Giant Worm World

Chapter 13

After Lao Jiu came back, he didn't know if he was afraid of Andrew's attitude, but for the first time, he didn't continue to pester Chu Chen and the others, but stayed with the little boy he brought back almost all the time.What's even more puzzling is that Lao Jiu's perennially stern expression, when facing the little boy, actually carried a bit of fatherly gentleness.

One morning, Lao Jiu and Lao Liu smoked together in the monitoring room, chatting while watching the messy pictures on the screen.The little boy still had a blank expression on his face, sitting alone on a chair in the corner, sipping the dry bread in his hand.

"Xiaobao, just order it. Uncle will find something delicious for you when we go out next time." Lao Jiu didn't say a word to Lao Liu before turning his head to look at the boy.

Xiao Bao nodded dully with a listless look.On the contrary, the sixth child was even more curious: "I said brother, why do you feel like a different person when you come back this time? Let's not talk about not following those young people, how dare you go out again?"

Lao Jiu chuckled: "I've said it all, Xiao Bao is my nephew, I have to protect him well."

"Don't be a fucking liar," the sixth child said with disbelief on his face, "Isn't your father a brother? Where's your nephew? Also, if you dare to go out, don't you... know how to deal with giant insects? "

"Oh, when it's time to let you know, I will let you know." Lao Jiu kept it secret.

Not only was Lao Liu curious, Qi Mofeng was also full of doubts.Lao Jiu is a bit of a scheming person, but the city is really not that good, and the four characters "I have a secret" are almost written on that triumphant face.And Lao Jiu's attitude towards the boy is not so much caring, but rather... flattering?

At this time, Qi Mofeng, Xu Yang and other five people were all in the deepest room, performing in front of Andrew the program that hadn't changed a bit these days.

Although Qi Mofeng was wandering in the sky in his heart, the movements of his hands remained the same.Xu Yang was quite embarrassed, but this happened over and over again, and no matter how thin-skinned he was, it became thicker.He found that human beings are really adaptable creatures, and he seems to have gotten used to living like this, and Qi Mofeng's touch.

Chu Chen and Li Ming were doing the same behavior beside them, but their degree of compatibility was pitifully low, and their appreciation was much lower than that of Qi Mofeng's group.Especially Chu Chen's expression, he was once optimistic, but now there is no trace of an expression related to optimism on his face.

But they are still lucky. It may be that Andrew is not willing to swallow all the delicacies at once. At this stage, they are still safe, and Andrew did not personally carry a knife into battle.Relatively speaking, Hao Xingxing was sad, and Andrew knew him well, and he almost never got off him.Fortunately, Hao Xingxing's physical fitness is still good, and Andrew did heal his arm.

Zhao Zihao, on the other hand, fell out of favor.

Andrew didn't know how many times he let out a full gasp on Hao Xingxing's body, and leaned gently on the sofa chair.Hao Xingxing turned around numbly and skillfully, and helped Andrew clean up with his mouth.

Andrew smiled and stroked Hao Xingxing's short hair, which was a bit sticky: "It's so cute... It's a pity that your military uniform is so rotten that you can't wear it, otherwise I really want to feel that feeling... Hehehe, look how good you are now, The monsters outside can't get in, and we can eat, drink, and have fun here, which is great."

There was no emotion in Hao Xingxing's eyes, even though the resentment in his heart was on the verge of exploding at this time.He helped Andrew clean up without any resistance, as if it was the only thing he had to do.

A faint aroma floated in the air, and it was time to eat.Of course, to Xu Yang and the others, eating is nothing more than eating a piece of dry bread, and eating with a bowl is too far away from them.But today seems to be their lucky day.

Andrew stood up slowly: "Okay, let's all go out to eat. Lao Jiu brought back a lot of food last time, and today is my grandmother's birthday, so everyone is allowed to eat."

Xu Yang stopped what he was doing, and looked at Qi Mofeng in surprise, as if asking: Did I hear wrong?This foreign devil actually let them eat hot rice?

Of course Qi Mofeng would not answer him, and when he withdrew his hand, he rubbed against Xu Yang's waist without leaving any traces, and before Xu Yang asked him, he said, "Let's go."

The doubts in Xu Yang's mouth were immediately dispelled by the food that was about to be eaten. How many days have they not had a mouthful of hot food?It was the time when they were growing up, and they could only eat a few pieces of bread a day, which was better than nothing, and the hunger tortured them all the time.Fortunately, they were young, if Lao Jiu and the others ate like this every day, they would have been sallow and emaciated long ago.

Andrew should have released the news early, and the group of people gathered in a relatively large room.Bundles of banknotes stacked on the table were contemptuously thrown to the ground, and some even became stools for some people's buttocks.People are either sitting in cash boxes, or sitting on piles of banknotes, surrounding the table.Xu Yang and the others sat in the corner with winking eyes.

Everyone seems to be in a good mood. Although compared with Xu Yang and the others, these strong men can eat enough every day, but they don't have their share of hot meals and dishes, so they look very excited at the moment.Closing his eyes and listening to their chatting and laughing, Xu Yang felt as if he was eating a large cafeteria in his father's factory when he was a child. Unfortunately, these people are much more terrifying than those kind uncles and aunts.

Although everyone can eat, after all, the pot is limited, and at most seven or eight people can eat at a time, but Xu Yang and the others are still waiting excitedly, although it may be two hours before their turn...

The smell of the food drew out Xu Yang's gluttons, and he kept swallowing his saliva.Looking at the others, although Chu Chen and Li Ming seemed anxious, they were not as impatient as Xu Yang.It was as if Qi Mofeng hadn't smelled it, and he was still sitting there coldly, staring at the not-so-clean countertop, not knowing what he was thinking.

In order not to embarrass himself so much, Xu Yang forced himself not to look at those steaming meals.After looking around, Xu Yang found that Lao Jiu was sitting not far from them.Immediately, Xu Yang's appetite decreased a lot.

The child was naturally beside Lao Jiu, and Lao Jiu looked at him very closely, as if he was guarding some treasure.

Lao Jiu was proudly flirting with Lao Liu beside him, when his face suddenly changed: "Fuck, why did my stomach suddenly hurt...Grandma, anyway, I don't know what year it is. Go to the bathroom."

After finishing speaking, Lao Jiu stood up, and just as he took a step, he suddenly thought of something, and hesitantly looked at Xiao Bao who was in a daze.

Seeing this, the sixth child couldn't help laughing and cursing: "This can't be your son, is it so tight? You go to your toilet, can we still eat him?"

Lao Jiu also smiled, cursed back, and ran out in a hurry after saying "Help me watch him".

After Lao Jiu left, Lao Liu, who had nothing to do, wanted to tease this little kid whom Lao Jiu regarded as the apple of his eye. What's more, Lao Jiu looked at him so seriously every day, so Lao Liu had been curious for a long time.

"Hey, what's your relationship with Lao Jiu?" Lao Liu patted Xiaobao and said.

Xu Yang and the others sat relatively close and heard the conversation between them.In fact, Xu Yang was also curious, why would Lao Jiu, such a beast-level figure, suddenly show kindness and rescue a child?Xu Yang immediately pricked up his ears and listened.But Xu Yang looked at the little boy's face and couldn't help but fell into deep thought again. This kid seemed familiar.

Xiaobao lowered his head and said nothing as if he hadn't heard what the sixth child said.

Lao Liu was not annoyed, he couldn't get along with such a young child, he continued to smile and said: "Lao Jiu, the one who brought you back...why did he save you?"

Xiao Bao raised his head slowly, his voice was very weak, but Xu Yang still heard: "He didn't save me, I saved him."

Of course the sixth child didn't believe it, he laughed and said, "Little guy, are you out of your mind? You just entered elementary school, and you can save an adult? Hahaha..."

Xu Yang frowned. The little boy looked frightened, but his eyes and tone of voice couldn't be called frightened at all, could he?And the more he looked at him, the more familiar he looked, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen this little boy.

At this time, Chu Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly patted Xu Yang lightly: "Brother Xu, this kid...isn't it the kid who was with his mother when we escaped to the library?"

library?Xu Yang frowned and thought for a while, what happened more than ten days ago, in retrospect, it was as long as the last century.

"Yeah... what's going on?" Xu Yang remembered after Chu Chen reminded him.

Qi Mofeng interjected: "Have you two met him?"

Xu Yang nodded with a complicated expression: "Chu Chen and I went to a library when we escaped, and he was one of the survivors at that time, but... when we escaped from the library, he and his mother had already He's dead... I saw with my own eyes that his mother was cut into several pieces by the mantis, and his crying stopped suddenly, how could he be alive..."

Qi Mofeng thought for a while and said, "You didn't see him being killed, did you?"

Xu Yang said: "That's not true, but even if he didn't die, how did he survive? Those insects cannibalize people. At that time, there were many insects chasing us, so it was impossible for him to survive."

After hearing this, Qi Mofeng fell into deep thought. If it was really what Xu Yang said, then the child would not have survived, but in fact he did survive, and he appeared in front of them alive.If what the little boy said was not false, he really saved Lao Jiu?

Xiaobao continued to speak slowly: "At that time he was surrounded by bugs, I don't know why I can..."

"Little Treasure!" A hasty shout came from the door, interrupting Xiao Treasure's words.

Lao Jiu was afraid that something might happen, so he rushed back in a hurry. As expected, he heard Xiaobao talking at the door, and hurriedly stopped Xiaobao.

Lao Jiu hurriedly ran to Xiao Bao's side and sat down, and Lao Liu teased him: "Lao Jiu, your son is quite interesting, you actually said that he saved you, haha..."

Lao Jiu laughed twice: "Little boy, can you still take his words seriously?"

Although I think intellectually that what the little boy said cannot be true, because it would be too unbelievable.But looking at Lao Jiuqiang's smiling expression, it seemed that he was really hiding something.

Sitting next to Andrew were Hao Xingxing and Zhao Zihao, hugging left and right very unhappy.He picked up a small silver fork and forked a piece of fried meat that was so precious at this moment. Just as he was about to eat it, there was a sudden shaking sound from above his head.

Putting down the fork with an uneasy expression, Andrew said coldly, "Go to the monitoring room to see what's going on?"

The lower-status people who were closer to the door rushed out immediately after hearing the news, and went straight to the monitoring room.Andrew frowned, tapping his fingers lightly on the countertop.Everyone's emotions sank along with Andrew. Didn't the dragonfly leave, why did it come back?

Not long after, the hurried footsteps came back again, and a panicked voice sounded: "It's not good, boss, go and have a look!"

Andrew shot up angrily: "What's the use of me going to see?"

But having said that, as the boss, he still has to go and see at this time.Andrew left Hao Xingxing and Zhao Zihao behind, and walked towards the monitoring room with low pressure on his body.Without his reminding, his subordinates left behind him one by one.

On the screen of the monitoring room, the dragonflies who had been away for a few days made a comeback, and this time they seemed to have IQ, no longer wandering around like last time, but crawled into the devastated building towards the Crawl in the same direction.What was even more frightening was that this time there were not only dragonflies, but also many centipedes, each of which was more than three meters long. They mixed with the dragonflies, and instead of biting each other, they traveled together harmoniously.

Everyone in the monitoring room was silent, staring at the monitor with different expressions.

Basically all the people rushed into the monitoring room. Xu Yang looked at the meat that was still smelling not far away, and managed to control himself not to rush over.Now it was obvious that another bug was approaching, and Andrew was absolutely frightened and furious, so he didn't want to make trouble for himself just because of his appetite.

Qi Mofeng stood up: "Go and have a look, at least to understand what happened."

Xu Yang naturally agreed, and their small group basically followed Qi Mofeng's lead.Close to the monitoring room, a dense group of people could no longer squeeze in.Of course they dare not squeeze.However, they could still see part of the scene upstairs through the relatively high monitors in the monitoring room.

Xu Yang couldn't help breathing quickly: "Oh my god...there are still centipedes, how many kinds of bugs are there...and they don't even kill each other."

Chu Chen said coldly: "It doesn't matter, no matter how many bugs there are."

Andrew and the others also had ugly faces one by one. Although their current situation seemed to be safe, no one wanted this kind of monster to wander around their heads.

"Be close..." Andrew's order was halfway through when he suddenly looked at one of the pictures.Not just Andrew, everyone gasped.

It was a camera at the corner of the second floor. Due to the impact of the dragonflies last time, it had turned to the corner, and only a small piece of light could be seen.However, it was gently turned back by a hand.The next moment, a slightly distorted face appeared on the screen due to being too close.

"This... who is this person..." Andrew's voice trembled, and anyone would be surprised to see a safe and sound human being among a group of giant worms.

Upstairs, Zhang Bowen turned the camera, returned it to the original angle, and then slowly backed away. The centipede under his feet was also in the mirror.Undoubtedly, the crowd underground will only be more shocked.

Zhang Bowen smiled, and threw aside a human head in his hand, and immediately a passing dragonfly rushed over and swallowed it in one gulp.Zhang Bowen sneered, the false king who was able to command dragonflies a few minutes ago is now regarded as food by his own people.

"I came here to find the false king of the mantis. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet the false king of the dragonfly who was just crowned. It seems that this trip is really worthwhile." Zhang Bowen said the shocking words lightly, "Then, please Come out and fight, Mantis Pseudo-King."

Everyone in the underground monitoring room was dumb, and no one knew what the man on the screen meant, but at least they could tell that the man was not kind.
