After staying in that area for a while, everyone could feel the pollen floating in the air, and began sneezing one after the other.

They waited for a long time, but no adults came looking for the child, so they decided to take Yin Yiliu to their ‘operation base’.

The temporary residence of the group was very simple.
Using a few wooden sticks inserted deeply into the soil as a support, and a layer of torn clothes was spread on top as a cover, a few simple tents were constructed.

This was what they had just set up half an hour ago.
Originally, they intended to scan the area to check for dangerous mutated animals and food that could be hunted.
They didn’t expect to come back without food but a child instead.

When they arrived at their camp, Bro Qin silently scaled the nearest tree.
He did not seem to have taken any protective measures before doing so.
It looked dangerous and everyone was worried for him.

Yin Yiliu was curious as to what he was up to.
She saw that he quickly reached between the cloak of leaves, stepped on thick branches, and warned, “Back away!”

His teammates, who seemed to have done this many times before, immediately backed away from the tree.
Then Yin Yiliu noticed the man breaking the tree branches with his hands.
Leaves fell to the ground, along with some mutated insects.
The insects crawled away slowly after falling onto the grass.

Yin Yiliu’s cuteness had increased tenfold after becoming human.
Her small face was chubby, her skin was fair and tender, and her round doe eyes opalescent.
The few gym junkies couldn’t resist and went over to take a closer look at the adorable little girl.

They wanted to touch Yin Yiliu’s face, but they were worried that they would accidentally hurt the child.

Also, those long rabbit ears, they wanted to touch them to confirm whether or not they were real ears, but Sun Fang rolled her eyes and swatted their hands away.

The atmosphere of this team was very harmonious.
If she wasn’t more concerned about Jin Yang, she might have just decided to follow them like this.

Soon after, Bro Qin slid down the tree after throwing down a few long branches from the top.
His teammates were already well aware of what they had to do.
They picked up the branches, stuck them deep into the soil, and hung clothes on top of them.

Because of the mutation after The Second Fog, the team did not intend to stay here for a long time.
There were far too many unforeseeable dangers in City M that turned into a jungle.

Therefore, to ensure speed of gathering, ease of night watching, and ability to leave at any time, the team only set up a large tent.
At night, Sun Fang would be sleeping in the middle.
They believed this arrangement was safer and more convenient.

But now that there was a child joining them, they should be more particular.
That was why Bro Qin took a few more branches to build a small ‘tent’ for the two ladies.

Yin Yiliu felt a little touched.
She did not expect that these people had already begun to make plans for her.
But even so, she still wanted to look for an opportunity to run away.
Jin Yang was still in the car.
She wasn’t sure if he had already awoken, so she needed to return quickly.

By now, she was almost certain that Bro Qin was the stepping stone villain whose face had been ruined.

That meant Sun Fang and the other big muscled men around her, who were happily proclaiming that they now had a daughter to raise, would all die later.

Just thinking about it made her feel sad when she looked at them.

Yin Yiliu heard from Sun Fang that Bro Qin’s full name was Qin Fuhai, and he was the boss of a fitness club, while Sun Fang was the front desk manager.
The rest of them were the club members who had survived the apocalypse.

Seeing the little girl frowning and shaking her flopped-down ears, Sun Fang thought she was scared of the strangers.
She spoke softly, “Little Liu, don’t be afraid.
All of the uncles here are nice people.
Everyone likes you.”

Do they?

Yin Yiliu casted a glance at Qin Fuhai who was leaning against a large tree far away, his eyes closed.
She didn’t think he believed her, but it didn’t matter because she wasn’t planning on staying here for long.
All she could think about was the safety of Jin Yang and the others.

As the sun slowly rose, golden sunlight pierced through the thick fog that engulfed the world, gradually revealing the city’s appearance.

“The fog is dissipating!” Sun Fang cheered with Yin Yiliu in her arms.

In just two or three hours, they lost half of their teammates because of the low visibility in the fog.
If the fog had lasted any longer, they didn’t know what else would have happened.

The dense fog vanished silently, just as how it had appeared, as if it had burrowed back into the ground.

When everyone saw the current state of City M, they fell silent.

The outline of the city buildings that they could still vaguely distinguish previously was now completely covered by the green plants.
The walls of the nearest residential building had been completely taken over by a mutated creeper, and its thick branches even drilled a big hole on the wall.

The ten-meters-tall trees around them rose even higher, to the point where they couldn’t even see the leaves at the top when they raised their heads.
The radius of the trunks grew from huggable by one person to huggable by two or three people.

The entire city had completely turned into a jungle.

Everyone noticed an increase in the number of mosquitoes around them.
It was, after all, only the beginning of spring, and the temperature was still quite low, far from the season of mosquito infestation.

But when a person with his arms exposed in the air felt unbearable from the itching, he raised his arm and noticed several red swellings the size of a dollar coin on his elbow, with small holes visible in the middle of each lump.

As these mutated mosquitoes grew in size, their suckers became thicker as well, and the special substances secreted would make their bitings go unnoticed by their victims.
By the time these people started to feel itchy, the bite wounds would have already grown to the shape of tumors.

” ”

“Fuck! It’s really itchy! Everyone wrap up your exposed arms and legs.”

A man couldn’t bear the itchiness and began scratching the swelling.
The already scary-looking swelling grew even larger, making it even bigger and more painful.

He dared not touch it anymore.
He could only use his saliva to try and disinfect the swelling and, hopefully, to alleviate the itching.

Sun Fang was stung on the wrist as well.
The red and big swelling on her pale wrist appeared very serious.
She resisted the urge to scratch and checked Yin Yiliu’s body.

The mutated mosquito bites were already so unbearable for adults, they must be worse for children.

The strange thing was that the little girl was only wearing a dress and a coat, leaving her calves and feet exposed, but there was not a single mosquito bite on her body.

Yin Yiliu guessed that since she was a rabbit, her skin was different from human skin such that there was still a layer of invisible fur on her body.

Although her thick fur was gone, she was not cold nor was she bitten by mosquitoes.

Qin Fuhai watched as Sun Fang struggled to hold the child while lightly rubbing her wrist to relieve the itching.
He leaned in and reached out to take Yin Yiliu in his arms, his face expressionless.

He didn’t look like he wasn’t about to hold a child.
In fact he looked more like a human trafficker.

“Let me hold her.”

Yin Yiliu felt like someone had lifted her by the scruff of her neck 1.
Before Qin Fuhai’s hands could reach her, she already felt like her body had frozen stiff.
Her small hand quickly wrapped around Sun Fang’s neck, and she shook her head, her big eyes pitifully looking at Sun Fan, wordlessly expressing her unwillingness.

Sun Fang smiled awkwardly at Qin Fuhai, “It’s okay, I can carry her.”

Qin Fuhai didn’t say anything.
He stood quietly, waiting for his teammates to cover up their exposed body parts.

Yin Yiliu felt guilty as she watched Sun Fang’s teammate helping her in wrapping her wrists for her.
She said in the woman’s ear, “Big sister, you can put me down.
I can walk by myself.”

“It’s okay, don’t think too much,” Sun Fang said as she shook her head and stroked the little girl’s rabbit ears.

The little girl didn’t even have shoes on, and her skin was as soft and tender as tofu.
If she got scratched by the sharp edges of the grass, she would be facing rapid infection and festering wounds, just like her fallen teammates.

Just when everyone finished wrapping up the gauze on their bodies and started preparing to build another ‘tent’, a huge howl pierced through the silent jungle.
Birds were startled and flew out of the forest one after another, making chirping sounds.

Everyone’s face changed instantly.
Qin Fuhai quickly drew out the gun from his waist and stood in front of Sun Fang and Yin Yiliu to protect the woman and child.
His black hole-like pupils began to dilate, almost occupying his entire eyeballs.

Soon after, gunshots were heard, accompanied by animal howling.
The trees about a hundred meters away shook and toppled over.

“Run!” Qin Fuhai yelled.

The team had already built mutual trust and understanding with each other after what they had gone through for the past few days.
When the teammates heard what their leader said, they started running without hesitation.
No one cared about the base that they had just set up.

Sun Fang was just an ordinary woman.
It was too hard for her to run while carrying a child.
Qin Fuhai couldn’t afford to be considerate towards Yin Yiliu this time.
He snatched her from Sun Fang, stuffed her into his arms, and started running.

The thing behind them was definitely not something they could resist.

Before she knew it, Yin Yiliu had been carried around like a sack of rice.
She was dizzy and uncomfortable.

But it was not the right time to complain.
Her eyes were fixated on the huge wave that was approaching behind them.

From the gaps between the trees, she could see the dark gray fur of a certain large animal.
The agitated animal was crashing wildly through the woods, raising gusts of smoke and dust.

Footnotes

被捏住了命运的后脖颈 Was pinched at the back of the neck of fate: A slang for “scruffing” or “clipnosis”, which is grasping the loose skin at the back of the animal’s neck as a way of restraining them.
The animal usually freezes when gripped at the back of its neck.
(I also read that scruffing is bad for the animals, it could trigger fear and anxiety, please avoid doing this to your pets~)
