Chapter 180: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 87
Ever since Lin Shuangshuang acted as a psychological counselor for Chi Shaolong, the distant aura Chi Shaolong used to exude had noticeably diminished. However, his face remained as expressionless as a glacier, a trait that seemed unchangeable. Even Lin Shuangshuang found it hard to make both her facial expressions and language more expressive.
After seven days of travelling with Li Man, Monkey finally reported to Zhang Ling that Li Man had made contact with someone. The person who came was adept at using the trees to conceal their movements and presence. If Monkey, born in the forest and skilled in hiding, hadn’t been so observant, they wouldn’t have been discovered.
Li Man met this person at noon, under the pretense of answering nature’s call. Although Monkey was more intelligent and perceptive than some particularly mutated creatures, it wasn’t human and couldn’t comprehend what Li Man and the person discussed or did after their meeting.
Luckily, Monkey’s task wasn’t to understand; Zhang Ling had instructed Monkey to identify who Li Man was meeting and then locate their home base.
Monkey accomplished Zhang Ling’s instructions smoothly. The person’s concealment abilities were indeed formidable, such that many mutated creatures wouldn’t notice them, but Monkey was an exception. By tailing this person, Monkey easily found their base, which was quite a distance from Lin Shuangshuang’s group, about ten miles away!
Having located these people’s base, Monkey could now record their aura and track their movements, ensuring that their side wouldn’t be caught off guard by an ambush.
In the following days, Li Man cautiously refrained from contacting that person again, but Monkey already knew the exact location of the other party and could locate them at any time. So, it didn’t matter if Li Man contacted them again or not.
The path ahead grew increasingly difficult, and Li Man mentioned that they were not far from the energy stone. The group also noticed that the mutated creatures ahead were becoming more challenging to deal with, indicating that Li Man might be telling the truth this time.
