Chapter 117 Communication?
There was peace and tranquility for several days, and they encountered no powerful enemies. Even the zombies in the city were too easy to eliminate, which gradually eased everyone's tension.
After all, they were afraid that something even more terrifying was waiting for them ahead.
However, Lu Ming still found that there was something wrong with Aze, and he had been avoiding her these days.
That night, while everyone was resting, she called him out alone.
The two sat side by side on a low hill about four or five meters high, and neither of them spoke first.
Lu Ming looked at him several times, and finally couldn't help but said, "Aze, is there something on your mind?"
Aze remained silent, with his little head lowered, looking like an enlarged version of Xiaotian.
Lu Ming touched his head and asked, "Are you still thinking about what happened that day?"
He nodded.
"Okay, didn't I tell you that you were young, so you were bewitched and controlled by the tree. And you didn't do anything. At the last moment, didn't you manage to wake up? You didn't hurt me, so why are you unhappy?"
"Why only me? Everyone else is normal."
"People always have to grow up. You won't be that bad when you grow up. If you are that good now, we will be ashamed to death."
"Then I want to grow up tomorrow."
"Haha, when you grow up you will realize how precious the present time is."
“But there are many things you can only do when you grow up.”
"Hmm? What do you want to do?"
Aze pursed his lips, turned his head to look at her, turned back after a moment, and said, "I can't think of it for the time being."
Lu Ming smiled and rubbed his head. "Don't think too much, kid, or you won't grow taller."
He didn't want her to touch his head, as it would always remind him that he was still a child, but he didn't want to avoid her warm hands, so he was always torn.
Gu Chao was leaning against the car body at the foot of the hill, watching the two people talking and laughing, and thought expressionlessly that a new rule should be added to the team rules: "Team members are not allowed to chat during the mission."
Of course, "Except the Captain."
How can you have so much to say?
Tsk, kids are trouble.
Lu Ming finally persuaded Aze to calm down, and the two prepared to return to the camp.
Before I could stand up, I heard a "click" behind me.
"who?"
Aze quickly stood up and stood in front of Luming.
Lu Ming took out his sword and pushed Aze behind him.
A figure emerged from the shadows behind the trees.
It was the little girl who had reminded her that there was something wrong with the tree a few days ago.
"It's you?" Lu Ming was a little surprised and put away his sword.
There was a slight sound behind him. Lu Ming turned around and saw that it was Gu Chao climbing up.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Lu Ming didn't answer, but turned to look at the girl and asked, "Why are you here? Where is your team?"
The little girl held the little wolf in her arms, with some anxiety in her eyes.
This time Lu Ming saw clearly that the girl's mouth did not move, but a strange voice did sound in his mind.
"It's injured, please save it!"
Lu Ming saw that the little wolf in her hand seemed to be seriously injured. He was about to walk over, but he had just taken a step when he was stopped by two people.
"It's okay, I've seen her, she's not a bad person, don't worry."
The two men let go hesitantly.
Lu Ming came to the girl and examined the wolf cub. She found that it had been bitten on its back by something some time ago. The wound had begun to fester and was quite serious. She immediately began treatment.
Ten minutes later, she put her hand down, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and nodded, "It's okay, but you lost too much blood. You need to rest for a few more days."
The girl patted the little wolf's head and thanked Luming: "Thank you."
Lu Ming shook his head and patted the little girl's head. "Okay, we're leaving now. Be careful."
The little girl seemed caught off guard by Lu Ming's actions, her body stiffening slightly. When she saw them about to jump down the hillside, she "shouts," "Can I follow you?"
Lu Ming was a little surprised and stopped moving, but the other two seemed not to hear anything and walked straight forward. When they saw that she stopped, they asked her what was wrong.
"Can't you hear me?"
"What?"
"She said she wanted to follow us."
"It's not them, it's you." The strange voice sounded again.
Luming turned around and pointed at himself: "Me? Why?"
"Only by following you can Feixue survive the injury. It's the only one I have left, and I don't want it to die."
Gu Chao and Aze watched as Lu Ming seemed to be talking to the little girl, but strangely, they could only hear Lu Ming's voice the whole time, as if she was talking to herself.
Gu Chao walked back to Lu Ming and asked her with a frown.
Lu Ming just remembered this and asked, "Why can't they hear you?"
"Because I can't speak."
"Ah?" Lu Ming didn't expect her to say that. "Then how can I hear your voice?"
"Because I want you to hear it, you can hear it."
Is it some kind of supernatural power?
She had never heard of this ability.
"Then can you let them hear your voice too? This is our captain. If you want to follow me, you have to get his consent."
The little girl frowned, lowered her head and thought seriously for a while before she said to Gu Chao, "I want to follow her."
Gu Chao raised his eyebrows, seeming to be somewhat interested in this ability. He did not speak, but tried to respond in his mind: "Why?"
The little girl was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to communicate with her in this way. Then she explained the reason again.
Gu Chao replied calmly: "Then you should protect it yourself and don't let it get hurt again."
"But it has to hunt, and hunting will get it hurt."
"You can hunt for it yourself and then feed it the food."
"No! It loves to hunt, and I can't stop it."
Gu Chao's originally casual posture suddenly paused and became serious. At this moment, he seemed to see the shadow of a familiar person in the girl.
That person also said, "Hunting is a wolf's nature. A wolf's parents only teach it to hunt, but they don't help it hunt."
Maybe, you can try it.
"If you want to follow her, you must first accept my test."
"What is it?"
"First, protect her and don't let her get hurt. Second, you have to be useful to us. We don't keep idle people."
The little girl frowned, seemed to think about what he meant, and then nodded heavily.
Gu Chao turned around and called out to the others, "Let's go."
Lu Ming had been watching them perform a mime for a long time and was already curious. He asked, "What did you talk about? How come she understood you without you saying anything?"
"If I'm not mistaken, her ability should be communication. Since she can't speak, she can communicate with other creatures through some non-verbal means. I remembered you said last time that it seemed that the little wolf told the child that you saved it, so she didn't attack you, so I gave it a try."
Lu Ming suddenly understood.
But wait, communicating with other creatures?!
So, her ability is actually, beast control?!
