Short, Light, Free Chapter 167

Chapter 167: The Book of Revelation (Part 2) II

When I opened my eyes, the monkeys were surrounding me .

I recalled everything that had happened and immediately felt for any missing body parts .

I stood up fine and saw two ready-made tree ladders by the hole .

There were 13 wolves' corpses beside me .

I saw the lady hugging one wolf, bawling her eyes out .  

I didn't know which planet she came from, but she seemed to experience emotions the same way that earthlings did .

A monkey tapped my shoulder and handed the booklet to me .

I took it and the other monkeys looked on excitedly, even breaking into a dance .

All of a sudden, she let out a growl and the ground started to vibrate violently .

Her planet started to crack and eventually pulverized .

The monkeys tapped me and pointed at the girl .

I turned around and saw that she was turning black, gradually disintegrating into burned dust along with her wolves .

My booklet shook a little and the black LV1 turned into a flaming golden LV2 .

I had leveled up .

I had won the first match but my booklet had yet another black page .

Eight battles awaited me and I had nothing else except for my monkeys .

The mini forest had been stripped naked during the attack of the wolf pack .

I did not know if the girl died, but her sudden disappearance wasn't any different from death .

I opened the booklet and saw that the burned branch was still inside, together with the torn page that was now black .

I knew that that was the page that saved my life .  

Picking up the 'pen', I wrote, "Give me a few boxes of weapons and ammunition . "

A blue light flashed across the sky and a loud whistle went off .

I raised my head and saw four huge crates dropping from the sky .

When it landed, the monkeys immediately crowded over it and fiddled with them .

"Stop, all of you!"

"All of you!"

"You!"

They dropped what they were doing and I walked toward the boxes and opened them .

I was shocked by the range of guns that appeared before me, many of which I hadn't seen before .

I looked at the black LV2 on my booklet . It was definitely and significantly better than LV1 .

These four boxes supplied enough arms to cover for all 14 of us .

While I was still considering what to do, the monkeys gathered over and started touching the guns .

"Stop it!"

"Stop it!"

"It!"

They might be obedient, but monkeys are naturally curious creatures .

It took me three hours to get a rough understanding of all the weapons .

I distributed them to the monkeys and by the time they mastered the necessary skills, the sky was already pitch black .

These monkeys' careless and haphazard att.i.tude wasn't something that could be corrected . Even when I was giving them lessons on how to operate the guns, I could hear all sorts of firing sounds coming from everywhere . How n.o.body got hurt was puzzling .

I had thought that all four boxes only contained guns but I eventually discovered that two boxes were carrying things like bullet-proof vests and first-aid items .

I took some vests and helmets out and put them on for the monkeys, but they hated them .  

The defense armors came in different sizes so I managed to find a suitable fit for all of them .  

There were even numbers on the helmets, which helped me recognized each and every one of them . I relayed their numbers to them quickly .

They were happy to have a name of their own, dancing and baring their teeth non-stop . There's a possibility that I might have misread their expressions, but it remained a fact that things were made more convenient for me .

On my helmet, however, was an LV2 sign .

There were also grenades and the like, and I picked one up and kept it in my pocket .

After closing the box, I called the monkeys over and had them turn it over .

"No one must touch this box . Whoever touches it will be disowned by me . "

"Disowned by me . "

"Me . "

The monkeys nodded solemnly and quickly stepped away from the box .

They were good in nature but were simply too restless and hyper .

Playing with guns was already worrying enough . Grenades? Forget about it .

I then consolidated three gun techniques and allocated them to the monkeys .

Each one had a specific technique they could use .  

The mini forest was still around but the food supply had greatly reduced .

I rewarded them food according to their performances and was thankful that I didn't need to starve any of them .

At night, when all of them had fallen asleep, I counted the ammunition and realized that there were just enough to fill the guns in their hands .

Restless and unable to sleep, I looked up into the sky, thinking about how this company made my life here fulfilling . If not for them, I probably would've hung myself off the tree by now .

I then wondered if my recent and future upgrades would mean that the monkeys could slowly evolve into human beings .

I had my fears, of course, that they would rebel one day .

Would I still be able to hand my booklet to them if they continued growing smarter? Or would they steal my booklet one day? On the other hand, could I develop a trusty ally who would a.s.sist or revive me whenever needed?

I didn't sleep a wink, and when the sky lightened up, I saw another planet approaching .

I braced myself for the impact of the collision .  

The intense shaking woke the monkeys up and one of them started firing at the planet .

The other monkeys followed suit and I wasn't in time to stop them .

"Wait, what are you doing! They're not here yet!"

"Not here yet!"

"Yet!"

I remembered telling them only to shoot when the enemy appeared . Did they regard the other planet as our enemy?

After 30 seconds of shooting, no one appeared, but the monkeys had finished their bullets .

To think that I had been worrying that they would seize my throne .

The monkeys, in their defense gears, came hiding behind me upon finis.h.i.+ng their bullets .

What a familiar sight, I thought frustratedly as I held onto my desert eagle with a 98K slung over my shoulder .
