Chapter 1201 - Future Sister-in-law

Chapter 1201: Future Sister-in-law
While Lin Qiao was talking to the two kids in the room, Lin Kui and Qiu Lili were in Lin Jing’s place, talking to her. Their topic was also about those underground creatures.
Lin Kui sat on the couch and said,
We saw those multiple-eyed creatures the first. A dark smoke came out together with them and killed the surrounding plants and animals. The dead animals soon rotted. Those multiple-eyed creatures seemed to like to eat rotten corpses.

Both Qiu Lili and Lin Jing were looking at him with their shoulders shrinking. They didn’t even want to imagine that kind of a creature.

Alright, alright, stop talking about those multiple-eyed creatures… You described so detailedly that my head of full of those creatures now!
Qiu Lili suddenly raised a hand to put Lin Kui away, then turned her face and complained.
Lin Kui mildly smiled and said,
You two asked me first.


But, you didn’t need to give us so many details…
Qiu Lili turned back and pouted.
Lin Jing smiled and said to her,
Kui can be a little too serious some times.
She then said to Lin Kui,
Didn’t you say that you’ve seen some other creatures? What are they? Are they all monsters? Can they be mutated animals?

Lin Kui shook his head and said,
I don’t think they used to be any kind of animal we know. The current mutated animals don’t look so different from the way they used to. They are larger than before many times over and have attained superpowers, but their appearances remain recognizable. Oh, we’ve also met a six-footed, red, lion-faced big cat… It has a snake tail though.

On hearing him mention the big cat, Qiu Lili instantly had her red eyes glowing.
Is it the one that showed up near our base recently?
she said with great interest.

You saw it?
Lin Kui looked at her and asked with surprise.
Qiu Lili nodded and said,
Yeah. It’s fast. It’s much faster than I am… I heard from Chief that it followed you guys here.


Em. We were still in Xinjiang Province when we first met it. When it came out of the ground, all the plants near it turned into sand, but the animals in that area stayed unharmed… How weird…
Lin Kui nodded and said with confusion.

But, Chief didn’t kill it,
said Qiu Lili,
Didn’t it attack you guys? It has followed you guys to our base. Why didn’t Chief kill it?

She could still sense the vibe of that cat coming from a long distance away. It didn’t seem to threaten the safety of the base. But, she still felt that all the strange creatures were dangerous and hard the deal with. She felt that leaving them near the base might cause future problems; in fact, she felt the same about those underground gorillas.
Lin Kui shook his head,
I’m not sure. Chief must have a good reason to do that. The cat walked away by itself. We don’t know if it’ll ever come back.

Qiu Lili thought for a moment. Indeed, Lin Qiao might have a reason to do that.
I read the reports about those creatures before the meeting. But, I feel weird picturing them in my head, as I didn’t see them with my own eyes.


Have you seen any other underground creatures?
Lin Jing asked Lin Kui with curiosity.
Lin Kui looked at her as he nodded and said,
We also saw some huge worms. Each of them is as thick as a huge bucket, about one and a half meter wide. When we saw them, the lower parts of their bodies were still buried underground. The part above the ground was over ten meters long, so I don’t know exactly how long they are.


Oh, Chief and the others said those might be mutated earthworms. Can earthworms really grow so huge? They have teeth in their mouth… Ew, so disgusting! Do they have mucus on their skin or anything like that?

Lin Kui shook his head,
No mucus. Their skin is hard like stone. They like to bite their prey and spout saliva.

On hearing that, Qiu Lili gave a slight sigh,
Oh, thank God! It would be so disgusting if they were as slimy as earthworms!

Picturing huge, slimy earthworms, Qiu Lili felt extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Kui nodded in agreement,
That would be disgusting indeed!
Then, he looked at the time and stood up,
It’s quite late. We should be leaving. Sis, you can have an early rest. You need to work tomorrow, don’t you?

Lin Jing also looked at the time, then nodded and said,
Alright then.

She stood up as well and walked the two to the door. With a gentle smile, she looked at them while sighing on the inside. It would be perfect if Qiu Lili were a little older than she was now. The two of them didn’t look like a couple at all!
Qiu Lili, who had no idea that Lin Jing was already seeing her as her future sister-in-law, waved at her, then followed Lin Kui down the stairs.

Do you think those creatures will attack our base? They only showed up in remote areas, right?
Qiu Lili asked a question while walking.
Lin Kui thought for a moment,
They liked to feed on human beings, so they might follow the human scent to our base. But, I think we still have plenty of time to prepare ourselves. They won’t find the bases so soon. Also, they eat zombies too. There are a lot of zombies for them to eat outside. I think they won’t come after human beings anytime soon.

Large numbers of zombies existed in the world, but the numbers of those creatures were huge as well. Besides, they all had great appetites.
The higher-leveled ones among them might choose to give up on the second-best food and seek delicious human beings. So, the time left for people to prepare themselves might not be very long.

Aren’t all those zombies enough to feed them?
Qiu Lili walked to his side as she raised her head to look at him and asked.
Lin Kui slightly turned and gave her a glance as he responded,
If you were still a human being, would you like meat or flavorless steam buns?


Meat!
Qiu Lili answered the question without thinking,
Steam buns are just dry and dull…

Lin Kui smiled at her mildly,
So, the smarter, high-leveled ones won’t be satisfied with zombies. They’ll follow the human scent and traces, and slowly approach the human bases to hunt.

On hearing that, Qiu Lili dropped her head with her cheeks bulging,
Oh, when that happens, the human bases will be facing a huge disaster, right? Smart creatures like that won’t come alone.

They would bring armies.
