When Luo Yi and his sister entered, Liu Hua was already seated in the main seat, facing Shen Nanxing and his two companions, as well as Bai Zhenzhen and her two companions.
Luo Yue immediately ran over and sat down next to Jiang Nian'an, her eyes fixed on Bai Zhenzhen, afraid that she might say something she shouldn't to Jiang Nian'an.
Seeing this, Bai Zhenzhen smiled coldly, but said nothing.
She's not stupid; why would she talk nonsense during a serious discussion?
Besides, she doesn't like Shen Nanxing. Even if the two of them got together, it would just be a family marriage.
As for who Shen Nanxing likes, she doesn't care at all.
Luo Yi sat down with his sister on Shen Nanxing's side.
As soon as she sat down, she heard Jiang Nian'an quietly ask Luo Yue, "Do you have a conflict with her?"
"Sister An'an, it's not that I have a conflict with her, it's just... sob sob—"
Luo Yi quickly covered Luo Yue's mouth and laughed it off, "It's nothing, it's nothing!"
Jiang Nian'an looked at the two people, one who wanted to speak and the other who didn't want her to speak, completely bewildered.
At this moment, Liu Hua spoke up.
"I had only heard of the six families in Beijing before, but I had never seen them. Today, I have seen three of them at once. It is my honor!"
He said a few polite words first, and then, amidst Bai Zhenzhen and Luo Yi's polite smiles, got to the point.
"Here's the thing, we received a distress call from Xing City, and Miss Bai happened to come to inquire about Xing City."
Hearing that both Young Master Shen and Young Master Luo were at our base, they suggested I bring them over as well.
“Even if Chief Liu doesn’t come to me, I will still come to find him.”
Luo Yi smiled and said, "Several members of our Luo family went missing before. I tracked them all the way to Xing City, but in the end, I was led to Shan City by a mutated white vine spider."
"A mutated white vine spider?"
Liu Hua's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly asked, "Was it a giant spider with white vine legs?"
“That’s right!” Luo Yi nodded. “Even Commander Liu knows about it?”
"To be honest, the two people sent by Xing City to ask for help also encountered that mutated white vine spider and were almost killed by it."
Fortunately, they were fast enough to enter the mountain city base before the mutated white vine spider could make its move.
The mutated white vine spider dared not enter the base, so it abandoned the two and ran into the mountains and forests.
Meanwhile, Star City is being attacked by these strange mutated creatures.
The two also said that at first, only one or two strange-looking mutated creatures appeared in Star City.
But at the time, no one took it seriously, treating them as just ordinary mutant creatures.
It wasn't until later, when some superhumans discovered that these mutated creatures could directly extract the energy orbs from their dantian and then devour them, that they began to take the matter seriously.
But it was too late. Almost overnight, those strange mutated creatures sprang up like mushrooms after rain from the cracks at the edge of the star city.
"What did you say?" Jiang Nian'an and the others were shocked at the same time. "It can directly devour the energy spheres of superhumans?"
The reason why people with superpowers are able to live relatively peacefully is because the energy orbs inside their bodies cannot be devoured by mutated creatures.
Many mutated creatures that have gained sentience, after realizing this situation, began to see humans only as food, rather than as necessary prey.
They wouldn't go to great lengths to attack the base or other human settlements.
However, if there are mutated creatures that can directly devour the energy orbs of superhumans, then humanity is in danger.
What they could think of, Liu Hua could also think of.
A deep worry flashed in his eyes.
Upon learning of this, he immediately dispatched people to search for the mutated white vine spider to prevent a situation similar to that in Xing City.
But a day passed, and there was still no news.
"That mutated white vine spider is dead."
Shen Nanxing suddenly spoke up.
His words brought a smile of surprise and disbelief to Liu Hua's face. "Second Young Master Shen, are you serious?"
"Yeah, my girlfriend and I went for a walk in the mountains this morning and happened to run into that mutated white vine spider, so we killed it."
Liu Hua had no doubt about Shen Nanxing's words. She leaned back and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great."
"Although we have killed that mutated white vine spider, we cannot guarantee that there are no mutated creatures like it in the city now."
After all, we've encountered quite a few on our way to the Shanshi base.
Shen Nanxing's words made Liu Hua sit up straight again.
After a long pause, he said somewhat dejectedly, "I wonder where these mutated creatures came from..."
"Man-made."
Luo Yi continued, "Someone is conducting experiments in secret. In addition to experiments between mutated creatures, they are also using humans for experiments."
"What!" Liu Hua jumped to her feet, her expression changing drastically. "Using humans for experiments?"
"Um."
Luo Yi nodded. "Our main objective on this trip is to find those people."
However, there are currently no clues, and they have been lured around by experimental mutant creatures such as the mutated white vine spider.
He chased them all the way from Beijing to here before being lured away by the mutated white vine spider.
Bai Zhenzhen fared much worse than him. First, she was led to Jinshi, then she ran all the way to Haishi, and finally she circled around to Shanshi.
However, the clues and information he obtained were not much different from what he had heard.
"well..."
Liu Hua sighed, "If you hadn't come, and if Xing City hadn't asked for help, I wouldn't have known that such a creature had appeared outside of Shan City."
