Chapter 222 Before the Great War Comes

  Wu Ying gently took Zhou Bai's claws off her sleeve.

   "Little black cat, I didn't go out to play.

   When I go out to pick herbs tomorrow, I will take you out again. "

   Zhou Bai felt that Wu Ying had obviously misunderstood what he meant.

  So he could only stretch out his sharp claws, swish twice in the air, and show an attacking posture.

  Wu Ying laughed when she saw it.

   "You mean, you can fight too?"

   Zhou Bai quickly nodded his head.

   "Forget it, let's take you with me.

   But you can't run around, you know? "

  After she finished speaking, she took out a small backpack,

  Then picked up the kitten and put it in the back basket, then took a piece of cloth and covered it on top of the back basket.

   Then, in the closet, he took out a set of small protective clothing, put it on, and walked out of the room with a basket on his back.

   Zhou Bai lay in the basket, and went out of the room with Wu Ying.

   Along the way, Zhou Bai saw many people wearing protective clothing coming out of his room one after another through the gap in the back basket.

  Those protective clothing are white and transparent.

  Although the clothes cover them tightly, they can still distinguish their appearances.

   Zhou Bai saw that there were men, women and children in the crowd.

   They all held a weapon in their hands and walked downstairs.

   Zhou Bai looked at the expressions on their faces, and his heart also became heavy.

  The crowd stopped when they reached the first floor.

  Wu Ying also stopped, with a small body, standing at the end of the crowd.

  Zhou Bai was in the basket, and his sight angle was limited, so he secretly lifted a corner of the cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes, quietly observing the surrounding terrain.

   At this moment, a man wearing a black cloak outside the protective clothing came down the stone steps behind Wu Ying.

  Because of his attire, it is a bit different.

  So Zhou Bai's eyes, subconsciously, looked at him.

  However, the hat of the black cloak and the black mask he wore covered most of his face.

  When Zhou Bai looked at him, he only saw a pair of eyes.

  And his eyes happened to be looking at Zhou Bai.

   Zhou Bai met his gaze, and the alarm sounded in his mind immediately.

  The eyes are a bit cloudy.

  And Zhou Bai felt a little familiar with this look.

  Where have I seen these eyes?

  As soon as this idea came up, he felt Wu Ying turn around.

   Then he yelled sweetly to the man wearing the black cloak, "Second Brother".

  Thus, Zhou Bai finally knew the source of this sense of familiarity.

   This is the second elder brother who was sick, with bluish skin, and who had met Zhou Bai's eyes through the crack of the door.

  The second elder brother, when he heard Wu Ying call him, put his hand to his mouth, and then coughed violently.

   Then, Zhou Bai saw the second aunt who was wearing heavy makeup and walked over anxiously.

   "Wu Chi, my poor child.

   This old patriarch is really true, my son is so seriously ill, and he must come to defend against foreign enemies.

  Family rules are dead, but people are alive.

  Can't we work around it? "

  Zhou Bai covered the cloth and lay down in the basket again.

  Hearing what the second aunt said, I really wanted to say something to her.

"cannot."

   But now he needs to play an ordinary kitten.

  So I can only endure my urge to hate others.

  The second aunt pulled Wu Chi with concern, wanting him to stand aside and rest.

   And at this time, at the forefront of the crowd, an old voice rang out.

   "The first and second combat teams obey orders, take your weapons!

   Never let those monsters step into our old house! "

   Then, Zhou Bai heard many people shouting in unison.

   "Swear to protect Wu's ancestral house!"

  Although the number of these combat teams is not large, they shouted the momentum of thousands of troops.

   Zhou Bai looked at them through the gap in the basket.

  I saw that they were all holding a long gun, and they were walking in neat steps towards the door of the old house.

   Immediately afterwards, the old voice continued.

   "The third combat team is ordered to take your weapons.

   Shoot as many monsters as possible. "

   Then, another team shouted in unison.

   "Do your best to protect Wu's old house."

   Zhou Bai saw this group of people with bows and arrows in their hands.

   After shouting, they all climbed up to the high place.

  Stand ready to meet the enemy's attack at any time.

  Finally, the old voice spoke to a team leader with a strong figure and a long knife on his waist.

   "Wu Hu, the fourth team you lead, and all the clansmen present, are our last line of defense against the enemy.

  You have to know, if you can't hold this place anymore, then our Wu family will be completely finished. "

  Wu Hu clenched his long knife tightly, and nodded emphatically at the old man.

   Zhou Bai leaned closer to the basket, and through the gaps in the crowd, he could barely see the man who was about to feed himself moldy dried fish.

   It turned out that he was the captain of the fourth team, and his name was Wu Hu.

  Zhou Bai focused on the movement outside.

  Suddenly, the sight in front of him was blocked by a black cloth.

   Then, the black cloth was still slowly moving down.

   Then a pair of very huge eyes in Zhou Bai's eyes, moved closer to the basket, and looked at the little black cat inside which was peeking.

  Suddenly, the hairs all over Zhou Bai's body stood on end.

  Then reflexively stretched out its claws, about to scratch towards those eyes.

   But at this time, Wu Ying turned around, and she led the kitten behind her out of position.

  So, the man in the black cloak narrowly escaped unharmed.

   "Second brother, you are not in good health, so don't move around.

   Find a place to rest. "

  Wu Ying is very concerned about her second brother.

  But the second brother's mother, Wu Ying's second aunt, didn't seem to buy it.

   "You don't randomly pick some herbs and throw them into your second brother's room, he will get better faster."

  Wu Ying lowered her head sadly when she heard the second aunt's accusation.

   "I just... I just want to help my second brother heal."

  The second aunt was still talking to Wu Ying.

  But the second brother didn't seem to want to have much contact with his mother.

   Seeing her approaching, he lowered his head and walked directly to another place.

   Then the second aunt's face showed a hurt expression.

  Seeing that no one was paying attention to him at this time, Zhou Bai sneaked out of the basket.

   Then in twos and threes, he jumped onto the wall.

   Then, he saw that the front of the old house was surrounded by a circle of wooden barriers that looked like horse repelling.

  The members of the first and second combat teams stood neatly in a row behind the obstacle, holding long guns.

   Zhou Bai stood on the wall, looking into the distance.

  I saw a dark figure in the distance, approaching where they were.
