Zhao Xiaoxiu remained silent, and the people outside the tent suddenly stopped asking questions, creating an eerily quiet atmosphere.
Suddenly, the shadowy figure on the tent, illuminated by the flames, moved slightly. "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the middle-aged man fired two shots directly into the tent.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and Monkey Sister narrowly escaped, and with a determined heart, they immediately summoned Little Flying Hero to unleash a magnetic field that controlled the three of them.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness startled the three of them. They found themselves floating and realized they might be under attack by some kind of mutated species. They hurriedly pulled out their weapons and started firing wildly in all directions.
Unfortunately, the bullet was stopped by a mysterious force less than three meters after it was fired, and it floated in mid-air.
When the gunfire stopped, Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Hou rushed out of the tent at the same time.
The three of them only saw a dark figure rush out of the tent, whose fur was barely visible as brown in the dim firelight.
A child rushed out right behind the monster.
etc!
Child?
Where did this child come from in this desolate wilderness?
The sight of a monkey and a child who looked to be about four years old left the three of them stunned, unsure of what was going on.
Monkey Sister struck first, pulling the three of them off the ground and slamming them hard onto the rocks!
After several screams, one person died on the spot, his body lying on the ground in a bizarre posture.
One of them broke free from the magnetic field and tried to fire a gun, but was knocked away by Sister Monkey and had its throat bitten off. Before it could even raise its hand, the pistol fell to the ground, and it died with its eyes wide open.
In just half a minute, his companions died one after another, and the only survivor wondered if these were monkeys and children.
This must be a highly advanced mutant that can transform into the appearance of a child!
Fear of the unknown extinguished his will to fight, and he picked up the fallen weapon and ran away.
Zhao Xiaoxiu raised her gun, aimed at the man's back, and pulled the trigger with a "bang!"
Before she was four years old, she had never had the chance to point a gun at her own kind. She was too nervous when she fired her first shot and missed.
The man thought he was going to die, but the bullet hit the rock in front of him. His heart tightened, and instead of feeling relieved, he felt that this was a countdown to death.
He immediately activated his speed evolution ability and rushed twenty meters away in the blink of an eye.
But the next second, Peter Pan activated the magnetic field again, and the man floated up uncontrollably, panicking and shouting for help.
At the same time, Zhao Xiaoxiu took a deep breath, raised her gun again, aimed, and steadily pulled the trigger.
Peter Pan dispelled the levitation magnetic field at the right moment, and the man fell from mid-air without any warning. Just as he was about to regain his footing, another gunshot rang out!
He seemed to have been suddenly struck by a heavy blow, and his body lurched forward.
Zhao Xiaoxiu fired another shot, this time finally killing the man.
Monkey Sister rushed over, carried the body back, and threw it in front of Zhao Xiaoxiu.
This was a strange face that Zhao Xiaoxiu had never seen before. The person had been shot in the abdomen and heart, and the manner of death was not particularly gruesome.
But those wide-open eyes still made Zhao Xiaoxiu feel uncomfortable.
She put down the pistol and realized that because she was too nervous, the muscles in her arms were too tense. When they suddenly relaxed, her hands felt swollen and numb, just like her sluggish brain, which had no idea what she was doing.
She instinctively gasped for breath, her eyes blinking incessantly, immersed in the feeling of killing for the first time.
It felt like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a short while, before Zhao Xiaoxiu's wildly beating heart calmed down.
She said, "Sister Monkey, smash the corpse's head and throw it at the foot of the mountain behind."
Immediately afterwards, she crouched down and searched all the belongings on the three men, then moved them into her tent.
Throughout the entire process, Zhao Xiaoxiu herself felt eerily calm.
Of course, she and Sister Monkey had done similar things before, but back then the corpses she touched were not ones she had killed herself.
Sister Monkey was very efficient; she finished dealing with the three corpses and ran back in no time.
Knowing that Zhao Xiaoxiu was a clean person, he even took a bath in the lake to make himself look neat and tidy before crawling into the tent.
A number of items were found on the three individuals, including several bottles of ordinary nutrient solution, some miscellaneous packets of seasoning, drinking water, and weapons.
Nowadays, most hunters are equipped with two types of weapons: firearms, which are used to deal with mutated animals and people.
One is a cold weapon, which is convenient for dealing with mutated plants and also serves as a supplement to insufficient firepower.
The three of them had used up most of their bullets, and Zhao Xiaoxiu had only managed to collect 15 rifle bullets.
So only one long spear was kept, and only one short knife was kept among the cold weapons; the rest were thrown into the lake, because they couldn't be given to others.
After recovering from the tension of her first killing, Zhao Xiaoxiu secretly reviewed the battle.
It was lucky that they encountered these three poorly equipped guys. If they had faced a barrage of machine gun fire in the first round, Zhao Xiaoxiu felt that she and Sister Monkey might have been riddled with holes.
"Sister Monkey." Seeing Sister Monkey come in, Zhao Xiaoxiu earnestly instructed it, "Next time we encounter a situation like today, we must take the initiative and seize the initiative."
Monkey Sister used to only know how to fight, so she didn't know anything about tactics like striking first. Her expression clearly froze, and she didn't quite understand.
Zhao Xiaoxiu still had high expectations for Monkey Sister's intelligence. She immediately picked up six wild fruits and placed them on the ground, leading Monkey Sister to review the situation and repeatedly deduce the best solution step by step.
Perhaps due to the excitement of killing for the first time, Zhao Xiaoxiu was not sleepy at all in the middle of the night. She became more and more energetic as she talked, her little mouth never stopping.
At first, Sister Monkey listened attentively, but then she started to feel dizzy. She only knew that the cub was saying some amazing things, but she couldn't remember the specifics of what it said.
However, Monkey Sister remembered one thing: from now on, they can only rely on each other!
The fire in front of the tent burned out, and it was a starless and moonless night, plunging the tent into complete darkness.
Zhao Xiaoxiu finally grew tired and nestled into Sister Monkey's arms, falling into a deep sleep. Her two little hands, one clutching a fruit, the other tightly gripping a gun.
The baby and the monkey leaned on each other and slept soundly until dawn.
Zhao Xiaoxiu opened the tent with great anticipation and ran to a high point by the lake to look down the mountain, but she did not see the person she wanted to see.
Monkey Sister followed, running even ahead of Zhao Xiaoxiu. They were almost down the mountain when she hung from the treetops, looking and looking until the afternoon. Then she ran back angrily, shaking her head at Zhao Xiaoxiu, indicating that she hadn't seen any trace of Xiwa.
"Let's wait one more day." Zhao Xiaoxiu packed her bags.
She was wearing an adult short-sleeved T-shirt that had been taken from a dead person, with a section of the oversized shirt dragging on the ground.
Yesterday, the three people also provided a backpack. Zhao Xiaoxiu packed all the supplies and wild fruits she had collected into the backpack, and also filled the Little Flying Man's fully charged solar-powered automatic shower with water.
As for the tent behind her, Zhao Xiaoxiu also planned to pack it up and take it with her, since she had a hovercar that could hold a lot of things.
With everything prepared, Zhao Xiaoxiu sat quietly by the lake and waited.
