Superbase Evolution

Chapter 20 Alive
If Lin Shen knew that Qi Tianfu would think this way, he would definitely think that he was blinded by greed.

On the way back, Lin Shen had already persuaded Wei Wufu to return the alloy egg to him and let him go wherever he wanted.

Wei Wufu had only one thing to say: since Lin Shen had fallen into his trap, he was Lin Shen's man and he would go wherever Lin Shen went.

Lin Shen didn't say anything more. It was obvious that Wei Wufu was coming for him. Even if he didn't trap him, Wei Wufu would definitely find other ways to stick to him.

"It seems that Wei Wufu is also here for Hulu Mountain. What kind of things are inside Hulu Mountain that attract strong men like Bai Shenfei and Wei Wufu to flock to it?" Lin Shen did not chase Wei Wufu away. He settled him in the guest room of the Lin family compound and had someone keep an eye on him secretly.

"Brother Xiaowu, I heard that you have brought Wei Wufu back?" Lao Ye came over quickly.

"That's right." Lin Shen nodded slightly.

"There must be something wrong with Wei Wufu. Both the Qi and Wang families sent people to invite him to join, but he refused. Wang Chuan, the alloy-based transformer of the Wang family, wanted to give him a warning, but his alloy shell was broken with just one punch." Lao Ye sighed, "Brother Xiaowu, you shouldn't have brought this trouble back."

"If I don't bring him back, will he not come?" Lin Shen said calmly, "Come if you want. There are many people who have ideas about our Lin family now, and he is not the only one."

Lao Ye wanted to say something, but Lin Shen spoke first: "I have already promised Concubine Bai that I will go to Hulu Mountain with her the day after tomorrow. People from the Qi and Wang families will also come with us. Go back and prepare, and come with me the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lao Ye's face suddenly changed, and he said anxiously: "Brother Xiaowu, you are confused, how can you bring outsiders to Hulu Mountain?"

"It's not me who takes them to Hulu Mountain, but Concubine Bai who takes us to Hulu Mountain." Lin Shen looked at him and said.

"She couldn't possibly know where Hulu Mountain is. She must be trying to trick you into taking her to Hulu Mountain. Tell me in detail what she said." Lao Ye's face was a little gloomy.

"I don't know where Hulu Mountain is. What's the point of her lying to me?" Lin Shen roughly recounted the content of his conversation with Bai Shenfei. Most of it was true, except for the part about Lao Ye.

"That's impossible. If it was really the Fourth Master who asked her to take you to Hulu Mountain, how could I not know about this?" Lao Ye's expression changed.

"Lao Ye, I have to go this time. Where is Hulu Mountain and what is there? Now you can tell me. We have to prepare in advance." Lin Shen stared at Lao Ye and said.

"Brother Xiaowu, did the Third Master and the Fourth Master really never tell you about Hulu Mountain?" Lao Ye asked thoughtfully.

"No." Lin Shen answered directly.

Lao Ye stared at Lin Shen for a long time before saying, "Third Master and Fourth Master didn't tell you, of course they have their reasons. If I told you, it might have delayed their business."

"Well, since we have already promised Concubine Bai, let's go to Hulu Mountain with her first to see what she is planning." Lao Ye thought for a while and said, "There are only a few alloy-based transformers in our family now. We have to decide who to take with us. At least two alloy-based transformers must be left behind to avoid being taken advantage of by the Qi and Wang families."

"No need. Third and fourth brothers are not here. Even if we bring all the alloy-based transformers with us, we are no match for the Qi and Wang families. So I only plan to take you with me. If that Wei Wufu must go, then we can take him along as well." Lin Shen said.

"How can this be possible..." Lao Ye shook his head quickly.

"Only if they all stay at the base can we protect our Lin family's business. With our third and fourth brothers at Hulu Mountain, we won't suffer any loss." Lin Shen interrupted Lao Ye again.

"What if the Third Master and the Fourth Master are trapped and can't escape?" Lao Ye continued to persuade.

"If they can't even protect themselves, what's the point of us bringing a few alloy-based transformers with us? Lao Ye, this is settled. If you think it's too dangerous, then stay in the base and help me guard the house." Lin Shen said lightly.

"I must stay by your side, Brother Xiaowu. Even if I have to risk my life, I have to ensure your safety. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the Fourth Master?" Lao Ye said excitedly.

"Then let's do this. You go back and prepare. We'll set off early the day after tomorrow." Lin Shen said.

"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare." Lao Ye said as he was about to leave, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly reached out and pressed on Lin Shen's chest.

Lao Ye's speed was too fast. Without the Seven Steps of Weaponry, Lin Shen had no time to react before Lao Ye's palm pressed on his chest. Lin Shen only felt a huge force coming at him, and he couldn't help but take several steps in a row. This was even though Lao Ye had forcibly restrained most of his strength in shock.

"Brother Xiaowu, you..." Lao Ye looked at Lin Shen in surprise and doubt.

"That's right, I'm not an alloy-based mutator, nor am I a steel-based mutator. I haven't mutated yet." Lin Shen said calmly.

"Then what happened to you..." Lao Ye asked doubtfully.

"The reason I was able to subdue the speedster was purely because my third brother gave me a life-saving item. Unfortunately, that item can only be used once. In that situation, I had no other choice but to use it." Lin Shen said.

"Brother Xiaowu, you really haven't undergone any genetic mutation?" Lao Ye still found it hard to believe.

"Look for yourself." Lin Shen rolled up his sleeves and stretched his arm in front of Lao Ye.

Lao Ye reached out and carefully touched Lin Shen's flesh and bones. After the mutation, even if he didn't use the power of the mutation, his body would be a little different, especially his bones. Their density would be higher than that of ordinary people's bones, and they would be harder. This could not be faked. Lao Ye knew as soon as he touched it that Lin Shen did not have a mutation.

"Brother Xiaowu, you haven't undergone genetic transformation yet. It's too dangerous to go to Hulu Mountain." Lao Ye looked at Lin Shen with a strange expression.

"It doesn't matter. You will protect me, right? What's more, if I say I won't go now, will the Qi and Wang families agree? Even if the Qi and Wang families agree, will Concubine Bai agree?" Lin Shen withdrew his arm and put down his sleeves.

"Don't worry, Brother Xiaowu. I, Lao Ye, will protect you even if I risk my life." Lao Ye swore.

"That's fine, go back and prepare. I can only rely on you this time." After sending Lao Ye away, Lin Shen fell into deep thought.

He felt that there were more and more suspicious points about Lao Ye, and he could no longer be trusted. The Qi and Wang families were watching covetously, and Bai Shenfei and Wei Wufu were difficult to guess. This trip was probably full of crises.

Lin Shen didn't quite believe either Bai Shenfei or Lao Ye, because his third and fourth brothers had said before that no matter what happened, they would not let Lin Shen go out to take risks.

So if it was them who asked Lin Shen to go to Hulu Mountain, Lin Shen was skeptical.

But if Lin Shen doesn't go, they will probably use tough measures. Not only will Lin Shen be forcibly taken to Hulu Mountain, but the Lin family that his brothers and sisters have worked hard to build for so many years will also suffer a heavy blow. So he has no choice.

"I must give myself some more bargaining chips. I hope the fire will be useful this time." Lin Shen placed the javelin-like corpse of the genetically modified creature beside the bed and lay down on it.

Wei Wufu's alloy egg is in Lin Shen's hands, but it takes time to hatch the alloy egg, so it may not be used for a while.

"The Speedster is a good helper, but to deal with such a complicated and dangerous situation, only one Speedster is not enough." Lin Shen regretted not getting a few alloy pets around him. Now he really had no place to get alloy pets.

He had rarely left the base before, and there were people protecting him inside the base, so he had no use for those pets at all.

"It seems that the only things I can rely on are those bug-like fires." Lin Shen thought about it and fell asleep in a daze.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Lin Shen felt like something cool was moving around his body. The coolness slid across his skin, making his hair stand up involuntarily, and he woke up.

When Lin Shen opened his eyes, his eyes widened and he almost jumped out of bed in fright.

It wasn't that he didn't want to jump up, but his body was entangled by something like a snake, tied up like a stick, and he couldn't jump up at all.

"That thing is alive!" Lin Shen looked at the thing that was like a snake, raising its head and looking at him, and finally saw its true appearance.
