Chapter 108 The Return Journey
The ghost vine lost its offensive power, and its branches withered as if their life force had been drained.
Those who follow the emperor know that most of them are involved in the enforcement of the law.
"Finally solved." Chen Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on the ground.
After a fierce battle, they had all expended a great deal of energy.
The vines of the Ghost Vine drooped to the ground. The vines of the Law Enforcement saw the crystal core inside the Ghost Vine. After thinking for a few seconds, they refrained from attacking the crystal core.
"This is the crystal core of a super-powered species."
The deep green crystal core fell to the ground, radiating powerful energy, and my tired body felt somewhat relieved.
Wearing protective gloves, Dang Hongyuan picked up the crystal core and placed it in a black box, along with the atomic energy cannon.
"Walk."
They had to retreat quickly.
Although Ming Tongguang and his group have left the city, it does not prove that they are safe.
Dang Hongyuan's heart was never at peace; he always felt that something was waiting for them.
The vehicle sped towards the highway outside the city.
They all closed their eyes to rest, quickly restoring their superpowers.
"Ahem." Lu Zhi coughed twice and half-embraced his attendant, saying, "You should rest for a while."
The attendant glanced at his somewhat pale face and frowned, asking, "How are you feeling?"
Lu Zhi raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't do anything."
The servant stared at him silently, his eyes dark and inky.
The lawyer felt a little guilty being stared at so intently.
He touched the tip of his nose. The energy of the ghost vine was being absorbed by him and was surging through his body, held up only by his strong willpower.
“Lying.” The attendant grabbed his wrist and could feel his body trembling involuntarily.
The lawyer glanced ahead.
They sat at the very back of the car, the two of them huddled together next to Tan Qingjia, who was already asleep.
Zhang Meng was driving, and Chen Jiang was in the passenger seat.
In other words, nobody is paying attention to them right now.
Lu Zhi's lips curled into a wicked smile as he leaned closer to Sui Cheng and whispered, "You've absorbed quite a bit of energy; you're feeling a bit full."
The attendant frowned: "What should we do then?"
“I can find someone to share the burden.” Lu Zhi looked at him expectantly.
Accompanying passenger: "..."
He was silent for a few seconds, then tilted his head slightly and asked, "What do I need to do?"
With his plan succeeding, Lu Zhi could barely suppress the smile on his face. He hugged Sui Cheng tighter and said, "I'll transfer it to you and help you restore your energy."
Before the attendant could ask, he leaned in and kissed him, inadvertently prying open his lips.
The energy was directly "transferred" into the body of the passenger.
He originally intended to push the person away, but upon sensing the continuous flow of energy, he stopped.
His previously depleted supernatural abilities gradually replenished, and his physical fatigue was also dispelled.
Seeing that he was gradually becoming docile, Lu Zhi's smile became more pronounced, and he hugged him even tighter.
His movements were gentle and slow, as if he were truly channeling energy into his passenger, but his tongue went too deep.
"Cough!" Sui Cheng finally couldn't help but push him away, his ears already bright red, making Lu Zhi unable to look away.
"Bastard!" the attendant cursed under his breath.
Lu Zhi laughed foolishly; his team leader was so cute, he thought of the sun.
Tan Qingjia, who was next to her, had already woken up. She quietly shrank her neck, having just watched the whole thing with her eyes half-closed, and now her heart was pounding.
She had thought she would be discovered, but Lu Zhi only glanced at her and then ignored her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
After calming down, Tan Qingjia could barely suppress her smile, so she turned to the side and covered her face with her arm.
The dog food smells so good!
She suddenly understood the joy Lin Zhi experienced when she shipped couples.
Yang Xie sent a waiting signal to Ming Tongguang and the others.
They were following a pre-planned route, and if they sped up, they could catch up quickly.
"Party brigade, captain, over here!"
About an hour later, we finally met up with Ming Tongguang and the others.
The first thing Dang Hongyuan did was to inquire about Xuan Linwen's situation.
Ming Tongguang glanced in the direction of the car and said in a low voice, "He has always been very well-behaved."
Not only was it well-behaved, it even started chatting with Cui Xiuyuan and the black cat.
"What about Xiangyang?" Yang Xie asked about his son's situation.
Ming Tongguang said, "We were able to get out safely and quickly thanks to his mental barrier on the way. He's asleep now."
Yang Xie strode over, opened the car door, lifted Dang Xiangyang out, and put her in his car. Then he said to Dang Hongyuan, "Take Xiangyang to that car. Ming Tongguang and I will watch over Xuan Linwen and the others."
"Need not."
The request to raise evil spirits was rejected.
Dang Xiangyang was shoved into Yang Xie's arms again, and Dang Hongyuan said, "You've used up quite a bit of your superpowers, I'll keep an eye on things."
Yang Xie held Dang Xiangyang and looked at Dang Hongyuan expressionlessly.
The atmosphere seemed to have turned sour.
Ming Tongguang raised his hand and said, "Let's go to the Party team and the nursing team together. I'll go to Ai Ling's place."
"Alright."
…
They headed straight for the base, stopping for the night at an abandoned service station along the highway.
Long journeys are commonplace for them, and everyone is used to this kind of life.
Just as dawn broke, I glanced at the map and saw that we were still over a hundred kilometers from the base, so we were basically safe.
But he also found it strange.
If the embryo in Xuan Linwen's hands is so important to them, why have they only encountered one wave of attacks so far?
As he pondered, he looked outside.
The mental device was wrapped in vines by Lu Zhi and then worn on Sui Cheng's wrist. The vines released Lu Zhi's mental power, which relaxed Sui Cheng's tense nerves a little.
The person next to him moved, and Lu Zhi grabbed the wrist of the person in the carriage.
He turned his head to look and saw that Lu Zhi's eyes were not open. He mumbled to him, "Store some mental energy."
This seems to have become a habit of those who adhere to the law.
But after thinking about it, I realized that it should more accurately be described as an instinct for species marking.
Yesterday, when Tan Qingjia was joking with them, he mentioned that Sui Cheng was filled with the spiritual energy of the Law Enforcement.
What's the difference between this and a tag?
"Bang bang."
There was a knock on the car window. Yang Xie stood outside and waited for the passenger to open the window before saying, "Stop here for a while. There are some strange creatures ahead. You and I will go and investigate."
"Hmm." Suicheng nodded and hurriedly prepared to get off the car. He had just moved when Lu Zhi pulled him back. When he looked back, he saw that the other person was already awake.
"Come back soon." Lu Zhi rubbed his eyes, his words sounding like a wife telling her husband who was about to go out to work.
The passenger awkwardly pinched his ear, gave a soft reply, and left.
…
There were indeed aliens about two or three kilometers away. After dealing with them, the crew even checked the aliens for identification numbers to confirm that they were not controlled by the new generation.
But as soon as he got up, he saw a strange fragment under the alien creature, like a piece of a billboard stuck to its body.
This wasn't something that would normally attract attention, but then I caught a glimpse of the words on the billboard.
Nanning City
The passenger felt something was off.
The billboards at highway entrances usually display local advertisements, but Nanning is far from where they are now. Although it's the same highway, it's at least a hundred kilometers away.
Why are these alien species here?
