Chapter 71: Happenings in the Apocalypse 9

Lou Ling knew that Lou Dian was planning something bad. He would definitely take action, so she kept an eye on him. However, she found that he didn't do anything and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

In fact, not only was she puzzled, but Yan Ge and the people from the west district of the Research Institute who had been secretly observing Lou Dian were also puzzled. Yan Ge thought that Lou Dian might have really listened to Lou Zhan's words. This was the capital base, and the armed forces here were not comparable to other bases. The Research Institute was even more heavily guarded, so how could he break in alone? After Bai Jin in the Research Institute knew that Lou Dian had returned and saw that he did not make a move, he thought that either Lou Dian had not found out that it was the Research Institute that wanted to take away Grandpa Mo and the others, or he was afraid of the Research Institute's power and did not dare to act rashly.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Jin felt relieved. Seeing that Lou Dian was behaving himself, he couldn't help but look down on him a little, thinking that he was nothing special.

Time passed by quickly. Tomorrow was the day of departure. Lou Ling and Lou Dian went to the Lou family's house to have dinner with everyone and discuss the itinerary for tomorrow. There were twelve people on Lou Zhan's side and eight people on Lou Ling's side, including Lin Bao Bao who was waiting outside. In total, there would be twenty people.

Lou Dian had already found an opportunity to explain Tan Mo's situation to Lou Zhan. Yan Ge was a little startled at first. He felt that these people were really audacious. However, he was also a bold and careful person. Thinking about Tan Mo's ability, he felt that if this person could be controlled, he would be an extremely rare and good teammate. He was the first to agree to Tan Mo joining them. Lou Zhan already had a plan in mind when he first heard Lou Dian mention it. Hearing Yan Ge strongly agree from the side, he agreed.

Lou Zhan felt that after not seeing him for two to three years, his cousin had changed so much that he almost couldn't recognize him. When he came to the capital to study, he looked gentle and refined. Although he was a little cold, he still had the characteristics of a young man. He was a little arrogant and ambitious, but he treated people casually and kindly. He looked quite normal. However, after the apocalypse, he realized that his personality seemed to have changed completely. He couldn't help but secretly guess that maybe after the apocalypse, the siblings had suffered a lot and encountered many unfair things, which made his personality change so much?

Lou Zhan was not a gossipy person. Even if he had guesses in his heart, he would not directly ask them what they had encountered after the apocalypse, so as to avoid opening up old wounds. However, when he heard that Lou Ling's ability awakened when she encountered a powerful mutated plant on her way to the capital base, he was certain that the siblings must have had a hard time after the apocalypse, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them.

If it were anyone else, Lou Zhan would not be at ease. But since Lou Dian guaranteed that he would make the mindless killing machine, Tan Mo, obey him, he agreed to let Tan Mo join them.

"Gather at the base gate at six o'clock tomorrow morning," Lou Zhan said to the people in the hall. "Pack your luggage tonight. If you have a lot of things, you can give them to Ah Xin."

The Ah Xin that Lou Zhan was talking about was a space ability user in their team. Eight of the ten people Lou Zhan brought with him were ability users. They had all five elements and space ability users. Their combat power was extraordinary.

After giving his instructions, Lou Dian took Lou Ling back.


Back at the apartment, Lou Ling looked around. There seemed to be nothing to pack in this rented apartment. After practicing her ability for a while, she saw that it was getting late. She took a warm bath and went to bed. The weather was hot, and Lou Ling actually wanted to take a cold shower. However, Lou Dian had read some books about women's health and knew that girls' bodies were different from men's. The worst thing was to take cold showers, so he wouldn't allow Lou Ling to do as she pleased no matter what season it was.

The two of them laid in bed. Lou Ling chatted with him for a while and quickly fell asleep.

Lou Ling didn't know how long she had been asleep when she suddenly woke up. She jumped up and touched the space beside her. It was empty.

Lou Ling didn't care about anything else. She jumped out of bed barefoot and walked around the room. Then, she ran to the window and looked out. Most of the base was dimly lit with only a few street lights. The streets were mostly dark. Other than the patrolling soldiers, there was hardly anyone else in sight. However, in other parts of the base, it was brightly lit and bustling with noise. It was the red-light district where ability users and people with power went to have fun. The red-light district was not limited to the flesh trade. There were also other forms of entertainment. What was available before the apocalypse was also available here. It was a place of extravagance and dissipation, almost making people forget that it was still the apocalypse.

Lou Ling was fully awake now. She held her head and knew without thinking that Lou Dian's chuunibyou was acting up again. He had finally made his move. She thought that he had really given up, but it turned out that he wanted to make his move before they left. Lou Ling was both shocked and angry. She was shocked that Lou Dian would choose to act at this time. Would anything happen? She was angry that he had clearly said that he would not leave her behind, but now he had disappeared without a trace.

Of course, after the anger came a sense of dejection. She had never known where Lou Dian's limit was, but she knew that he was much stronger than her. If she followed him, she would probably become a burden. It was fine if she didn't go.

After standing there for a while, Lou Ling quickly changed into a black outfit. She tucked her Tang sword at her waist and put on a pair of black flat sandals that wrapped around her feet. These sandals were very light, soft, and convenient. The soles were strong, a bit like the shoes worn by ninjas in anime. They were very comfortable to wear in summer. She didn't know where Lou Dian got them from. When she wasn't on missions, Lou Ling liked to wear them very much. After she was ready, she quietly left the door.

In the silence of the night, some subtle sounds could be infinitely amplified, making Lou Ling a little uncomfortable. However, she quickly got used to it. Although she had been doted on by Lou Dian for a long time after the apocalypse, she still had the necessary training. She was still quite bold, and because of Lou Dian's indulgence, she had become a little reckless.

She quickly left the apartment. Lou Ling used the cover of the dark corners of the houses to sneak towards the Research Institute.

Half an hour later, she finally arrived at an alley a thousand meters away from the Research Institute. She hid in the alley and stared at the entrance of the Research Institute. Only researchers, workers, and those big shots with identity cards could enter the Research Institute. Lou Ling had nothing prepared right now, so she really couldn't sneak in.

There were also some lights leaking from the Research Institute. At this time, it was also very quiet. It seemed like nothing had happened, which made Lou Ling a little puzzled. Could it be that Lou Dian didn't come?

Because she was puzzled, Lou Ling didn't dare to rashly enter. If she was not careful and fell into a trap, it would be ridiculous if she needed someone to save her. However, she was also worried that Lou Dian might have really run in. She wondered if he would be caught by someone. Lou Ling touched her chin and made a comparison. She believed that if she rashly ran in, the person who would be caught would probably be her, and Lou Dian would be able to retreat safely.

Suddenly, Lou Ling ducked and dodged the wind blade that came from behind her. The mutated vine in her hand quickly extended and hooked onto the corner of the house next to her. Her entire body flew up. Her feet kicked against the wall as she dodged a few more wind blade attacks.

The person missed his attack and was a little surprised. He asked, "Who are you?"

The voice sounded somewhat familiar. His entire figure was hidden in the darkness, and she couldn't see his face clearly. At the same time, Lou Ling didn't dare to let him see her face. She used the mutated vine to climb onto the wall of the house in the alley and used the opportunity to speed up her escape.

The two of them ran in the courtyard. Lou Ling suddenly frowned. She felt a sharp pain on her cheek, but her speed didn't slow down. The other party was a wind ability user and could use the wind to increase his speed. However, she could use the mutated vine and the houses beside her to move around nimbly.

She didn't know how many alleys she had run through, but the person was still in hot pursuit. Lou Ling frowned. She didn't do anything. Why was he so relentless? She was a little angry. She felt the slight wind coming from behind her. The mutated vine wrapped around a signboard, and she flew over again.

The person seemed determined not to let her go. Another series of wind blades came at her. The sound of metal clashing rang out as the wind blades cut at the mutated vine. By the time Lou Ling reacted, she realized that the other party's wind blades were meant to cut off her mutated vine. She couldn't help but be shocked. The mutated vine finally broke, and she fell to the ground again.

Her gaze sharpened. She turned around and pounced, using her agile body to ram her elbow into the other party's abdomen. He grunted, but he took the opportunity to grab her arm. Then, his tall figure pressed down on her, pinning her to the ground. He twisted her hand, and a spark lit up. It was a lighter.

"It's you!!"

Although the light from the lighter only lasted for a moment before she slapped it away, it allowed the other party to see her face clearly. Lou Ling took advantage of his shock and kicked him with a roundabout kick. The other party grunted, and his grip loosened. His entire body fell, pressing down on her. A strong masculine scent wafted over, making her face burn. Just as she was about to kick him away, she suddenly felt her body lighten. The person had already been pulled away.

The surroundings were extremely dark. Lou Ling only vaguely saw a figure appear in front of her. When the man who was pressing on her was lifted away, she took the opportunity to chop at his neck. The man didn't even make a sound before he fainted.

Lou Ling was a little wary at first. Her fingers were pinching a seed, ready to attack at any time. However, when she heard the other party snort, she immediately squatted down. A warm and powerful hand wrapped around her fist that was about to swing out. He forcefully pried her hand open and took away the mutated vine seed in her palm. Then, he rudely carried her on his shoulder.

Smelling the familiar masculine scent on his body, Lou Ling's attack stopped. She obediently let him carry her.

She was docile, but the other party was imposing. He carried her with one hand and walked straight towards the man on the ground. Seeing that he was about to kill, she hurriedly stopped him.

"This is the capital base. Don't kill anyone," she said in a very soft voice, close to his ear.

Hearing this, his movements paused. However, Lou Ling felt uncomfortable because the grip on her hand tightened. Then, she saw him walk towards the man on the ground with a murderous aura. It seemed like he stomped on a certain vulnerable part of the man's lower body a few times before carrying her away.

Lou Ling: = _ = !! Who said women were vicious? Men were sometimes more vicious than women!!
