Su Mo had forcibly leveled up while fully conscious.
Lu Chen was startled by her state and imdiately wanted to go forward to pull her, but Li Qian directly stopped him, "Don’t interfere with her yet! She hasn’t finished leveling up! Let’s clear out these Mutant Beasts first!"
Lu Chen’s eyes darkened, filled with an indescribable heartache and anxiety as he watched her intensely,
Su Mo took just a re five seconds to complete her leveling up, her strength doubled, and the green Crystal Stone that had lted into her palm was completely absorbed.
Su Mo’s right hand transford into long, spiky vines over ten ters long that pierced into the thigh of the White Lion. Her eyes were blood red as she leapt into the air, and her Tang Blade thrust straight toward the head of the White Lion.
In front of her, Space fluctuated montarily and swallowed her blade, but Su Mo felt no panic at all. Her eyes fixated on the White Lion’s eyes, she frantically manipulated the blood within its body.
She wanted to crush it! To crush it!
These mad thoughts overwheld her entire mind. As her eyes bled red, blood slid from the corners, and the White Lion in front of her began to howl uneasily. The sensation of its boiling blood in its veins was excruciating, causing its whole body to tremble until, finally, in front of Su Mo, it exploded into pieces of flesh, and its dazzling Level 8 Crystal Stone was collected into her System Bag.
At the sa ti, all the wild beasts turned direction, attacking the superpower users while heading towards an unknown destination along the P River.
Without any organized attack, most of them scattered and even fled in fear. Under the onslaught of heavy weapon superpowers and bullets, the massive Beast Tide split into several groups and dispersed.
Su Mo was splattered with blood but felt nothing, only retracting her vines due to exhaustion and starting to collapse to the ground.
Lu Chen rushed over to catch her in his arms.
Yang Yichu was still stunned. He didn’t even look at the severed arm on the ground but staggered over to squat in front of Su Mo, calling out stiffly, "Sister Su."
"I’m fine. Does your hand hurt? Can it be reattached?"
Upon hearing Yang Yichu’s call, Su Mo tilted her head. Her eyes were now dull with pain. After forcing them open, they were bloodshot. Unable to bear it, she closed them again, and blood spread around her eye sockets, falling in a few drops.
Yang Yichu tugged at her hand, "It doesn’t hurt. My pain sensitivity is not sharp."
Lu Chen wanted to touch her eyes but didn’t dare to, while Lu Jin, who knew so of the situation, comnted with darkened eyes, "There won’t be any major problems. Her biggest weapon is those eyes of hers."
Lu Chen didn’t bother replying to him and just held Su Mo up, saying to Jianxiong and the others, "Cover . I’m taking her back."
After saying this, he intended to plunge headlong into the flowing Beast Tide. Lu Jin, despite the blood streaming down his thigh, threw a question at Lu Chen, "Su Mo is just a monster produced in a laboratory. Do you still love her?"
Su Mo, who was curled up in Lu Chen’s arms, tensed up for a mont. The man held her tightly, his reassuring strength allowing her to relax.
Lu Chen looked back coldly, "In this life, she’s mine."
Such an obviously provocative tactic was far too crude. He didn’t look back again but led his companion back through the flowing Beast Tide.
Lu Jin’s superpower users, along with Lin Yao, hurried over. They pushed Lin Yao towards him, and despite her pale face, she reached out to heal him. Lu Jin, however, retreated without hesitation, giving the woman a disgusted glance, "Get lost."
"Mr. Lu, this isn’t the ti to throw a tantrum; you know you’re infected."
"I don’t need it," Lu Jin walked into the charging stream of beasts with a limp, the injury he sustained for her. He wanted to keep it, even if it could get a re glance back from Su Mo.
Back in the refugee camp, Su Mo was imdiately taken to Li He, while Lu Jin rejected the dics’ treatnt, only asking for so gauze and anti-inflammatory dicine to be wrapped around his thigh.
The nearly thorough wound only made his complexion grow paler and didn’t elicit any other emotion.
Seeing him like this, ng Hao had a rough idea of what was happening. When he encountered Lu Jin, it wasn’t the first ti Lu Jin had ntioned Su Mo’s na. The woman who held such an important place in his heart really tortured him rcilessly.
"If you mutate, I’ll shoot you dead,"
Lu Jin looked back, "That day will never co."
As long as Su Mo was alive, he had to stay alive.
Just looking at her retreating figure satisfied him, even though his heart was wildly screaming to possess her, he didn’t want to harm her anymore.
Su Mo was placed on the hospital bed, eyes completely unable to open. At this mont, Li He’s Healing Light Ball seed ineffective, only providing slight relief. True recovery had to co from Su Mo herself.
While everyone was concerned about Su Mo’s condition, the system’s prompt sounded unexpectedly.
[Notice: System can be upgraded]
It had been a long ti since she’d heard its indifferent voice. Without hesitation, Su Mo confird.
[System upgrading...]
[This upgrade will unlock a new panel for the All Things Tree and the gardening feature. Congratulations, you’ve received 2 God Chef Gift Packs]
[Notice: The new era is about to begin. Please prepare in advance, host. Countdown: 2 years]
With her eyes closed, Su Mo was stunned by the series of prompts in her head, so much so that when Lu Chen asked about her condition, she couldn’t respond.
The new era...
The All Things Tree...
So answers seed on the verge of coming out. Su Mo suddenly sat up from the bed and grabbed Lu Chen’s hand, her sad and vacant expression startling everyone.
All she said was, "I think I understand."
"What?" Everyone couldn’t help but gather around.
Su Mo lowered her head, speaking softly, "I am a monster, but perhaps, also a savior?"
God Chef, inexhaustible food, gardens, water sources—everything humanity needed had inadvertently been packed into her body.
Every ti she needed an item during a crisis, it would be provided in the next system upgrade. So, could she define herself as, the Savior?
At the sa ti, she was a monstrous product of technology, even her body had grown in a culture vessel.
It was sowhat laughable.
Everyone was a bit stunned by her statent.
Lu Chen also held her tightly, frowning, "What do you an?"
Su Mo kept her eyes closed and was silent for a long ti before she said, "Are there outsiders around us?"
Jianxiong: "No, sister. We’re now in an independent rescue tent, only Li He and us."
Su Mo nodded, "We have two years to prepare. We need to build a bunker within two years. The geologists were right about the Ice Age."
