Chapter 112: Local Tyrant Gold
Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Local Tyrant Gold
Su Jin felt a bit reluctant to leave, but then she thought that the little monkey had its own group and that it might be better for it to return to its own kind.
So she took out two bananas, placed them on a clean spot, and put the little monkey beside them, saying, “Thank you for leading the way, good-bye, the bananas are for you to eat.”
“Squeak squeak squeak squeak”
The little monkey picked up a banana and started to peel it.
Su Jin smiled and shook her head, Mao Qiqi and Liao Yifan also looked back at the little monkey with reluctance every three steps they took.
As the little monkey ate, it watched the departing group of people, tilted its head, and suddenly, it threw away the remaining half of the banana and ran towards the group!
Just as Su Jin was about to get into the car, she felt something tug at her trouser leg. Looking down, she saw a fluffy golden bundle. The little monkey raised its head, its black eyes looking at Su Jin and she felt her heart melt.
Keep it!
A voice seemed to say in her heart.
Su Jin bent down and held the little monkey in her arms, then said to Lu Hao, “I’m going to keep it, Lu Hao.”
Lu Hao: …
“Yay!”
Mao Qiqi’s cheer came from behind.
Liao Yifan also came running over happily and stroked the fluffy head of the little monkey. This time, the little monkey didn’t resist and let Liao Yifan pet it.
“Tch, I think that monkey is too opportunistic,”
On the road, Guo Yang, who was driving, said, “It just knows that Su Jin has good food, that’s why it always wants to follow her.”
“That’s not being opportunistic, it shows that the little monkey is smart,” Liao Yifan still couldn’t forget the feeling of holding the little monkey just now, it was too cute!
“Shitou,” Yin Chengtian stared blankly outside and called out.
“Hmm?”
“I feel… that we are not even as good as a monkey…”
“…”
Yes, now even the monkey in their team had a Special Ability. Shi Jin was okay, he didn’t particularly want one, but Yin Chengtian was quite devastated.
“You can kill zombies, kill mutant animals, but the little monkey can’t, don’t think about it,” Liao Yifan consoled, she really felt it didn’t matter whether one had a Special Ability or not. Even without one, you could still kill zombies, and Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin were no worse off than those with Special Abilities.
Seeing Yin Chengtian still appear dejected, Liao Yifan couldn’t help worrying. They were old colleagues and now teammates. She decided to mention this to Captain Lu when she had a chance, to prevent the two from being unable to get over this hurdle in their hearts.
Mao Qiqi was teasing the little monkey. Her small map still couldn’t show this little monkey, but it could show the herd of mutated wild boars. Could it really be as Sister Xiao Jin said, because of their size?
“Squeak squeak squeak”
The little monkey jumped back into Su Jin’s arms, looking up at her with big eyes.
Su Jin covered her eyes, she couldn’t handle it anymore, she was being charmed. How could there be such an adorable monkey?
Watching Su Jin like this, Lu Hao felt a bit jealous. What should he do if his wife was charmed by a monkey?
“Lu Hao, let’s give it a name?” suggested Su Jin.
“Call it Mouse,” Lu Hao glanced at the coquettish monkey and said.
“Why? Mouse isn’t cute at all,” Su Jin strongly objected. Besides insects, mice were what she disliked the most.
“Because it sounds like a mouse,” Lu Hao answered.
“Squeak, squeak!” The little monkey clenched its fist in protest.
Su Jin was hopeless at naming, so she turned to the people in the back seat for suggestions. Mrs. Su and her aunt came up with a bunch of names, but they were all vetoed by Su Jin and Mao Qiqi. Lele, Huanhuan, DouDou…
“Mom, auntie, it’s not a dog,” Su Jin said. Those names sounded like they were for a canine.
Su Jin took out the walkie-talkie and pressed the talk button, calling out twice.
“What’s the matter? Is there a situation?” Lin Xiuyuan got a huge scare. Nie Qing and Lu Guanhai were still in the Space, and if something came up, he would have to go in and call for them.
“Is there danger again?” Xue Wanyi also asked tensely.
“Ahem, I was just thinking that you could help name the little monkey. You all have some free time anyway, hehe,” Su Jin hadn’t expected to startle everyone in both vehicles with her call; no wonder, considering they had encountered danger throughout their travels. Every time she picked up the walkie-talkie, it seemed like she was reporting an enemy situation.
“…”
There was a moment of silence over the walkie-talkie before Xue Wanyi’s voice came through: “I say call it Xiaofeng, Yifan says call it Huahua, Xiao Tian says call it Benben, and Shitou says call it… what was it again? Oh, Bounce, Bounce. Right, Guo Yang, you haven’t suggested one yet.”
…
Xiaofeng, Huahua, Benben, Bounce?
“Su Jin, Su Jin, I’ve thought of a peerless great name,” Lin Xiuyuan’s excited voice came through.
“What is it?” Su Jin’s eyes lit up.
“Let’s call it Local Tyrant Gold, how about that?” The image of the little monkey’s golden fur immediately brought these three words to Lin Xiuyuan’s mind.
Local Tyrant Gold, what a domineering and awe-inspiring name!
So, amidst a bunch of cute names like Huahua, Huanhuan, Lele, Benben, the name Local Tyrant Gold stood out and won first place, and the little monkey’s name was decided just like that.
Su Jin also found the name Lin Xiuyuan came up with pretty cute, and the little monkey seemed quite happy when it heard it.
Xue Wanyi turned off the talk button, twitching the corner of his mouth. This family’s taste was somewhat unique…

The vehicle drove on until noon. In the meantime, Su Jin had entered the Space once to see what delicious food they could have for lunch.
Lin Yunguo had already prepared boxed lunches, and the grandmother, Li Xiuying, had even prepared a fruit platter, waiting to serve it when Su Jin was ready to eat.
Considering everyone’s high energy expenditure that morning, Su Jin decided to take out a roast goose that she had bought back in G Province to fortify everyone.
The vehicle stopped at a relatively open area on the roadside. The crops growing on both sides were unrecognizable, all withered and yellow. If her grandparents were to see this now, they would probably have sighed at the sight.
“Su Jin, what’s for lunch today?” Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t wait any longer, as he was already hungry.
Su Jin took out a large takeout box and put it on the folding table. Mrs. Su helped open it, revealing a sliced roast chicken? Roast duck?
“It smells so good, what is this delicious item?” Lin Cheng asked, sitting down on a foldable stool. He couldn’t tell what it was, but it smelled incredibly appetizing.
“Uncle, this is roast goose. I bought it specially to store in the Space,” Su Jin said with a smile. The roast goose had already been cut by the seller, and they could just pick it up with chopsticks to eat.
Thus, everyone sat on their little stools, holding their lunch boxes, occasionally standing up to grab a few slices of roast goose from the folding table.
The lunch boxes contained braised pork, dry-fried green beans, sour fish, and some cute little green vegetables. The fragrant white rice was sprinkled with some roasted black sesame seeds, making it look very appetizing.
Local Tyrant Gold was also fortunate to have his own food bowl. Lin Yunguo, upon hearing from Su Jin about the arrival of an invisibility-capable little monkey in their team, had specially prepared a stainless-steel food basin filled with food. Since monkeys are omnivores, Local Tyrant Gold’s bowl also contained slices of braised pork, as well as some peanuts and nuts.
Su Jin even brought out a fruit platter with sliced watermelon, apples, and pears for everyone to enjoy as a dessert after their meal.
Really, is it okay to eat so blissfully in the Apocalypse?
But the group didn’t concern themselves with that and just enjoyed their meal.
