Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 68: Feng Bao is so awesome

Considering that once we are on the road, there may be unexpected situations like before, so since I can cook in the morning, I simply steamed yesterday's shepherd's purse mixed with flour and salt.

Because the pot was not big, it took three pots to finish steaming.

Even though they had just had dumpling soup in the morning, Bai Li and Zeng Sujie couldn't resist the aroma of shepherd's purse. They mixed it with some chili oil and ate a bowl each.

Seeing that the two of them were eating with relish, Zhou Hui also ate a bowl.

The rest was put into the insulated lunch boxes brought by Zhou Hui and Zeng Sujie, and the rest was put into Bai Li's small stainless steel pot.

After the three children had eaten, they took Xiaowu to wander around the small processing plant. Finally, they even found a frying pan and a bucket of salad oil from the kitchen cabinet.

It was not convenient to put them in Bai Li’s car, so she asked Zeng Sujie and Zhou Hui to put them away.

When they were about to set off, Bai Li and Qi Qi discovered that Xiao Feng was missing.

To be precise, the little bird flew out and hasn't come back yet.

Qiqi took out a whistle and asked his mother, "Can I use this to call Fengbao?"

Although no sound of zombies has been heard from last night until now, who knows if the sound of the bell will attract them?
"You wait."

Bai Li took back the green ivy that was placed on the gate, Zeng Sujie opened the lock, and the two of them opened the iron gate one on each side.

They got up at daybreak to wash, dress, and cook. It was just past five o'clock.

Although I steamed the vegetables after breakfast, it only took an hour and a half in total, so it was just past seven o'clock.

The road in front of the door was quiet and there was no one on it.

It was dark last night and they couldn’t see clearly. Today, when they walked out of the factory, they were surprised to find that the pit on the other side of the road was littered with torn clothes and bones.

Thinking of something, Bai Li's face changed, and she hurriedly pulled Zeng Sujie and turned to walk towards the factory, "Hurry, get in the car and leave here."

"Qiqi, Jinfeng and Jinyu, get in the car."

As Bai Li drove away from the factory, he said to Qiqi, "Open the window and whistle. Just whistle three times."

If Xiaofeng doesn’t come back after blowing the whistle, it doesn’t matter, it will always be able to find them.

"Beep. Beep."

Fortunately, when the second gust of wind blew, the little bird came back flapping its wings.

Kiki stretched his arm out the window, letting it stand on his hand as it landed, then put it back into the car.

Closing the car window, Bai Li started accelerating.

"Feng Bao, you are so brave now. You actually flew out for so long so early in the morning. Tell me, what bad things did you do?"

"what!"

Qiqi stretched out his chubby index finger and poked its little head to scold it, and it opened its mouth and grumbled.

"You dare to bite your brother? You are really a rebel."

The child and the bird made a lot of noise for a while, with Xiaowu's cheerful "woof woof" interspersed in between.

Until Bai Li reminded Qiqi, "Son, watch the road."

The road was eerily quiet. Bai Li tensed up from the moment he drove out of the factory. Not only did he look intently at the road ahead, he also glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time.

Thinking of the screams she heard last night, she vaguely guessed what was going on.

In all likelihood, the group chasing them were attacked by mutant animals.

Yes, mutant animals.

Xiaowu's changes were discovered long before, and later on, pets in the community began to mutate one after another. Pets are raised by humans, and as long as they still have their sanity, they will still be dependent on humans and will not do anything to humans.

But what about the wild ones?
Even though there are fewer wild animals nowadays, they do exist.

For example, the most common snakes and mice have strong reproductive abilities. If they mutate to develop certain abilities and then have some brains like Xiaofeng, she dare not imagine what the consequences would be.

In recent years, the number of wild cats and dogs has also increased, some of which are abandoned by humans.

If you are happy, buy it and keep it for a few days. If you are unhappy and no one wants it, just throw it away.

For example, wasn’t Xiaowu from their family picked up by her and Qiqi?

Compared with pure wild ones, these cats and dogs that are forced to become wild may not develop resentment or hatred towards humans.

Bai Li couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on her scalp when she thought of this. The zombie crisis hadn't been resolved yet, and now here came a group of mutant animals that hated humans.
She couldn't help but step on the accelerator to the bottom, wanting to leave here quickly and get home earlier.

"Mom, Ningcheng is ahead. The road on the left leads to the city, and the road on the right leads to the highway. Should we go into the city? I don't know how my uncle is doing, and whether he has returned home?"

Thinking of Bai Yang, Bai Li was not too worried.

"If your uncle had good intentions, he would have arrived home by now."

Bai Yang can drive. Her father has taught her a little bit since she was a child. Although in Jiang Minglang's eyes it's the same as not being able to drive, she has no problem protecting herself.

He is also brave enough not to be frightened when the zombie virus breaks out.

As for whether he will be infected by Baili, let’s not consider it for now.

Because if he is infected it means he is dead, there is no point for her to go.

If he wasn't infected, he could protect himself and leave Ningcheng and go home, so she wouldn't have to go.

Thinking of the possible existence of mutated rats and snakes, Bai Li decisively chose to take the highway.

But when she reached the fork in the road, before she could turn, she saw a horrifying scene: a python with a dark body, coiled tail, and a body as thick as her car. It was slowly raising its head and looking at her coldly with its pair of snake eyes.

Bai Li:.
She felt like all the hairs on her body were bursting, even her hands were covered with goose bumps. She let go of the accelerator with trembling legs and stepped on the brake.

The car stopped about fifty meters away from the python.

Damn, this road isn't straight, otherwise I wouldn't have seen this thing until I was almost there.

Bai Li turned his eyes and saw the billboard next to the giant python: Ningcheng Wildlife Park!

Ironically, there was also a black python with its head raised on that huge billboard.

"Woo."

"Woo."

Xiaowu and Tiedan both let out warning sounds in their throats, their fur stood up and they stared at the giant python with bared teeth.

"what"

Without any warning, Feng Bao suddenly looked up and let out a heart-wrenching scream!

Why do you say it's heart-wrenching?
Because it has never called like this before, the sound is loud and a little split, like the feeling of a broken throat.

Bai Li and Qiqi turned their heads at the same time and looked at it in horror, wishing they could pounce on it and pinch its mouth.

How can you be so tactless?
After the car stopped, she didn't dare to move, even holding her breath. Qiqi was the same as her, hugging Xiaowu tightly, breathing lightly, for fear that the giant python in front of them, which was as big as a hill, would attack them because of any of their actions.

it's good now
Bai Li gripped the steering wheel with both hands and was about to turn and escape.

It’s not that she didn’t want to retreat, but Zhou Hui’s car behind her didn’t move. Zeng Sujie must have been scared just like her.

There is no way to go back, so the only option is to turn.

However, before Bai Li could turn the steering wheel with her stiff hands, there was a sudden rustling sound above her head, and before she could react, the sky suddenly darkened.

No, it's not that it's dark, it's...
She half tilted her head back, opened her mouth, and stared in amazement at the countless densely packed birds flying in from nowhere in the air. As for the types, there were so many that no one could see them all at once.

"Ah" Xiaofeng suddenly screamed again, and tilted his head to look at Qiqi. After Qiqi looked at him, he turned his head to look at the car window, and then looked at Qiqi again.

Qiqi's mouth was still open. He looked at Xiaofeng and blinked, then mechanically reached out to the button and opened the car window.

Feng Bao flapped his wings and flew out.

It was like a white band of light, which quickly soared into the sky, blended into the flock of birds and disappeared.

Bai Li was even more shocked. She murmured, "Son, when did our Xiao Feng fly so fast?"

"I do not know."

Qiqi came back to his senses from his daze, pricked up his ears and heard the familiar "Ah" again from the flapping of birds' wings.

As the calls died down, the black flock of birds suddenly formed a circle around the giant python in front of them, chirping fiercely!

Normally, even small birds would be afraid of a python of this size, not to mention approaching it. Even if they saw it from a distance, they would fly around it. But this group of birds were so brave that not a single one of them backed down.

The first to be hit were two huge birds that were as big as eagles. They were as big as eagles, but they were not eagles, they were macaws.

This can be seen from their colorful and distinctive feathers.

There is a parrot park in Ningcheng Wildlife Park, which is quite large. Bai Li and Jiang Minglang brought Qiqi here last year and visited Bai Yang's new campus.

So she reasonably suspected that most of the parrots among these birds, like the pythons, were probably from zoos.

As former colleagues, they are not afraid of it?

On the contrary, the giant python seemed a little afraid of the two birds.

Despite its huge size, it was so frightened by the macaw's cry that it shrank its neck, then slowly prostrated itself on the ground, and crawled in a winding manner towards the grove not far away.

The snake's skin was so hard that it scraped a shallow groove on the asphalt road.

"what"

After the giant python left and disappeared, Bai Li and Qiqi heard the familiar and special call of their own birds again. As the call faded, the flock of birds suddenly dispersed.

Half a minute later, the scattered flock of birds had flown away and the sky above Bai Li and the others became bright again, without a single bird to be seen.

Oh, no, there is one.

Xiao Feng saw her companion off and flew back into the car through the open window.

Because Qiqi didn't stretch out his hand for it to stand on this time, it jumped on Qiqi angrily and pecked his chubby little hand twice.

Still not satisfied after complaining, she jumped on his head a few more times. Finally, she jumped on the passenger seat and glared at him with her head held high.

The interior of the car was eerily quiet; the mother and her son as well as the two dogs were all looking at it.

"Feng."

After a long time, Bai Li started the car and said with emotion, "You have more than just a brain, you are..."

What is this called?
Being able to call upon hundreds of birds to work for it is equivalent to having an army of birds in its hands.

That’s awesome, my baby!
It was worth it that she had worked so hard to take care of it for two years.

Bai Li's car started and moved forward normally. It was only after Zhou Hui reminded her that Zeng Sujie finally reacted and stepped on the accelerator with shaking legs.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Hui was frightened, "Xiao Jie, my wife, calm down. The python is gone, everything is gone. We are safe now. Follow Bai Li closely, nothing will happen."

"Yes, mom, stop shaking and stay calm. Dad, my sister and I are all depending on you."

The more mysterious and incredible something is, the easier it is for children to accept it than for adults.

Jinfeng already liked Xiaofeng, and now seeing it call for help to drive away the python, he felt even more respect for it.

"I'm so envious of Aunt Bai and Qiqi. It's amazing how they can raise a parrot."

Zhou Jinfeng is two years older than Qiqi, also very smart, and remembers his father's teachings that some things are obvious but not spoken out.

Hearing her son's voice, Zeng Sujie took three deep breaths and was finally able to control her body and calm down.

But he still asked Zhou Hui with a pale face, "How did this python become so big?"

If we really attack them, I'm afraid we can easily swallow their cars with just one mouth.

Too scary!

"It's probably the python in the zoo that has mutated."

"Then the parrot at Baili's house has also mutated?"

"should be."

"So, what kind of power is this?"

"." Zhou Hui pondered for a moment and replied, "Spirit?"

I don’t know if it is, but it’s amazing anyway.

Zeng Sujie was also jealous. It was bad enough that Bai Li had superpowers herself, but it turned out that the bird she raised also had such powerful superpowers.

Yesterday at noon when they stopped the car to cook noodles, she saw the cockatoo lazily standing on the front of the car eating bird food. At that time, she looked at its fat belly and swallowed her saliva, wondering if it would taste similar to pigeon soup if it was stewed?

After all, raising this thing is useless except for its appearance. She wouldn't raise it anyway.

I didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.

It's more than useful, it's extremely useful!

Ugh.
I can’t envy you.

Now looking at their car, there are only two dogs which are of no use.

Two hours later, Bai Li drove through the Ningcheng exit and got on the highway.

What’s better than the highway in Wucheng is that the highway in Ningcheng is relatively smooth. Although there are still a lot of cars, the speed is still acceptable.

However, she also discovered that there were only two vehicles coming from the direction of Ningcheng Wildlife Park.

The other cars all came from Ningcheng City.

"Son, keep an eye on the cars outside. Your dad might be there."

They stayed in the wild for so long yesterday. If Jiang Minglang hadn't delayed, he should have caught up with them soon.

Qiqi was surprised and said, "Dad knows our car. If he were here, he would definitely come over right away."

Bai Li:.
Confused.

But she still said seriously, "Isn't he with your Uncle Dazi? Maybe it's your Uncle Dazi who's driving, and your dad is sleeping in the passenger seat. Your Uncle Dazi isn't familiar with our car, so he might miss it."

"Oh, that's right. Why didn't I think of that? You are so smart, mom."

After saying that, Qiqi quickly turned her head to look outside the window at the other lane, carefully checking every car that passed by them.

Bai Li looked ahead without changing his expression. After a moment, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Three hours later, Bai Li drove towards the service area along the traffic flow.

I plan to use the toilet here, take a rest, and then eat something before setting off again.

"Mom, look over there, there's a bus from Ningcheng University."
