Doomsday B&B

About half an hour later, Jian Lei had dug out all the things the red fox had buried at the foot of the tree and handed them to Jian Xinling to put away.

About 10 minutes later, the fox returned.

As soon as the fox returned, it barked at Qi Yun:

"Squeak, squeak, squeak squeak..."

"What are you doing? I won't understand you no matter how much you call me. Hurry up and take out your things, we're leaving."

Upon hearing Qi Yun's words, the fox turned its head and looked at Jian Xinling:

"squeak."

This sound didn't need a simple translation; everyone else knew what it meant.

Jian Xinling could only say to Qi Yun:

"It said it wanted more meat, because the meat it had before wasn't enough to replace it."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, squatted down, and began to speak to the red fox:

"You say it's not enough, huh? Then give me back my storage space first. How am I supposed to get it out? Should I dissect you first? Or chop you up? Or what?"

"squeak……"

A sharp cry was heard from the red fox, and a pile of things instantly appeared in front of the four of them.

"hehe."

Qi Yun gave the fox a disdainful laugh, stood up, and handed Jian Lei a similar storage space:

"Here, keep these for the things you're looking for."

Jian Lei paused for a moment, then took it, immediately recognized it as his own, squatted down, and began selecting items that he felt a connection to.

The red fox stayed by Jian Lei's side, watching him choose items. Amazingly, every time Jian Lei put something away, it would draw a mark on the ground with its paw. It wouldn't stop drawing marks until Jian Lei stopped choosing and stood up. Moreover, it didn't forget to put away the items that Jian Lei didn't choose.

After putting the things away, the red fox jumped in front of the three girls again and barked once more.

Upon hearing its cry, Jian Xinling quickly took out various items from her optical brain storage space and placed them next to the red fox.

After putting her things away, she transformed into a cat and jumped onto Qi Yun's shoulder, where she perched.

The red fox was speechless upon seeing this scene, forgetting to put away what it had worked so hard to obtain, and just stood there dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Qi Yun found it somewhat amusing, turned around and got into the car, followed by Jiang Xinrui and Jian Lei.

The sound of the engine starting the car startled the red fox. Seeing the departing car, the red fox's eyes darted around, and it quickly gathered up a pile of things around it. With its four hooves flying, it quickly started running after the car.

Two hours later, the car stopped. Red Fox felt hopeful and seemed to quicken his pace. He finally arrived before the others set off again.

Upon arrival, the red fox collapsed onto the hood of the car, its tongue lolling out, its once smooth and shiny fur now matted and somewhat dull.

Qi Yun saw the pitiful red fox and asked it:

"You want to come with us?"

Then she saw the red fox nod with all its might.

Qi Yun found it amusing, took two steps forward, grabbed it by the neck, lifted it up, and threw it onto the footrest of the back seat.

The red fox was too weak to struggle this time, so Ren Qiyun picked it up and threw it onto the trampling ground.

After throwing the fox away, Qi Yun said to Jian Lei:

"You drive."

After saying that, he opened the back door and got into the car, and Jiang Xinrui followed and sat in the back.

Seeing that everyone had gotten into the car, Jian Lei silently got in as well, drove off, and left the place.

Suddenly, they drove past a grove of trees, and a few people got out of the car to relax.

But for some reason, there were not a single zombie here, and apart from the red fox, there were no mutated or mutant animals, only various kinds of plants.

Although these people felt that the environment was a bit strange, none of them had experience traveling outside and they were skilled and daring, so they were not afraid. They happily relaxed their stiff bodies from sitting in the car for a long time.

Just as the group dispersed to breathe in the fresh air, a red fox suddenly ran out of the forest, screeching loudly. Startled, the group looked closely and saw that it was followed by what appeared to be a chaotic dance of vines.

The branches of varying thicknesses flew up and down in a dense, swirling motion, chasing after the red fox.

When the red fox saw them, its eyes seemed to light up. It stopped holding back and sprinted even faster, while constantly squeaking to relay messages to them.

Hearing the fox's cry, Jian Xinling felt uneasy and quickly jumped off Qi Yun's shoulder, reverting to her human form. She then said to Qi Yun:

"Sister Yun, the fox said that there is a strange plant behind it, and the entire forest is its body. It seems that we have entered a dangerous place."

After listening to Jian Xinling's words, Qi Yun took out a bunch of Molotov cocktails and two large flamethrower guns, kept one for himself and gave one to Jian Lei, then asked them:

"You know how to use it, right?"

"meeting."

The other three answered in unison.

"Okay, then let's get started together when I say 'start'."

Then Qi Yun stood there, looking dashing, holding a fire-breathing wooden gun in her hand.

Seeing that the fox had already passed the group's attack range, they heard Qi Yun say:

"start."

As soon as she finished speaking, the flamethrower in her hand moved, shooting out long tongues of flame. At the same time, the flamethrower in Jian Lei's hand also started moving.

Two tongues of fire shot out simultaneously, creating a truly spectacular scene.

Jiang Xinrui and Jian Xinling saw that Qi Yun and Jian Lei had already started, so they also began to throw the Molotov cocktails as far as they could, hoping to inflict more damage on the alien plant.

The strange plant sensed the fire burning and began to curl up and retreat.

As the alien plant took a step back, Qi Yun and Jian Lei took a step forward, and in this way, the four of them used the flamethrower guns of Molotov cocktails to burn the alien plant to ashes.

From a distance, it looks like there's a huge fire going on here.

The red fox was shrewd. Seeing that the alien plant had been destroyed, it ran over from the car and dug through the ashes. In no time, it came back with a fist-sized green crystal core in its mouth.

After giving the crystal core to Qi Yun, it started digging again. Before long, it brought back something else, a crystal-clear cylinder that shone brightly in the sunlight.

After giving it to Qi Yun, it obediently stayed at Qi Yun's feet.

Jian Lei, standing nearby, said:

"I've heard of this in the lab before. It's called 'Wood Heart,' and it's extremely rare, one in ten thousand."

"Oh, it's a treasure. Alright, let's go, it's getting late, let's find a place to rest."

The group then walked towards the car, intending to find a building to rest in.
