Chapter 478: Extraordinary Luoluo

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

Luoluo holed up deeper into Jiang Zhuying's embrace fearfully after noticing everyone staring at it.

"Just you wait! I will punish you sooner or later," Jiang Liushi warned.

Luoluo flapped its long ears the whole time, which gave Jiang Liushi the impression that his warning fell in deaf ears.

While this was taking place, a muffled sound came from the deserted farmland beside the road, like thunder in the rain, but everyone knew that it was definitely not the sound of thunder. As the one-person high calamus field was quickly split in half, the ground began to slightly tremble.

Mutant beasts!

They had been driving along this road beside this wilderness, so it was a matter of time before encountering mutant beasts. Even Jiang Liushi felt it was strange that they hadn't met any mutant beasts until now.

'Moo!'

A mutant cow, as large as a car, rushed out from the calamus field suddenly. Its skin was rough like sand and gravel and the two horns its head were eye-catching. It released hot air through its nostrils while staring at Jiang Liushi's minibus.

"Oh, my god!" Zhang Hai and Sun Kun shouted in unison after seeing the mutant cow from the minibus.

"Beef! Wonderful!"

Although the mutant meat was very delicious, beef, mutton, and pork were easier to be accepted by human beings. After all, that's what people had always been eating before doomsday.

Luoluo, which was hidden in Jiang Zhuying's arms, suddenly picked up its ears and opened its big eyes. It almost drooled!

That mutant cow with an aggressive posture seemed to have instinctively sensed danger, so it hesitated and didn't rush toward them directly. In its eyes, the minibus was like a monster made of steel.

Zhang Hai and Sun Kun were ready to shoot, and Ling had also pulled out the dagger and came to the window.

"Wait!" Jiang Liushi suddenly said. "Don't waste bullets." And then, he suddenly looked at Luoluo. "If I'm not mistaken, Luoluo is also a mutant beast. I will send it to fight with that mutant cow. Don't let us down," Jiang Liushi said, and then he immediately grabbed Luoluo, throwing it out of the window right after.

That mutant cow was a level-1 mutant beast. Although they didn't know Luoluo's level, Jiang Liushi believed it was no problem for Luoluo to face it. After all, it had eaten a considerable amount of mutant meat as well as the mutant queen's egg.

When Luoluo was thrown out of the window, the mutant cow was facing Jiang Liushi's minibus about dozen meters while kicking its hoof back. Suddenly, the mutant cow was scared by the hairball and Jiang Liushi's roar.

"Luoluo, go!" Jiang Liushi shouted.

'Zhii—zhi-'

Luoluo's hair stood on end the moment it saw the mutant cow. Although Luoluo was indeed a mutant beast and it had the courage to eat the mutant queen ant's egg, its courage was nowhere to be seen before the huge mutant cow. Every time Jiang Liushi's team met zombies, Luoluo would always hide. At the same time, it didn't dare to fight against its enemies directly.

However, never had it expected that Jiang Liushi would throw it. Naturally, the moment it landed on the ground, Luoluo ran back as quickly as possible

"Hey! Shame on you!" Seeing this scene, Jiang Liushi shouted angrily.

At that moment, the mutant cow roared and dashed toward them! It aimed at Luoluo to hit its body heavily using its horns. This mutant cow was so heavy that the impact from the collision could directly throw a car face down. Luoluo was scared to death as it didn't have time to dodge at all.

Jiang Liushi sighed and lifted his sniper rifle up at once. After all, it was a mutant cow, and he couldn't let it run away. However, just at that moment, Luoluo's body suddenly expanded like a huge balloon. The cabbit-looking beast now resembled a quite funny and cute balloon-like bear as its four legs remained the same, short and small; it was quite the scene watching it waving them in a struggle.

However, its body suddenly blocked Jiang Liushi's muzzle. And then, the mutant cow and Luoluo collided!

They all heard a strange sound and then saw that Luoluo had been sent flying straight back toward the minibus, but with no signs of blood or wounds. When Luoluo slammed against the window, it reverted to its original form and got in from the small gap of the window, jumping into Ran Xiyu's arms as she was closer to it.

"What?" Jiang Liushi was totally shocked by the scene. Even Jiang Zhuying and Ran Xiyu, who loved Luoluo extremely, felt it was impossible…

How could there be no wound on Luoluo's body?

'Bang!'

Jiang Liushi squeezed his trigger as soon as possible, and soon after, the mutant cow fell down to the ground. Its huge body fell in two meters away from the minibus' front, so Jiang Liushi's minibus also shook.

"Zhang Hai and Sun Kun, help me to deal with it," Jiang Liushi ordered, and then he put down his sniper rifer. He walked to Ran Xiyu and pulled Luoluo's ears directly. It seemed that Luoluo had a psychological shadow. When it was lifted up by Jiang Liushi, it immediately became like a frosted eggplant with a pair of more grievous eyes. Jiang Liushi looked at Luoluo with great interest.

Su Guangqi and Su Tong also curiously gathered around. Su Guangqi took out his presbyopic glasses to observe Luoluo carefully.

On the surface, it seemed that Luoluo didn't have any changes. However, all of them had witnessed that amazing scene; Luoluo expanding suddenly.

Jiang Liushi grabbed Luoluo's ears and suddenly found that although its hair was soft, its ears could be formed at random. It seemed that its ears could be stretched without limitation…

"Brother Jiang…what are you doing…" Even Ran Xiyu was eager to protect the little beast.

However, Jiang Liushi paid no heed and pulled Luoluo's ears to the point he could not stretch his hands any longer. Seeing this scene, all of them fell silent. Just at that time, Jiang Liushi turned around, but Luoluo's ears hit the doorknob of his minibus.

'Duang!'

The sound of a metal impact was heard. Jiang Liushi was speechless, and he immediately checked the doorknob. Although the doorknob wasn't strengthened by the special alloy, it was still harder than ordinary doorknobs.

"How could it be possible?" Jiang Liushi exclaimed loudly when he noticed that a part of the doorknob had caved in. Fortunately, it was quite easy for Jiang Liushi to repair it. Jiang Liushi immediately pulled up Luoluo's ear again and hit the doorknob with it again.

'Bang! Bang!'

Facts speak louder than words.

Luoluo was indeed an extraordinary mutant beast.

"It's quite amazing," Su Guangqi stared at Luoluo and said excitedly.

After getting the approval of Jiang Liushi, Professor Su cut off a strand of Luoluo's hair to study. After a while, Professor Su said, "Although Luoluo's hair feels soft when touching it, it's actually very tenacious. Captain Jiang, Luoluo is not a useless beast. It's a spectacular being." In Su Guangqi's eyes, Luoluo was highly intelligent, and after evolving, its strength was also reflected. That's why Su Guangqi felt Luoluo was an amazing creature.

In fact, as a scientist, Professor Su hadn't any chance until now to observe living mutant beasts. After all, other mutant beasts were difficult to control even they were in cages. However, Luoluo was quite different from them. It was cute with high plasticity.

Hearing Professor Su's words, Jiang Liushi's opinion started to change; he too thought it was an amazing creature.

Immediately after, they started testing it. As expected, Luoluo could also make its body as thin as a piece of paper. It was as if its facial features were printed on its body. Luoluo noticed Jiang Liushi's attitude toward it had changed, so its eyes suddenly became active again.

Luoluo licked its tail to please Jiang Liushi and moved its head back and forth on Jiang Liushi's palm. "Stop! It's useless against me. Luoluo, you can play with the girls," Jiang Liushi said, and then he gave Luoluo to his sister. Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin came closer quickly as they couldn't resist Luoluo's cuteness.

Jiang Liushi returned to the cab, and Ying restarted the minibus and continued to drive along the bumpy road. At this time, Jiang Liushi saw a street sign on the highway. Among several different places' names, Jiang Liushi saw a familiar but somewhat unfamiliar name—Jiangbei, his hometown.

…

After the virus' outbreak, Jiang Liushi had rushed down from this highway and pushed away some survivors that wanted to jump the line.

However, now, on the highway, no living people could be seen anymore. As they continued to move forward, large abandoned vehicles appeared on the road. Traces of battles could be found on the roads and fences. Jiang Liushi remembered that the army had ordered everyone to abandon the vehicle and walk on foot. Naturally, there were many dangers during the walk.

Soon, Jiang Liushi's bus reached the toll station of Jiangbei Freeway. After a certain distance, Jiang Liushi saw the military vehicles that had been blocking the entrance of the toll booth. After such a period of time, those military vehicles had been stripped and rusted. Although no bodies could be seen, the toll booth was full of dark brown blood, which was already shocking enough. Above the toll booth, the words, 'Jiangbei City Welcomes You,' were also bleak.

"We arrived at Jiangbei..." Other than Jiang Zhuying, Li Yuxin also showed a look of melancholy.

Jiang Liushi also looked at the far north of Jiangbei City. He and Jiang Zhuying had been living together in a corner of Jiangbei City, for more than ten years.

"We will not enter Jiangbei, just pass around the city. It should be infested with zombies," Jiang Liushi said. The once bustling city was no longer the same. Zombies were its 'residents' now. The streets were full of abandoned shops and swaying zombies with bloodshot eyes and dirty clothes. Such a depressing scene could bring humans a strong sense of crisis.

For such a Jiangbei City, Jiang Liushi didn't want to see it at all. It was better to miss it rather than meet it. Fortunately, Jiang Liushi was strong enough to accept the new reality brought by doomsday. Not to mention, that ordinary zombies could no longer pose a threat to his minibus.

"Uh, good idea," Li Yuxin agreed. She sat down with her mother and gently held her hands. Apparently, her emotional state was unstable.

Jiang Zhuying seemed unconcerned, and then she started talking about their past to Ling and Ran Xiyu. Ran Xiyu was quite interested in these stories, listening to Jiang Zhuying's description carefully. Ling just listened quietly.

"You shared a room with a bunk?" Ling suddenly asked.

Jiang Zhuying nodded and said calmly, "Yes!"

"Hmm..."Ling nodded.

Jiang Zhuying doubted her ears because she expected other questions. But Ling became quiet again.

"Well, it's quite normal. Haven't you all slept beside my brother at nights?" Jiang Zhuying said and smiled.

"..."

Suddenly, the atmosphere became strange. Ran Xiyu's expression was unchanged, but her ears were slightly red. Li Yuxin even blushed with embarrassment. She secretly glanced at her mother, and she was too shy to look up.

Jiang Liushi glanced at his sister, and then he said awkwardly, "The minibus is too small..."

The minibus was indeed quite small! Zhang Hai and Sun Kun were packed together in the cab every night. Even Su Guangqi needed to sleep at the cab. The others lived in the bedroom, and all of them faced each other. No matter how they arranged it, someone would always have to sleep on the floor beside Jiang Liushi.

Jiang Zhuying never minded sleeping beside her brother; they were siblings after all. But the other girls had to take turns silently and sleep beside Jiang Liushi. This situation had made Jiang Liushi feel a little strange. Fortunately, nobody had mentioned it before, but Jiang Zhuying said out.

'I have to hurry to upgrade my minibus!' Jiang Liushi thought. He wondered what kinds of surprises he could get after his minibus was upgraded.

"Well, that's okay. In this terrible world, we should feel very happy that we can sleep in this safe minibus. Everything else is trivial," Ran Xiyu said and then she looked at Jiang Liushi.

From Ran Xiyu's chilly gray eyes, Jiang Liushi saw her smile. Seeing Jiang Liushi's eyes, Ran Xiyu lowered her head and covered her smiling lips.
