The tall and thin man was actually not an ordinary person. Following the apocalypse, he developed a very low level of evolution in his sense of smell, which was only less than 10%.
Before the beast tide came, he could still assist some small evolved teams with this ability. After the arrival of the beast tide, let alone hunting, it was even difficult to get out of the city, and he became no different from ordinary people.
When Zuo Tai brought Jin Yang and his teammates into River Glory Base, he had set his eyes on this group of people in decent clothes. He knew that these people had food, but he was tormented beyond belief in his heart.
He didnât make up his mind until he smelled the subtle scent of meat from the crack of the window.
Who cared if they were evolved people! He was on the verge of starvation. He might as well be a satiated ghost!
Three scrawny men walked timidly to the front door, and one of them pulled a thin wire from his pocket. It was a shame to admit it, but this man had been a pickpocket and a prison regular before the apocalypse. No one had been there to restrain him after the apocalypse, so he continued to rely on stealing to make a living.
He had stolen some rice from one house one day, noodles from another house the next day, and now, he had reached the residence of Jin Yang and his teammates.
His lock picking ability was exceptional. With only a subtle click sound, the door soon opened.
The tall and thin man behind him gave him a thumbs-up, and the three of them quietly pushed the door open and crept in without making a sound.
They thought the noise they made was minimal, but the instant the pickpocket touched the doorknob, the black wolf sleeping soundly on the sofa woke up. It raised its head slightly and glanced in the direction of the door, its deep green eyes shining with luminous light.
After entering the house, the three slowly walked towards the kitchen. At this time, Jin Yang, who was sleeping in the bedroom, opened his eyes as well.
He first looked in the direction of the door with vigilance, then turned to look at Yin Yiliu.
The little girl was fast asleep on the pink little bed, holding the pink plush toy he had bought for her in her arms, and her soft chubby face was a little squished, which was very cute.
His movements were gentle so as not to wake Yin Yiliu. He got up and walked behind the closed door. His ears twitched slightly as he listened to the sound outside.
He knew the intruder wasnât alone based on the sound of footsteps. His mind raced as he tried to figure out who wanted to spy on them.
Logically speaking, they had just arrived in River Glory and had yet to have any interaction with the forces in the base. Was it Zuo Tai? No, it couldnât be him.
Just as Jin Yang was thinking, a sharp scream came from outside. His pupils constricted, and he quickly opened the door.
Outside, a man and a wolf were entangled together. The black wolfâs sharp teeth firmly bit into the manâs thigh, shattering his leg bone. The man struggled and collapsed to the ground screaming.
There were two more men behind the black wolf. One of them grabbed a chair in the living room and was about to slam it into the wolf. With lightning-fast eyes and hands, Jin Yang picked up a clay sculpture on the table and smacked the man right in the face.
With a dull bang, the man covered his face and fell back, while the other ran away when he saw this.
The black wolf loosened its jaw, and the smell of blood filled the room. At this point, the Zhao siblings had also put on their clothes and walked out of their respective rooms.
Zhao Sihui took a candle from her room and lit it with a lighter, allowing her to see what was going on in the living room.
Dumbfounded by the two wriggling and wailing men on the ground, she turned to Jin Yang. âWhat happened?â
Jin Yang frowned. One of the two people in front of him had his thigh completely bitten off, and his shouting voice had become much weaker; the other had been hit squarely in the nose by the mud sculpture, and now his entire face was covered in blood as he rolled on the ground.
They didnât look like powerful people no matter how he looked at them, and it felt more like he and the wolf were prepetrating violence.
He gestured for Zhao Qiyang to contact Zuo Tai with the communicator and sighed with a frown.
As he suddenly remembered something, he turned around sharply and walked towards his bedroom. Just as he reached the door, a little girl with bunny ears holding a pink plushie came out of the room, wearing pink slippers on her feet and rubbing her slightly reddish eye.
âWhat happened?â
Jin Yang walked quickly to Yin Yiliuâs side, covered her ears with his big hands, and blocked her view of the scene outside with his entire body.
âItâs nothing. Go back to sleep.â
The commotion outside woke Yin Yiliu up. When she opened her eyes, Jin Yangâs bed was empty. She saw the candlelight and heard the screams outside, so she hurriedly went out to check.
But before she could reach the door, Jin Yang led her back into the room and back to her small bed.
Jin Yang looked at the befuddled little girl sitting on the edge of the bed, who clearly hadnât fully awakened yet, rubbed her little hand, and motioned her to sleep.
Yin Yiliu looked at the slightly ajar door and asked worriedly, âWhatâs going on outside?â
âNothing. It was just a little accident,â Jin Yang said softly as he squeezed her palm.
The little girl didnât need to have her sleep disrupted by this kind of thing. He turned back and shut the door. The sound outside immediately became so faint that they couldnât hear anything if they didnât listen carefully.
Yin Yiliu yawned softly as she returned to her warm little bed. She blinked her eyes and looked at the blurred outline of the man.
