18. "Destroy" the beast
The man clasped his hands on his knees, said "hmm" softly, and then asked her, "You really have no impression of me at all?"
Su Liu recalled carefully.
She also felt that the man's voice was actually a little familiar, and his green eyes, which were more dazzling than emerald, were very impressive because they were relatively rare.
But too much has happened recently, and her brain capacity is not enough to store so much information.
"Should we meet?"
"No," the man changed his tone and asked again, "Vion of the Ives family is more terrifying than the devil. How could you offend him?"
Su Liu twisted his neck easily, sat down opposite the man, and said, "To be honest, I'm running away from my marriage."
The man asked, "With whom?"
"One of the three young masters of that family."
The man gave her an unreadable look.
"Is it confusing?" Su Liu said, "For someone like me to be able to marry the son of the Ives family, I should be grateful and kneel down to wait for the arrangements, right?"
Instead, the man smiled, and the upturned corners of his mouth swept away the icy cold aura around him.
"Those three people are all weird in their own way, and none of them are good people. You made the right choice."
Su Liu was convinced that he had a grudge against the Ives family, so he agreed casually.
"That's right. I guarantee there's something wrong with all three of them. It's either the top one or the bottom one. You have to choose between mental retardation and impotence."
The man's smile froze for a moment, and after a while he continued to ask, "Why did Weiwen force you?"
Su Liu smiled bitterly, "I know the reason, there must be something fishy."
She should have secretly opened her father's letter and read it. Now she doesn't need to worry about how her father "threatened" Victor and made such an absurd decision.
The private airship flew for a long time, and the night faded away, giving way to the day.
When the dawn appeared in the sky, the man's adjutant came into the cabin and whispered something to the man.
The man frowned slightly, then said to Su Liu, "Sorry, something unexpected happened. Do you mind taking you back to the military academy later?"
Su Liu skipping classes has become a normal thing. "It doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry to go to class anyway."
The private airship changed direction and flew towards a city thousands of kilometers away.
From a distance, Su Liu saw countless tornado-like black smoke rising around the city. Those were the traces of battle left after the military exchanged fire with the alien plants.
The closer we got, the more terrifying the situation became.
To the west of the city, a giant infected plant appeared, blocking out the sun.
Its body was crawling on the ground, so huge that it spread over hundreds of miles, bringing waves stronger than earthquakes, making the earth undulate like waves, and destroying countless buildings.
Countless thorny black-green branches grew from the main body, which were hundreds or even thousands of meters long. They waved wildly in the sky, and each blow brought with it a strong airflow that could penetrate the clouds.
Even though he was at a great distance, Su Liu felt his breathing quicken due to the pressure of the huge alien plant.
It was like a giant octopus monster shrouding the sea, with its blood-red eyes wide open in the thick fog, looking down with contempt and arrogance at the humans fleeing in the city.
If it weren't for the psychics trying their best to stop it, there is no doubt that it would have entered the city and slaughtered tens of millions of civilians.
The private airship landed outside the makeshift combat headquarters. The man quickly changed into his military uniform and strode towards the command room, greeted by other officers.
He had long legs and walked very fast, so Su Liu had to jog to barely keep up with him, like a little rabbit skipping behind its teacher with a small schoolbag on its back.
Those who appeared at the combat headquarters were undoubtedly military leaders who gathered here to deal with this sudden disaster. Many of them were bigwigs that Su Liu had only seen in the news.
These people were surprisingly respectful to the man. They saluted first and then followed behind him, quickly explaining the current situation.
"Three hours ago, an unidentified alien plant suddenly appeared in Nanjin City. The initial assessment of the beast's owner's level is 'Destroy'. The situation is currently not under effective control. In less than an hour, it will break through the blockade and enter the city."
It is difficult to completely eliminate the beast owner of the "extinction" level disaster. Even if there is only a seed or a fragment that is difficult to see with the naked eye, it can still come back to life.
The best way is to first have the psychics defeat it to a very weak level, and then have the purifiers purify it to completely remove the strange factors that caused it to mutate.
This way it can return to its original state and no longer pose a threat to humans.
The man asked calmly, "Where's the Purifier?"
"We have urgently summoned B-level and above purification technicians to the battlefield. Headquarters is searching the biological database, striving to identify the alien plant species as quickly as possible."
It is difficult to purify the alien plant without knowing its appearance.
After the officers entered the command room, Su Liu became an unattended wanderer and had to find a corner in the busy hall where people were coming and going and squat quietly.
There are dozens of large screens in the hall, playing real-time images of the alien plant.
Its already shockingly huge body continued to expand, its roots continued to penetrate deep into the ground and stir the earth, making a rumbling sound like an earthquake lingering in the sky.
The sunlight was also blocked by it. What should have been a bright day was now as dim as a thunderous night with an impending rainstorm.
The situation in the city is even more grim. The citizens have been frightened and are trying to flee the city with their families.
Every avenue in the city was jammed with traffic, and the red lights on the tailgates of cars formed a vast ocean. Some people took advantage of the chaos to burn, kill, and loot.
Under extreme fear, anger was magnified, and there were car accidents and fights everywhere. The already limited armed forces had to be dispatched to maintain order.
If this continues, the city will be the first to collapse.
The research experts in the hall were using the most powerful operating programs to quickly search various biological databases, but they were still unable to determine what the alien plant was.
The purifiers were also on standby, each of them as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Su Liu looked at the big screen, trying hard to figure out what that thing was.
It looks a bit like a forked coral, but coral doesn't have "leaves".
From the "branch", it looks very much like a cypress, but the cypress has a trunk, while the body of the alien plant is crawling directly on the ground.
She felt that it was most likely a close relative of the cypress tree, and if she continued to think carefully about it, she might come up with a conclusion. As she was racking her brains, Zhang Yanchen and Lin Roufang, who had been summoned to the scene, both saw her.
"Su Liu?" Zhang Yanchen was utterly shocked. He walked over and barked, "You're not dead yet?"
When they suddenly met at this time, Su Liu's originally calm heart was suddenly stirred up.
God knows how much she wanted to pick up a stool and smash it hard on Zhang Yanchen's head, but she had just formed a clue in her mind, and if she was interrupted at this moment, she would definitely slip away.
She stroked her chin and continued to ponder, temporarily ignoring Zhang Yanchen.
Lin Roufang also came over, took Zhang Yanchen's arm and comforted him tenderly, "Yanchen, don't be like this. Let's send Liuliu to a safe place first."
Zhang Yanchen was furious. "How can I care about her? Look at her, she's like an idiot, only causing trouble for others! People like her are a waste of air. Why don't they just die on K-72?"
