Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day
Chapter 481 - 414: Distant Relatives
In the dining room.
Lu Li was originally enjoying the warmth with his parents.
Suddenly, he sensed the phone ringing in his parents’ bedroom upstairs.
He immediately checked and found that the caller was a young man.
Lu Li had no impression of this young man.
He figured it might be a wrong number or some distant relative they haven’t been in touch with.
Being of the younger generation, he never really knew how many relatives the family had.
To be honest, even if he encountered some distant relatives on the street, he might not recognize them.
So, Lu Li didn’t think much of it.
However, the next moment, the content of the call made his expression change.
In the "omniscient perspective," he saw his dad next to the wardrobe picking up the phone handset casually.
Dad: "Who is this?"
Young man: "Die! I want all of you with the surname Lu dead!"
Sensing the situation, Lu Li frowned.
He immediately exercised telepathic control over the young man from a distance.
Dad, startled, asked: "Who are you? What exactly do you want?"
Lu Li controlled the young man to respond: "Huh, aren’t you Director Yuan? I’m rehearsing tomorrow’s ’phone threat’ scene."
Dad breathed a sigh of relief: "You’ve dialed the wrong number; I’m not this Director Yuan you mentioned."
The young man hurriedly said: "Sorry, really sorry."
After saying that, Lu Li controlled the young man to hang up the phone, then used his perception to delve into the young man’s mind.
The next moment, he narrowed his eyes and used his energy to "particle decompose" the young man just like the previous four people from the Island Country.
Why was he so ruthless?
Because Lu Li had just probed into the young man’s mind and discovered the same mentality as the previous four from the Island Country, if not worse.
The four from the Island Country were simply plotting to assassinate Lu Li’s parents.
But this young man planned to first use phone threats to make his parents live in constant fear and anxiety, and after sufficient torment, find a way to assassinate them.
How could Lu Li possibly allow such a thing to happen?
Of course, he unhesitatingly made the young man disappear from existence.
Most importantly, when he probed into the young man’s mind, he found out that the young man was also mentally twisted.
The reason the young man dared to do this was that, like those who had cyber-bullied Lu Li before, he felt that the apocalypse was inevitably coming, and whether one dies sooner or later makes no difference. So, why not take revenge on Lu Li, who refused to save Earth?
He certainly had no ability or means to harm Lu Li, so he thought of targeting Lu Li’s parents.
In the young man’s view, humanity was on the brink of apocalypse, all because Lu Li had the ability to save Earth but chose not to, thus driving him to such extremes.
"Are you forcing me to get angry?"
Lu Li’s whole face turned grim.
He found it utterly laughable.
Not to mention that he had been tirelessly busy preparing to save Earth during this time.
Even if he truly did not intend to save Earth, it seemed like the apocalypse had nothing to do with him.
Why must the blame be placed on him?
Oh, just because I have the ability, I must be your Guardian God?
Do I owe you something?
Lu Li was truly furious, even contemplating thoughts like "what does Earth’s destruction have to do with me."
After all, he had assembled many spaceships and possessed the powerful ability of "particle condensation," capable of ensuring that his relatives and friends could avoid this disaster.
Lu Li thought for a moment, suppressing his anger and pondering: "If these ungrateful people push me again, when the gamma-ray burst comes, I’ll definitely stand by and watch!"
He was willing to give these Earthlings one last chance, provided they didn’t provoke him.
As for offering explanations, he definitely wouldn’t do it.
Why not explain?
Why, indeed!
If I have to explain everything I do to those inferior beings, why did I get stronger in the first place?
If it really comes to that, I might as well live like an ordinary person, echoing "copy that" like cattle and horses every day.
Lu Li was too lazy to explain anything to anyone.
Moreover, he wasn’t afraid that those extremists would harm his relatives and friends.
He had been watching all along through the "omniscient perspective."
If he discovered anyone trying to harm his relatives or friends.
Or if someone had improper intentions.
No apologies.
They would vanish from existence!
As he was thinking, Dad and Mom’s voices chatting came from the staircase.
"Old Lu, who called just now?"
"I don’t know. It was a young guy who said he dialed the wrong number and gave me a scare."
"What happened?"
"What else? He came up saying he wanted to kill me; could I not be startled?"
"Oh dear, luckily it was a wrong number. Just hearing that scared me."
In a few words, Dad and Mom came down with their luggage.
Lu Li, although knowing what happened, pretended to care and asked: "What were you talking about?"
Mom teased her son, saying: "Just now someone dialed the wrong number and said they wanted to kill your dad."
Lu Li blinked and said: "Really? Who’s that bold?"
"Don’t listen to your mom’s nonsense." Dad waved his hand and explained: "A young man dialed the wrong number, saying he was rehearsing for some director. I’ll tell you, he sounded really intimidating, but I don’t know which TV series it is. If I knew, I’d definitely watch it."
Lu Li laughed and said: "If it’s a wrong number, then it’s nothing. I really thought someone was reckless."
After chatting briefly, Mom and Dad thoroughly checked the gas, water, and electricity switches several times to ensure there were no issues before feeling at ease.
Finally, Mom asked: "Son, how are we getting to your company? By plane?"
