The Tianfu Garden, where the Tiger Forest District is located, is now under Level 3 combat readiness.
After decades of fighting, monster sieges have long become a daily occurrence.
The old men and women still practice ancient martial arts casually in the small square.
Children wave polished monster bones, circling around their grandparents, playing the game of Earthlings fighting little monsters.
There are also a few middle school students who are let out of school early, idly chatting and arguing about the topic of "whether Dragon City should concentrate all its resources to develop time-travel technology and return to Earth."
"Brother!"
Meng Chao bypassed the small square when someone suddenly called him.
Looking back, a little girl in a middle school uniform was dragging a very large and heavy iron bucket, like a hardworking ant dragging food several times its size.
The little girl was very cute, like a flower bud waiting to bloom.
Her eyebrows and eyes were curved, revealing a hint of playfulness.
The school uniform was a size too big, which made her look even more petite and exquisite.
She hopped and waved her hand: "Come and help, I'm exhausted!"
"Oh."
Meng Chao was a little dazed as he walked towards his sister, Bai Jiacao.
Looking at her pretty little face that hadn't fully developed yet, his brain throbbed again.
It was as if a red-hot steel needle was piercing in from his temples, stimulating the deepest part of his brain, releasing crystal clear fragments of memory.
Her dark and beautiful long hair turned into blazing purple hair, her gem-like black eyes shone with bewitching light, a pair of wide wings covered with bloodshot veins on her back, as if a demon from the blood prison abyss had descended, the corners of her mouth outlined a mysterious and evil smile, the heavily colored beauty was enough to scare half of the creatures in another world to heart failure.
This is the Black Night Witch.
Wherever she goes, she will bring endless darkness and eternal night.
"Brother? Hehe..."
Meng Chao seemed to see his sister, who had become the Black Night Witch a long time later, stepping on him and sneering mysteriously.
Meng Chao: "Meow meow meow?"
I didn't expect you to be this kind of sister!
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Bai Jiacao waved her little hand in front of her brother's eyes, strangely, "You look like a mouse seeing a cat."
"No, it's nothing, what is this, so heavy."
"Hey, it's all because of Dad. He heard that the army had taken down another Ironclad Rhinoceros's lair, and he rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up. He really bought a big bucket of beef, saying it was much cheaper than the market, but it's too heavy!" The little girl pouted.
"Where's Dad? Why did he let you carry it?"
"Dad is still queuing up for the second round at the supply and marketing cooperative, wanting to see if there is any beef bone marrow. I dragged all this way back, hehe, am I amazing?"
The little girl put her hands on her hips, puffed out her small chest, and her eyes were full of proud light.
"Let go, I'll carry it."
"Let's carry it together. You've been injured, and Mom and Dad told me not to let you do heavy work."
"What's so heavy about this? Let go, be careful of hitting your feet, help me carry my schoolbag."
Meng Chao bent down, his shoulders sinking, and carried the entire bucket of Ironclad Rhinoceros meat.
Bai Jiacao breathed a sigh of relief, kneading her sore little arms and legs.
She was also a little nervous, carefully observing her brother's steps and posture, for fear that he would be injured again.
Meng Chao's eyes twitched.
Being cared for by the future Black Night Witch who would wreak havoc on the entire Other World, he was a little flattered.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped.
"Ouch!"
Bai Jiacao couldn't stop her feet and bumped into her brother's back, rubbing her nose and exclaiming in dissatisfaction.
Meng Chao turned around, his eyes strange.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Bai Jiacao felt a chill in her heart.
"Just asking something, do you have any dissatisfaction with me?"
"How could I? Brother, what dissatisfaction could I have?" Nonsense, of course I'm dissatisfied, you bad brother!
"Am I usually not good to you, often bullying you?"
"No way, brother is the best to me, never bullies me." Of course you're not good, you bully me every day, you're a big devil, it's a wonder you have the nerve to ask such a question!
"If, I mean if, one day you gain power, will you step on me?"
"Oh my god, dear brother, what on earth are you thinking? How could I step on you, so brutal?" Hehe, you guessed it right, if this young lady gains power, the first thing I'll do is step on you, this bad brother, step on you hard, step, step, step, oh hehehehe!
Bai Jiacao tried her best to control her facial expressions.
But at the thought of turning over to become the master and stepping on the head of the bully big brother to show off, the little girl really... couldn't control it!
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly stretched out his demonic claws, covered his sister's head, and rubbed hard, rub, rub, rub.
"Brother, did I provoke you? You're bullying me again!"
Bai Jiacao was both angry and anxious, her little face flushed red.
"Does a brother need a reason to bully his sister?"
Meng Chao felt great, thinking to himself, who told you to step on me hard after you became the Black Night Witch?
While I can still beat you, let me enjoy it first.
Speaking of which, now that he has returned from the nightmare, he will never allow any misfortune to befall his family again.
"Little sister, I won't let you become a dreaded Black Night Witch. You should be the happiest, prettiest, and most loved little princess in the entire city, no, the entire Other World!"
Meng Chao thought, ruffling the little princess's hair even more.
Unit 3, Building 19, Tianfu Garden.
Due to power shortages and monster invasions, few buildings in this era were equipped with elevators.
Adults were used to scaling walls like geckos, going straight home through the windows.
Teenagers didn't find it too strenuous to walk the stairs.
Meng Chao and Bai Jiacao, one in front and one behind, carried the Ironclad Rhinoceros meat to the door of 704.
On the paint-peeling alloy door, a "Five-Good Family" plaque was nailed.
Below the plaque, sixty-five deformed, long-horned skulls were spray-painted, each skull marked with a red cross.
Representing that this family had killed sixty-five monsters.
The familiar yet strange scene made Meng Chao's nose tingle.
He grew up in an ordinary family.
Seventeen years ago, after a monster siege, veteran Meng Yishan heard a baby crying in the ruins.
Meng Yishan, brave in saving people, not only rescued the baby but also rescued a young girl with bloody, mangled legs deep in the ruins.
The girl was seriously injured. Meng Yishan took good care of her, and the two happily married.
That baby was their matchmaker. It was said that the little one lost his parents in the monster siege, so they adopted him.
This was Meng Chao.
Although there was no blood relation, his adoptive parents treated Meng Chao as if he were their own.
Even after their love child, Bai Jiacao, was born, nothing changed.
In the nightmare, the family of four lived a plain and happy life for twenty years, which came to an abrupt end in the chaos.
Returning from the nightmare, Meng Chao decided to protect everything, forever.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Although he had the key in his pocket, Meng Chao couldn't help but shout.
The small but tidy room was as stuffy as a steamer.
In the open kitchen, which was squeezed together with the small living room, Bai Suxin, with her impaired legs, was sweating profusely in front of the stove.
Seeing her children return home, the woman was filled with joy, and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out.
"You two have really sharp noses, coming back right on time."
Bai Suxin brought over a plate of golden food, "Hurry and eat the spring rolls while they're hot. They're filled with Nine-Eyed Fish Meat, a newly mutated species. No one's seen it before, and they're not too keen on eating it, so the price is very cheap. I bought a lot. If they're good, I'll make more in the future."
"Mom!"
Meng Chao took a deep breath, trembling as he took the spring roll fried by his mother's own hands, and carefully took a bite.
So fragrant.
The meat is sweet.
It was as if he hadn't tasted sweetness in many years.
"This child, why is he crying while eating a spring roll?"
Bai Suxin looked at Meng Chao, then at Bai Jiacao.
Bai Jiacao made a small face and tapped her temple, signaling to her mother, "Brother's brain is broken today!"
"Mom, Xiaocao, you go inside and rest for a while, I'll cook dinner." With a thought, fragments of memories flashed through Meng Chao's mind, and he was eager to try.
"You can cook?"
Bai Suxin was both surprised and touched, waving her hand and saying, "Rest, you two are tired from school, I'll just stir-fry some pig liver. Keep an ear out for the door, your dad just called and said he bought beef bone marrow back."
"It's okay, I'm tired from studying, cooking a few dishes will help me clear my head."
Meng Chao didn't allow any argument, untying Bai Suxin's apron and tying it on himself, then picking up the kitchen knife and twirling it, his movements looking quite practiced.
"Our Chao'er has really grown up." Bai Suxin said with a smile.
"Brother, can you do it? The Sword Halberd Demon Pig's liver is very difficult to handle, and if you're not careful, it'll be fishy and smelly." Bai Jiacao didn't believe it.
Usually, her clumsy brother could only cook instant noodles and dumplings at most, and frying an egg was his limit.
Making Sword Halberd Demon Pig's liver delicious requires very complicated procedures, and even ordinary housewives can't easily cook it well.
"Let me do it, clumsy brother, move aside."
The little girl walked over very habitually.
Usually, when her mother's legs and feet ached, she would cook.
Unexpectedly, before she could take the kitchen knife from Meng Chao's hand.
The kitchen knife had already transformed into a stream of silver light.
