STB Chapter 156: Slinking Off
Whatâs the difference between bringing a mushroom home and bringing a thief home?
Even if the customs are locked and refused any Chinese, the Devourer has a new ability thatâs not documented in the book. The mushrooms can transport people around the world!
When the biggest villains can come and go in their own country and can kill whoever they want, how would this end?
Even if Britain, France, Russia, and the United States ignored it, some small countries have been active in ordering it. These countries had little money, but it didnât matter since mineral resources can be used as money! Colonel Lu presented a few bottles on behalf of the country to those who have a long term cooperative relationship with China.
Jian Hua who watched the whole process: ......
What valid for three days? As long as there are ability holders, it can be replenished at any time.
Colonel Lu is very principled and gave the mycelium bottle an expiration date of three days. Heâs determined to sell it for only two days, so when someone slyly dropped in the door to find him, Colonel Lu put on the friendly smile heâd cultivated during his 10 years tenure as Deputy Director of Guangshi Administration and said that the warranty period had passed. They had to wait for a special plane to transfer the mycelium bottles over.
The meeting venue is not on top of the sea, but on an island country in Southeast Asia. The reason is that the expense at sea would be too much.
The venue was very shabby, not to mention the accommodation. It was a local resort, but because of the damage from the Abandoned World, the whole town was destroyed. If they went out of their room and turn two bends, theyâd see one wall of the hallway destroyed. The resort has its own generator, but they could barely use it.
Some countries had to send for a plane to provide them with food and drink every few days, while other people can only endure. The trick is to gnaw on biscuits and to drink filtered fresh water, but they still had to roll up their sleeves to fight every day.
The island is near the equator with no four seasons. April is so hot that people canât stand it.
The heat is not that unbearable, itâs the mosquitos that run wild.
High order ability holders have âfieldsâ so they wonât be bitten by mosquitoes, but those with no ability and those with a limited field canât sleep because the mosquitoes are so noisy.
Thereâs not much pressure for the Chinese since there is mycelium on the walls and doors of their room. Unless the mosquito didnât rest, it wouldnât be able to flap its wings after being caught.
Just for this, someone snuck up to Colonel Lu wanting to buy a mycelium bottle ten days laterââwithout returning home, this is the only thing they could use! They had no other choice.
Although itâs called a meeting, theyâre really just fighting every day.
About the energy director, the United States has a set of ready-made equipment, so of course, it would collect money. How could the country continue research without any funds? The response from all countries is that theyâll pay for it, but there had to be full technology disclosure. They had to study it together and complete it as soon as possible to save the future of mankind. The United States is not willing and proposed that the countries should send scientists to come over.
The world is so dangerous right now. If they send someone casually, who can guarantee their safety?
Therefore, scientists from all countries must be protected by the national guard, and the number of people should be according to the UN peacekeeping model. But how to sign the relevant agreements and mutual supervision......
Theyâve been arguing for more than half a month, but the conference didnât produce any results.
That evening, Li Fei routinely knocked on the door of the room where Jian Hua lived. Itâs filled with the scent of canned meat that the plane that just came today sent.
With some freshly caught shrimp and shellfish, noodles, and meat in a small pot cooking, this is already regarded as a very decent meal.
The chef responsible for cooking is a fire ability holder from Red Dragon. He knocked on the door every day to eat, and the others left just now. Li Fei glanced at the pot on the table and knew that Jian Hua still hadnât eaten.
Jian Hua didnât like to talk very much, so Li Fei didnât even say hello when he came over. He just sat down and picked up the chopsticks so they could have dinner together.
Li Fei has long known Jian Huaâs taste through observation.
Jian Hua is not a picky eater. He is a man who had lived a hard life, and if he canât eat, then he could endure, but people always had something they like and donât like to eat. Jian Hua never mentioned his preferences, but Li Fei, who ate with him, naturally picked up on the things that Jian Hua didnât like.
If people who didnât know them see this, they must think Li Fei is overbearing. He picked up the shrimps first, and the leftovers are the things that Jian Hua âdidnât likeâ.
In front of this pot, Li Feiâs behavior became more âout of characterâ. He not only peeled the shells but also dumped the peeled shrimp back to the pot. If you didnât see the process, you wouldnât believe it. When the pot was empty and his plate clean, the shrimp shells are piled up like a mountain on Li Feiâs plate.
In fact, someone ate the shrimp but did not peel it even once.
No need to mention it. The chopsticks paused when they occasionally intersect, and they looked at each otherâs eyes......calm with no estrangement, itâs the life that Jian Hua liked.
The water in the room canât be consumed directly, but using it to wash dishes is no problem.
Because the weather is hot, the water is also hot. When fingertips probed into the water and scrubbed the utensils, another pair of hands often dipped in. Working very seriously, the fingers inevitably rubbed on the otherâs wrists while avoiding the oil that floated on the water.
After the dishwashing is finished, the person with impure thoughts is slightly short of breath.
The original facilities of the resort is very good. Although it was damaged, after the ability holdersâ maintenance and mushroom remedy, itâs not too uncomfortable to live in. For example, the bathtub in the bathroom is huge, but without the massage function.
The men are about to take a bath and even brought their clothes in.
The bathtubâs four sides are too smooth, and Jian Hua couldnât find any support points. He tried to lean on the mushroom soap rack, but afraid that itâll slip, he subconsciously recalled it into mycelium. White filaments attached to the blushing red skin, showing a strangely erotic atmosphere.
The number of mycelium is not much, and they only appeared since Jian Huaâs emotions are out of control. However, they followed their instinct and delightedly met up with Li Fei. It effortlessly hooked on and climbed up his body. When the mycelium went to that place......
Li Feiâs body suddenly went stiff.
The intensity of the collision disappeared, and Jian Huaâs confused consciousness gradually recovered. He immediately found what was wrong, so he stretched and ripped off the mycelium. His fingers inevitably rubbed that place and Li Feiâs important part.
Then more than half of Jian Huaâs body was pressed into the water, forced to go up and down by Li Fei as he leaned on one side of the bathtub. Pain enveloped every nerve and quickly morphed into a feeling of pleasure and soreness.
The water surged, mixed with ambiguous sounds.
Itâs so hot that they melted.
Night came late on the island. After the sky went completely dark, there was a sudden knock outside the door.
The two just finished cleaning up in the bathroom, so they deliberately made some distance to avoid getting too excited and letting the dark behemoth devour more abilities of Li Fei. Jian Hua gradually got used to Li Feiâs closeness, but only willpower allowed him to restrain his abilities at the last minute and avoided the dilemma of reducing Li Feiâs power for a long time.
The dark behemoth is not satisfied. Of course, itâll have opinions.
Fortunately, itâs lazy, so as long as the excitement cooled down, it didnât matter if Li Fei approached Jian Hua again.
The knock on the door was very short. Red Dragon people wouldnât dare come to disturb them. Jian Hua pretended to be Colonel Luâs entourage, and even some Chinese diplomats are not aware of his identity. Colonel Lu didnât show any special attention towards Jian Hua, so no one would come to bother him at night.
Signaling Li Fei not to go out, Jian Hua quickly put on clothes and opened the door.
Outside the door is Colonel Luâs bodyguard, and also a member of Red Dragon. As soon as he saw Jian Hua, he immediately gestured and dodged inside the door.
âWeâre immediately evacuating all personnel......can you swim?â
Jian Hua subconsciously nodded, then he didnât feel very good, because he remembered that Li Fei didnât seem very good at it.
âOur submarine is stopped three nautical miles away. There are boats on the shore, but to prevent accidents, we must be prepared.â The Red Dragon member gave Jian Hua a life jacket, turned around and went elsewhere.
âGive me another one, Li Feiâs here with me.â Jian Hua naturally reached out.
â......â
In your place or in your bed?
The Red Dragon memberâs eye twitched. Thereâs no time to say anything else, so he gave another life jacket, and told him again, âDonât bring anything, itâs an urgent situation.â
What else is there to say? The two quickly put on life jackets. Two minutes later, everyone was rounded up and quietly walked to the beach.
Colonel Lu arrived first, his face livid. He didnât say anything as he signaled everyone to board.
The boats were very worn out. It was the tour boats belonging to the resort, but they didnât dare open the motor near the shore. This thing is hard to row manually, but the resort was full of scattered wooden boards that they collected in advance as paddles.
Except for the two familiar faces that often appear in the news, the other diplomats are mostly from the military. When they chose the delegates, they looked for those who are strong and healthy, so itâs not too difficult to paddle the boat.
The coastline gradually moved away. After the motor started, Li Fei finally knew what happened.
âThe United States wanted to drop a nuclear bomb here.â
â......â
âThis matter has received strong support from Japan, oh, and several other countries.â Colonel Lu muttered a curse in a dialect, âThere are not many high order ability holders who attended this meeting. I thought no brainless idiot would move. In the end, thereâre still fools who mentioned this thing.â
Li Fei went silent.
In the bookâs global conference of ability holders, a nuclear bomb can indeed eliminate 99% of high order ability holders, but they didnât do this in the original work. That is because the conference was initiated by the United States on behalf of the double system S-class ability holder Hulakan to discuss how to deal with the Devourer.
âSome people see through the disguise, and guessed that Iâm here?â Jian Hua frowned.
Just to kill Flame Demon, itâs not worth dropping a nuclear bomb. If they knew that the real Jian Hua and Li Fei are here, itâs no surprise that the politicians had this idea.
Extreme radicals always advocate the most direct means to solve the problem.
âNo, theyâre trusting in luck.â
They would rather make a mistake than let this opportunity pass.
âThe Americans ran away?â There are many people on this island.
âNo, if it wasnât for Red Dragon who intercepted their intelligence and deciphered the content, weâll all be kept in the dark.â Colonel Lu was distraught to say, âThe two-party system in the United States had a lot of backstabbing each other. We had no tangible evidence to identify them, but right now, the order from above is to retreat immediately.â
People attending the Global Security Summit, to put it nicely, are politicians from all countries, but in fact, the nations only sent their second or third in commands. Itâs a domestic mess in their own countries, how could the first in command leave?
âAbility holders suddenly showed their abilities and would get the blame of killing politicians from all countries......anyway, their people were not killed by them, so Human Rights and Democracy would become nonsense. The magnitude of nuclear bombs is enough to destroy this island. With the world right now, there would be no reporters who would search the ruins in the middle of the sea to look for problems and expose them.â
âThatâs crazy!â Li Fei said to himself.
Colonel Lu waved, âYou canât play politics with a normal personâs IQ. Actually, itâs not just the US. Other countries also thought about using nuclear weapons.â Did some countries do anything less during their history of world wars?
âThere is talk, but did they really have a plan?â
âAccording to our intelligence, itâs ready to launch......, but they faced domestic opposition. To stop this, theyâre going to leak things out, and let other countries put pressure on them.â
The motor sound against the waters is very harsh.
âWait, it sounded more than ours......â
Li Fei looked into the distance and saw shadows from afar. The seawater rolled in the distance as if a submarine floated up.
âThey probably all ran away.â Li Fei hooked his mouth.
Everyone: ......
Although they canât see very clearly with no magic eyes, they wanted to know too. The submarines waiting under the sea should discover the submarines from other countries through their radar. This would be very embarrassing.
