monster he just wants to be a good guy

"Everyone, you're hitting my head."

Zheng Qingmiao walked in the front of the whole team and was responsible for leading the way.

His colorful bird feather hangs on one ear, and a somewhat familiar pearl earring hangs on the other ear.

"This earring...is Lu Man's?" Zhang Qingyan asked him in a low voice when everyone stopped to eat and refresh at noon.

Zheng Qingmiao nodded, hesitated to speak, and finally took a bite of the cake to swallow the matter back to her stomach.

In my mind, a mechanical voice with no emotional fluctuations sounded: "Report, 50 meters away from ten o'clock, there is biological activity behind the bushes."

Zheng Qingmiao's eyes sharpened, and she stood up suddenly, holding his big knife in her hand, and walked in that direction on tiptoe, Zhang Qingyan also got up silently, and followed behind him.

There was a rustling sound from behind the bushes. Zheng Qingmiao stretched out a gleaming knife and brushed aside the bushes, only to see a rabbit emerging from the ground, staring at the visitor with those glowing red eyes, kicking its legs. ran away.Zheng Qingmiao let out a breath and sat back down again.

"Heat source mode continues to activate."

Xiao Ai finally found an opportunity and began to show her sense of existence.

Last night Lu Man suddenly came to him, took off the earrings and handed them to him.

"Isn't this your earring? This is..." Zheng Qingmiao held up the white pearl earring in confusion.

Zheng Qingmiao followed Lu Man's instructions and dripped her own blood on the "Pearl", when a third voice beside them suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Hi, I'm Xiaoai, I'm glad to serve you."

He was so frightened that he dropped the earrings in his heart to the ground.

"The best travel route from the village to the harbor is stored here, and it can also sense living creatures within a range of [-] meters and a depth of ten meters."

In the previous few nights, the best routes that Lu Man went out to investigate were all scanned and recorded by Xiao Ai, waiting to be used.

Lu Man explained to him: "Brother Qingmiao will lead the way tomorrow, so it should be useful."

Zheng Qingmiao finally digested the huge amount of information, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "But, but this is your earring... Is it okay for me to use it?"

Lu Man smiled slightly, bent down to pick up the pearl earrings that fell in Kusama, and put them in Zheng Qingmiao's hands.

"It doesn't matter, Xiao Ai is not very useful to me on this trip." After becoming an eagle, he can fly high and see far, so he won't get lost. "In your hands, Xiao Ai can play a better role."

To Lu Man, Xiao Ai is at best a ruthless navigator, and even the navigation function gradually loses its effectiveness as Lu Man's sense of smell and vision evolves.

But for everyone in Qingmiao Village, its role is completely different.

"Xiao Ai can switch the combat auxiliary system, lock the heat source to avoid monsters in advance, and propose a plan based on targeted tactical analysis..." Xiao Ai chatted about her business skillfully, and Zheng Qingmiao was stunned.

At lunch time, Lu Xiaoan and the others were sitting on the ground next to the car, eating dry biscuits with sliced ​​bacon sandwiched between them. Lu Man sat beside Lu Xiaoan on his knees, chewing the meat pie carefully.

Lu Xiaoan quietly looked at his brother.His eyes are dark, and when they are covered by shadows, they appear to be unfocused.

I feel that my brother is very quiet today.Of course, this may also have something to do with the rules in the wilderness.The adults of the hunting team repeatedly told them not to talk outside, not to leave the team without authorization, and to obey the command before they set off, so Lu Xiaoan could only huddle in the crowd and walk forward.

Eat in silence, walk in silence.

This is the first time Lu Xiaoan has come to the wilderness.He was highly nervous most of the day, because he couldn't speak to relieve his anxiety, so he could only walk and look around, guarding against the scary monsters that would appear from nowhere.

Suddenly he felt his hand being held.

Looking up, his mother was walking on the right, as if aware of his uneasiness, she used warmth to dispel the coldness of his palm.

Lu Man walked on his left, with a calm expression, looking forward, walking at a leisurely pace, with no expression on his face, as if he was in a daze with his mind empty.

Lu Xiaoan also stretched out his hand to hold his brother's hand. He could feel that Lu Man's whole body was stiff for a while, and he soon relaxed.

The three of them walked side by side, warmth passed from hand to hand.

This gave Lu Xiaoan a great sense of security, standing next to his family, even if the sky fell, they would be able to carry it up.

But soon, after the tense strings in his mind were loosened, a sense of fatigue surged up, and his legs slowly became trembling and weak like hand-rolled noodles.

Since we were traveling in the wilderness, the sooner we reached the finish line, the better. The speed of everyone's progress did not take into account the slightly fragile children who had not yet been exercised.

Lu Xiaoan saw that many of his companions couldn't keep up or walk, and they were placed on carts and pushed by adults like a piece of human-shaped luggage.

"Do you want to rest on the stroller too?" Aunt Lu asked Lu Xiaoan in a low voice.

Looking at Zhang Zaodao, Wang Yimeng and Zheng Qingqing who were still insisting not far away, Lu Xiaoan shook his head.

He leaned on his elder brother with his left hand, hooked his mother with his right hand, and gritted his teeth while walking and dragging, and continued to persevere.

The sun rose from the front of the eyes, reached the top of the head, and walked towards the back. The orange-red afterglow dragged their shadows in front of the eyes for a long time.Lu Xiaoan looked at the shadows on the left and right sides of the ground standing straight, only his own shadow in the middle was slanting, like a tree with a crooked neck.

It wasn't until the sun finally set and Zheng Qingmiao announced that the whole team stopped to rest, that Lu Xiaoan's legs gave way and he almost fell down on his buttocks. The soreness in his calves made him almost hold back tears.

Thanks to Lu Man who grabbed his collar in time, he didn't let him roll on the ground without looking.

Clusters of bonfires were lit, and tents were set up on the wilderness one by one.Everyone was silent throughout the day, and finally became active at night.

The adults gathered around the bonfire, roasting the processed meat brought out from the village by the blazing flames, and soon the pork legs and chicken legs were sizzling with oil, emitting the most original meaty aroma.

The adults who had been tense for a day took this opportunity to eat meat and talk freely.

The strange eagle found a strong branch in the surrounding woods to rest, and the gray ball nestled in front of the warm campfire and fell asleep.

The children nestled in the corner hadn't recovered yet. After walking for a whole day, they lost their appetite and collapsed on the ground where the sun still warmed them, like salted fish drying out.

Holding a handful of chicken legs in her hand, Zheng Qingqing ate until her mouth was dripping with oil. She walked around the companions lying on the ground a few times.

"If you don't eat it, they will finish it off."

"Damn...why do you still have so much energy!" Lu Xiaoan glared angrily at Zheng Qingqing, who was moving freely in front of him, and he clearly watched Zheng Qingqing complete the journey like him.Could this be the physical strength inherited from the Zheng family?

"Maybe it's because my elder brothers used to take me to exercise together." Zheng Qingqing took another bite of the chicken leg.

Lin Wan'er, who got into the car halfway due to physical reasons, was in good spirits, and followed Zheng Qingqing step by step, looking at her with admiration.

Lu Xiaoan struggled to get up to eat, and his mother left some meat for him.Lu Man was still squatting in front of the campfire, poking around in the burnt ash with a branch in his hand.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Lu Xiaoan held a chicken leg in his hand, and started to gobble it up. It wasn't until the moment he touched the food that he realized how hungry he was.

Lu Man didn't reply and remained silent for a long time.After Lu Xiaoan swallowed the last mouthful of the chicken leg, Lu Man seemed to realize that he turned to look at Lu Xiaoan and said.

"I'm here, roasted sweet potatoes."

"do you want to eat?"

Lu Xiaoan suddenly stood up, keeping a respectful distance.

Zheng Qingmiao, who was standing next to her, laughed loudly, as if she saw Lu Xiaoan's concerns, and patted her bare forehead: "Don't worry, Xiaoman's sweet potato roasting skills are still very good!"

After all, you only need to throw it into the fire, let it go and wait for it to be cooked. This is a basic skill that every rural child can master.

"Let me just say I read it right yesterday! Lu Man has really shrunk..." Not far away, an uncle yelled in a rough voice.

Lu Xiaoan caught his brother's name and quietly pricked up his ears to listen.

"Everyone says don't touch children's heads all the time, it must be touching the short ones for you!"

"You are purely slandering... I didn't touch it yesterday."

"I feel that Xiaoman is acting weird today. I observed him for a while, but he didn't even smile once today. Doesn't he always have a smile on his face? Could it be that he is in a bad mood?"

"You don't understand that, do you?" The aborigines of Qingmiao Village teased the newcomer from Wulu Town, "When he first came to the village, he wasn't like what he is now."

"Every time I saw him before, he would either hide behind Lu Chuan or Chunlan, or hide behind a tree, poking his head out timidly and watching you quietly. But when he wanted to talk to you, he ran away in a panic." Zheng Qingmiao Listening quietly, I also recalled Lu Man who was still ignorant and immature at that time, and I couldn't help smiling quietly on my face.

"It must be because of leaving the familiar environment, so I feel uneasy. Come on, let's go and have a look."

Not long after, a group of people surrounded Lu Man who was still waiting to bake sweet potatoes.

"Xiao Man, are you roasting sweet potatoes?"

Surrounded by so many people suddenly, Lu Man tensed up and hummed.

"I see that you are a little gloomy today. Is it because you are leaving the village to settle in a new place, so you are a little nervous?"

Lu Man recalled the Dafa that Lu Man said to him, "Nodding when you don't know how to reply" Dafa, so he nodded.

They showed expressions of "I just said so", and someone touched Lu Man's hairy head and comforted him:

"Don't be nervous, we are all beside you, follow us and you won't be afraid of getting lost."

"Yeah, there's nothing to worry about. Maybe you can meet a lot of new friends over there—tsk, don't touch so vigorously! You have to be like me, move gently, and gently..."

"Hey, don't touch it! What should I do if I feel short again later!"

"But his hair is so soft..."

Zheng Qingmiao also took two steps forward and rubbed Lu Man's head, sure enough, it felt soft.

In the past, Lu Man would have already run away with a smile on his face.But today's Lu Man was extraordinarily well-behaved, staying in place without moving.

Zheng Qingmiao's hand touched another hand with slender knuckles, and looking sideways, it turned out to be Zhang Qingyan.I even saw Li Nan with a calm face and Liu Kuangye with an awkward expression in the crowd.

Has everyone from the hunting team come to join in the fun?

After all, Lu Man always acted so independent and strong in front of them before, but now he has become a little sad and vulnerable because of leaving home, which is even more distressing!Just need to calm down.

Lu Man felt warm hands gently caressing his head, his neck stiffened.

Lu Xiaoan stayed next to Lu Man, and his head was "accidentally injured" a lot by the way. He covered his head and got out of the crowd.

"What is this doing?" Zheng Qingqing came over curiously.

"Touching my brother's head."

Zheng Qingqing's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she ran over to line up with an expression of "There is such a good thing" on her face.

Lu Xiaoan looked at Lu Man, who was at the mercy of others, in a daze among the crowd with some pity.

Sorry bro.After all...he also wants to grow taller!

At a height of ten thousand feet, a gust of wind blew by, and Lu Man felt that the entire back of his head was itchy from the wind.

Ha Chio - he sneezed several times in succession.

What's going on, is someone talking about him?

"Help me." Lu Man suddenly called out to him in his mind.

"What's wrong? Is there a monster?" Lu Man lowered his head to the ground with sharp eyes.

With the eagle eye and the night vision ability of the wolf, he could see the flames on the ground and everyone gathered together lively. Within a radius of several kilometers, he did not see any other suspicious shadows.The strange eagle and the gray ball also showed no abnormalities.

After a while, I heard a reply from over there.

"Everyone, for some reason, is hitting my head."

"That's...a way of expressing intimacy! Just bear with it." Lu Man was relieved when he realized it, and smiled to himself.

One of the changes that the octopus monster brought to him is memory.

Every time after merging with Lu Man, Lu Man would find an extra memory in his mind.After asking Xiao Ai, Lu Man found out that the octopus has three hearts and two memory systems.During the split period, he and the other half-body memories were independent, and when they merged, the memories would also merge together.

When he thought that after Lu Man returned to his original body, he would receive all of his memories during the split, he couldn't help but laugh again.

"How about...or run away?"

Morning light shines through the curtains on the table.

Chen Mu is processing various documents in the office.

The superintendent of education applied to build a new school in Anju, and included martial arts-related elective content in advance at the primary and secondary education stage.

The food department reported that the grain in stock could not keep up with the consumption progress, and it was necessary to expand farmland or improve varieties.

Sure enough, there are more and more people, and the population pressure is also increasing. Now such a small amount of land is simply not enough.

Fortunately, the last strange cave in the core urban area has finally been eradicated, and Lin Xiao has brought people there to build walls, renovate and rebuild abandoned houses.

The bridge across the abyss will also be completed in two days.

Two days ago, Lu Man said that Qingmiao Village had already left, and it might take four or five days to arrive depending on the footsteps.

It must be in time, and Chen Mu has already arranged for someone to meet them at the bridge.

Although Lu Man didn't say he cared, judging from his various performances, he was obviously looking forward to the arrival of his family.

In the past few days, I didn't play cards, didn't mess around, and I was absent-minded during the tutoring and training. The bullets fluttered around and hit the other students' targets with ten rings.

He Jing said that he didn't even eat much sugar, he didn't even think about food!

Seeing that Lu Man cared so much, Chen Mu sent him to follow Le Youyuan to help on the bridge.

Originally, they only wanted to send him over as a supervisor, but with the help of Lu Man, the bridge was ready to be completed ahead of schedule.

Although there is something wrong with his brain, his personality has become a little weird, but sure enough, Lu Man is still Lu Man, with super learning ability!

That's about all there is to it.After Zhuang Mansheng and He Jing come back, there will be another meeting to discuss...

Chen Mu rubbed his throbbing forehead, feeling exhausted.

One after another after being busy, I couldn't even sleep well.He hasn't been there for a long time.

Forget it, we'll deal with it when we get back.

He drank the cold coffee in his cup, got up and walked towards the prison.

Only here is the same as before, unchanged.

The cold and damp corridors, the condensed water droplets and the clinging moss on the walls, and the former partners who were imprisoned in the cage.

Chen Mu leaned his head against the cold wall, let out a long breath, and the tense strings loosened in this silent place.

As before, he confided to his old friend behind the wall what he had experienced during this period.

"We've already eradicated that monster cave, and we've been very busy expanding the Anju recently."

"By the way, Lu Man, that junior who came with me last time, his family is also planning to move to our place. He also helped us a lot in the last battle. If it weren't for him, we Definitely can't kill that bat monster."

"He...seems to be able to maintain his sanity and switch freely between monsters and humans. Yes, he is a very special existence. If he is discovered by Aurora, he will definitely be arrested and studied." Chen Mu chuckled With a sound, he muttered to himself: "Fortunately, he was found, it was our harbor."

"Lin Xiao and I have already decided to keep a secret for him. After all, he trusts us, and of course we have to give him the same trust."

"Le Youyuan, who lives opposite your door, woke up some time ago. Although he can't recover his human form now, he said that even in the form of a monster, he still wants to continue fighting as a soldier in the harbor. Recently he also executed There are many tasks, and many people in our station have accepted his existence."

"When will you... wake up again?"

Until the end, his voice slowly lowered.

A few days ago, with Lu Man's permission, the laboratory extracted his blood for research, and so far nothing special has been found.

Maybe Le Youyuan's waking up before was really just a coincidence.

Chen Mu closed his eyes and suddenly felt his cheeks itch.

Turning his head, he saw a small branch protruding from the gap between the rock bricks.

There are still stars and green shoots on the tips, and there is no wind at this time, but they are swaying gently.

Chen Mu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Fan Anyang?"
