Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 356 War, But Sparrow
“Speaking of Jiyun District, I suddenly remembered that my noisy wife has been coming to your place every day lately, and my white power has been accumulating quite quickly.” Zheng Fan said, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yilin blurted out, "So you're finally going to go find the sparrows you've been longing for?"

"You guessed right. I have to go now, immediately. If I delay any longer, some unexpected event might occur that will make me use up the power I just accumulated." Zheng Fan straightened up, revealing a resolute look in his eyes.

"You can use my body." As long as you activate the second stage, you can easily catch all those little sparrows and treat them as toys in your palm. Why are you so conflicted?
"What? Little Binary, do you think I'm a spineless coward who can't accept defeat and needs outside help?" Zheng clicked his tongue in disbelief.

"Uh..." I just hope you won't show this resentful and pathetic side.

Lin Yilin wanted to say something, but Zheng Fan had already transformed into a black sparrow and flew away.

In the end, all I could do was sigh and take a sip of coffee.

……

Black sparrows streaked across the sky above Xixi Keke Street like missiles. Even if Zheng Fan were a real person, let alone an illusion, it would be difficult to detect him moving at such speed.

Upon entering Jiyun City, a familiar sense of confinement washed over me; after the earthquake's impact subsided, the white world immediately returned to its former state.

However, it is precisely because of this that the severely damaged white districts cannot be rebuilt as quickly as the gray districts.

Having been rebuilt using only ordinary mechanical engineering equipment, it was difficult for them to say which side was more developed at that time.

The only thing that stands out is the security capabilities of the White City area, which is truly undeniable.

Looking at the large pit in the distance, which is still being repaired by the construction team working overtime, that was the spot where residents emerged during the earthquake. The surrounding houses were almost completely destroyed, and the progress of reconstruction and repair is still not very optimistic.

The white city has its own system compared to the gray streets, and the civil engineering masters in the gray neighborhoods can't come to the white world to show their skills.

The workload, ease, and even the compensation are on completely different levels, not to mention the internal structure and rules of the White City. Whoever wants to come can come.

Zheng Fan quickly found his target.

Those wretched sparrows!

……

In the aftermath of the disaster, some birdwatchers may have suffered damage to their own homes, but they are powerless to do anything about it. The White City area is inherently incapable of withstanding such pressure, so expecting people who have spent most of their lives in peaceful routines to calmly accept a sudden catastrophe is wishful thinking.

However, birdwatchers have at least not lost their sense of purpose.

Watching the birds still frolicking under the blue sky and white clouds, they felt their spirits soaring along with them, receiving boundless healing.

However, some birdwatchers are moved to tears when they see birds that remind them of loved ones.

For example, birdwatchers who follow the sparrow air piracy group.

During the reconstruction of Jiyun District, the once familiar square was divided by several cracks and ravines. The once bustling place is now only visited by a few scattered people, who at most stop and look around for a moment before leaving.

This was a place where the Sparrow Sky Pirates frequently operated, but now even the pigeons that were often robbed are nowhere to be seen.

But the sparrows are still there.

However, these days, these little creatures have not been as rampant in ruling this "airspace" as before.

They stopped on the broken fountain in the middle of the square, forming a circle, bowing their small heads towards the fountain pool in the center, which still had a little water.

That was a memorial service for their members who perished in the earthquake.

The Sparrow Sky Pirate Gang also suffered a major blow in the earthquake. They were somewhat panicked by the sudden disaster. Following the earthquake, it wasn't just people who moved away; many spiritual animals from other regions also left their original territories to find new homes.

That's how the conflict started.

While most people in the white neighborhoods were still complaining about why they couldn't restore the environment to its original state as quickly as they could in the gray neighborhoods, the life-or-death battle for these little creatures had only just begun.

As one of the dominant forces in Jiyun City, the Sparrow Sky Pirate Gang naturally faced numerous challenges.

They have suffered heavy casualties in recent days, and they have buried all the fallen martyrs in this fountain pool to commemorate them. They will continue to fight for them in the future!
Seeing their sorrowful appearance, some birdwatchers were deeply moved. Even sparrows are so strong, how could humans be so cowardly? What is there to be cowardly about?!

The battle of life has only just begun!
However, some were more vulnerable and couldn't help but think of their own less-than-optimistic situations. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was around, they burst into tears, venting their sorrow.

In such a somber atmosphere, a black sparrow appeared in their camera lens.

It's that black sparrow!

Some people still remember it; it was a magical sparrow with considerable individual combat power, which even caused the entire Sparrow Sky Pirate Gang considerable trouble on its own.

However, birdwatchers don't quite understand why it insists on fighting multiple opponents alone. If it wanted to dominate this area, it could easily have a one-on-one battle with the leader of the air pirate gang; with its strength, winning a duel would be a piece of cake.

But it immediately attacked the entire group.

Completely baffled, the only explanation was that this mysterious black sparrow harbored great ambitions and was a proud and solitary sparrow.

Could it be that he lost several times and got angry, and then acted recklessly because he didn't know the local rules?

That's ridiculous, and even intelligent urban animals wouldn't be so anthropomorphized; this idea was quickly rejected by birdwatchers.

However, something new happened. Although the Sparrow Sky Pirates were initially startled by the arrival of this black sparrow, they quickly calmed down.

They didn't go to war!?

……

Zheng Fan pinned down the leader of the sparrow flock in front of him. His eyes shone brightly like the high beams of a dog coming towards him on a dark road. He was not afraid of any opponent at this moment!

As a result, after the surrounding sparrows were startled for a moment, the big sparrow at his feet simply chirped once, which calmed the surrounding sparrows down again.

Zheng Fan: ?
Aren't you going to fight?
Delay?

Zheng looked at them with some suspicion.

"Chirp..." A sparrow at my feet chirped softly.

Zheng Fan was taken aback. He looked at the flock of sparrows and found that their numbers had indeed decreased significantly, by more than half. This was a huge loss for the originally large sparrow flock.

Even if they were to persist in resisting Zheng Fan in this state, relying on tactical maneuvering, they would be more than capable of breaking through the white city's restrictions and strengthening themselves without Zheng Fan issuing "white notes".

uninteresting.

how so?

The sparrows, which he considered a mountain he was determined to climb, had become so weak before he even arrived.

I've put in so much effort and sweat, but isn't it you who are waiting for me at the end?
The black sparrow's beak was slightly open, trembling, but it couldn't utter a sound.

"Chirp..." the sparrow leader chirped again.

Let the other sparrows go; Zheng Fan can do whatever he wants with it.

Zheng Fan looked at it and released the claws that were restraining it.

The sparrow leader stood up with some surprise and shook its wings and tail feathers.

Just then, a black and white figure approached the fountain pool without anyone noticing, its ghostly approach making the birdwatchers in the distance tense.

It's a black and white calico cat with mixed spots!

Its orange-yellow eyes stared greedily at the sparrow before it, its pupils dilated, fully prepared to pounce and kill.

Yes, it was its arrival after the disaster, along with other animals, that led to the current situation of the sparrows.

Now it senses that the sparrows are in a low morale and have reached a trough. Its purpose in coming here is to try to defeat them one by one and take control of this area!
The sparrows immediately noticed its approach.

But it was too late!
The sparrow leader had entered the attack range of its calico cat. At this distance, the sparrows were too slow to react. Once the leader was killed, the remaining sparrows would be scattered and disorganized.

The Emperor is a cow cat!

The sparrow leader's eyes widened as he saw the cow cat appear in his field of vision, realizing that he had nowhere to escape at this distance.

it's over!
Snap!

The milk cat pounced with lightning speed, but suddenly its head tilted to the side, and a small black paw grabbed its head and threw it directly into the fountain pool.

"Meow—!" Hissing and screaming immediately came from the fountain pool.

But then, fear, stemming from its biological instincts, swept over its entire body, even extinguishing all of the calico cat's will to live and leading it directly to waiting to die.

"Go to hell, I'm in a bad mood and I'm giving you the cat face."

Seeing the cat catching the sparrow made Zheng Fan, who was already not very happy, even more agitated.
