A group of people smoothly returned to the stadium with what they had found in the farmers market. Company Commander Zhang was delighted to see the fruitful harvest they had brought back.


“Zhan Yun, you can rest assured that you can have some of these things, but your car is too small. I’m afraid these things will not be very easy to take with you, and they will attract people’s attention. So they should be placed in our army first. When I get back to the base, I’m sure I’ll give a lot back. Don’t worry, I can write you a note to prove it right away." Knowing that this operation had only gone so smoothly with the help of Zhan Yun and his team, Company Commander Zhang offered to distribute the collected materials to them.


“No need. We trust you, Lieutenant Zhang.”


Later, the search and rescue team returned, bringing back more than a hundred people. They did not know why there were so few survivors in A city but could only guess that most of them had fled the city or had gone into hiding elsewhere.


It was the end of a three-day rescue operation in City A. In order to give some clues to the survivors who were hiding or unable to hear the broadcasted news, they sprayed the directions to the Southern Survivors Base on the walls of many buildings with red paint and wrote the numbers of the radio station. So, as long as the survivors could turn on the radio, they would know the latest news.


The day was still unbearably hot. Everyone had a day’s rest in the gymnasium, and Lieutenant Zhang contacted Commander Jiang by radio. After returning to the service area at night and joining the army, he would go directly to the base.


It was only when they returned to the service area at night that they found several soldiers carrying bodies.


“What happened?” Lieutenant Zhang hurried off to inquire.


There was a little accident in the service area. Several survivors were too lazy to line up for drinking water and secretly drank the water from the tap, which caused accidental infection and mutation. The sudden appearance of the zombies caused great panic among the people and almost made a huge deal. Fortunately, the soldiers acted in a timely manner to control the situation, which did not cause many casualties, but still killed more than a dozen people.


The crowd shook their heads, then got out and entered the service area.


Su Ruizhe and Zhan Yun could finally drive their own comfortable off-road vehicle. As for the siblings Cheng Qi and Cheng Jiao, they could only squeeze in the trunk with Zheng Jiahe. Although there were a lot of off-road vehicles in Su Ruizhe’s space, there was also a high-end off-road vehicle identical to theirs. If they coupled with the brand new one, they'd be too eye-catching, and it would only make them targets. After waiting on the road, they would see if there were any suitable cars on the road, then just pick up a car and drive it away.


Zhang Yun went to Zhao Bing and prepared to bring the kitten back together in the winter, but they saw a very dramatic scene.


They didn't know how the little black cat climbed up a pole, but refused to come down dead or alive. Little Yu Dongdong held his head high and looked from below, worried and anxious. His eyes were almost overflowing with tears. Zhao Bing and the other men scratched their ears and cheeks trying to think about how to get Xiao Hei down…


“What’s going on here?”


“Brother!” As soon as Yu Dongdong saw Su Ruizhe, his eyes lit up. He pointed to Xiao Hei on the pole and said, “Xiao Hei doesn’t know what’s wrong. He slept for a long time. He ran out as soon as he woke up in front of him and refused to let me hold him… Does it dislike me now? Whoo…”


The child was so wronged when his little companion ignored him. It really made him sad.


“Dongdong is good, don’t cry, Dongdong is so lovely. How can Xiao Hei not like you? It will come down soon.” Su Ruizhe persuaded the little fellow and gave a glance to Zhan Yun.


The corner of Zhan Yun's mouth twitched. He hated climbing high.


So Zhan Yun gave another look at Zheng Jiahe. Zheng Jiahe pointed his finger at himself dully. After Zhan Yun nodded impatiently, he suddenly realized that he had to come forward.


Zheng Jiahe has great strength and was very useful when climbing the pole. He climbed quickly and steadily. He quickly grabbed Xiao Hei’s tail. “Haha ha, I caught you…”


Before he finished, all of Xiao Hei's hair stood on end, and he started to scratched him with his claws and then bit Zheng Jiahe’s ear.


The next moment, Zheng Jiahe’s eyes suddenly slowly closed, and he fell down like he lost his soul.


“Zheng Jiahe!” Zhan Yun rushed out and manipulated Zheng Jiahe's body with his own gravity powers just in time, making him float down slowly like a feather.


Zheng Jiahe opened his eyes soon after he landed.


“Meow?” Zheng Jiahe landed on the ground with his hands and feet at the same time. He curled up like a cat and made a cat cry with his head crooked.


Zhao Bing and his team and Zhan Yun and his team:…


“Meow meow?!” Then Xiao Hei jumped three feet high, panicked and gave a quick cry.


What was going on?


Everyone was confused.


“Xiao Hei?” Dongdong blinked his eyes and stretched out his hand towards the Xiao Hei on the ground.


“Meow!” However, Zheng Jiahe's face was filled with excitement as he rushed towards Dongdong, as if he was going to jump on him.


Although Zheng Jiahe was thin, he was still very tall. If he pressed on the little bean sprout Dongdong, he will surely crush him to death!


Su Ruizhe quickly blocked in front of Dongdong, and reached out to stop the person, but Zheng Jiahe’s strength was too great. He pushed his hand on Zheng Jiahe, but just like on a wall, not only failed to stop him, but also was knocked down.


Zhang Shuoliang used earth to trap Zheng Jiahe’s feet in the ground, which finally prevented him from continuing to rush forward.


“Meow!” Zheng Jiahe looked wronged, meowing and meowing all the time…


“Meow meow meow meow!!! Meow meow meow meow meow!" The Xiao Hei cat also jumped up and down beside him. The soft and low voice of the milk cat became a little sharp. Its claws were so sharp that it made several deep traces directly on the ground.


“I feel like I know what’s going on…” Song Chengshu suddenly opened his mouth and said.


The crowd was vaguely aware of what it was, but was only a little incredulous.


Song Chengshu went over and grabbed the little black cat with both hands. He looked at its round eyes and asked, “Zheng Jiahe?”


The little black cat nodded.


They all looked at Zheng Jiahe on the ground. They saw him still acting like a cat. They looked at the hands, feet and face, which he could obviously not use.


It seemed that the kitten and Zheng Jia exchanged bodies. Su Ruizhe thought that the kitten should have evolved. He had heard that animals could evolve in the last life and had some mythical abilities, just like human beings. But there were only a few such cases. He could not imagine that Xiao Hei, merely a two month old kitten, could evolve.


“What about now? Will the two of them be like this all the time?"


“I don’t know. Take them to the car first. Don’t delay the departure of the team.”


They immediately took the black cat and Zheng Jiahe with them and set off with the team, as ordered by Zhan Yun.


Fortunately, about three hours later, Xiao Hei and Zheng Jiahe changed back.


“Oh my God! That was horrible! I thought I would be a cat forever!” Zheng Jiahe held his head with a lingering fear.


“Who told you to grab the Xiao Hei's tail? You deserve to be bitten!” Song Chengshu gave him a silent and angry look.


According to the results of their discussion, they believe that Xiao Hei’s power was to be able to exchange bodies with others and to replicate each other’s ability. When Zheng Jiahe was in Xiao Hei’s body, his claws were extremely sharp and powerful, and Xiao Hei had the same strength when he was in Zheng Jiahe’s body.


It wasn't known if Xiao Hei’s powers had other functions, but it could only be explored slowly in the future. After all, Xiao Hei was only a cat, not a man. They couldn't discuss with him.


The way to the base was relatively smooth. They rested during the day and marched at night. It took about four days. Finally, in the morning of the fifth day, they arrived at the survivor base established by the Southern Military Region.


The South Base was rebuilt from a small town. The walls of the base were five meters high, but they have not yet been built completely. Nonetheless the frame looked tall enough. Through the gate of the base, they could see that many people were busy.


The convoy stopped and had to register before entering the base, such as name, age and so on, and inform them of some regulations and rules of the base. Then they would be given a white card with their basic personal information, which served as their temporary residence card. After a week, it could be exchanged for a formal ID card.


All survivors could enter the base free of charge and with arranged accommodation, but the base would only provide free accommodation and meals for three days, after which they would need to earn their own share of work in exchange for rent and food.


This news raised discontentment from some survivors, but the world was different now. Materials were very scarce. It was impossible to get something for nothing and lie on the back of the state.


They learned about the work system here. For example, if a man worked hard to help build the base, he could get five points a day. The same goes for a woman that could help with cooking and cleaning. There were three jobs a day, a month’s work, and additional rewards. A work point could be exchanged for two white steamed buns or a steamed bun and a bowl of soup. Accommodation only required one work point. It could be said that as long as you are willing to work, there would always be food and shelter. Although all of them lived in Datong District, they were definitely more frightened when they were outside.


If survivors carry some goods with them, they could be exchanged for work points, which can be exchanged for better shelter and better food, or other living necessities.



The author has something to say:


When we go to the base, we can open a new map. Xiao Hei’s power will have other functions in the future. My brain hole is so big.
