Chapter 74 The Devil Whispers.

Lu Qinghe was also stunned. Her brave and invincible father's fighting ability today was very strange: "Is there a problem with this gun too?"

Lu Xingyao tried his best to remain calm: "I'm out of energy. I'm going to rest for a while."

When your energy is truly depleted, your head will ache so much that you can't concentrate and all you want to do is fall asleep. Although he is tired now, it's not to that extent.

After all, he had experienced many ups and downs in his life. Even if he was caught off guard by an unexpected situation, Lu Xingyao knew that now was not the time to reveal his troubles and shake the morale of the army.

He used the intercom to arrange for someone to fill his position. His tone was heavy and calm, without showing any panic. Then he strode to the rest area and lay down on the mat.

When people first lose their superpowers, most of them will not directly associate it with the plunderer. They will think that it is because they are too tired and need to sleep in time to replenish their energy, just like a computer suddenly becomes unresponsive, but it can be restored to normal after restarting.

Lu Xingyao thought so, but he was soon awakened by screams that rose and fell like waves.

"Octopus!! What a huge octopus!"

"That's a centipede, oh my god!"

Lu Qinghe thought she had created a nightmare for herself, and that the feeling of falling from the sandbag would wake her up.

She didn't wake up. Right in front of her, there was an octopus monster taller than a building, which wrapped its tentacles around the zombies and sucked them into its suction cups to eat them without moving. It really existed.

But where do octopuses come from on land? !

There were also screams coming from the other direction. The searchlight kept sweeping over a large crocodile with black and gray patterns and an appearance similar to that of a dinosaur. Bullets hit it as if they were playing, and could not penetrate the thick crocodile skin at all. Instead, the crocodile turned its head and opened its mouth. The huge mouth with fangs and the abyss that could swallow a truck scared many people to kneel on the spot.

After Shu Maomao threw the dice, Shu Lan secretly chose her favorite prey like choosing dishes at a buffet.

"Take the fire-breathing one, the one that creates stone men, and those two giant claws. What the heck, they look like lobsters... Okay, let's take all the superpowers today. Don't let them last until tomorrow morning."

Shu Lan muttered something in Shu Maomao's ear for a while, then covered her mouth. Shu Maomao removed the sound-absorbing air wall and poked the back of her hand.

Shu Lan made an OK gesture and Shu Maomao nodded.

She pinched her nose, spoke in a slow, low voice that hinted at anger, "I am the God of Destruction. How dare you trespass into my domain and disturb my slumber? I will send a messenger to make you regret it."

Others may not be able to hear it, but the one with the best hearing will definitely hear it.

She repeated it several times. Shu Maomao, with his excellent night vision, saw someone stumbling towards the bearded uncle and saying, "Commander, I hear the devil's whispers! These monsters that suddenly appeared are the devil's messengers!"

The air around them was distorted for a moment, and Shu Maomao said, "Mommy, that man heard it. He said you were the devil's whisper."

Shu Lan sighed, "What a memory! I clearly said I was a god. Never mind, a devil will do. Let's stop here for today. You must be tired after shaking six sides at once. Let's go back to sleep."

Shu Maomao took her hand, and two figures disappeared from the rooftop.

After he left, the pets from the other world stopped eating and returned to their respective nests.

Although the zombies that were once bustling around were mostly gone, the people in District 12 were still in shock and it took them a long time to recover from their fear.

District 9…it’s horrible.

After a night, the sky was turning pale. Most people had red eyes from staying up late and looked listless.

Lu Xingyao stood high up, holding a megaphone, and said in a heavy voice, "I hope everyone will be mentally prepared for what I'm about to say. My special ability has suddenly stopped working since last night."

In order to verify the truth of his words, he took a pistol and fired a shot at a cement block not far away. In the past, this bullet could have had the effect of a grenade, smashing the cement block with a diameter of nearly one meter into pieces.

However, it only had the effect it was supposed to have, leaving a small bullet hole in the cement block.

Seventeen people then stepped forward and admitted in frustration, "My powers haven't worked either."

"After the monster appeared last night, mine suddenly stopped working. I caught up on some sleep and ate, but it still didn't work."

When Lu Xingyao thought about what he was going to say next, he felt confused and absurd. Even though it was absurd, it was the only explanation at the moment.

"It seems there's a demon in District 9 who calls himself the God of Destruction. The monsters that appeared last night were all its messengers. Our abilities disappeared because we disturbed its dormancy, and it punished us."

The air was silent for a moment, everyone opened their eyes wide in surprise, and then started talking at once.

"Lao Lu, you're crazy! What the hell are you talking to us about when you're drunk?"

"Devil, what devil, Satan? Don't scare me, I believe in God."

"I think the commander is still drunk..."

“It’s true!!!”

The bespectacled man with the supernatural power of clairaudience hugged his head and covered his ears tightly. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown and shouted loudly, "It's true. I heard the devil's words. Only I can hear them. I will die soon. I will definitely be the first to die..."

Ever since he heard the devil's whisper, he fell into endless panic. He had been repeating the same words all night long.

At this moment, he heard a subtle "crunch" sound in the distance. He immediately jumped up and screamed, "The devil is coming! It's in that direction! I can hear it chewing human bones!"

A kilometer away, Shu Maomao, who had just emerged from space and stepped on plastic waste when landing, said: "..."

No one will always believe his mother, but there will always be someone who is deceived by his mother.

Shu Maomao brought Shu Lan back to the space and chose a new landing point. After going out, he stomped his feet and the other party stopped shouting and screaming.

The scene before Shu Lan's eyes kept changing, and she inexplicably went in and out of space. She asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Shu Maomao said with a sour face: "I miscalculated. He can hear it there."

"Oh oh." Shu Lan found it a little funny: "It's okay, baby, even geniuses have to make mistakes."

She considers herself an open-minded and tolerant mother, but Shu Maomao has very high demands on himself. He wants to get 100 points on the test paper given by Huo Yu. Once, Huo Yu misread the answer to a multiple-choice question and did not give him 100 points, but Huo Yu found out quickly, crossed out the original "96" and changed it to "100", and apologized to him.

Shu Maomao disagreed. He burned the test paper that did not get full marks and insisted that Huo Yu write a new test paper by hand. He answered the questions again and was not satisfied until he marked it with a perfect 100.

After watching the whole process, Shu Lan asked him distressedly before going to bed that night: "Is it because you feel pressured to protect Mommy all the time that you are so strong-willed?"

Shu Maomao asked, "What does it feel like to be under pressure?"

Shu Lan said, "It makes you feel very nervous and afraid of making mistakes."

"Oh, there's no pressure protecting Mommy. There's nothing to be afraid of. None of them can fight me."

He snorted in dissatisfaction: "Next time I see Anselin, I will kill her too."

Then Shu Lan understood that her son was simply very competitive.
