244: Jiang Fei, who has bad luck

Gray Rat thought for a moment: "Last time, there were goats among the mutated animals that attacked. I wonder if there will be any this time."

"Miss Jiang, Brother Lu, do you want to come with us?"

"The Underground City has plenty of weapons; those mutated animals can't harm us at all."

Jiang Fei readily agreed. She and Lu Yu put on the bulletproof vests Gray Rat gave them, grabbed submachine guns, and went to the surface.

Gunshots and animal roars echoed, one after another.

Outside the club, a row of armored vehicles was parked to block animals from approaching.

Fully equipped people stood in front of the vehicles, sweeping their guns at the animals charging out of the gray fog.

Countless animals—leopards, wild boars, goats, wolves, bears, monkeys, and more—had fallen into a state of frenzy, roaring and pouncing at humans, trying to bite and attack, but were riddled with bullets.

However, the pungent smell of blood and the corpses of their companions did not make them retreat in the slightest; instead, they charged even more wildly.

These mutated animals had lived in the gray fog for a long time, and the impact on them was greater than on the animals in the Cultivation Park; they only thought of slaughter.

Jiang Fei and Lu Yu went to the edge.

Lu Yu was responsible for cover, and Jiang Fei took the opportunity to catch goats and put them into the Supermarket.

The breeding quota was limited, and it was inconvenient to check for gender, so she caught four goats.

Wild boar meat was not as tasty as ordinary pork, so Jiang Fei did not plan to catch them for breeding.

The attack ended after nearly two hours.

There were no casualties in the Underground City.

The ground was covered with animal carcasses, bringing smiles to everyone's faces.

"I just counted, there are over forty wild boars. Tonight, we can have a wild boar feast again."

"I hope the next attack brings chickens, ducks, and geese. I want to eat stewed dishes in an iron pot."

"Be content with having meat to eat. If these mutated animals hadn't gone crazy and attacked us upon smelling humans, we would still only be reminiscing about the taste of meat in our dreams."

"Actually, God is pretty good to us. He knows we lack supplies, so He sends so much food right to our doorstep."

"Hopefully, when the next natural disaster appears, you'll still be praising God."

Everyone chatted while moving the animal carcasses.

Jiang Fei did not participate; she followed Lu Yu back to the small villa on Underground -2 level.

She took out two tranquilizer guns and brought Lu Yu into the Supermarket.

"Meeeh--!"

Upon seeing people, the four goats, which had been wandering in the Supermarket warehouse, immediately rushed towards them.

Jiang Fei and Lu Yu quickly climbed onto the nearest shelf and fired tranquilizer guns.

One person handled two goats.

Soon, the tranquilizer took effect, and the four goats fell to the ground, unconscious.

Jumping down from the shelf, Jiang Fei checked the gender of the goats.

They could be distinguished by the shape of their horns, head size, color, and tail.

Unluckily, all four were male goats, unable to reproduce.

Unwilling to believe the fact, Jiang Fei checked the goats' reproductive organs again.

They were indeed male.

Her hopeful heart completely died.

It was impossible to raise four male goats. Jiang Fei only kept the youngest one and, with Lu Yu, dragged it to the sheepfold and locked it up.

After placing fountain water and fresh vegetables in the feed trough and water trough, Jiang Fei skinned and butchered the remaining three, saving the meat for later consumption.

As soon as she and Lu Yu exited the Supermarket, the doorbell rang.

It was Gray Rat.

He was carrying a bag in each hand.

One bag contained fresh meat, and the other contained equipment.

"Everyone has finished processing the wild boar meat. I picked a good piece of meat to bring to you. There are seasonings and cooking utensils in the kitchen, so you can roast it."

"This bag contains newly developed goggles and sun-protective clothing from the Underground City. They can protect against the highest level 5 UV rays, otherwise, if the sun appears one day, people's eyes and skin won't be able to handle it."

Gray Rat handed the two bags to Lu Yu: "The research institute has a total of over forty sets of goggles and sun-protective clothing. I secretly took these; you absolutely must not tell Brother Gu."

"I'll be busy tomorrow and won't have time to see you off. You can keep the villa key; Brother Gu originally left it for you anyway."

Lu Yu patted Gray Rat's shoulder: "If you get a chance to go to the Capital, I'll treat you."

"Alright, I miss that kid Su Liuyuan."

After a few words, Gray Rat left the villa.

Closing the door, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu looked at the equipment in the bags.

There were a total of 8 pairs of goggles and 10 long-sleeved, hooded sun-protective shirts.

The goggles looked very much like outdoor sunglasses for skiing or cycling.

The dark gray lenses were large enough to cover half of Jiang Fei's face.

The sun-protective clothing came in two colors, pink and gray, with 5 pieces for men and 5 for women.

She didn't know what material they were made of, but the clothes were light, silky smooth, and cool to the touch.

Jiang Fei and Lu Yu tried them on.

The hood was large, not only covering the forehead but also protecting the cheeks.

Zipping it up protected the neck.

The length of the clothes reached the ankles.

Even in weather above 30℃, wearing them would not feel stuffy or hot.

If it weren't for the scarcity of goggles and sun-protective clothing in the Underground City, both of them would have wanted to be "house thieves" again.

—

Early the next morning, Captain Lei notified Lu Yu via walkie-talkie to depart.

The mission was complete, and they were returning to the Capital.

Remembering to help Jiang Fei catch a female goat, Lu Yu requested leave from Captain Lei.

Captain Lei was easy to talk to and approved Lu Yu's request.

After breakfast, Lu Yu and Jiang Fei drove the Unimog out of Changhai to search for a female goat.

However, all they encountered were other mutated animals.

Since they couldn't be raised and the quota wasn't enough, Jiang Fei killed them and put them into the Supermarket warehouse, where she could eat them herself or sell them in the small mall.

After visiting several places, the two finally caught a female goat with a tranquilizer gun.

Looking at the horn rings on its horns, one ring represented one year of age. This female goat was one year older than the male goat in the Supermarket.

Jiang Fei sent the unconscious female goat into the Supermarket's sheepfold.

The male goat had already woken up, drank the fountain water, and returned to normal.

It tilted its head, looking at the new companion the humans had brought it.

Although it didn't understand what they were doing, it gently nudged Jiang Fei with its horns.

Immediately after, it raised its hoof and kicked the empty feed trough.

It was hungry.

Jiang Fei understood instantly and brought fresh vegetables to feed the male goat.

Lu Yu consciously went to get fountain water, filled the water trough, and asked:

"Have you thought of names for them?"

Hearing this, Jiang Fei looked at the two goats.

Their fur was pure white; both were white goats.

Their horns grew backward, like crescent moons.

The only difference was that the male goat's horns were larger, and the female goat's horns were smaller.

Jiang Fei was simple and direct: "The male goat is called Big Moon, and the female is called Little Moon."

Lu Yu: "..."

Lu Yu's gaze involuntarily fell on the rabbit hutch next door, and he boldly guessed:

"Are the rabbits' names Big White and Little White?"

"No, I didn't find any distinct features for the two little rabbits, so I didn't name them."

"What about the cows?"

"Big Black and Big White," Jiang Fei said proudly.

How great were the names she came up with, easy to remember and distinguish.

Lu Yu fell silent.

It seemed his neighbor had a thing for names starting with "Big."

Because of catching the female goat, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu were delayed for quite some time, only returning to the Capital a week later.

Outside the base's entrance and exit, many animals lay on the ground.

Some were shot dead, while others were tranquilized unconscious.

The uniformed Security Team and Rescue Team moved the unconscious animals onto the truck beds, preparing to transport them to the Cultivation Park for breeding.

The regular passages were blocked by trucks.

Jiang Fei was about to drive to the special passage when she spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
