T/N: Might or might not have gotten too drunk on last Sat and completely forgotten to post the chapter, then was too lazy to turn my laptop and procrastinated until today…

The death of the level five mutated animal heralded the end of the battle between human and beast. After the final desperate struggles of the level four mutated gorilla, it finally whimpered and fell to the ground.

The mutated animals scattered around that were chasing the evolved people seemed to sense the demise of their king. As if losing their sense of purpose, the animal tide surrounding the River Glory Base began to slowly disperse.

“What’s going on?”

Before the evolved people who were running for their lives could react, the mutated animals behind them gradually began to turn and run, as if something was chasing them. For a moment, everyone was stunned.

The crow evolved man flapped his wings strenuously and flew to the huge fir beside him. After stabilizing his body, he looked in the direction of the moat from a distance, but all he could see were layers of treetops.

The four-meter-tall behemoth that could have been seen before and the sky-shattering animal roars that could be heard from far away were all gone, and silence was restored in the woods outside the base.

The crow evolved man seemed to sense something. He flapped his wings violently, and while flying down, he exclaimed happily, “We made it! There are no more mutated animals over there! Boss and the others won!!”

“Well, damn! Boss is awesome!”

“Oh my God! I can finally rest! I’m exhausted…”

“Boss is the best! Our base can now usher in a new spring, haha.”

“…”

The evolved people scattered in the forest gradually heard the news, and joy spread among them like wildfire. Every living person’s face showed the relief of surviving a calamity.

High-pitched cheers sounded from all directions, shocking the birds in the forest.

By the moat, Rong Jinping turned back into human form. The clothes on his upper body were completely torn, and he looked very wild, with bloody cuts on his back, chest, and abdomen of his half-naked body.

Zhao Qiyang also turned back into a human, baring his teeth and holding his chest out, not daring to let the fabric behind him touch the reopened wound on his back. Because of exhaustion, blood seeped from his sister Zhao Sihui’s pores. She couldn’t even touch them, which made her look extremely miserable.

The siblings looked at each other’s wretched appearance, and couldn’t help laughing out loud, both their faces also showing the relieved expressions of having survived through a calamity.

Yin Yiliu only snapped back from her daze when she heard the burst of cheers in the forest. She looked at the mess under her feet, the blood around her, and suddenly felt a little lost.

Jin Yang propped himself up from the pool of blood, hugged the little girl tightly in his arms, and wrapped his strong arms around her, not caring about the blood on her face at all. He buried his face in her hair and said in a trembling voice, “Don’t scare me like that next time.”

No one knew how violently his heart beat when he saw Yin Yiliu jump onto the body of the level five mutated animal. The feeling of panic was even stronger than what he had felt near-death just now.

The man’s low and hoarse voice was like a warm current, which instantly broke her strong pretense.

Yin Yiliu finally couldn’t help but purse her small lips, and the tears in her eyes gushed out. She sobbed quietly and wiped the blood and tears on her face with her small hand, but she couldn’t contain the anxiety in her heart, which was tightly wrapped around her entire body.

Her feet left the ground, and she was held in Jin Yang’s arms.

Jin Yang unbuttoned his jacket, enveloping the little girl in it, before striding forward.

Rong Jinping looked at Jin Yang, who was busy coaxing his ‘daughter’, and couldn’t help smiling. He didn’t expect this stinky man to have a soft spot. It was the first time he saw Jin Yang showing such a bewildered expression.

But this little girl…

When he thought about Yin Yiliu’s decisive and precise technique just now, Rong Jinping felt a chill run down his back.

This big and small duo was not to be messed with, especially the small one. He had originally thought this one was a strawberry-filled sandwich cookie, but now it seemed that that needed some re-evaluation.

He pulled the wound on his body when he moved and couldn’t help but inhale sharply. He slowly walked over to the corpse lying on the side.

Zuo Tai’s body had already become a little stiff and purplish. His face still showed the bewilderment and pain he felt during his last moment. The wound on his abdomen had already become rotten and stinky under the erosion of the mutated bacteria.

Rong Jinping grimaced as he bent down to carry the ‘man’ on his shoulder. A touch of pain appeared on the face of the middle-aged man with messy hair.

“Bro, let’s go.”

The middle-aged man hummed a folk song while holding his comrade on his shoulder and took him home.

With the arrival of the apocalypse, the environment was destined to become harsher, and the way of survival was plunged into hardship.

The mutated animals were eyeing the numerous but weak human beings, and human beings must rise up in resistance in order to survive.

Natural selection and survival of the fittest.

When all creatures were drawn to the same starting line by nature, the competition would become extraordinarily cruel, and the question of how different species should be distributed became an extremely difficult one.

That night, the celebration feast that was supposed to be held for the heroes in the base was depressing because of Zuo Tai’s death. For the sake of the leader of their base, the night was very quiet.

Firewood was burning fiercely at the back of the house where Jin Yang and the others were staying. Hot water was boiling in the pot, and in the bathroom, Yin Yiliu soaked herself in water.

The blood and dirt stains on her body had been completely removed. At this moment, she was hugging her knees in a daze, and her mind kept replaying the way the level five mutated beast looked at her during the day.

It may have regarded her as one of its kind and one that it wanted to recruit, but, unfortunately, it was standing on the opposing side to human beings, and it had even tried to kill Jin Yang.

So they were also on opposite sides.
