You have to believe that I am really a white lotus

"That's right... I'm not as good-looking as you, and I guess it's not as valuable as that medicine by the catty. Why should I guard against you? Besides, if you are really an evolutionary xenoplant, you won't buy a second-hand house outside the sixth ring road." When measuring the price, the house is worthless now, it is worth a pack of dried fish..."

Lu Ze suddenly felt that what he said made sense, and the aroma of the dried fish and chili fried in high-quality clear oil was also very attractive.Thin yellowish fish sticks are wrapped in red oil sauce and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. You can imagine the spicy taste that makes your tongue tingle without tasting it.

He didn't think about how long he hadn't eaten this extravagant snack, and he didn't think about whether there might be medicine in it. He took the paper bag, grabbed a dried fish and stuffed it directly into his mouth.The dried fish is thin and tough, full of chewiness, the spicy taste is mellow but not too irritating, the sauce is mixed with sweet honey, and the meat quality is different from the ones he has eaten before. Sweet and fresh.

He kept eating one bite at a time, and sometimes he swallowed it without even having time to chew it, half a pack went down in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't stop breathing in the heat.Lian Nianchu opened a new bottle of mineral water and put it on the bench. He picked up the bottle and gulped down half of it, then lowered his head and ate it vigorously, as if he hadn't eaten for several days.

Lian Nianchu was worried that the dried fish would not be enough, so he took out lotus root slices, fish tofu and duck wings wrapped in oil paper from the Linghu space, opened them up and piled them on the chair.The snacks were all spicy, and the two bottles of mineral water were quickly drained, so he took out a small pot and a few smooth large bluestones from the space, set up a stove on the ground, and lit the dried ones with a lighter. Reed sticks, the fingertips lead out the water of the Spirit Lake to boil.

The water quality of the lake is actually pretty good, but over the years, a lot of lotus root, water chestnut, wild rice, gorgon, and water shield have been planted, and there are fairy birds and cranes on the shore, so it is inevitable that some excrement will fall into it. It is more in line with modern hygiene habits to boil it and drink it. .

He did all these things in front of Lu Ze, intending to let this young and stubborn human being know his magic.Sure enough, Lu Ze raised his head from the fish tofu, looked at the pot of clear lake water, and asked in disbelief: "You also have supernatural powers? Are you a space supernatural being? Do you also have water supernatural powers? No, no, which one doesn't matter , you are a foreign plant...isn't a lotus afraid of fire? You actually boil water and drink it yourself, isn't that too human? Compared with you, I live like a strange beast."

Lian Nianchu lit the fire before getting up, raised the corner of his cloak, and fanned the smoke as he walked.The snow-white shirt and trousers were half exposed outside the cloak. After working for half a day, there was not even a trace of smoke on them, and they were still shining white.Only his face was slightly reddened by the smoke and fire, and a few drops of sweat fell from his hairline, which made the color extraordinarily bright.

Lu Ze mistakenly saw that his face was flushed, his throat was tight for some reason, swallowed his saliva, and said dryly, "I didn't praise you just now...you don't need to blush."

I didn't blush.

My face just isn't white enough.

My face is not white enough because you don't believe that I am a pure white lotus.

Lian Nianchu touched his cold face, thinking gloomily: This young man has taken the panacea, his physical functions have been improved in an all-round way, and he has also seen him blossom. He is still regarded as an evolutionary plant, so he is determined. Atheist right?

It's hard to do, it seems that we can only use force... He squinted his eyes, stood up and grabbed the collar of the cloak and shook it in the air, covering Lu Ze with his head covered.

The cloak fluttered down without any hindrance, and spread flat on the bench, and the person covered in it disappeared out of thin air.He picked up Suochen, touched the center of his eyebrows with his fingertips, and he himself turned into a thin and swaying shadow, slowly dissipating in the sky and the earth.

After a short period of darkness, a world changed before Lu Ze's eyes.

The place where he settled was next to a vast, misty lake. The lake was so wide that it could not be seen to the end. The water was covered with light smoke and mist. There was no sun in the sky, but the sky was very bright.Various aquatic plants are planted a little farther from the shore. The lotus, lotus, and gorgon flower bloom sequentially, and the round leaves almost cover the water surface.There used to be a mangrove forest by the lake, but the middle was hollowed out by people, and a bamboo forest was planted. A delicate and small bamboo house was built on the edge of the bamboo forest.

Rare cranes, ibis, and seemingly ordinary ducks and geese live in the mud on the bank. They all stared at him, an outsider who suddenly appeared, with a kind of humanized agility in their eyes.

Lu Ze was still holding a half-gnawed duck wing in his hand, and surrounded by dozens of ducks and geese, he felt like a light on his back.The keen sixth sense honed in the long-term battle reminded him that this group of water birds looked ordinary, but they were more dangerous than the high-level beasts outside. If he still wanted to get out alive, it was best not to act rashly.

He quietly hid the duck wings in his pocket, and called out in a low voice, "Lian Nianchu?"

He had only heard this name once, and in that tense and confrontational atmosphere, he thought he had forgotten it a long time ago, but he didn't expect to call it out so smoothly now.

And there was an immediate response—the air in front of his eyes rippled like water waves, and the ripples cleared up. Lian Nianchu stood in front of him so ordinaryly, as if he had been standing there from the very beginning, and the surrounding crowd The ducks, geese and unknown waterfowl that followed him spread out with their wings folded.Lu Ze asked him incredulously: "Are we leaving Tiandu? Did you take me across?"

Lian Nianchu folded his arms around his chest, raised his chin slightly, and said with a dignified and dignified expression, "This is a place that does not exist in the world, it is my personal space. I am not something that evolved to The alien plant at the top, but the god who came to this world... the God of White Lotus."

Lu Ze was silent for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't this the ability of space? Ji Yan... one of my team members also has the ability of space. His space is not as big as yours, and he can't let outsiders in and out, but he can I think it’s also quite practical to keep stored food fresh.”

"That's different..."

"And the White Lotus God...why does this sound a bit like it was made up by a junior high school girl?"

"..."

What happened to the white lotus!Couldn't the white lotus become a god, only a goblin?Are you discriminating against lotus or demon cultivators?

Lian Nianchu didn't want to argue with the ignorant humans, so he raised his right hand and pressed it through the air.Astonishing changes took place in the whole space. The rain fell from the sky, the lotus flowers bloomed all over the lake at the same time, and the white cranes and ibis danced around the lake.

In this fairyland-like illusion, he quietly stepped on the lock dust, let his body be a few centimeters higher than Lu Ze, and said solemnly: "Don't waste your words, come on, let me show you a miracle—you Do you want to live forever or become a fairy? No matter what you want, as long as you can say it, I can make it happen for you, so you should believe in me, right?"

Lu Ze stared blankly at the scene in front of him, as if he didn't hear Lian Nianchu's words at all.But his eyelashes were trembling, shaking faster and faster, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly lost control. He grabbed Lian Nianchu's snow-white cuff and asked: "Can you let us leave this damn city? We have been trapped here for half a year I don't want to live forever, and I don't want world peace. I just want to leave this ghost place. Everyone can leave this ghost place alive and return to the normal life before!

"As long as you can take us out, don't say kowtow three times in the morning and evening, and burn incense in the morning and evening, even if you give this life... even give you the soul after death!"

Lian Nianchu silently took out his hand that was not stained with red oil, rubbed the hair of the future believer, and smiled calmly: "Get ready to believe in me."

====================================================================== =============

Wave-like textures reappeared in the air, and the two of them passed through the undulating air film and returned to the normal world outside.

After staying in that fresh and clean space for a long time, his entire respiratory tract seemed to have been washed by water. When he came out and took another breath, he felt that the air was full of dust, with the bitterness of metal and the lingering smell of corpses, which made him choke. Coughed hard.

Lian Nianchu gave him a cup of slightly scalding boiling water and a pack of unopened wet wipes, sat on the other side of the bench and said: "Since we have settled, tell me about this city first." How did it become like this, and which side is easier to get out from."

Lu Ze wiped his hands, raised his head slightly, and chased the sun that appeared and disappeared between the leaves, carefully recalling what happened in the past few months.

That should have been at 6 am on June 13.At that time, he had just stayed up all night to finish an interior rendering, and planned to wash his face before going to see the client. Unexpectedly, he felt the building shake as soon as he walked into the drinking room.At that time, people in the building thought it was an earthquake, and some people rushed out, but because the earthquake stopped after only one shock, everyone went back to work after only a while of confusion.

When he returned to the office after washing his face, he heard all the colleagues in the office discussing: The previous shaking was not an earthquake, but a meteorite fell on a certain street in District F, not far from their company.At that time, he also jokingly said that he happened to be going to meet clients, so he could take a detour and take photos and send them to them.

Who would have thought that would be the last time he saw his living colleagues.

From that day on, the plants, animals, and insects in the entire city began to mutate, and humans also possessed supernatural powers. Fortunately, no zombies appeared like those written in the doomsday novels.However, the endless evolution of alien plants and beasts is no better than zombies. He fled with the crowd for a long time in a daze. Walking on the edge of life and death, he didn't think he might survive until he found out that he had supernatural powers.

After that, even Nianchu had seen the little movie, but he listened very carefully to what I said.After all, the short movie is sped up and the content is incomplete, while Lu Ze's narration is more detailed, adding some information that cannot be seen from the screen alone.

For example, Ji Yan in their team has the temperament of white lotus.Talking about him, Lu Ze spent several times as much time as introducing others.

Although this person's own combat power is a little weaker, he has precious spatial abilities and can quickly transfer food and supplies. He is very popular among the military and those with abilities.Moreover, he seemed to have a deep understanding of the catastrophe. This time, the military decided to take action to investigate the source of the catastrophe—the meteorite that landed that day—also at his suggestion.

He was the first to propose that meteorites contain viruses that can change the genes of animals and plants and cause super evolution. He also used a special algorithm to calculate the speed curves of the mutations of alien plants and animals, proving to the military high-level that meteorites must be sealed up to prevent mutations from the source. .

"So the military temporarily gave up the method of forcibly breaking out, and decided to let us with supernatural powers cooperate with the military to go deep into the location of the meteorite, get the meteorite out, and study how to eliminate this virus. The degree of evolution of the alien plants and beasts around the meteorite must be more advanced Gao, we need to collect more supplies and medicines before the official operation. Because the military is also employing people now, I split up the people in the team, and the other team members cooperated with the military to clean up Area C. Kun's Fenglei squad teamed up into the forest..."

He swallowed a mouthful of lukewarm water, moistened his throat, and finally concluded: "Then I met you in that hospital."
