“Do you think I’m stupid? I’m not going to let you hit my head.”
Li Manman reached out and pulled Chu Ying. “There are more people coming. They’re not the same group of people as before. I suspect that we’re being targeted.”
Chu Ze nodded. “No need to doubt. You’re being targeted.”
“Now think about what to do. It’s better if you don’t go back for the time being. If you go back, those people will know where you live.”
.
Li Manman nodded. “Mm, okay. We’ll wait here for a while.”
Chu Ze thought for a moment. “I have an idea. Since I’m already exposed, I might as well lure these people away and then you guys can take the opportunity to leave.”
“Will you be in danger like this?”
“Don’t worry. This lake is so big, and the upstream is connected to the river, and the downstream is connected to the sea. If I can’t beat them, I can escape. I’ll show my face tonight, and then I won’t be staying in this lake for the next few days.”
As he said this, Chu Ze sank to the bottom of the lake and prepared to pick a good place to float up and attract the attention of these people.
Attracting the attention of these people was very simple. There was no need for any big movements at all because these people were originally here for the mutated creatures in this lake.
He only needed to make a little movement, but this movement couldn’t be too big. If it was on the news again, this place would probably not be peaceful for a long time.
After deciding on a location, Chu Ze quietly floated up, and the fins on his back gently slid across the surface of the water.
Those who had been observing the surface of the lake by the shore immediately noticed a golden streak across the surface of the lake.
“A mutated creature has appeared. Everyone, pay attention. A mutated creature has appeared. Everyone, pay attention.”
Almost at the same time, everyone in the organization received the news.
At this moment, no one’s attention was still on Chu Ying and Li Manman.
The two of them quietly left the shore.
“Brother’s trick is quite effective.”
Li Manman frowned. “Brother Chu is using himself to attract the attention of those people this time. There aren’t many organizations that know about Brother Chu’s existence. This is equivalent to being exposed to the eyes of those people. I’m afraid that in the future, many people will notice that there are mutated creatures here.”
Chu Ying was dumbfounded. “Then what should we do? Will my brother be in danger?”
“Don’t worry about that. Brother Chu is very smart. He also said that he will find a place to hide after tonight. During this period of time, don’t come here again to avoid being targeted.”
In fact, there were still people watching them when they left. It was just that the person hesitated for a while and then went back to look for the mutated creatures in the lake.
Chu Ze secretly glanced at the shore. After seeing Chu Ying and Li Manman leave, he also dived into the water and disappeared.
After seeing Chu Ze disappear, the people on the shore remembered that the two little girls who they wanted to observe had also left.
However, these people were not discouraged because the two little girls had only been acting strangely. However, there were many people who had similar behavior by the lake.
They only wanted to get closer to observe the lake to investigate. Now that the mutated creatures had appeared and the two little girls had left, it meant that their goal wasn’t the mutated creatures in the lake.
However, what they didn’t know was that they could communicate with the mutated creatures in the lake. Under normal circumstances, mutated creatures couldn’t communicate with each other, not even the evolved creatures could communicate with each other.
After sinking to the bottom of the lake, Chu Ze followed the direction of the current and directly swam downstream.
He couldn’t stay in the lake anymore. He could hide downstream of the lake for a while. If he really couldn’t, he could try going into the sea. His level of evolution should be able to adapt to life in the sea now.
That was what Chu Ze thought in his heart. However, he was still a little afraid of going into the sea.
He could still remember the huge creature from before. It could swallow a cruise ship that was more than 100 meters long in one gulp. Swallowing a small fish that was around 10 meters long like him was like stuffing the gaps between his teeth.
However, under normal circumstances, such a huge creature would not go near the sea. Not to mention that it was easily stranded, there weren’t so many resources for him to eat.
After returning home, Li Manman began her own special website journey.
She had an account that she could use, and that was the account from the mobile phones they had found that day.
After analyzing the information inside, she also obtained the account and password. The process of obtaining the password was very simple. She found the password directly. Then, she entered the authentication code that she received from the mobile phone message, and the account became her own.
However, after obtaining the account and password, she cautiously destroyed the phone and threw it to the side of the road.
Even if someone traced the location of the phone, it would be impossible to find the two of them.
After returning home, Li Manman opened the website and entered the account and password. The website that she did not dare to enter before could now be browsed openly.
When she entered the website that she hadn’t been able to enter before, she was instantly stunned.
It was just like a certain shopping website. Rows of goods were clearly marked for sale.
She even saw the evolutionary guidance drug inside. After clicking in to check for a while, she was stunned by the price of the evolutionary guidance drug.
The stock of the evolutionary guidance drug was zero, but there were already hundreds of people requesting it in the underground comments.
And the price of the evolutionary guidance drug actually exceeded five billion.
The people who bid in the comments were even more exaggerated. There were already people who bid over ten billion.
In the comments, Li Manman learned one thing. The evolutionary guidance drug could guide ordinary people to become Evolvers without any risk.
The success rate of an ordinary evolutionary guidance drug was less than half, and the survival rate was also less than half.
That half of the success rate was in the number of people who survived, and the number of people who died was not counted.
Less than half of the people who used the evolutionary guidance drug survived and less than half of the people who survived could become Evolvers.
This showed the importance of the evolutionary guidance potion. The success rate was 100%, and the death rate was zero. This was enough to attract countless people to buy the evolutionary guidance drug.
After all, becoming an Evolver could greatly increase one’s lifespan. Which rich person didn’t want to live a long life? Even ordinary people wanted to live a long life. Of course, people like Chu Ze who lived a miserable life weren’t included.
The longer a person lived a miserable life, the longer they would suffer. They didn’t want to live that long.
Looking at the page of the evolutionary guidance drug, Li Manman was considering whether she should use this account to ask the shop owner about how to use the evolutionary guidance drug.
But in the end, she gave up and switched to activities that she had to do every day.
That was to watch the latest news about mutated creatures.
After clicking on the news interface, a headline appeared in Li Manman’s eyes.
[ A mutation has occurred in Lake Mweru downstream. A highly aggressive mutant creature has appeared. ]
