"No... it’s not like that! I just..."
Fang Ya kept backing away, her gaze too vacant to dare look at Lu Chen’s face, her appearance only filling the man with disappointnt and rage.
Those hidden in the alley thought to sneak away and plan anew, but they had oversimplified the situation.
With his Level 7 Ice Ability, Lu Chen imdiately spread an Ice Seal from himself at the center of the alley, causing those people to slip. The Cold Ice Barbs that sprouted from the ice surface were too quick for them to dodge, and they fell flat on their backs.
After that, not even needing the soldiers outside to make a move, an enraged Lu Chen actually finished them off rcilessly.
Su Mo was his fatal weakness; anyone who threatened his wife was to be annihilated.
Only one superpower user remained, screaming for rcy with a leg pierced through.
Fang Ya, shocked by such a bloody thod of killing, cowered in a corner, daring not to move.
Su Mo walked over slowly, cradling her stomach, and crouched in front of her, "Why sche against ? I’ve treated you well, haven’t I? Sending bags of Crystal Stones your way and giving you plenty of opportunities."
Fang Ya couldn’t help but look towards Lu Chen, who showed no sign of emotion in his eyes, and tears stread down her face, "I was too hungry, I just wanted to go back to the life we had, Chenchen, don’t look at like that."
By grasping the barely alive superpower user, Lu Chen quickly understood the cause and effect.
When their plan here didn’t work, those foreigners targeted other superpower users nearby, hoping to kidnap Su Mo through them.
In exchange, they offered a substantial amount of Crystal Stones, food, and so-called Anti-Cold dicine.
These conditions were indeed very tempting.
Fang Ya was clearly moved. As people helped Su Mo to stand up, she shook her head, "Why do you always fail to understand the situation we’re in? Are you in cahoots with Lu Youwei?"
As she said this, Fang Ya’s body shook once more, and Su Mo understood it all.
Lu Youwei, the middle-aged man with a ruthless heart and cunning tactics, had found a way to agree on sothing with those people outside.
She lowered her eyes to think for a mont, then stared at her stomach. Su Mo thought that for the sake of her child, perhaps she should also expel this couple from the base?
She was very selfish; if her safety was threatened, then these people should not expect to get away either.
Su Mo lanted, "Lady Fang, do you understand what would happen if I fell into the hands of those foreigners? My body would be filled with tubes, I would be placed in a tank, and they would drain my blood for their research."
"Don’t you ever think about your son and ?"
Fang Ya, just by hearing Su Mo talk like this, broke out in goosebumps. She was simple-minded, often failing to grasp the seriousness of situations, driven only by the desire to get what she wanted, leading to irreversible actions.
Su Mo knew she understood, but it was too late for regrets.
Without hesitation, Lu Chen twisted the head of the last superpower user, then went over to help Su Mo up without giving Fang Ya another glance, only coldly telling the soldiers behind him, "Find Lu Youwei and throw them all out."
He knew all too well that if Su Mo hadn’t alerted him to co here, this visit could have turned disastrous.
"Throw us out?" Fang Ya was startled, then scrambled to grab Lu Chen’s pant leg, "I am your mother! Your mother!"
She scread with all her might, her dirty face unrecognizable as the clean woman she once was.
Lu Chen didn’t even glance at her but simply took Su Mo and left.
When Lu Chen ca over with his people, the situation had already escalated. Lu Jin had received the ssage; after hearing a rough summary from the soldiers, his dark eyes filled with limitless ferocity, "Hang those bodies outside the city wall and go find Lu Youwei."
At the sa ti, people from both refugee camps were looking for Lu Youwei, who was obliviously plastering cent on the city wall and excitedly watching the distant foreign territories from the top.
The superpower users looking for his help were not of low rank. The success rate of this task was high, and he had already started dreaming of his future, staring at the wall-scraper in his hand with a look of disdain.
Su Mo was escorted all the way back, and Lu Chen carried her to bed, holding her hand and whispering, "From now on, never leave my sight."
He looked extrely vulnerable, and Su Mo couldn’t help but hug his head, "I knew they had a conspiracy, so I sent soone to call you. Next ti, I won’t go. I’ll let you handle everything."
Her obedience didn’t reassure Lu Chen; instead, his gaze grew even more somber.
Having been out for so long, Su Mo was a bit tired and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Lu Chen sat with her for a while, then quietly closed the door and left. He gathered Jianxiong, Feng Yao’s people, and Jin Han, forming a team that was not small in number.
As night fell, several vehicles departed from the refugee camp.
Everyone received a ssage: to eliminate all those foreigners, leaving none, and to seize the batch of dicine they possessed.
At the sa ti, Lu Jin in the neighboring camp also flexed his wrist and set off with a pair of soldiers.
The two t halfway, and Lu Chen rely glanced at him without engaging.
Since the goals were the sa, there was no need to escalate the conflict.
Special forces from foreign countries located outside the refugee camps detected sothing amiss imdiately, and a bloody battle ensued.
Su Mo slept until noon the next day; she had beco more and more sleepy since becoming pregnant.
Groggily rising from bed, she heard the splashing water in the bathroom and caught a faint whiff of blood.
Stunned for a mont, she watched as a person, with only a towel wrapped around his waist, stepped out of the bathroom—a vision of a beautiful man fresh from the bath. Her eyes imdiately glued to his sculpted abs, "Where were you last night?"
Her intense gaze made the man chuckle, "I went to kill so chickens. Are you hungry?"
He sat beside her, his large hand caressing her belly.
Su Mo stared at him and honestly replied, "I am."
Her unabashed desire to devour him elicited a deeper shade in the man’s deep blue eyes, but he rely restrained himself, climbed onto the bed, and held her in his arms, kissing her cheek, "I brought back that batch of dicine. Sent it off to the lab for the researchers to analyze."
Inhaling his pleasant scent, Su Mo relaxed into his embrace, pinching the large hand that wrapped around her waist, "So you went to raid those foreigners’ lair last night?"
"Hmm, not one left."
Lu Chen spoke nonchalantly, but Su Mo could sense the risks involved and couldn’t help but worry, "Nobody got hurt, right?"
