Chapter 1736 Coming Soon

She stood frozen in place, holding the communicator, her fingertips still warm from the screen, but her heart felt like it was being stabbed by an ice pick.

She thought she could stay far away from this devil for the rest of her life, but he, on the contrary, used the title of "biological father" to get close to her parents, and even dared to act pitiful and try to get attention in the base.

Do they think she'll be as easy to bully as she was before in this life?

Her parents and Aunt Yun were pretending to be relaxed, but how could she not see through them?

They were afraid she would be distracted and that this little thing would delay the reagent preparation.

But the more this happened, the more she hated Ji Hongmao.

What right does he have to disturb their hard-won peaceful life with his dirty thoughts?

Why should he use his status as "father" to stir up trouble at the base, making his parents have to deal with it?

Her fingernails dug deep into her palm, and the pain calmed her down a little.

She couldn't go back; she couldn't fall into Ji Hongmao's trap.

The reagents are related to the lives of countless people. If she loses her composure because of this, she will not only let down those who trust her, but also put herself in Ji Hongmao's hands, making her parents even more worried.

But beneath this restraint, hatred was already raging in her heart. After delivering the reagents, she was determined to return to Jinling—she hadn't yet settled the blood debt he owed her and her parents in her past life; in this life, if he dared to confront her, she would make him personally experience the price of harming her family—even his life wouldn't be enough to atone for it!

The communicator suddenly vibrated, breaking the silence in the space.

Li Luo thought it was another message from her parents, but when she looked down, Shi Xinxin's name popped up on the screen, along with an unread text message sent just ten seconds ago:

[Lolo! My friends and I were at a highway service area on the outskirts of City B when we got harassed by five foreign superhumans! Their appearance and fighting style seem to belong to the Destruction Force, their average level is 8, and they all have multiple superhuman abilities. This is really troublesome!]

Li Luo quickly tapped the text message and simultaneously activated the location function of the universal communicator.

Two familiar red dots were visible on the screen, tucked away at the repair station on the west side of the service area; they were Lu Jingcheng and Shi Xinxin.

A second text message popped up immediately, its tone urgent:

We're stuck in the repair shop, unable to launch a full-scale counterattack because we have to protect our team. They've sealed off all the entrances and exits; if this drags on any longer, something terrible will happen!

As Li Luo stood up, the rattan chair legs scraped cleanly against the floor without the slightest hesitation.

Potato stopped playing with the spinning top, and seeing her cold and hard aura, immediately sat up straight and asked:

"Mommy, are we going out?"

"Hmm." Li Luo patted Potato's head, then patted the little tentacle that the spinning top was extending, her tone concise:

"You all wait for me obediently in the space. I'll come out to pick you up when it's safe."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and made a sweeping motion in the air. Dark golden spatial patterns flashed, and a small silver-black aircraft slowly emerged.

The fuselage has smooth lines and is covered with a matte anti-psychic coating. Even before the thrusters under the wings are activated, it already exudes a sharp and powerful feel.

Her fingertips tapped rapidly on the aircraft's control screen, bringing up the coordinates of a highway service area in the suburbs of City B. After comparing the displayed distance of "52 kilometers" with the "teleportation ability estimated at 12 minutes," she decisively selected "full-speed thruster mode."

"The aircraft is faster than teleportation, saving five minutes."

The action of replying to the text message was equally swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation:

[Okay, I'm coming, hang in there!]

As soon as the success notification popped up, Li Luo nimbly sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and pressed the start button.
