Chapter 90 - Ninety-One: Monster
Chapter 90: Chapter Ninety-One: Monster
Su Jin went to the car and took out some water and food from her space, packed them into a backpack, and pretended to have taken them from the car before distributing them to everyone.
She saw the little boy peeking at them through the window and smiled, picking up a box of chocolates and walking over to hand it to him through the window.
“Thank you, sister, but I don’t want it,”
The little boy looked at the beautiful elder sister in front of him with some shyness.
Old Man Wu also walked to the window, and when he saw the chocolates in Su Jin’s hands, he was very surprised. They had never bought such chocolates for their own children, even before the apocalypse, let alone now. Was this young girl really so generous? However, his attitude was the same as the little boy’s; he did not intend to accept such a precious thing. After all, if these people really managed to kill that monster, they would be the great benefactors of their village.
“Old man, please take it. We still have more in our car, and if possible, we would like to rest at your house tonight and continue our journey in the morning,”
She greatly admired the old man and the little boy. In her previous life, she had seen too many greedy people; people who did not like to accept help from others were almost non-existent.
Old Man Wu saw that the beautiful young woman was indeed insistent, so he sighed and accepted it. If it weren’t for his grandson, he had firmly planned not to accept it—feeling that indulging his old bones in such luxury was a waste, and that it would be better to leave such treats for the younger people.
“Thank you, Sister,”
Seeing that his grandfather agreed, the little boy took the box of chocolates with both hands. The chocolates were packed in a brown iron box and felt heavy.
“Sister Xiao Jin! It’s coming!” Mao Qiqi shouted.
Upon hearing Qiqi’s shout, the family immediately entered a state of alert, a shift completely different from the relaxed atmosphere of drinking water and chatting before.
“Qiqi, which direction?” Lu Hao also asked. He knew that if the monster started moving, Qiqi could accurately determine its direction.
Mao Qiqi pointed toward the dried-up farmland on the right—it was from that direction that the orange dot was coming!
The little boy looked in amazement not far at the little girl standing next to the ink-colored car, her porcelain fair skin even more pronounced next to it, with a pair of jet-black eyes on her delicate little face. This group of people protected her well, always keeping her in the middle of the crowd.
And she calmly answered questions asked by the adults at that moment.
What did she just say was coming? Was it that monster? But how did she know?
Following a tremor of the ground, indeed, it was that monster! The little boy and Old Man Wu watched in horror as the creature came closer—it seemed to have grown even bigger!
At this moment, everyone was astonished at the sight of this so-called “monster”—was it a tiger? But wasn’t it way too big, even larger than their cars and nearly as tall as a building!
Only to hear a “meow~”
The creature let out a sound—a cat’s meow?
This wasn’t a tiger at all; it was clearly a cat!
“Has the kitty become a spirit?” Nie Qing looked at the cat dumbfounded, thinking how great it would be to ride it as a mount…
“Move aside, you old fool!” Lu Guanhai pulled Nie Qing, who seemed to be daydreaming, narrowly avoiding getting hit by a flying stone.
“Thanks, Old Lu, I got distracted there,” Nie Qing thanked him.
Liao Yifan was also stunned; with such a big cat, she had no idea where to begin.
“Dad, Auntie, Aunt, first wear down its stamina,” Su Jin said, looking at the mutant cat and quickly devising a strategy.
Su Xiangzhe and Lin Tianzhen nodded. The mutant cat was crouched on the ground, as if considering where to start its meal.
Suddenly, several water columns sprayed from below, upward at it; just as it was about to get angry, another wave of numbness struck. It was the effect of Lin Tianzhen and Huang Yunxiang’s Water Element, combined with Su Xiangzhe’s Thunder Element attacks.
Although the three’s Special Abilities had not yet leveled up, their collaboration yielded unexpectedly effective results.
The mutant cat no longer looked as formidable as it had at the start, its brown fur scorched black by electricity, yet its core remained unharmed!
“Yifan, Yin Chengtian, Shitou, you three distract it from front and back, attract its attention, and be safe!”
The cat was now wary and had developed a sense of fear.
Liao Yifan, worried about how to proceed, heard Su Jin telling her to distract the cat and knew just what to do!
Liao Yifan and the other two spread out around the mutant cat. As the cat tried to catch them, they agilely dodged. Just as it was growing impatient and about to rage, Liao Yifan on the left leaped up and hit it with all her might!
“Meow~”
An agonized scream resonated across the sky, and the village survivors climbed up to the rooftops to watch. Who was it that was actually fighting that monster and making it wail?
As expected of a Power Element Ability User, the effect was excellent. Su Jin silently gave Liao Yifan a thumbs-up in her mind.
“Yifan, keep wearing it down!” Su Jin looked for the next point of attack. This was a mutant animal, not a zombie, and injuring its other parts would still cause it pain.
The mutant cat was annoyed by the trio’s attacks, and although Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin did not have Special Abilities, they inflicted many wounds on it with their watermelon knives!
“Dad, can you and Lu Hao attack it with the Fire Element to the fullest extent?” Su Jin asked Lu Hao and Lu Guanhai.
