Jiang Jiang finally understood Su Ling's explanation and asked, "Will Xiao Jiang also evolve?"
Su Ling glanced back at Xiao Jiang, who looked up at Su Ling as she looked over.
Then, with its sapphire blue eyes, it blinked at Su Ling, seeming to be acting cute and coquettish.
Su Ling handed a bunch of bananas to Xiao Jiang. The latter's eyes instantly lit up, and it happily let go of the hand holding Jiang Jiang's clothes, taking the bananas from Su Ling with both hands.
After Xiao Jiang took the bananas, Su Ling looked at Jiang Jiang and said, "I'm not sure. You can communicate with it more."
The topic concluded, and Su Ling asked Jiang Jiang, "How is it?"
Jiang Jiang stopped looking at Xiao Jiang and instead faced Su Ling. "I had a premonition. This hailstorm will last until the day after tomorrow. The timing is very fixed: it falls every day around noon, stops at dusk when the sun sets, then it falls again after it gets completely dark, and then stops."
"Is it like this for the next few days?" Su Ling asked, looking at Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang nodded and ran a hand through his hair. "It's strange, isn't it? I find it strange too. It feels like something pre-programmed that just goes off at the appointed time. Although this analogy isn't quite right, it's the best I can come up with."
Su Ling could no longer clearly recall how hailstorms occurred in her previous life. She stretched and looked at Shang Qi. "After breakfast, we'll go out again and come back as noon approaches."
Having said that, Su Ling reached out to take Shang Qi's hand. "Let's go see how breakfast preparations are going."
After Su Ling and Shang Qi left hand in hand, Jiang Jiang squatted down. He looked at Xiao Jiang, who was peeling and eating a banana, and communicated with it in their own language, "There was a big hailstorm, and Brother leveled up. Did Xiao Jiang Jiang level up too?"
Xiao Jiang's mouth was full of banana, its cheeks bulging as it chewed. Its sapphire blue eyes blinked at Jiang Jiang.
Under Jiang Jiang's expectant gaze, it nodded. "Yes."
Jiang Jiang was quite fond of Xiao Jiang Jiang. It could be so cute even as a zombie. "Then, Xiao Jiang Jiang, tell Brother what you leveled up?"
Xiao Jiang peeled another banana, eating it while looking at Jiang Jiang. Its left hand held a banana, and its right hand also held a banana. Since its hands were full, it simply didn't bother to point with its fingers and said, "Someone has landed on the island."
"What?" Jiang Jiang was surprised. He looked at Xiao Jiang. "What do you mean?"
Xiao Jiang thought for a moment and then said to Jiang Jiang very seriously, "There are ships on the other side of the sea, and there are people."
Hearing this, Jiang Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, as if understanding something. He smiled and reached out to pat Xiao Jiang's head. "Xiao Jiang Jiang is so amazing, even more amazing than Brother. Let's go find Sister Ling and tell her the news."
"Sister Ling will be happy then, and might reward you with a whole durian!"
Upon hearing "durian," Xiao Jiang's eyes lit up with happiness. It circled Jiang Jiang, "Really?"
Jiang Jiang took Xiao Jiang's hand, which was still holding a banana peel, and walked towards the mess hall, nodding. "Really, Brother won't lie to Xiao Jiang Jiang."
The two of them communicated in their own language all the way to the mess hall. Everyone looked at them with curiosity.
They were babbling about something that no one could understand.
Jiang Jiang, with Xiao Jiang, found Su Ling under everyone's curious gaze. "Sister Ling, Xiao Jiang just told me that someone has landed on the island."
Su Ling, with a lollipop in her mouth, heard Jiang Jiang's words and asked, "Did Xiao Jiang sense it?"
Jiang Jiang nodded. "It said there are ships at the dock, and there are people."
