Chapter 82 Freedom: The forest shakes in disorder.
Free Base City Lord's Mansion.
After listening to Xiaoye and the others' story, Xinxue frowned tightly.
Her tone was heavy. "We discovered the talisman box too late. I'm afraid it was programmed to open automatically upon the old city lord's death..."
Xin Guiye, who was secretly listening to the government affairs, had a look of deep depression on his face.
She kept apologizing to everyone, her tone full of self-blame: "I'm sorry, I didn't think of this, I wish I had known it earlier.
I've never heard of a humanoid bee swarm in the southern forest before. Captain Lu was detained, and it's all my fault!
More than a year has passed, and the little turtle has not yet transformed into a human form. Now she keeps hitting the corner of the table with her shell to punish herself.
"Don't blame you, it's our bad luck." Xinxue and Lu Erya had a good relationship. When she heard that she was forced to stay by the evolved species, she felt reluctant to let her go.
But he still couldn't bear to see the little turtle, whom he regarded as his daughter, committing such self-harming behavior.
She leaned over, picked up the little turtle, and placed it on her lap, then looked up at the people who were tired from the journey.
With eyes as bright as stars, he promised: "Thank you all for your hard work these days. Evacuating in time is the best option.
Please don't worry, the humanoid bee swarm wants to ask Captain Lu for something now, but they will definitely not harm anyone's life.
The most difficult issue right now is the mutant tree and the talisman box. Ah Shu and I will find a way to solve it and devote all our manpower and resources to eradicate it."
Just then, Ah Shu also received the news and rushed back to the City Lord's Mansion.
When she heard Xinxue's words, she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
He immediately took two steps at a time, rushed to the front of the group, found a place to sit, and listened to the next plan.
All the former teammates have lost weight and are in low spirits. You don't need to ask to know that during the days of avoiding the mutant forest and rushing back, everyone's physical and mental health has been damaged to varying degrees.
In addition, the humiliation of Lu Erya being captured lingered in everyone's hearts.
Xinxue immediately invited them all to stay in the City Lord's Mansion to facilitate the sorting out of everyone's evolution lines and clearing out the red and black lines that represented hidden injuries and obstacles.
When the conversation ended and everyone was about to leave, she looked up at Lu Lin and nodded to her sincerely.
"Welcome to the Free Base. I heard that you have awakened your special abilities, right?
I'm mostly aware of the dangers along the way. Thanks to your reminder, my team members avoided a lot of danger this time.
Could you please stay a little longer so we can get to know each other better?"
Lu Lin glanced at Aunt Yuan uneasily, and after receiving a look of trust and security from her, she nodded.
Along the way, she became quite familiar with everyone in the escort team.
But the person he trusted the most was Aunt Yuan, who was in another car that was not captured by the humanoid bee swarm after the convoy reunited.
The girls who were taken away together looked unreliable.
Only the teachings and gentle care from Aunt Yuan successfully opened Lu Lin's heart.
After everyone else left, Xinxue winked at Ashu.
The latter understood and walked to the door in three or two steps.
A Shu closed the door, leaned against it with his arms folded, and stood guard with an impatient look on his face.
I don’t know whether it is to prevent outsiders from breaking in or to prevent Lu Lin from escaping.
This action made Lu Lin's face turn even paler. She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, unsure of what would happen next.
Xinxue had already seen everyone's evolutionary line, and as soon as she entered the door, she noticed Lu Lin's abnormality.
She has a lot on her plate right now and is in no mood to beat around the bush with her.
He asked directly, "Excuse me, Miss Lu Lin, are you an evolved species?"
"What? Don't, don't talk nonsense. I am a human, a human..." Lu Lin suddenly became like a small animal whose tail was stepped on. He became panicked and his body shook involuntarily like a sieve.
"You don't have to hide anything from me. I can see the difference between you and others."
Xinxue sighed softly. She raised her hand and pointed at Ah Shu, who was acting as the gate god. "I want to share a secret with you. My wife Ah Shu is also an evolved species."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Shu cooperated and transformed into a snake tail, and his height also increased a lot.
She still stood there with her hands clasped together, looking down at others, like an exquisitely carved and majestic statue.
The people in the Free Base have been speculating about Ah Shu's true identity.
But only this time did Ah Shu truly take off his disguise.
"Don't worry, there are many humanoid evolved species like her in the base. You can safely make this place your home."
Xinxue patiently and kindly guided Lu Lin, who was so scared that she almost curled up into a ball after seeing the real body of Ah Shu.
Lu Lin didn't really trust the city lord whom he met for the first time, but the look from Ah Shu was too cold.
Her impatience mixed with the hissing sound of her tongue frightened Lu Lin terribly.
Faced with such mental pressure, she had long wanted to run away, but the only exit was blocked by Ashu, and she had nowhere to escape.
Lu Lin didn't struggle for long before he gave up and said with his head down, "I am... I am a deer..."
Seeing that she did not resist, he successfully avoided a "severe torture".
Xinxue breathed a sigh of relief, her obsidian eyes brightening. "Deer? That's great! We have a herd of sika deer at our base. You should be able to have a lot in common with them! Let them take care of you later."
Lu Lin's face turned red and then pale, and she shook her head in fear: "No... I'm, I'm a short-horned deer... I'm probably not even half the size of a sika deer..."
She had been very confident in her ability to foresee danger, but now, she was uncertain.
The two people in front of her, one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop, were obviously a threat to her, but her special ability did not give any hint.
This is unusual...
Lu Lin slowly raised her head and glanced at the little turtle lying on Xinxue's legs, with her holding its shell.
Unless, these two people have no ill will towards me at all.
A gentle smile spread across Xinxue's face. "Is that so? Don't be afraid, my turtle daughter and snake daughter are also evolved species. And my sister Xiaobai is also an evolved species, and she's a giant rat."
The new city lord introduced that the python was her wife, so it was normal for them to give birth to baby snakes.
But why is the turtle the daughter and the sister the giant rat?
Lu Lin really couldn't understand.
She mustered up the courage to ask, "So...what about you? Are you a turtle or a rat?"
This left Xinxue confused, but Ah Shu couldn't help laughing: "Pfft. She is human, a pure-blooded human."
Xinxue thought about what she had just said and felt that it was indeed possible to cause such trouble.
She coughed twice and pretended nothing happened.
Then she clenched her fists and said sadly, "Don't worry about those details, I am indeed a human being.
I only heard from the team members that you were captured and taken to the hive by the humanoid bees. They were all unconscious at the time and didn't know anything.
Our friend has been detained by a swarm of bees, and we must rescue her. Now, I want to ask how much you know about the Southern Forest. It doesn't matter if you don't know, but thank you for helping them avoid so many dangers..."
There was nothing wrong with the new city lord's attitude, and he was full of concern for his friends.
Lu Lin felt that since she was so powerful and could command pythons and so many evolved species, it should not be a show.
She looked to the left and tried to recall: "I woke up occasionally during my fainting spells, and the worker bees who took care of me didn't say much.
Bees don't use language to communicate with each other, so even if I was awake, I wouldn't have heard anything useful."
At this point, a trace of apology flashed across Lu Lin's face.
She continued, "But my room is very close to your captured friend... I think her name is Ya. It's very close to Ya, just separated by a wall. I can occasionally hear her talking to the worker bees who take care of her."
Thinking of this, Lu Lin showed a puzzled expression, "The worker bee who takes care of Ya seems to be a chatterbox. Sometimes I can't hear clearly, but she seems to use words to inform Ya about everything.
For example, "Ya, it's time for dinner. Guess what's for dinner tonight?" or "The queen is asleep and hasn't been summoned, so Ya and I can't go out."
After Ya was chosen by the Queen, she seemed to have received some special privileges, which is why she was able to wake us up and ask the Queen to send us away from the hive."
As a third party, Lu Lin can see more clearly the relationship between Lu Erya and the humanoid bee colony.
The information I heard from her was much better than what Xiao Ye and the others had said before, such as "I was imprisoned by the queen, and if I send you away, I will commit suicide."
As a rare person in this world who falls in love, marries, and has children with an evolved species.
Xinxue's attitude is much more optimistic.
She suspected that Captain Lu also had some qualities that made him be chosen by the Queen Bee, which is why he stayed there.
Xinxue has had so many interactions with the evolved species that she has a higher liking for them than anyone else.
So at least she was not worried about Lu Erya's life safety at this moment.
Evolved species are very persistent and pure in their feelings, and their methods and means of courtship are unacceptable to ordinary people.
However, they will show endless tolerance and care to the humans they choose.
However, that was just a guess based on my own knowledge. The temperament of each evolved species is different.
Xinxue heard that bees might eat their mates after mating.
What if the Queen Bee also did the same thing and treated Lu Erya as an expendable partner?
Thinking of this, she continued anxiously, "So how do you feel Captain Lu is doing over there? When you met her, did she show any signs of being bullied?"
Lu Lin looked troubled. "I don't know either, but she's better than all of us. The last time I saw her, she was still healthy."
"No matter what, we must go and save her." Xinxue bit her lip, thinking of another major event that threatened Lu Erya's life.
She lowered her eyes and continued, "Do you know anything about the mutant tree? You used to live in the southern forest, right?"
When this was mentioned, Lu Lin trembled unconsciously, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
"I completely evolved into a humanoid form one day last year. Before that, I was just an ordinary short-horned deer living with my tribe...
Suddenly that day, a terrible earthquake began, and the whole forest was shaking chaotically.
It was like countless powerful and ruthless hands were kneading it like dough...
The plants, animals, and evolved species living in the southern forests were all frightened to death..."
Following Lu Lin's words.
After the death of the old city lord, everything that happened in the southern forest gradually unfolded before Xinxue's eyes.
