Outside the gate, an absurd drama was playing out. The new survivors had already taken a bath and disinfected themselves. They were wearing clean clothes and running laps around the camp. People who didn't know what was going on would think that they were exercising if they didn't shout and have a face full of fear.
Behind these survivors, the mutated water snake, Blackie, was chasing relentlessly. From this side view, it looked like a terrifying mutated beast was chasing and devouring the survivors. Of course, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't think so. Blackie didn't have the guts to do so. Something must have happened to make the mutated water snake so panicked. Even the iron chain on its horn that was as thick as an arm was cut off by its sharp thorns. It must be known that it hadn't been chained for a day or two. If it wanted to break free, it would have broken free long ago. Zhang Xiaoqiang also hoped that it would break free.
"Woof, woof, woof …"
The excited barks of Zhuangzhuang and Erlang Shen came from the mutated water snake. These two dogs couldn't be considered puppies anymore. They should be called young dogs. They were fifty centimeters tall and could reach more than a meter when they stood up. Their fur was black and shiny, and their limbs were slender and strong. They took small steps behind Blackie at a moderate pace. From time to time, they would rush forward and use their white teeth to bite Blackie's tail.
Although the two puppies hadn't reached adulthood yet, their white teeth were hard enough. As the direct descendant of the mutated dog king, Zhuangzhuang and Erlang Shen began to show their prowess. They bit the snake's tail one after another. Scales flew off, and from time to time, traces of blood could be seen on the ground. Without a doubt, the invulnerable mutated beast was finally injured. No wonder it broke free from the iron chain. The two puppies' teeth were obviously more powerful than bullets and Yuan Yi's broadsword.
No one knew why the two puppies went crazy, but they were unusually excited as they chased behind the snake. They stuck out their dark red tongues and panted heavily. Their four little legs didn't stop running. It seemed like they weren't teasing the mutated water snake, but they really wanted to eat it. Seeing that the puppies that were less than one-tenth the size of the mutated water snake actually wanted to eat the snake, it made people quite speechless. What was even more ridiculous was that the snake really thought it would be eaten by the two black little devils.
Chasing behind the two puppies were naturally Yang Ke-er and Meow. Yang Ke-er loudly shouted the puppies' names, telling them to stop. Unfortunately, the two puppies didn't listen. When Yang Ke-er arrived at the gathering place, she went on missions every day. She had forgotten about the two puppies. After a long time, the puppies' temperament had also become wild. They were unexpectedly indifferent to Yang Ke-er's threats.
Seeing the chaos, Zhang Xiaoqiang was speechless. He tried to shout twice, but the two puppies raised their heads and glanced at him, then continued to chase after Blackie. Zhang Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly. Fortunately, they still gave him some face. They actually stopped to look at him, unlike Yang Ke-er, who didn't even pay attention to them.
After that, Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little annoyed. These two puppies didn't have the slightest bit of dog nature. They didn't even pay attention to their owner. How were they dogs?
Zhang Xiaoqiang's shout wasn't completely useless. At least these days, the mutated water snake had been led by Zhang Xiaoqiang for a walk. It had already realized that Zhang Xiaoqiang was the strongest individual among these bipedal creatures. Naturally, it wanted to receive Zhang Xiaoqiang's protection. It swayed the tip of its toad-like tail and swam over to Zhang Xiaoqiang.
In an instant, the mutated water snake arrived behind Zhang Xiaoqiang. The mutated puppies unexpectedly rushed over without stopping. They stopped in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang and spread out to both sides, preparing to bypass Zhang Xiaoqiang and pounce on the mutated water snake.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow …"
The two puppies circled in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang with their tails between their legs. Their buttocks had been kicked by Zhang Xiaoqiang. The pain on their buttocks finally made the puppies realize that Zhang Xiaoqiang was still their owner. Their complacency was restrained, and the two puppies cried out in pain with their tails between their legs. They carefully lowered their heads, trying to get as close to the ground as possible. They carefully crawled to Zhang Xiaoqiang's feet, laid down, and revealed their yellow bellies. They kicked their four short legs, showing their submission.
Yang Ke-er, who was chasing behind, saw that the two puppies had been ruthlessly kicked. She was very distressed, but she was still in the punishment period. She didn't dare to come forward and argue with Zhang Xiaoqiang. She pursed her lips and stood in place, watching how Zhang Xiaoqiang would deal with the puppies.
Meow wasn't afraid of Zhang Xiaoqiang. It angrily pouted and wanted to argue, but Yang Ke-er twisted its ear and pulled it back.
The two puppies were very wretched and flattering at Zhang Xiaoqiang's feet. While shaking their heads and wagging their tails, they carefully observed Zhang Xiaoqiang's expression. It looked like they were judging whether Zhang Xiaoqiang was really angry or not. Of course, while they were looking, they were also carefully glancing at the mutated water snake behind Zhang Xiaoqiang. They stuck out their tongues and licked their teeth. As they licked, a large amount of saliva fell from the corner of their mouths.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the two shameless puppies in front of him and felt a little helpless. These two puppies were useless. Like the mutated water snake, they were all just freeloaders. However, the background behind them was incredible. They had an entire clan supporting them. Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to go too far. He squatted down and stroked the heads of the two puppies. Seeing the two puppies squinting their eyes in enjoyment, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart moved. Could it be that they were chasing the mutated water snake because they wanted to eat its meat?
The mutated water snake hiding behind Zhang Xiaoqiang moved. It carefully stretched out its head to take a look. Seeing that the two little ant-like puppies didn't want to bite it anymore, it slid its twitching tail to the side of its head. It spat out a bubbling white liquid from its mouth and applied it to the wound on its tail.
Most people, including Zhang Xiaoqiang, didn't notice the snake's actions. Only one person noticed it — the doctor, who was brought out of the laboratory by Elena to breathe some fresh air.
The doctor respected all those who were more capable than him. It just so happened that Elena was better than him in a certain aspect, so he was willing to listen to Elena's arrangements. Elena had a better job and could do what she wanted to do, so she was in a good mood. Bringing the doctor out was also a declaration that she belonged to the doctor. She didn't want other men to come over and get close to her.
The two of them watched the farce from start to finish. Elena looked at the puppies and the snake, while the doctor only looked at the snake. He was very interested in anything that evolved because of the virus. When he saw the mutated snake using its saliva to heal its wound, he couldn't help but walk forward and stand beside Zhang Xiaoqiang to take a closer look. Then, he saw that the wound of the mutated snake was quickly healing and forming a scar. A flash of inspiration struck the doctor, and he fell into deep thought.
When the two puppies saw that Zhang Xiaoqiang wasn't going to kick them again, they flipped over and sat on the ground together. They sniffed at the bottom of Zhang Xiaoqiang's pants and licked his shoes. They let out sharp whines from their noses, trying to please Zhang Xiaoqiang. Then, they obediently sat beside Zhang Xiaoqiang's feet with their chests puffed out like statues.
The actions of the two puppies infuriated Yang Ke-er half to death. She had been given a lot of good food and drinks, but now, after being kicked by Zhang Xiaoqiang, they were as obedient as they could be.
The crowd surrounding them dispersed. Yang Ke-er pulled Meow away in a fit of pique, and the doctor was also pulled away by Elena. Only Zhang Xiaoqiang, the two dogs, and the snake were left in the same place.
Seeing the two puppies looking at him with their heads tilted, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart moved. It seemed that he still had a few crystals from the mutated fish?
When Zhang Xiaoqiang took out a few crystals from the room, the two puppies were very excited. They jumped up again and again, trying to bite the pink crystal in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand. Zhang Xiaoqiang's interest was also piqued by the two puppies' impatience. He held it high in his hand so that the puppies could see it but not reach it.
