[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Ruby has missed Martha's apple pie ever since she visited her hometown in Kansas.

Since receiving the little squirrel, Martha has also missed this super cute little squirrel.

Clark, the apple pie courier caught in the middle, said: ...It doesn't matter, anyway, Ruby can't finish a whole apple pie, and the rest is not going into my stomach, it's just a running fee.

In the third week of coming to the Fortress of Solitude, Clark didn’t know what strange events happened on Earth. Clark suddenly became busy, flying around in uniform every day, and he didn’t even have much time to spend with Ruby.

Ruby is bored playing Zelda with her newly bought game console, chatting with the alien apple tree while playing.

"Look at how quickly the apple trees in other games regenerate apples. Why do you only produce one every day?" She said disgustedly.

Apple Tree: "You! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

Ruby also imitated others' words: "I! I! I! I won't!"

As a result, the apple tree was really pissed off.

The apple tree flung a super thick tentacle over. Ruby reacted extremely quickly, and immediately turned on the little squirrel's berserk state, and dodged it with a leap.

However, that poor game console was not so lucky, and was smashed to pieces by the tentacles.

Ruby almost burst open: "My new Nintendo game console!"

Before she could finish speaking, another tentacle of the apple tree came over, and Ruby narrowly avoided it. The ground where she was just now was immediately dented.

Ruby was taken aback, really angry?

This apple tree doesn't look like such a tree that can't be joked about, does it?Although it is usually super fierce, it is also super cute, and it is obviously easy to bully!

"Wait a minute, wait a moment!" Ruby said quickly, "I'm sorry big sister, I'm just kidding! How can you compare with the mass-produced garbage tree in the game? You are the best alien apple tree!"

However, the alien apple tree ignored her at all, as if suddenly going crazy, it waved its tentacles and smashed everything around it into a mess.

Ruby was stunned. She rushed to the apple tree, grabbed its two tentacles, tied them together, wrapped them around its trunk, tied a bow, then dodged the third tentacle and leaped into the air .

She saw a scarlet mist wrapping around the apple trees.

Ruby was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "System, is it affected by my tyrannical effect?"

The system immediately scanned and concluded: "No."

Although it does have a little impact, Ruby's parasitic time on it is too short to be so serious at all.

Ruby frowned, and decisively grabbed the third tentacle drawn from the apple tree, wrapped it around its branches, and tied it tightly.

"Hey, why are you crazy!" She patted the apple tree, and her little paws were ready, like a slap in the face.

The apple tree stayed for a while, and then stopped.

As if it had just reacted, it realized that it had caused a lot of damage, and pitifully retracted its canopy. It wanted to stretch out its tentacles to touch the little squirrel to express its apology, but found that it was entangled in the trunk, and suddenly became angry again. Quacking.

Ruby sat on it, lost in thought.

What's going on here?Do Alien Apple Trees Have Menopause?

"Okay, don't move around." She patted the tree under her buttocks, "Let's quickly clean up the things you broke."

Ruby thought it was just a small accident caused by menopause, but what she didn't expect was that menopause seemed to produce symptoms of human-to-human transmission.

After the apple tree went crazy, in the next few days, many other creatures also showed symptoms of possessing, and they were all creatures possessed by her.

Only the alien pig, which she had always disliked and never possessed, still followed her foolishly, giving her a hug from time to time.

Ruby: "...Go away!"

Ruby, who deals with the runaway incidents of the Animal Crossing Friends Club every day, has a big head. She doesn't even have time to take care of Clark, who hasn't come back. She can only bite the bullet and fight with a group of crazy alien creatures.

Fortunately, her fighting power is high enough, so it doesn't take much effort to fight, but she can't stand it every day!

……

the other side.

The members of the Justice League who finally drove a group of Darkseid's minions back to Apocalypse finally waited until the time to get off work.

Clark was dying of anxiety at this moment. He remembered that he hadn't returned to the Fortress of Solitude for several days, and he didn't know if Ruby, the little symbiote, was so bored that he grew mushrooms.

Do you want to prepare a mobile phone for Ruby next time?In this way, even if he is not there, the two of them can contact each other instead of disappearing for several days like now.

The little symbiote wouldn't feel that he had abandoned her, would he?

Thinking of this, Clark became even more anxious.

He was about to fly back directly, but was suddenly stopped by someone.

"and many more."

Clark turned to see Batman looking at him seriously.

"Alfred heard that Superman likes to go to various dessert shops to buy food recently, so..." Batman took out a small box from the dark Batplane while speaking, "He let me I brought you a box of this."

His tone was low, his face was serious, and he was full of the low pressure of being forced to do business, but what he said and what he took out made other members of Zhenglian surprised.

It turned out to be a box of cookies that smelled delicious and looked super delicious.

"Ah, I've heard that too!" Barry smacked his forehead, "It seems that photos have been taken in many places. Superman is flying around in the sky with all kinds of dessert boxes."

"So the Batplane also doubles as a takeaway delivery plane?" Hal said with his arms crossed, "I thought it was full of weapons."

"It smells really good, but I never thought that Superman would like to eat biscuits." Diana said curiously.

Clark: ...

Looking at the good comrades in front of him, he suddenly felt a sense of social death...

"Actually, I didn't eat those desserts..." He tried to argue.

"Wow." Barry's eyes lit up immediately, "Could it be a girlfriend?"

Clark was silent for a second, and decided not to explain: "Well, it's what I ate."

As he said that, he put on an expression that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and took the box with a pink bow tie from Batman, and said, "Thank you Alfred for me, and thank you, Bruce."

"..." Batman still had an expression of being forced to do business, jumped on the plane, and flew away in no time.

Clark quickly closed the lid of the cardboard box to avoid being polluted by exhaust fumes. This cautious look made the rest of the Zhenglian people beside him fall into deep thought.

"Well, although bats never participate, I still suggest that we can have a celebration party or something after we finish the work." Barry suggested enthusiastically, "I know there is a pizza place that tastes good and the price is reasonable." Reasonable……"

Before he finished speaking, he felt suddenly empty around him.

Barry looked back, just now he was standing in Superman's position, now there is only a cloud of air left.

Zhenglian: ...

So, can turning heads be passed on from person to person without this annoying skill?

……

Clark hugged the cookie and flew towards the Fortress of Solitude in a happy mood.

In order to prevent the wind pressure from blowing the cookie, he deliberately slowed down and used his broad and strong chest to protect the small box firmly.

Ah, Bruce is such a good teammate. He even prepared a small gift that required an apology after disappearing for several days.

Needless to say, Alfred's craftsmanship, Ruby will definitely like it very much.

The moment he entered the Fortress of Solitude with a smile on his face—

He thought he would be greeted by an angry little symbiont, as well as direct questions.

He never expected it.

Before he could call Ruby's name, a puddle of colorful liquid thrown out by an unknown creature smeared his face.

Clark, who didn't expect to dodge at all: ...?

With a puzzled expression on his face, he pulled the lump of semi-solid liquid off his face and threw it on the ground. He was surprised to find that this colorful lump was still corrosive, and the floor immediately started to smoke.

"What's going on?" He was puzzled, and looked up, good guy, the scene in front of him shocked Martha for a whole year——

I saw that the glass walls of the greenhouse were shattered, broken glass was everywhere, and all the plants and animals inside ran out. Some vines had even grown to the ceiling, and there were various animals hanging on them, some of which were huge. Mammals even ran happily in the hall and even attacked each other. The whole Fortress of Solitude is like an African savannah in spring.The robot used for guarding in the Fortress of Solitude was also pinned down and gnawed on the ground by a few crazy alien lions at the moment, so they could only keep giving alarms with helpless voices.

As for the colorful mucus just now, it seems to be the venom spit out by some alien snake?

Clark was stunned. He quickly put the cookies aside, hurriedly caught a few of the most aggressive alien lions and threw them into the greenhouse for isolation. While catching creatures, he was looking for Ruby.

"Ruby?" he called, "Ruby, where are you?!"

No one ignored him.

After Clark cleaned up all the strange alien creatures that seemed to be possessed, he saw Ruby on the other side and the fat cat that Ruby hated the most.

The cat and the squirrel fought so ferociously that the tentacles and spikes flew together, which made people crazy.

The little symbiont was still yelling: "You stinky cat still dares to hit me, watch me stuff you into your own stomach, digest yourself!"

Ruby is really going crazy.

After she finished this crazy alien creature, the other one started to go crazy again, over and over again, there was no end to it.Later, more than a dozen of them went crazy at the same time, attacking each other, and wreaking havoc everywhere.

No way, Ruby can only deal with the most ruthless one first.

As a result, the strength of the two was evenly matched. In the end, the more they fought, the more angry they became, and the more they fought, the higher they got. That's why the scene in front of Clark happened.

The people in Clark were stunned, why did this happen suddenly?

These animals and plants have been in the Fortress of Solitude for so long, and they have been living in peace. Although they are not all docile creatures, they will not be so aggressive. This is just like...

It's almost like being instigated by something.

There was a strange red light in the eyes of all the creatures, as if possessed by a demon.

Clark looked at the chaos in front of him, and suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his head. He couldn't help covering his head, and bent down.

"Damn it!" He cursed, the unprecedented irritability came suddenly, and he couldn't think about it for a while, he just felt that everything in front of him was annoying, and he wished that these messy things would disappear quickly!

"Stop it! Don't fight!" Clark couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted at Ruby who was fighting.

At the same time, two scorching lights shot out of his eyes uncontrollably, directly penetrating through Ruby's body!

Ruby: "...??!!"

Ruby was so painful that she almost died on the spot. She fell from the air to the ground, and the place pierced by the high temperature was still smoking.She quickly activated the healing skills to heal the little squirrel's body, but the place where she was burned by the high temperature was still hurting.

Although the body of the symbiont is fluid, it is only burned with two holes, it will not be fatal, but the pain is real pain!

After Ruby realized it, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Clark!! Are you a damn Kryptonian crazy..."

Before Ruby finished swearing, she was rolled by the fat cat's tentacles and almost swallowed it directly.

Clark came to his senses and quickly shook his head to stay awake. He rushed over immediately, grabbed Ruby who was entangled in the tentacles, stretched out his hand and scratched the cat's chin, and the tentacles that were about to strangle Ruby to death loosened. open.

Clark grabbed Ruby tightly, closed his eyes, and leaned against the wall panting heavily.

He opened his eyes, and the scarlet light in his eyes flashed past.

what happened?

Why do these animals suddenly go crazy?

Why... he also goes crazy?

--tyrannical.

In his head after finally waking up, an entry flashed across.

The symbiont will cause the possessed host to have a very strong desire to commit violence, and the intensity of this desire will vary according to the host's resistance.

This seems to be the only reasonable explanation.

He lowered his head and looked at the little squirrel that was tightly strangled in his hand, with a dazed look on his face.

He seems to have made a wrong decision.

He shouldn't have left this little symbiote behind.

Whether it's out of his empathy or because he's been bewitched by the symbiote, he shouldn't be doing it.

He originally thought that with his willpower, he could resist the negative effects of the small symbiont, after all, Ruby was just a baby.

But it seems that he seems to overestimate himself.

"I'm sorry." He hugged the little squirrel that was still shaking from the pain, his voice trembling.

It was his fault, it was all his fault.

Ruby was still in pain, she was about to die of anger, she stretched out her little paw and scratched Clark, and almost broke the paw.

Ruby: ...even more angry!So why did he suddenly attack me? Is it because I failed to help him deal with the group runaway of the Animal Crossing Friends Club!

System: I don't know.

Ruby: ...Ah, Kryptonians are really difficult to understand.

However, what broke Ruby's heart and gallbladder was still to come.

I saw Clark hugging her super tenderly, saying sorry, and opening the portal that made Ruby's blood pressure instantly full.

Before Ruby could react, Clark threw her into a small glass box. I don't know what weird technique he used. Ruby was directly ejected from the little squirrel's body with a snap. Turning into a puddle of jelly, a pair of big red eyes looked at Clark with a bewildered expression.

"Damn!" Ruby was about to crack on the spot, she slammed her head against the inner wall of the glass, desperately tilting the glass, "Don't! Clark! Are you crazy?!"

Clark looked at her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Ruby."

I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to hurt anyone, this is the best choice for us.

The power inside me is too dangerous. If it gets out of control, none of us can afford the consequences.

I'm out of control, I almost killed you...I can't get out of control a second time.

So I can't leave you here, not for a second.

Give me some time and let me find a way to get over it.

Clark closed his eyes, no longer looking at Ruby's unbelievable gaze, he stepped into the portal, and let go of his hands above the symbiote planet.

The glass box fell to the ground and turned into countless fragments.

Ruby lay blankly in a pile of debris, looked up at Clark Kent who walked into the portal and disappeared into the boundless starry sky.

He didn't even turn his head, as if she was some kind of scourge, even a glance would kill him.

"System?" she said.

System: currently out of signal range, unable to connect to the server.

Ruby froze.

She never expected that Clark would throw her down so decisively, as if the happy times they had spent were all fake.

She looked at this barren symbiote planet that seemed to have no trace of life.The obscure universe silently surrounds her, silent and desolate.

A line of poetry suddenly appeared in her mind, the only line she wrote down in the thick book of poetry that Clark gave her——

Fate has no mercy,

God's night has no end.

Your flesh is nothing but time, passing time,

You are every single moment of solitude.
