TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 14
by VolareXie YunChuan went through the whole thing again from the beginning, and solemnly asked, “Are you saying that they wake up uniformly at a certain point in time, and then go dormant uniformly at another point?”
After Xie YunChuan asked this, Lu Yunzhou recalled for a moment, “That’s indeed the case.”
Xie YunChuan pondered, “There must be something influencing them, and this influence is crucial.”
Lu Yunzhou also fell into recollection, “What is it?”
Luo Shuyou blurted out without thinking, “What else could it be, temperature!”
Lu Yunzhou suddenly understood, “Right! It’s highly likely to be temperature.”
Thinking carefully, he had left very early in the morning, and by the time those things woke up, it should have been exactly when the sun was rising. In the evening, he waited until it was dark and the sun had completely set before returning.
“But even though there’s sunlight, it’s not warm at all?”
Luo Shuyou: “Just because you can’t feel the temperature change doesn’t mean the temperature isn’t really changing.”
Xie YunChuan: “Did those things you were darting around inside not attack you either?”
Lu Yunzhou: “I was being very careful, okay? Did you really think I was jumping around inside as I pleased?”
“I’ve discovered that they’re sensitive to hearing, but their eyesight is not good. I don’t know how far they can see specifically, but as long as you don’t appear within their close-range field of vision and don’t make any noise, they won’t attack you.”
Luo Shuyou: “In that case, those things are also easy to avoid and not scary at all.”
Xie YunChuan: “It’s not that simple. They seem to be evolving, and we can’t predict what the influencing factors of their evolution are, how fast they’re evolving, or even what their end state will be. We can’t be careless.”
Lu Yunzhou agreed and nodded, “Right, I’ve also noticed that. Damn it, this ghostly thing keeps changing. Don’t bet your life on our limited knowledge and guesses.”
“Oh.” Luo Shuyou was a little disappointed.
Xie YunChuan patted Luo Shuyou’s back to comfort him, “It’s okay, at least today we know some of their current characteristics. It’s not completely useless. We’ll verify it tomorrow.”
It was another sunny day. The snow still showed no signs of melting. Lu Yunzhou and Luo Shuyou were guarding in front of the parking garage early in the morning, paying attention to the movements inside at any time. Luo Shuyou was even more tense, ready to rush in to rescue Xie YunChuan at any moment.
Lu Yunzhou breathed a sigh, rubbed his frozen hands, and jumped in place, hoping to bring some warmth back to his numb feet.
Looking at his nervous appearance, Luo Shuyou was speechless, “Why are you so nervous? I stayed inside alone for a whole day yesterday and nothing happened. Don’t worry, your Xie YunChuan is more capable than me. He’ll be fine.”
“Besides, aren’t there two of us guarding here?”
“Don’t be on standby all the time. If something really happens, run back quickly and don’t delay me from saving people. I told you not to come, but you wouldn’t listen.”
“You’ve been standing still all this time. Aren’t you cold?”
Luo Shuyou suddenly grabbed Lu Yunzhou, who was still shaking, “Don’t move, they’re awake.”
Lu Yunzhou froze instantly and carefully poked his head out to look. Sure enough, they were slowly gathering towards the entrance. He looked up and saw that the sun was shining directly here.
He took off his gloves and carefully felt the sunlight, but still couldn’t feel a trace of warmth. Could temperature changes that are difficult for the human body to capture really affect their activity?
He nudged Luo Shuyou’s shoulder and whispered, “Do you feel any warming?”
Luo Shuyou: “No.”
“Have you noticed that their activity level is higher today than yesterday?” Luo Shuyou said with a solemn expression.
Lu Yunzhou observed carefully for a long time again, “Is it?”
He couldn’t tell. Also, wasn’t he the one who was trapped inside yesterday? How does Luo Shuyou seem to know more about their situation yesterday than he does?
Without any mishaps, after the sun went down in the evening, those things began to gather inside, and Xie YunChuan came out silently.
At night, by the fire, Lu Yunzhou was grimacing as he treated his frostbitten wounds. His hands, feet, and body, almost no part of his skin was intact. “When will this damn weather get better? Damn it, I’m about to turn into ice and shatter from the inside out.”
Looking at the two intact people next to him, especially Luo Shuyou, whose skin was white and clean, so tender that water could be pinched out, not to mention frostbite, he couldn’t even see a red mark.
Looking at Xie YunChuan again, although not as good as Luo Shuyou, he couldn’t see any obvious scars either, much better than Lu Yunzhou.
Lu Yunzhou: “…”
He looked at Xie YunChuan and said, “I’m just curious, Luo Shuyou doesn’t count, since he’s always wrapped up tightly by you, but what’s going on with you? We have the same outfit, a similar physique, how come you’re unscathed and I’m covered in injuries? It’s too unfair!”
Xie YunChuan: “Blame yourself for being useless.”
Although he said that, looking at Lu Yunzhou’s bleeding and festering frostbite, Xie YunChuan was also a little puzzled.
Every time he went out, he would also be frozen numb, and sometimes it would ache and itch, but it seemed that after sleeping every night, he would be resurrected with full health, feeling relaxed all over. He really didn’t have any severe frostbite like Lu Yunzhou.
Not to mention Luo Shuyou, whose body was also white and clean. He had never heard him cry out in pain or itchiness. When he hugged him to sleep at night, he didn’t see him scratching either. Were those protections really that effective?
Luo Shuyou silently curled up next to Xie YunChuan. He didn’t dare to speak. He didn’t dare to say that he, not to mention frostbite, had never felt cold, not even cold. At this time, silence was the best comfort.
Lu Yunzhou: “Hurry up and tell me, did you guys hide some magical frostbite medicine from me behind my back? Confess honestly.”
Although this possibility was unlikely, it was too unreasonable. There was no reason for him to be so much worse than Xie YunChuan.
Xie YunChuan threw a box of biscuits at him, “Here, eat more, it’ll help you recover faster and heal your brain.”
Lu Yunzhou felt wronged, “I’ve decided, I’m going to wrap myself up tightly tomorrow too.”
Xie YunChuan: “Wrap up as much as you want if you’re not afraid of death.”
“What are you talking about? We’re just going to search for things, so it’ll just be slower.”
“Prepare your weapons, we’re going to raid their nest tomorrow.” Xie YunChuan calmly dropped a bombshell, as if he was saying they were going to a feast tomorrow.
“What?”
“What?”
Lu Yunzhou and Luo Shuyou exclaimed in unison, and Luo Shuyou stopped watching the show.
Luo Shuyou: “Is it what I think it is?”
Lu Yunzhou: “Do you mean we’re going to wipe them all out in the underground parking garage tomorrow?”
Xie YunChuan: “What are you so surprised about? If we don’t wipe them out, are we going to wait for them to wipe us out?”
Lu Yunzhou was wondering where the problem was. Did Xie YunChuan not notify him when he evolved into a Superman? As a human being, how could he be so advanced?
“Do you think it’s like poking a hornet’s nest? You can just wipe them out whenever you want.”
