The next morning.
Outside the window, the red mist spread, flowing slowly like liquid.
Lin Lang looked at the girl sleeping beside him.
The flawless white skin, under the reflection of the red mist, presented a pink hue.
[Lü Su Ran]
[Appearance: 9.5 points]
[Recharge: 1 time]
[Loyalty: 30%]
[Return Multiplier: 800]
30% loyalty!
800 times return multiplier!
Surprisingly, it directly surpassed Gu Fei!
"So obedient!"
Lin Lang couldn't help but gently caress her face.
"Hmm~"
But she woke up.
As she opened her eyes.
Their eyes met.
Lü Su Ran's big eyes were filled with something glistening, but her voice was coy:
"Bad guy."
Lin Lang said:
"Is this bad? I haven't even used my worse tricks yet!"
It was just that considering Lü Su Ran's weak heart.
Lin Lang was already being very restrained.
Otherwise.
If she still had the strength to say a word, it would be Lin Lang's failure!
"What should I do now?"
She stared at Lin Lang.
Yet there was no longer the previous panic of being at a loss in her eyes.
Instead, she was calm.
And even had a gloating "I'll just watch you perform" attitude.
After a night of recap, she almost confirmed—
She had fallen for Lin Lang's trick again!
What about bugs coming in.
It was clearly just an excuse he made to sleep with her!
But she didn't blame him.
Perhaps, as Lin Lang said yesterday—
They were destined to die in this disaster, maybe today, maybe tomorrow.
Before dying, what other wishes did she have?
Aside from seeing the outside world—but that wish might not be achievable now because it was all red mist outside now.
She had another wish.
She hoped to meet a boy she liked, and fall in love.
When Lin Lang came, delivering supplies when she had none.
When she had no medicine, he exchanged it in the group and sent it over.
When in danger, he always shielded her in his arms at the earliest moment—even if the danger was his fabrication.
This was the love she longed for.
Finding someone willing to give for her, who had eyes full of her.
And now.
She got her wish.
...
Lü Su Ran got out of bed and found new clothes from the wardrobe to put on.
Then she struggled to move the nightstand blocking the door.
She turned to look at Lin Lang.
Lin Lang sat on the bed, watching her all the while.
He shrugged.
Lü Su Ran understood, so she pressed the door handle and opened the door.
Outside.
Everything was as usual.
The doors and windows were shut tight.
Everything in the living room, the shoes by the door, the cushions on the sofa, the cup on the coffee table, showed no signs of being moved.
Lü Su Ran smugly raised her head at Lin Lang.
Indicating she had seen through his plot.
Lin Lang chuckled.
He got out of bed, got dressed, walked outside, embracing Lü Su Ran in his arms.
"Come to my place, your floor is too low, completely shrouded by the red mist, you can see nothing."
Lü Su Ran said:
"Now the entire world is covered by red mist, wherever we go is the same, isn't it?"
Lin Lang, however, replied calmly:
"Whether this red mist disperses or not, there will be a day when I'll take you outside."
His tone was casual.
But Lü Su Ran heard something called a pledge in it, very firm.
"Outside?"
Her eyes revealed longing:
"Where exactly is outside? The district? Bright Moon City? Or across the ocean?"
"Wherever, as long as it's a place you want to go, I will accompany you."
Lin Lang looked at her.
She also looked up at Lin Lang, feeling like her gaze had turned into syrup...
Lin Lang smiled slightly:
"Room and board included?"
"Count me in."
They matched slogans.
The two exchanged a smile.
At this moment.
In a corner of the living room, a more than one meter long, fiery red centipede crawled out!
"Hiss—"
It chirped from its mouth, the countless fine legs surged like a tide, crawling towards Lü Su Ran.
But in the next second!
There came a snapping sound!
The balcony glass shattered!
A green branch broke in through the window, like a spear, directly piercing the centipede!
Then the branch wrapped around,!
Tossing the insect out of the window!
The entire process, lasting less than a second!
Lü Su Ran only heard the sound of the window shattering, and a swoosh!
When she turned back to look.
The window had a hole, but nothing else was there.
Lin Lang said calmly:
"See, a low floor is just troublesome, not knowing which kid downstairs was playing slingshot, even shattered your glass."
...
[Lin Lang]
[Combat Power: S]
[Physical Body: Four Times Reinforced]
[Superpower: Inspiration (Level 9); Spirit Wood (Level 3)]
Lin Lang supported Lü Su Ran, walking slowly in the corridor.
At this moment.
His physical body.
Was quietly undergoing transformation.
A crackling sound came from inside his body.
Lü Suran asked what this sound was, Lin Lang just said it was osteoporosis, and brushed it off.
Then he discovered that he had grown a few centimeters taller!
Even his shoulders seemed to become more robust and broad.
His physique, already evolving from that of an ordinary person, toward the golden ratio of the human body!
His skin, tough as cowhide, already invulnerable to blades and bullets!
And this was just what could be seen by the naked eye.
In places he couldn't see—
His bones had transformed to a jade-like color, crystalline and translucent, hard as diamonds!
His meridians, over a hundred throughout his body, all unobstructed, more than just the Ren and Du Meridians!
His blood, contained a strong life aura!
Even more miraculous was!
At this moment as he breathed, he could distinctly feel!
Besides air, there was a strange energy.
Flowing into his body with his breath, wandering through the meridians...
Finally gathering in the lower abdomen—that place known as the dantian!
Also the place where the "Superpower Core" was!
And this energy could perfectly integrate with the superpower core, nourishing it!
Lin Lang could clearly feel.
His superpower core, was slowly getting stronger.
Though slow, it was indeed happening!
The more direct benefit was, that his superpowers, Inspiration and Spirit Wood, were also growing slowly.
For this.
Lin Lang had a bold idea—
The "Mysterious Power" contained in the air, might just be those endless red mists outside!
And now!
He could also, like those fierce beasts outside!
Directly absorb the power of the red mist to become stronger!
Without having to depend solely on superpower fruit anymore!
...
At this moment.
Xingfu District Building B Unit 1.
3003.
In the bedroom, the pale-faced Shen Chuchu was lying on her bed, clinging tightly to another woman's hand.
Crying:
"That fox spirit stole my man!"
"Seized the supplies that originally belonged to me!"
"Now my mom was also eaten by a monster, I have nothing!"
"Ms. Lingyu, you're also a girl, and a superpower user! You will help me, right?"
Opposite Shen Chuchu.
Sitting was a graceful and beautiful mature woman.
She wore a black pencil skirt, with her hair pulled up, accentuating her ample figure, and an aura of elegance!
In every gesture, she exuded mature charm!
Having heard Shen Chuchu's words, she slightly frowned:
"So that Lin Bulang in the group is your man!"
"He already has a family, yet openly shelters girls in the group, truly excessive! A modern-day Chen Shimei!"
"Rest assured! I will definitely get justice for you!"
Hence.
She took out her phone, found Lin Bulang in the group, and sent him a message:
[Lin Bulang, your woman is with me!]
