Chapter 135 Thinking it was a dream
Sui Cheng never expected that he would fall asleep in Lu Zhi's arms like this.
Perhaps it was out of habit that he felt particularly at ease in Lu Zhi's arms.
As he got up, the vines bound his waist, and Lu Zhi woke up along with him.
He opened his eyes and stared intently at the person in the carriage, his gaze deep, as if he were deep in thought.
After he got up, he slowly said, "I almost thought I was dreaming."
The attendant glanced at him and said, "Then you can continue sleeping."
"Hmm?" Lu Zhi asked him with his eyes, "Why?"
The passenger said with a hint of amusement, "Let's see if this is a dream within a dream."
Lu Zhi also laughed and said, "I'll accept it even if it's a dream."
Only he knows how he spent the past two weeks away from his chariot.
The overwhelming longing almost killed him, and he was also afraid that Suicheng would be sad if he woke up and didn't see him. But in reality, Suicheng was calmer than he imagined, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart.
When Suicheng pushed open the door, he almost thought he was dreaming. Afraid that Suicheng would be scared of his current appearance, he suppressed the urge to hug the person and put on a cold expression, but in the end, he failed.
"It's not safe outside." Seeing him about to leave again, Lu Zhi couldn't help but remind him.
It was called a reminder, but it was more like a plea to stay.
Sui Cheng turned to look at him and said softly, "I just want to go and see what's going on outside. After all, I'll be staying here for a while, and I need to find Chen Jiang and the others to bring me some supplies. I can't just go without eating."
Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, his voice already hoarse: "You're going to stay here?"
"If I'm not staying here, where do you want me to go?" the attendant asked him in return.
The law enforcement officer couldn't answer, and of course he wanted to stay with the passenger.
"Okay, I'll be back soon." Sui Cheng's words sounded like he was coaxing him.
"Oh." Lu Zhi watched him leave, but after a while he still felt unwilling, and a vine shot out.
The passenger, who was going downstairs, noticed something and turned around to see a vine rushing towards him and then, as always, wrapping around his wrist.
"Law enforcement?"
The passenger called to him, but he did not respond.
...
I took a ride around the neighborhood and found that many of the alien species didn't dare to approach the community, mostly because they were afraid of the law enforcement.
However, he also discovered quite a few fresh corpses.
Given the current situation in Xinghai City, it's impossible for people with superpowers to enter, so these aliens must have been aliens themselves.
He squeezed the vines on his wrist and asked, "Did you do all this?"
"Hmm." Lu Zhi's deep voice came, and after a few seconds, he explained to him, "It took some time to condense the body, and I borrowed their crystal cores."
This is absolutely life-threatening; is it really appropriate to use this word?
After traveling most of the way, I felt that I couldn't just walk out like this, as it would be a waste of time, so I started searching the vicinity and found a bicycle in a parking lot.
Yes, he can borrow it for a while.
He had just broken the lock on the car when he heard the sound behind him. He immediately struck backward with a lightning bolt, sending one of the alien creatures flying.
"Has your baby's superpower gotten stronger again?" Lu Zhi's tone finally returned to its former carefree and nonchalant manner.
The passenger replied, "I made a breakthrough after waking up."
Lu Zhi remembered that before he "died," his companion's supernatural power had gone out of control. He checked on the companion while he was asleep and thankfully there were no aftereffects, otherwise he would have been heartbroken.
"Are all these vines yours?" You can see vines all along the way; it really is like the whole city is covered in vines.
“Yes, the roots have taken hold in the deepest part of Xinghai City. After absorbing energy, they are continuing to grow.” Lu Zhi said in a slightly deep voice, “But don’t worry, once the body is fully formed, it will no longer be the original human body. It will be able to contain all the power. At that time, I will collect all these vines.”
Sui Cheng paused for a moment and said, "So, from now on, you'll be using your original body?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lu Zhi sensed something was off about his tone.
Sui Cheng figured he would find out sooner or later, so he told him about the situation at the base.
"Did they make things difficult for you?" Upon hearing that his identity had been completely exposed, Lu Zhi's first reaction was that the people at the base would definitely make things difficult for Sui Cheng, and his tone became fierce.
"It's not meant to be difficult, just a normal inquiry," Sui Cheng said calmly. "You can stay by my side without worry, as long as you don't do anything excessive."
"I thought they would lock me in a lab," said the lawyer.
“That’s what they think, but I’m your designated guardian now, and you’re under my jurisdiction.” When Sui Cheng said the last four words, his tone became a bit stronger, which made Lu Zhi feel very complicated, but he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
...
"The captain is out!" Chen Jiang and the others had been waiting outside for news from the accompanying passenger. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him come out safe and sound.
"Did you find it?" Yang Xie asked him.
He nodded, but did not explain the current situation of the law enforcement officer to them in detail.
Chen Jiang and the others were sensible enough not to ask.
"I'll be staying here for a while longer, you can go back first," the attendant said. "I just need you to send me some supplies every week."
Yang Xie glanced at the emerald green vines on his wrist and asked, "How long?"
"About a month? I'm not sure," the passenger said, pursing his lips.
Yang Xie thought for a moment and said, "Recently, the base has been taking over nearby cities, and many people have already moved out. The closest city to Xinghai is Jiangba, where there happens to be a base. We'll go there and wait for you, and deliver supplies to you every week."
What he meant was that they wouldn't be going back, and whether it was because of accompanying the emperor or enforcing the law, their mission wasn't complete.
"This is a signal flare. Report immediately if anything happens." Yang Xie took out a lot of things from the supply bag and asked the passengers what they needed.
After thinking it over, Sui Cheng realized that food and fresh water were definitely needed. He didn't know if the water and electricity in the neighborhood were still working, and he also needed clothes and other daily necessities.
Yang Xie wrote all of this down and nodded, saying, "Then I'll send it to you tomorrow."
He glanced at Chen Jiang and the others, took two steps forward, and whispered to the attendant, "How is he?"
"It's nothing serious," the attendant said, looking down. "You should be able to tell by looking at the vines in the city."
"good."
After Yang Xie and the others left, Sui Cheng looked at his bicycle and slapped his forehead. He should have asked Yang Xie to get him a bicycle!
Yang Xie probably guessed it too, so he brought an extra car the next day, filled with the things his attendant needed. He handed the car keys to his attendant and added, "The higher-ups have given you instructions to report on Xinghai City once a week, mainly concerning law enforcement. Are you sure you're okay with that?"
The passenger nodded: "No problem."
In his view, there was nothing worth reporting; he could just make up a couple of lines.
