Superpowered Love Academy

Tu Mi leaned against him, lowered the brim of her hat, and tied her hair into a ponytail for easier movement.

Because it was against beasts rather than humans, Zuo Le was inevitably a little nervous. He was only good at fighting humans, and his experience against beasts was limited to the few times he had summoned them.

The two remained silent, as if by unspoken agreement.

After the car passed the Middle Ring Road, the buildings outside the window began to thin out.

The factory's gray walls stretch along the road, and occasionally you can see people in blue overalls squatting or standing on both sides of the road, some waiting for a bus, some smoking.

The bus continued eastward, the road became increasingly bumpy, and the ground gradually turned muddy.

The distant sky and sea merged into a blurred boundary in the gray fog.

We've arrived at Mirror Lake.

"Get off the bus."

"Ah."

The two got out of the car and saw three yellow stickers used as a warning line.

Outside was a slightly muddy road.

Inside, there were uneven bumps, mud, and abandoned buildings.

If any strange creature manages to slip through the net and intrudes, it will inevitably break the warning stickers. Clearly, this is a low-cost early warning method.

Because if something strange intrudes, it won't be detected immediately.

We can only roughly determine the direction of the breakthrough.

If this strange creature were to intrude into the outer ring residential area and into the general population, it would be a disaster.

Of course, whether people from the outer ring are considered human beings by the upper echelons of the council is another matter.

Zuo Le himself is from the outer ring, even though the council's slogan is equality for all.

However, he felt that the outer ring people should be a comprehensive carrier that integrates 'cattle and horses, human warning line, human shield, consumables, and talent training base'.

Besides the two of them, there were three other men carrying metal weapons and wearing old tactical vests.

The group's gazes lingered on Zuo Le and Tu Mi for a moment, but they showed no interest in interacting with each other.

This is the edge of Mirror Lake, not the dock area or bar street.

If you flirt with girls in the bar street, no one will pay attention to you, because it's a place for people to relax and have fun.

But on the edge of Mirror Sea, there are many extraordinary people who live a life of various kinds.

If you cause trouble carelessly, you might run into some powerful family scion you can't afford to offend, or a master who's come to intern at Mirror Sky Academy.

Young people like Zuo Le and Tu Mi are clearly from Jingkong Academy.

Normal beachcombers would never provoke such a person.

"Come with me."

"it is good."

Tu Mi led Zuo Le across the cordon and into the restricted area.

Upon reaching the restricted area, Zuo Le suddenly remembered a sentence from an old textbook.

Originally, there was no road on the ground; it was formed by people walking on it.

The ground beneath our feet could be best described by this phrase.

Along the way, more and more broken buildings appeared, mixed together with calcified, bizarre corpses, covered in thick moss, which also obscured part of the view.

Broken seashells, scattered in tiny pieces, littered the entire path.

It is in a state of being broken but not completely crushed into powder.

All I can say is that if your shoes break while walking here, you're in luck.

"There are guards ahead, keep up." Tu Mi walked ahead, seemingly already used to holding Zuo Le's hand.

But as he was walking, his steps suddenly stopped, and he staggered, almost falling over.

Zuo Le quickly grabbed her and pulled Tu Mi's petite body into his arms.

However, his actions did not earn him any gratitude from Tu Mi, because Tu Mi stumbled and fell down precisely because she couldn't pull Zuo Le up.

The girl, dissatisfied, pulled down her mask and punched Zuo Le in the chest.

What are you doing?

Zuo Le remained silent and let her hit him; it was indeed his fault just now.

But he had a compelling reason to stop.

Tu Mi followed his gaze and saw only a broken stone tablet almost completely covered by moss and decaying matter.

The last small part of the stone tablet was broken, but the original text could still be seen from the broken parts.

Pudong Century Square

These few words, however, caused Zuo Le to fall silent.

His perception of his current state has always been that he has traveled into a game called "Darkest Hour".

The game's story background isn't very detailed; all that's known is that it's set in a fragmented era.

Was it really this broken?

Even Century Square in Pudong has it?

Is it the Pudong Century Square that he knows?

Tu Mi also noticed Zuo Le's unusual behavior. She quietly suppressed her dissatisfaction and reached out to poke Zuo Le's arm:

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Zuo Le smiled slightly, because he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't very well say that this place was connected to his hometown, could he?

"It's nothing, seeing this just reminded me of some things from my hometown."

When the topic of his hometown came up, Tu Mi assumed the orphan missed his mother, so she didn't say anything more.

"Okay, let me know when it's done."

"What's good or bad? Let's keep going." Zuo Le cut off his thoughts on this and continued to pull Tu Mi toward the sea.

It doesn't matter what era it is, he just wants to live well.

The two walked to the vicinity of several broken buildings, where human footprints could already be seen on the ground.

"That broken building up ahead is it," Tu Mi pointed.

Zuo Le stepped forward and saw a sign hanging on the broken floorboards.

Coastline Security Command

He took Tu Mi inside to get a permit from the staff to sign and register. After obtaining permission to go beachcombing, they finally arrived at the coastline of Mirror Sea.

Upon arriving here, Zuo Le immediately sensed a strong spiritual energy.

Here, the density of dark star particles far exceeds that of Mirror Sky Academy.

He gazed eastward...

The sea surface of Mirror Lake is very flat, almost like a mirror that has been polished countless times.

Even when the sky is obscured by embers, the remaining light still makes this mirror reflect light.

The sea had almost no waves, only slow undulations, like some huge creature breathing in its slumber.

Scattered along the shore were numerous skeletons of various colors and styles.

It includes humans, vertebrates, crustaceans, and arthropods.

They were pushed ashore by the slow-moving seawater, and then dragged back by the tides of Mirror Sea.

Some palm-sized, unidentified brown worms crawled among the skeletons. As if sensing the presence of living beings, one of them even approached Zuo Le and his group.

Ding!

It pounced on Zuo Le like a leaping cockroach.

boom!

After the gunshots flashed, the cockroach's green juice sprayed all over the ground, and the stench was like three years' worth of excrement.

Even Zuo Le couldn't help but take a step back.

"This is a corpse cockroach, a disgusting creature that occasionally likes to eat live things."

Upon hearing Tu Mi's explanation, Zuo Le couldn't help but frown.

He has never liked cockroaches, and it has nothing to do with whether he is timid or not; he simply dislikes them.

But now, in front of him, was a pile of cockroaches the size of his palm.

This situation is truly outrageous.

"This thing is also considered a weirdo. If you take the corpse of the corpse cockroach to the command post, you can exchange it for 10 yuan."

Hearing Tu Mi's explanation, Zuo Le's expression became unusually solemn.

"Ten yuan? Never mind, I don't need it..."

Zuo Le almost never wastes resources, but feeling the strong stench left by the corpse cockroaches, he felt that this money wasn't necessarily something he had to earn.

"How are you feeling? Do you want to continue?"

Tu Mi raised her head, hoping that Zuo Le would back down, because she also found this thing extremely disgusting.

She's just naturally stubborn, so it's impossible for her to back out voluntarily.

Zuo Le had no intention of leaving; he had come here for something more important.

So, suppressing my nausea and vomiting, I pointed towards the more distant coastline:

"I'm going over there, you stay here at the camp."

Chapter 88: Another Growth in Talent

Tu Mi didn't know what Zuo Le was planning, but after glancing at the coastline and reefs, she immediately warned him:

"There are very few people there, it's not safe."

Zuo Le's goal was the forbidden summoning; he originally intended to go to a place with few people.

"Wait for me here."

"No, I'm going too." Although Tu Mi disliked Mirror Sea, she was even more unwilling to stay here alone.

"I'm going to take care of some personal business, and it's not convenient to bring you along," Zuo Le explained patiently.

"no!"

"Tu Mi, be good." It was rare for Zuo Le to use such a gentle tone with this stray dog.

He had already been very patient. If she still disagreed, Zuo Le would have no choice but to use even tougher methods!

Tu Mi stared at him for a while, and seeing that Zuo Le's attitude was firm and he had no intention of backing down, she could only lower her head:

When will you be back?

"At most one hour, maybe even less."

He felt that a breakthrough was imminent. An hour would be enough for Zuo Le to exhaust his spiritual power, and being outdoors, it was unlikely that he could use up all his spiritual power at once.

This timing is reasonable.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."

Seeing that Tu Mi had backed down, Zuo Le breathed a sigh of relief.

Just because Tuqi knows about the forbidden summoning doesn't mean Tumi should know as well.

Although their relationship is trending towards intimacy, remaining vigilant remains Zuo Le's habitual behavior.

What Zuo Le didn't know was that ever since he parted ways with Tu Mi, this stray dog ​​had been making a binoculars-like gesture with its hands.

They watched him as he walked toward the rocky area.
