"You guys are good at upsetting me in every way," Chang joked to the clones. "I mean it, every way."
"Yeah, still, that doesn't change the fact that we are older than you," the clones said in sync.
"How far away are we from He Bi?"
"I think we are almost there."
"Then what should we do with this big guy?" Chang pounded on the centipede.
"I'll look after it," Shui Qing said. "You, Zhizhi, and Sanpang should go downtown to restock our food. We can't stay for long. The migrating animals are just behind us. The city will be destroyed in no time."
"Alright," Chang answered. "What about the centipede? Shouldn't it be hungry by now? We didn't allow it to eat for a few days."
"It's all good, insects are better at enduring hunger than mammals anyways," Shui Qing explained. "Though, I think we should bring it somewhere where it could feed itself. Otherwise, when it's starving, it'll rebel and resist our commands."
