Chapter 206: Chapter 206: The Monkey Who Knows Iron Cloth Shirt
Although it was already morning, the red moon in the sky still existed as an indistinct shadow, and the red mist had completely disappeared. The zombies outside seed like they were on stimulants, listless after the drug effects wore off.
Huang Biao looked out the window and analyzed: "Don’t you think these zombies seem to have returned to how they looked on the first day we arrived, mostly the sa?"
Su Changxing put down the empty lunch box he had finished and nodded: "It seems like a seven-day cycle. From this perspective, the second Blood Moon would be on the fourteenth day, but this should also count as the last chance."
Huang Biao’s eyes focused as he said: "You an that by then the transformation will start?"
Su Changxing nodded thoughtfully: "Approximately, it might even be earlier. By then, it could truly be the mont of despair."
As ti passes, the oppressive feeling of impending transformation will grow stronger, especially for those who know the truth; they will feel it intensely, while those relatively ignorant will find it much easier.
After eating, Su Changxing returned to his room, lit so incense, and took a nap. When he woke up, it was already afternoon, and he felt refreshed, with the fatigue from last night’s battle completely gone.
The Blood Moon and the hairy-faced Giant in the sky had also disappeared, leaving a bright blue sky. The outside world returned to its original state.
Su Changxing turned on his phone and noticed that Shen Jinxuan still hadn’t replied, but the profile picture hadn’t greyed out, indicating she was still alive.
He walked out of the room and noticed that the bodies in the settlent were nearly clean, with sand used to cover the bloodstains.
With plenty of food in the settlent and the zombies on the streets becoming sparse due to the Blood Moon, the settlent was in a state of dormancy for the day.
Su Changxing ca to the edge of the forest and waved his hand. A figure rushed out at great Speed; it was Xiaobo.
Its body’s injuries were still severe, with flesh turned outwards, continuously oozing dark red blood, soaking its fur.
Su Changxing examined its body, took out a healing ointnt, and said:
"Your injuries are still severe. Your Healing Ability seems weak. I have so healing ointnt here, use it and see if it helps."
Xiaobo took the healing ointnt with its furry palm and said word by word: "My body is not a big problem, it’ll recover after a while."
Su Changxing thought for a mont and asked: "How are your clan’s casualties?"
Xiaobo pounded its chest with its palm, spilling a lot of blood, and said: "Dead, seventy percent, but the rest are strong monkeys."
Su Changxing couldn’t help but say: "You’d better take it easy on yourself before you heal. I think I know why your injuries are healing so slowly."
Xiaobo sensed Su Changxing’s strange gaze and replied: "This will make my body stronger."
Such an extre training thod······
Su Changxing raised his eyebrows and curiously asked: "Where did you learn this······ way to beco stronger?"
Xiaobo wore a look of reminiscence and said: "I saw it on TV, a long ti ago. You humans are really sothing. Despite your weak physique, you can co up with such refined ways to grow strong."
Su Changxing remained silent for a second or two and then lightly said: "You weren’t watching so martial arts drama, were you?"
Xiaobo nodded solemnly, saying: "Yes, it was a martial arts drama. This should be a kind of human secret technique called Iron Cloth Shirt, where you strengthen by constantly pounding your body."
So that’s how you beca so tough, not by nature, but through training.
Su Changxing recalled Xiaobo being slapped to the ground by a Screar and appearing unscathed; could it really be the Iron Cloth Shirt?
Even a monkey can learn martial arts from watching TV, truly remarkable.
Su Changxing pondered and said: "Hmm, but I think you should practice after healing. With this thod, an average monkey would have been ruined by now."
Xiaobo lowered its head to apply the ointnt to the wound, showing a delighted expression, and said: "This stuff is very useful, it seems to make my body stronger."
Saying so, it slapped its chest again.
This is a monkey that loves self-harming.
Su Changxing was speechless, rembering that so intelligent people have strange habits, and apparently monkeys are no exception, he said:
"Later tonight, have so monkeys spread out and keep watch around. Notify
if you see outsiders."
Xiaobo appeared thoughtful and said: "You an those powerful humans active at night."
It seems Xiaobo also knows about the Hunters.
Su Changxing nodded and replied: "Yes, them. Cover as wide an area as possible, and notify
or our people imdiately if anything happens."
These small-sized monkeys can climb and are hard to notice, especially at night, making them the ideal sentinels.
Xiaobo waved its hand, indicating no problem, then turned and ran deeper into the forest, punching itself on the back during the run, causing a nearly healed wound to split open again.
"······"
Su Changxing felt there was sothing wrong with this monkey; it seed to have a weak sense of pain and instead found pleasure from it.
Well, it might actually be practicing Iron Cloth Shirt.
On the way back, Su Changxing saw a few children wandering in the settlent, led by Zhu Xin Xue, acting like a boss.
"Zhu Xin Xue! What are you planning to do?"
Su Changxing shouted from behind, making them stop at once.
A frail-looking boy whispered: "Zhu Xin Xue, isn’t that your master? What should we do now?"
Zhu Xin Xue stiffened but showed a smile and said: "Haha, Master, nothing much, we just ca downstairs for a walk. It’s a bit stuffy up there."
Su Changxing approached and saw these children holding weapons, seemingly ready for action, and could roughly guess their intentions, he said irritably:
"So, tell , what were you planning to do outside?"
Among them were so children he had seen before, who entered with Tan Xiuning.
Most of these children were around ten years old, staying in relatively safe places during the Blood Moon, so apart from a few unlucky ones, most of them survived.
The settlent took in children, which was a result of their discussions, considering the future and the social structure.
Children can ease human relationships. For a small group, children might be dispensable, but for a large settlent, they are necessary.
So things are subtle but crucial.
Zhu Xin Xue, realizing it was impossible to hide, confessed: "Well, I was just planning to kill a few zombies nearby, and they insisted on following . There was nothing I could do."
