Chapter 286 My lord, your image, your image!

Modilan was taken aback. He hadn't told his grandfather when he would be back, but the moment he saw the fan in his house, he understood.

"This outbreak of red tide in the Arctic Ocean was indeed quite troublesome. However, I have done my mission well and, after tracing the source, have finally found the culprit."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a seventh-order mutated Blood-Clad Algae. After its main body was severed, it was able to grow rapidly and spread over a large area.

It's no wonder that the vanguard battalion stationed in the Arctic Sea suffered heavy losses this time, with more than half of the fourth-tier ability users killed or wounded, and even six fifth-tier and sixth-tier users lost.

It was with Matt's help that I managed to completely eradicate it. To prevent any branches from escaping, I was forced to freeze that area of ​​sea, which spanned a hundred miles.

"Alas! What a pity for so many low-level sea beasts nearby, who suffered an undeserved disaster because of it."

Modilan Shield spoke lightly, but in reality, this time it was very dangerous. Countless red seaweed branches derived from the Blood-Clad Algae densely covered that sea area, turning the entire sea red.

Furthermore, these red seaweeds have the function of shielding mental energy. Matt's mental energy can only detect a range of about five meters in radius, and he was unable to detect the location of its main body.

Left with no other choice, the two of them had to go into the sea themselves and explore it piece by piece.

They were accidentally discovered by that guy, who wrapped them both up like dumplings. He could only escape by using an ice spell to freeze the seaweed.

Later, Matt discovered the anomaly: when the seaweed was frozen, it was temporarily solidified and could not sway left or right, so it looked like a giant fan shape.

The fact that these things can launch an attack together means that there must be a main entity directing them, and the fan shape they form must be to protect this main entity.

So they moved forward along the direction of the center of the circle pointed to by the sector, and finally found the location of the main body.

It was actually hidden behind a coral reef 300 meters underwater and 500 meters from the shore, no wonder the vanguard battalion couldn't catch it.

It hid in such a safe and secluded location, directing its branches to launch one small sea beast tide after another. The vanguard battalion killed the low-level sea beasts and severed many of its branches.

However, it can quickly generate more branches to replenish itself, keeping the sea surface always bright red. These branches can also release a toxin that causes lower-level sea beasts to obey its commands and launch a unified attack on the vanguard camp stationed on the shore.

According to Matt's investigation, this thing has existed for many years. At first, it only occasionally drifted over in some branches in the nearby waters, which did not attract enough attention from the Vanguard Battalion.

Later, occasionally one or two second- or third-tier soldiers would go missing from the vanguard battalion, but the higher-ups in the vanguard battalion did not pay much attention to it.

After all, small-scale battles often occur here, and their vanguard camp's main food source is low-level sea beasts from the nearby waters.

Until recently, this guy probably broke through to the seventh level and was no longer willing to hide in the seabed. In just a few days, the seawater was dyed by red algae, covering an area of ​​nearly five square kilometers, and a medium-sized sea monster tide also broke out.

The Arctic Ocean is located in a remote area with no residents nearby. However, the reason why a vanguard battalion was left to guard the area is that if the sea monsters here come ashore, they will pose a threat to District 28, which is 200 kilometers away.

As early as 150 years ago, a large-scale invasion of sea monsters occurred here. At that time, District 28 was completely unprepared. Overnight, the sea monsters approached the city. Within just two hours, the city walls were breached, and more than 70% of the city's residents died.

Those who managed to escape were mostly people with superpowers, and some had dug cellars in their homes and managed to escape the clumsy sea monsters' search by hiding inside.

Having learned from this lesson, the authorities decided to station a vanguard battalion there permanently.

Over the past 150 years, there have been more than one small-scale sea monster tide, but they were all quickly suppressed by the vanguard battalion.

Unexpectedly, a medium-sized marine mammal tide broke out this time, and it was caused by inconspicuous seaweed. Who could have imagined this?

Zuo Shan was quite shocked after hearing Mo Di's brief introduction.

After spending a year with the baby in District 48, he was forced to leave because he had to take on various missions.

Zuo Shan only knew that the missions he accepted were all about hunting mutated beasts, but he didn't know that the level of danger was so high!

She had thought that once the problem of food and clothing for most people was solved, the survival of humans on this planet would no longer be an issue. Now she realized that the greatest threat to human survival actually came from mutated beasts.

The planet is so big, and there are so few high-level superhumans. They are like firefighters, putting out a fire here and then the alarm goes off there. They are simply too busy to keep up and rarely have time to stay at home with their families.

Perhaps for this reason, although they have been as close as lovers over the years and he has proposed to her several times, he has not forced her to move to the old Lan Dun family house.

He wouldn't have made the decision to let them come if it weren't for the baby's education.

Upon learning that they were coming, even though he knew his grandfather wouldn't mistreat the mother and son, he was still impatient and risked his life to complete the mission as quickly as possible.

Looking at the man in front of her, with dark circles under his eyes, a stubble beard, and a strong smell of the sea on his body, Zuo Shan couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

But with so many people around, she was too embarrassed to show too much, so she whispered a reminder: "Sir, would you like to go wash up first?"

Following closely behind him, Matt looked even worse; his pale blond hair was a complete mess. Hearing the lady's reminder, he hurriedly tugged at the adult's sleeve and whispered, "Image, image!"

The battle was fierce, and Matt almost lost his life. As soon as the battle ended, the adults urged Mina to hurry back home.

Along the way, Mina had no choice but to use tornadoes to propel the fighter jet to speed up, which resulted in her superpowers being overdrawn. After entering the city, she was too weak to even walk.

The adults left her alone at the bus stop to wait for the bus, and strode home.

As the adult's personal assistant, what could Matt do? He could only grit his teeth and jog to keep up.

Modilan had been staring intently at Zuo Shan, but after his assistant's reminder, he glanced at him casually and deduced from Zuo Shan's disheveled appearance that his own image must be terrible.

She blushed immediately and, without even saying hello, hurriedly ran to her bedroom.

After exchanging a glance with Caesar, Hua Yang couldn't help but sigh. His precious daughter, his granddaughter Hua Lingxiao, was exceptionally talented from a young age and worked very hard, making her stand out from most of the boys around her.

After reaching adulthood, his superpower level broke through to the eighth rank, and coupled with his dashing appearance, countless young men sought his hand in marriage.

Unfortunately, she looked down on all of them, finding them too weak. The young talent she admired most was Mo Di. Although she didn't show any admiration for him, Hua Yang always felt that both of them were too reserved in matters of the heart.

Even knowing that Modi had a son, he still fantasized that one day he could become his grandson-in-law.

Men, occasionally have physiological needs, and accidentally leaving behind a child is a very common occurrence in large, prestigious families.

Seeing how outstanding Ah Chen is today, he thinks it's a good thing. After all, it's not easy for high-level ability users to have children. With this heir, his granddaughter won't have to worry about having children after she marries Mo Di.

But it wasn't until Modi entered the room and his eyes were glued to the new tutor that Huayang finally understood: the brat already had someone he liked.

This Miss Zuo is not only the child's biological mother, but also the object of Modi's affections.

It seems this marriage is completely off the table.

However, marriage is always about fate and cannot be forced.

His decades-long friendship with Caesar could not possibly be affected by such a trivial matter.

"Ahem, it's getting late, I won't keep your family reunion any longer, I'll be going now," Hua Yang said.

"Alright, I won't keep you any longer. I'll come to your house later to play chess with you." Caesar nodded.

"I'm already tired of looking at you, you old codger. Next time you come, remember to bring Ah Chen along. Oh, and Miss Zuo too. I'd like to ask her to give my family's chef some pointers." Hua Yang looked at his old friend with a look of disdain.

Then he turned to Zuo Shan and said pitifully, "Miss Zuo, you wouldn't refuse such a small request from an old man, would you?"

Zuo Shan was annoyed. This old man was clearly the head of a powerful family, so why was he acting so pitiful? It was as if he would be cruel if she didn't agree.

"No problem, or I can write down a few recipes for pastries for you to take back and let the chef learn to make them slowly," Zuo Shan said generously, after all, her son was still wearing the precious magical artifact that someone had given him around his neck.

"Actually, I invited Miss Zuo over because I wanted you to help me talk to my clueless granddaughter. She's 32 years old and doesn't even have a boyfriend," Hua Yang whispered in her ear.

“Well…maybe she doesn’t like men?” Zuo Shan said.

"If that's the case, I'll accept it, but she doesn't have a girlfriend!" Hua Yang said, looking troubled.

"Okay, I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee she'll listen to my advice," Zuo Shan said, forcing herself to speak. She felt obligated to help, and she really couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't force it. I just hope my granddaughter can make more friends, or even just talk to people her own age more."

"I'm leaving now, so please make sure you come to my house soon!" Hua Yang waved to them as he walked away.

After Caesar waited for him to leave, he said to Zuo Shan, "Don't take that old man's words to heart. His granddaughter is a cultivation fanatic. She's too lazy to even say a word to people, because she thinks they're wasting her time."

When we visit, just teach their cook a couple of simple home-style dishes; there's no need to give them your secret pastry recipes.

What he was thinking was, what if the Hua family's cook was smarter than his own cook, Laurie, and learned his granddaughter-in-law's exclusive recipe? Wouldn't the old man be able to eat more delicious food than his own every day in the future?

Hmph! He needs to be made to drool over the Lan Dun family's dining table!
