Chapter 228 Snake Deadpool
Crawling around the corner, the darkness in front of him was suddenly broken by light. The sudden glare was like a sharp sword, causing the shadow to subconsciously squint his eyes.

A sharp pain came over his head, and the dizziness overwhelmed his mind again. The shadow covered his head, not knowing what this ray of light that broke through the darkness meant, but the remaining consciousness in his mind reminded him to crawl forward.

It was as if something important was waiting for him ahead.

The light source gradually approached, and when his consciousness recovered a little, he heard some rustling sounds. The space around him was narrow and cramped, mixed with some fishy smell. After a while, he finally remembered that he was in a cave.

The gurgling sound is the sound of trickling water.

The sound of water ahead meant that he might be close to the exit. He propped up his arms and crawled forward like a worm. The cave was hard and rough, with countless broken stones embedded in the earth wall, but his arms did not bleed from being scratched.

Then the sunlight shone into the cave, and he could barely see his arms. The blue-gray fish-scale-like scales were densely embedded in his skin, as if he was wearing a very thin armor.

He was stunned for a moment, but his fuzzy brain did not realize that there was anything wrong, as if these scales were growing on his body.

The only thing he knew was that he should keep moving forward.

Only in this way can I escape.

……

Lu Mingfei shifted his gaze from the phone screen and looked at Su Xiaoqiang beside him.

"The nearest train back to Gulegang leaves in an hour. Should we take a taxi directly to the train station to wait, or just walk there slowly?" Lu Mingfei asked.

At this time, he and Su Xiaoqiang were walking side by side on the river bank, and the breeze from the river bank blew towards them. There were no guardrails on the river bank, so there were many people fishing.

Su Xiaoqiang tilted his head and thought for a while: "Let's walk over slowly. Anyway, it's not far from the train station. There's nothing to do if we go there early."

Lu Mingfei nodded to the little goddess' suggestion and had no objection.

The main thing is that although Portugal is an old capitalist country, the train station is not as good as China's. It is stuffy and hot. Some places don't have air conditioning. The smell of sweat is mixed in the air. If Lu Mingfei had a choice, he would prefer to walk slowly. At least the outdoor scenery is pretty good and the air is fresher.

Turning onto the stone arch bridge across the river, ripples appeared on the water surface in the wind.

Su Xiaoqiang exclaimed, "Ah!" It turned out that he was attracted by a butterfly that happened to land on the edge of the bridge. The river surface was rippled by the gentle breeze.

Seeing the proud little goddess showing her rare little girl side, Lu Mingfei's heart was slightly moved. However, compared with her actual age, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old little goddess seemed to be just a little girl.

He didn't rush her. After all, it was still a long time before the train was scheduled to depart and there was plenty of time.

Lu Mingfei stood behind the little goddess, watching her tiptoe and approach the butterfly carefully. But she stopped a few steps away from it and chose not to get closer. It was as if she was afraid that the action of getting too close would scare the butterfly away.

"Very beautiful." Su Xiaoqiang said suddenly.

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

The female scream was like a knife that disrupted the quiet atmosphere and also disturbed the river bank. The source of the sound was not far away. Lu Mingfei leaned towards Su Xiaoqiang, and the colorful butterfly flapped its wings and flew away as if frightened.

The scream was very close to him, and Lu Mingfei found the source of the sound in almost no time. The pedestrians who were watching the scream gathered around the girl, and the river bank was immediately filled with passers-by.

Opposite the girl, at a drainage hole in a bridge on the river bank, a burly black figure in the shape of a human crawled out like a distorted lizard, wrapped in something that looked like a placenta covered in mud and blood. It was just like the kind of alien creature that only appears in heavy-flavored Hollywood movies.

As the black shadow crawled and squirmed on the river bank, the girls on the shore screamed in fear again.

"what is that?"

Lu Mingfei heard the voice of the little goddess beside him fighting.

Lu Mingfei just stared at the thing blankly, with disbelief in his eyes.

The sunlight illuminated the layers of scales on the black shadow's body. It might be because its claws were distorted with reversed joints, so it moved very slowly and could only rely on its long tail to push itself forward.

Lu Mingfei had seen this kind of deformed creature with a bone shape between humans and reptiles before. That was the knowledge Chu Zihang taught him. The reason why that kind of creature looked like a lizard with its hind legs broken off was because they had bone and blood deformities, and their legs merged into a tail, just like the mythical python with legs.

In the elevator shaft of the Sheqi Eight Clan, he and Chu Zihang Caesar had once fought these creatures head-on with rifles and Gatling guns. He knew that this guy was much more difficult to deal with than the average Deadpool.

Just…why is there a snake-like Deadpool in Portugal?

But now is obviously not the time to worry about this. Although the deadpools are living things, they have lost their minds and are like humans but not humans. They crave fresh flesh and blood and will attack humans based on their sense of smell.

"Everyone, disperse!" Lu Mingfei yelled at the crowd on the bridge.

But it was clear that his roar didn't work. The crowd was discussing what kind of creature this monster that suddenly appeared was, and his roar fell into the discussion like a drop of rain falling into the water. Some people even looked around excitedly, wanting to see if there was a crew filming a movie.

"Little angel, call the police quickly!" Lu Mingfei shouted to Su Xiaoqiang beside him.

Lu Mingfei certainly didn't expect the police to play any role in the confrontation with Deadpool. The snake-like Deadpool was covered with armor-like scales. Even if it was hit head-on by a bullet fired from the Desert Eagle, the king of pistols, the bullet would only be deflected by the dragon scales on the snake-like Deadpool's body. Only a Gatling gun equipped with armor-piercing bullets could barely break their defense.

Deadpool has a strong desire for human blood. Once this snake-like Deadpool jumps into the crowd, it will be a buffet of blood and flesh. With rich experience in mission execution, he knows that the most urgent task is to immediately disperse the ordinary people watching on the river bank. And in terms of dispersing the crowd, the police are obviously more effective than him.

Damn it... I don't even have a brick at hand at this moment.

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned by Lu Mingfei's sudden order. He subconsciously wanted to ask Lu Mingfei why.

But after seeing the solemn expression on Lu Mingfei's face, she realized the seriousness in Lu Mingfei's words.

And judging from his expression, it seemed that he knew what the monster in front of him was.

When he first met Lu Mingfei, Su Xiaoqiang's impression of this boy was just a lousy internet-addicted teenager.

Maybe, a little bit of color.

Because when we first met, this guy stared at his feet.

Apart from that, he was a bit nosy. A pornographic website popped up on my monitor, and even though I didn't know him, he came over and helped me close it.

But as their communication became more and more in-depth, she and Lu Mingfei became more and more familiar with each other, and she also had some new opinions about Lu Mingfei.

He was quite tall, and his appearance was… barely handsome. But the longer she knew Lu Mingfei, the more mysterious he seemed to her.

His parents were archaeologists, he had a British aristocratic temperament hidden beneath his declining appearance, and he was actually childhood sweethearts with the female shareholder of the Black Prince Group.

The bad boy who loved playing games in the Internet cafe became more and more unfamiliar without anyone noticing.

Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei's profile, and suddenly many thoughts and questions came to her mind. But she just pursed her lips, and then obediently took out her Nokia N73 from her pocket.

She didn't know why she, who had always been proud and rebellious, would be so rebellious to Lu Mingfei. It was just that she had a strange feeling towards Lu Mingfei in her heart, as if his words contained some kind of unquestionable majesty, which made her want to obey involuntarily. It was like an ancient emperor giving orders to his beloved concubines.

"Have you called the police?" Lu Mingfei asked as he carefully looked at the snake-like Deadpool.

Su Xiaoqiang nodded obediently: "I've reported it."

Lu Mingfei felt a little relieved when he heard the little angel say that he had called the police.

At present, this snake-like Deadpool has not shown a strong desire to attack. It is just lying on the river bank, crawling slowly in one direction, as if it wants to reach a certain destination.

However, we cannot take it lightly when facing a creature like Deadpool.

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked Su Xiaoqiang in a low voice:

"Do you have the phone number of Professor Mance who is visiting your home?"

Professor Mance?

The face of the bearded man who seemed very familiar with his uncle emerged in Su Xiaoqiang's mind, and he shook his head.

"You should have your uncle's phone number, right?"

"Yes." Su Xiaoqiang nodded.

"Well, you call your uncle first, and then let your uncle call Professor Mance." Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at the beautiful eyes of the little goddess who was blinking nervously, "Just say..."

"say what?"

Lu Mingfei paused, took a deep breath, and said with determination: "Just tell them that a snake-like Deadpool appeared on Tagus Street in Santarém, and ask them to come quickly."

Although telling Professor Mance and the others about this would expose his knowledge of things related to the dragon clan, the situation was urgent and there was no time for him to hesitate.

Even if he was exposed, so what? He was still a future "S"-level student at Kassel Academy. His cheap parents were also alumni of Kassel Academy and old acquaintances of Principal Angers. He couldn't send Mr. Masashi Toyama to brainwash him and make him forget his memory, right?
At most, I can report to Kassel College early.

In fact, it was not that Lu Mingfei had no confidence in dealing with this snake-like Deadpool. After all, he had wielded a knife to chop the Dragon King and had seen the world. He had fought with the snake-like Deadpool in the elevator shaft of the Snake Family. If he fought alone, even without the Word Spirit and weapons, he would be confident that he could deal with this snake-like Deadpool.

However, since there is a snake-like Deadpool appearing here, he is not sure whether there are more snake-like Deadpools hiding around.

Even if he was confident of dealing with one, but if he dealt with a group... he could protect himself, but he couldn't protect the safety of the ordinary people around him under the attack of the Deadpools.

Since Ye Sheng Yaji and his team were here to carry out tasks related to the "Antimony Incident", then the crazy people in the Equipment Department must have equipped them with weapons of mass destruction. Such professional matters must of course be handed over to professional teams. He didn't need to be in the limelight on such matters.

Although Su Xiaoqiang didn't know what Lu Mingfei meant by "Snake-like Deadpool", he also didn't know what this matter had to do with the professor who came to visit his home.

But her intuition told her that under the current circumstances, she should obey Lu Mingfei unconditionally.

She opened the address book, found the phone number, and pressed it.

There was a beep, beep, beep, beep. After a few seconds, her uncle's voice rang out in the microphone: "What's the matter, Rosella? Is there anything about your date that you want to ask your uncle for advice on?"

There was no time to refute or complain about his uncle's frivolous words. Su Xiaoqiang recalled Lu Mingfei's instructions and said, "Uncle, Lu Mingfei wants you to help contact Professor Mans."

The voice on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned: "What happened?"

"Lu Ming insisted that you tell Professor Mans: 'A snake-like shape appeared on Tagus Street in Santarém...'"

Before Su Xiaoqiang finished speaking, she suddenly flew into the air. She was stunned for a moment, and lost her grip, so the red and white Nokia N73 that she and Lu Mingfei thought was a couple's model fell from her hand.

She looked down subconsciously. The Nokia N73 did not fall to the ground, but fell on something gray, bounced off, and fell into the river, creating a splash. However, this splash seemed inconspicuous, because countless rubble fell from the bridge. Huge splashes immediately appeared on the river surface.

Yellowish smoke filled the air from the bridge and the crowd screamed.

It was only then that Su Xiaoqiang realized what the grayish-blue thing was. It was the lizard-like monster that had been crawling on the riverbank before!

It jumped onto the bridge in the blink of an eye, at a distance of dozens of meters!
Su Xiaoqiang struggled in fear, but her delicate body was firmly held by a pair of strong arms that were stronger than hers, making it impossible for her to break free.

Then, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.

"Damn it... Little angel, please don't move. If you move, it will be difficult for me to hold you!"

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned and looked up, only to find that Lu Mingfei's somewhat handsome face was right in front of him.

It's just that the angle of Lu Mingfei's face seems a little strange. Because from her perspective, the first thing she saw was Lu Mingfei's smooth and even jawline.

Wait, something's wrong. Why can I see Lu Mingfei's jawline?
My calves were swinging back and forth, and my feet seemed to be suspended in the air, unable to touch the ground. Something was pressing against my knees and back...

Su Xiaoqiang looked down and suddenly realized that she was being held by Lu Mingfei... and it was a princess hug!
Lu Mingfei's arms, which looked like they didn't have much muscle but were extremely strong, were passing under his knees and shoulders. His arms were naturally around Lu Mingfei's neck.

What's happening here?
This feeling of being carried like a princess was not the first time that Su Xiaoqiang had experienced it... It would have been fine if she didn't think about it. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly remembered that the last time she was carried like a princess by a boy was also by Lu Mingfei!
The time when I fainted during military training and was sent to the infirmary by this guy.

Feeling the familiar arms, the solid chest, and the reassuring smell of shower gel on the boy's body, Su Xiaoqiang bit her red lips lightly, and suddenly wondered if some of her memories had been deleted.

How come I was talking on the phone with my uncle one second and was hugged by this guy the next?
