Clang clang――

In the distance, a bright red semi-truck was heading this way.

A gigantic beast.

By estimation, it was about thirteen meters long.

Fortunately, the ground where Bai Xiqin’s family grilled skewers was hard, not soft mud.

The truck’s wheels sank a little, but it could still barely drive over.

The key point wasn’t that a semi-truck was driving toward them in the post-apocalypse.

The key point was that through the windshield, the Bai Family saw a pair of lifeless fish eyes and snow-white fur.

Zhu Yan was driving the truck.

Those dead fish eyes looked down on everything.

Zhu Yan is a legendary Fierce Beast, so it’s expected there are some strange aspects to its species.

Just watching it drive felt a bit surreal.

Monkeys are naturally intelligent, especially chimpanzees, which have the intelligence of a six-year-old child.

Circuses even have monkeys riding bicycles.

This Zhu Yan, a mutated monkey, driving a semi-truck is still a bit exaggerated.

But the Bai Family saw it with their own eyes.

They had to believe, they had to be convinced.

The thirteen-meter-long red semi-truck stopped steadily in front of Bai Xiqin, the door opened, and Zhu Yan jumped down.

"You can drive a truck?"

Bai Yifan looked shocked.

A mutated monkey was better at driving than him, provoking envy and jealousy.

He couldn’t even drive a truck!

Zhu Yan looked at Bai Yifan with its proud dead fish eyes, its gaze slightly disdainful.

Is it hard?

It watched dumb humans drive, and learned after just one look.

It’s the boss of Azure Dragon Mountain, leading a bunch of fools, what can’t it do?

Bai Yifan: ...

Bai Yifan felt a bit belittled.

"Do you know how to refuel the truck?"

Bai Anhai looked at Zhu Yan, asking with interest.

According to evolution, humans evolved from monkeys.

Monkeys have high intelligence and imitation abilities, and Zhu Yan has mutated, its behavior and intelligence are almost like humans now.

Zhu Yan’s dead fish-like eyes shifted, showing a hint of confusion.

What is gasoline?

It didn’t know.

What it knew was, if the vehicle didn’t move, just switch to another one.

Anyway, it’s powerful, and no one can beat it, so it could just grab one from anywhere.

"This post-apocalypse really is surreal."

Bai Zhengxuan held a skewer, looked up at the sky, with an incredibly vivid expression on his face.

If someone had told him before the end of the world that monkeys could drive semis, he would definitely have thrown a feather duster at them.

Now, if someone told him monkeys could fly planes, he’d believe it too.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

Zhu Yan didn’t understand what the Bai Family meant by gasoline. Its fiery red paw pointed at the truck’s container, calling out to Bai Xiqin twice.

Obviously, it was asking Bai Xiqin to load the "reward" into the truck.

If they couldn’t carry it all, they’d just bring it back.

The mutated panda stood adorably and obediently next to Zhu Yan, its eyes unblinkingly watching the uneaten grilled bamboo shoots in Bai Anhai’s hand.

Drool gradually flooded out.

"Are you putting your shoots in too?"

Bai Xiqin looked at the mutated panda standing with Zhu Yan, suddenly understanding.

These two wouldn’t be teaming up, would they?

The mutated panda stared blankly at Bai Xiqin, which was considered consent.

It fully trusted Zhu Yan, and there was an unspeakable mutual understanding between the two beasts.

In this cold apocalypse, amidst a group of foolish underlings to be tended, only they understood each other.

"...Okay."

Bai Xiqin’s mouth twitched hard.

With a vivid expression, she came to the back of the truck.

Never thought she’d be loading goods for mutant animals one day.

It’s really... strange and curious.

Zhu Yan’s dead fish eyes shifted, quickly walking to the truck door position, skillfully opening the door for Bai Xiqin to load the things inside.

The movement was even more skilled than a veteran driver.

The Bai Family: ...

Humans pale in comparison series.

All this, Zhu Yan learned in just a few minutes.

It saw humans driving cars, saw humans unloading goods.

Hands similar to human ones could be imitated effortlessly.

Never underestimate a monkey’s ability to mimic.

Before the apocalypse erupted, before the baptism of energy tides, monkeys’ mimicking abilities were always among the top in the animal kingdom.

Some gorillas could even use tools to get bananas placed by their keepers.

Under the watchful eyes of the Mutated Panda and Zhu Yan, Bai Xiqin moved her fingers and quickly filled the thirteen-meter-long truck. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Boxes of bamboo shoots, bananas, and peaches were neatly stacked, and the scent of fruit instantly wafted under their noses.

"Bang!"

Zhu Yan’s claws decisively closed the car door.

Afraid that Bai Xiqin would take things back.

The Mutated Panda blinked adorably at the packed truck, then took a couple of steps towards Bai Anhai, who was holding a skewer.

Some of the ’bill’ was recovered, could it now eat skewers?

Why not take advantage of it, no fear of debt.

The Mutated Panda looked at Bai Anhai adorably, blinking its eyes...

Bai Anhai quietly turned around, ignoring the Mutated Panda.

Grilled bamboo shoots were really delicious.

The Mutated Panda’s eyes became increasingly resentful, its mouth following Bai Anhai’s chewing motion, opening and closing.

Zhu Yan’s deadpan fish eyes glanced at its brother, then at Bai Anhai.

Got it.

The brother wanted to eat!

To be honest, it was pitiful.

The boss of Azure Dragon Mountain and the boss of the zoo seemed like leaders, but in reality, they had to feed many fools, hardly tasted any good food, and everything fed the underlings.

The only time those fools were smart was—when an enemy came.

When enemies came and they couldn’t win, they sought the boss to step up.

No resilience at all.

No courage whatsoever.

In summary, being a boss had no advantage.

The Mutated Panda held back, just watching without eating.

Zhu Yan couldn’t hold back.

With a gust of wind, the skewer in Bai Anhai’s hand was gone.

When everyone realized, Zhu Yan had already put the grilled bamboo shoots into the Mutated Panda’s paws.

Crunch, crunch.

The Mutated Panda shoved it directly into its mouth without a word, eating the bamboo skewers along with it.

Delicious!

Bai Anhai: ...

"Ooh ooh~"

The Mutated Panda whimpered adorably at Zhu Yan, its expression rich, seemingly savoring the delicacy.

Zhu Yan’s deadpan eyes moved slightly, was it really that tasty?

The Mutated Panda grabbed a grilled bamboo shoot with its hefty paw and handed it to Zhu Yan, looking dumbfounded.

If it were someone else, it wouldn’t share.

For its brother, it could share.

After all, it would still help deliver the bamboo shoots to the zoo later.

Zhu Yan opened its mouth and took a bite.

The expression on its face instantly froze, swallowing without chewing, barely managing a difficult smile at the Mutated Panda.

This was the worst thing it had ever eaten.

"Do you eat grilled bananas?"

Bai Xiqin, looking at Zhu Yan’s deadpan eyes, suddenly found a bit of dark humor.

Wanting to cultivate them into animals with peculiar tastes.

"Chichi?"

Zhu Yan stood in front of the truck, looking a bit puzzled.

If it were Bai Xiqin’s own bananas, it liked to eat them.

If it meant ruining the bananas in the truck, it didn’t like that.

Bai Xiqin shook her head, not understanding Zhu Yan’s meaning, and simply took some bananas out from a space, placing them directly on the charcoal fire without peeling them.

After considering for a moment, Bai Xiqin also took out some bamboo shoots and placed them on the grill.

Within just two minutes, the aroma of bananas had already filled the air.

Zhu Yan’s deadpan fish eyes were gradually dumbfounded, staring straight at the bananas on the grill.

The Mutated Panda stood beside Zhu Yan, eyes shimmering.

In this instant, the two beasts decided, they were definitely going to exploit this sucker.

If the sucker got bullied in the future, the brothers would not hesitate to step in.

If the sucker told them to go east, they’d go east, and if west, they’d go west.

Even if the sucker were to die, they would avenge her.

That’s just how solid this bond was!
