Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Mutant Beast Attack
Chapter 29 -29 Mutant Beast Attack
At night, Han Jiaojiao was too excited to sleep. Han Yi stayed by her side, gently patting her back, coaxing her to sleep.
Han Jiaojiao tossed and turned, thrilled at the thought that they had formed a little team. With food, guns, and people, things felt incredibly good. She was sure things would get even better, haha.
Han Yi, feeling helpless, asked, “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
Han Jiaojiao rolled over, resting on Han Yi’s chest, “Brother, let’s go shopping tomorrow. I still have a lot of pocket money left, and since money won’t be of any use later, let’s spend it all!”
Counting on her fingers, she continued, “Also, I want to eat desserts—there won’t be any to eat later. Hey! Maybe we should buy a lot. Didn’t you say last time that time passes very slowly in the ‘space’? Wouldn’t that mean the food we throw in there would have a super long shelf life? I want to buy roast duck! Oh, and lots and lots of bananas, oranges, and various kinds of fast food meals. When we’re on missions outside and it’s inconvenient to cook, we can just take them out and eat!”
Han Jiaojiao chattered nonstop, and Han Yi, watching her delicate lips move, could barely hold back and teasingly threatened, “Baby, if you don’t go to sleep now, brother might start doing something naughty.”
Han Jiaojiao blushed and burrowed into his arms, whining coquettishly. “I can’t sleep…”
“Be good, sleep well, and tomorrow morning, brother will take you shopping.”
Eventually, Han Jiaojiao closed her eyes. She thought she would stay excited for a while longer but quickly fell asleep nestled in her brother’s arms…
In the middle of the night, Han Jiaojiao thought she heard something and groggily sat up, only to find Han Yi standing by the window, seemingly looking at something—usually, he would have returned to his own room after she fell asleep.
“…Brother, you haven’t slept yet?” Her voice was lazy and half-awake.
Han Yi turned around and came over, patting her head, “Sleep, your brother is going to sleep now, too.”
“But I think I heard a noise.”
“Hmm, it’s just the neighbors moving, go back to sleep.”
The villas here were built adjacent to the woods, so it was very quiet at night. The nearest neighbors were more than two hundred meters away, so it was unlikely for any sounds to carry over. However, Han Jiaojiao was too tired to think further and fell back into a deep sleep.
Han Yi pulled the curtains shut and quietly left the room.
Yan Xiao and Xiao Jian had just come up, carrying rifles, both wearing somber expressions.
“How’s the situation over there?”
Xiao Jian shook his head, “No survivors. We’ve already turned on the electric fence.”
Han Yi then looked at Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao’s face was somewhat pale, but he was still in good spirits, giving a strained smile, “I’m okay, just used my ability and felt a bit drained.”
“Be more careful next time,” Han Yi said, then glanced downstairs, “Where’s Changyuan?”
“Changyuan went to check the fence in the yard. The cat’s tooth was still hanging on it.”
“Be careful tomorrow when you go out. These mutant beasts are likely to run into the urban areas.”
“Understood.”
The next day, Han Jiaojiao got out of bed happily, thinking about shopping with her brother. She gleefully opened the wardrobe to choose clothes. Considering the last dress was torn by her brother… and also, in case they encountered situations on the road, a skirt wouldn’t be practical. Han Jiaojiao put aside the skirt and changed into a lively sporty outfit. After washing up, she ran to Han Yi’s room and said with a bit of flattery, “Brother! Do I look good in this outfit?”
She twirled in front of Han Yi and then stepped closer, showing an “I’m being good, so please praise me” expression.
Han Yi pulled her into his arms and gave her a long kiss, saying, “Morning kiss.”
With the boost from the ‘morning kiss’ buff, Han Jiaojiao cheerfully went downstairs. There was milk and bread on the table, and the men had already eaten. Yan Xiao and Lu Changyuan were not around, and Xiao Jian sat alone on the sofa watching the news on TV.
A minute later, Han Yi also came downstairs. He wore a simple black T-shirt, camo cargo pants, and dark military boots, his figure tall and slender, exuding both the elegance of a noble and the formidable aura of a soldier.
Han Jiaojiao’s eyes instantly lit up, “Brother, you look so handsome!”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jian looked confused at this moment, and Han Jiaojiao only then realized that Xiao Jian’s outfit was almost identical to her brother’s… But she had never paid attention to the daily outfits of these men…
Han Jiaojiao felt a bit embarrassed.
……
As she stepped outside, Han Jiaojiao smelled a familiar scent that she hadn’t sensed in a long time. Besides the familiar stench in the air, there was also the smell of something burnt.
Han Jiaojiao noticed the remaining blood stains on the protective net and asked Han Yi in surprise, “Brother, did a Mutant Beast come by last night?”
“Yes, the neighbor’s pet got out. Some cats with strong jumping abilities climbed up and bit the net.” Their protective net had not been electrified at the time, and luckily, since the Mutant Beasts had grown larger, they were blocked outside the net, otherwise, they might have really gotten in.
In this area of villas, the wealthy owned many pets, and their neighbors had several large dogs, which were all fierce breeds prohibited in the urban area.
Han Jiaojiao was annoyed that such a big incident had occurred last night, and she had slept through it.
Han Yi drove a car out of the garage, Han Jiaojiao got into the passenger seat, and Han Yi kissed her as he did so.
“Be good, buckle up.”
“I know,” she responded… Lately, the kisses were becoming more frequent, as if her brother could never get enough of her.
Han Jiaojiao thought shyly, while pretending to be calm as she searched for a topic.
“Uh… is everything okay at that neighbor’s house?”
“Xiao Jian checked it out, no survivors,” Han Yi paused, then added, “They had six dogs and two cats, all of which had mutated. A few of them came over to our side and were killed by Xiao Jian and Yan Xiao.”
Hearing this, Han Jiaojiao subconsciously touched the pistol on her waist, the cold, hard feel of it giving her a sense of security.
“Scared?” Han Yi asked her.
Han Jiaojiao shook her head.
How could she be scared? She had not only killed but also eaten such things. Despite their sharp claws and strong bodies, these creatures were far less terrifying than humans.
—Almost no one was seen on the streets, and many shops were closed except for large shopping centers and some malls that were still open.
As they drove, they saw patrolling police squads, all dressed in riot gear, holding weapons, and marching in step on several main roads of the city. It was also because of this that the city’s security had remained relatively stable without any large-scale chaos.
Han Jiaojiao and Han Yi entered a mall, and she whispered into his ear, “Brother, I want to go buy some underwear.”
Han Yi looked at her, smiling, “Didn’t I buy you a lot already?”
Han Jiaojiao glared at him somewhat defiantly, “What if I grow bigger…?” She thought it would be sensible to buy some of every size.
Han Yi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled indulgently, “I forgot, my little Jiaojiao is still growing.”

Han Jiaojiao reached out to cover his mouth, “Ah, stop it, you’re so annoying!”
Laughing and joking, they went to the lingerie counter and really bought some of every size. Han Jiaojiao got teased by Han Yi so much that she grew a thicker skin and even boldly picked out many men’s underwear for him. Afterward, they nearly cleaned out every floor of the mall, both quite happy and surprisingly not feeling tired. They finally went to a restaurant for a meal, and Han Jiaojiao snatched the menu, pointing here and there—
“This one, this, and this one. Except for these few, order double of everything else.”
The waiter was dumbfounded.
Han Yi noticed the few dishes Han Jiaojiao didn’t want were all types of offal. It seemed that the treasure had figured out her dietary preferences. Although he had no particular favorites in food, there were a few things he would absolutely not touch, such as offal.
The smile on the corners of Han Yi’s mouth deepened, and he actually felt that the apocalyptic world arriving was a good thing…
