Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately poked her head out of the window and tentatively called out, "Little monkey?"
After a long while, a monkey face covered in golden fur peeked out from behind the railing, squeaked, and then quickly withdrew its head.
He looked cowardly, wanting to acknowledge her but also afraid of Zhao Gang.
Zhao Xiaoxiu suppressed a laugh and deliberately raised her voice to Zhao Gang, "Dad, the little monkey is my friend. Can I invite it to come back to our territory with us?"
Zhao Gang: "Hmm."
"Then Daddy, you won't bully the little monkey, right?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked again.
Zhao Gang looked helpless, but tried his best to cooperate and gave a heavy "hmm".
"See? My dad said he wouldn't bully you, little monkey, don't be afraid." Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately popped out of the window frame and shouted back with a laugh.
The macaque poked out its furry head, its two eyes shining like crystal grapes in the darkness.
Really? It's confirming.
Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded heavily, her small body leaning out of the window frame. She looked like she was about to fall off the car at any moment, which startled the macaque so much that he grabbed the railing with one hand and quickly reached out with the other to try to catch her.
But before it could get close, the little girl laughed and shrank back, settling comfortably into the passenger seat.
She patted the empty seat next to her and called out, "Little monkey, come here."
The macaque, relieved to be scared, bared its teeth at her angrily. It then hung upside down from the roof of the car, its two eyes quickly scanning Zhao Gang, who was driving. Seeing that he didn't seem to object, it squeaked and happily jumped into the car to sit next to Zhao Xiaoxiu.
It was clearly not a well-behaved animal; it touched this with its paws and looked around with its monkey eyes, finding everything very interesting.
Seeing the mutated tree branch sweep across the car body, it urgently let out a threatening growl. After realizing that the car had passed safely, it sat down firmly and patted its chest like a human.
The macaque was already an adult monkey, not as tall as Zhao Gang, and about the same size as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old human teenager when standing upright.
Even when it was sitting in its seat, it was much taller than Zhao Xiaoxiu.
Zhao Xiaoxiu glanced down curiously and saw that it was a monkey.
It noticed her looking at it, and following Zhao Xiaoxiu's gaze downwards, it suddenly became shy and covered its private parts with its hands, growling unhappily at Zhao Xiaoxiu, "Little one, don't look like that!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu covered her mouth and chuckled softly twice, then turned her head to look ahead, respecting the macaque's decision not to look any further.
But the little hand next to the macaque couldn't resist reaching out and secretly touching its fluffy, golden-brown fur.
It feels soft and fluffy to the touch, completely different from the hard and prickly feeling I imagined!
If macaques had eyebrows, they would be deeply furrowed at this moment. Although it is an adult, its personality is similar to that of a child. It also secretly stretched out its paw and quickly stroked the soft yellow fur on the cub's head.
After the man and the monkey finished their 'mischief,' they sat up straight, but couldn't help looking back at each other and giggling.
In this pleasant yet slightly gloomy atmosphere, we finally arrived at the planting area in Zone B.
As soon as we entered the main road of Zone B, two blinding headlights shone on us.
It's a patrol car.
"Who is it?" the soldier in the vehicle shouted through a megaphone.
Zhao Gang leaned out of the car. "I am Zhao Gang, the lord of Land Number 13. I just returned from a recruitment mission."
The headlights of the oncoming car switched from high beam to low beam, and the father and daughter were finally able to see the figures in the car opposite them.
The soldier in the co-pilot waved to them and let them pass.
As the two vehicles passed each other, the patrolling soldiers on board kindly reminded them, "The intruder's accomplice has been found. Security will be strengthened in the planting area from now on, so the lords can rest assured and get through the winter."
Zhao Gang asked curiously, "Who is it?"
The soldier scoffed and replied, "The lord of plot number 16."
Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father exchanged a glance. It seemed the investigation team was very efficient, resolving the matter so quickly.
"Two new lords will arrive soon to replace the original Lord No. 2 and Lord No. 16," the patrolling soldiers added another piece of news.
"By the way, when is our stationmaster coming back?" they asked.
Zhao Gang said, "It should be soon."
This answer was as good as no answer, and the patrolling soldiers gave Zhao Gang a speechless look.
"etc!"
The large truck, which was about to leave, was stopped again by a patrol car.
A beam of light suddenly shone into the passenger compartment of the truck, exposing the macaque crouching under the seat. Its golden-brown fur was clearly visible.
The patrolling soldiers were startled and immediately aimed their weapons at the co-pilot's seat.
Zhao Xiaoxiu instinctively raised her hands and hurriedly explained, "It's not a mutant, it's just an evolved little monkey!"
The soldiers, their expressions stern, shouted, "Get out of the vehicle immediately for inspection!"
They strongly suspected that the father and daughter in the car were White Walkers.
Zhao Xiaoxiu had just made the macaque hide because she was worried that something like this would happen.
I didn't expect I still couldn't escape it.
There was no other way but to get off the vehicle with the restless and agitated macaque for inspection.
"Sister Monkey, please bear with it, don't be angry." Zhao Xiaoxiu kept stroking the monkey's body to soothe its emotions.
Now that it's been discovered, there's no need to hide it anymore. Let's explain it clearly once and for all to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings later.
While undergoing the blood test, Zhao Gang explained, "This is an evolved macaque. We encountered it during the mission. It's Xiaoxiu's pet. I guarantee it won't harm any lord on its own."
pet?
The macaque was clearly unhappy with this identity and wanted to bare its teeth, so Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly stood on tiptoe and whispered in its ear to soothe it: "This is just a story to fool them. You are not anyone's pet, I promise."
The monkey looked over distrustfully, while the cub's eyes were clear and sincere, devoid of any ulterior motives.
The monkey scratched its chin, a strange feeling welling up inside it. It didn't understand what it was, but it suddenly felt that the human cub in front of it seemed different from the humans it had encountered before.
Okay. It will choose to believe her for now.
So when the patrolling soldiers approached the macaque with a testing instrument with a sharp needle, it was wary, but under the gentle, encouraging gaze of the cub, it reluctantly withdrew its claws and let the soldiers prick it.
Although the two patrolling soldiers had never seen evolved animals before, they knew that most of them were hostile to humans and would become highly aggressive if humans crossed the line.
But this evolved macaque in front of them, despite its bared teeth and hostile eyes, still obediently let them take half a tube of blood.
Animals are not humans after all; they lack human thinking ability and only know that if they are hurt, they must bite back fiercely.
This unusual behavior certainly surprised the two patrolling soldiers.
During the brief two minutes they waited for the test results, neither of them uttered a sound.
Finally, the results came out, and the results for Zhao Gang and his daughter were normal, indicating that they were not White Walkers.
This result brought a huge sigh of relief to the two patrolling soldiers.
Zhao Gang's strength in District B is undeniable; if he were to become a White Walker, it would be an absolute catastrophe.
