It was just Chen Chengduo’s focus on making a mini playground, not paying attention to Shu Xiaohui who was shocked and dropped his popcorn.

Shu Xiaohui sighed, stretched his paws and picked up the popcorn on his soft belly. To exercise hard in the future, he had to eat hard, otherwise he would have no energy to exercise.

Soon Shu Xiaohui ate the four popcorns up, to complement moisture of his body, he took out a mung bean and ate it.

Then, Shu Xiaohui stepped on Chen Chengduo’s clothes, slipped quietly down the table, and followed the smell to find other popcorns.

Popcorns are the driving force for his future exercise, and he wanted to preserve them himself. 

The smell came from Chen Chengduo’s backpack. The backpack rested on the sofa. Shu Xiaohui sniffed around, struggling up with his paws and climbing.  

After climbing on the sofa, he rested for a while and continuing to climb the backpack. He climbed up and found that the backpack was zipped and the hamster’s strength could not unzip it.

It’s okay. The little zipper couldn’t stop him. Although the hamster’s teeth can’t bite Chen Chengduo’s metal hand, he can bite the backpack easily.

Then Shu Xiaohui opened his mouth and vigorously nibbled Chen Chengduo’s tactical backpack.

The backpacks of ACU camouflage are all high-density canvas fabrics. For hamsters, it worth a bite.

Shu Xiaohui gradually got a rhythm. The small teeth were moving fast, making a humming sound, and the small paws were still holding backpack tightly.

Not wasting too much time, Shu Xiaohui bit a hole in the backpack.   

Shu Xiaohui spit out the debris in his mouth, his small head stretched in, the inside of the backpack was black and could not see anything. Shu Xiaohui lifted round buttocks and drilled in.

Shu Xiaohui stretched his head inside and looked for popcorns with smell, and then he seemed to step on something a little soft.

He stretched his paws and stepped a few times, then he turned his body, looked at it through the shimmering light from the little hole he had nibbled out. 

The things under his paws seemed to be the C4 wrapped in tarps, the plastic explosive Chen Chengduo got from the side of the container …

Shu Xiaohui’s little paws shook twice, gritted his teeth, Chen Chengduo put the explosive and the food together!  

It was scary!

The hamster ball carefully moved its paws off the plastic explosives, and was careful not to touch the thing.

Next to it was a bag. Shu Xiaohui didn’t smell the popcorn, but smelled like the bath sand like his body. He stretched his paws and pulled it, that’s a camouflage T-shirt.

Exactly the one Chen Chengduo put on Shu Xiaohui’s body when the hamster became a human.  

But Shu Xiaohui didn’t know that, and he thought that it was because he used got into Chen Chengduo’s arms and gave this T-shirt the smell of bath sand.

And Shu Xiaohui kept looking for, then he found an aid kit, a compass, food supplement, a compressed sleeping bag …

Finally, he smelled popcorn in the bag inside the backpack.

Shu Xiaohui was happy that he was finally done, then he put these packed popcorns into his small space, stepped on the contents of the backpack and stretched out a small head from the hole he was bitten, using the dark and bright eyes observed Chen Chengduo secretly.  

The training ground shouldn’t be finished yet, Chen Chengduo continued making.

Shu Xiaohui was secretly delighted and climbed out through the hole.

Shu Xiaohui stood on the backpack, looking at the small black hole that he had bitten out, and the small paws stepped hard on it, trying to destroy the evidence, but apparently the hole could not be recovered by itself.

Shu Xiaohui felt guilty for a second and instantly decided, there was no need for Chen Chengduo to use a backpack. In the future, he will help Chen Chengduo to store all these things, and how burdensome it is to carry a backpack.  

Then, without guilt, Shu Xiaohui slid down the backpack.

After this tossing, Shu Xiaohui felt tired and was a little sleepy beside the backpack.  

Chen Chengduo spent more than an hour finally building the deluxe hamster training ground. He turned his head to look at Shu Xiaohui, planning to introduce the training devices to Shu Xiaohui one by one and discuss the training plan in the future with him.  

Unexpectedly, the small metal bowl on the table was empty. Where was his hamster?

Chen Chengduo looked around, not on the table, nor the ground.

Chen Chengduo walked up to the only single sofa in the room. His backpack on top of it, and his gun was next to the backpack, the same one that Professor Wei had designed for him.

And his hamster, with small paws holding the butt of the gun, fell asleep there.

How much does he like weapons?  

Chen Chengduo touched his chin and turned to look at the training ground he made. It seems that there was a lack of a shooting range. Even if there was no gun suitable for small warpet, this shooting range just used for decoration, Shu Xiaohui should like it.

Chen Chengduo turned around, removed a roller on the side of the training ground, and vacated the space. Several targets were set up on it and converted it into a small shooting range.

Then Chen Chengduo walked back, he reached out and poked the hamster ball. Shu Xiaohui rolled and was stuck in the gap between the gun butt and the backpack, but he was still asleep.

Chen Chengduo chuckled. Shu Xiaohui slept after he was full, not afraid of growing into a fat ball?

Chen Chengduo poked him again. Although the whole hamster ball was small, but he was so soft that he could burry one of Chen Chengduo’s little finger knuckles.

Although the hamster had no muscle, he was flexible. 

The humanoid Shu Xiaohui came out of Chen Chengduo’s mind unexpectedly … he seemed also to be quite flexible.  

Chen Chengduo took a breath, looking at the fluffy hamster ball. 

Still not waked.

Chen Chengduo wanted to wake up the hamster with food. He pulled the backpack and just opened the zipper, and saw a small black hole beside the zipper that had been nibbled out.

Chen Chengduo stretched out his hand and just reached in with two fingers. The hole’s edge was quite neat. Chen Chengduo smiled, and he saw the popcorn inside was gone.

Chen Chengduo took the backpack away and placed it on the ground, looking down at the hamster ball, whose small paws huddling and the small nose trembling with breathing, thinking for a moment.  

Chen Chengduo did not care about a backpack. There were so many camouflage backpacks that he can change one.

What he thought about was, rodents should be grinding teeth, should he buy Shu Xiaohui a grinding stone? … And rodents should be nocturnal animals. If Shu Xiaohui wanted to sleep during the day, then he should let him sleep.

Chen Chengduo gave up his intention to introduce the training ground made to Shu Xiaohui. He directly picked up the hamster ball and put him in a ceramic evaporating dish that was washed and dried. Then the hamster unconsciously melted into a pancake, with his small chin on the edge of the dish.

Chen Chengduo moved Shu Xiaohui’s head a little to keep him nestled inside, and then put the ceramic evaporating dish in the small metal cage. Then he hung it on his waist.

Chen Chengduo wore an ordinary sportswear, opened the door and went downstairs, went to the armament office to get some supplies.

Liao Qingshan from the Armament Department greeted him with a smile, “Captain Chen.”

Chen Chengduo smiled, “Uncle Liao, in addition to what I usually need, give me something that can exchange supplies in the market.”

Liao Qingshan nodded, quickly packed two large backpacks for him, and handed it over, “This one is your supply, biscuits, instant noodles, and other popular items.”

Chen Chengduo took it over, hesitating for a while and said, “Uncle Liao, do you have any larger bath towels or sheets that feel comfortable?”

Liao Qingshan scratched his hair. “Ordinary bath towels and sheets are a lot, but I have a special fabric here that is waterproof, fireproof and thermally insulating. It used to be the spacesuit lining, but it was a bit small.”

“Ok, you took it out.”

Liao Qingshan turned around and flipped through the warehouse, and soon took out a roll of light yellow fabric.

Chen Chengduo pulled it out, it felt soft and not too big. It was big enough to make a cloak. Then, if humanoid Shu Xiaohui appeared again, it would not be so messy. 

Chen Chengduo piled up and stuffed it into his backpack. “I’ll take it.”

“Okay.” Liao Qingshan made a note and asked Chen Chengduo to sign his name.

Chen Chengduo returned to his room, found a baseball hat from the closet, and found a mask to wear, and then carried another bag to the New city’s trading market.

In addition to the Bai family’s strangers and military soldiers, there are still many survivors of the New city. Although the Bai family and the military will have some scuffles at night, during the day, the strangers of the Bai family will not conflict with the military casually.  

The purpose was naturally to make the Bai family better accepted by the people, rather than being opposed by the people of the city as soon as the empire is established.

There is a trading market in a specific small open space in the New city, and many people will exchange some materials there.

It was just that Chen Chengduo walked along the originally familiar path, but no one was found.  

Chen Chengduo was confused, and a person next to him said, “Bro, the trading market has changed places, everyone has gone to the protective wall.”

Chen Chengduo nodded for thanks and went to the side of the protective wall in the direction pointed by the man.

When seeing the relief on the big gong poked there by himself, Chen Chengduo slightly hooked his lip, fingers crossed the cage, and gently touched the back of Shu Xiaohui.

However, Chen Chengduo’s smile didn’t last long, and he was frozen by a sudden bang.

“Let’s see, let’s see, the same style gong and hammer of Captain Chen’s warpet, don’t miss it when passing by …”

“Captain Chen’s hamster bolsters, wood carving, clay figurine…”

Su Xiaohui under his finger suddenly stood up, and woke up, “Squeak?”

What happened?

Then he saw the big hamster relief on the giant gong not far away.

The familiar gong with carved sunflower seeds, the familiar hammer, and that huge round hamster ball.

Shu Xiaohui was startled, “Squeak?!”

So, all people in the city had known I was so fat round?!
