Little Baby is gone.
Giving the evolution potion to Xiwa was a huge gamble, because Zhao Xiaoxiu wasn't betting on points, but on people's conscience.
As for conscience, she wasn't sure if Xiwa actually had it.
Back in the tent, there was a small stove, a frying pan, an insulating mat, and a sleeping bag.
The sleeping bag was filled with Xiwa's scent, so it seems he's been sleeping in the tent for the past few days.
There used to be a small factory in this mining area. Sister Monkey said that they came out in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare so carefully. Zhao Xiaoxiu guessed that the tent and the things inside it must have been found in a nearby abandoned factory.
Wearing only her master's thin jacket, and with the mountain temperature low at night, Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't mind Xiwa's sleeping bag at all, crawling inside completely, with only her little head sticking out.
Like a guardian angel, Sister Monkey sat with her back to the cubs at the tent entrance, while Peter Pan hovered nearby, constantly alerting the surroundings.
With them by her side, Zhao Xiaoxiu's heart, which had been adrift for two days, finally settled down.
She lay in her sleeping bag, sorting through the events of the past few days.
Her father was killed in the bombing, and everyone thought she was very sad, but she wasn't.
As she crawled out of the ashes, she realized that the bright light that had fallen from the sky was an incendiary bomb.
A chemical weapon that repeatedly explodes and causes high-temperature combustion, specially developed by a biotechnology company, initially touted as a deadly weapon against S-class mutants.
This incendiary bomb is as powerful as a nuclear bomb, but without radiation. The biotech company claims it is a very environmentally friendly weapon of mass destruction.
However, due to high manufacturing costs and scarce raw materials, the biotechnology company has not yet been officially put into military use.
Many survivors were unaware of the existence of incendiary bombs, and Zhao Xiaoxiu was also initially unaware of them.
But from the moment she woke up, her mind was automatically filled with a lot of information.
She not only knew about incendiary bombs, but she also knew that the reason she was able to crawl out of the ashes was because her father sacrificed his body to shield her from all the damage caused by the incendiary bombs.
She did panic for a moment when she first woke up, but she was quickly drawn to the images that appeared in her mind.
She 'saw' a white island standing in the sea, and 'saw' a colossal creature sleeping in the deep sea, but she couldn't see its full appearance. She only remembered a dense blackness lurking in the abyss of the seabed.
She also heard a call from the abyss, a voice that belonged to no one, completely different from Zhao Gang's voice, but Zhao Xiaoxiu knew that it was her father!
Her father was blown to bits, but he didn't die.
Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't know why her father was still alive even though his body had been blown up, but she was enough to know that he was alive.
"Sister Monkey, let's go find Dad together after Xiwa brings back the points card, okay?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked Sister Monkey softly.
The tone, tinged with anticipation, trepidation, and caution, made Sister Monkey's heart clench.
Poor little cub~
It turned around, climbed in front of her, stretched out its thick monkey arm, and gently rubbed her soft hair, squeaking softly.
Don't worry, it's not a little brat; it will always be with her...
Wait a moment!
Suddenly realizing what the poor little cub in front of her had said, the monkey sister's eyes widened instantly as she looked at her in surprise.
Looking for Dad?
Didn't she just tell Xiwa that Zhao Gang was blown up?
Zhao Xiaoxiu was amused by Monkey Sister's constantly changing expressions. She's still laughing? Monkey Sister became even more anxious, pulling Zhao Xiaoxiu out of her sleeping bag and shaking her by the shoulders. "Tell me, tell me!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu laughed even more happily, her pent-up feelings vanished, and she returned to being the lively and cheerful four-year-old girl who loved to play little pranks.
The monkey sister looked at her smiling, completely bewildered, and anxious to ask for clarification, but since it couldn't speak human language, it roared in frustration.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was sprayed with spit in her face. Her smile vanished instantly, and she frowned as she brought her face close to the monkey's belly, wiping it clean with its fur before whispering in its ear:
"This is a secret. I'm telling you, you're not allowed to tell anyone... oh no, I mean, you're not allowed to tell any evolved animal."
Monkey Sister nodded eagerly, gazing at her expectantly.
Zhao Xiaoxiu: "My father is not dead. I know where he is. He is waiting for me in that place."
Sister Monkey scratched her head and thought for a while, her eyes gradually becoming confused, she didn't quite understand!
She was blown up but didn't die. The cub knows where Zhao Gang is. Zhao Gang is waiting for her in that place. So where is that place?
Monkey Sister waited for Zhao Xiaoxiu's explanation, puzzled.
Unfortunately, Zhao Xiaoxiu shrugged and said, "I can't explain it either."
It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Sister Monkey, it was that she really couldn't say it. She could only sense a general direction, and the only landmark was the white island.
Afraid that Sister Monkey would continue to ask her what the white island was, Zhao Xiaoxiu crawled back into her sleeping bag, closed her eyes, and said, "Sister Monkey, I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight."
As soon as she finished speaking, the soft snoring of a sound sleeper began to fill the air. Sister Monkey scratched her head in disbelief, "She's asleep so quickly?"
Okay, then let her go.
But Zhao Gang is not dead, which is really good news!
Monkey Sister couldn't help but feel happy and relieved.
It was just thinking that the cub had no mother or father and would be a pitiful child with no one to care for her in the future. Should it take on the role of both father and mother and take care of her until she grows up?
Now all it has to do is take the cubs to find her father, who is still alive but whose whereabouts are unknown!
The abandoned mining area is not far from the plantation in Area A. Hunting groups often come here to hunt, and there are very few mutated species.
Zhao Xiaoxiu slept soundly through the night without encountering any danger.
Xiwa should have already entered the city, and it will be at least two days before he can return to the mining area after finishing his business.
Sister Monkey picked a handful of wild fruits and brought them back. Some were delicious and some were not, but Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't dare to be picky at all. She ate them all, barely enough to fill her stomach.
The mine is in a secluded location, making it a good campsite. Zhao Xiaoxiu doesn't plan to move there for the time being.
Leave Peter Pan to watch the house, jump onto Monkey Sister's back, and the two of them, one child and one monkey, embark on an exploration.
Besides food, what Zhao Xiaoxiu wants most right now is a pair of shoes.
I walked barefoot for a whole day and night before, and I only noticed yesterday when I took a shower that there was a thick layer of scabs on the soles of my feet. It was the result of repeated injuries and healing processes on the soles of my feet.
Even the careless Monkey Sister hissed and gasped when she saw it. After that, whenever Zhao Xiaoxiu left the tent, she would hold her in her arms and not let her walk on the ground.
Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't think she was that delicate, but she enjoyed being pampered by Sister Monkey.
After searching all morning, the two were lucky enough to find two adult rubber shoes in an abandoned factory area, both left-footed and size 41.
Zhao Xiaoxiu took out a small knife from her pocket, cut off the sole of the shoe by holding it to her own foot, then poked three holes in the rubber sole. She twisted the scraps of cloth she had picked up into thin ropes, threaded them through the holes, and tied them up. Now she had a pair of children's flip-flops.
