"It's cold, so cold... Daddy, I'm so cold..."
On the gray sand, a little girl, soaking wet, huddled together with her eyes closed, seemingly trapped in a nightmare, muttering something under her breath and trembling.
A black tentacle tinged with blood red emerged from the sand, slowly approaching the girl. Just as it was about to raise its tentacle to touch the cowering little creature, a brown monkey shadow darted up from the rocks, spotted the cub lying on the beach, and rushed over with a cry of "Roar!"
The sneaky tentacles retracted with a "whoosh," carefully hiding under the sand. The gray sand and the black skin of the tentacles blended together, and the monkey sister, completely unaware, stepped right over them with a big stomp.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
Sister Monkey anxiously picked up the little girl, who was soaking wet, and shook her repeatedly, holding her thin shoulders.
Zhao Xiaoxiu's head was already spinning, and this shake made her even more dizzy.
However, thanks to Sister Monkey's antics, she finally woke up from the nightmare.
"Sister Monkey, stop shaking me... I'm going to throw up." A weak voice came from Zhao Xiaoxiu's mouth, and she immediately felt a burning sensation in her throat.
I drank too much seawater, and my throat became hoarse from the saltiness.
When Monkey Sister saw that she had woken up, she let out a joyful howl, hugged her tightly, and pressed her face against hers. Her wet fur was covered in sand, which rubbed all over Zhao Xiaoxiu's face.
That little face, which had been pale from being washed by the sea, instantly became rosy and radiant.
Zhao Xiaoxiu coughed twice, reached into her throat, and pulled out two disgusting, dark purple mutated seaweeds.
Monkey Sister immediately threw her aside in disgust and retreated five meters away.
Zhao Xiaoxiu: "......"
After resting for a while, Zhao Xiaoxiu looked up and surveyed her surroundings; it was another gray sandy beach.
Judging from the direction and height of the setting sun, it should be around 5 pm. She and Sister Monkey have returned to the fishing village near the Arknights base.
As her memories from before she fell into a coma returned, Zhao Xiaoxiu remembered seeing a huge black tentacle and a fierce whirlpool at sea.
Then she seemed to faint?
No, she didn't faint that quickly. Her vision went black for a moment, and then she felt something slippery and very soft envelop her.
It's like... Dad's tentacles!
"Dad!" Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly shouted on the beach.
Caught off guard, Sister Monkey jumped up in fright, looking left and right, but couldn't see Zhao Gang. Her eyes instantly turned to sympathy.
The poor little one is so missing his father that he's hallucinating.
"dad!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu called out again. She was certain that it was not a hallucination; she really saw her father.
Although He doesn't look like Zhao Gang, He is definitely the father.
Zhao Xiaoxiu started running on the beach, her eyes wide as she scanned her surroundings. "Dad, where are you? Are you hiding? I just saw you!"
The tentacle, which had been huddled in the sand and had just been stepped on by Sister Monkey, suddenly froze, too afraid to move.
Elsewhere on the beach, tentacles uncontrollably pierced through the sand, converging on the cubs.
However, before they could get close, they were pressed back down by another black and red tentacle.
It will scare the cubs!
"Daddy, why are you hiding from Xiaoxiu? Didn't you ask Xiaoxiu to come find you? Xiaoxiu misses Daddy so much, Daddy, please come out..."
Oh no, oh no, the cub's voice is trembling with tears. Is she about to cry?
The tentacles looked at each other from beneath the sand, but none of them were her father, Zhao Gang. What could they do?
The dark red tentacle that was most hidden was found by the other tentacles, and they pulled it hard, urging it to quickly become a father to the cub!
When the black and red tentacle shook its body, all the other tentacles dared not move, abandoning their own consciousness and connecting with the black and red tentacle to form a single consciousness entity.
Afraid of frightening the tiny cub, the black and red tentacles chased away the other tentacles, and after making full mental preparations and mustering their courage, they poked out their tiny tentacles from the sand.
Only a tiny tip of the touch is visible, like a mountain.
While searching for her father on the beach, Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly turned around as if sensing something, and bumped her head on a soft rock.
The little guy cried out "Ouch!" and covered his head, looking up in astonishment at what he saw.
A towering, bamboo shoot-shaped mountain, thirty meters high, stood silently before her.
Because the other party was so enormous, she appeared like an ant, just a tiny dot.
Zhao Xiaoxiu slowly lowered her small hand that was covering her head and reached out to the mountain in front of her. The familiar touch and warmth that she missed so much immediately came into her hand.
What looks like a massive, world-destroying creature is actually soft and warm.
"Daddy!" Zhao Xiaoxiu cried out in surprise, both laughing and crying. Two lines of tears streamed down her red eyes. The little girl quickly sniffed, raised the back of her hand to wipe her tears, and said awkwardly:
"Dad, how did you get so big?"
She stretched out her arms to hug him, but she couldn't lift him at all.
Monkey Sister, who had been chasing after Zhao Xiaoxiu, was dumbfounded. This wasn't the Gangzi she knew!
Could the baby be mistaking its father?
The other party seemed to be able to hear its thoughts, and another black and red tentacle emerged from the sand and knocked it down.
The sturdy monkey sister had no ability to resist in front of this behemoth and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.
It scrambled to its feet in terror, glanced at the menacing tentacles behind it, then at the mountain-like tentacles in front of it, and just wanted to roll its eyes and faint.
