Chapter 9: Lake Mweru

Although they had already agreed to put Chu Ze in Lake Mweru, they were both worried when they saw Chu Ze’s huge body.
“How are we going to transport Brother Chu there? His body is huge. It’s not easy to find a car to put a fish tank in.”
Li Manman shook her head. “It’s easy to find a truck, but how do we do it without being discovered? That’s the problem.”
Chu Ze thought for a moment and said, “Go and buy a big water bag. Put me in it first and then put me in the trunk of Manman’s car.”
“Put me in it and then fill the water bag with water.”
Li Manman immediately disagreed. “That won’t do. What if I put you in the water bag first and you run out of oxygen after a long time?”
“Don’t worry. I know a little about my own body. It won’t be a problem for me to leave the water for at least an hour. You two just need to fill the water bag with water within an hour.”
Hearing Chu Ze’s words, Li Manman agreed.
“From here to Lake Mweru, half an hour should be enough without the traffic jam. The oxygen in the water bag should be able to last until there.”
Soon, the two of them bought the water bag and put it in the trunk of the car in advance.
Li Manman took Chu Ying and started to fill the water bag.
“Let’s fill the water bag first. Then, we don’t have to worry about Brother Chu running out of water and oxygen.”
After filling half of the water bags, the two returned to their room.
“Brother Chu, the water bag is ready. We’ll move you out at night. There are too many people during the day. If we move you out like this, we’ll definitely be surrounded by people.”
Chu Ze nodded and said, “Yes, it’s best at night. It’s best when there’s no one around.”
As night fell, the two girls carried a 100-pound fish downstairs.
At first, the two girls thought that they were going to smell fishy, but they didn’t expect that Chu Ze didn’t smell fishy. Instead, he had a faint fragrance.
“Wow, brother smells so good. Are you wearing perfume?”
Chu Ze was a little speechless. “You little girl, you still have the strength to joke at this time. It seems that you can move me by yourself.”
Hearing Chu Ying’s words, Li Manman echoed, “I think so too. Little Ying is quite strong.”
As she said that, she pretended to let go. Chu Ying quickly begged for mercy.
“No, no, no, I’m just joking. Let’s carry my brother to the car first.”
After putting Chu Ze in, Li Manman sat in the driver’s seat.
As a child from a rich family, her parents had asked her to take the driver’s license when she was just eighteen years old.
On the afternoon of the day she got her license, she had bought a Mazda with two big, cute eyes. It blinked its eyes like a female killer.
Half an hour later, the car stopped by the lake. The two girls were worried that they couldn’t move the entire water bag.
They couldn’t move it directly. If they opened the water bag and moved Chu Ze, the car would be full of water again.
Chu Ze looked at the worried two and smiled. “You two don’t need to worry. Open the water bag. I can come out by myself.”
Li Manman scratched her head. “I didn’t bring anything that can hold water. It’s not easy to get the water out of the water bag. Now, I can only let Brother Chu come out by himself.”
The two girls pulled the water bag. Chu Ze jumped out with a flick of his tail and fell to the ground.
Chu Ying exclaimed, “Ah, brother, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. After my evolution, my skin is rough and thick. I’m only less than a meter tall, and I won’t even lose a single scale.”
Chu Ying was relieved when she heard Chu Ze’s voice.
“Brother Chu, go into the water and try to see if you can adapt to the water quality here.”
Li Manman had some understanding of fish farming. She knew that if he went into the water without adapting to the water quality, he might die suddenly.
However, after several evolutions, Chu Ze’s adaptability was stronger than that of ordinary humans. A change in environment wouldn’t have any negative effects on him.
Moreover, the water in Lake Mweru looked extremely clear. It didn’t look like it had been polluted.
The truth was the same. After many years of protection, the slightly polluted water in the lake had returned to its original state.
After reaching the ground, Chu Ze didn’t need the help of the two girls at all. He swung his tail left and right, and with a few rolls, he directly slid into the water along the lakeside.
After reaching the lake, Chu Ze felt that something was different.
It was as if he had been released from prison. He felt freedom.
He didn’t dare to swim with all his strength in the fish tank. Now that he was in Lake Mweru, which stretched as far as his eyes could see, he could completely let go and swim at full speed.
The two people standing on the shore could only see under the moonlight. A golden figure was shuttling across the surface of the lake at high speed.
This was the result of Chu Ze sticking close to the surface of the lake. As long as Chu Ze sank a little, they wouldn’t be able to see anything.
After swimming for a while, Chu Ze returned to the shore.
“It feels so good. I can’t swim freely in the fish tank. I can’t move at all. It’s much more comfortable in Lake Mweru.”
Seeing Chu Ze so happy in the lake, Chu Ying smiled.
“Brother, it’s good that you feel comfortable here. We’ll come here often in the future.”
Li Manman looked at the lake and said worriedly, “Although the water quality here is very good, and I’ve never heard of monsters hurting people, you can’t let your guard down.”
“Lake Mweru is so big. Until now, no one has dared to say what’s inside.”
Chu Ze nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll run away if I feel in danger. I have human intelligence, can’t I beat those fish?”
“By the way, Brother Chu, you need to be careful not only of those mutated creatures but also of humans. Many people will come here to fish. Run away as soon as you see them.”
Chu Ying was also worried. “Brother, the environment here is indeed more suitable for you to live in, but it’s also more dangerous as you leave home. You have to be careful.”
Looking at the two of them, Chu Ze nodded and said, “I got it. I’ll be careful. You two should go back early. You two still have school tomorrow.”
Although they were reluctant to leave, they could no longer live together.
Seeing the two of them reluctant to leave, Chu Ze felt a little helpless and could only persuade them to leave.
“The two of you should hurry back. It’s not a life and death parting. If you want to see me, you can come again tomorrow.”
Chu Ying and Li Manman left reluctantly.
Now, only Chu Ze was left. He could dive directly to the bottom of the lake.
The huge Chu Ze dived down, and the fish in this small area of water began to boil.
This was because Chu Ze was constantly chasing after the nearby fish. Fish were constantly being devoured by Chu Ze.
[ Devoured an adult grass carp. Obtained + 10 evolution points. ]
[ Devoured an adult silver carp. Obtained + 13 evolution points. ]
In just an hour, Chu Ze’s evolution points had reached more than 700. The fish in the vicinity were still a lot.
However, Chu Ze felt his stomach.
“Burp, I’m actually full. I thought these things were directly devoured by the system. Let’s continue eating after some exercise..”
