mother of beasts

After walking for a long time, Li Jialu's skin outside the clothes was tanned by the scorching sun, and even his lips were dry and peeling.

Due to the lack of water, his whole head was a little dizzy, and his body was limping and walking in the yellow ruins. Li Jia always felt that he might fall to the ground at any time.

Why haven't you walked out of here... Li Jia's eyes are a little blurry. The long walk has already made his already exhausted body reach the limit, but the same scene of walking around in front of him really makes him flustered.

"Bada!" With a stagger, Li Jia's left foot stepped on his right foot, and the whole person fell to the ground like that, unable to get up again.

I'm afraid I'm really going to die this time...Looking at the increasingly blurred scene in front of me, Li Jia thought dizzily.

It feels very refreshing, little by little, um, more...

It was as if something had been poured into his mouth. It was a little cold, but it made him feel extremely comfortable. He opened his mouth, licking the thing with his tongue unconsciously, and moistened his dry throat with the liquid that flowed into his mouth.

The Adam's apple protruding from the slender neck rolled up and down. Li Jia closed his eyes and unconsciously drank water, which seemed to have an invisible sense of temptation.

At least in the eyes of the little strange beast, that's how it is.

Pushing down the water bottle with a small half of water left with its head, the little beast pushed the thing back with one foot, and itched to see Li Jia's lips that were a little rosy because he had just drank water.

It doesn't know why it must follow the person who gave birth to itself, but there is an idea in its heart telling it to guard this 'mother'.

Alien beasts do not have the complex brains of human beings. Their thoughts are very simple, and they act entirely based on subjective consciousness. The genes of the Oedipus determine the future partner of this little thing, and also dominate the destination of its soul.

The black paws were hidden in the thick pads. It knew that its claws would cause harm to other creatures, so it didn't dare to reach out to its mother casually.

Sticking out its tongue and licking Li Jia's sun-red face, the little beast shook its short meaty tail, and then suddenly ran back in the direction it came from.

Li Jia vaguely felt as if something was approaching and walking away around him, but his eyelids were so heavy that he was semi-conscious, and he couldn't open his eyes.

After a while, a round ball rolled up not far away. When I got closer, I realized that it was not a ball at all, but a piece of wrapped clothes.

White with some special stripes.

Those were the clothes worn by a weathered middle-aged man.

Suddenly, the balls of clothes scattered away, and a small dirty-looking thing emerged from the edge of the clothes. He bit the clothes with his mouth and dragged them to the side of Li Jia who was still sleeping.

Then, biting one end of his clothes, he jumped over his chest.

The white clothes were lifted up and covered Li Jia's body, shielding him from the annoying sunlight.

The little thing took a look, and then got into the hem of the clothes. In the next second, Li Jia, who was covered by the white clothes, had a bag on his chest. If you look carefully, the bag will rise and fall with the frequency of breathing.

With such a meat ball pressed on his stomach, and the water he had just used, Li Jia's brain began to slow down after a short rest.

This……

Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly realized that he was covered with a white dress. The clothes looked very familiar, and they were exactly the same as what he was wearing. This is...

Institute clothes!

Panic flashed across Li Jia's face. He was just about to get up and run away, when he suddenly found that his stomach was bulging again!

what happened!

His face turned pale in an instant, Li Jia's hands trembled a little, and he gently touched the bulge under the white clothes with his hand.

"Well……"

A soft sob came, and the sound seemed familiar.

Li Jia was taken aback, and lifted the clothes, and the little strange beast's messy body was revealed in front of Li Jia.

Feeling that the thing that blocked the sun was gone, the little thing twitched his ears a little bit, then slowly raised his head, and met Li Jia's surprised eyes.

"..." He didn't yell that maddening sentence again, the little thing just looked at Li Jia with a somewhat timid gaze, and seeing that he didn't look like he was going to get angry, he slowly and tentatively moved his body Leaned in front of him.

"..." Not knowing how to react at all, Li Jia felt a little at a loss when he saw the creature that was supposed to be far away from him reappear in front of him.

The little beast also seemed to know that he didn't like his mother very much, and after a while, he obediently climbed down from Li Jia's body, then looked around, and suddenly twisted his body and carefully kicked the water bottle that he had squeezed away with his forelegs. He came over, and then stopped in front of Li Jia with his paws.

"Hmm—" it called out, its voice sounded weak, but its eyes were wide open when it raised its head to look at Li Jia.

Seeing such red eyes made his scalp feel a little numb, Li Jia stretched out his hand and took the thing, only to find that it was a portable water bottle.

The refreshing feeling I felt in the dream just now was...

He looked up at the little thing, and the little thing didn't care about his visiting eyes at all, and still looked at him with his eyes open.

A strange feeling flashed in his heart, he didn't say anything, he raised his head and pressed the button on the top of the water bottle, a small stream of water flowed out of the bottle and flowed into his mouth.

This is artificially made inorganic water, he swallowed the small stream of water in his mouth, he thought in his heart, and then he was puzzled.

Where did this dress, this bottle of water come from?

Looking at the little strange beast, the little thing just blinked his eyes, not understanding what he meant at all.

Sighing, he suddenly felt that there was nothing he could do with this thing.

If this little thing hadn't come over, would he have just died in the ruins, like countless civilians in the last days, dead without a place to bury him.

The little strange beast was very obedient. Seeing Li Jia look up with a blank face, he didn't dare to disturb him. He nestled beside him obediently like a kitten, looking at his mother motionless.

Li Jia didn't say anything, just sat on the ground, holding a water bottle with only one or two mouthfuls left in his hand, a strange creature lying prone beside him, and a piece of clothing beside him.

The quiet air flowed between the two of them, which was extremely harmonious.

Suddenly, Li Jia got up and looked into the distance with unclear eyes.

The little thing quickly stood up, raised his head and looked into the distance, not knowing what he saw.

As if he had made up his mind, Li Jia quickly took off his dilapidated clothes in the ruins under the scorching sun, with only him and a small animal cub, and then changed into the clean white clothes.

The middle-aged man's clothes were still too big. After the young Li Jia put them on, his whole body was a little loose. It looked like a son who had stolen his father's clothes.

However, in this post-apocalyptic world, when resources are extremely limited, it is not very eye-catching for a son to wear his father's clothes.

The little beast opened its eyes and silently looked up at him as he quickly changed his clothes, then threw the blood-stained and dilapidated old clothes on the ground, and carefully lowered his head to sniff the old clothes.

From the corner of his eye, Li Jia saw the little thing's movement, and the corner of his mouth turned up in an arc that he didn't even know about.

Suddenly, he lowered his body, and lifted the little thing's head with his thin but slender fingers: "Hey, little thing, how about you follow me before I get home?"

The little strange beast blinked, but there was no reaction. Li Jia just asked the question out of nowhere, and was ready to stand up immediately after recovering.

He must have been fooled by the sun, to say such things to a strange beast cub.

But when he was about to get up, he was held down by a short animal limb.

He lowered his head, looked at the little thing, carefully held down his hand with one forelimb, and then put the other forelimb on his hand with some ridiculous movements, and then looked up at himself.

Is this... a promise to myself?

Surprised in his heart, Li Jia lowered his head and looked at the little thing with its head up for two seconds, then stretched out his other hand to hold it and hold down his two fleshy claws: "Little thing, you have to think clearly, If you follow me, you will have no meat to eat, and you may be chased and killed at any time."

The little strange animal tilted its head, its red eyes looked up at Li Jia without blinking, and moved its feet carefully to stabilize its swaying fat body.

It seems to be a bit difficult for it to support the ground with only two hind legs.

Li Jia suddenly smiled faintly: "Alright, even if he really died, wouldn't you still be buried with him? It's not too lonely to die."

A hand on the top passed under the little thing, and picked up the dirty little beast that was the size of a ball. Li Jia tried to straighten up, and then touched his bare head, which had not grown a few hairs: " Hey, I'll call you little monster from now on."

The little thing didn't make a sound, but it was very excited when it was suddenly held in Li Jia's arms, its short tail wagged and wagged, its fat and short limbs were so excited that it didn't know where to put it, only those big red eyes blinked and looked at it. looking at his mother.

"Hmm..." The little thing couldn't help but yelled.

Li Jia's hand holding it froze suddenly, and he clearly heard the four words 'mother' that made him want to close his ears.
