"Woo...... You bad-hearted man! Last night I was still glorious, and now-"
"Stop, if you want to change the script, okay? I'm tired of watching it. As soon as Lu Keke put on that complaining appearance, he knew that her drama addiction had been committed again, but now he didn't have the leisure to accompany her to play here.
At this moment, through the glass window of the store, he suddenly noticed that several half-apes had appeared around the corner not far ahead, and it seemed that they should have come up along the escalator around the corner. Although the half-ape people are slow to visit the mall, even so, it is estimated that it will not be long before they come here.
Is it a strategic shift or a wait-and-see change? If you slip out, you may be discovered; If you stay here, you will inevitably be discovered. And once discovered, the escape process is bound to attract more half-apes. But whether you go or stay, it's not a way to blindly dodge like this after all, and why do you have to run? Is it because they are really that scary? Or is it out of fear? Wen Renchu was not afraid of this, so he decided to take this opportunity to verify some of the ideas in his heart. Assuming that the truth was as he thought, then they would not have had to be so careful to hide in Tibet.
"Yikes!"
"What's wrong?" As soon as he came back to his senses, he heard Lu Keke's soft cry at the beginning of his life, and hurriedly asked in a low voice.
When he squatted down and trotted over to take a look, he found that there were two people hiding under the counter, and one of them was ...... It seems to be a little familiar. However, he didn't remember who the person was after thinking for a long time, but the other party recognized him first.
"Wen Renchu?" The other party asked tentatively.
"You are?" Wen Renchu smiled politely.
"Hey! Even the old classmates can't recognize me, I'm Xia Diyu! ”
Xia Diyu...... To hell? Lu Keke couldn't help but silently read again in his heart, are this guy's parents Lord Yama? How could anyone give their children such a cursed name, or was it just another emotionless family tragedy?
At the same time, the name quickly found the face that Wen Ren remembered at the beginning. Coincidentally, the well-dressed man in front of him turned out to be his high school classmate, but the relationship was mediocre back then, and after many years, if they hadn't met by chance today, it is estimated that they would never have crossed paths again in their lives.
Friends, for nowadays, are almost nothing in life. They're always slipping away before you know it, especially when you need it most. But there's nothing to complain about, after all, even your partner won't necessarily accompany you through this life. If you think about it, maybe loneliness is the partner who will protect you for the longest time in this life......
"Ahh You've changed a lot. Wen Ren Chu laughed.
"Haha...... It's a lot of weight, but you haven't changed much over the years. Oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is my daughter-in-law Zhao Qi. ”
"Well, let's talk about it later, now is not the time to catch up." Wen Renchu nodded politely to the woman next to him, and hurriedly ended the greeting. Because he is really not good at and does not like this kind of hypocritical communication, he bets that even if they exchange contact information today, the probability of contacting each other after today is basically zero. So, why bother? Aren't you tired?
"I'm going to see what's going on outside." After speaking, Wen Renchu returned to his original position. Looking out the window again, the half-ape was only four or five shops away from them.
Will the original plan go ahead? Now suddenly there are two more people, which is equivalent to two more uncertain factors, if the truth is not as you think, then the situation will be more difficult to control. But at this point, there seems to be no room for manoeuvre, so let's leave it at that, it's really not good...... You can only rely on yourself to attract firepower.
Tiptoeing to the counter again, Wen Renchu solemnly whispered to a few people: "Trouble is coming, you try to hide as much as possible, and it's best to hide separately." If they are discovered, remember not to move, I will distract them if something happens. ”
Of course, these words were actually mainly for those two people, and Lu Keke was not too worried. However, looking at the appearance of Xia Diyu and the others, they are obviously very nervous and scared, hoping that something will not go wrong.
Soon, several people chose a place. Xia Diyu and his wife are still hiding in their original location, while Wen Renchu's two siblings are located on both sides of the store. Interestingly, though, the two groups reacted very differently. The former cowered under the counter, like two frightened little animals; Looking at the latter, it is not so much that they are hiding, but that they just found a random place to sit down.
Time passed minute by minute, and it didn't take long for the "customer" to finally come to the door.
Just in case, Wenren chose the location closest to the door, because being the first to be discovered means that they can verify their ideas at the first time, so as to make a judgment, which is directly related to what kind of situation they will face next, so it is particularly important.
Things turned out just as he expected, and soon his presence caught the attention of a half-ape. However, Wen Renchu did not remain motionless as he told the others, but chose to naturally take the initiative to approach the half-ape in front of him.
The sudden move made the half-ape man subconsciously retreat, and then stared at Wen Ren for a long time, as if to make sure that the other party had no malicious intentions, and then cautiously approached again.
Just as the half-ape man looked at him carefully, it was the first time that Wen Renchu had observed these mutated humans so closely. There was no difference between them and what he had seen in the Taoist temple before, except that he had always wondered if they were atavistic due to the influence of the reincarnation sacrifice, how could their fangs and claws be explained? Could it be a genetic mutation? Or is this what our ancestors were meant to be?
However, this is not a question that Wen Renchu needs to think about now, what he is concerned about now is whether these half-apes are actively aggressive. Of course, the answer is already obvious. Although they are sensitive and irritable, they should all be instinctive, as long as they do not take the initiative to attack them, do not provoke them, do not have hostility towards them, they are friendly and no longer dangerous.
