Chapter 104: The Vicissitudes of the Sea
Lo had traveled to the Wilderness Wasteland, to the land favored and cursed by the Wilderness, and had met the Lenzi, the master of the degraded abilities but still able to drive the Bone Beasts. Renzi gave Lowe three choices, three full of temptations.
But Lowe eventually chose the fourth. He makes a deal with Renzi and has Panis secretly take Renzi back to Alik, along with the inhabitants of the ruined city who are struggling to survive in the wilderness.
Renzi traded his life and the lives of all the inhabitants of the ruined city for the promise of helping Alik once, and he had always stubbornly believed that he had taken a great advantage in this deal. Because the Wilderness didn't have enough severed limbs for him to use, his psychic abilities weren't as powerful as Luo thought.
The barren wilderness, the hungry mutated creatures, can almost gnaw at the bones.
Driving the bone beast is a kind of use of powerful spiritual power, and Luo can completely devour Renzi's spiritual power through instinctual devouring, which is indeed what Luo's instinct is extremely eager for at that time.
But Lowe doesn't think it's the wisest choice. At least this method is a huge waste of Renzi's true value, a waste of Renzi's surname, Stuart.
Renzi's psychic abilities are hard to stop destruction from coming, and the only person who has any hope of doing so is the only one who can do it.
Heidi.
It was almost impossible to convince or force Heidi to help. Lowe didn't think he was smarter than Heidi, but he still brought the battered headband back to Heidi's laboratory.
People always have weaknesses, even if it is Heidi, who is well disguised.
Lowe remembered that Renzi had said that there was a special ability in the blood of the Stuart family, and that was powerful spiritual power. It was this ability that only flowed in the blood that led the Stuart family to destruction.
There are many manifestations of strong spiritual power, and Luo thinks of the mob call of Chief Sothoth, of Renzi's bone-building beast, and of Heidi, who is more meticulous than his brain.
Heidi's body may also have the special blood of the Stuart family.
Therefore, Heidi, who is a cleaner, is reluctant to appear in the ruined city, and chooses to let Lo replace her to clean up Renzi, a sleeper with the surname Stuart.
And the shabby, small headband that was merely a memory, Heidi didn't forget to take it with her, even when she hurriedly left the Cardivan family research base.
Lowe still hasn't figured out what kind of grudge Heidi has with the Cardiffon family and the Stuart family. But it didn't matter, he didn't want to be driven by curiosity to force Heidi into a position hostile to him.
So, Lowe gambled, betting that Heidi would tie her fate to Alik for the sake of Renzi.
Luckily, Lowe seems to have won again, as Heidi eventually made his way to Alex in order to meet Renzi.
Lowe had no intention of eavesdropping on Heidi and Renzi's conversation. He even called out the owner of the tavern, the bearded man who had a close friendship with Panis, to help out on the streets, to help the Alec Abilities who had been badly injured and killed in the course of the hand-to-hand encounter.
Beard readily agreed to help those people, which indirectly saved his own life.
If Beard had heard any of Heidi's and Renzi's conversations, Heidi would probably have killed him without hesitation, even if it was only unintentional. Lowe believes Heidi should do that, because that's Heidi's style.
At some point, Lowe felt that Heidi was more ruthless than herself, and that perhaps Heidi was the one best suited to survive in the wilderness.
The thick aura of blood above the wilderness was still flowing into Alik. The clash of swords and spears continued, but there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two sides, and no one of the Adepts had ever stepped into Alik before the victory was decided.
Luo found Yi who was still busy, Yi's face was slightly pale, the frequent running and the thick bloody breath made her feel some discomfort, and the breathability of the isolation gown on her body was not as good as she imagined.
Panis was also busy nervously next to Yi, and the only ones who were more idle were Luo and Ming.
Hades is extremely indifferent to the lives and deaths of others, except for Lo and the people Lo cares about.
"I need your help."
Luo stood in front of Yi and waited until she was busy with the bandaging work in her hand before she said softly.
Yi looked up, her blue eyes met Lowe's, and the bracelet on her wrist was gone. The bracelet that symbolized the killing and coldness of the second-generation devourer had been carefully put away, and she didn't even want the first gift Luo gave her to be tainted with the smell of blood in the air.
"Lowe."
Yi's voice was very soft, so light that it didn't seem to want to disturb the stranger beside him who had already lost his breath.
"I need you to give my partner a name that will please him."
Lo and Yi stood side by side in Alik's messy street, reaching out to the beast waving its tentacles in the doorway.
Yi's gaze followed Luo's fingers to the hideous and huge existence, and the blue eyes seemed to be able to see through the thick carrion, and could see the mutated dolphin-like existence inside.
"It's so cute!"
Yi's words made Lowe slightly embarrassed, but he was still pleased with the girl's unique aesthetic. And the existence that was lazily lying at the door of Alik's base seemed to have heard Yi's praise, and stood up excitedly, countless tentacles dancing wildly, and greeting Yi.
It seems to be dancing, dancing because it has been praised by the girl.
Luo suddenly felt that maybe Yi was more suitable to be the owner of this little guy, at least he needed to coax for a while to barely achieve the effect of a simple sentence.
"Its home is not here, I can't see its home yet, it should be called ......"
Thinking about it, it seems that he is considering a good name to give to this cute little guy.
"Cang!"
Yi finally caught a name for it from the depths of her mind.
"Luo, it should be called Cang."
The beast's frantically dancing and swaying tentacles seemed to tremble faintly, excited to finally have their own name, excited to finally be recognized.
In the wildly dancing tentacle bush, the flattened oval brain body twisted rapidly, eventually forming a hideous beast head. The beast's head, which was covered with black and white spots and did not have any facial features, raised high and sent out a loud hiss towards the gray-white sky, the hiss was long and majestic, like a tiger's roar, like a dragon's roar.
It is the vicissitudes of the sea.
"What do you think I should be called?"
An icy voice sounded beside Lowe, it was Heidi's voice. The object of Heidi's inquiry was obviously Yi, who had just named the little one.
Yi had seen Heidi before, but she didn't know Heidi's name, she only felt that Heidi didn't seem to have any intention of hurting Lowe, so she smiled at Heidi again, a bright and silent smile.
"What do you think I should be called? My full name, can you find it? Help me find it and get it out of the way, okay? ”
Heidi stared at Yi's blue eyes, and a few beads of sweat overflowed from her cold and white forehead.
Lowe's face changed slightly, he had known Heidi for a long time, but he had never seen Heidi sweat.
She looked at Heidi, and she read a hint of longing in Heidi's clear eyes.
"You should call ......"
The blue color in Yi's pupils was even better, and even her jet-black hair began to be gradually permeated with blue.
"Heidi."
Yi seemed to finally find a name in her mind and whispered it.
"My last name! Tell me, my last name, say it! ”
Heidi suddenly stepped forward, to get closer, closer to the blue road, but was stopped by Luo, who had already appeared in front of Yi.
"Your Excellency Heidi, your request is not within the scope of our transaction."
Luo once again protected the girl behind his back as before, and even his body began to tremble slightly, preparing for the warm-up before the fight. The darkness that had always stood silently behind Luo had even revealed an undisguised murderous intent.
If Heidi has any intentions against her, Lo will not hesitate to tear up the agreement with Heidi.
Yi was silent again, and she stood behind Luo with her head bowed. Lowe's back can give her enough security for as long as she has a memory of her own.
Heidi inhaled slowly, the eagerness and longing in her eyes replaced by coldness once again.
"Lowe, please forgive me for offending her. Perhaps, we need to talk about it again and talk about how to make sure she is safe. You should feel that I have come to care about her life and death as much as you do. ”
Lo has made enough preparations for himself and his friends to survive this disaster.
He bowed his head to instinct and chose the evolutionary direction of group warfare. He took a high-level genetic potion and unlocked ten pairs of gene sequences. He summoned the Spider Race, and piled up mountains of severed limbs across the wilderness, amassing enough material for Renzi's army of carrions.
He even summoned his still-sleeping sacrificial beast and forcibly tied Heine and Heidi to his own ship of life.
His preparations were much more than that, he hadn't used the genetic potion stock solution, he hadn't gone to the chief to summon a mob of mobs, and Heidi's signed sapient creature test subject was still in his arms.
He thinks he can tear through the storm of destruction, but Heidi doesn't think so.
The two major families fighting on the battlefield may not even be the tip of the iceberg when they are exposed, and the foundation needs to be precipitated for a long enough time, and Alik is too young.
Heidi chose to side with Alik, but even if she bloodied the wilderness and slaughtered everyone fighting in the wilderness outside of Alik, Alik's fate could not be changed.
As much as Lowe hates to admit it, he knows that Heidi is right.
