After Yin Yiliu calmed down, she became aware of her current situation.
She had become human?!
At this time, she was wearing a very warm leather coat that reached all the way down to her calves. It belonged to one of the men in the team who had taken it off and put it on her. And she was now held in the arms of a woman.
She didnât know how she had suddenly become a little human girl, but judging from the soreness and itching of her bones while she was still in the thick fog, it must be related to The Second Fog.
She was also very short, about the height of a four or five-year-old girl. The top of her head only reached the thighs of an adult.
The strangest thing about her was the pair of fluffy white long ears on top of her head and a round tail at her tailbone hidden under her skirt. She could feel her little tail being pressed flat as she sat on the womanâs arm.
This was a new sensation to her. It was as if she gained new body parts out of nowhere, causing her to shake her ears from time to time. The people around misinterpreted this as her being afraid, so they spoke even more quietly.
Yin Yiliu went from a human to a rabbit, and then somehow turned back to a human again. It was not that surprising anymore for her to have gained an extra pair of ears and a tail.
In this regard, Yin Yiliu expressed that she had already gotten used to it, and it was nothing to make a fuss about. Even if she were told that aliens had descended on Earth, she would easily accept the fact.
These people were the boss, manager, employees, and members of a fitness club in City M before the apocalypse.
Not everyone had clean hands. Yin Yiliu believed that it was pretty hard for ordinary people to have guns in the apocalypse. From this fact alone, she knew that they most likely had some connections.
The name of the woman holding her was Sun Fang. She was the only woman in the team, so when she saw Yin Yiliu, a cute little baby doll-like girl sitting alone under the tree with red eyes looking as if she had been abandoned, she felt sorry for the little girl. After obtaining permission, she quickly went to pick her up.
The leader of the team was handsome, with ripped muscles visible under his shirt. He was not the talkative type and he didnât have any expressions on his face, thus he appeared cold. At first glance, he seemed like the same type of person as Jin Yang.
But Yin Yiliu knew that they were different. The man gave off a cold-blooded feeling. When he narrowed his eyes slightly while looking at her, it felt like he was interrogating a prisoner.
Under such a piercing stare, she didnât dare to play any tricks. With her eyes still red, she just acted dumb and pretended that she didnât understand.
âWhy are you out here alone? Why do you have rabbit ears? Where are the people who were with you?â
The man was expressionless and spat out questions like a question-asking machine, as if Yin Yiliu was a spy who was endangering the safety of humanity.
Yin Yiliu shook her head, indicating that she didnât understand anything. After all, she was only a child. When she got âscaredâ, she would go wuuuuu and cry. Her tears would flow easily due to her rabbit physique. With her watery big eyes and her lips pursing pitifully, the surrounding teammates couldnât bear it anymore.
âIâŠI got lost from my family.â
When the little child cried, her nose and eyes were red, and the long ears on top of her head flopped down dejectedly. One look at her and everyoneâs heart melted; even the big muscled men went soft-hearted.
People in the team immediately began to speak for her, remembering their own lost children, who had most likely lost their lives in the apocalypse.
âBro Qin, what would a child know? Donât push her too hard!â
âSheâs just a little child, what could she possibly know? Donât scare the poor little girl!â
Sun Fang also cradled Yin Yiliuâs small head in her arms while throwing a disapproving glance at the man. The little girlâs parents might have been killed by mutated animals, and she might have been swallowed by a mutated animal for her to become the way she was now.
She was already so pitiful, but Bro Qin still wanted to frighten the child.
Yin Yiliu had no idea that her little crocodile tears caused this group of kind and simple people to conjure up all sorts of excuses on her behalf, even inventing a tragic past for her.
When she heard the name âBro Qinâ, she was stunned, because there was also a Bro Qin in the novel, and he appeared a lot in the later stages of the novel.
If Jin Yang was the super invincible villain boss, then Bro Qin was undoubtedly one of the top three in the supporting villain role rankings.
When he first appeared in the novel, his face had already been ruined. He, like Jin Yang, was a lone wolf. It was said that his previous team members were all dead. He was gloomy and cruel, and he had very advanced marksmanship. The novel even stated that he could casually shoot down mutated birds from distances up to thousands of meters away, demonstrating his incredible vision and accuracy.
When the main leads and their teammates arrived in City B, they ran into Bro Qinâs only confidant at the time. They argued over the handling of a mutated animal. In the end, the confidant struck first, but Xiang Yingzhuoâs teammate accidentally killed him.
Bro Qin and Xiang Yingzhuo had been in a feud since then.
In the end, Bro Qin became nothing but a stepping stone for the main leads to ascend.
Was this handsome man in front of her and that villain in the novel really the same person?
Yin Yiliu tilted her head, trying to see if she could detect the supporting character aura from this Bro Qin. While she was observing him, the man noticed and returned her gaze. She was startled and quickly buried her face in Sun Fangâs neck.
She wasnât sure if he was the supporting character, but she was sure that he was terrifying.
The manâs eyes appeared to have mutated, but they were not the same as Jin Yangâs. Even when he wasât using his abilities, his eyes were frighteningly black. The deepest part of his pupils looked like a small black hole, as if he could see into the weakest part of a personâs heart.
The manâs expression remained unchanged as he watched Yin Yiliu turn her head away, but he had the feeling that this little girl was not that simple, and was not as harmless as she looked on the surface.
He always had very accurate intuition. How could there be nothing suspicious about a child who was all alone in the jungle?
Sun Fang carried Yin Yiliu towards their base. All Yin Yiliu could see were the various plants along the way, and it was impossible to tell which way they were going.
She even forgot what the road looked like when she came; she couldnât help but feel anxious.
She didnât know how much time had passed. If people and mutated animals noticed Jin Yang and the others while they were still sleeping, or if they woke up to find her missingâŠ
The more she thought about it, the dizzier she became. She had to think of a way to get away.
Thinking of this, she tugged at Sun Fangâs collar.
Sun Fang lowered her head and saw a small and round face at close distance. Her chubby and soft cheeks, combined with her round doe eyes, made the little girl look even more adorable and pitiful.
She automatically lowered her voice, âWhatâs the matter?â
Yin Yiliu nodded her little head and said in a very serious tone, âI remembered everything now. I got separated from my daddy. Big sister, please put me down, I can go back by myself.â
When the little girl spoke, she had a soft tone and cute baby voice1.
âNonsense!â Sun Fang clearly didnât believe her. How could the parents let such a small child out alone? Either the adults were in danger and got killed, or the child faced danger but her parents were unaware that she had survived.
The little girl might not have fully comprehended what had happened to herself. Sun Fang thought, feeling even more sorry for the little girl. She clutched Yin Yiliuâs hands tightly, trying to give her some warmth.
Yin Yiliu: ???
She looked at the big, sturdy guys who took out rice crackers from their pockets to tease her. She moved her head away, feeling a little nervous.
What do you mean, youâre not letting me go?
