The roasted bastard tastes even better than roasted mushrooms, plus the crystal core dipped in sauce, and the soon-to-expire children's milk that Bazai once again searched the whole city for.
Now we have food and drink.
Yu An was groggily woken up, and Xiao Jiu fed him food: "Big brother, this is the food that Ba Zai and I found. It's delicious, and we're already full."
Yu An opened his eyes groggily, and only after hearing that both cubs had eaten did he go to look at the food.
Upon seeing this, he froze: "Roasted baby eight?"
Bazai quickly clarified, "No, no, this is a different kind of octopus! Big brother, you can eat as much as you want!"
Yu An still wanted to confirm it again.
Afraid of being recognized, Ba Zai simply snatched a skewer and performed a scene of "eating myself" on the spot.
He only took a few small bites, but Yu An felt somewhat relieved.
He couldn't believe his baby could be so twisted as to actually eat itself.
Xiao Jiu gave all the food she had prepared to Yu An. The crystal core was coated with a thick layer of sauce, making it impossible to recognize its original appearance.
Yu An had never eaten these before, so naturally she couldn't tell what they were.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yu An's pale complexion visibly improved, and his spirits returned; he was no longer as listless as before.
After regaining his composure, Yu An indeed began questioning Qiu Qiu about the matter.
Ba Zai honestly confessed everything.
Upon hearing this, Yu An remained silent for a long time.
Two more days passed, and the dark room began to become vulnerable, with many things that had been hidden before coming to light.
The shriveled octopus finally got water.
The octopus, soaking in the water, excitedly slapped the surface with its tiny tentacles. It shouted to the mushroom on the shore, "That bastard who dared to lock me up, he definitely can't hold on any longer! Hahaha, I'll kill him when I get out!"
Xiao Jiu doesn't like soaking in water. He sat next to me washing his feet and casually asked Ba Zai, "Do you know who did this? They didn't kill you, so it's obvious they were just messing with you on purpose."
Bazai calmly pondered for a few minutes.
A few minutes later, he angrily splashed water, water all over Xiao Jiu's face: "I've been in so many fights outside, who knows who's coming for revenge this time!"
Xiao Jiu, her face smeared with water, stared at him coldly: "You've been out here for so many years, how come you haven't been killed yet?"
The little cub waved its tiny tentacles triumphantly and said proudly, "Because nobody can take me down!"
The two little ones couldn't be alone with their big brother for long. On the third day, the little dark room that had been used to torment the little devils was finally broken open.
Yu An stood at the hotel entrance, wearing pajamas and slippers.
Heavy rain poured down relentlessly from above.
Before Yu An could react, he was drenched and looked like a disheveled chicken.
He rushed inside the hotel to shelter from the rain, and on the hotel's revolving door, he saw bullet marks that hadn't been there before.
Xiao Jiu had been with her older brother for a long time, so the moment her older brother came out, she obediently turned back into a little mushroom and nestled in her older brother's pocket.
The octopus isn't used to it yet.
He tried several times to escape from his older brother's pocket and transform back into a majestic giant octopus, but his older brother suppressed him each time.
"Little brat, be good."
Yu An pressed the shrunken octopus back into its original shape. He had examined the octopus's body and found many cuts and slashes.
If this brat is let out again, he'll inevitably cause trouble sooner or later.
The hotel not only had marks on the door, but also in the rooms where I had stayed before.
This place appears to have been attacked.
Yu An returned to the suite where he had stayed before he disappeared; the door was locked.
"Big brother, Xiao Liu is missing too."
The door was useless to the aberration; it could be forcibly opened. The little mushroom didn't try to force it open; instead, it extended its mycelium and opened the door from the inside.
The door opened, and the little butterfly that was originally in the room had flown away to who knows where.
Yu An looked around the room and breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, Xie Chiyuan didn't leave, and he didn't take anything he brought with him."
Even his milk was still neatly placed on the coffee table.
Yu An walked over and picked up a bottle of milk. He sucked on the straw while inspecting the area where Xie Chiyuan lived.
Xie Chiyuan's aura still lingered in the air, a faint scent that was difficult to notice.
But Yu An could smell it.
The tension he had been holding in for so long suddenly eased at this moment.
"Let's not wander off."
Not wanting to cause trouble, Yu An sat on the single sofa next to Xie Chiyuan's bed, folded the clothes on the sofa, and then snuggled in.
“Little one, we’ll wait for them to come back here.”
Yu An nestled in the small sofa waiting for someone, while outside in the car, the magician was making sarcastic comments about Xie Chiyuan: "Hey Xie, you really look like a widow about to be widowed."
Chapter 59
As soon as the magician finished speaking, Xie Chiyuan's gaze fell upon him.
He calmly asked the magician, "Have you already chosen your coffin? Why are you so eager to move in?"
The magician's clown mask twitched; he wanted to say something more, but was interrupted.
"Brother Xie, the location of this monster combination should be hidden inside the bathhouse. This bathhouse is very large and has no roof, but there are many obstacles that can block it."
Pei Si analyzed the location of the combined monsters, drawing Xie Chiyuan's attention back to the group.
A few days ago.
On the day of their transaction, Yu An disappeared, and Xie Chiyuan went out to look for Yu An.
With Xie Chiyuan gone, the hotel welcomed an uninvited guest.
Pei Si considered himself to be fairly knowledgeable, but when he saw the uninvited guest, he still got goosebumps all over.
The other party was huge, with countless heads and limbs pieced together to form an extremely terrifying image.
The topmost head was that of a burly man with a face full of knife wounds. He couldn't speak, only uttering heavy hissing sounds.
The Red Bird people came to transport the nutritional paste, but after seeing this monster, they didn't know whether to continue transporting it.
Pei Si reacted quickly; he immediately abandoned the nutritional paste and told everyone to run away.
If he hadn't retreated quickly, several more would probably have died. Abnormal monsters should naturally be left to those capable of handling them.
Pei Si contacted Xie Chiyuan, who then passed the buck to Chi Niao.
Did I bring the nutritional paste? Yes, I brought it.
Have you finished counting? Yes, we've finished.
Now that the transaction has come to this point, the rest is naturally none of our business. Anyway, the nutritional paste is now yours, and if you lose it, you'll have to find it yourselves.
Despite saying that, Pei Si still sent a plea for help to Xie Chiyuan: "Brother Xie, we can't beat the Red Bird people."
The Red Bird organization isn't entirely composed of mutants; they also include some human criminals. Even the most notorious human executioners, when faced with monsters, can only become the ones waiting to be executed.
The magician is capable, but he only protects his own people.
Xie Chiyuan returned with a livid face after failing to find Yu An.
The large monster had its sights set on the nutritional paste; it wanted to steal it.
Even with the Red Bird organization and Xie Chiyuan, they couldn't gain any advantage over this big guy, who could continuously absorb new corpses and turn them into his own.
"Is the explosives ready?" Xie Chiyuan turned his head and asked Pei Si.
Pei Si nodded.
They brought in powerful explosives, and Xie Chiyuan decided to stuff the explosives into the connection between the monster's head and head, trying to kill the monster using methods for killing zombies.
The magician's spatial reconstruction will be coordinated with Xie Chiyuan's activities.
When Xie Chiyuan goes to plant the explosives, the magician will trap the monster in a fire-filled space he creates. The combination of fire and explosives should eventually kill the monster.
Ten minutes or so passed.
Yin Feng, who had gotten out of the car to investigate, rushed back. He was a little out of breath, but he was still trying his best to speak clearly as he reported to everyone: "The monster is in the back of the bathhouse. There is a hospital behind the bathhouse. If it wants to escape, it will just demolish the bathhouse and go into the hospital."
There were very few zombies in Z City, and they didn't know who had cleaned it up before. Now it seems it was this monster that could continuously absorb corpses.
The monster had no intention of fighting them. After taking the nutrient paste, he turned and left.
He would only stop killing if he was provoked by the Red Bird's men. Otherwise, he would constantly change his hiding places.
Xie Chiyuan couldn't understand his motives, but such a huge hidden danger could not be left to humanity without a doubt.
Fortunately, Red Bird was there to help, which saved him some effort.
"Yin Feng, you and Pei Si will retreat together later, the farther the better."
"yes."
Xie Chiyuan and the magician reconfirmed the attack plan. The explosives were too powerful to detonate directly here. He would enter with the monster when the magician opened the spatial portal.
Then, they placed the explosives.
The magician will release him within the two-second window of the explosive detonation, leaving the monster trapped in the fire in the space.
After the two finished discussing, Xie Chiyuan called Pei Si to the car.
He got straight to the point: "The magician will cooperate with me to blow up that monster, but there's a 90% chance he'll deliberately delay opening the space a few seconds, so I'll get blown up too."
Pei Si also considered this possibility.
He frowned uneasily and asked Xie Chiyuan, "Is there any way to get him to cooperate obediently and not cause any trouble?"
"no way."
