Endless Throne - Chapter 33

“That’s all for today. Everyone rest and recuperate. Have a good rest, and we’ll have a meeting tomorrow to formulate future development plans…”

“I’ll personally notify everyone at three o’clock tomorrow afternoon.”

Lin Fugui perhaps also knew he was annoying. He casually chose a direction, laughed heartily, and flew away.

“How did he become completely abnormal?” Zhou Yuan was very curious about Lin Fugui’s current state.

This couldn’t even be considered human anymore, right?

Could it be that when aberrants evolve to high levels, their physical form undergoes changes?

“Lin Fugui should have already broken through. He belongs to the King-level aberrants, more powerful than high-level aberrants.” Xiahou Yun knew quite a bit of classified information. He had researched some of it himself, and through exchanges with other cities, he had also obtained a lot of important information.

“Lord Ergou is almost there too.”

“Woof!” Ergou proudly raised his head. It wanted to tell the others not to fear the bat monster.

“Cluck cluck!” The old hen crawled out from the pile of corpses, still dragging along a disheveled child.

Whenever the brothers were in dire straits, it would find the right moment to play dead, never holding the brothers back. This was undoubtedly a successful battle strategy, and the whole family had miraculously survived intact.

When the old hen looked at Ergou, its eyes were glowing.

How could there be such a handsome and dashing dog?

That… glossy and smooth… fur, why was it a bit bald?

Then, the old hen smiled crookedly. Wasn’t that even better?

It was bald, and I was bald too – weren’t we a match made in heaven?

This was destiny’s guidance.

Since the Zhou family couldn’t tolerate me and only had hearts for Wang Xiulan and the seven children, don’t blame me for seeking greener pastures!

“What’s wrong with it? Did it get its brain hammered stupid?” Zhou Yuan felt that the old hen’s crooked smile was very demonic, somewhat similar to Lord Ergou.

“Perhaps.” Lin Yebai also felt the old hen wasn’t quite right.

“Can everyone still move? Let’s return to the shelter.” Coach Wang discovered that everyone had ignored his name, so he felt relieved.

When he was just rescued, he was too happy and let it slip out.

Fortunately, no one noticed. Wonderful.

“Xiulan-chan, my tail is a bit numb, I can’t walk.”

“Xiulan, I’m still okay. How about you?” Xiahou Yun was not only strong but also had a very hard body. Apart from his neck not being very tight, everything else was quite good.

Coach Wang’s face suddenly changed, turning green then blue, black then white, red then green – quite colorful.

They… they…

How could this be?

“Xiulan, why aren’t you speaking?” Zhou Yuan couldn’t see Coach Wang’s expression, but he was so happy!

“You heard wrong. My name is Xiunan – xiu as in repairing cars, nan as in south.” Coach Wang tried to resurrect the situation.

“Yes, that’s what I was calling. Brother Wang, you didn’t think I was saying xiu as in beautiful and lan as in orchid, did you?”

“Ah ha ha ha ha…” Coach Wang showed an awkward but polite smile.

If Zhou Yuan wasn’t currently unable to see and looking so pitiful, he really wanted to punch him in the face twice.

“Woof!” Ergou threw Lin Yebai onto its back again and urged the others to hurry up.

In the dark night, there weren’t just wandering aberrants, but also stranger things hidden that couldn’t be described.

Even Ergou instinctively felt afraid.

The nearby cars were all broken. Xiahou Yun searched for a long time before finding a pedal-powered tricycle, putting Coach Wang, Zhou Yuan, and the child on it.

The old hen was a bit heavy. With it added, the cart couldn’t move.

The old hen looked dejected. Ergou directly picked it up in its mouth, deciding to bring it along.

A mass of pitch-black clouds flew toward this direction across the sky, getting closer and closer, with a terrifying oppressive feeling.

Ergou’s fur stood on end. Lin Yebai softly comforted:

“I know them.”

A large flock of crows landed. They had grown several times larger than when last encountered. The leading golden-eyed crow was still normal crow-sized, with glossy black feathers, mysterious and dangerous, and a pair of deep golden pupils with increasing majesty.

“There are still quite a few on the road.”

“I need blood beads.” Lin Yebai patted the sack at his waist, hinting to the golden-eyed crow.

“…” The golden-eyed crow’s eyes showed humanlike horror.

[Class Representative]: Humans are just greedy [contemplative face]

“A moderate amount will do, more would be better.” Lin Yebai’s expression was kind.

“Caw!” The golden-eyed crow nodded, indicating it understood.

Lin Yebai left the sack behind – there were plenty of identical sacks at the shelter anyway.

“Caw—” The golden-eyed crow grabbed the edge of the sack with its claws, wanting to say something but stopping.

Ergou’s figure had already disappeared in the wind. Not far away, a tricycle creaked and followed behind, a bountiful harvest.

The handsome young man with fox ears easily pedaled the tricycle, his fox tail swaying from time to time – a lasting and memorable scene.

Ordinary and plain was the truth; having the whole family together was the essence.

They had gone out in the morning and returned in the evening. The shelter was unprecedentedly quiet. That group of residents had briefly stayed here and hurriedly left, perhaps never to return.

The nearby electrical circuits had been repaired, so lighting and charging weren’t problems. As long as there were electronic devices, they could play previously downloaded movies and TV shows.

After bathing, several people looked refreshed. Ignoring the bandages, they were like a group of like-minded young people gathering at home – relaxed, natural, and harmonious.

“Xiulan-chan, do you think hair growth tonic would work for me?” Zhou Yuan had a blindfold over his eyes, his fingers running through his hair, caressing those little snakes.

When he faced mortal danger, little snakes would detach and shoot out rapidly, burrowing into opponents’ eyes or ears to provide him counterattack time.

For this reason, Zhou Yuan’s beautiful hair had decreased by a quarter.

This was serious hair loss.

If it happened a few more times, he suspected he would become bald.

“I think hair growth tonic probably won’t work. Don’t call me Xiulan. The correct pronunciation is Xiunan. You can also call me Old Wang.”

“Okay, Xiulan-chan.” Zhou Yuan obediently responded.

“…” Coach Wang’s fists hardened, gritting his teeth.

“Mommy, your name sounds very nice. I like it.”

“I like it too.”

The little spiders chattered, expressing approval.

“I think so too.” Xiahou Yun expressed agreement from the side.

Coach Wang and the seven little spiders had extremely high research value. Xiahou Yun had already made up his mind to never raise a blade against them. Not only because of Lin Yebai, but Xiahou Yun himself also felt that this kind of noisy life seemed quite nice.

“What should we watch tonight? How about ‘The Ring’?” Xiahou Yun had searched the shelter for electronic products and found a newly discovered computer with some classic horror movies stored on it.

“Anything is fine since I can’t see anyway.”

“Is ‘The Ring’ good?” a little spider asked curiously.

“It’s good.” Coach Wang petted the little spider, eager to watch something stimulating.

After escaping death, he even dared to try this kind of horror movie.

Lin Yebai knew nothing about it. He sat to one side circulating his qi, recovering his internal energy. He was a bit curious about the movie they mentioned. If they started playing it, he would watch along.

“Then it’s ‘The Ring’ – unanimous approval.” Xiahou Yun applauded.

Horror sound effects were always the seasoning for horror films. Tonight, sudden rain arrived, with violent wind and rain outside the window, hail falling and breaking countless windows, the sound of shattering glass never stopping.

Lin Yebai watched for a while before realizing this movie was about ghosts and spirits – quite interesting.

When he saw the female ghost crawling out of the TV, he suddenly felt a bit cold.

As if something outside the window was staring at him.

Lin Yebai turned his head and met a pair of cold, evil eyes.
