LIGHTNOVELONLINE The original Xia Liang and the team finished their hiking and got off the mountain. They planned to go to the town about 30 km away that very night to take some rest and then took a bus and went back to S City.
But mutation thing happened!
Two calf-sized, wild-dog-shaped, smelly monsters appeared suddenly in the wilderness.
The monsters had half-decayed heads, no eyeballs, dirty and messy and bloody hair, but tremendously strong.
Fortunately, they all brought self-defense tools with them. And Xia Min in the team even took a steel alloy bow with him, which barely resisted the two monsters’ attack.
After a tough fight, everyone was exhausted and badly injured. Finally they accidentally found that the two monsters were very afraid of light. Therefore, they turned on their emergency lights to the maximum power and successfully repelled the monsters.
They were too frightened to keep walking in the dark. So they decided to camp right on the spot.
As much exhausted as they were, they had to take turns to rest. Every two of them took shifts to guard the emergency light- their last straw outside.
When it was the shift of Xia Liang’s team, the emergency suddenly light broke.
It was not Xia Liang’s fault.
But the originally Xia Liang was a spoiled, selfish, self-centered girl who had serious princess syndrome.
She came along with the team for hiking because she thought hiking was cool. So she begged her brother to take her. But when she actually was here, she complained this and that and slowed down the entire team.
Once, she almost burned the tent, which outraged everyone in the team. If it had been for her brother, she might have got beaten already.
So when the emergency light malfunctioned, the team assumed that it was Xia Liang’s fault. It was why Captain Sun slapped her and the others yelled at her.
…
After Xia Liang understood the background, she looked up at the girl who was standing behind Captain Sun regardless how loud the others yelled at her.
The girl’s name was Shao Qingqing, the other person who guarded the emergency light with her.
As she searched her memory, Xia Liang already knew that it was not her fault.
The original Xia Liang was scared by the monsters. She went quiet and guarded outside carefully unlike the arrogant her.
She may have a bad temper but she was not stupid. How could she destroy the life-saving light?
So the person who destroyed the light was the other one, Shao Qingqing who remained quiet the whole time.
Xia Liang frowned. Did Shao Qingqing do it on purpose or by accident?
…
Captain Sun was even angrier because Xia Liang remained silent to everyone’s blame. He thought she admitted her fault and was about to slap her again.
“Enough!”
Right at that moment, a cold voice hissed. And Captain Sun’s hand was grasped in the air!
Captain Sun was apparently outraged that his authority was challenged. But when he saw the person who stopped him, he was not that furious.
“Xia Min, we have been tolerating your sister for your sake all the way. You know what your sister is like. She may have us killed this time. If we don’t teach her a lesson, we may be killed next time because of her. And you don’t have many arrows left. If the monsters come again, how could we defeat them without light?”
Xia Min gave him a look and said with a cold voice, “If they return, I will be the first one to fight against them. I won’t drag guys down.”
“Come on! Look at what you are talking about. Xia Min, we are a team. Now that we are in danger, we need to help each other.” Said Captain Sun.
“He is right. We didn’t mean to aim at you. But your sister has gone too far this time.”
Ignoring all the others, Xia Min looked impatiently at Xia Liang who was still sitting on the ground. He reached out for her hand to pull her up.
Xia Liang then looked up at her brother.
Xia Liang could feel that in the way Xia Min looked at him, there was no warmth, no care, but only kind of indifference.
Apparently he didn’t like his sister.
