C233 Bear Infestation
At this moment, Xiao Xiangya was standing at the entrance of the cave, looking around. When she saw Wang Yi return, she quickly took two steps forward and jumped into Wang Yi's arms.
"Why did you take so long to come back?"
Xiao Xiangya whispered and buried her face in Wang Yi's arms, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Wang Yi held Xiao Xiangya's slender waist and looked at Zhang Fei and the others beside her.
"That... "Bro Yi, I realized that my stomach is still hurting. How about I …"
Zhang Fei's eyes rolled and the corner of his mouth twitched. He had a pained expression on his face.
Lee Hu and Yang Ze did the same, one covering his stomach and the other looking up at the sky, obviously intending to act out another show.
"Forget it, it's not early anymore. Stop pretending."
Wang Yi looked at the few pretentious people, shrugged and said helplessly.
It was almost midnight, and it was indeed not early in the morning. Coupled with the interruption earlier, Wang Yi really did not have any thoughts in that regard.
They knew what Wang Yi meant by his words, so they smiled and walked into the cave.
"Screech ~ ~" "Screech ~ ~"
Just when Yang Ze pushed aside the bush that was placed in the cave, a few soft sounds suddenly came from the bush, as if it was disturbing Yang Ze's rest.
"What the hell!"
Yang Ze jumped two steps back and quickly pulled out the pistol he carried with him from his back. He kicked with his heel and before the gun could even aim at the bush, it was already loaded. His movements were extremely cool.
Wang Yi became alert. He turned around quickly while hugging Xiao Xiangya and moved her behind him.
Zhang Fei and Lee Hu reacted a little slower, but they immediately took out their weapons and aimed at the bush.
"Screech ~ ~" "Screech ~ ~"
However, that sound did not stop. Just as they moved, that childish wailing sound rang out again.
Wang Yi was puzzled, this sound was strange, it was not produced by a zombie, nor was it by a Mutated Beast. But other than these two points, there was probably nothing else in the wilderness, moreover, it was so close to Wang Yi and the others, yet it was not discovered.
The sound stopped after a while. Yang Ze took off the cloth from the flashlight and shone it towards the bush. The bush was shaking as if something was controlling it from below.
"Yang Ze, are you going to clear the bushes?"
Wang Yi protected Xiao Xiangya with his hands and whispered to Yang Ze, who was at the front.
Yang Ze nodded and slowly bent down, walking towards the bush with small steps.
The thing in the bush seemed to know that Yang Ze had come over, and the jitter suddenly increased.
"Hua la …" Crash …
Yang Ze gradually moved forward and stopped about a meter away from the bush. This distance was considered safe for Yang Ze, so if there was any accident, Yang Ze could quickly dodge.
Lee Hu and Zhang Fei, who were at the back, aimed their guns at the bushes. If anything dangerous came out, they would immediately open fire.
Yang Ze gritted his teeth, reached out his hand to grab the bush, and then jumped back. Then, due to his body's inertia, he directly threw the bush away.
"Screech ~ ~" "Ouch!"
The cry suddenly grew louder, with a trace of fear and helplessness.
"Ya, what a cute puppy!"
Before the few of them could react, Xiao Xiangya rushed out from behind Wang Yi.
"Xiangya!"
Wang Yi subconsciously wanted to grab Xiao Xiangya, but his attention was focused on the bush. He didn't expect Xiao Xiangya to directly run out.
Lee Hu and Zhang Fei had already loaded their guns and were waiting to see the situation before firing. But who knew that Xiao Xiangya would suddenly appear and block them.
Xiao Xiangya was tall and had long legs, and was also an Adept. Her speed was very fast, and Wang Yi wasn't paying attention to her, so he wasn't able to grab hold of her.
Xiao Xiangya scuttled to the undergrowth in a few steps. Under Wang Yi and the others' shocked cries, she directly carried that thing in her arms.
"Look, Bro Yi, what a cute puppy."
Xiao Xiangya immediately turned around and showed the furry thing in her arms to Wang Yi and the others.
Even though Xiao Xiangya said it was a puppy, Wang Yi was still worried. After all, the world now was completely different from before.
Wang Yi rushed forward and snatched the "puppy" from Xiao Xiangya's embrace. He pinched her neck with his other hand and carefully observed it.
It was fine if he didn't look at it carefully, but when he did, it gave Wang Yi a shock.
This so-called puppy had oval skin, dark fur, round and thick ears, especially small eyes, and a circle of V-shaped white fur at the bottom of its neck. Its pointed mouth kept opening, and it wanted to bark out twice, but was helpless as Wang Yi grabbed onto its neck tightly.
"How is this a dog, this is clearly a bear cub!"
Yang Ze, who was at the side, also came over and shouted while pointing at Xiong Pi, who was struggling in the hands of Wang Yi.
Wang Yi nodded as he looked at the face full of despair.
"This brat should be the same bear that was eaten by the evolved ant. I don't know the reason why he ran all the way to the cave."
When Zhang Fei heard it was a bear cub, his eyes immediately lit up with a strange light. He casually threw the rifle to Lee Hu and pulled out the dagger at his waist.
"Bro Yi, it seems like we have a midnight snack tonight!"
Zhang Fei walked up and took the bear cub from Wang Yi.
This little bear was quite understanding of human nature. Seeing Zhang Fei's ferocious expression, it immediately struggled and tried to break away from Wang Yi's control.
"Ao! Ao! Ao!"
An extremely miserable cry came out of the bear's mouth. Wang Yi could even see a hint of desire to survive in the bear's dark eyes.
Both humans and animals would behave this way when they felt that death was approaching. Even if it could not speak, it could use its actions to prove that it did not want to die.
"Forget it. How much meat does this little bear have? Just let it go."
Wang Yi didn't know why, but when he saw the pleading eyes of this rascal, he suddenly felt a wave of softness in his heart.
"Uh, alright then, I'll let it go now!"
Zhang Fei was also interested just now, but when he heard that rascal's howl, his heart became a little chatty.
Putting the dagger back on his waist, Zhang Fei took the struggling cub and put it on the ground, letting it leave on its own.
However, whether it was because it couldn't tell the direction or because of some unknown reason, the little brat actually tumbled to the front of Xiao Xiangya.2
"Screech ~ ~" "Screech ~ ~"
The bear cub's front paws rested on Xiao Xiangya's shoes. It raised its round head and howled at Xiao Xiangya, as if it was a child begging for a hug from its mother.
Xiao Xiangya was momentarily stunned. She lowered her head and stared at the wailing bear cub. Something seemed to have emerged from the depths of her heart.
