King from scratch

Chapter 249 Reality 29 "Today is the first time I bring my boyfriend Zhang home."

In late autumn, maple leaves are flying in the air, and there is a layer of fallen leaves floating on both sides of the road with few pedestrians, rustling when stepped on.

He Xingwen slowed down, immersed in the long-lost memories.

Every inch of this place has memories of childhood, and the time in the small town is so slow that the wanderers who left home can easily evoke the memories of the past when they return home.

Different from the other world, in the other world, everything He Xingwen sees bears a heavy weight, always reminding him why he stands on that land.

Everything there represents responsibility and pressure.

It is also different from the rental house next to the school, where he cut off contact with most of his friends, gave up the established life, left the school, and closed himself in the small rental house, becoming an undetectable shadow.

But only here, there is the past of He Xingwen's ordinary life.

Before becoming His Majesty the King, He Xingwen could not wait to go home every time he was on vacation.

But after becoming His Majesty the King, the only time He Xingwen went home was to persuade his parents to go to school to complete the dropout procedures.

It's not that he doesn't want to go home, he just doesn't dare to go home.

The little bird that left the nest grew into a giant eagle, so it got farther and farther away from the former nest.

After walking along the sparsely populated road for a while, the familiar river bank appeared in front of He Xingwen.

Crowds gathered in twos and threes by the river embankment, professional fishing equipment emerged in endlessly, and the lively sound reached He Xingwen's ears from a distance away.

Walking a few steps forward, He Xingwen saw all kinds of vehicles parked beside the road, including all kinds of luxury cars.

This place, which used to be just a place where nearby residents wash rice and wash clothes, seems to have unknowingly become a famous fishing spot?

He Xingwen quickened his pace, feeling a little inexplicable about the scene in front of him: Could it be that some school of fish diverted past this river?

It's not right, what kind of fish can be diverted to the small river next to this kind of residential area?

The chatter from the crowd beside him floated into his ears accompanied by He Xingwen's puzzlement.

"Old He came early in the morning, how is the harvest?"

"Don't mention it, these little fish are too cunning, so they caught two or three."

"Hey, this is a good harvest. Look, I'm still free."

"This position is not good, Lao Li came early enough today, the position is good."

"Did he leave before dawn?"

"The group of people from other places are occupying the seats. If you can't afford it, how can you get a good seat early?"

"They said that they must catch the king fish, and if they can't catch it, they won't leave."

"How can the fish king be so easy to catch? Don't lose your wife and pay back the soldiers."

"Isn't it caused by the Special Biological Administration? The price of these abnormal wild animals is not the same as the price of the dead. Now the whole country is full of young people who try their luck."

"The ones released by the Administration are relatively low-risk, and only those with special abilities and those who can initially control the ether are allowed to try, and ordinary people can only join in the fun.

Besides, those big guys on the sea and in the no-man's land were all dispatched by the army to solve them. "

"The group of out-of-towners are here to do this, and the others are here to join in the fun."

"However, the fish king does have a few tricks. You can see that the number of fish in the river has doubled in the past two years."

"It would be great if abnormal creatures were like this."

"What are you thinking? Didn't you read the news about how dangerous those big guys at sea are? How long has that island country been besieged? With so many countries going to the rescue, it's just that the route has not been opened."

"You all are lucky that this guy in our river is not a force-mutated type, otherwise there would be no such excitement now."

He Xingwen stopped and listened for a while, almost forgetting what he was doing here.

"Damn it, this strength...is a big fish! Lao Li is here to help!"

Two or three young people leaned over and pulled the fishing rod, and only after they put their hands on it, they realized that the fish they caught this time were not small in size.

The movement of two or three men lifting the pole was not small. Most of the people on the embankment cast their eyes on them, and there were also many words of envy. After all, just seeing this movement is very rewarding.

This group of people has been busy for a long time, the more the line is pulled up, the more movement below.

The movement spreading out of the river became more and more intense, as if some giant was struggling unceasingly, so that it aroused such a fierce battle.

The voices of ridicule and envy gradually disappeared.

A large group of fishermen hurriedly put away their fishing rods and retreated in unison.

After laying the groundwork for the recovery of spiritual energy for so long, and after Huaguo spared no effort in various publicity, promotion and popular science, most people have a vague understanding of mutant creatures.

Some mutated creatures are very dangerous, and some are not so dangerous, but one thing is the same, no matter how low the risk of mutated creatures is, they are not vegetarians, so it is best to stay away from them.

A few people who reacted quickly shouted at those who were pulling the fishing rod: "I called the emergency department, they will be here soon, be careful."

And those outsiders who came here for the mutated creatures quickly took over the order of the scene and isolated other ordinary people from the danger zone: "Stay away from the crowd, Xiao Han, and separate this area."

The etheric fluctuations spread from them, forming a simple isolation zone, including the extremely intense river section.

The veins of the few people who were still finishing their strokes were violent. It's not that they didn't want to let go, but in this situation, as soon as they let go of their fingers, they would be dragged down by the force. Hold on until Hazardous Matter arrives before the creature yanks them off.

Fortunately, in this turbulent era, even ordinary people have learned how to use two-handed aether, and they can barely hold out for a while in this kind of huge confrontation.

He Xingwen didn't expect this sudden development, and was isolated from the crowd in a daze. He looked around at the ordinary people around him and found that everyone's emotions were very stable.

"The fish king must be caught this time, right?"

"Maybe, it's not that this fish king has never been caught before, and he still didn't catch it in the end."

"It's too fierce, the river is shaking like this."

"The fish king hid quite deep before, why was he suddenly caught this time?"

"There's no danger, is it?"

"Hey, mutated creatures are not in danger, but it's okay, the emergency department is very reliable, and it will be there soon, so nothing serious will happen."

"I think the fish king should be unhooked later. How big is this fish king? This fish is enough to eat for many days."

"You can't eat it even if you catch it. In principle, this kind of low-risk mutated creature has to be handed over to the country for research. Of course, if it kills someone, it can also be beheaded on the spot in an emergency..."

The onlookers were not nervous, and He Xingwen, who encountered this situation for the first time, also watched with great interest.

"Xingwen?" He Jianwen stared at the person suspected to be his son for a long time, and said uncertainly: "You..."

When He Xingwen turned his head and saw his father, he finally remembered what he was here for.

"Dad, my mother told you to go back and cook early, there are guests at home."

As soon as he said that, He Jianwen confirmed that the person who was watching the fun with great interest was really his son, and was very surprised: "Why are you back? What kind of guests are here?"

"Old He, is this your son?"

"Yo, this is the big boss of your family?"

"Not bad, good looking, looks like a rich man."

"Old He is lucky!"

The two of them chatted, and the familiar friends around He Jianwen spoke one by one, but they didn't give He Xingwen a chance to answer He Jianwen's questions.

"Yes, my son, hey, it's not that good, just earn two dollars, yes, yes, yes, it's a business merger or something, that's right, that outstanding young entrepreneur some time ago..."

He Jianwen put his arm around He Xingwen's shoulders, and began to show off his son without a trace.

It seemed that his father couldn't think of going home in a short time. He Xingwen shut his mouth and looked towards the bustling embankment again.

Under the sun, a huge shadow jumped out of the river, directly smashing through the thin layer of ether.

The lively crowd lost their voices for a moment, and cast their gazes at the huge creature above.

With a flat body, bared fangs, and lifeless fish eyes, the ordinary appearance has become extremely ugly due to countless times of magnification. The oversized body makes it block out the sky when it leaps out of the river.

The people fishing here are no strangers to the fish king, this term is what they talk about after dinner, but it does not mean that they have really seen the fish king.

This mutated creature, defined by the Administration as low-risk, seems to be able to crush a group of people to death just by its size...

The outsiders who were specially here to deal with the fish king reacted quickly, and while retreating outside, they used various special weapons to capture him alive.

The people who were originally isolated changed their enthusiasm for watching the excitement just now, and walked out one after another, keeping a distance from the mutant creatures.

He Xingwen was also dragged by his father, and hurried out among the crowd.

Because the terrain near the river is wide and there are enough places for the crowd to disperse, the escape of the crowd is barely orderly.

In fact, although the huge size of the fish king jumping out of the water has brought great pressure to the surrounding humans, everyone's reaction to this is still not as intense as He Xingwen thought.

Of course the fear exists, but it is not yet hysterical. It is a reality to rush to escape, but it is not so urgent that it is desperate.

"Is the emergency department almost here?"

"It's okay, it's really not good, the government will blow up the river at worst."

"Didn't there be news about abnormal creatures entering the city center in that f city before? It was also brought under control in time."

"The fish king has been in the river for so long. If it was really dangerous, he would have attacked humans on the first day. I guess he was irritated by the fishhook. Young people nowadays don't pay much attention to the choice of fishhook..."

"Hey, I haven't brought back the bucket of fish yet, so I was busy early in the morning."

In this special environment where spiritual energy is revived, it is not easy to maintain a stable social order, because as long as there is a mistake, the threat from abnormal creatures will destroy everything.

Once people lose confidence in the stable order and trust in the government, the chain reaction brought about is enough to lead to the deterioration and collapse of social order.

But judging from what He Xingwen has seen, although they haven't seen each other for two years, Huaguo is still taking every step steadily. They have successfully turned abnormal creatures into a threat to the social order. They exist objectively and are taken seriously.

A special siren approached from afar.

The surrounding crowd relaxed further, and the name of the Foreign Affairs Department was mentioned repeatedly, obviously people had great trust in it.

The other party's quick arrival wiped out the last bit of uneasiness in the crowd.

Everyone slowed down, curiosity prevailed, and they turned their heads frequently to check what was going on with the fish king.

The King Fish fell from the air and hit the ground with a slap—not good news for creatures living in the water.

Of course, the other party's previous behavior of leaping from the river itself was somewhat unexpected.

Land is not a territory it is familiar with, and only in water can it gain the upper hand.

But it chose to go ashore...

This is also the reason why those outsiders who came to deal with it didn't panic. They had enough contact with abnormal creatures to know that when they leaped up, they looked scary but not dangerous.

The fish king was lying on the ground. Although his body was still huge, his weak fins greatly reduced the fear of the opponent.

As a result, the scattered crowd stopped completely, standing on tiptoes to look at the motionless fish king lying on the ground.

"Is this fish king a bit stupid?"

"What does a fish come to shore for?"

"The IQ of the mutated creature doesn't seem to have increased much."

"So, is it so angry that it throws itself into a trap?"

The atmosphere relaxed, and the hesitant crowd took two steps back, driven by curiosity, to get close to the big fish on the river bank.

He Xingwen was also among the crowd who approached.

The world is a lesson, He Xingwen really just followed the crowd to join in the fun, did not see that his father not only didn't stop him, but also followed him?

It can be seen that the public is really curious about the fish king lying on the ground, and they really don't think it is dangerous.

What's more, in another one or two minutes, the emergency department that specializes in dealing with abnormal creatures will arrive.

But who would have thought that the fish king actually hid his hand.

When the crowd walked back hesitantly, trying to see what King Yu looked like after staying in the embankment for two years, overwhelming water gushed out from the embankment behind King Yu and swept towards the crowd.

There is no disaster that is closer than this moment, as if the flood gates opened and everyone was involved.

The river, which was a long distance from the river bank, flowed up unreasonably and washed away towards the distance.

"flood!"

After this exclamation, the people submerged in the river panicked, and in an instant, all kinds of human beings appeared in this small area.

It wasn't until they realized that the height of the river water was rapidly dropping from covering the nostrils to the chest, and was about to drop to waist height, that the panicked crowd stopped in embarrassment.

Some people's awareness of the breath of death is just an illusion, but some people are really facing death.

The rushing river water was not intended to drown everyone present, but just to make the fish king move.

To be precise, this is the purpose of the fish king.

The King Fish, lying on the ground unable to move, took advantage of the momentary surge of water, started to catapult and disappeared in front of those professionals.

They panicked for a moment, and when they looked up, they saw the figure of the emergency department.

The plane hovering in the sky lowered its altitude, and several figures fell from the sky, heading straight for the out-of-control scene below.

The bounty hunters, who had dealt with the crisis department a lot, reacted quickly, stepping on the waves and quickly explaining the key points to them.

"The king fish didn't retreat into the river! It rushed towards the crowd."

"Attention all units, activate plan b, prepare for remote assistance, and be ready to kill this abnormal creature at any time."

In an extremely short and informative moment, He Xingwen's attention went from "I don't seem to be able to swim" to "The water line seems to be dropping" to "Damn it, how did this fish swim?" In the breath, the change from surprise, relaxation to surprise was completed.

Until the distance between the huge fish king and the crowd continued to shorten, the crowd suddenly became panicked—mainly He Jianwen who was pulling He Xingwen to run away, allowing He Xingwen to connect a series of abnormal behaviors of the fish king.

This fish is not coming for him, is it?

He Xingwen made short logical judgments and comparisons, and reached the final conclusion from the reactions of the only abnormal creatures he had come into contact with, from chimpanzees to giant octopuses.

He Xingwen broke free from He Jianwen's grasp, and didn't bother to explain to his father, only had time to yell: "You wait for me here for a while."

He Jianwen was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw He Xingwen going up against the crowd to meet the fish king.

Everyone doesn't know the reason for the series of sudden changes just now, but one thing is obvious, no matter what the fish king wants to do, its too large size is a huge threat to the crowd.

Being hit lightly is enough for a normal person to break a few ribs. If you are unlucky and a group of people hit it, plus the secondary damage from the stampede, it is hard to say how many survived.

Therefore, the approaching action of the other party easily caused the crowd to panic and flee.

And He Xingwen, who was going upstream, was extremely conspicuous among the fleeing crowd.

He Jianwen was only stunned for a second, then quickly followed, trying to drag his son who didn't know what he was thinking back.

It was such a time difference that He Xingwen, who was running with all his strength in the river less than waist high, passed the crowd and became the one at the front of the crowd.

The staff of the emergency department who was preparing to kill Yuwang subconsciously glanced at the team leader.

Trekking in the shallow stream, the fish king who approached the crowd stopped.

"Attention all units, the plan is suspended."

The chaos quickly subsided because the river receded, the fish king stopped moving, and the strange affairs office was isolated.

Different from the thin isolation area fooled by the few outsiders at the beginning, the isolation of the emergency department is very professional, not only the barrier formed by ether fluctuations, but also the physical isolation.

This time, most of the crowd dispersed immediately, and only a small group of people braved to stay and join in the fun, casting their gazes at the fish king who was lying still in the isolation area and the human standing in front of the fish king.

He Jianwen was also stopped outside the quarantine area.

"The one inside is my son, I want to go in."

"After the investigation of the situation is completed, you can go in." The person in the emergency department took out a recording pen and a notebook, and confirmed the relevant information with him: "Is your son a capable person?"

He Jianwen was stunned: "He didn't tell us."

"How about this, I will make a formal registration, please cooperate...Of course there will be no trouble, just confirm the situation. Name?"

When He Jianwen was stopped outside the quarantine area for routine investigation, He Xingwen was also facing the same experience.

"Please show me your ID card."

Zhang Teng took out the machine, swiped the other party's ID card, and the relevant information registered by the other party emerged one by one. Except for the basic information, Zhang Teng saw several confidential information that required permission at a glance.

Zhang Teng glanced at He Xingwen.

He Xingwen looked at him very calmly.

Zhang Teng verified his authority, but was told that the authority was insufficient, so he had to apply to his superior on the spot. It took him some time to see the content of the confidential information, and when he spoke again, he slowed down his tone.

"Sorry to bother you," Zhang Teng handed back the ID card to He Xingwen, jokingly said, "I've never seen this kind of animal taming-related abilities."

He Xingwen's previous contact with the Special Investigation Bureau has been recorded, which is enough for anyone who checks the information to know at a glance.

"I'm not a capable person." He Xingwen took back his ID card, looked at the fish king staring at the dead fish eyes, and found a reason for the two years of his disappearance: "I cooperated with the research, except for the fact that I have a certain ability to mutant creatures. Apart from this kind of attraction, it has no other effect. So in the past two years, I have simply reduced going out to avoid any accidents, after all, strictly speaking, I am just an ordinary person."

Zhang Teng agreed with this point very much: "This fish king has been in the river for two years, and he hasn't made such a big noise today. For safety's sake, you'd better go out less."

Now that the explanation is clear, He Xingwen is not interested in Yu Wang's fate, so he glanced at his father outside the quarantine area, and said politely: "I still have guests at home..."

"Sorry for wasting your time, go back." Zhang Teng waved his hand at him, not forgetting to remind him: "Don't go out, even if you go out, don't go to places where there are few people."

The probability of abnormal creatures appearing in the city center is much lower than in the wild.

He Xingwen responded, turned around and walked outside.

As soon as he took a step, he felt a familiar moist feeling.

The ether surrounding the quarantine area instantly became intense, colliding with another wave of ether fluctuations.

The king fish lying on the ground like a dead fish proves that it is not a dead fish.

He Xingwen turned his head and looked behind him.

The river gushes out from the side of the fish king, turning the surrounding area into a small piece of wetland. If it is not because the ether on the isolation area greatly suppresses its behavior, then it is not just the river gushing out from the moor—— You know, the embankment is not far away, and the fish king has shown the scene of the flood just now.

Although it was only for a moment, although the river receded soon, at least the other party did have some kind of ability to mobilize the water flow.

After He Xingwen stopped, the fish king turned back into a motionless dead fish again, even the water gushing from his body stopped.

Zhang Teng had just emptied a row of special anesthesia bombs, and was not sure whether Yuwang's behavior was because He Xingwen stopped, or because the anesthesia bombs had worked.

Zhang Teng hesitated, and suggested, "Why don't you take two more steps?"

He Xingwen withdrew his gaze and walked out of the isolation area.

The familiar moist feeling came from behind, and the etheric collision occurred again in the isolation area.

Witnessing Yuwang's fierce reaction to He Xingwen's departure, Zhang Teng had to change his mind: "Is the guest at home in a hurry? If not, why don't you help us send it back to the Administration Bureau branch?"

He Xingwen, who knew this matter could not be resolved, remained expressionless: "Today is the first time I bring my boyfriend home."

He Jianwen's raised volume sounded from the side, extremely shocked: "What? You brought your boyfriend home?!"
