1143 Being Cast Out of the Cave (1/2)
Yun Meng spent a while observing those creatures from the roof. She found them hiding in nearby woods and buildings after running out of the cave, then shrinking in the corners, trembling and staying motionless.
Yun Meng scratched her scalp, feeling very confused. She looked at those creatures and murmured to herself, ”What's wrong with them? How come they seem to have been cast out of the cave? Am I missing something?”
The big one was lazily lying by the edge of the woods in the shadow, not going anywhere. What on earth was in the cave that made them run out to hide in the middle of the day?
After a short observation, Yun Meng moved backward and then made a whistle. An old man flashed to her side and complained, ”Can you please change your way of summoning me next time? Please don't whistle every time. Am I a dog?”
Yun Meng gave him a glare and said, ”I didn't say anything. You said that yourself.”
Old Guo reached out and gave her a slap on her head.
”Ouch! You bloody old man!” Suffering that slap, Yun Meng instantly bared her teeth toward the old man and yelled at him.
”As a kid, you have no idea that you should respect the elders,” Old Guo ignored her ferocious face. The little one hadn't released her level-seven zombie vibe anyway. Then, he calmly turned to the cave entrance and sniffed around, then asked Yun Meng, ”I thought they only take action at night. What are they doing outside in the middle of the day?”
Yun Meng adjusted her expression as she shrugged and spread her hands, ”I don't know what happened. They've been out for a while. They're hiding in the shadows near the entrance, not going anywhere else. I think something underground cast them out.”
Old Guo looked around, then roughly counted the underground gorillas on the outside. ”There are… They've all come out, haven't they? What do you think cast them out?”
Yun Meng shrugged again and said, ”That's only my guess. I only sensed these gorillas' scent from the cave and no other scents.
Old Guo thought for a moment and said, ”How long do you think they'll stay outside?”
Yun Meng rolled her eyes and responded, ”How am I supposed to know?”
”Let's first see what'll happen then send the news back to the base. Chief isn't in the base,” Old Guo stood there with a hunched back and said. His gown was still clean, and his gray hair were brushed neatly to the back of his head. If he didn't rub Yun Meng's hair with his hand, he'd look like a serious old man!
Clap! Yun Meng was beyond tolerance. She slapped the zombie old man's hand off her head, then complained, ”Can you please stop rubbing my hair? Is that fun? Are you an old man? I think you're more like a kid! You're even more childish than Four!”
Old Guo tittered and then gave a sigh, ”I'm an old man. That's exactly why I like to rub your hair. You kids are like my grandchildren…”
…
In All Beings Base, Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng still had a worried frown as no clue about Lin Wenwen was found. Wu Chengyue was cooking in Lin Qiao's kitchen while the two kids were playing in the living room.
Teng crawled off the couch, then crawled back onto the couch from the carpet, and then crawled to the other side; he just couldn't stop moving. Unlike him, Ling Ling was quietly sitting in an armchair, drawing on her drawing board. From time to time, she raised her head to give Teng a glance. After confirming that the boy wasn't hurting himself, she lowered her head and kept drawing.
”Daddy, is the food ready? I'm hungry!” After the twentieth time the boy crawled onto the couch from the carpet, he finally stopped and yelled at the kitchen.
”It's already ready. Just a second,” Wu Chengyue's voice came out of the kitchen.
Hearing Teng's yelling, Wu Yueling raised her head again to look at the boy. She thought for a second, then dropped the drawing board and ran to the fridge to take out a few strawberries that she brought to the boy.
