Chapter 138: Chapter 101: Beauty? As a Champion of Justice, I Must See What’s Going On!
“Damn it, are we going to be mocked without doing anything?” Lawrence slammed the table in anger again.
Faced with these old foxes from a political background, Lawrence, who did not understand the concept of checks and balances, hated them so much that his teeth itched, yet he was always rendered speechless by their few sharp words.
If he were not holding a heavy military force, this politically ignorant old man would probably have been kicked out long ago.
“I suggest sending a mechanized armored division to test the waters with this Apostle codenamed ’Violent Dragon’,” another elder from the East slowly spoke, “Lawrence, since you strongly advocate, why not lead the team yourself, how about it?”
Lawrence was about to readily agree but instantly realized.
Leading his direct units out, it’s uncertain whether they would win, and if there’s a significant loss, would there still be good prospects for himself upon return?
He’s not good with words, but he’s not foolish!
“I think this matter still needs careful planning,” Lawrence decisively deferred, “I believe a mechanized armored division is too much; what Wu said earlier is correct, we don’t have many resources left, we need… to calculate tightly!”
The elderly gentleman and Wu Shoupeng exchanged a knowing glance, both revealing a disdainful snicker in their hearts.
The teacher doesn’t deceive me; people are always adept at compromising.
Thus, the meeting once again followed a familiar process.
A bunch of old foxes who never thought about counterattack sat together, what result could they discuss?
After rounds of evasion and squabbling, in addition to multiple interest exchanges, they incredulously took a full three days just to barely finalize a result.
The Salvation First Army finally decided to send two irregular brigades toward the City of War, granted bombing permissions, prepared to ambush when Lu Wenwu launched an attack on the City of War, to probe its true combat power.
However, before their troops even set off, Lu Wenwu, rushing rapidly using the Demon Dragon Wings, had already arrived at the City of Life…
Countless hundred-meter-high giant trees rose from the ground, like demonic claws raised high to hold the sky.
The black trunks are not adorned with lush green leaves but rather strange branches twisted together like a tower of white bones.
The whole city appears dark.
Gray-white and dim is the main tone here, like a faded old photograph.
Looking at the city in front, which seems not to belong to the human world, Lu Wenwu took out the map and the compass to compare several times, always feeling something was not quite right.
Where is the promised Life Apostle and City of Life?
How does anything around here relate to life?
The couple stood at the city’s outskirts for a good five minutes.
Lan Shan said with a strange expression, “Brother Wu, is this… really the City of Life?”
“Probably… is it?” Lu Wenwu was also somewhat uncertain, “Anyway, we’re here, let’s go in. Once we kill the bosses inside the city, we’ll know whether it’s the City of Life or not.”
Lan Shan: “???”
Such a simple and crude way of judgment!
Indeed, Lu Wenwu’s style is just like that.
When uncertain, just charge straight in.
If the problem isn’t solved, it means the charge wasn’t powerful enough!
Lu Wenwu, leading Mao Mao, took the lead, stepping forward, with Lan Shan closely following.
As they genuinely stepped into the gray-white area of the City of Life, the two of them and Mao Mao both distinctly felt an unknown sinister force covering their bodies.
This power indeed contained abundant life energy but was also very sinister, seemingly capable of affecting thoughts and perception.
Walking forward, the appearance of the city buildings was fully imprinted in their eyes.
Large swathes of crimson vines and plants covered the tall buildings entirely.
Roots with self-awareness seemed to be rooted in the concrete, writhing like snakes, continually creeping.
Lan Shan shivered, moving closer to Lu Wenwu.
This somewhat disgusting scene made her feel uneasy.
Somewhat like though humans could easily crush insects, many would instinctively avoid them.
A faint rustling sound appeared in the distance, seemingly something dragging a mass of plants.
Lu Wenwu unleashed his massive Spiritual Power, witnessing a horrifying sight.
It was a creature seemingly humanoid, gnawing at a soft fruit.
Or rather, a humanoid-like creature.
Its body covered with strange plant vines, roots, and stems seemed to have fused with its flesh, continually writhing, seemingly extracting something.
Where there should be hair was covered with hard masses, and the human arm had been replaced by tree trunk-like rigid twisted brown structures.
It fixed its gray-green eyes, eyelids flipping like a stack of leaves, viciously munching on the fruit in its hand.
Juice flowed abundantly, showing a satisfied expression.
Upon close inspection, the dripping viscous liquid strikingly resembles plasma.
And the fruit being gnawed twitched, shaking the soil covering it.
Such a scene, how similar it is to a biological heart?
“Phew phew! What is that! Was it… once a person?”
Lan Shan also saw this humanoid-like creature, feeling her scalp tingling.
Lu Wenwu immediately activated the Eye of Insight.
[No. 1 Giant Tree Life Faithful Human Sub-Body (C)]: 1458/???
[Current State]: Hive Mind, Life Instinct, Flesh Remodeling, Life Fusion, Life Blessing…
“It… might have been a person once,” Lu Wenwu hesitated rarely, “but now, it has probably become part of those giant trees.”
