Third Cub Was Taken Away (Continued)

Root thought that perhaps in some ways, Tao Qiu's disguise was more sophisticated than his own.

They were both mutated monsters who were highly compatible with humans. If it weren't for the fact that it needed to eat him to survive, they might have become good friends.

Root speculated that perhaps after it devoured Tao Qiu, it could also transform into human form, making it easier to operate in human society instead of having to pretend to be friendly and choose a few humans to cooperate with every time.

The more he imagined a bright future, the more eager the Root became to devour Tao Qiu.

It inquired about a lot of information about the Snow Bird and Tao Qiu in the wild and at the base. As a mutated monster, the Snow Bird was extremely friendly to humans, which made it difficult for humans to hate it.

Furthermore, Tao Qiu knows how to use that energy to grow special crops, and humans who eat these special crops have a higher probability of awakening supernatural abilities.

Even though the ordinary residents of the base eat crops whose effects have been significantly weakened, they can still eat their fill and maintain good health.

From any perspective, Tao Qiu is impeccable to humans, even though he is a mutated monster.

Faced with absolute self-interest, even mutated monsters, who are natural enemies, can be treated as honored guests by humans. Root himself has experienced this firsthand.

Therefore, it anticipated from the beginning that by exposing Tao Qiu's identity, it would ruin Tao Qiu's family's reputation, subject them to attacks and insults from the entire base, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill Tao Qiu and successfully devour him.

Therefore, after organizing the photos and handing them to the man, she didn't tell him to go find Lou Yu and Tao Qiu immediately, but instead told him to wait.

During the time the man was waiting, Root, through several other people it had brainwashed, contacted the heads of the major families in the base.

Root stayed in the Shen Family? For twenty years, it has known many of the Shen Family's confidential documents, not to mention several phone numbers.

Root instructed the brainwashed individuals to tell several key figures that the grains, vegetables, and seeds sold by the Lou Family all came from the Yong'an Base, cultivated by a guy named Tao Qiu. This Tao Qiu was also a mutated monster capable of taking human form.

The food they ate at the central base was actually several times less effective. The truly special crops were far more beneficial to the human body; ordinary people who ate them would live longer and have a higher chance of successfully awakening their superpowers. Superpowered individuals who ate them could rapidly enhance their abilities. Even the defective products could turn them into true superpowered individuals.

The Yong'an Base has nurtured several superhumans thanks to this.

Lou Yu and Lou Quan didn't even tell the Lou Family about these things; the two brothers were quietly making a fortune at the satellite base.

In short, Tao Qiu is an inexhaustible Eldest Treasure, so come and grab it!

It also told these people in charge that it hadn't informed the Lou Family, and that they should come secretly without telling them, otherwise, if the Lou Family found out, they would only be able to pick up the leftovers.

The puppets wanted to use the credit of informing on others to exchange for the opportunity to live in the central base. After listening to the puppets, the families initially had doubts and made the puppets prove their points.

Following the Root's instructions, the puppets said directly, "You can see the evidence when you come. Of course, you can also choose not to believe it, just don't regret it when others are eating meat and you can't even smell the aroma."

After making the threat, he said no more and hung up the phone.

Root couldn't believe that with such plump and tempting bait here, these guys wouldn't take the bait.

When it was time to notify the Shen Family, Root the puppet add a question after delivering the bait, "How are the trees at home growing?" Realizing that Root was behind the phone, they would no longer have any suspicions.

Having arranged everything, Root estimated the fastest time it would take for the Central Base to reach the Yong'an Base. Before their arrival, he planned to use Tao Qiu's identity to create some chaos.

If this plan succeeds, it will eat Tao Qiu escape back to its own body, leaving the fate of these humans to their own devices.

Even if this plan fails, the central base will arrive quickly, so quickly that Tao Qiu and Lou Yu won't have time to react.

With pressure from several major families and no intervention from the Lou Family, Lou Quan and Lou Yu were powerless to protect Tao Qiu, and Tao Qiu had no chance of escaping.

After seeing Tao Qiu stabilize the situation during the day, the Root knew that Plan A had failed. Without the slightest regret or lingering sentimentality, it immediately began to implement Plan B.

It was already past nine o'clock at night. The night sky was dark, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and not a single star could be seen.

After Lou Quan finished speaking, Lou Yu and Tao Qiu realized the seriousness of the problem and picked up the three children and ran outside.

But what was bound to happen, happened anyway.

Lou Quan's communicator beeped. When he answered, a monitor's voice, practically splitting in terror, came from the other end. "Commander, radar has detected multiple helicopters approaching the base. We're surrounded! Should we activate the emergency plan?"

Before Lou Quan could answer, a trusted aide who had been waiting outside rushed in, handing him a communicator with a grave expression. "The Lou Quan Lou Family, the Shen Family, the Bai Family, and the Zheng Family all request to speak with you. They say they'll be arriving at the base soon."

Lou Quan glanced at the communicator and, without hesitation, said to Lou Yu and Tao Qiu, "I'll stall them here for a bit, before they surround us. You two go through the other gate and don't go back to the valley yet; find somewhere else to hide first."

The Third Cub, being held by Tao Qiu, looked at Lou Quan and said fearfully, "Uncle, let's go together."

The Second Cub chimed in, "We can fly! We'll take you away!"

In just one day, their peaceful life underwent a dramatic change. Although the three children were precocious, they were still children after all, and at this moment, they were suppressing their inner panic.

Hearing that the bad guys were coming, everyone was about to run away, and they finally felt a little relieved. But reality seemed to be different from what they expected; only their family was going to leave.

Lou Quan patted their heads and quickly said, "The bad guys' target is you. They might hurt you, so you have to leave. But we're just ordinary people, they won't do anything to us. We can't fly, and if we go with you, we'll just be a burden. Be good, go stay outside for a while, and then come back with your dads later."

"Uncle..." The Third Cub's eyes reddened, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

"Alright? Don't delay, let's go." Lou Quan Lou Yu, waved to them, and then reached for the communicator.

The Eldest Cub, perched on his father's shoulder, saw Lou Quan coldly bring the communicator to his ear amidst the bumpy ride.

"I am Lou Quan, Commander-in-Chief of the Yong'an Base. May I ask what brings you all here so late at night?"

The adults ran very fast, and Lou Quan quickly disappeared from their sight.

After exiting the house through the back door, Huo Lan and several soldiers escorted Tao Qiu's family to the side door. The mutated monster that was hiding had not yet appeared, and they were always at risk of being ambushed.

The side gate is some distance from the residential area and requires a car to get there.

Tao Qiu and her cubs could fly over in their bird forms faster, but their silhouettes would be too obvious and easily spotted.

The vehicle was driven by soldiers. Tao Qiu went up to check it first, and only after confirming that there were no problems did she get in with her child.

There were three cars in total. Tao Qiu's family was in the middle car, driven by Chen Lin, and Huo Lan was also inside.

Huo Lan seized the last moment to hug her three children. Afraid of upsetting them, she didn't say a word, but her eyes were already red.

Besides the sadness of impending separation, the car was filled with an atmosphere of anxiety and unease; everyone wished they could reach the side door in the next second.

But sometimes, the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen. When the convoy reached an intersection, the lead car suddenly braked sharply, forcing the two cars behind it to stop as well.

"What happened?" Huo Lan, like a frightened bird, shielded the baby in his arms.

Lou Yu, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to the others and said, "You guys stay in the car, I'll go down and take a look."

The car door opened and closed quickly. Lou Yu stepped forward, and several soldiers from the car in front got out.

"There's a car blocking the road, and there are people inside," the soldier reported immediately upon seeing Lou Yu approach.

When Lou Yu followed his gaze, the door of the car blocking the road had already opened, and several men stepped out, carrying sticks and walking towards them menacingly.

Several soldiers drew their guns and rushed forward, shouting sternly, "What do you want?!"

Lou Yu also took a step forward, but in the next instant he realized something was wrong.

That mutated monster couldn't possibly be unaware that their group had guns and superhumans, so sending these few useless bastards was definitely not going to stop them.

But what if its purpose isn't solely to stop them?

"Oh no!" Lou Yu immediately turned and ran towards the car where Tao Qiu and the others were.

He had only run two steps when he saw the car, like a toy, being tossed into the air by a "naughty child," before crashing to the ground with a thud, sparks flying everywhere.

Lou Yu's eyes widened, his mind buzzed, the scene before him blurred into a jumbled mess, and he seemed to hear nothing at all.

He wanted to run over, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead, so heavy that he couldn't move an inch; he wanted to shout, but his throat was so tight and painful that he almost forgot how to make a sound.

Lou Yu thought he had been standing there in a daze for a long time, but in fact, less than ten seconds had passed.

Just as Lou Yu was on the verge of fainting from despair, a voice calling "Lou Yu's father" pulled his attention back from the abyss.

He turned his head and saw that the three children and their teammates were all standing safely next to the last car. Tao Qiu had transformed back into her bird form at some point and was protecting everyone under her wings, staring fiercely at the spot where the second car had been parked.

There's a hole there; it seems like the thing that just flipped the vehicle came out of it.
