Chapter 34: The Little Apple
"Uncle, can you take me with you?"
What said this sentence was an immature children's voice, which sounded directly behind Lin Xi.
However, the expression on his face suddenly became gloomy and blue the moment he heard these words, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he had seen a ghost.
You must know that since devouring the flesh and blood of the giant dog, his five senses have also been greatly improved like his physical fitness, and if you take into account their original bases, his improvement in perception is even much higher than that of physical fitness.
After all, Giant Dog Meat only increased his physical strength from "originally relatively strong" to the point of "the top martial artist in history", and it has not yet reached the level of surpassing the limits of human beings.
In terms of strength, he can neither be unprecedented, nor unprecedented.
But the evolution of the senses is completely different.
Just his eyesight, he has made the leap from "short-sighted human" to "non-human", not to mention other senses such as hearing and smell, which are not human strengths, and at this time, under the catalysis of giant dog meat, the sharpness of his senses is not inferior to that of ordinary beasts!
But here's the problem!
These days he has been working hard to exercise his use of the senses, especially in the multi-sensory combination, and has made great progress, gradually from a visual-based animal, to a big step on the road to balanced perception, it can be said that now except for the ocelot, which is agile and extremely good at lurking and hunting, it is impossible for any other species to go behind him silently and not be detected.
He had that faith.
But now, just a childish and pink child's voice shattered his self-confidence!
If it wasn't broad daylight, he would even wonder if the kid who suddenly appeared behind him was a disembodied ghost!
"Uncle, how are you doing......"
The voice behind called again.
But what Lin Xi felt was not immaturity, but the fear that every cell was screaming and struggling.
At this moment, he intuitively felt that it was not a human being standing behind him, but a young god, it was a kind of intense pain that had been completely crushed at the level of life, thousands of times more terrible than the oppression when facing the giant earthworm, just in an instant, it made his limbs stiff and cold sweat!
"Don't call me uncle, call me big brother."
Lin Xi said a cold joke without looking back, and his other hand quietly clenched the hammer in his hand.
He thought about it, as long as the little kid behind him who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost showed the slightest desire to attack, then even if he died, he would bite off a piece of meat on the other party!
"But you're an uncle."
The innocent voice is still saying innocent things.
Lin Xi finally mustered up the courage and slowly turned his stiff body around.
To his surprise, behind his back, he didn't see the eerie little devil in his imagination, but at the door of the stairwell leading to the second floor not far away, a small head carved in pink jade poked out, biting his fingers, looking at him expectantly: "Uncle, take the little apple away, the food that my mother made for the little apple has been eaten, I am really hungry......"
Her voice was very small, weak and cute, but for some reason, in this semi-closed room, there seemed to be no loss, and it reached Lin Xi's ears directly, which is why he had the illusion that someone was standing directly behind him and talking.
The corners of Lin Xi's stiff mouth twitched, "You...... Called Little Apple? ”
The convulsive muscles tugged at the skin of the face, and a huge bead of sweat immediately ran down the cheek.
"yes."
The little guy who called himself "Little Apple" suddenly jumped out of the stairwell, "Daddy gave me the name Xiaoping, but then everyone called me Little Apple." ”
"Good name, good name......"
Lin Xi nodded like a chicken pecking rice, but what he was thinking about was the Divine Comedy that was popular all over the country.
He forced a smile and said against his will, "The little red apple is the cutest, as cute as you, and it suits you very well." ”
He never thought that he would have to be a big man in front of a little fart to be a little boy and slap his knees wildly, but the horror of facing the giant beast in the wilderness before still haunted him at this moment, reminding him from time to time that the "little apple" in front of him was probably a much more magnificent behemoth than the "apples" of the two people of Qiao Gang Leader and Professor Niu combined.
"Really?"
Lin Xi's compliment made Little Apple happy all of a sudden.
She happily walked out of the shadows and walked in front of Lin Xi.
Then Lin Xi saw her clearly for the first time:
From the point of view of appearance, she is no different from ordinary girls, about three or four years old, with a pink and tender face, just like her name Little Apple, all of them are red and round, fleshy, and her big black eyes give people a feeling of ice and snow smartness, if you really want to say something special, it is that Lin Xi noticed that her steps were particularly calm when she walked, not at all like ordinary children of this age, always giving people a feeling of stumbling, the little apple is always step by step, and the steps are extremely clear, Every step seems to be stepping on the best place, and the small body seems to contain a mountain, and the old man is stable to the extreme.
Lin Xi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "You want to come with me?" ”
"Yes, uncle."
Little Apple bit her finger and looked at him with blank eyes, "Mom and Dad are gone, and there is nothing to eat at home." ”
"Call me big brother."
The corners of Lin Xi's mouth twitched again, and suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked back at the two corpses at the gate, "Are they your parents?" ”
Although he knew that he had guessed the truth, he was still afraid that the word "yes" would pop out of the little apple's mouth the next moment, and the two zombies were killed by his own hands.
He didn't think that children at this age would be reasonable.
However, Apple's answer next made him overjoyed and completely unexpected.
The little guy glanced at the two corpses that had begun to decompose and stink, and there was a hint of disgust and resentment in his eyes.
After a long time, she said coldly, "No, Little Apple can feel it, there are two garbage stinky ghosts who killed Mom and Dad, and they want to pretend to be Mom and Dad to eat Little Apple, but unfortunately they never want to find Little Apple." ”
Lin Xi immediately realized that the "stinky ghost" in Little Apple's mouth should be the virus that turned her parents into zombies.
This kid's senses are really keen.
As soon as he sighed in his heart, he heard Little Apple ask again, "Uncle, did you kill these two stinky ghosts?" ”
Lin Xi's pupils immediately shrank.
He stared at the little apple for a long time before nodding cautiously, "Yes, it's me." ”
As he said this, he could feel the sweat in his palms, already soaking the handle of the hammer he was gripping, ready to respond to the little girl's violent blow.
But after hearing his words, Little Apple immediately showed a bright smile with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, uncle!" ”
As she spoke, she bowed to Lin Xi very youngly.
Lin Xi's tense nerves relaxed all of a sudden.
It wasn't until this moment that he was truly sure that this little girl really had no ill will towards him, and was not lying to him.
"You want me to go along?"
He thought for a moment and asked again.
Little Apple immediately nodded earnestly.
"Okay."
Lin Xi walked up to Little Apple, half-squatted down, and picked her up with the crook of his arm.
However, the moment he hugged the little girl, his face suddenly stiffened, and a trace of consternation flashed.
Because he could clearly feel that the real weight of this seemingly thin body in his arms was close to two hundred catties, which was much heavier than his shield and war knife! If it weren't for the strength he has now and is quite tenacious, I'm afraid that he will be crushed to the ground by this little guy!
"Good guys!"
The consternation on Lin Xi's face flashed.
He silently said in his heart, "It seems that I really picked up an amazing little guy this time." ”
There is no doubt that Little Apple should be like him, a superpower who only appeared after the cataclysm, but I don't know what her abilities are.
But no matter what, judging from this short period of contact, Lin Xi knew that her degree of evolution was only much stronger than herself.
Otherwise, it is not a simple matter to live for so long under the noses of two zombies with such a young body, but due to age, the little guy is temporarily inconspicuous.
"Little Apple, can I discuss something with you?"
Holding the little apple, Lin Xi tried his best to make his stiff smile look kinder.
"Okay, uncle, you can say it."
"That's it, don't call me uncle in the future, can you call me big brother? I'm not that old yet......"
"Oh, okay...... Uncle. ”
