"...This isn't right. Even if those scientists have gone crazy from their research, there are still people who are on our side. How could they all hate us?" Ye Tan frowned.
"Is someone behind this instigating it? Is it all just a conspiracy? Look, this is too much of a coincidence. The J virus antibody was destroyed, the base lost power, Brother Long, Po, and Yin Chen happened to be there, and the scientist who forced Po to go to the lab earlier happened to be there too..." Mu Chunfeng analyzed, "All of this is too much of a coincidence."
Sheila seized the opportunity and said, "We can search for evidence and speak. Dr. Long can take me back to the base to find out the truth." And while we're at it, we can also save humanity from the hurricane.
Unfortunately, everyone ignored her.
"It's too late to say anything now." Po shook his head and chuckled, "Heh, if there's a next life, I'd rather not be human anymore. Wouldn't it be better to be an animal like Eryuan Sanliang and Milk Tea?"
Eryuan flicked the tip of its tail and said cautiously, "You're not human anymore..."
Everyone fell silent, then suddenly burst into laughter.
As the rain poured down, they were too lazy to find shelter. Ye Tan flicked his fingers, and a treehouse sprang up from the ground, its roof covering everyone. A spring breeze blew through the ground, drying it off.
People sat on the ground, unconcerned by the occasional tremors.
Leaving the base and shedding the burden of being heroes inexplicably brought them a sense of relief...
There was also a lingering sense of loss.
“What’s the use of merit? I used to read in novels that if you have enough merit, you can become a saint or an ancestor. Look at us, which one of us looks like that?” Zhang Moyu rarely spoke so much. A tired smile appeared on her cold face as she pointed at Er Yuan San Liang: “Putting everything else aside, Er Yuan San Liang hasn’t even turned into human form.”
“Novels are all made up, do you really believe them?” Chen Yanye shook his head, and Yu Duguang put on a serious face and said to Wang Yimo, “Don’t be like your Sister Zhang.”
“Isn’t Brother Long a dragon? It’s not unfounded to say that he can be an immortal.” Cameron argued vehemently.
They were all deliberately trying to forget everything that had just happened, ignoring the impending disaster in J City, and even talking about random, rambling topics. It wasn't that they didn't want to save people, but at that moment, they had just been stabbed in the back by the very people they had been protecting. They didn't have the heart to immediately and without reservation go back to help those people again.
Long Xun had just regained his senses when he heard others talking about how much merit he had accumulated...
Merit...
Long Xun's vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and he turned to look at the group who were trying to find topics to talk about, and suddenly asked, "What...did you just say?"
Po was momentarily stunned and said awkwardly, "Uh... we were discussing how much merit one can gain from saving people? And whether becoming an immortal is even a reliable thing..."
Long Xun raised his hand to cover his face.
It's like looking for a donkey while still riding one.
He even made the mistake of looking for a better option while still using one.
A low chuckle leaked from the edge of his palm, gradually growing louder and louder.
They exchanged anxious glances, and Ye Tan cautiously asked, "Brother Long, are you alright?"
"It's nothing... Hahahaha!"
Long Xun lowered his hand, and silver scales appeared and disappeared on both sides of his forehead.
The white brocade robe of the Hidden Sword Set fluttered wildly, and his long silver hair danced wildly as well. Long Xun stood on the flat ground, but suddenly it felt as if he was standing on the top of a mountain, facing the endless sea of clouds, standing tall and upright.
"Awooo—!"
A powerful dragon roar suddenly erupted, and an enormous silver dragon soared into the sky, shattering the roof of the newly built treehouse.
A group of people, bewildered and disoriented in the torrential rain, stared dumbfounded as the dragon coiled and danced in the rain, its enormous body continuing to grow larger and larger...
It blotted out the sky, even scattering the clouds, and even in the distant city of J, the entire province of J, and even the whole country... it was all shrouded in the shadow of this dragon.
It was terrifyingly huge and suffocating.
But it is still getting bigger.
