Chapter 1143: Being Cast Out of the Cave
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yun Meng spent a while observing those creatures from the roof. She found them hiding in nearby woods and buildings after running out of the cave, then shrinking in the corners, trembling and staying motionless.
Yun Meng scratched her scalp, feeling very confused. She looked at those creatures and murmured to herself, “What’s wrong with them? How come they seem to have been cast out of the cave? Am I missing something?”
The big one was lazily lying by the edge of the woods in the shadow, not going anywhere. What on earth was in the cave that made them run out to hide in the middle of the day?
After a short observation, Yun Meng moved backward and then made a whistle. An old man flashed to her side and complained, “Can you please change your way of summoning me next time? Please don’t whistle every time. Am I a dog?”
Yun Meng gave him a glare and said, “I didn’t say anything. You said that yourself.”
Old Guo reached out and gave her a slap on her head.
“Ouch! You bloody old man!” Suffering that slap, Yun Meng instantly bared her teeth toward the old man and yelled at him.
“As a kid, you have no idea that you should respect the elders,” Old Guo ignored her ferocious face. The little one hadn’t released her level-seven zombie vibe anyway. Then, he calmly turned to the cave entrance and sniffed around, then asked Yun Meng, “I thought they only take action at night. What are they doing outside in the middle of the day?”
Yun Meng adjusted her expression as she shrugged and spread her hands, “I don’t know what happened. They’ve been out for a while. They’re hiding in the shadows near the entrance, not going anywhere else. I think something underground cast them out.”
Old Guo looked around, then roughly counted the underground gorillas on the outside. “There are… They’ve all come out, haven’t they? What do you think cast them out?”
Yun Meng shrugged again and said, “That’s only my guess. I only sensed these gorillas’ scent from the cave and no other scents.
Old Guo thought for a moment and said, “How long do you think they’ll stay outside?”
Yun Meng rolled her eyes and responded, “How am I supposed to know?”
“Let’s first see what’ll happen then send the news back to the base. Chief isn’t in the base,” Old Guo stood there with a hunched back and said. His gown was still clean, and his gray hair were brushed neatly to the back of his head. If he didn’t rub Yun Meng’s hair with his hand, he’d look like a serious old man!
Clap! Yun Meng was beyond tolerance. She slapped the zombie old man’s hand off her head, then complained, “Can you please stop rubbing my hair? Is that fun? Are you an old man? I think you’re more like a kid! You’re even more childish than Four!”
Old Guo tittered and then gave a sigh, “I’m an old man. That’s exactly why I like to rub your hair. You kids are like my grandchildren…”
…
In All Beings Base, Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng still had a worried frown as no clue about Lin Wenwen was found. Wu Chengyue was cooking in Lin Qiao’s kitchen while the two kids were playing in the living room.
Teng crawled off the couch, then crawled back onto the couch from the carpet, and then crawled to the other side; he just couldn’t stop moving. Unlike him, Ling Ling was quietly sitting in an armchair, drawing on her drawing board. From time to time, she raised her head to give Teng a glance. After confirming that the boy wasn’t hurting himself, she lowered her head and kept drawing.
“Daddy, is the food ready? I’m hungry!” After the twentieth time the boy crawled onto the couch from the carpet, he finally stopped and yelled at the kitchen.
“It’s already ready. Just a second,” Wu Chengyue’s voice came out of the kitchen.
Hearing Teng’s yelling, Wu Yueling raised her head again to look at the boy. She thought for a second, then dropped the drawing board and ran to the fridge to take out a few strawberries that she brought to the boy.
Teng took over a strawberry and put it in his mouth before sucking it. His teeth hadn’t fully grown out yet, but the strawberries were so tender that he could even chew it with his gums. Therefore, he could easily drink the juice from the strawberry.
As Teng had eaten one of those strawberries, Wu Yueling also picked one and put it into her mouth.
A short while later, Wu Chengyue brought the food out of the kitchen and placed it on the dining table, then said to the two kids, “Alright, come here for the meal.”
Wu Yueling stood up and lifted Teng from the couch, then walked toward the dining table.
“Daddy, you cook more and more slowly,” said Teng.
Wu Chengyue looked at him and said, “It’s because your appetite is getting greater and greater. My timing is perfect. You get hungry very easily. What does that have to do with me?”
Wu Yueling put Teng into his baby chair. After that, Teng said, “You don’t let me eat my fill! I’m gonna tell Mama!”
Wu Chengyue said to him with a smile, “So tell me, on which meal didn’t I let you eat your fill?”
Teng thought for a moment and failed to come up with an answer. He really got hungry very easily though. He figured that it was because his body was growing rapidly.
“Where do you think your aunt has gone? She just disappeared without a trace. I don’t even know when she’ll come back.” While putting porridge into the boy’s bowl, Wu Chengyue gave a sigh.
“If my aunt is still missing when Mama comes back, Mama’s gonna get worried,” Teng gave a sigh as well, then picked up his small spoon and started eating.
“I don’t think your Mama will come back any time soon,” Wu Chengyue put some food in Wu Yueling’s small bowl, then continued, “She needs to collect a lot of nuclei and recruit some high-leveled zombies to enlarge her army.”
“How do you know?” Teng looked at him questioningly, “Did she tell you about that?”
Wu Chengyue smiled, “No, she didn’t. I guessed. I don’t think she went to the Northwest to watch a show.”
Teng nodded without fulling understand, “Oh.”
…
On the other side, Lin Qiao had figured out what Si Kongchen wanted. He was probably planning on waiting until she almost killed the bear and then launch a sudden movement to get it.
That was a nice plan. The man was such an old fox! However, taking the bear from her was not going to be easy. Lin Qiao doubted if he had the capability to do that. Also, his plan allowed Lin Qiao time to do exactly what she was doing now—absorb the bear’s energy as much as possible.
“Roar…” Lin Qiao’s dark fire in the dark sphere had been absorbing the bear’s energy constantly. The bear sensed its energy losing by a good amount and the pain from its wounds. It was in a great panic, but no matter how it tried, it could not free itself from the dark fireball.
No matter how much energy the bear released and how hard it scratched the dark sphere with its claws, it couldn’t break the dark fire.
All it could do was roar loudly.
