Although Lionel and Damian restrained their strength, the underground bunker was still in a slight but continuous vibration. Happiness took a clean set of underwear that Eliot had prepared and felt a wave of sadness. She wondered how Route and Eliot were doing now... Happiness couldn't wait for Damian or Lionel to administer the so-called medicine to her. After cleaning the wound, she found a capsule of anti-inflammatory medicine and dissolved the powder in a small basin of warm water. Squatting down, she carefully applied the medicine with her fingertips, causing her to tremble in pain. She gritted her teeth and put on her pants, expecting some discharge from the injury, so she placed a thin layer of tissue paper. Finally, she put on her clothes one by one and sat on Alexander's side of the stool, holding a pillow and staring blankly at Alexander's sleeping face.
Vincent hesitated for a moment and followed Happiness into the room. He was originally asleep but was awakened by the commotion caused by Lionel and Damian. After observing for a while, he roughly understood what was happening.
"What's the matter? I thought something big happened," Vincent complained unhappily. "Now I can't fall back asleep because of this."
Happiness shook her head, not in the mood to explain to a simple-minded python what jealousy and attempted rape were. She was lost in her own thoughts.
Just then, Abyssyus on the opposite bed suddenly moved. Vincent keenly noticed a change in the leopard's demeanor. He lifted his tail and gently tapped Happiness with the tip, saying, "Look, he's awake!" Vincent's strength was tremendous, and he rarely touched the little girl directly. But with this tap, Happiness was sent flying and fell straight off the stool!
Vincent was shocked. He was just trying to remind the absent-minded Happiness to look at the leopard named Abyssyus. Didn't she worry about them all the time? He only used the softest part of his tail to gently tap her, so why did she have such a resentful expression and curl up in the corner, trembling?!
Vincent hesitantly swam up and gently poked Happiness with his tail, but Happiness remained curled up in a ball without any change.
"Happiness...Happiness..." Abyssyus had just woken up and witnessed the entire tragedy. He struggled to uncover the blanket and managed to get out of bed, wanting to check Happiness's injuries.
Happiness's right side and half of her back were in excruciating pain, along with the torn wound between her legs. Overwhelmed with sadness, she couldn't help but forcefully push away the silver snake tail and burst into tears. This was the most direct and effective way to vent her frustration.
At this moment, Abyssyus was at a loss and couldn't approach to comfort Happiness due to his lack of strength. The snake that caused the accident secretly slinked back to the room, and Alexander, who had just taken medicine, couldn't wake up for a while. Lionel and Damian were still fighting outside the bunker.
"Happiness, did your bones break? Don't cry, my dear. If you can move, crawl over here and let me take a look." Abyssyus said with difficulty, sitting down on the ground as he couldn't muster any strength to stand up. His high fever and virus had drained him completely. However, Abyssyus wasn't overly worried because if Happiness had suffered a serious injury, she wouldn't be able to cry so loudly.
Compared to the torn wounds below, Happiness was more seriously injured by Vincent's tail.
In fact, Happiness was not angry with Vincent at all. She was just venting her frustration. But Vincent seemed to be scared by her. He hid at the door and listened until she stopped crying before he came in, receiving a glare from Ino.
Vincent's lower body is no longer a snake tail. He has turned his tail into legs and put on a pair of pants that Bern bought for him. Maybe this way he can get rid of the bad habits of poking people, hitting people, holding remote controls, holding water cups, wiping his butt, and so on with his tail. Who knows... he can even use his tail to masturbate if he needs to...
Vincent lowered his head and, following the principle of proximity, helped Abyssyus up first. Abyssyus was itching with hatred. The parabola Happiness threw him before left a deep impression!
"Go and bring Happiness over for a check-up!" Abyssyus said impatiently.
"Oh." Vincent awkwardly walked towards Happiness.
The little girl was brought to the bed, and Abyssyus uncovered her clothes to take a look. There were large patches of bruises inside, but luckily no bones were broken. Happiness barely supported her waist and said to Abyssyus, "Abyssyus, you finally woke up. We were so worried about you..."
Ignoring the "we," Abyssyus was clearly very happy. She hadn't been involved in Happiness's interactions with the beasts these days, and her usual attitude towards him was just like that. Now she actively expressed her concern, which was really not easy.
"Happiness!" Abyssyus said stupidly, "Are you worried about me? I'm so happy!"
Abyssyus is really easy to please... Happiness smiled with squinted eyes and then grimaced while rubbing her waist. Vincent seemed to want to make up for it and awkwardly said, "My hands are too cold, otherwise I will help you."
"No need, thank you!" Happiness shouted.
"Happiness, you didn't cry like this when you were more seriously injured last time." Abyssyus leaned against the pillow and slowly said, "What happened? You didn't cry just because you were hit with a tail."
Happiness shook her head. "Abyssyus, you just woke up. Don't talk so much. Lie down and rest. I'm fine, it's just a bit suffocating living here."
Vincent instinctively raised one leg and was about to use his bare foot to press the green bell. Happiness glared at him, and he immediately realized his mistake and put his leg down. He used his finger to press the doorbell instead. Lionel had instructed him to press the bell immediately if Abyssyus woke up or if there was any abnormal reaction from the two patients.
"Abyssyus, I'll go back to the room first. The doctor will come to check on you and do a simple examination. Alexander has done it too." Happiness said, "Vincent, you stay here with Abyssyus. After the examination, go and call Lionel and... Damian back."
Happiness hobbled back to the room, and Vincent's tail was really a pain!
It should be about time for them to be done. Happiness began to worry. It was just a small matter for them. She wasn't seriously injured or anything, so they should be able to handle it. Speaking of which, it was strange for her. She had already decided to accept it, but still couldn't muster the courage. It was also Damian's fault, being so rough and barbaric in his actions. Any woman would be afraid and resist.
The iron door of the dungeon opened, and someone came in. Happiness peeked out through the crack in the door. It wasn't the two who were fighting, but two veterinarians in white coats. She gently closed the door and prayed for Alexander to recover soon. She also missed Lu, Ate, Andy, and Eugene. She missed the soup Eugene made... Everyone should be safe and sound!
...
"I have been waiting for this day."
In the depths of her mind, Noah faintly heard Moses' voice.
Behind Noah stood a group of Cleansing Seeds that filled the entire ice field. Yes, Cleansing Seeds, possessing intelligence, human memories, and unshakable steel bodies.
Under her feet was a sea of city lights.
No one is born an immortal warrior. These purified beings may have been teachers, students, workers, civil servants, or white-collar workers in their previous lives. They died from the zombie virus, but were reborn after being frozen for a thousand years. It's hard to say whether it's lucky or unfortunate, and they can't see much of the future. From the moment they woke up, they only knew to follow Moses' goal and reclaim that vast blue planet. No one forced them to make a choice. Humans are social animals. As long as they have a common goal, they will support each other and survive together until the final destruction comes.
Maya held a double-edged sword and stood beside Noah. Suddenly, she felt a moment of trance in her mind and remembered Aaron's simple words. What else can be done after conquering the world and reclaiming the planet? Because of his unforgivable act of betrayal, Aaron was deprived of the right to live. His body is now occupied by another brain, while his brain has been secretly preserved by Maya. For some reason, Maya does not want Aaron to disappear like this.
The basement of the second district is just a scare tactic and a smoke bomb. Happiness, this rare creature, and two new virus-infected individuals were secretly transported to the underground of the tenth district. None of the residents knew that their recent idol was living underground in the tenth district. Of course, Happiness herself was aware of it.
Lionel and Damian had a fierce fight outside the city, and both sides were able to vent their frustrations to some extent. They were about to go back when they heard the piercing sound of the alarm from inside the city.
This is the highest level of alarm, and its meaning is self-evident.
In an instant, the two beasts immediately realized what was happening and rushed towards the entrance to the basement hidden in the residential area. It's not that they are afraid of battle. There are many beasts that can fight. But the power to protect Happiness is only in their hands.
Jumping into the basement, they activated the mechanism to hide the entrance within the wall. Lanze quickly approached and supported Happiness, who was leaning against the wall with a panicked expression.
"Is there a fight going on outside?" Happiness asked. She often watched TV and knew that this kind of intense alarm sound meant a high level of danger.
"Yeah, don't worry, our army is well-prepared. We're just afraid they won't come." Lionel said, "This place is safe, no need to be afraid."
"Do these stupid ancient beings really think that the beast clan leader is going to the deserted island with Happiness? Idiots! We, the beast clan, are not fools. We have long anticipated that they would definitely come during the extreme cold of February!" Damian was restless. Personally, he would rather go out and fight to his heart's content than stay in the underground.
"Turn on the TV." Lionel said decisively.
Damian and Happiness didn't really have any specific conflicts. With the alarm sounding, they let go of their previous grievances. Happiness squeezed next to him, and Xiu held her small hand. The two nervously stared at the 42-inch TV screen in the living room. With the highest level of alarm, there wouldn't be any war reporters on TV, broadcasting first-hand news. If someone dared to do that, they would definitely be cursed to death. When the same clan is fighting, how can you still have the mood to hold a camera and find a good angle? Of course, SSTV's synchronized news is an exception. This TV station has never had any shame, and everyone is used to it.
But Lionel is a senior tech geek. He stuffed a ball of cotton into his nose to stop the nosebleed caused by Damian's punch. He wiped his hands and brought out his precious computer. Even Happiness is not allowed to touch this computer. Happiness and Damian watched as he performed a magic trick by connecting a few wires to the TV. The TV screen flashed, and dozens of images appeared immediately, including the areas outside and inside the fifth district, streets, and houses. Almost all important strategic points in the fifth district were on display!
"Wow! Lionel, you're amazing!" Happiness said in astonishment. Then she noticed that the bottom left corner of the screen showed her own room, with the bathroom and toilet next to it...
"Damn, you're peeking at Happiness in your room every day. Disgusting!" Damian cursed.
"Cough cough..." Lionel quickly manipulated his fingers, and Happiness's room and toilet were soon replaced by other images.
"Ah, it's Ben!" Happiness stretched his neck and saw the golden big dog on the screen. The dog's joints were bound with sharp spikes, and its teeth and nails were reinforced with metal, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.
"You're mistaken, that's not Ben," Damian said a bit annoyed. How could Happiness recognize a beast-like Ben? If she was given a group of Alexander wolves, she definitely wouldn't be able to recognize who Damian was!
"No, he is Ben," Happiness clasped her hands together, greedily watching every move of the big dog. "We must be careful, he mustn't die or get injured!"
"I think it's difficult," Damian snorted. "The combat power of the canine clan is weak, and Lou is not an aggressive breed. He's more suitable as a large plush toy for the little girl to play with. A purification breed, hm, he might die as soon as he goes out."
"No, he won't die!" Happiness stared at Damian and shouted angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense," Lionel stopped Damian's complaining. He had already offended Happiness enough, did he want to make her cry again?
Speaking of which, the two professional veterinarians were really ethical. They didn't come out to watch the live monitoring until they had finished documenting, extracted Enno's serum, and administered medicine to him, and all the indicators were stable.
"We won't go up either," Veterinarian A said. "It's good to stay here, we can have more people to protect Happiness."
Veterinarian B nodded. "This monitoring is good, but it's not allowed for personal use."
Lionel ignored them. Official people always liked to nitpick and find faults in everything.
