Chapter 153: Beating
"Bang--!"
In a flash, Lu Yan pulled off the tongue that was entangled around his neck and threw him over his shoulder with his backhand. There was a dull "bang" and Lu Xiaozhao's body hit the ground heavily. Spider-web-like cracks appeared on the tiles in an instant.
"roar!"
Lu Xiaozhao let out an angry roar, and his whole body turned into a ball of black smoke and quickly rushed towards Lu Yan. Lu Yan originally wanted to use his lightning power, but was afraid of beating Lu Xiaozhao to death, so he had to forcibly disperse the lightning condensed in his palm, and started a chase and hide battle with the opponent in the small room.
"Damn it! Lu Xiaozhao, are you going to rebel?"
Lu Yan cursed coldly. He was still watching other people's excitement during the day, but he didn't expect that it would be his turn when he turned around. He quickly turned his hands and gathered his strength. A dense blue-purple electric grid immediately appeared in front of him, just wrapping up Lu Xiaozhao who was flying over. The other party fell to the ground and struggled in pain, like a large silkworm pupa.
Seeing that Lu Xiaozhao was restrained, Lu Yan grabbed his neck with lightning speed. Lu Xiaozhao's eyes were dilated, a long scarlet tongue stuck out of his mouth, and his legs had turned into a ball of black smoke, clearly the appearance of a symbiote!
Lu Yan's face was solemn, and he patted his face hard: "Lu Xiaozhao, wake up!"
Not only did Lu Xiaozhao not wake up after hearing this, but he turned around and bit Lu Yan's wrist, staring at him fiercely with his eyes, like a mad dog.
“Bang!”
Lu Yan slapped him directly on the head and said, "Damn, this kid is hopeless."
Now the patrol team is searching the whole city for the symbiote. Even a fool knows that nothing good will happen if they are caught. Lu Yan can only use his supernatural powers to temporarily tie up Lu Xiaozhao to prevent the noise from attracting reports from the neighbors, even though almost all the residents on their floor are dead.
"How did he suddenly become a wanderer?"
This was the first time Lu Yan encountered such a situation. He subconsciously asked the system for help. His black and red heart floated in the air, and the cold mechanical sound inexplicably gave him a sense of happiness in the face of misfortune:
[He didn't suddenly become a wanderer, he was a wanderer from the beginning, but he woke up early because of the red sun phenomenon.]
Lu Yan's pupils shrank for a moment when he heard this, and he obviously didn't expect this answer: "What did you say, Lu Xiaozhao is a wanderer?!"
The system's body floated up and down for a moment, tacitly agreeing: [I can't explain the specific reason, but Lu Xiaozhao is indeed a wanderer, and his level is very high. He can already completely disguise himself as a human. He accidentally encountered the red sun phenomenon and then revealed his true form.]
Lu Yan's face looked a little ugly: "Can he still wake up?"
System: [The red sun caused his energy to become restless. Once the red sun disappears, he will naturally return to normal.]
The system's answer made Lu Yan feel relieved. It was good that he could change back. If he couldn't change back, he really didn't know what to do. No wonder Lu Xiaozhao usually slept during the day and was awake at night. He thought it was because he stayed up late, but it turned out that he was just a wanderer.
Lu Yan locked the doors and windows tightly, and decided not to go out for the next few days until the red sun phenomenon had passed. The news said that Sky City would increase the number of psychics to carry out large-scale cleanup, and he would have no place to cry if he was shot.
The night in Devil City is always hopeless and dead silent, but I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but tonight the whole city is echoing with miserable cries and screams. Perhaps at this moment, many people are like Lu Xiaozhao, becoming unrecognizable in the darkness.
Xing Yuan stayed at home as usual tonight.
Although this strange astronomical phenomenon does not pose much threat to him, it makes his dormant blood a little restless, and he longs for blood and killing from the bottom of his heart. The Monitoring Institute has issued an order to send out a large-scale search for the whereabouts of the symbiote, because they are not sure whether this situation will be contagious.
Once all the residents of Devil City die, Sky City will also fall into paralysis, just like yin and yang, good and evil, which seem to have nothing to do with each other, but actually complement and coexist with each other.
Xing Yuan collapsed into the massage chair with a lack of interest. The scarlet moonlight from outside the floor-to-ceiling window shone through the glass, casting a shadow on his fair skin. He looked like a handsome and gloomy vampire from the legends of the ancient times.
Xing Yuan half-closed his eyes, and thought of Lu Yan unexpectedly. He picked up his phone and sent him a message for the first time: [Don't go out in the next few days, the symbiote is very dangerous. ]
In fact, the entire Devil City is very dangerous, but it is impossible for him to bring the other party to the Sky City, so it seems unnecessary to say this.
Lu Yan was sitting in front of his computer editing a video. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the news. He didn't expect Phantom to be still awake at three in the morning. He glanced at Lu Xiaozhao who was lying on the floor tied up like a caterpillar. The other party was gnawing at the table legs angrily because he couldn't bite Lu Yan, just like a woodpecker.
Well, it is dangerous indeed.
When Lu Yan saw Lu Xiaozhao's look, he remembered that the system had said that he would have an online romance with a strong man from Sky City in the future. He didn't know what had happened to that strong man in his previous life that he actually fell in love with a wanderer with a strong taste.
Lu Yan was somewhat happy about the misfortune. He temporarily stopped his work and took the time to write back to Xing Yuan: [It's so late, why haven't you rested yet? ]
They both have trouble sleeping, and it's rare for them to get together when they're bored.
Xing Yuan asked back: [Didn’t you also not sleep? ]
Lu Yan was very sweet when he was coaxing people: [Didn’t you say that I’ll be there whenever you call me?]
Xing Yuan chuckled, thinking that he was quite obedient. He remembered that Lu Yan's hand was injured, and it was probably inconvenient for him to type. He didn't know if it was because he was lonely and bored late at night, but suddenly a bold idea popped up in his mind: [How about we chat for a while on the phone? ]
Ten seconds after sending the message, Xing Yuan subconsciously wanted to withdraw it. He had a vague feeling that if he made the call, it might break through a layer of window paper, and it would not be easy to break it later. However, before he could make a move, his cell phone rang, indicating that there was a voice call coming from the other end.
“Buzz——”
A slight vibration sound rang out in the room, which seemed a little abrupt. Xing Yuan stared at the screen of his mobile phone expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, he pressed the answer button at the last second before the ringing sound was about to end.
There was some noise on the other end of the phone, but it was quiet after a few seconds. A deep male voice sounded from the other side, sounding a little hoarse and tired, and exuding an indescribable sexiness in the quiet night: "What do you want to talk about?"
The voice is fucking nice, and very young.
Xing Yuan actually felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this voice. He subconsciously turned off the function button of the massage chair, sat up slightly, and thought for a moment before uttering a sentence: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Yan was actually a little curious when he made the voice call. After all, they had been friends for such a long time, and he knew nothing about Phantom's height, appearance, and age. The voice coming from the other end of the phone was obviously that of a young man, with an indifferent tone and a hint of arrogance.
Very good, not a grandpa.
Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. If the person opposite him was an old man with a scruffy beard, it would be too strange for him to greet him good morning and good night every day. Although it was a money transaction, who wouldn't want to chat with a handsome guy?
"My brother is sick and I have to take care of him."
Xing Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Where are your parents?"
Lu Yan put on his headphones, leaned back in his chair and chatted with his eyes closed: "He died a long time ago. I live with my brother. How about you?"
As if he was afraid that Xing Yuan would be embarrassed, he followed up with another question.
Xing Yuan automatically imagined Lu Yan as a poor cabbage farmer. However, he had always been a loner and could not understand the concept of family affection. "I live alone."
Lu Yan guessed the answer. This guy has a bad temper. No one can stand living with him. "Has a symbiote appeared in Sky City?"
Xing Yuan curled his lips slightly, and said sarcastically: "There are enough superpowers in Sky City. Even if there are a thousand or ten thousand symbiotes, they will be dealt with by the patrol team soon. What you need to worry about is Devil City. Before the red sun disappears, you'd better not step out of your house."
Xing Yuan himself is a wanderer, so he knows very well that in the next period of time, the wanderers will come out to hunt at all times of day and night, which is tantamount to a devastating disaster for the humans living in the Devil City.
Lu Yan could tell that the other party was reminding him, although the tone was not pleasant: "I know, thank you for the reminder."
He paused and added, "You should also pay attention to safety."
This was the first time someone had said this to Xing Yuan. After all, he was known to be very strong, and it was usually others who needed to pay attention to their safety. However, this feeling was not too bad. He raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Where do you live? Give me the address."
Lu Yan laughed and asked with interest, "Why, are you planning to come over and meet me in person?"
“…”
Xing Yuan didn't say anything. He actually had no interest in face-to-face dating. But maybe it was because Lu Yan's voice and hands were too attractive, he couldn't help but feel a little curious from the bottom of his heart and wanted to know what the other person looked like.
I am curious, but also afraid of being exposed to the light.
For the first time, Xing Yuan felt that online chatting was a hassle. He turned his phone to the other side, frowned and thought for a moment before finding a reason: "Tomorrow Sky City will send a special power team to Devil City to clear out wanderers. Which district do you live in? I'll ask them to clean up the place."
This is considered "special care".
Lu Yan paused when he heard this, and asked subconsciously, "Are you also a superpower?"
Xing Yuan raised his eyes calmly: "Why, not like?"
Although he couldn't see his face through the screen, Lu Yan felt that the other party's current posture must be very much like a cat, and an arrogant cat at that. He didn't think it was strange, after all, those who could take root in Sky City had some strength, and he sincerely flattered his sponsor: "Phantom, you are more powerful than I thought."
His voice was already deep, and the English nickname swirled around his tongue before coming out, like a lover whispering in his ear. Xing Yuan felt half of his ear go numb, and couldn't help but blush. His eyes darkened, and he asked in an ambiguous tone, "Do you know what kind of people I hate the most in my life?"
Lu Yan became interested: "Which one?"
Xing Yuan sneered: "You are such a smooth talker."
Lu Yan: “…”
Xing Yuan said he hated it, but his body was very honest. He held his phone and chatted slowly with Lu Yan until dawn. Perhaps he was too bored to be alone in the long years, or perhaps he lacked someone like Lu Yan who could give him emotional value. In addition to hunting wanderers, Xing Yuan's list of ways to relieve his boredom now had another item added for the first time -
Chatted with Lu Yan all night.
But unfortunately, the other party was as cunning as a fox, and even after chatting for such a long time, he was unable to get his specific address. Instead, Xing Yuan was unknowingly tricked by Lu Yan into giving him a lot of information.
After hanging up the phone, Xing Yuan changed his clothes and prepared to go out. The matter of the symbiote was a serious matter, and all the superpowers had to be mobilized. Even he couldn't slack off.
Today was just as predicted in the news. The appearance of the red sun would affect the whereabouts of the vagrants. From the moment the sun rose, almost all the vagrants rushed out. The streets were filled with screams. I looked out of the window and saw the road was blood red. The vagrants with hideous faces were chasing the panicked crowds on the street and frantically gnawing on their flesh and heads. It made people wonder if they had arrived at the eighteenth level of hell.
The blood-red sun hangs high in the sky, but it does not make people feel bright. Instead, it feels dark and gloomy, like a precursor to continuous rain.
Lu Xiaozhao, who finally calmed down in the second half of the night, became restless again, roaring and trying to bite people. Lu Yan slapped him and knocked him down: "Shut up and be quiet!"
Lu Xiaozhao became even more angry: "Roar!!"
“Bang!”
"roar!!!"
“Bang!”
"roar!!!"
"Bang--!"
Lu Yan kicked him under the bed, and the world became completely quiet.
Lu Yan lived in the most remote suburb of Devil City, and wanderers all flocked to the central area, so he did not notice anything unusual until he logged into his live broadcast account.
Lu Yan's entire homepage recommendation is densely packed with red sun-related stories. Wanderers madly flock into the city to devour living people. Although the bloody parts are mosaiced, the scenes are still as horrifying as zombie movies, causing panic among the citizens of the entire Devil City.
The official Sky City TV station account was still broadcasting the entire process live, and the superpower team had already set out to carry out the clearing mission. However, these actions could not completely appease the panicked citizens, and the comments section was filled with excitement, with many people cursing and losing control of their emotions.
[Didn't they say they would send a special forces team to clean up the mess?! Why are they still gathering at Yunduan Road?! Do poor people not deserve to live?!]
[Where are the superpowers? Where are the superpowers? My door is full of wanderers, why don’t you come over? ]
[Help! I don’t even dare to go out. I only have 36 hours left. If I don’t work, I’m really going to die! ]
The number of psychics in Sky City is limited, so some have to stay in the city, while the rest of the team advances from inside the city to outside to carry out a carpet-style cleanup. Although they have sped up their pace, every minute and every second is extremely torturous for ordinary people who are struggling on the line between life and death.
Since Lu Yan's live broadcast of hunting the Wanderer last night, his account has gained more than 800,000 fans overnight. Although the number of fans has not yet surpassed several top anchors, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a matter of time before he rises to the top. He ranks first in the popularity list and the reward list, which is beyond the reach of others.
Lu Yan casually checked the backstage and found that the number of private messages was about to explode as usual. He clicked on a few of them and thought that they were all fans confessing their love and flattering him as before. However, when he opened them, he found that they were all frantically urging him to go to work.
[(Grabbing shoulders and shaking wildly) Brother Lu, wake up! It’s time to go to work!!]
[You haven't been on air for 13 hours. Even the donkeys on the production team don't dare to take a break like this! Hurry up and get up and go live! ]
[(Crying chickens) I told you to start broadcasting, I told you to start broadcasting, hurry up and start broadcasting, you hear me? The streets are full of wanderers ah ah ah ah!!]
[Get up right now and open the window. There are live broadcast materials everywhere outside. Can you see it? ! ! I live at No. xx, xx Street. If you don’t come in half an hour, I will kill you! (burst into tears)]
[QAQ I was trapped in the sewer by wanderers and I dared not climb out, Brother Lu! SOS! Help!!!]
Lu Yan glanced through the news and finally realized the seriousness of the situation. He immediately stood up, opened the curtain and looked outside. He saw several black smoke clouds hovering in the sky. They were wanderers out looking for food. They all rushed towards the city center like flies and vultures smelling blood, which made people's scalps tingle.
Seeing this, Lu Yan pulled the curtains shut with a swish. His expression changed dramatically, which was quite interesting:
Fuck! No way, he still has to go out to work in this weather? !
