Mu Tang wanted to take Niba out for a walk in the evening, but Lieutenant General Lu wanted to see Lu Yan for something, and Lu Yan couldn't get away.
"I can really be alone, why don't you believe me?!"
Mu Tang repeated over and over again, looking at Lu Yan angrily. Niba also let out a "woo" in agreement, flicked his big tail vigorously, and looked at Lu Yan expectantly.
In front of Lu Yan's courtyard, the two of them were helpless.
Mu Tang thought for a while and suddenly said what Lu Yan had taught her before:
"Didn't you tell me that you wanted to be independent before? You said this yourself."
Lu Yan: "..." These words were indeed said by him himself.
It was possible that it was because he regarded Mu Tang as a child and had no thoughts about her. He even packed Mu Tang into the laboratory when he wanted to return to the base.
It was different now. He was very worried when Mu Tang went out alone.
But now that the children have grown up and have their own ideas, they no longer want their parents to follow them, and their rebelliousness has become increasingly serious.
Qi Yang came to find Lu Yan and was forced to watch the dispute. Seeing the small flames in Mu Tang's eyes getting stronger and stronger, the atmosphere between the two became more tense and he could only act as peacemaker:
"Lu Yan, you are too nervous. If Mu Tang and Niba are in danger when they go out, there should be no safe place in the base."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yan's chaotic mind, which was confused by concern, finally came to his senses. What Qi Yang said made sense.
He was the only one who felt that Mu Tang was incapable of protecting himself. In fact, Mu Tang's combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of most humans.
Coupled with the mud, if there is danger even in this way, then there is really no safe place in the entire base.
Qi Yang patted his shoulder:
"Relax, we have already cleared the area around the base, there will only be scattered low-level zombies."
Then he turned to look at Mu Tang:
"There is an open space in the direction of the base gate. I have already said hello. You can run away with the mud. But to the northwest is a group of abandoned urban buildings. There are too many hidden corners in that place, and there are still many zombies there. Although the possibility of high-level zombies inside is very small, you’d better not go there.”
Mu Tang nodded happily.
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows. Except that there were no high-level zombies above level three, the rest were the same to Mu Tang and Niba.
They won't attack her.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan finally felt relieved and moved out of the way in front of the courtyard gate.
Mu Tang looked happy and patted Niba's front legs.
Niba lay down and let Mu Tang climb on its back, then stood up and shook his fur, and one person and one dog rushed out of the door happily.
Lu Yan gave her final instructions:
"come back earlier."
Mu Tang and Niba had already run 800 meters away, and a "good" sound came back in the distance. Lu Yan shook his head helplessly.
The door could only be opened temporarily for half a minute, but could not be fully opened. The heavy door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a three-meter-wide gap.
Mudba kicked off his hind legs and leapt out from above the guarding warrior's head. He landed on all fours and raised a cloud of dust before running away at high speed.
Several soldiers were left stunned:
"This speed is faster than a Jeep."
Muba ran back and forth on all fours in the open space, raising his head and letting out a loud "woo-" sound, excited.
Being lame doesn't stop it from running. If it can't run on four legs, it will run on three legs.
The speed was so fast that Mu Tang had to pull on its fur tightly, and her whole body sank into its thick fur to prevent herself from falling.
Because its minds were connected, its happiness was directly conveyed to Mu Tang's mind through the spiritual connection, and Mu Tang also became excited.
The sense of freedom bathed in the wind was something she had never felt before.
After running wildly for a while, Niba suddenly stopped, his ears moved, and he turned his head to look at a certain place in the dark.
Mu Tang climbed on top of it and looked in that direction thoughtfully. After a while, he suddenly gave a bad smile:
"Wow, what an unexpected bonus."
Niba let out a "woo" in agreement, flicked his tail, and scratched the ground twice with his front paws eagerly.
Mu Tang lay back on the mud back, grabbed its fur tightly, and then patted its neck:
"I've got it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Muba rushed out like an arrow from a string. Several zombie-specific cries came from the darkness, but they quickly disappeared.
After a while, Niba was chewing something contentedly and walked out of the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, Mudba started running wildly again, and the soldiers on the city wall stared dumbly at a huge beast running around under the city wall, and then the roars of zombies came from all directions.
One of the soldiers watched the mud swallow the zombies directly into his stomach and muttered to himself:
"Has tomorrow's cleaning task been advanced today?"
This trip was really fruitful. Not only did they relax, but they also filled their stomachs. Mu Tang and Niba were very satisfied.
Niba actually left a lot of crystals for Mu Tang, gesturing for her to eat them.
But Mu Tang had a long memory this time and remembered what Lu Yan said and reluctantly refused.
Mudba wanted to keep it at first, but later he couldn't resist the temptation and finally ate them all.
Two hours later, Mu Tang and Mu Tang were satisfied and ready to go home.
I didn't even notice that the temperature, which had been relatively mild just now, suddenly dropped, and I don't know when.
The moon was half covered by the black clouds that drifted over, and the originally bright open space suddenly became dark.
Suddenly, a vague whistle came from a distance, turning into invisible threads and hooking on the ears of one person and one dog.
Mu Tang shook his head, but his voice disappeared again, as if nothing had happened.
"Did you hear it wrong..."
Mu Tang murmured to himself, lowering his head and trying to tell Niba to go back, but found that Niba had started staring in the northwest direction without knowing when, his erect ears were shaking constantly, and his body was stiff.
A trace of doubt flashed in Mu Tang's eyes, and then the faint whistle suddenly sounded in his ears again.
This time I was finally sure I heard correctly.
Mu Tang hesitated for a while, but decided to go back to the base to find Lu Yan first. Just when he was about to pat the mud to signal it to go back, the mud suddenly ran out towards the northwest! !
"Mud!!"
Mu Tang exclaimed and tried to control it using mental connection, but was shocked to find:
Useless!
Niba seemed to have no thoughts of his own, his whole spirit was chaotic and void, and his body ran wildly towards the northwest uncontrollably!
…
In the ruined building in the northwest city, a man wearing rivet boots and a denim jacket, with silver moon earrings hanging in his ears, sat bored on the top of the dilapidated building, playing with a little finger-length whistle in his hand, with a look of irritation on his face:
"Didn't you say this was done by Li Si? Why is it useless?"
And the half of his body that was originally burnt has suddenly returned to its original state.
He brought the whistle to his mouth and blew twice more, then threw the whistle downstairs, stood up and patted his clothes:
"Trash, well, probably because the person who created it is the biggest trash in the world...boring."
He was about to turn around and leave, but stopped after taking only two steps.
When he turned his face again, his original lazy expression had turned into a ferocious smile, and he murmured to himself:
"It's still of some use."
