Chapter 201 My Name is Ding Lu
The words were excessively arrogant.
But coupled with the scene before her eyes, Ren Xiao could find no entry point for any rebuttal.
The life level of evolvers had already pulled away from that of ordinary people. Even though Ren Xiao herself looked down on Gagar, she had to admit his strength and high level. But such an existence had no power to resist in Li Tianran's hands and was blasted apart.
Ren Xiao thought of a terrifying idea, and her pupils constricted.
Li Tianran must also be an evolver, and his life level was much higher than Gagar's!
Otherwise, it would not be enough to explain everything before her eyes.
"Do you really think you can confront the head office head-on?" Ren Xiao said after a moment of silence, "Although Gagar is also an evolver, he is just a pawn in the eyes of the head office. Don't think that you can fight the head office by killing him!"
"Even if you are a more powerful evolver, you are still flesh and blood. Have you forgotten how Bai Jingyan was hunted down to the point of desperation?"
Ren Xiao asked seriously and solemnly.
"Hehe..." Li Tianran laughed. He put his hands in his pockets and said, "Have you seen the icebergs on the Frozen Sea? Perhaps two icebergs have the same size above the sea, but one may only be an ice floe with nothing underneath! The other may have mountain ranges stretching thousands of kilometers under the sea!"
"They look the same on the surface, but how do you know that both icebergs will be crushed when facing an icebreaker?"
Ren Xiao's voice lowered when she heard this: "You mean, you are that huge, hidden iceberg?"
"The power of evolution may be everything to some people! But to me, it's just one of the many powers I have mastered!" Li Tianran narrowed his eyes and said indifferently and calmly: "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Ren Xiao finally confirmed that she could not change Li Tianran's mind.
The head office and Li Tianran were bound to become enemies.
Li Tianran had long expected this. He had killed Liang Tianyu and helped Bai Jingyan escape. The hatred between him and the head office could not be resolved!
And killing Gagar was a catalyst!
Sooner or later, there would be a showdown between the head office and Li Tianran.
Li Tianran would definitely not allow the head office to continue researching evolvers and strengthen the enemy's power. Moreover, judging from Gagar, these people from the Umbrella Corporation were evil enough. The evolvers they produced... were definitely different from the "Gods" that Li Tianran, Bai Jingyan, and others wanted to create!
They would make the already chaotic situation even more chaotic...
"Pa!"
Li Tianran crushed the positioning wristband on Gagar's corpse with one foot, then grabbed Ren Xiao's phone and said calmly, "Do as I say."
Ren Xiao gritted her teeth and remained silent for a long time. In the end, she had no choice but to follow Li Tianran's order and send an email to the head office from her own mailbox. The content was what Li Tianran had said before, but it was unsigned.
Li Tianran crushed Ren Xiao's phone again and turned to walk towards the bus in the distance.
He stood in front of Ding Lu, who had obvious ferocious finger marks on his neck and was panting heavily, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "People often say that an ant trying to shake a tree, or a mantis trying to stop a chariot, is the most stupid thing to do. Didn't you know you would die if you stood up just now?"
"Didn't you know that you were no match for him at all?"
Ding Lu's face still showed the relief and panic of surviving a disaster. He had personally witnessed the terrifying scene of Li Tianran killing Gagar just now. Seeing Li Tianran standing in front of him at this time, he felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Tell me, what were you thinking just now?" Li Tianran squatted down and asked softly.
"I... I..." Ding Lu's heart was beating wildly. He seemed to vaguely realize that his luck was about to change. Many words flashed through his mind in an instant: what about repaying kindness, what about preferring to die standing than to live kneeling...
In short, those were definitely some words that could make Li Tianran have a good impression of him.
But after a long silence, Ding Lu stammered: "I... I was blank, I didn't have any ideas, my head got hot... so, so I rushed up, now... I'm very scared, my legs are shaking, I... I can't stand up anymore..."
Li Tianran laughed. This answer might not be as impressive as those that Ding Lu thought could leave a deep impression on Li Tianran, but it was definitely honest!
Some people may not have any great ideas in their minds when facing danger, but just stand up based on the instinct of their bodies and minds!
"I... I'm too ashamed... too weak..." Ding Lu lowered his head in shame, thinking of his previous ignorance when he rushed up.
An ant trying to shake a tree.
A mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Ding Lu felt that these two idioms were very suitable for him.
"There is another sentence after 'a mantis trying to stop a chariot'," Li Tianran said softly: "A mantis trying to stop a chariot, as an insect, only knows to advance but not to retreat, underestimates its own strength and takes the enemy lightly!"
"But if it is a person, then he must be the bravest in the world!"
Many people regard "a mantis trying to stop a chariot" as a stupid thing to do, an overestimation of one's own strength, and using a small force to fight a large force. But from another perspective, fighting against a powerful force with a weak body, isn't that a brave warrior to the extreme?
Ding Lu looked at Li Tianran blankly. He didn't expect that he would be praised by Li Tianran!
"Brave and upright, humble and honest! Can obtain... evolver qualification!" Li Tianran leaned close to Ding Lu's ear and whispered, as if announcing that his fate had undergone earth-shattering changes from now on!
A ruby-like fruit was placed in Ding Lu's palm, and an extremely magical feeling surged from Ding Lu's heart.
Li Tianran stood up.
Ding Lu breathed heavily. He suddenly raised his head and shouted: "I... can I... go with you?"
Li Tianran paused.
"I already... have no parents, only myself. I can work and won't cause trouble!" Ding Lu blushed and said this sentence in a fluent tone that he had never used before!
He gasped violently, staring at Li Tianran's back with eager eyes.
He had never been so nervous as he was now, not even when facing Gagar just now!
One second, two seconds...
Li Tianran did not reply.
Ding Lu's eyes slowly dimmed, and he whispered: "I... I understand, thank... thank you!"
Li Tianran took a deep breath, did not turn his head, and asked, "Can you cook?"
"Yes! Yes! My father used to be paralyzed... I always cooked for him!" Ding Lu's eyes lit up again.
"How about raising cattle and sheep?" Li Tianran asked again.
"Yes!"
"Planting?"
"I've done it!"
"..."
Li Tianran finally stopped asking. He turned his head to look at Ding Lu and asked word by word: "Work eight hours a day, no salary, free food and lodging, often in danger, do you still want to come?"
Ding Lu stood up and strode over.
"My name is... Ding Lu." Ding Lu stood in front of Li Tianran and bowed deeply: "Boss!"
