Looking at the figures returning from hunting in the distance approaching, the photographer stood up from his chair:
"We have to get ready to go, too."
"Um."
Xiaosheng responded in a very low voice, and one could tell that she still felt a little guilty.
The brightness around gradually decreased, and darkness gradually enveloped the earth.
When the strange beasts returned to the camp near the red line, the photographer near the city wall put his hand on Xiaosheng's shoulder.
"There will be some dizziness, like... motion sickness."
Xiaosheng looked tense and hugged the notebook tightly in his arms.
The next moment, the surrounding darkness and shadows seemed to come to life, winding and climbing upwards little by little along the contact point between the human body and the ground.
This feeling is like being put into a cold unknown liquid little by little, and while feeling the coldness, there is also a sense of being tightly wrapped.
Xiaosheng couldn't see anything.
Unlike the darkness on the city wall where one could vaguely see the outline, her surroundings at this moment were not of some kind that could be described in color, but rather the experience of completely losing vision after closing one's eyes.
One of her senses had been taken away, and in compensation her hearing seemed to have been enhanced.
The sound of the wind on the plain at night reached her ears, making Xiaosheng realize that she had not lost all perception of the outside world.
After a few seconds, her body shook, and she felt the cold feeling quickly fade away, and the surrounding darkness once again flooded into her eyes.
She and the photographer had already emerged from the shadows and were now standing on the edge of the red line drawn by machine guns on the city wall.
This is also a friendly sign.
Since the red line defines the closest position where the monsters can avoid being shot, humans should also abide by this norm and not easily cross this area that symbolizes a sense of boundary.
"Let's get started."
The photographer took a half step back, but his hand was still on Xiaosheng's shoulder.
He had already made preparations. In the subsequent exchanges, as long as there was any sign that either side was about to enter a combat state, he would directly lead the other party through the shadows back to the city wall.
Xiaosheng looked at the alien beast camp not far ahead. Although it was already completely dark, she was still able to match some details of the camp with the results of her observations using the telescope in the afternoon.
For example, at the edge of the second spine around the camp gate, there was a large pit dug out with claws, filled with a large amount of broken bones and nutrient paste packages.
Well, it's quite hygienic...
Xiaosheng looked at the several figures rustling towards the camp, opened his mouth and made a strange sound.
That kind of sound didn't seem to be something a human could make; even the photographer standing behind him could sense some ethereal feeling in it.
The ears of several strange beasts that were busy dismembering their prey moved, and then they all stood still.
Fran also heard this voice. Seeing her friends around her fall into silence, she took the initiative to ask in the biofield:
"Everyone heard it? What does this mean?"
The heads on both sides of the three wolves were feasting on the food, while the head in the middle replied:
"Actually, we didn't quite understand what he said, but we felt like he wanted to meet."
Fran fell silent. The sound just now was more like the cry of a wild beast that she had never heard before rather than a language.
However, this cry seems to be able to transcend the races of the alien beasts, so that all the alien beasts can understand it.
She thought for a few seconds, then turned to look at the great elder with a broad back:
"Come with me and take a look."
A few minutes after sending the signal, Xiaosheng felt a huge figure moving forward in the darkness ahead.
Although darkness enveloped everything, the heavy footsteps and the feeling of oppression still made her swallow.
When the huge monster that looked like a city wall approached, Xiaosheng couldn't help but look up.
Then her expression quickly changed from fear to shock——
"Big, elephant?"
Although the brightness had been reduced to the limit, Xiaosheng still felt that the prototype of the huge alien beast opposite him was very similar to some old-era creature he had seen in the literature.
Her brain started to think rapidly and soon she was pressing her fingers to the rim of her nostrils and making strange noises.
"Boss, this human can talk!"
The huge beast sent a message to Fran in the biological field:
"And it's something I can understand directly."
At this moment, Fran wanted to exclaim in her heart, "Awesome!", but in the end she said very calmly:
“You can say hello to her.
"This is the power of human beings. What do you think? Have you seen it?
"If we can successfully return to Hope City and live with humans in the future, you can go and ask this human if he is willing to accept you."
“Yeah!”
The huge strange beast let out a loud roar.
Fran ignored the guy's excitement and jumped off his head, landing in front of Yingshi and Xiaosheng.
There was an invisible red line between the two people and the cat, and they began to stare at each other.
"Meow~"
"Hello, human."
Both parties said at the same time.
The silence in the darkness was a little harsh.
"Can you speak human (cat) language?"
Both parties asked again at the same time.
But this time the language used is that of humans.
It would be better to say that Fran is better at communicating with humans than with other beasts. After all, her brain is so developed that communicating with those guys always feels like bullying a child.
Xiaosheng on the other side felt unreal.
I have been preparing for so long, and even kept rehearsing in my mind the process of communicating with the livestock in the underground pasture, just to communicate with the strange beasts without obstacles.
And now, judging from the results alone, barrier-free communication has indeed been achieved, but it seems that the other party is accommodating oneself.
The records only say that the small cat was able to communicate with the humans on the city wall through writing.
This doesn’t mean that the other party can speak human language!
For a moment, Xiaosheng’s heart was filled with the thought “I am a waste”.
At this point, the only way to live up to my reputation as someone who has the ability to communicate with animals is to get things done well!
"Um, okay, it's a pleasure to communicate with you, Mr. Cat."
"Miss."
"Oh sorry, cat lady."
"It's okay, ma'am."
"Um, let me introduce myself to you. My name is 'Xiao Sheng' and I'm from Hope City. You can just call me Xiao Sheng."
"Then why don't you ask me what my name is?"
The short cat asked while looking upwards.
Xiaosheng felt a little confused, but she soon figured it out.
The other party is a strange beast with high intelligence and can communicate with humans without any obstacles, so isn’t it normal for her to have a name?
The discomfort you feel when being called "Ms. Human" may be similar to that of the other person.
"Excuse me, what is your name?"
"Flan."
