Although his younger brothers disagreed with the marriage and had already planned to kill Xie Chiyuan, human nature dictates that a little romance can always be found.
If Xie Chiyuan dies, he might leave his dowry to their eldest brother.
So, after much deliberation, Little Butterfly decided to get Xie Chiyuan's dowry back.
The magician's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and said, "On the very day that Ruan Ke made the nutritional paste and wanted to trade with us, Xie Chiyuan made outrageous demands, asking for a price that was enough for him to marry ten wives!"
Little Butterfly: "..."
Little butterfly: "Oh."
The little butterfly gave up on pursuing the goal of getting a wife and flew out the window.
The magician behind him watched his retreating figure and cursed viciously, "Damn it, these mutants and Xie Chiyuan are all just as inhuman!"
It's a good thing they don't get along, otherwise, if they were to collude, who could withstand them!
The magician was furious. He took out his phone and called Red Bird: "Don't recruit any more A-sequence aberrations. They're all hopeless."
Although A08 is the easiest to fool, the magician knows perfectly well that, just like A06, he will definitely pounce on the boy named Yu An without hesitation as soon as he sees him.
That's fucking weird.
The magician couldn't understand what it was about that pretty boy, who was like a vase, that made these perverted monsters so devoted to following him.
Aberrant individuals are born egoists; this is an irreversible nature.
All the variants of Yu An are those who prioritize Yu An above all else.
In Yin Feng's room, all the nutritional pastes he brought from the island were kept there. He protected them very well, and not a single box was missing.
Pei Si remained calm and took a complete inventory.
After taking inventory, he began to show signs of frustration, pacing anxiously in front of the nutritional paste: "Brother Xie, can you find An'an? Where are we supposed to look for her?"
Yin Feng kept a straight face and couldn't answer.
The profits from the nutritional paste trade brought them no joy at the moment; all they wanted to know was where Yu An had gone.
On the other side.
Amidst the pile of fluffy fur, several red marks were imprinted on Yu Anshui's face.
He woke up yawning and saw that it was finally a little quieter outside the store.
The flow of time here seems to be different from that outside. Yu An knew that by entering this place, he had definitely escaped from reality.
The eight-eyed creature he saw before entering was most likely just an illusion.
"Xiao Jiu, can we leave from here?"
Yu An, carrying the little mushroom on his shoulder, asked as he walked.
Xiao Jiu lowered her umbrella in shame and replied to her elder brother, "We can't get out for now. I've checked, and this place is like a tortoise shell; we can't break through it."
Upon hearing this, Yu An was not discouraged, but instead asked, "Is there still any possibility for us to get out?"
Xiao Jiu nodded firmly and assured them, "We'll get out. It's a war of attrition right now. We're currently inside the mutant's mutant energy, and the enemy will get tired from using their abilities too."
"We'll leave when he can't hold on any longer."
To be honest, this kind of mutation isn't very dangerous to its own kind; it's just disgusting. It's like being locked in a small, dark room. If it were a female bull, being locked in such a room would be quite unpleasant.
Xiao Jiu could sense that Ba Zai was here, but he wasn't a GPS and couldn't pinpoint Ba Zai's location.
I stayed in the dark room for several days.
Yu An already knew from Xiao Jiu that Ba Zai was most likely here, but strangely, he couldn't find him no matter how hard he looked.
People in Z city are fleeing outwards.
Only Yu An acted like a life enthusiast, searching the entire city for a print shop.
"Big brother, we don't have a photo of Bazai, how do we print a missing person notice?" Xiao Jiu used mycelium to push aside a zombie that was about to enter, and spoke to Yu An.
Yu An sat in front of the computer, her face a little pale.
According to the time here, he hadn't eaten for several days. Without Xie Chiyuan's milk or blood, he was getting hungry faster than ever before.
"There are photos of Bazai." Yu An clicked on the screen with the mouse, staring intently at the large screen.
Xiao Jiu asked in confusion, "Big brother, I don't remember you being able to draw."
If the eldest brother wants a photo of Bazai, he can only rely on his memory to draw it, but as far as I can remember, the eldest brother can't draw at all.
Yu An cannot draw.
He calmly searched for information about octopuses online, then selected those that resembled his own child.
After looking around for a while, Yu An picked out a photo.
Xiao Jiu: "..."
Xiao Jiu stared at the octopus picture online in silence for a long time before finally raising her head and asking hesitantly, "Big brother, if I got lost, would you also search for mushroom pictures online and post missing person notices?"
Without hesitation, Yu An nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Jiu's childlike voice, tinged with a sense of vicissitude, said: "I will definitely not get lost again."
If the missing child poster features a mushroom, and that gets out, he'll be a disgraced figure in the underworld. Of course, if the missing child poster features an octopus, it wouldn't be much better.
The print shop has plenty of paper.
Yu Anhao printed eight hundred copies and started distributing them outside.
He distributed flyers in a very unique way. Relying on the fact that he was a bitter-smelling little zombie and wouldn't be eaten by other zombies, he boldly stuck the flyers directly onto the zombie's back.
It took an unknown amount of time, but the zombies throughout the city were basically all running around carrying flyers.
Yu An's pale cheeks looked even worse.
He leaned against the wall and slowly sat down: "Alright, Ba Zai will definitely see the missing child notice. Xiao Jiu, let's just wait patiently."
Xiao Jiu had been observing his condition. Seeing that her older brother was getting weaker and weaker, Xiao Jiu didn't show it on her face, but she was actually thinking about what to feed him.
Xie Chiyuan's blood.
Small flowers that bloom from the variant in the North District.
Perhaps there's also... roasted mushrooms from A09.
Xiao Jiu climbed onto Yu An's shoulder, nuzzled Yu An's cheek affectionately, and said in a soft voice, "Big brother, I heard that human barbecue is delicious. Shall I make you some barbecue?"
Yu An had her eyes half-closed, as if she were resting.
He picked the small mushroom and smiled, "No need, things are so chaotic right now, nobody knows how to barbecue, and besides, I'm not human."
He can't get full even if he eats barbecue.
He had been locked up in this dark room in Z City for too long. He didn't know how much time had passed in the outside world, but time here certainly felt incredibly long.
Whether by design or not, the entire city of Z is currently experiencing a water shortage.
Yu An managed to find a few bottles of drinks, but he couldn't find a single bottle of mineral water. He guessed that the water shortage was also a deliberate attempt to target his nephew.
Xiao Jiu ignored Yu An's advice and got up to look for something.
Before long, he found the kind of barbecue cart that people set up stalls.
The trolley was fairly clean, and the stand on top was usable.
Xiao Jiu lit a fire, chopped some mushrooms, and started grilling. The aroma of the grilled mushrooms quickly filled the air, making Xiao Jiu want to take a bite.
"etc."
Just as Xiao Jiu was about to finish grilling the mushrooms, he suddenly thought of a very important question.
"Big brother!"
Xiao Jiu turned around, looking at Yu An with a blank expression: "Do you still remember what kind of mushroom I was? Was I a poisonous mushroom?"
Yu An kept her eyes closed and nodded listlessly.
He said in a natural tone, "Little one, even though you are only a poisonous mushroom, you are still my favorite little mushroom."
He doesn't like the other non-toxic ones either.
Xiao Jiu became so withdrawn that she didn't want to talk.
This grilled mushroom meal was a complete waste; my older brother couldn't eat it at all.
A09's barbecue career ended in a disastrous failure right from the start. With a heavy heart, he pushed the grilled mushrooms aside, preparing to find another way to feed his older brother.
Just then, a small, thirsty octopus slowly crawled over from not far away.
Xiao Jiu: "!"
Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with great joy, "Big brother, the grilled squid is here!"
The slowly crawling grilled squid suddenly stopped, its tentacles pausing abruptly. The next second, it transformed into a crazed little octopus and crashed into Xiao Jiu.
The grilled squid slammed its head against the wall, cursing, "You damn mushroom, who are you calling a grilled squid!"
Xiao Jiu, holding a barbecue fork, neither dodged nor avoided it, excitedly charged towards the grilled squid.
Yu An, who was awakened by the baby's voice, was caught off guard by this scene, and the hair on his head almost stood up!
Chapter 58
Little Nine, its eyes gleaming, was poking at the fork when an octopus with a missing child poster on one of its small tentacles angrily slapped the fork away.
Yu An, who had just regained consciousness, glared and shouted, "No fighting!"
In the past, the lab was always full of kids fighting each other, especially the bully Xiao Ba, who would start fights every now and then.
Before Yu An could even process his overwhelming emotions of reunion, the scene before him instantly transported him back to the time when he was dealing with the kids fighting.
Xiao Jiu was still stubbornly shouting, "I want to roast him!"
Xiao Ba was quick to anger, and he defiantly waved his dry, dehydrated little tentacles: "Come on, come on! Let's see who can roast whom!"
Yu An stood up, leaning against the wall, and then walked over in a few steps.
He grabbed one of the kids in each hand, his face stern as he lectured, "I said no fighting, didn't you hear me?"
