"If we’re quick, we can still catch up and continue our chat,"
What the hell is he talking about! Su Mo felt her fur about to stand on end.
Just then, a torrent of water poured from above, and Su Mo scrambled to turn it off, but her wrists were bound by those slender hands; he lifted her chin and pressed his thin lips against hers.
...
The sound of splashing water inside was loud, and a few superpower users passing by wore excited expressions.
"Water ah!"
"Is soone taking a shower in there?!"
They twisted the doorknob, but Lu Chen had already locked it from the inside.
After Lu Chen had cleaned her up and changed her clothes, Su Mo erged with her waist encircled by his arm, an hour having passed.
Her face was as red as a ripe apple, of course, not from shyness but from anger!
She actually did that with this man in public...!!!
Indeed, with Biluochun Tea at hand, those who appear abstinent but are actually like wolfdogs act with reckless abandon!
Lu Chen, trying to cozy up to her, handed her a bottle of milk with a straw and brought it to her lips. Su Mo glared at him for a few seconds but eventually took it.
In the bathroom behind them, many n quickly followed suit and washed themselves, while Jianxiong alone, exhausted, was sprawled out on a table, snoring away.
Everyone had been on the move until now and was finally clean for once.
Early in the morning, a thick fog pervaded Yellowstone City.
Su Mo specially brewed extra Jasmine Tea and stuffed it into Jin Han’s hands to distribute.
At first, the superpower users were unaware of the tea’s effects, but after just one sip, their expressions seed to worship Su Mo.
"Just what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Bring them all out, I’m afraid my heart can’t take it," soone couldn’t help saying, using an honorific that left Su Mo not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
She also specially stir-fried a large pot of Scallion Crispy Pumpkin; whether it would be of use or not, at least for the next 50 minutes, they were in an absolutely safe state.
The visibility outside was exceptionally low, at only two to three ters, which was indeed frightening.
Considering the safety of the mutant plants, Lu Chen had no choice but to have everyone wait in place until the fog dispersed.
But after two or three hours, the city, shrouded by oddly shaped plants, remained covered in thick fog that showed no sign of dissipating.
The air inhaled through the nose was saturated with heavy moisture.
Jin Han stood at the entrance of the police station with a cigarette wedged between his fingers, taking a deep drag, "We can’t delay any longer, this place probably only has high visibility in the afternoon and night, but those tis are bad for sight, not favorable for us at all."
"Get in the car, drive slowly," Lu Chen furrowed his brows and finally gave the order; they had no choice, Jin Han was indeed right, waiting would only endanger their mission.
Lu Chen’s motorcycle chose to follow behind three armored vehicles, slowly setting off.
In the morning fog, losing one’s way was very easy, and they moved at a snail’s pace.
The one smooth aspect was that Yellowstone City’s Botanical Garden was a landmark tourist attraction of the city; so of the remaining road signs still standing on the streets were a great help to them.
By the ti the morning retreated, dissipating for the most part, they had arrived at the entrance of the Botanical Garden.
Lu Chen had been to this place once before and was naturally very familiar with it.
The entrance featured a giant stone archway entwined with many brown vines; the chipped paint on the words "Botanical Garden" hung crookedly above, making a creaking noise whenever the wind blew.
Several vehicles entered, and as the fog cleared, a winding path stretched ahead, flanked on both sides by a vast forest of withered trees. On the yellowing grass, several cartoon animal statues were placed, creating a desolate scene.
Su Mo stayed fully alert, scrutinizing both sides for anything unusual or abnormally protruding plants.
"Were there any dangers here the last ti you ca?" she asked, hugging the man’s waist with curiosity.
Lu Chen overtook three combat vehicles and answered, "Yes, but they’ve been dealt with."
They stopped in front of a huge glasshouse, barely making out the many green plants inside. Sunlight sprinkled down from above, and so greenish-yellow mucus stuck to the glass, looking quite disgusting.
The Spiritual Superpower User scanned the entire glasshouse and said, "For now, I haven’t detected any issues, just that there are many corpses."
The door was pushed open by Jianxiong, releasing the foul odor of decaying plants mixed with so strange scents.
Everyone’s strong physiological reaction was triggered by the pungent sll, though Lu Chen’s face remained indifferent as he stepped inside. He still passed a towel to Su Mo, "Cover up, try not to look at so of the scenes inside."
At first, Su Mo didn’t understand what he ant, but she still held the towel over her nose until she entered the huge garden and saw the massive slanted tree on the ground, which made her eyes widen in shock.
On the barren trunk, several brown vines coiled around dozens of bodies, so even hung backwards on the tree branches, turned into mummies, as if they were absorbed as nutrients.
"Did you kill this monster on your first visit? And these people..."
"They weren’t our kills. They were already dead before we arrived," Lu Chen said as he led her past a range of plants, directly to an iron door, whose already fallen lock Jianxiong quickly picked.
Jin Han and others took out a flashlight and shone it inside, indeed finding so specialized fertilizer and an abundance of planting soil on the ground.
"Ten minutes, collect all the soil, we’re bringing it back!" he shouted with joy.
The long and difficult trek seed finally to have paid off.
The Space Superpower Users they brought this ti, along with Lu Chen’s space, were more than enough. Su Mo didn’t interfere, rely helping them collect so of the fertilizer.
Coming out of the stuffy warehouse, she looked up at the huge glass do with her heart suddenly pounding, her gaze freezing.
More helicopters!
The sound of the helicopter rotors echoed long at the top of the glasshouse and didn’t dissipate for a while. Su Mo followed the helicopters, running out of the glasshouse, her eyes cold and dreadful.
Those helicopters weren’t dostic, painted with blue and white national flags, the exclusive aircraft of a neighboring country. Her terrible intuition told her that this matter was definitely not simple.
Having finished collecting items and noticing her absence, Lu Chen imdiately ca out of the warehouse to see the woman leaning against the glass door, and strode over, "What are you looking at?"
After turning over several thoughts, Su Mo pointed at the sky and said, "There are foreign aircraft entering our territory, and I feel sothing isn’t right."
Having been fully aware of the events that transpired in the underground laboratory, Su Mo rembered how she, in the presence of all the national leaders gathering at the multilateral conference, had struck down the so-called Evolution Potion. Although that incident was a conspiracy, it was hard for those officials not to take notice of her, especially since she had slaughtered the entire laboratory.
If, by a very unfortunate chance, they ca for her, then the situation would beco quite serious.
Lu Chen knew that sothing had happened to Su Mo, and as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, he said in a deep voice, "I have been striving to beco stronger, no one can take you away from ."
