The Fish Borrows the Bird's Might and Complains to Qiuqiu

With Lou Yu, they no longer just have two superhumans, but two superhumans who have successfully transformed from defective individuals into normal superhumans!

How could this not excite the professor and his colleagues?

"For now, we attribute Zhao Tao's stable ability to the success of the two training programs." The doctor's expression calmed considerably at this point. "But we feel something's not quite right. The methods we can think of, the Central Base couldn't possibly have missed. Why? There must be another reason we haven't discovered."

Lou Yu comforted him, saying, "Don't underestimate yourself. You've worked tirelessly day and night, and your contributions are definitely the greatest."

Lou Yu wasn't pretending; he genuinely thought so. He knew those fruits were meant to strengthen the body, but if Zhao Tao didn't follow the doctor's plan to train, even if he ate the fruits, it would only mean he died sooner or later.

The combination of these two factors has led to today's positive outcome.

The professor patted Lou Yu on the shoulder and chuckled, "Captain Lou, you really know how to talk. Alright, go see Comrade Zhao Tao. He must be eager to share this good news with you too."

Lou Yu said goodbye to the professor and the others, and arrived at Zhao Tao's room. The door was not closed. Just as he was about to knock, Zhao Tao ran out excitedly.

"Captain Lou!" Zhao Tao looked at Lou Yu with shining eyes.

He wanted to say something more? Lou Yu shook his head and pushed him into the house, "Let's talk inside."

Chapter 71 The fish, relying on the bird's power, complains to Qiuqiu.

"Right, right, go in? Tell me." Zhao Tao grinned like a complete idiot.

After closing the door, Zhao Tao invited Lou Yu to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and then continued to look at him with those eyes that seemed to be shining.

"Captain Lou? Um, may I use a different form of address?"

Lou Yu didn't really care what he was addressed as, as long as it wasn't too inappropriate. He took a sip of water and asked, "What do you want to call me?"

Zhao Tao asked expectantly, "Can I call you brother? Brother Lou?"

"Can."

Zhao Tao became even more excited. He said, "Brother, you haven't come these past few days, so I didn't know. A few days after I ate the fruit you gave me, I felt a big change in my body. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's like my body, which was weak and listless after being sick, gradually became energetic again. I feel like I have inexhaustible energy, and I'm not sleepy at all."

Seeing that Lou Yu suddenly looked over after he finished speaking, Zhao Tao quickly added, "However, I didn't over-exercise, nor did I skip sleep; I strictly followed the doctor's plan."

Upon hearing this, Lou Yu also withdrew his gaze.

Zhao Tao regained his energy. "Yesterday, the doctor and the others told me that the superpower within me has gone dormant. I was so happy! If I could easily leave the research institute, I would have told you this good news right away."

Zhao Tao smiled broadly, "The effects of those fruits are really amazing! The PhDs asked me if I knew how it happened, and I couldn't really explain it. Hehe, Brother Lou, didn't I do a great job?"

"You promised to keep the secret, and you've done a great job so far. Keep it up." Lou Yu praised him, then said seriously, "This fruit can only strengthen your physique at most, allowing you to better withstand and control your supernatural abilities. If you want to become stronger, you still need to work hard to train. You must not try to take shortcuts or slack off because of this."

"I understand, Brother Lou," Zhao Tao assured him. "I will definitely follow your instructions and train diligently. Once my special ability has completely stabilized, I will be able to fight alongside you."

Lou Yu smiled and said, "I'm also looking forward to that day coming soon."

Lou Quan knew that Zhao Tao's ability was stable, and he also rewarded the entire research team, including Zhao Tao himself.

However, when he occasionally met Lou Yu for work, the way he looked at Lou Yu always seemed to have something to say but couldn't. Since he didn't say anything, Lou Yu pretended not to know.

In the days that followed, Lou Yu continued working as usual, occasionally thinking about what else he could bring for Tao Qiu and the children. He would go shopping during his holidays, to the point that his teammates were tired of seeing him do it.

During this period, Lou Yu actually went out of the base to carry out a mission, but the direction was opposite to Snow Bird's territory, so he couldn't go and take a look along the way.

Finally, the day to pick up the materials arrived. Lou Yu got up early in the morning, carrying a steamed bun he had prepared the night before, and drove his car, which was packed full, away from the base.

Because of Lou Yu as a superhuman, the monsters coveted his flesh and blood even more, and at the same time, they feared him even more.

Every time he went out alone, there were mutated monsters secretly observing him on the road.

Those who knew they couldn't beat him wouldn't dare to act rashly, no matter how greedy they were. Those who could beat him were also wary of his special abilities and didn't want to get hurt for a piece of meat, so they didn't make a move against him.

Another very important reason is that information about the mutated monsters in the vicinity is basically shared. Everyone knows that the Snow Bird particularly values this human, and we've seen the Snow Bird escort this human back several times before.

The Snow Bird's power is known to all the mutated monsters; it's not worth offending him for a piece of meat.

Therefore, the road between Lou Yu's base and Tao Qiu's territory is considered unobstructed.

However, a small surprise occurred today.

Tao Qiu and Black Rabbit's territories overlap, Lou Yu had to drive through there. This time, as soon as he arrived nearby, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end, and a strong sense of crisis overwhelmed him.

After looking around, Lou Yu finally discovered the source of the danger at the edge of the forest on the side of the road.

A huge Black Rabbit stood under a tree not far from the road, its blood-red eyes coldly staring at him as if observing something unpleasant. Its murderous aura was undiminished, and its imposing presence was extremely intimidating.

Lou Yu didn't stop the car because the Black Rabbit remained standing still and showed no intention of attacking him. However, for the sake of his own life, he still quietly made defensive preparations.

As he expected, Black Rabbit didn't chase after him until he entered Tao Qiu's territory.

Watching the car disappear in the direction it had gone, Black Rabbit narrowed its large, blood-red eyes.

He only recently received the news that the mutated monsters that attacked the human base had been almost completely wiped out, but a few managed to escape.

According to them, there was a creature in the base that smelled even better than other humans, and somehow managed to kill many mutated monsters in an instant.

The mutated monsters had a hard time understanding the concept of "superpowers." In their eyes, Lou Yu simply waved his hand a few times, and many of them died.

Besides firearms, the mutated monsters now have something else they fear.

However, the mutated monsters also said that the human didn't seem to be able to use that strange ability for long. They had seen him kill a mid-level mutated monster with all his might, and then his face suddenly turned very pale, as if he was about to die.

Distinguishing this human from other humans is also simple: this human has a stronger and more distinctive scent, and you can sense danger emanating from him. He will never mistake him for someone else once he encounters him.

Black Rabbit only learned of this news a few days ago, but what he didn't expect was that the strange humans mentioned by those mutated monsters might have some connection with the Snow Bird.

Black Rabbit could sense that this human's strength was below his own; he could kill him, but considering Snow Bird's feelings, he refrained from doing so.

I just don't know how this human managed to win over the Snow Bird so much. Was it really just for the supplies?

Has the Snow Bird discovered he has special abilities? Could he be a threat to the Snow Bird?

Black Rabbit planned to ask Snow Bird clearly in a couple of days when she went to find him. Humans were far more cunning than mutated monsters, and Snow Bird had three chicks. What if this human was after Snow Bird and his chicks?

Tao Qiu and her three cubs, whom Black Rabbit was concerned about, had just finished lunch and were waiting for Lou Yu's arrival in the cave.

Tao Qiu is actively trying to make Lou Yu stand out in front of the kids.

Lou Yu said he'll bring you gifts this time. Want to guess what they are?

The children were a little surprised to hear this news. Was Lou Yu trying to win their father's favor by acting like he really liked them and treated them well?

In the eyes of the children, Lou Yu was still an egg? They were born and then left, so he already harbored resentment towards them. He had never even met them or spent any time with them, so how could he possibly like them much?

The so-called "giving gifts" is just a way to make Dad feel loved and to gain more of his affection.

However, it was a small matter, and the children didn't want to upset their father, so they cooperated by telling him their guesses.

Eldest Cub: "Delicious?"

Second Cub: "Is it fun?"

Third Cub: "You mean what my older brother and sister said?"

Tao Qiu gently rubbed their little faces and chuckled, "Aren't you usually so imaginative? Why are you so lacking in vocabulary today?"

Second Cub hugged Tao Qiu's arm and said sweetly, "Baby, can't think of anything?"

Tao Qiu wasn't really blaming them, was he? Seeing Second Cub with such an adorable face saying those things to him, Tao Qiu's heart softened completely.

"Alright, alright, can't figure it out? Never mind, I'll bring it back later and you'll all know."

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Tao Qiu felt it was about time, so he left the children at home to play by themselves, while he took the prepared lunch crops and his mobile phone and flew out of the valley.

The kids watched his retreating figure, sighing and looking quite old-fashioned.

Second Cub: "In the TV series, they said this is called being blinded by love."

Third Cub: "Lou Yu is what you call a 'femme fatale'."

Eldest Cub: "Right, Dad's? His male confidant, the one who caused the trouble? It was us."

"Achoo!" Lou Yu, who had just stopped the car, sneezed for no apparent reason.
