Chapter 312 Dodder in the Apocalypse 21
Feng Yan observed them for a while and saw that both of them were still quite lucid and were trying to hold back their attacks.
It must be that the big yellow dog's psychic abilities are limited, and it's not yet able to completely control them.
For the time being, the two are evenly matched, and neither can gain the upper hand.
So he had no intention of rescuing the two of them. Instead, he said, "Since we have this rare opportunity, let's do some training to resist psychic abilities so that we won't be ambushed by people or zombies in the future."
"Look at your sister-in-law, she's better than you even without awakening any superpowers."
Yun Qing blinked in surprise. So it was because she was too strong that she wasn't controlled?
She looked at Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue, who were not strong enough, and met their bewildered and shocked gazes amidst their flustered state.
She thought for a moment, then shyly clenched her fist and gave them a thumbs-up, encouraging them, "You can do it too!"
Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue: ...
My sister-in-law is really unaffected?
They said they didn't understand.
After awakening, people with superpowers become stronger than ordinary people in all aspects of their bodies, and they believe that the same applies to resisting psychic superpowers.
But the truth is, they've been controlled by this big yellow dog and are killing each other here, while the delicate and frail sister-in-law is completely unharmed.
Was it because the big yellow dog treated her differently and didn't use its psychic abilities on her, or did her really have a talent in this area that far surpassed that of ordinary people?
Or perhaps, true love transcends everything, and she is so resistant to hurting Feng Yan that mind control has no effect on her?
They didn't understand, and the big yellow dog understood even less.
What's wrong with these two? Why are they out of control?
Why don't you all start fighting each other! Kill each other!
At the very least, shouldn't there be some reaction of struggle? Why are you acting as if nothing happened?
The big yellow dog bared its teeth and intensified its mental control, its eyes fixed on Yun Qing and Feng Yan, wanting to see their reactions.
However, Yun Qing and Feng Yan still didn't react, while Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue became increasingly ruthless in their attacks.
Seeing that mind control was ineffective against Yun Qing and Feng Yan, the big yellow dog barked fiercely twice and charged towards them, opening its mouth as if to bite.
Feng Yan calmly raised his hand, and a ball of lightning crackled in his palm, looking quite powerful.
The big yellow dog looked at the ball of lightning and immediately braked, finally stopping just in front of Feng Yan.
It looked up at Feng Yan, who held lightning in his hand and had an expressionless face, and then at Yun Qing, who was hiding behind Feng Yan, only peeking out with a fearful look on her face, but with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Finally, it sat obediently, looked at Yun Qing, and barked twice in a gentle and friendly manner.
The main character is a wise and discerning person.
Seeing how well-behaved it was, and looking at the lightning in Feng Yan's palm, Yun Qing felt relatively safe. So she boldly stepped out from behind Feng Yan and stood beside him.
After observing the big yellow dog for a while, she asked, "Big Yellow, do you raise these chickens?"
Big Yellow nodded.
Yun Qing remained silent.
They've always scavenged for supplies, taking only unclaimed items. Now that these chickens have been raised by Da Huang, if they just take them away, it would be robbery.
I feel a little guilty about stealing chickens from dogs that have worked so hard to raise them.
Yun Qing looked at the chubby chicken, then at the big yellow dog, looking troubled. Then, a thought struck her, and she asked, "Big Yellow, do you want to come with us?"
If Big Yellow goes with them, then naturally it will have to take its chickens with it!
Then everyone becomes family, so she shares some food with it, and it shares some chicken with her. Isn't that normal?
But Dahuang shook his head without hesitation.
Yun Qing asked anxiously, "Why? Is your master still here?"
Upon hearing the word "master," Da Huang's eyes dimmed.
Its head drooped, and finally it simply lay down, resting its chin on its paws, gazing longingly at the national highway, as if expecting something.
Looking at it like this, Yun Qing couldn't help but feel a little sad, and she couldn't bear to take it and its chicken away.
She turned to look at Feng Yan and asked softly, "Did Da Huang's owner turn into a zombie, or... abandon it?"
Perhaps it was because it heard the word "zombie" that Big Yellow's eyes suddenly turned fierce. It raised its head and scanned the entire village, seemingly using even its mental powers.
Because Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue, who had been fighting continuously, suddenly stopped and were no longer under control.
Feng Yan looked at Da Huang's behavior and said in a low voice, "It seems that its owner has not turned into a zombie."
Otherwise, when Dahuang hears the word "zombie," it shouldn't just feel pure anger, but rather grief.
Moreover, judging from the affection that Dahuang shows for its owner, if its owner turned into a zombie, it should still follow its owner around and not stay here alone feeding the chickens.
If its owner had turned into a zombie and been killed, it would have been more hostile when it found them, but at first it just wanted to drive them away and protect its chickens.
Yun Qing fell silent. If Da Huang hadn't turned into a zombie, then it meant that Da Huang had been abandoned by its owner.
She doesn't know the specifics and can't stand on moral high ground to criticize Da Huang's owner for being too heartless.
Ultimately, she was just lucky; she was able to survive because she got entangled with Feng Yan at the very beginning of the apocalypse.
But along the way, she also saw how difficult it was for ordinary people to live, and even many people with superpowers could not live as comfortably as they did.
The owner of the large yellow dog was probably powerless, after all, the family couldn't even take all the grain from their house.
It's estimated that Big Yellow didn't awaken its special abilities at first, or perhaps its owner didn't know, so they had no choice but to abandon it.
After scanning the village, Dahuang dejectedly lay back down, staring at the national highway.
That's where the master left from.
The owner said he couldn't take it with him and that it should guard the house and wait for him to return.
Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue rested for a while, visited other homes in the village, and then returned here.
“Feng Yan, all the families in this village should be farming their own land, and every household should have stored grain.”
"There's no one left in the village now, and there are no zombies either."
As Qi Renyang spoke, he glanced at Dahuang. It was impossible for no one in the village to have turned into a zombie, otherwise the villagers wouldn't have fled for their lives.
I guess Big Yellow took care of all the zombies, and probably cleaned things up afterwards, because I didn't see any zombie corpses.
"But I don't understand. Even if some people in the village turned into zombies, shouldn't these villagers be more willing to stay at home? At least they have enough food. Why did they all run away?"
"Are the zombies in this village particularly powerful?"
Feng Yan surveyed the village environment, noticing the inexplicable holes in the nearby houses, and said, "Perhaps there are not only zombies, but also zombie animals and mutated plants, making it impossible for the villagers to survive in the village, forcing them to flee for their lives."
Suddenly overwhelmed with grief, Da Huang whimpered softly twice, and tears streamed down its face, dripping onto its paws.
Feng Yan guessed correctly. The reason why the people living in the village, including Da Huang's owner, left the village was because the situation in the village was too bad and they simply couldn't survive there.
At that time, many people in the village had turned into zombies, and some of the livestock raised by each household were also infected. The situation was not optimistic. However, at first, the survivors hid in their own homes.
However, a powerful mutated plant soon appeared. Its vines were so developed that even with doors and windows tightly closed, the vines could pierce through them and enter people's homes, then pierce their bodies and drain their blood.
Those who were still alive at the time were plunged into despair.
Because no one with superpowers appeared, no one could deal with the mutated plant. Even if someone mustered the courage to cut the vines, they could only cut one or two, which was of no use at all.
So the survivors could only work together, carrying limited food and water, and desperately try to escape out of the area that the vines could reach.
The owner of the large yellow dog was one of them.
The reason the village is so peaceful now is because Da Huang awakened his psychic abilities when he was on the verge of death.
It hates zombies, it hates mutated plants, it hates everything that disrupts the peace of the village.
It gradually killed and cleaned up the zombies and mutated plants and animals in the village, restoring peace to the village.
Then it stayed in the village, in the house, helping its owner raise the surviving chickens, waiting for its owner to come home.
Little did it know that its owner had no intention of returning to that terrifying place. The words the owner said to Big Yellow when leaving were merely a pretext to get rid of it while fleeing for its life, not wanting it to cause any trouble.
If its owner had any pity for it at that time, they should have let it run away, as far as it could, instead of leaving it to guard the house and wait to die.
