...... doesn't know when it crawled into bed.

Xiaochi Chi uncovered the blanket and found the little leopard sleeping in a very elegant position, lying on its back like a human being, turning out the fine soft fur on its belly, with its two paws on its ears and its small flesh-colored nose shrugging.

Xiaochi Chi pokes his hand on his little paw pad and gives it a little poke.

He moved, stretched out his paws to hug Xiaochi Chi's index finger, rolled over, lay on his side and took his fingertip, sucking on it, biting it with his protruding teeth, as if pampering, and as if kissing.

Xiaochi Chi knew that he probably thought of himself as his mother.

In order to take care of the dog, Xiaochi Chi followed Lou Ying to the pet store, but all he learned was how to take care of cats and dogs, so much so that when he saw this large feline, Xiaochi Chi's first reaction was still to give it a packet of cat food.

Xiaochi Chi went to tease him, "Do you really want to come with me? There's no meat to eat if you come with me."

The baby leopard woke up, its watery gray-blue eyes narrowed slightly, and instinctively burrowed into Xiaochi Chi's arms.

Xiaochi Chi was softened, thinking, "He is so small, where can he go? I don't know if it will be spoon-fed as soon as it leaves the house.

Xiaochi Chi gave it an ultimatum: "Let's talk first, if you dare to eat me, I dare to eat you."

The little leopard lying on his forehead, seems to be very satisfied with this new resting place, huffing and puffing to sleep.

Xiaochi Chi asked, "Teacher Six, can it understand what I say."

"It's just an ordinary leopard." 061 said, "Since it doesn't have cancer cells, it won't evolve intelligence either."

Xiaochi Chi flipped through Qiuyun Ding's memories and couldn't help but think that it was better to not have intelligence.

All things are spiritual and natural.

All things have human intelligence, but at the same time have millions of years of evolution from the nature of the beast and hunting skills, is truly terrifying.

It's half an hour to 3:00.

During this time, Xiaochi Chi finished downloading all the instant maps in China.

This disaster is different from earthquakes, mudslides and other geological disasters, and the terrain will not change drastically. With a map in hand, you can also take fewer detours when looking for supplies.

061 asked him, " What are you going to do about Xinzhi Gu?"

"What can I do." Xiaochi Chi slowed down, "Dealing with this kind of person, he won't even think he's at fault until I die once myself first."

He moved over and said in a half-joking tone, "Just how badly does your main god want me to die?"

When he moved, the little leopard sleeping on his back had a tendency to wake up again, taking small paws and gently picking his nose.

Xiaochi Chi holds the communicator in one hand and gently runs his fingertips from top to bottom on its soft fleshy belly.

The little leopard gradually quieted down.

061 laughs: "You're so good to it."

Xiaochi Chi calmly stroked the little one. He said boldly, "Of course, this is my reserve food."

061: "......"

The little titty panther: "......"

The reserve food listens and wants to bite.

061 was about to ask what he was going to do with Xinzhi Gu when the time came.

...... tick.

The air conditioning fan sent out the last burst of warm air, as if giving a low sigh, and then stopped running.

The era of the old mankind ended in this sigh.

Xiaochi Chi held the baby panther with one hand, rolled over and sat up from the bed, hid it in the still-warm nest, grabbed a flashlight and ran straight to Ding's parents' room in the dark.

The temperature regulation system is turned off, the temperature can be adjusted to lock the temperature of the smart glass turned back to ordinary glass, the heat accumulated in the room was quickly swallowed by the beast-like cold air, just a short distance from the bed to knock on the door of the parents' room, the room temperature will be visible to the naked eye dropped a few degrees.

When I gripped the handle of my parents' door, a coldness ran up from my fingertips, causing Xiaochi Chi's eyelids to flutter.

Ding's father and mother are still awake.

Quilts can really give the illusion of warmth and security.

Xiaochi Chi nudged the man awake: "Dad, the temperature system is off."

Ding's father, still a bit confused, climbed up: "It's okay, wait at home, it should recover in a while."

Xiaochi Chi said gently, "It should be a city-wide blackout, all the electricity in the house is out. In case the whole night can not be restored, our grandparents can carry it, but Sister Ding may not be able to suffer."

Ding's father thought about it and thought it was reasonable, so he called Ding's mother up and planned to go to the car to squint for the night, while Xiaochi Chi fetched two pieces of cold-weather clothing and played with a flashlight to make it easier for his parents to put their clothes on.

Ding's father was a little surprised when he got the cold-proof clothes and asked Xiaochi Chi where they came from.

Xiaochi Chi replied that he had come home today because the weather was too cold and he wanted to give the old couple a set of cold-weather clothes just in case.

Ding's father trusted his son and asked a question and then stopped.

On the side, Ding's mother smiled and said, "The child is big and has filial piety."

Xiaochi Chi smiles, and when she leaves the room, she busies herself with packing her parents' toiletries, the mugs she is used to using, and the double-sided embroidery she is nearing completion into her bag.

After all this, he raised his wrist to look at his newly purchased multifunction watch.

3:10.

At this point in time, there should have been many people waking up frozen in their sleep, but reluctant to leave home, shivering and waiting for the heating system to be restored, until the quilt is also frozen through, knotted into a bed of cold and heavy shroud.

After confirming that Ding's parents had finished packing, Xiaochi Chi put on his backpack, took a few steps back to the bedroom, took out the baby leopard, which had earned an extra 20 minutes of sleep, pulled open the collar, and tucked it in.

Before leaving, Ding's mother also wanted to drink a mouthful of water, who wanted to unscrew the faucet, found that the entire water pipe frozen, dripping out of a few drops of water is also cold and smelly, full of rusty smell, can not help but cover their noses in amazement: "What is this?"

Ding's father's brain is still clear, found that the situation does not seem to be quite right, and do not die here to pursue the root, holding his wife's shoulders and said, "Let's go, go to the car."

After pushing open the door, the corridor between the silence like dead, there are three or four families like the Ding family, simply packed up things, intended to go to the car for the night.

The elevator naturally stopped, so everyone took the stairs.

Since the rise of artificial intelligence, the human touch has become much more indifferent, people are used to chatting through the display screen, but not good at face-to-face communication with live people.

When we meet, we nod to each other in silence, even if we have said hello.

Only Ding's mother spoke up and asked, "Mr. He, has the water stopped at your house too?"

Mr. He gave a "hmm", holding the communicator in one hand, acting as an illumination tool, and hugged the drowsy child in his arms upwards, with the same guarded movement and expression.

The little girl, about seven or eight years old, smothered her face in Mr. He's arms and said in a jarring voice, "Daddy, you're so cold."

He said, "Daddy is not cold, you are well, sleep again, ah."

The little girl said, "You're cold. I'll warm you up."

With that, her tender little hand reached out from the small blanket and protected Mr. He's face.

Mr. He had a jolt and hurriedly grabbed the child's wrist and tucked it properly back into the small blanket, sweeping the neighbors around him slightly nervously out of the corner of his eye.

By the light of the flashlight, Xiaochi Chi saw something and his eyes narrowed slightly.

061 also found out that something was wrong: "...... Chi Xiao ."

Xiaochi Chi : "Shhh."

The child was wrapped in only a single small blanket, not as if to keep warm, but more like to cover up.

And on the girl's outstretched wrist, there are one or two patches of light green corpse spots.

...... This is an old human father, and a new human daughter.

Of course, at this point in time, the so-called "new human beings" are monsters, aliens, dead bodies crawling out of the mud, and filth that should not exist in the world.

Recently, the authorities are following the list of cancer patients' deaths provided by the hospitals, investigating from house to house who have resurrected people, and if there are active reporters, certain bonuses can be issued.

This is the reason why the father hid and did not want to show his daughter to the public.

But he was completely overthinking.

It's someone else's business, and Xiaochi Chi has no intention of taking care of it.

The family went down to the parking lot on the negative second floor.

The parking lot, which used to be stiflingly hot, was as cold as a stale ice cellar.

A number of people have already noticed that something is wrong and have taken refuge in their cars with their families. In order to save gasoline and turn on the air conditioning for a while longer, all the cars turned off their lights, leaving only a restless face hidden inside the window glass, gazing openly at the cold, darkness outside.

Without the shelter of artificial intelligence, the pampered humans are vulnerable and unbeatable.

The parking lot echoed with the roar of car engines, yet the heat emitted was soon swallowed up by the snake-like darkness.

It's like a large mortuary, with each car being a living coffin.

Ding's father went to start the car, pressed the self-start button for a long time also did not work, can only use the car key is not very skilled to open the door.

The long-awaited warm breeze arrived, calling Ding's father and mother were relieved.

But Xiaochi Chi didn't relax.

To be precise, it was the instinct in him that belonged to Qiuyun Ding that was at work.

Qiuyun Ding has been living in the post-apocalyptic wasteland for many years and has developed extremely sensitive and strong nerves. Nowadays, although his body still cannot adapt to the first change in temperature, his perception of danger still far exceeds that of old humans and is even more experienced than some new humans.

After sitting in the passenger seat, he pressed his ear to the window glass that had misted up, and heard another extraordinarily odd rustling sound outside of the flow of blood in his ear, as if it was some kind of reptile's scale armor rubbing on the ground.

Xiaochi Chi's face tightened: "Old Ding Tau, go."

The warm breeze covered the face, blowing people drowsy, Ding father just intend to rest, listen to his son's tone is different, while surprised while holding the steering wheel: "Where to go?"

Xiaochi Chi : "Go--"

Suddenly, someone slammed a palm against the window glass on Xiaochi Chi's side.

Xiaochi Chi's ears went numb, withdrew his body and reached out to wipe away the warm air and water spray on the glass.

The outside was empty, but something like a child's hand sweat marks emerged vaguely outside the glass.

A child's voice whispered, "Uncle, save me."

Sitting in the back seat of Ding's mother also heard the sound, subconsciously going to pull the door.

Xiaochi Chi quick eyes, first manually press the button, the car door fully locked, then turn back to the head, frowning at Ding's mother shook his head.

Ding some a little puzzled: " Yun Qiu , there are children outside."

Xiaochi Chi made a gesture of silence and pointed to the handprint for Ding's mother to look at.

...... people's sweaty hands, would it be possible to be green.

The baby panther in his arms jumped to his knees, shrugged his back, assumed a guarded position, and let out a childish low growl in his throat.

This is when it makes Xiaochi Chi feel like a real leopard.

When knocking on the window didn't work, something outside started pulling on the car door.

Snap, snap, snap.

The sound of pulling on the door became more and more urgent, rough and brutal, the wind and rain, but the child's voice was still sweet and helpless, with a heart-pounding innocence: "Open the door, uncle."

"Here I am."

"Open the door, open the door, open the door."

Ding's father and mother are not slow to realize that things are not good at this time.

When the couple was looking at each other, parked in a car directly opposite the Ding family vehicles exploded with a miserable human scream, the vehicle began to shake from side to side, like someone struggling to roll in it.

Ding's father immediately turned on the high beam, a glance at the past, almost a heart attack.

Opposite the front windshield has been splattered with blood, the man originally sitting in the car has fallen askew, his chest was drilled out of a large bloody hole, two spikes of bright green creeper emerged from the eyes.

...... Yes, creeper.

Property in order to beautify the community environment, deliberately opened up a few climbing wall in the area.

And this pale greenery, like many other plants, became a murderous weapon when the end times came.

With an intelligent creeper, the first time it decided that the most ideal fertilizer for it is human.

Thus, humans became their flower pots.

The branches burrowed through the human body, rampaging through the carcass, extremely entertained by drawing flesh and blood from the human body, gulping it down.

His young wife opened the car door and fled screaming for the stairs, however, before she could escape a few steps, she was yanked to the ground by a strange force.

The creeper vine wrapped around her ankle and pulled her under a nearby car.

The woman's high heels kicked and stroked the car high and low, accompanied by screams of horror and pain, while the owner of the vehicle cowered in the car, clutching the steering wheel and gritting her teeth, afraid to move.

Soon, there was no sound under the car.

The creeper vine crawled contentedly to the next car.

It raised its branches and leaves shakily to simulate the shape of a small child's hand, slapped the glass of the next car, and let out a childish voice: "Uncle, open the door."
