Four days later, Yu Xin’s underwater hut.
"Xuejiang, you want to go to the canyon alone to find out what's going on?" Yu Xin's eyes widened, "Are you kidding me... There is a mysterious giant sea monster there, and it might eat you in one bite. Could it be that you have become Chaofan, don’t you know how much you weigh?”
The two have become very familiar with each other over the past month or so, and occasionally even stay at each other's homes.
Naturally, I no longer have so many scruples about speaking.
"I can't go if I don't go." Lu Xuejiang's face was heavy, but his tone was firm.
"Why not?" Yu Xin stared at him with an unkind expression.
Lu Xuejiang whispered: "Since the last patrol found a giant sea monster in that canyon... it has been marked as the most dangerous area. In order to prevent unnecessary casualties and even bring danger to the Crystal Palace, the patrol is not allowed. Go there again to collect food.
"The problem is, the whole city has already distributed fish, shrimp, crab and other food once! Everyone tasted the benefits and thought that the days of food shortage were over... but suddenly they returned to before liberation overnight.
"Now all the citizens' eyes are fixed on our patrol station. After all, we were the ones who distributed the early adopter food, and we are the ones who promised that there will be a steady stream of food in the future."
"I know all this, but why do you have to go by yourself?" Yu Xin frowned, "There is no one in this huge patrol station?"
"No, no, the young men in our department are great. Some of them submitted military orders and said they were willing to volunteer to collect food, regardless of life or death! However, during the voting session of the management, they were still rejected... Everyone I’m worried that I’ll offend that sea monster, after all, that’s a powerful character who can stand in a stalemate with the fourth-level undead for a long time.”
Yes, many people in the Crystal Palace speculated that the sea monster was the giant octopus that originally attacked the Shell Giant.
After all, in that decisive battle, many extraordinary people saw the giant octopus up close! Lu Xuejiang was actually more certain, because he and the octopus clone had even faced each other. From the short two seconds of the video, he was basically certain of this.
"Don't worry, that big octopus doesn't seem to have much malice towards me...and my strength is not bad now, and I can protect myself to a certain extent." Lu Xuejiang comforted, "And there must be someone to find out what's going on, otherwise the whole situation will be completely different. The whole city will starve."
"Then I'll go too." Yu Xin said directly.
"Nonsense! You..." Lu Xuejiang shook his head directly.
But his words were interrupted by Yu Xin: "Don't underestimate me. Swimming speed is my strong point. I might be faster than you... maybe I can save your life then."
"Don't make trouble."
The two stared at each other, as if competing with each other.
After a while, it was Lu Xuejiang who softened first: "Okay... that's what you said."
Only then did Yu Xin reveal a smile.
This shallow smile almost made Lu Xuejiang stare. Ever since Yu Xin injected the gene potion provided by Lu Ping and transformed into a humanoid intelligent dolphin, she seemed to be much younger, and her skin had become smooth and delicate. The already straight and good-looking facial features are even more attractive.
During this month of waiting for Zhu Mei’s return at the Crystal Palace!
Lu Ping has actually been injecting evolutionary serum into two people...
He also knows that the evolution serum's 100% success rate and the fact that it takes ten days to take effect slowly are very different from normal gene potions! He couldn't hide anything, so Lu Ping simply told the two of them that he had a friend who was an expert in biology and had improved the genetic potion.
As of now, Lu Xuejiang has received his sixth injection and is about to fully regain his fish-man form.
The fish-man form created by Lupine for him contains the genes of eight kinds of marine creatures, including jellyfish toxins, volute scales, squid suckers, octopus regeneration, and many other abilities... It can be said that the extent of pure genetic modification is no less than To the leader of many spirit melders!
In addition to not being able to unite his spirit and body, Lu Xuejiang's own strength has actually reached the threshold of the third level. The fusion of spirit and body is only needed when dealing with the undead, so Lu Xuejiang is actually now able to fight back and forth with some spirit fusions.
Yu Xin received a total of four doses of evolutionary serum and now has a humanoid intelligent dolphin form.
Although this form's combat effectiveness is average, it is good at detection and high-speed swimming! Her speed, agility and agility are so fast that ordinary extraordinary captains cannot catch her!
The two finally decided to explore the canyon together, and with a tacit understanding, they both chose not to tell Lupine.
Because they know very well that Lupine will definitely try his best to stop them!
During this period, it was not only the love between men and women that heated up, but also some kind of affection for Lupine, the "cheap son".
They both could vaguely feel that Lu Ping was really kind to them, he would not hesitate to give them any good things, and he was always caring about them in all aspects.
And the more we get along with each other...the more we feel a sense of familiarity in our bones, like old friends we have known for a long time.
That feeling of blood connection cannot fool anyone.
They decided to take the risk, but were unwilling to involve Lupine.
————
What Lu Xuejiang and Yu Xin didn't know was that there was one person who always knew the progress of the situation, and that was Lu Ping.
Because from beginning to end, it was him who did it!
Whether it is turning into an ordinary dolphin, guiding Lu Xuejiang's submersible to find the Canyon of Life.
It was also intentional that when the patrol was collecting food for the first time, the octopus clone slightly showed one of its arms and legs so that the saucer submersible could take pictures.
These were all arranged deliberately by him!
Its purpose is also simple.
Lupine took a fancy to the Crystal Palace and planned to turn it into fertile ground for cultivating his own power and turn this underwater city into his own private property.
And just like the original Blade Gang... he never liked being in the public eye, and he also thought it was too troublesome to deal with trivial matters as the boss, so it would be best to be the hands-off shopkeeper!
In this way, it is natural to support an agent on the surface, and he must be someone he can fully trust.
Who else is more suitable than your parents?
In fact, Lu Ping initially only planned to support Lu Xuejiang to become the leader.
In order to achieve this goal, Lu Ping made preparations from two aspects: first, trying to establish enough prestige for him in the Crystal Palace and gain public support; second, let his strength also be rapidly improved, becoming extraordinary and the most powerful. Powerful and extraordinary!
During the initial battle against the Shell Giant, Lu Ping came up with this idea when he discovered that Ouyang Fu wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, so he deliberately asked the octopus clone to "bow down and salute" to Lu Xuejiang.
Later, the residents of the Crystal Palace were allowed to taste the sweetness of fish, shrimps and crabs once, and then lost the qualification to eat them, and returned to the painful days of starvation... This was Lu Ping's deliberate arrangement. At this juncture of the ups and downs of people's mood, if Lu Xuejiang can solve the problem of sea monsters, he will definitely gain great prestige.
As for my mother's invention of the undead protease, that was not controlled by Lupine. It can only be said to be an extra surprise!
Once both of them have a high reputation, if they are still a couple, it will only make Lupine's plan smoother.
Half an hour later.
The two took the B-9 submersible and quietly left the Crystal Palace. In fact, some people in the Crystal Palace's senior management must have known about it, but they did not stop them.
Perhaps deep down in their hearts, they were also hoping that Lu Xuejiang could bring some surprises... After all, the giant octopus had obviously treated him differently.
And behind the B-9 submersible... a figure followed sneakily.
It was Lupine who maintained the mimicry.
