The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

The wind blew over the base, the sky was gloomy, and the clouds were blown apart and gathered and dispersed without any fixed shape.

Li Shen walked away in the windy day.

Du Yansheng went to see them off, and the two said goodbye reluctantly outside the institute's compound, as if they had a premonition of the twists and turns that lay ahead.

After being so close in the previous few weeks, the sudden separation left both of them feeling a little lost.

It’s just that they are at the base, performing important tasks, and have responsibilities to shoulder.

No matter how difficult the task is, even if there may be only one survivor left, Li Shen must go.

Du Yansheng watched the convoy leave, sighed, turned around and entered the research institute to continue his research.

The strong wind blew for the entire afternoon. Just as it was about to rain, the dark clouds were pushed away by the strong wind.

The whistling wind did not stop until the evening.

You Mu put down the report in his hand, walked out of the underground laboratory, stepped on the soil, and looked up at the night sky.

There were a few sparse stars on the horizon, and the wind blew away all the clouds above, leaving the clear sky a solid black.

An inconspicuous black butterfly flew around from behind, flapped its wings and hovered at the tip of You Mu's nose as he raised his face.

After a light touch, it naturally fell on You Mu's shoulder.

"Dishonest."

It appeared in the form of a butterfly, probably the real body. 049 was not at peace and must have sneaked out following his figure.

Looking far in a certain direction, You Mu remembered the news that Yu Yue brought back in the afternoon, and guessed that it was a hidden place of the Creator.

Yu Yue said that the road surveillance did not show any footage of District Chief Zheng appearing. From the time he was beaten by them until now, "District Chief Zheng" seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth without a trace.

The shrinking of the main body like 049, or the separation of parts, requires the main body to consume energy supply. Given the Creator's current situation, it probably cannot be consumed continuously.

Then his body must have been hidden in some corner before.

Unfortunately, he was busy with research these days, and when he realized this, he felt it was too late. Li Shen was leading the team on a mission, and the Creator might seize the opportunity to leave the base temporarily.

Although there wasn't much hope, You Mu still wanted to go and take a look.

He originally wanted to go there by himself, but with the help of free labor, he didn't have to waste time or effort.

With 049 on his shoulder acting as a decoration, avoiding the sight in front of the door, You Mu touched the seemingly fragile wings and whispered, "I want to go out for a while. Can you use your invisibility effect on me?"

The butterfly pretending to be stupid watched for two seconds and found that You Mu seemed to be really talking about business, not trying to trick him into revealing himself and nitpicking about his disobedience, so he flew into the air and enlarged his body.

049 pursed her lips, spread her wide butterfly wings, gathered You Mu in her arms, and covered his head.

In the small space separated by the butterfly wings, they were very close, with their heads lowered. 049 could see every subtle expression on each other's face. The fragrance was very strong, and he sniffed hard, trying to capture all the fragrance that dissipated in the air.

“… This… is fine.”

The inner side of the butterfly wings is glowing, somewhat similar to the ripples of falling water. The translucent wing veins are filled with luminous liquid from the heel, creating a magical effect.

You Mu raised his hand to touch it. The touch of the scales on his fingertips was like lustrous velvet. The butterfly wings were cold, but after touching them, the transparent background or the luminous background would emit a small-scale chaos as if the original pattern had been disrupted after being touched.

very funny.

049's wings trembled, and when the warm fingertips touched the base of the wings, it aroused the sharpness and itchiness of the senses throughout the body.

He wanted to say that his wings were not suitable for such touches, as the other party might be hurt by the sharp edge of his wings, or it might arouse his desire to hunt more. But 049 really liked the feeling of being stared at, even if the other party was concerned about his wings rather than him as a whole.

"049, your butterfly wings are very beautiful." In the night, in his eyes, they were more dazzling than ever before.

Marveling at the wonderful colors brought about by the free development of individual organisms, You Mu slowly put down his hand. He still remembered the business.

"Touch me!" It was the first time that 049 was described with the word 'beautiful'. At this time, he had already understood the opposition between ugliness and beauty. He was very emotional. He seemed to have finally gotten rid of the word 'ugly' in the other party's senses.

Worried that the other party's affection would be fleeting, 049 simply grabbed You Mu's wrist and pressed it on the butterfly wings, changing the light for the other party to play with.

"Let's do the business first and put some scale powder over there." Pointing in the direction of the main entrance, You Mu ordered 049 to work for him.

Going out requires many procedures and the scene is too big. Even if the Creator is there, he will probably be scared away by the noise.

There was a densely woven protective net in the sky. If it was 049 himself, it would not be difficult to avoid it, but his body was too big to be targeted.

With illusion and invisibility, passing the level seems easy.

"Last time... the agreement... was not fulfilled, and you want benefits."

049 didn't move. He was not stupid and knew that You Mu was ordering him around.

In fact, after eating the black ball, he obtained a lot of useful information and stored a lot more knowledge in his head.

049 kept thinking about the agreement that the other party had made last time. Although he went out secretly, he did not do it in front of the other party. However, You Mu always said that he was busy and could not give him blood to drink, nor did he give him the syrup from last time.

He didn't ask for much, just a little bit was enough. It was clearly an agreement, but it seemed like he was the one waiting all the time.

This time 049 realized that he couldn't just look at the agreement, he needed to ask for benefits first.

"Go out first, and I'll give you the reward when you come back." Thinking about the Creator, You Mu habitually postponed the reward.

"No...you'll lie to me." Shaking his head in denial, 049 was well aware of the look on humans' faces when they were perfunctorily trying to please him.

Such an answer must be a lie to him.

Just like a promise without a deadline, it all depends on the other party.

This is not good!

With the corners of his eyes raised, You Mu realized that 049 in front of him was not easy to deceive.

The other party's IQ is increasing day by day. It seems that you can't deceive them for long by simply holding a piece of meat to dangle.

"Bow your head..." That's right, we have to give some sweet treats, otherwise 049 may not cooperate in the future.

In a hurry, You Mu didn't think too much and tiptoed over to give 049 the benefit he wanted.

The human form does not affect 049's essential strength. His articulated arms are very tough. Even with a layer of simulated flesh on them, the force of just holding them is enough to make You Mu's waist ache.

The body was held up high by the snake's tail. 049 seemed to particularly like You Mu hanging on his body and relying on him, so he raised his height deliberately, causing You Mu to have to hook his neck and shoulders and snuggle in 049's arms.

The huge butterfly wings covered most of its body, as if it felt that wrapping You Mu under the wings was not enough. Several pairs of limbs broke through the flesh and quietly bound around the waist of the person in its arms. When You Mu discovered it, it suddenly retracted it.

"Okay, get out first."

After wiping the corner of his lips, You Mu broke free from 049's arms and landed on the ground.

Hugging You Mu tightly again, 049 moved quickly, and the accelerated scene flashed across his sight. When You Mu raised his head from his arms, the two of them had already appeared on the road outside the research institute.

"Take me in that direction." When he went to the lookout before, he remembered that District Chief Jiang's residence was in the triangle area in the north, which was later burned into ruins.
