Chapter 201 Elopement, Just You and Me
Early in the morning, in November, a thick fog rolled in, enveloping the entire city, making it impossible to see a person more than a meter away.
Today is Saturday, school is closed, and the lawyer can finally stay in bed with his companion.
But not long after I lay down, a small black hole appeared in the sky, and I fell steadily from it like a cannonball. Just as I was about to land on the bed, I was caught by the ivy on the balcony.
"Waaah!" After struggling twice, Wenwen was hit on the buttocks by the vines.
Wenwen's eyes were filled with tears. When he looked up, he saw his father leaning his head and looking at him with a mocking smile in his eyes.
The tears that I had been holding back suddenly burst forth.
Sui Cheng stirred, as if he had been woken up. Lu Zhi covered his ears and used a mental barrier to block him out.
"It's alright, go back to sleep." Lu Zhi lowered his head and kissed Sui Cheng's lips. After Sui Cheng fell asleep again, he got out of bed, picked up the disobedient little brat, and went out.
"How many times have I told you not to come in like this? Your dad needs to rest, and you'll disturb him." Not content with just verbal reprimands, Lu Zhi slapped him on the butt.
The fair and adorable little bun puffed up, and the tears it held fell silently.
“The snow outside,” Wenwen said, pointing to the window with a wronged expression, “The snow outside carries energy; it might be a mutation.”
"Snow" Lu Zhi frowned. What he was looking at was not snow, but only a vast expanse of fog.
As soon as he pushed open the door, a gust of cold wind swept in, and fog and snow rushed towards him. Lu Zhi reached out and used a barrier to block the snowflakes, but some still landed on his shoulders.
When Lu Zhi released his spiritual power, he found that the fog was very strange and that even his spiritual power could not penetrate it.
However, the fog is not dangerous, and the components in the snow are not harmful to the human body.
The base was on high alert for several days, but the persistent fog made them very uneasy.
The unexpected happened: a large group of alien species broke into the Eighth District, but strangely, they did not attack the people of the Eighth District. Instead, they all headed in one direction.
The person leading the group was an old acquaintance who had accompanied them. When he discovered that the aliens had gone to the coffee shop, he instinctively felt that they were there to see Law Enforcer.
Upon arriving at the coffee shop, he had the crowd dispersed. Just as he was about to contact his chauffeur, he discovered that the aliens were kneeling down at the coffee shop entrance.
"Tsk." Lawyer looked down from the second floor and clicked his tongue coldly. He said in a detached tone, "Trespassing into the Eighth District, are you courting death?"
"My lord, please save us!" The leader of the strange half-human, half-beast creatures exuded a powerful aura, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before it could fully transform into human form.
Lu Zhi didn't want to get involved, but before he could speak, the alien species said again, "This heavy snow is strange; it's absorbing the crystal cores within the alien species' bodies!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Zhi felt manipulated, and lowered his raised hand, his expression grave.
"At first, no one noticed, but when snow gets on it, it emits a strange energy, and the energy of the crystal core inside the body is transferred away by this force," the alien said.
The law enforcement officer asked, "Is this true for all different species?"
The alien said, "We are currently living in Longhu Gorge, a thousand miles away from the base. There is no fog or snow there, but as soon as we get close to the fog, that situation will occur."
"Isn't that simple?" Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a big crisis. "You just need to stay there and behave yourselves."
"But, but there's not enough food there," the alien said pitifully.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Zhi sent the vines striking the alien creature directly on the head.
Before the alien could react, it was berated by the law enforcement officer.
“You’ve been eating too well. This fog will dissipate in a few days. It’s just crystal cores, not your lives.” Lu Zhi saw through the aliens’ plans at a glance and squinted, “You just want me to help you seize a piece of territory.”
Their plan was discovered, and fearing that the law enforcement officers would take action against them, they lay on the ground trembling.
"Get out!" Lu Zhi rolled up the several alien creatures and threw them out.
The alien sensed his immense power and was so frightened that it immediately left the Eighth District.
After they left, Lu Zhi glanced at the group of people surrounding the coffee shop, his gaze settling on the person at the front.
"Captain Feng, why don't you hurry up and follow them? Those mutants aren't so well-behaved."
As the saying goes, rivals in love are bound to be jealous of each other, and Lu Zhi never gave Feng Bai a kind look whenever he saw him.
Feng Bai wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything. He chased after the alien species in the direction it had left.
After everyone had left, Lu Zhi reached out and caught a snowflake falling from the sky, murmuring, "A crystal core? Perhaps this is a good thing."
Without crystal cores, humans no longer need to hunt alien species and use their crystal cores for cultivation.
After class, Lu Zhi told him about it.
"There are no more crystal cores?" Sui Cheng felt this was a big deal and immediately told Dang Hongyuan the news.
A short while later, Dang Hongyuan replied, indicating that he understood.
A year has passed quickly, and 2036 has quietly arrived.
On the first day of the new year, the fog dissipated, the heavy snow stopped, and the world was refreshed.
Sui Cheng woke up earlier than Lu Zhi and found the man against his back, his hand holding his.
He turned over and faced him, carefully examining Lu Zhi with his eyes, feeling that this man was becoming more and more like a decent human being.
If you do the math, they've known each other for almost five years.
For the lawyer, this marks the fifth year since their reunion.
He noticed something unusual on his hand. When he raised his hand to look, he found a very thin vine had climbed up his wrist, wrapped around his ring finger, and turned into the shape of a ring.
"When did you wake up?" the attendant asked the man who still had his eyes closed.
With a forceful pull from the waist, Sui Cheng half-reclined onto Lu Zhi's bare chest.
Lu Zhi raised his other hand, his fingertips gently stroking Sui Cheng's hair, his chest trembling, and let out a muffled laugh: "I woke up when Cheng Cheng was peeking at me."
“This.” The attendant raised his hand to show him the vines in his hand.
Lu Zhi gently kissed the top of his head and whispered, "The great cataclysm is over, and the world has stabilized. The alien species' crystal cores have completely disappeared, and they are trapped outside the base, afraid to approach. As for here, with the superpower school here, nothing will happen."
Sui Cheng got up, looked at him, and asked, "What do you mean by saying these things?"
Lu Zhi chuckled and said, "Want to elope with me?"
His eyes were bright and full of expectation, like deep green gems, making him very endearing.
Sui Cheng hugged his neck, her smile barely concealed, her eyes half-closed: "Where are we eloping to?"
"Anywhere is fine, I can go anywhere I want, as long as you and I are together."
Until noon, Sui Ling noticed that no one had come downstairs, and she was very puzzled, thinking that her two brothers had stayed in bed again.
By the afternoon, she finally couldn't resist and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.
She finally realized something was wrong and quickly opened the door.
The house was empty; the people had disappeared sometime earlier. The windows were wide open, and even the ivy on the balcony had vanished.
There was a note on the table with ugly handwriting on it.
"We eloped, don't worry."
