Chapter 110: Chapter One Hundred and Ten: Troop of Monkeys
 

Liao Yifan: So cute!

Mao Qiqi: Little monkey!

A group of people: …

These monkeys weren’t very large, and they weren’t zombified, so they seemed to pose no danger.

“Could they be mutant monkeys?” Lu Hao asked.

“Not sure, but it looks like they have no intention of attacking us,” Su Jin said as she looked around.

Indeed, the short-tailed monkeys showed no desire to attack them. Seeing the people didn’t attack them, they boldly jumped into the middle, scratching their ears and heads as if looking for something.

On Lin Tianzhen’s bag across her body, several monkeys had set their sights. One monkey, failing to snatch the small bag away, simply pulled the zipper open. There were two red bean buns left over from breakfast inside, which it stuffed into its mouth along with the tissue paper they were wrapped in.

Lin Tianzhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; these monkeys were too adorable. She couldn’t bring herself to shoo them away and could only watch as they rifled through her bag.

Could these short-tailed monkeys be… hungry?

Seeing a few monkeys sticking their heads in and out of the car door, even attempting to climb inside, Su Jin was about to stop them when she felt something moving in her back pocket!

“Lu Hao…” Su Jin froze, could it be an insect?

She was utterly helpless when it came to insects and now, thinking an insect had crawled into her pocket, she didn’t dare to move.

“Is there something on my… behind?” Su Jin nervously clutched Lu Hao’s hand.

Lu Hao knew what Su Jin was afraid of, but there was nothing behind her. However, he noticed that her back pocket had indeed been pulled open, and there seemed to be something moving inside…

Lu Hao reached in and grabbed a furry… paw?

“Squeak!”

Lu Hao wouldn’t let go of the furry paw and even heard its owner’s squeak, but he couldn’t see a thing!

Su Jin turned around and saw Lu Hao grasping something invisible, and there was a floating piece of chocolate nearby—her chocolate from her pocket!

“Squeak squeak”

The paw tried to break free, but Lu Hao didn’t release his grip.

Su Jin thought for a moment and took out a banana from her space, squatting next to the floating chocolate.

“Would you like to eat this? Can I see you please?” Su Jin said, maintaining a smile.

Then the miraculous happened: Lu Hao finally saw what he was holding—an arm of a little monkey…

The one that had been rummaging through Su Jin’s pocket was this little monkey, which was now reaching with its other hand for the banana in Su Jin’s hand.

“My goodness, isn’t this just too cute?” Liao Yifan exclaimed, squatting down and watching the little monkey on the ground.

This must have been a member of the short-tailed monkey troop, just smaller in size. Lu Hao felt he could lift it with just one hand. Its fur was different from the others, leaning towards golden-yellow and somewhat fluffy, and its eyes were round; it might even be a baby monkey.

But what was that earlier? How could it be invisible?

“It must have mutated and awakened the special ability of invisibility,” Su Jin analyzed. It was the first time she’d ever seen such an ability, especially in a little monkey.

“This is just too adorable. May I hold you?” Liao Yifan couldn’t resist wanting to touch the seemingly cute little monkey.

The little monkey peeling a banana disdainfully pushed away Liao Yifan’s hand with one hand and climbed onto Su Jin’s shoulder, huffing and puffing.

Su Jin: …

Liao Yifan: That hurts…

Guo Yang: I really want to become a monkey…

“Su Jin, this little guy seems to really like you,” Lin Xiuyuan had witnessed what just happened and couldn’t believe that even monkeys now possessed such high-level Special Abilities.

“It’s quite smart, it knows I have food,” Su Jin said with a smile.

Looking around at the Short-tailed Monkeys scampering everywhere and the woods, Su Xiangzhe suggested to Su Jin, “Xiao Jin, we should hurry and find our way out of this forest, the journey is the priority.”

Su Jin nodded her head and then took out some fruits and cookies from her Space and placed them under a tree. The group of Short-tailed Monkeys that had been jumping on and off the car were immediately attracted over, and all ran to the bottom of the tree to fight for the food.

“Aren’t you going?” Su Jin picked up the little monkey on her shoulder, so light, no wonder it didn’t feel heavy on her shoulder. She put the little monkey down and gestured for it to grab some food.

“Chi-chi~” The little monkey didn’t go over but pointed in a direction with its hand.

“What does it mean?” Su Jin asked, puzzled.

“Sister Xiao Jin, could it be that it wants to guide us?” Mao Qiqi guessed.

“That magical?” Lu Guanhai and others also found it novel, wondering if the monkey could actually understand human speech.

“What’s so surprising about that? All beings are spiritual. This little monkey might well be a spirit monkey,” Nie Qing just felt this monkey was different from the others, not on the same level, so to speak.

“Why don’t we give it a try? See if what Qiqi guessed is right?” Mao Zhihang suggested since they didn’t know which direction to go in, might as well see what the little monkey wanted to do.

With everyone’s agreement, the little monkey sat in the front of the car with a bold and confident air.

The car turned a corner, and with a “chi~,” the little monkey pointed its hand toward the front left direction. Mao Zhihang, who was driving, and Su Jin glanced at each other, both able to see the laughter in each other’s eyes—apparently, this little monkey was indeed guiding them.

Everyone in the car felt the scene was incredibly magical, but considering the current Apocalypse, a little monkey turned sage wasn’t that unusual anymore.

Under the little monkey’s guidance, the group had traveled for less than half an hour before they saw the highway in the distance. A few Zombies were still wandering on the road, but this was already a pleasant surprise for everyone. Just now, when they were circling the woods, there were several times they had wondered if the little monkey wasn’t guiding them at all, but now it was confirmed—the little monkey was definitely guiding them.

“Thank you, you’re amazing,” Su Jin placed the little monkey on her lap, stroking its fur, which was soft and not prickly at all.

“Chi-chi-chi-chi,” the little monkey seemed to understand and responded a few times.

“Sister Xiao Jin, it’s so cute, can we…”

Mao Qiqi suddenly stopped—there was danger!

“What’s wrong, Qiqi?” Lin Tianzhen seemed to notice her daughter’s discomfort and asked with confusion.

“Sister Xiao Jin! There are many Mutant Animals near us!” Her mini-map showed them!

“Attention to the vehicles behind, there are many Mutant Animals nearby,” Su Jin quickly conveyed the message to the two cars behind.

“Received”

“Received!”

Drivers Lin Cheng and Xue Wanyi were also pretty frustrated; they could see the highway already, but now there were Mutant Animals again—what could it be this time?
