Sure enough, there was a viewing pavilion 300 meters to the east.
The Chinese-style octagonal pavilion, constructed of concrete and steel bars, has been invaded by mutated weeds for thirteen years. The cement ground has cracked, and the pillars are completely covered by vines with visible cracks, but the main structure remains standing.
Zhao Gang and his companions took shelter inside the pavilion to avoid the rain.
The howling mountain wind blew in the heavy rain, and the three adults tacitly formed a circle, protecting Zhao Xiaoxiu on the inside.
The two mutated hyenas, roused from their unconsciousness by this ordeal, struggled in terror inside the bag.
The heat was absorbed by the rain, and the temperature in the mountains dropped significantly.
Zhao Gang put a long-sleeved shirt from his backpack on Zhao Xiaoxiu, and the three adults and one child huddled together, waiting for the heavy rain to pass.
An hour later, the rain subsided.
The gray sky faded, and a ray of golden sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone down.
In the distance, there is a vast sea of clouds.
The rugged rocks of Yishan Mountain float and sink in the sea of clouds, while the green pines on the mountain stretch freely in the fresh air after the rain.
If it weren't for the mutated hyena beside her reminding her, Zhao Xiaoxiu would have thought she had arrived in paradise.
“Look,” Meng Laoda pointed to a strange rock in the sea of clouds, “Monkey Watching the Sea, that was a famous photo spot in Huangshan back in the day.”
Zhao Xiaoxiu looked over curiously.
On the mountaintop above the sea of clouds, two rocks, one large and one small, are piled together, round and cute. From a distance, they really do look like a monkey squatting by the mountainside, gazing at the sea of clouds.
The rain has stopped.
The golden ray of light on the sea of clouds vanished in an instant, and the sky turned gray again.
Meng Lao Er knocked out the struggling hyena in the bag and was about to call his brother to help carry them down the mountain.
Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly pointed ahead, her tone uncertain: "Monkey?"
What kind of monkey?
The three adults looked up and saw that the mountain forest was wet and misty after the rain.
A human-shaped figure suddenly appeared in the woods, looking at Zhao Xiaoxiu and her group in the pavilion through a patch of mutated grass.
Seeing that they had discovered it, it raised its 'hand' in a human-like manner and waved.
Then he turned and walked into the woods.
Take a step, then turn back and wave.
It's as if it's telling them to follow it.
The detection gun in Boss Meng's hand had its detection light turned on, but strangely, the light didn't turn on at all.
This means the detector is faulty.
Either it's that figure in the woods ahead, or it's not a mutant.
Meng Lao Er exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be an evolved animal?"
Perhaps realizing that Zhao Xiaoxiu and her group hadn't followed, the figure skipped back.
Just then, the fog in the forest cleared up, and a macaque that could walk upright was clearly exposed in front of the group.
It is larger than a typical adult macaque, with fluffy, glossy brown-gray fur.
It looks nothing like those mutated animals in the mountains with matted fur, sharp teeth and claws, and fierce eyes.
"It really is an evolved macaque!" Meng Lao Er's eyes were full of surprise.
Evolved animals are like national treasures like giant pandas in the apocalypse.
They are immune to viruses, their bodies are clean and virus-free, and they are food that can be eaten directly.
Meng Laoda was breathing rapidly. He didn't want to eat meat; he just wanted a generous reward!
Meng Lao Er tugged at Meng Lao Da and Zhao Gang's arms, calling out "Brother, brother!" "We can't let these points, which have been delivered to our doorstep, slip away!"
With that pull, Boss Meng's feverish mind suddenly calmed down.
They glanced at the evolved macaques still waving at them from the woods.
It seemed to have no hostility towards them, and was so docile that it didn't seem like a creature from the apocalypse.
"Brother Gang?" Boss Meng looked at the silent Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang looked up at the macaque.
The macaque also looked at him, its shrewd eyes darting back and forth between Zhao Gang and the Meng brothers, scratching its head in confusion.
Why is this human different from the two next to him?
Zhao Gang curled his lip in disdain. It was just a little more intelligent than the mutated trash species; it was nothing special.
The cub in my arms was brightly colored, much more interesting than this drab world.
However, Meng Lao Er said it could be exchanged for a lot of points.
Zhao Gang remembered the beautifully packaged candies in the convenience store and nodded, saying, "Let's go take a look."
have a look?
Didn't he immediately use his tentacles to grab the evolved macaque like he was grabbing a hyena?
Before Meng Laoda could figure it out, Zhao Gang had already led Zhao Xiaoxiu toward the macaque that kept waving.
Meng Laoda's testing gun was still pointed at the evolved macaque, and his finger, which was on the trigger, hesitated for two seconds before pulling it.
He knows absolutely nothing about evolutionary animals.
If a single shot fails to kill the monkey and instead angers the seemingly docile evolved macaque, it would be a net loss.
He then put down the testing gun, signaled to his younger brother to help him carry the mutated hyena, and hurriedly followed Zhao Gang and his daughter.
Seeing that the humans had finally caught up with them, the macaque immediately sped up, climbing the tree branches and leaping forward.
It seems to be leading them somewhere, but when it realizes it's running too fast, it turns back and leads the people who have fallen behind.
Seeing a tree blocking the road, it swatted it away and stood there, gesturing for them to hurry up and pass.
A ghost suddenly appeared, and its reaction speed was faster than a human's; in the blink of an eye, it was riding on the ghost's neck.
With its two front paws wrapped around the ghost's head, the monkey let out an angry shriek, twisted the ghost's head off, and disdainfully threw it into the grass.
This fierce action greatly shocked Zhao Xiaoxiu and the Meng brothers.
Meng was relieved that he hadn't pulled the trigger.
The group followed the macaques up the mountain forest, walking for more than half an hour along the stone steps carved from the foreground area. Suddenly, a Buddhist temple covered in weeds appeared before them.
This is the backyard of the Buddhist temple, and the gate is tightly closed.
The macaque led Zhao Gang and the others to the back gate of the Buddhist temple, quickly climbed over the courtyard wall, jumped into the courtyard, and opened the back gate of the temple.
It stood inside the door, waved to them, then stepped aside, and like a human, clasped its front paws together, lowered its monkey head, and bowed towards the main hall.
"Little monkey, you've brought people up here again?"
A tall, thin, bald man wearing a gray monk's robe and black-rimmed glasses walked out from the side of the main hall, carrying a hoe.
Looking up, he saw Zhao Gang and the other two standing outside the back door, seemingly unsurprised.
When she saw Zhao Xiaoxiu in Zhao Gang's arms, her mouth opened slightly, somewhat surprised that there was such a small child there.
He sighed helplessly at the macaque, nodded to the people outside the door, and said, "Since you're already here, come in."
"The rain is going to continue all night, so you can stay at the temple tonight."
The Meng brothers, who had been watching the macaques the whole way, looked at each other and sighed.
All the points I was about to earn have vanished! This evolved macaque already has an owner. Isn't that infuriating?
The sky was even darker than before, and the wind picked up; it was clearly a sign that it was about to rain again.
The two brothers looked at Zhao Gang, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Stay for one night."
Zhao Gang carried Zhao Xiaoxiu into the temple, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the main hall.
He discovered some very interesting things in the temple.
