Chapter 2 – Is it stronger than my Mao Ya?
Shu Xiaohui didn"t have many things to bring with him. He followed along the walls in circle, putting all the backup foods and small items previously stored in the little nooks and crannies into his spatial pouch.
After debating with himself, Shu Xiaohui decided to throw in two grenades and a rifle, as well as some ammunition from the weapons warehouse into his spatial pouch too.
Putting a paw on his chubby cheeks after packing, he realised that although his spatial pouch was full and he could feel it, there was no discomfort or weight that he could feel.
Naturally, it was impossible for Shu Xiaohui to walk to Z City on his own, which would have been a long, tiring and frankly impossible journey.
Therefore, he followed Li Chitian and Fan Dong carefully. They have good information, so they would definitely find a group to travel with.
Shu Xiaohui found them after some ha.s.sle, and heard Li Chitian saying in a low voice with a cigarette in his mouth, "Ten cars aren"t enough, we"ll find some more along the way. The main priority is bringing foods and weapons right now, the people can run along instead of staying on the car."
Fan Dong responded, "Brother Li, then do we have to choose everyone who have abilities and experience with guns?"
Li Chitian inhaled the smoke and flicked his finger at random. The cigarette b.u.t.t was embedded at the shelter"s ceiling like a bullet.
“No one will tell you the truth in this current situation. All those with abilities will choose to keep it a secret. Take all the people along with you as you may encounter Cybernetic organisms along the way. Those people will certainly be useful whether they have abilities or not.”
Shu Xiaohui looked up at the top of the air-raid shelter with the Martian cigarette b.u.t.ts still burning. The whole cigarette filter was embedded in the cement. Could this be an ability? Strength type?
When Fan Dong heard Li Chitian"s words, he was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood.
“It is still Brother Li who thinks comprehensively! This is such a long journey that we surely will need some cannon fodders to help block difficult situations for us. I"ll go arrange for everyone and we will go together.”
“Don"t spout nonsense, just keep this in your mind!”, Li Chitian reprimanded him fiercely.
Fan Dong replied with a ‘hehe", “Well, Brother Li, I will say no more. I"ll be going now.”
Shu Xiaohui was who lying on the roof above, shook his tiny nose and scratched a handful of air in anger with his paws. But he was also helpless. What could he do as a small hamster? Li Chitian had an ability and could shoot well, also he was brave and skillful in battle. There were many Cybernetic organisms that were killed under his gun. The people in the air shelter, including the former him, admired Li Chitian very much. When he calls, naturally everyone would surely follow him.
A tiny hamster could only request for self-preservation; with the things on the road, he would also find solutions along the road.
Fan Dong shouted at the people as he walked to pack up their things and prepare to move. Then he called several people who had more strength to load the truck.They set out quickly at noon when the cybernetic organisms were charging.
Loading the car was also a rather troublesome thing. Although the cars could enter the air shelter, the trucks they found could not. They stopped on the flat ground outside the exit of the air shelter. They could only utilise the small cars and move them bit by bit. They also needed to be prepared for the cybernetic organisms that would appear G.o.d knew when.
Shu Xiaohui drilled into the gun warehouse from the crevice. He found an airdrop package and hid himself in it. Naturally, he was also moved into the large truck outside the shelter.
He looked out with his little head and noticed it was noon. Although the exit of the shelter was in the woods, sporadic sunshines could still fall in.
Shu Xiaohui soon realized that when the sunlight fell on some people, it would emit a faint light, and there was all sorts of colour. Fan Dong"s was a light green, Li Chitian who was pacing out had a brown colour.
Shu Xiaohui wondered if this was the color representative of the abilities. He looked down at himself. The sun didn"t shine on the trunk, so he couldn"t see for himself.
More than a dozen trucks were loaded, but most of them were loaded with food, whereas only 2 were loaded with ammunition.
What was scarce was not the guns, but the ammunition. Fan Dong only distributed the guns and a very small amount of ammunition to everyone. However, the type of the guns was different for everyone. Fan Dong quite discriminately gave small guns to those who looked thin and weak. Large guns and hand/grenades and such like weren"t given; he was really stingy.
Somehow everyone was a.s.sembled. Li Chitian jumped on the ammunition car where Shu Xiaohu was hidden and waved, “Lets go.”
More than one hundred people left the shelter just like this.
Shu Xiaohui who was lying in the car, shrank his paws and felt that this was really unfavourable. For them to go off like this, it was really insecure. Cybernetic organisms scanned the fluctuations of life waves and attacked based on that. They had so many people, the target surely would be big.
Sure enough, before they had even rushed out two kilometers, a dozen or so mechanical organisms sprang up near the dilapidated office building opposite them.
All the people fought back in panic. The collective bullets. .h.i.t several of them, there were still many that were sweeping to their way and the Cybernetic organisms" ion-gun attacks also shot towards them.
Shu Xiaohui was lying on the roof of the truck anxiously. And there was a flash in his small eyes as his sight fell on the tattered building that organism"s cyborg claws were clinging on.
‘If that opposite building fell down, it could kill a few of them at least"
Then, a small hamster foolishly looked at the opposite office building that was suddenly beginning to collapse from the fifth floor. The heavy building of 30 floors crushed down and directly slammed onto 6 to 7 Cybernetic organisms to the ground.
Was this just a coincidence?
Shu Xiaohui"s front paw supported his small cheek that was bulging. The angle of the building collapsing was so weird, it did not surge to the cars at this side at all, so only those organisms were hit.
The remaining two organisms were also killed, and the cars could only turn around and moved to the other side.
Shu Xiaohui rubbed his eyes and felt a little sleepy. Akin to the feeling of weakness caused by catching a bad cold, Shu Xiaohui drifted into the bottom of the truck.
He shouldn"t have gotten any illness, should he? Could he still be able to find a vet in this situation?
Shu Xiaohui drilled to the bottom of the truck with difficulties, and finally got the soft nest of degreased cotton out and drilled into it. He fell asleep with his pink claws and short tails still exposed outside.
He didn"t know how long he slept. Shu Xiaohui felt like he saw a figure that was very big and powerful.
The man threw a M4 gun at the organism, but he was still able to dodge the ion-gun attack of the cybernetic organism. Then he raised his foot and kicked an organism several times taller than human beings. Then another organism was shot and destroyed by him. He stepped on the head of the organism and pulled the weapon of the organism out with ease. He carried the heavy weapon and attacked cybernetic organisms on the other side…
And in a twinkling of an eye, more than twenty foreign cybernetic organisms around him were solved like that. The man threw the weapon of the organism aside, and suddenly turned his head as if he sensed something. The direction of his sight was just in line with Shu Xiaohui.
A small hamster was shocked and his fur were almost going to stand up. That person"s gaze was sharp and fierce, as he seemed to had seen himself peeping!
Shu Xiaohui"s first reaction was to cover his eyes, but his front paws were relatively short, so the actions of covering his eyes seemed a bit silly. Shu Xiaohui could only sadly put down his paws.
At that time, the man"s gaze seemed less frightening, but Shu Xiaohui was still unable to catch a clear sight of his face.
Then the man said, “Did you see me? I"m Chen Chengduo. Where are you? I"ll pick you up.”
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…” Shu Xiaohui, who could not speak, could only waved his paws indignantly.
Then, the man disappeared from his sight.
Shu Xiaohui"s paws in his sleep pedaled and opened his small black eyes. He could still feel the soft touch of the cotton. Now he realized that he never left once at all.
So, he just had a dream, but why did the person in the dream say that he was Chen Chengduo? Also why did he mention about picking him up? Strange!!
.
The battlefield at Chen Chengduo"s side was over, but he was still standing there. Li Hui came holding his guns. “Boss, what"s wrong with you?”
Chen Chengduo kicked aside the cybernetic organism"s body which blocked the road and came down to look at a big cat yawning around Li Hui. “Nothing, I just sensed my warpet.”
Li Hui said, “What kind of beast is it? Is it stronger than my Mao Ya?"
“It"s a leopard and you call it Mao Ya. You are really too much.” Chen Chengduo touched the head of Mao Ya and the leopard whined at him, waving its paws.
“Boss, don"t change the subject. What"s your warpet?”
Chen Chengduo easily avoided the claws of Mao Ya and walked toward their car. “I didn"t see what my warpet is, but its spiritual strength is strong. I"m looking forward to it.”
“I am right to say that our boss is tough. How can there be no warpet that can sync consciousness with him? It must be a fierce fellow, it could be an elephant and what"s possible!” Li Hui followed diligently behind and Mao Ya swung its tail and also followed behind.
“Boss, where is your warpet?”
“It shouldn"t be too far.” Chen Chengduo cleaned as he asked behind the car. “Don"t talk nonsense. Clean up the battlefield and remember to take down all the ion-guns.”
Li Hui shrugged his shoulders and turned back to bring people to clean up. Now all these cybernetic organisms would upgrade by themselves. Those ion-guns could not be left there. Earlier, they had met an organism equipped with four ion-guns.
Unfortunately, the ion-gun would run out of energy when it was removed. They were unable to recharge, otherwise, how great would it be to be able to use their abilities and fight these organisms? Currently, only their agile boss had the opportunity to use it.
When Chen Chengduo was resting with his eyes slightly closed, he hesitated for a moment. He seemed to indistinctly heard the voice of the warpet that could sync consciousness with him. It was a little small and also a weak one itself.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak?”
Chen Chengduo shook his head and laughed. Anyway, it was a pleasure to be able to sense his warpet.
