was it that he didn’t bother refuting? Or that he didn’t want to refute at all? Who knows?

The five of them continued in silence. Xu Song noticed that Su Daji and Luo Wen’an were a bit further away from their side. He complained to Yue Zheng in a low voice, “Why didn’t you wake me up when you took the night shift?”
“You’ve only recovered from your injuries, but you haven’t fully regained your blood volume. Wait until you’ve fully recovered,” Yue Zheng replied openly. Hearing him say that, Xu Song’s feverish face cooled down a bit. Of course, he had his reasons!
Just as he was about to thank Yue Zheng, the trio came over without any warning. “Yue Zheng, let’s speed up a bit and try to catch up with the people ahead.”
“Why?” the two were puzzled.
Luo Wen’an pointed to a nearby intersection where a small shop was located. “You see, there’s a T-shaped intersection over there. That shop doesn’t even have doors or windows left. The people ahead must have ransacked it. We still have at least three to five days of travel before reaching S City, and our water supplies are running low. If we don’t replenish our resources soon, we won’t be able to make it.”
Since joining this group, they had encountered this situation several times. Previously, Xu Song didn’t pay much attention because he had hunting skills, but now, aside from everything else, water was a big problem.
Xu Song and Yue Zheng also hesitated. It made sense. Each of them only had a few bottles of water in their backpacks, and Little Tree couldn’t use its abilities openly. If it were just the two of them, it would be manageable. Others couldn’t see how much they were carrying, but now that they were teaming up with Su Daji and Luo Wen’an, they wouldn’t be able to hide their supplies.
“Alright, let’s increase our speed a bit,” Yue Zheng decided. “But not too fast. Xu Song hasn’t fully recovered from his injuries.”
“Okay, I know you care about him. We won’t rush as if our lives depended on it,” Luo Wen’an raised an eyebrow. Even if they wanted to hurry, they wouldn’t do it recklessly since Liu Shishi’s stamina was average at best.
Su Daji grinned, “Injured…?” He deliberately glanced below Xu Song’s waist.
After enduring it for the whole morning, Xu Song finally exploded, “Let’s be careful on the road. If one of those wolves sees the unparalleled beauty of Lady Daji and captures her to be their wife, it would be a huge loss.”
“Tsk, even if I get caught, I’ll be the one on top!”
“If you say you’ve been ‘caught,’ who will give you the chance to be on top?”
“I think if someone catches people, they’ll probably catch you first. Don’t forget, your face is whiter, and your eyes are bigger than Shishi’s…”
“Get lost! You two gays fighting for attention, don’t drag your old lady into this!”
“Luo… Luo Wen’an, control your tigress!”
“Serves you right.”
The five of them playfully bickered as they walked forward. Their pace wasn’t fast, covering only about three to four kilometers in an hour. By slightly increasing their speed, they could gradually catch up with most of the people ahead.
As they passed by the small shop, it was as expected. The walls were still standing, but even the roof beams had vanished. Doors and windows were long gone.
During the noon break, while most people were resting and preparing at the same spot, the five of them simply ate some instant food and set off again.
Along the way, the mutated pets followed their respective owners closely, resembling small mountains and giving off a strong oppressive feeling.
Next to a hybrid mutated dog sat a chubby man, sweating profusely and his face covered in oil. The dog was not small in size but obviously couldn’t bear the weight of its tonnage owner. Three slender and beautiful women were also present beside the man. One was roasting meat, another massaging his shoulders, and the third one kneading his legs.
Liu Shishi was twirling a large cotton swab, constantly rolling up her arms. “This is all I get, not even worth serving for free. This is beyond shameless.”
The remaining four men silently nodded in agreement.
Liu Shishi’s voice wasn’t very loud, but one of the three women heard it. She was currently massaging the chubby man’s shoulders and, upon hearing Liu Shishi’s comment, stood up angrily and pointed at Liu Shishi, cursing loudly, “Which slut is being shameless?!”
Liu Shishi, with a smile on her face, turned to her boyfriend and nudged him with her elbow. “Look, the slut is insulting you and me.”
The woman saw Liu Shishi stop and scrutinized her from head to toe, then sneered, “With this appearance, no figure, no chest, no buttocks, who would be interested in you?”
Liu Shishi unwillingly raised her left hand and gave the woman the middle finger.
The woman became furious, pushing the chubby man beside her. “Yang Ge, she insulted you and insulted me!”
The chubby man had already noticed the five of them and saw that Liu Shishi wasn’t a particularly attractive woman, without makeup, she looked like an average young girl with a small nose and eyes, not as beautiful as the three women beside him.
The chubby man patted his large dog and commanded, “Go!” It seemed that ever since he had a mutated pet, he often did such things. The dog growled, revealing its sharp teeth, and charged towards the five of them.
Although these mutated pets still retained memories of their owners, they were driven by their most primitive instincts. Anyone who was commanded by their owner to attack would eventually become its food. So, whenever the dog heard someone provoking its owners, the dog instinctively got prepared to attack at any moment.
The faces of the five people turned serious. Luo Wen’an drew his dagger from his waist and swiftly moved forward like a gust of wind. Yue Zheng didn’t make a move; he was curious about the combat abilities these three people had developed over the past few days.
If there were two or more mutated pets, it might not be easy, but with only one, Luo Wen’an and the others should be able to handle it.
“Puff, puff, puff” chunks of rocks were thrown by Su Daji. His strength wasn’t enough, but his accuracy was excellent. Each rock was aimed at the dog’s eyes.
Liu Shishi crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking disdainfully at the large dog. What kind of dog is this? Luo Wen’an alone could handle it! If it were her, this dog wouldn’t stand a chance!
Of course, it wouldn’t stand a chance. Once she used her ability, not only the dog, but anyone with sharp ears would faint, regardless of friend or foe!
Blood splattered, and the big dog whimpered as it fell backward, landing next to the chubby man and his companions, splashing them with blood.
“Perfect timing, it just so happens that we are out of meat. Let’s just slaughter it, shall we? It’s been a while since I’ve eaten dog meat.” Luo Wen’an grinned and licked his knife.
“Sounds good, Big Brother Yue has a big pot, perfect for making hot pot.” Su Daji echoed, matching their excitement as if they were really going to butcher and skin the dog.
“Don’t… don’t touch my precious baby!” The chubby man was initially stunned. The dog’s eyes turned into two bloody holes, and its legs trembled before it lay down, whimpering pitifully. It was heart-wrenching.
“I… I still have something to eat. It’s my fault for not being careful. Please spare me, gentlemen!”
The chubby man had been dazed, having forgotten the formidable abilities of the ability users they had encountered along the way while enjoying the comfortable life, the envious and jealous gazes of others, and the pursuit of several girls trailing behind him.
But now…
Poor 🐕 with an owner like that its life will 🔚 just like that..
Right?! 😭

Okay, I know it’s survival of the fittest but poor puppy!
Fujoshi alert! Thank you
