Sun Dasheng and Wu Xian have been best friends since childhood. As for why he has this name, it's not because his parents are fans of Journey to the West. He has always been like a monkey, jumping up and down. There isn't a tree in the town that he hasn't climbed. People joke that he is the reincarnation of a monkey.
The most powerful monkey in the world is Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, and the other version of Sun Wukong from the land of the Rising Sun is a powerful Super Saiyan. So his parents named him Sun Dasheng, hoping for great things from him.
After graduating from high school, Wu Xian went to a second-rate university in the north. Sun Dasheng stayed in the town and took over most of the courier business. Yes, he is now one of the few couriers in town.
As thunder roared, he finished his day's delivery work. When he looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. He returned to the courier station, lay comfortably on the sofa, and prepared to eat dinner while watching short videos on his phone.
On Wu Xian's first day as the hotel owner, he brought a box of beer and a bag of pork head meat to celebrate. The two of them got drunk and hugged each other until dawn.
Before leaving, Sun Dasheng wiped the saliva off his face and said to Wu Xian with heartfelt concern, "If the hotel doesn't work out, come to my courier station. I'll make sure you won't go hungry."
"Oh, get out of here. You're cursing me to go out of business, aren't you? Let me tell you, within ten days, I will open this hotel!"
"Alright, my son! Let's bet on a barbecue feast. Whoever loses has to admit defeat."
"Deal, you damn monkey, just you wait!"
Now it is almost the tenth day, and that guy hasn't called yet. Obviously, he's not coming anymore. Well, it's strange for someone to come and stay in that remote place. Besides, the weather is so unpredictable now, with thunder and rain. Who would have the time to go to your place and soak in the outdoor hot springs? Isn't the indoor hot spring in the hotel good enough?
"Boom! Boom!"
Outside the window, thunder roared, and the wind and rain raged. The closed windows slightly shook, and the raindrops sounded like they were about to shatter the glass, making a continuous "pattering" sound.
"What the hell with this weather!"
Sun Dasheng cursed as he quickly got up to check the waterproof situation of the house. There were still a lot of goods in the courier station, and it would be hard to explain to the customers if they got wet.
But just at this moment, a lightning bolt struck the backyard with a loud bang. The sound was like a bomb exploding behind him, startling Sun Dasheng.
"Damn it, I haven't done anything wrong. God, you should be more careful next time you thunder and lightning!"
Fortunately, there was nothing important in the backyard, just some leftover debris from the renovation. After cursing a few more times, he took out a bottle of ice-cold beer from the refrigerator and prepared to eat the fried rice he brought back from the road.
Short videos are indeed a weapon for killing time for bored people. With the laughter of a woman on the verge of suffocation and various energizing songs, Sun Dasheng unconsciously finished all the food.
"Burp..."
He finished the last sip of beer, belched, and was about to stand up to stretch, when a loud noise came from the backyard again.
Sun Dasheng's first reaction was to squat down and protect his head. It is said that lightning strikes the highest point, and if possible, he really wanted to lie flat on the ground. But the stains on the ground stopped him from doing so in time.
Damn, what's going on today?
Again and again, what does this damn weather want!
"Roar..."
Just when he thought it was all over and was about to stand up, there was a sudden roar from the backyard.
Sun Dasheng... This sound is absolutely not right. Could it be that wild beasts from the nearby mountains ran into town during the thunderstorm?
He quickly picked up his phone to call for help, but strangely, his phone suddenly lost signal. Even emergency calls couldn't be made.
Damn it!
Sun Dasheng hurriedly ran to the window where he could see a corner of the backyard, wanting to see what kind of wild beast it was.Luckily, the house he rented to save money was on the outskirts of town, with few people around. So, apart from his courtyard wall being destroyed...
Damn it, I worked hard for three days to build that courtyard wall, and now it has collapsed!
In a fit of anger, Sun Dasheng ignored the fact that the beast that could knock down the courtyard wall was not an ordinary one. He grabbed a hoe, put on a plastic raincoat, and rushed into the pouring rain.
A wild boar! Yes, it must be a wild boar!
He was determined to catch it and smash its head with a hoe.
But just a few steps out of the back door, amidst the rain, he witnessed a scene that shattered his worldview from the past two decades.
In the backyard, not far away, stood a humanoid monster about two meters tall, with wild arms. Its robust upper body was bound by flashings of electric rope. Dozens of police officers in black uniforms held the other ends of the ropes.
They seemed to be engaged in an intense struggle, with no clear winner at the moment.
At the same time, several other men in black took out handguns with punk-style designs and fired a series of shots at the roaring monster.
Unlike ordinary bullets, these guns emitted a silver-white light instead of recoil from the muzzle.
Laser guns?
Sun Dasheng stood there dumbfounded, near the scene of the fierce battle.
No, if it's a laser, his unprotected eyes could have been blinded by the intense light in the previous second.
So, it must be some other unknown kind of ray.
Although Sun Dasheng's body froze, his mind was racing intensely at this moment.
As he had anticipated, the monster, after being hit by those beams, did not experience any physical injuries. Instead, its body went limp, and its knees gave way onto the ground with a "thump" sound.
At the same time, the more than ten police officers began tightening the ropes.
The monster's upper body was tightly tied up like a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling). From the surface, it seemed almost impossible to escape.
The leader of the group, a bearded man, waved his hand, and three black-clad police officers began to approach the target.
One of them took out a sleek weapon and fired a shot about five meters away from the monster's body.
This seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back. The monster could no longer support its body and collapsed into the muddy water.
Even though there was thick rain and mist between them, Sun Dasheng could still clearly feel the relief among the people at the scene.
Just as a police officer walked forward in the pouring rain to check if the monster was completely anesthetized...
"Snap..."
Without any warning, the monster's right arm broke free from the constraints of the rope, swiftly raised, and its claw pierced straight through his chest, leaving a deep red mark in the pouring rain.
"Xiao Zhao!"
Everyone exclaimed in shock at the same time.
