With grey-brown feathers, sharp beaks, and sharp claws, there was no doubt that the creature appearing in Wei Xuan’s telescope was a bird. What was even more alarming to Wei Xuan was that the birds were extremely large, and looked more like a kind of sparrow than an eagle or hawk!
“A mutant bird?!” Wei Xuan took a deep breath, feeling chills run down his spine. He had heard rumors about mutant animals, especially mutant birds, in his past life, but had never encountered them firsthand.
However, he was grateful that he had never encountered these creatures, as their level of difficulty seemed to be even more terrifying than zombies. After all, the initial zombies only had very simple attack patterns, and if humans were familiar with their behavior, it was relatively easy to avoid and escape.
But these mutant animals were different! They still had their pre-apocalyptic intelligence and nature, and many of them had become even smarter than before!
Wei Xuan considered himself an ordinary person with almost no combat power. He was able to survive among the zombies only because of his special ability, not his fighting skills!
Now, it was not the time to worry about collecting the remaining water. “Du Hang, let’s go,” he said. He needed to get back to his home immediately and seal the doors and windows to avoid being detected by these creatures!
In the previous base, people who could survive and escape back to the base after encountering mutant animals and mutant birds were extremely rare. These individuals often hid in deep buildings and waited until those creatures completely left before fleeing for their lives.
What’s even more frustrating is that these mutant animals possess a sense of smell and powerful vision that is on par with the zombies. If they are discovered and the animals are hungry and in need of prey, it would be extremely difficult for an average person to escape their pursuit.
Of course, if one is strong enough to fight them off, then there’s no need to worry. As long as one doesn’t have the bad luck of encountering a large group, winning the battle would result in having meat to eat!
…Yes, meat to eat.
Wei Xuan’s footsteps towards the direction of going downstairs couldn’t help but pause for a moment. He then cast a complex look towards the sky and reluctantly turned his head back, wanting to quickly go downstairs and hide in his room.
If there weren’t a large number of humans gathered together, these animals probably wouldn’t come looking for trouble on purpose. Therefore, as long as they hide well, they should be safe.
“Du Hang?” Wei Xuan took two steps forward, but he found the rope around his waist tightened. He turned his head to see that Duhang was still standing in the same spot without moving even a bit.
“Du Hang, let’s go. Let’s go back home.”

Wei Xuan took two steps forward, wanting to grab Duhang’s arm and bring him back. The black dots in the sky were getting closer and closer, and he had a feeling that those birds were flying in their direction!

When Wei Xuan saw his eyes, he was surprised and stunned, his mouth half-opened unconsciously as if he had lost the ability to close it.
He had thought many times about what the first formal conversation between him and Du Hang would be like if Du Hang recovered or regained human emotions. But he had never imagined that it would be on the roof, next to the basins filled with collected rainwater, just as the mutant birds were about to attack…
Du Hang looked quietly at Wei Xuan for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and looked at the rope connecting the two of them at the waist.
When his gaze fell on the rope, Wei Xuan suddenly felt his heart tighten, as if he had a premonition that Du Hang would tear the rope connecting them and turn away!
This idea made him feel like he was pushed off the rooftop, and a sense of inexplicable fear and emptiness seemed to invade his whole body in an instant.
But instead, this feeling made Wei Xuan stand still, unable to move or say a word.
He was even less sure if Du Hang could hear him now.
Suddenly, a bird chirping came from above, pulling the two people out of their trance.
Unconsciously, even Du Hang looked up and then turned his head to look at Wei Xuan again. Wei Xuan was once again surprised by Du Hang’s unusual behavior.
Du Hang suddenly reached out and picked up Wei Xuan, carrying him on his shoulders.
When Wei Xuan was about to ask him something, he suddenly felt himself leaping into the air!!!
Jumping from one rooftop to another, Du Hang seemed to have chosen the closest and highest position to those flying birds. After he landed, he suddenly looked up and roared!
Wei Xuan had heard many roars from zombies before, especially after they detected the presence of humans, but he had never heard such a powerful roar before. Well, maybe it was just his own imagination, but Du Hang’s voice was definitely the loudest he had ever heard from a zombie.
Wei Xuan turned his head but could only see Du Hang’s back. Although he had always known that Du Hang’s body became stronger and more robust after he turned into a zombie, seeing his back from this angle still gave him a feeling of extraordinary strength and protection.
After Du Hang’s roar, the birds in the sky obviously heard it and once again let out angry cries, diving down toward the direction where Du Hang was!
Wei Xuan was pressed against Du Hang, and it was almost impossible to see what was happening in the sky. However, he could clearly hear the anger in the bird’s cries and felt that there seemed to be some changes happening in Du Hang’s body.
The muscles in contact with Wei Xuan’s body twisted and writhed, becoming stronger and more robust in no time.
As the mutated birds cried out again, Du Hang slightly bowed his body. All the muscles on his body seemed to be gathering an inexplicable force.
Just when Wei Xuan was uncertain about what he was going to do, suddenly, Du Hang shot out like a cannonball!!
Wei Xuan, who was being carried on his shoulders, clearly felt a huge impact from his back… or should he say from his now highest-altitude buttocks position. The clothes on his back were lifted by the huge impact of the wind.
And in front of him, the rooftop and the ground of his residential area were receding at an astonishing speed.
Or rather, he was flying away from them at an astonishing speed.
Du Hang was actually carrying him toward the sky! He couldn’t fly!
Even if he wanted to fight those strange birds, he couldn’t wait for them to come down!
At this moment, Wei Xuan was deeply despising himself for the thought of not wanting to untie the rope. Carrying an adult to go bird hunting, if Du Hang could still use all his fighting power, then Newton and Einstein would jump out of their graves!
Just as Wei Xuan’s brain was going wild with imagination due to being far from the ground, Du Hang suddenly paused. While Wei Xuan was unaware of what had happened, a scream suddenly came from a nearby place, followed by a hot liquid splashing onto his back and waist, which had been exposed due to the strong wind blowing his clothes open.
He shuddered involuntarily and quickly turned his head, only to see a huge, black thing falling from beside him toward the ground. Meanwhile, Du Hang stepped on the thing and changed direction again in mid-air before rushing towards another direction!
Wei Xuan, on the other hand, stared in amazement at the large bird with half its body and one wing torn off, falling further and further away, making a deafening noise as it landed in the vegetable garden of his residential area.
After Du Hang turned to rush in another direction again, Wei Xuan listened to the loud flapping of wings, the shrill cries of the strange bird, and some striking sounds. Then, suddenly, a black object shot toward them from below.
Thinking that it was going to hit both of them, Wei Xuan felt his scalp go numb. However, the object missed them, making a “puff” sound as it hit something. Then, a pile of feathers fluttered down and another black shadow fell.
There was a chaotic sound of squeaking and chirping, along with the flapping of wings. Meanwhile, Wei Xuan fell down again.
At the same time, there was something black shooting up from the ground and striking something.
Could something have happened to Du Hang?! Otherwise, why would he suddenly fall down?!
While this thought flashed through his mind, Wei Xuan ignored the terror of falling and quickly turned his head to look at Du Hang again.
Du Hang’s back and head were almost entirely covered in blood, but at first glance, there seemed to be no signs of any wounds.
In the sky above, several huge black shadows flapped their wings and stumbled a few times before turning around and flying away.
“…they, they ran away?” With the almost whispering voice of Wei Xuan, a vibration suddenly came from his body. When he lowered his head, he saw that he and Du Hang had already landed safely…
So, in fact, Du Hang did not fall but landed after chasing away those strange birds?
Du Hang, who had been carrying Wei Xuan all along, suddenly bent down and gently put him down.
Wei Xuan, who had regained his senses, immediately looked at Du Hang facing him. His muscles were contorting and contracting in a very strange manner, and his terrifyingly long nails were slowly retracting, gradually becoming no different from usual…
I guess Du Hang’s midnight adventures have been him fighting Mutants then?
Might be one explanation
Protective boyfriend!!!
