The entrance of the wind farm was suddenly thrown into chaos.
Several cars trying to leave collided with each other, the sounds of cries and the calls of gu eagles mixed together.
Only on Bai Xiqin’s side was everything calm, as each person’s hands overflowed with powers of various colors.
This was the Bai Family n’s mont of glory!
The opponents weren’t zombies, just oversized eagles that didn’t look too frightening; just throw your powers directly at them!
In any case, the Bai Family n thought these gu eagles seed much cuter than zombies!
Bai Anhai threw crackling electricity from one hand and sizzling flas from the other towards the gu eagles.
Bai Yifan wielded a long sword, enveloped by a faint yellow glow, and effortlessly chopped off a gu eagle’s head.
Bai Zhengxuan was the most smug, launching water waves wrapped in vines towards the gu eagles, occasionally even burning their claws.
They only dared to righteously bully mutated animals; when it ca to zombies, their legs would shake before they even fought!
"Grandpa, be careful!"
Bai Xiqin quickly reminded Bai Zhengxuan, who had narrowly avoided the gu eagle’s claws.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine!"
Bai Zhengxuan raised his hand, sending blazing flas to burn a gu eagle.
He had just wanted to get a closer look at the gu eagle’s claws, wanting to play with it!
The gu eagle’s skin was very thick, and only powerful superpower attacks could kill them outright, but it could stop them from attacking others.
Gu eagles were bullies too, preying on those too scared to get out of their cars.
Bang bang bang!
A few gunshots rang out.
Captain Zhu led five or six officers, ard with guns, out to fire shots at the gu eagles in the sky.
No one cared if they were protected animals anymore.
Occasionally, a gu eagle was shot and fell to the ground.
Occasionally, a gu eagle caught soone and flew away.
The gu eagle’s sharp claws were like blades, breaking many car windows.
Frost-covered steel needles flew through the air, penetrating from one gu eagle’s head to another’s.
Bang bang!
Two dead gu eagles fell straight to the ground.
Electricity, fire, and splashes of water struck the gu eagles.
After a few struggles, the gu eagle was beaten to death.
In the high beams of the bus, the Bai Family appeared like deities from the heavens, the colorful lights from their hands relentlessly striking the monsters.
Everyone was stunned.
The cry of a baby suddenly grew louder.
Then, all the gu eagles began to strain to fly upwards and disappeared.
After the gu eagles vanished, subdued cries from people started to be heard.
Watching helplessly as loved ones were taken by gu eagles yet being powerless, that feeling was suffocating.
Survivors began feeling grateful for having survived another ti.
On the third day of the apocalypse, everyone encouraged each other, and everything still seed peaceful.
"The records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas were true after all!"
Bai Zhengxuan squatted down and looked at a dead gu eagle.
It resembled an eagle, with cries like a child, and horns on its head, just like the gu eagle described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Bai Xiqin stared fixedly at the horn on the gu eagle’s head.
Eagles were originally ordinary protected animals, just normal eagles.
Due to an energy surge, animals also began to mutate, in a myriad of ways.
The gu eagle was one mutation path for eagles.
This was a wind farm, where so birds hide from eagles under the turbines.
Relatively speaking, there were many birds and eagles here.
The na ’gu eagle’ was recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Bai Xiqin couldn’t help but wonder if energy surges occur every few thousand years.
Could disappeared civilizations be related to energy surges?
Ancient animal bones held bizarre records, chronicling nurous stories.
But so much ti has passed, those are no longer verifiable.
If not for the Classic of Mountains and Seas passing down, who would believe what was written a thousand years ago would be validated today?
"Hello, was that...superpower just now?" Captain Zhu approached Bai Anhai with a sincere question, "Why are your powers so... strong?"
Captain Zhu seed a little embarrassed as he asked.
"Zombies have crystal cores in their heads, absorbing them can make powers stronger and stronger."
Bai Anhai spoke openly.
It’s not a secret; Captain Zhu was a good person, telling him this wouldn’t hurt.
Humans should help each other; otherwise, when zombies grow strong, there’ll be no space for humans to survive.
The Bai Family never hid the crystal cores when digging them out.
"Crystal cores? In the zombies’ heads?"
Captain Zhu turned pale, then green, then pale again.
He wasn’t sure whether he was disgusted by having to crack open a zombie’s head or regretting never having extracted crystal cores before.
"Yes! In the zombie’s head."
Bai Anhai nodded emphatically.
Captain Zhu was silent for a mont, then left three officers to clean up, taking two to find the zombies they killed when they arrived.
Cracking open a zombie’s brain is disgusting, but to survive, humans seem to have no other choice.
Gu eagles are mutated animals, not zombies, so they can be eaten.
Considering they eat human flesh, Bai Xiqin’s family gave up on that idea.
"Duoduo! Duoduo!"
An old man, his face tear-streaked, weaved through the chaos, continuously calling a child’s na.
"Have you seen Duoduo?"
The old man, with gray hair, teary eyes, and trembling fingers, asked everyone he ca across if they had seen Duoduo.
"...could she have been taken by the monster eagle?" soone sighed and responded.
"Impossible!" The old man shook his head firmly, "When the monsters were flying away, she was still by my side, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye!"
The old man’s muddled tears fell freely, wishing he could trade his life for his granddaughter’s safety.
His son and daughter-in-law had perished in order to let him and Duoduo escape; even if he died, he couldn’t be without Duoduo!
"What clothes was your granddaughter wearing?"
Bai Zhengxuan asked with concern.
Bai Zhengxuan could empathize; if his granddaughter went missing, he’d surely be equally anxious.
Girls are different from boys; they need more protection from adults.
"A blue down jacket, she’s wearing a blue down jacket!"
The old man wiped his tears and loudly called his granddaughter’s na again.
"Duoduo! Where are you! Co out! Grandpa can’t find you!"
The old man’s voice was ancient, causing sorrow for anyone who heard it.
So people began spontaneously searching nearby for a little girl in a blue down jacket.
They searched for a long ti and didn’t find her.
Night fell, and many cars turned on their high beams, fully illuminating the surrounding wheat field.
Still, there was no sign of the little girl.
After searching all the likely areas, many people gave up.
Perhaps the old man had inadvertently let the monsters take her!
Bai Xiqin sent Qin Yuan to fly around as well but still didn’t find the little girl in a blue down jacket.
Eventually, everyone gave up.
Only the old man kept calling Duoduo’s na over and over, searching inside and outside repeatedly.
Ultimately, she was not found.
From night until morning.
The old man’s shoes sohow got lost during his search, yet with a numbed expression, he kept looking.
His weathered, desolate voice made people’s hearts ache, but there was nothing they could do.
The morning sun shone on the old man’s face, full of creases and sorrow.
Bai Yifan handed a bowl of egg custard to the old man, who put it in a plastic bag and returned the bowl to Bai Yifan.
"My Duoduo loves to eat it; she hasn’t eaten all night, she must be hungry..."
