Chapter 153: Sneak Attack in the Night
"This is truly amazing."
Franklin exclaimed, circling the Block House with excitement. His height made him look like a Child seeing a new toy in a Shopping Mall, although in terms of Age, he was indeed a Child.
"Are these Building Blocks part of your Body? Where in your Body do they come from? Excreting such a large quantity at once, will it cause Damage to your Body?"
Clearly, normal Children wouldn't ask these questions. Yang Le scratched his Head, Considered for a moment, and then replied.
"I really haven't thought about that Problem. If I had to say, it Feels like Saliva, you accumulate a bit and there's quite a lot, but it's never too much."
"Ew!" Valeria frowned, clearly Yang Le's analogy wasn't very welcome. Even Peter and Moonstone's Expressions looked a little unnatural.
"Analogy, analogy, understand?" Yang Le quickly Explained, walking to the Doorway, opening the Room Door, and making an Invitation Gesture. "Want to see the internal structure? If you like, I can build one for you too."
"Is it sturdy?" Moonstone asked, she didn't want to be Submersion in Building Blocks in the middle of the Night.
"Don't worry, it's sturdy and reliable, and Wind can't blow in, Water can't seep in, definitely a hundred times stronger than your Tent."
Yang Le reached out and knocked on the Wall, making a "thud thud" Sound.
"A House that can shelter from Wind and Rain? That's great." Valeria let out a Stretch. "Sleeping in a cramped Tent all the time is going to affect my development. I don't want to end up short like Franklin."
"Hey!" Franklin protested unhappily. Height was his constant sore point, not just because of some shallow Brotherly dignity, but because of what happened a few years ago.
A few years ago, on the Night the Zombie Crisis just broke out, when he was escaping with Uncle Peter, he lost Consciousness. Since then, not only did his Height stop growing, but his Superpower also disappeared.
Therefore, whenever Height was mentioned, Franklin would think of his lost Superpower.
If he hadn't lost his Superpower, at least he wouldn't be so powerless in the face of this Crisis, and he would have had a Opportunity to save his Parents.
"Sorry." Valeria shrugged, although she apologized, she didn't seem very sincere. Franklin took a deep breath, choosing not to argue with his Sister at this Time.
They had argued countless times about this over the years, maybe Valeria was also Complain about him.
"Why are you the most useless when you're needed most?"
Valeria had once said these Words.
Little Val regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.
Peter severely reprimanded her that Time, Moonstone Comforted him, and craftsman also took out his Treasures to tease him.
Everyone was afraid he would collapse because of these Words, but they underestimated Franklin.
If he was going to collapse, he would have collapsed the moment he learned he had lost his Power.
He had thought of what Little Val said even before she did, but he still got through it.
Their Parents and their Parents' Friends taught him more than just how to Control and use Superpower.
If Franklin was just an ordinary Bear Kids, the World would have been Destruction countless times over.
For a long Time after that day, the three adults were much more careful when interacting with Franklin, for fear of stimulating him.
Only Little Val remained almost the same as before, occasionally arguing with Franklin, but she knew to be mindful of her words and wouldn't speak overly radical phrases again.
This was because she understood Franklin. This kind of special treatment would only make him pay more attention to his missing Superpower.
A Normal Heart was the best Choice to Comfort him.
Sure enough, no matter what Time, the only ones who truly understand you are your Family.
Thinking of his Sister, Franklin couldn't help but reveal a Silly Smile, enjoying a small warmth in his Heart in this Living Hell.
"Stop grinning like an idiot over there."
A familiar Sound came, Interrupting Franklin's Fantasy. Coming back to his senses, it was indeed his Sister, who was now carrying her Bundle and looking at him.
"Hurry up and pack your Things, Happy has already built a House for us, come over and lend a Hand to tidy up."
"Happy?" Hearing a Name he hadn't heard before, Franklin asked in confusion.
"It's Yang Le." Valeria rolled her Eyes at her Brother. "He said his Friends all call him that, you wouldn't need me to Explanation if you paid a little more attention."
"Sorry, my mistake." Franklin generously admitted his mistake. Maybe it was because of the Mental Filter just now, but he was now exceptionally Patience with Valeria.
"Your Expression right now is disgusting." Valeria frowned, then turned around to avoid Franklin's subsequent Expressions. "Hey, I'm still your Brother, you know." Franklin quickly walked up and snatched the Bundle from her Hand. "At least respect me a little."
"Got it, Little Peter Pan."
Peter watched the Siblings bickering with a comforted Heart. This might be his only Comfort in the Apocalypse.
He didn't know what the Siblings thought, but at least in his Heart, he was raising the Fantastic Twins as his own Children.
Peter heavily knocked his Head. Not only Franklin, but his Spider-Sense had also malfunctioned after entering the Apocalypse.
It had been ringing "ding ding ding" non-stop, and he hadn't had a good Sleep in a long Time.
"Please, stop it."
Peter grabbed his Hair fiercely, even pulling out a few strands. What was wrong today?
Why was it calling so fiercely? The Spider-Sense, which hadn't stopped for several years, had made its credibility zero in Peter's mind.
Peter weakly raised his Head and vaguely saw a string of blurry Blue Shadows, pouncing towards the Twins.
Peter was shocked. In his Superman Vision, Everything became so slow, allowing him to clearly see the silent attacker.
It was Nightcrawler, only his upper Body remaining, now opening his Blood Basin Mouth, pouncing towards the noisy Siblings.
Under the Night, he perfectly displayed his Father's Bloodline.
"Be careful!"
Peter took a big step and ran towards the Fantastic Twins.
From the Ground being kicked up, it could be seen how anxious he was.
But Nightcrawler was faster than him.
The Siblings, hearing Peter's Warning, turned around and only saw Nightcrawler's Blood Basin Mouth and Sharp Teeth.
And, in their Peripheral Vision, they glimpsed a Building Blocks Fist passing between the two of them.
"Crack!" Nightcrawler bit down hard on the Goop's Fist that was stretched out.
Before it could React, the Building Blocks began to spread like Ants, turning into thick Restrainers, eventually wrapping it up tightly, leaving only its Eyes exposed.
Then it fell heavily to the Ground.
