It was late at night, everyone was in their sleep.
Yang Xiao had the most sensitive hearing, but he was asleep, with Long Yongjun sleeping beside him.
Tonight, there had been meat stew for dinner, and Long Yongjun had drunk two extra bowls, now feeling an urgent need to urinate. Wishing to get up to relieve himself but also fearing the cold outside, he had continued to hold it in. Once awakened, he found it impossible to fall back asleep.
At first, he didn't pay it much mind, but after a while, another strange cry came from outside:
"Woo—"
This time, the howl seemed to be right near the cave dwelling, the sound very distinct.
Long Yongjun's level of genetic evolution was considerable. His hearing had improved dramatically compared to before.
Hearing this howl, Long Yongjun bolted upright from his bed.
Due to the cold, everyone slept in their clothes and covered themselves with blankets.
Long Yongjun perked up his ears, listening intently.
"Woo—"
