Chapter 168 Investigating the Situation in Kangcheng
Chapter 168 Investigating the Situation in Kangcheng
"This invisibility is not bad, but it's not very useful in the jungle. No wonder the bead that the fisherman gave me didn't have it..."
Watching the fisherman gradually disappear into the distance, Cangnian nodded to himself.
However, these little beads are a bit difficult for him to handle...
He is a tiger, and he doesn't have the dexterity of a human's hands; his claws can hardly grasp.
Moreover, the bead is too small; it can easily slip through the gaps between the claws.
At this moment, he realized even more how convenient it was to have the little sable with him.
Not only do they have flexible claws, but they can also store anything directly into their storage space.
After thinking for a moment, Cangnian opened its mouth, extended its thin, wide tongue, rolled the ten beads on its claws into its mouth, and then deftly pressed them under its tongue.
Although it feels a little like there's something in my body, I have no choice but to leave it like this so as not to affect my activities.
The moment Cang Nian touched the bead, he instinctively felt that he could use it with just a thought. Just as the fisherman had said, it was a foolproof operation.
By pressing the bead under his tongue and adjusting its position, Cangnian manipulated the bead, unleashing the law.
Then, a transparent membrane of light spread from Cangnian's mouth, completely enveloping him.
From another person's perspective, Cangnian has disappeared and blended into the surrounding environment.
Looking at its own claws, they were almost invisible to the naked eye, with only a slight imperfection in their interaction with the surrounding environment when moving.
However, this invisibility is actually enough to fool ordinary people, and even the vision of ordinary evolved beings, and is similar to the invisibility to the toads he killed before.
Seeing this, Cang Nian felt much relieved and chased after the fisherman.
Instead of aimlessly investigating, why not follow the fisherman and see what he's been through?
Cang Nian remembers that the fishing guy could find an entire police station criminal investigation team!
……
Before long, Cangnian returned to the vicinity of the fisherman.
However, this time, he was in the shadows.
Meanwhile, the fisherman had arrived outside the ruins of Kangcheng, in front of what appeared to be a newly built wall.
"Who?!"
At this moment, the man on the wall shouted loudly, looked warily in the direction from which the fisherman and Pipi had come, and without thinking, shot an arrow with his crossbow!
Pa~!
Pipi reacted quickly, and as the crossbow bolt flew, he struck out with lightning speed, precisely intercepting it!
Pipi's lightning is not just simple electricity; it also carries considerable kinetic energy.
These days of exploration have allowed Pipi to master the skill of using lightning to block ranged attacks.
However, the flight speed of long-range attacks cannot be too fast, otherwise Pipi will not be able to see the target, making interception too difficult.
"An evolved beast is attacking! Quickly call for reinforcements from the evolved beings!"
The people on the city wall were startled when they saw the lightning in the night and instinctively shouted.
"Hey! Bro! Bro! We're on the same side! This is my pet!"
Seeing that the wall had been guarded, the fisherman quickly raised his hand and shouted.
He never expected that after finally returning home, he would be attacked.
"Pets...it seems none of the evolved pets in Kangcheng can generate electricity..."
It's already dark down there, why are you still wandering around outside?
Don't you know you need to get back to the city before sunset?
Hearing someone speaking, the people on the wall shone their spotlights on the fisherman who had approached, and after seeing his appearance, they asked in confusion.
"This... I don't know. I was outside the city before, and I only found my way back today."
The fisherman should say that.
"What? We were all outside the city before. Which 'before' are you referring to? Three days ago or five days ago?"
At this moment, another guard was stunned and asked incredulously.
"Uh... if you count the days, it should be more than twenty days. It was the day of the earthquake. I drove out fishing and only just got back now."
The fisherman answered truthfully.
"Are you bragging? Is that a place where people can stay? Even the most powerful evolved humans in Kangcheng probably couldn't manage it, right?"
"More than twenty days? You're kidding me!"
"Exactly! Even if you're an evolved being, how could you possibly survive in the wild for so long?"
Neither of the guards believed the fisherman's words.
"Believe it or not, just let me in, okay?"
Pipi is very obedient and would never hurt anyone.
Seeing the two guards arguing over such a trivial matter, the fisherman, eager to get home, patiently spoke up.
If this had happened before, he would have already started cursing.
Although with his current strength, he could easily sneak over the wall or force his way in, he felt that it was better to follow human rules when back on human territory.
Woof!
Hearing the fisherman's words, Pipi jumped up with its front paw and barked in agreement.
Pipi is very well-behaved and won't hurt anyone!
"What's going on? Wasn't there an enemy attack?"
At that moment, a deep voice rang out from the wall.
A head popped out between the two guards.
"Captain Wang! What brings you here?"
Upon seeing this, one of the guards immediately spoke respectfully.
"You're shouting for enemy attack and calling for reinforcements, but I'm nearby. If I don't come, who will?"
The man rolled his eyes.
"Hey~! Isn't this Brother Wang? It's me! Yichen!"
With his excellent eyesight, he could make out the appearance of the person in the moonlight, and the fisherman waved happily.
"So the fisherman's real name is Yichen..."
At this moment, Cang Nian, who was crouching in hiding to the side, muttered to himself.
"Yi Chen? Which Yi Chen? Wait! You're not dead?!"
Brother Wang was puzzled for two seconds, then was utterly astonished, his eyes practically bulging out!
"I'm lucky. Both Pipi and I awakened superpowers. We stumbled and fell for almost a month before finally coming back!"
Brother Wang, how is Uncle Qin? How are my parents?
Fisherman Yichen patted his chest, then asked with great trepidation.
This Brother Wang was one of Uncle Qin's former subordinates in the police station, and Yi Chen was quite familiar with him.
"Everything's fine! It's just that everyone thought you were dead, and your mother cries every day."
Now that you're back alive, your mom must be overjoyed!
"Hey you, go open the door!"
Brother Wang said happily, while directing the guards to open the door.
Before long, the fisherman and Pipi were welcomed inside the walled city, while Cangnian also entered Kangcheng through the open gate.
"Brother Wang, where are my parents? Take me there quickly!"
Yi Chen said impatiently.
"Don't worry, your parents are just as lucky as you are."
They were playing badminton at home in an open space when the earthquake struck, and nothing happened to them.
They are currently staying at the police station.
"Pipi's evolution is quite impressive! It used to be so tiny, and now it's so big."
Brother Wang patted the fisherman on the shoulder and said with a smile.
