Chapter 233: Stimulating Superpowers
He wasn't the only one in this situation; nearly all the thirty or so people on the field were in the same state. Yet, somehow, it seemed as if everyone was faking it, putting on a facade of empathy and understanding.
Liu Yu quietly tugged at Zhuang Moxing's sleeve, her lips stiffened at a subtle angle as she lowered her voice and asked, "Did you understand what this fat red-haired squirrel said?"
Zhuang Moxing felt the warm breath beside his ear, and a hint of warmth finally melted away from his stagnant eyes. He turned his head and replied, "No, but it's quite interesting. Let's wait for it to finish."
Then, in a false listening, the big red-haired squirrel talked about how Gu Mao had stolen their stored food. Xu Wei felt a piercing pain in her head and her eyes immediately fell on the bowl of pine nuts in Liu Yu's hand.
The big red-haired squirrel also saw what was in Liu Yu's hand, and squeaked excitedly twice and jumped forward.
Zhuang Moxing quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Yu. Xu Wei didn't realize how she could understand animals' speech, and subconsciously rushed to Liu Yu to explain.
"Wait, don't be impulsive!"
Fortunately, the red-haired squirrel understood the current situation clearly. It just rushed to Liu Yu angrily, pointing its sharp claws at the pine nuts in her hand and squeaking.
The general meaning is: "This is it, this is it! This is the pine nuts we have worked so hard to save!"
The sudden actions of Xu Wei and the red-haired squirrel instantly attracted everyone's attention. Xu Shuyao was worried that Xu Wei would be accidentally attacked by the red-haired squirrel, which was obviously very excited, so she quickly went up to pull her back.
"Xu Wei, stay away from that squirrel, be careful it might scratch you!"
Xu Wei pulled her hand back and shook her head to appease her. Then she looked at Liu Yu with hesitation and said uncertainly, "Yu, Sister Yu, I feel like I can suddenly understand what this squirrel is saying..."
Upon hearing this, the group of people who had been listening to the squirrels' squeaking for a long time all looked at her. Xu Wei gradually realized something, and her heart started pounding, fearing that she had misunderstood.
You know, there will be no disappointment without hope. She was afraid that this was an illusion caused by her excessive desire to have superpowers.
But the incessant chatter of the big red-haired squirrel and the frizzy-haired squirrels in the trees continued to fall into her ears, expressing a clear and distinct meaning, and she could indeed understand those shrill cries.
Liu Yu saw the uneasiness and fear on her face. She had seen this ability to communicate with animals in her previous life, so it was indeed a precedent. She then guided the hesitant Xu Wei to stabilize her ability.
"If you're sure it's superpowers, then don't doubt it. Anyone in this world could become a superpower. Try to translate for us what these squirrels said. We're still confused."
Liu Yu's slightly relaxed tone effectively calmed Xu Wei's unstable mentality. She then translated the words that the red-haired squirrel had anxiously shouted before to everyone, word by word.
The red-haired squirrel only then realized that these humans could not understand what it was saying. After seeing someone translating for it, it immediately jumped to Xu Wei's feet and started to complain loudly.
As he spoke, he pointed at his own and his companions' backs, and scratched them a few times with his sharp claws, simulating "kuakua". An extremely uncomfortable expression appeared on his face, and he looked at Zhuang Moxing with fear and hatred in his eyes.
Xu Wei understood and glanced at Zhuang Moxing's slightly cold face. She paused for a second before speaking at the urging of the red-haired squirrel.
"Brother Mo Xing, these squirrels want you to help them remove that itch on their backs."
Zhuang Moxing's thoughts raced upon hearing this, his eyes subtly falling on the bowl of perfectly shelled and fried pine nuts in Liu Yu's hand, and he recalled the few words of emotion Liu Yu had mentioned last night.
Humans are social animals, and the large-scale and intensive occurrence of natural and man-made disasters has led to a sharp decline in the earth's population.
Even though he had lived two lives, Liu Yu, who considered himself to be cold-hearted and cold-hearted, could not help but feel a strange emotion of grief for the loss of another.
These ordinary survivors in the cave wouldn't live long, and she could see their final fate. But she couldn't save them. There were too many people like them, and she had been one of them before.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Moxing returned to the red-haired squirrel, who was nervously waiting for a reply. His expression was half-smile, but the deep meaning in it made the red-haired squirrel's back shiver, and his little paws clenched tightly.
"You can remove the talisman, but you need to agree to one condition of mine."
The red-haired squirrel was already wary of Zhuang Moxing. It could sense that this human was extremely powerful. Therefore, it was very cautious when making its request, even preparing for the possibility that it would not be granted.
But it didn't expect that this person actually agreed to cancel it. It immediately jumped excitedly on the spot, and its fluffy red hair bounced up and down "duanduan", which was funny and cute, as if it had no reason to respond to any conditions proposed by Zhuang Moxing.
Xu Wei didn't need to help translate this exaggerated performance. Anyone could tell what it meant. It was just short of shouting out the human words "I do!"
Zhuang Moxing quickly thought about the information Liu Yu had mentioned before.
According to her, the mutated animals after the apocalypse have a stronger ability to adapt to the environment than humans and have a much greater chance of survival than humans.
Then the win-win cooperation with these animals should bring new life to the black mud people in the cave.
As the red-haired squirrel waited excitedly, Zhuang Moxing glanced at the pine nuts in Liu Yu's hand and said, "I need you squirrels to establish a cooperative relationship with the humans living in the caves."
