Chapter 190: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 97
Ten years later!
On the incredibly bustling streets, people were everywhere, either riding or leading various mutant beasts or mutant insects. They strolled leisurely, occasionally gathering for a brief chat.
Two elderly men, each leading a Mutant Orchid Mantis, gathered together, greeting each other.
"Old Zhang, you’ve got time to come out! And you’ve brought your son’s baby along, don’t feed it random things this time, or your son will get upset with you!"
The elder called Old Zhang, with his hands behind his back, defended himself to the person opposite, "Can you blame me? Our Little Flower is so pretty. It stands in front of a snack vendor, and the boss there gives it a bunch of food. When I saw it eat so happily, I thought it was fine. Who knew it would upset its stomach? Don’t you think it pains me too? Now that I’ve learned my lesson, I won’t give it random things to eat, no matter how much it acts cute!"
He said the last part because, upon hearing that it wouldn’t be allowed to eat random things, the Orchid Mantis beside him rubbed its head affectionately like a cat against the elder’s leg, trying to act cute. The elder, with a face that’s hard to maintain a serious expression, sternly rebuked it, but his eyes were full of doting affection.
The other elder shook his head and patted the Orchid Mantis that obediently lowered its head when he reached out to touch it, "It’s easy for you to say, resisting their acting cute’s not easy. In my family, both my partner and I can’t resist; its father has to step in."
The elder referred to its father as his own son. Nowadays, humans share close bonds with these intelligent, specially-trained mutant creatures. They are both comrades and family, and many people call their mutant creatures sons or daughters.
As the two elders chatted, they saw a team of entirely blood-red giant spiders approaching from the end of the street. The formation was orderly, and each giant spider carried a soldier in crisp military attire, looking handsome and elegant.
As this team of spider-mounted soldiers passed by, everyone automatically parted to both sides, gazing at them with envious eyes.
