Chapter 150: The Bug's Taunt, A Mermaid! (Seeking further reads)

Lu Zheng's conclusion was taken seriously by Wang Shengbang and others, who immediately contacted various bases to control personnel.

At this moment, the importance of the aerial Safe Zone became even more prominent.

The upper area was a completely enclosed environment.

However, ground bases could not be completely sealed off, making it very easy for dozens of people to infiltrate.

These creatures, defined as 'Bugmen,' caused all bases to sound alarms overnight and conduct a large-scale investigation.

But only specific ability users or high-level ability users with strong mental power could detect the differences in these Bugmen, making the investigation extremely difficult.

Just an hour later, Mingzhu Base discovered a complete Bugman.

His appearance was like that of a normal adult, with his clothing, demeanor, and speech all resembling a regular human.

When discovered, he was already a captain of a hunting squad.

Upon realizing he was exposed, he did not struggle but instead showed a strange smile.

"Humans, this world will ultimately belong to us!"

After speaking, the fellow ended his own life.

The bug inside him suddenly burst, his head exploded, and he died completely.

All the Chiefs, including Lu Zheng, watched this footage.

"Too arrogant! These bugs act as if they've already got us. We must eliminate them completely!" Fang Qiankun said furiously.

Qiu Keqin spoke:

"Currently, the number of survivors outside the bases is no less than those within our large bases. These Bugmen can easily blend in among them, forming a resistance force."

"Our greatest reliance, our rear, is the aerial Safe Zone. It's necessary to accelerate the construction of the Safe Zone to ensure the normal reproduction of humanity."

"Otherwise, even if we can last ten or twenty years, without descendants, without young people, we will eventually perish."

At this point, he paused and looked at Mr. Lu.

"Mr. Lu, the reward we promised you will not change."

"But please, considering the urgency of the situation, how about you focus all your efforts on helping us build the aerial Safe Zone first?"

"The bases' crystals will be allocated to you first."

Wang Shengbang also spoke upon hearing this:

"Mr. Lu, I just received two pieces of information you wanted, and I'll tell you in a moment."

"Chief Qiu is right; we need your help to reduce personnel losses."

"The crystals will be given to you first; we just hope you can prioritize the construction of the Safe Zone."

Lu Zheng did not refuse.

Massive population loss would not benefit him either.

On the contrary, if the major bases fully supplied him with crystals, his strength would see another significant increase.

Building this Safe Zone didn't consume much of his energy anyway.

Being able to make a quick fortune was a great opportunity.

"Alright, starting tomorrow morning, I will go to various places to establish Safe Zones."

"You must do a good job with the personnel screening; don't let my hard work go to waste."

Upon hearing Lu Zheng's prompt agreement, the Chiefs of a dozen bases immediately showed surprised expressions.

They had done business with Lu Zheng many times.

Lu Zheng had always been a cash-on-delivery type, not providing goods without crystals.

Unexpectedly, he directly agreed to such a large order this time.

Building such a large Safe Zone, anyone could see, would consume an enormous amount of energy.

Yet Lu Zheng agreed directly.

This even moved many people.

Wang Shengbang sighed:

"The more critical the moment, the more it reveals true righteousness."

"Mr. Lu's willingness to step forward is something all survivors should be grateful for."

"I will make sure everyone knows about this, and everyone will consider you a benefactor from now on."

Lu Zheng quickly waved his hand.

"That won't be necessary."

"Just help me keep an eye out for the people I'm looking for; that's enough."

Upon hearing this, the majestic image of Lu Zheng in the hearts of Qiu Keqin and others immediately showed cracks.

But it didn't matter; it was just a minor flaw.

After the meeting, the various Chiefs went to arrange their affairs, while Wang Shengbang passed the two pieces of information he had just mentioned to Mr. Lu.

Lu Zheng merely glanced at them and found that they both had a common characteristic.

They were both beast transformation ability users.

And after seeing their introductions and photos, Lu Zheng's eyes lit up.

Both of them met the requirements of the Transcendental Material Card!

"Ding! Survivor detected, scanning in progress."

"Name: Tang Youyu"

"Age: Twenty-four"

"Identity: Swimmer, multiple gold medalist, writer"

"Evaluation: Possesses a perfect body curve, physical strength, good at thinking, capable of appreciating beauty, has an upward-looking and loving heart, helped many poor people, enjoys helping others."

"Conclusion: Meets the four requirements of 'virtuous and gentle, intelligent and beautiful,' successful protection, can obtain one Transcendental Quality Infinite Material Card."

Tang Youyu was not in a large base.

She lived with a group of people in a lake island paradise.

There were no pits on that island, and the lake, unlike the ocean, had no bugs. Therefore, before flying monsters appeared, it was an excellent Safe Zone.

Yesterday, rescue personnel from Yushan Base discovered this base, where over two thousand people lived.

Tang Youyu was their leader.

She mastered the ability to transform into a fish among the beast transformation abilities.

After partially transforming her body, she could breathe underwater and use weapons, killing many bugs by luring them into the water.

At the same time, she brought many supplies to the base.

Upon learning about the official bases, she also wanted to hand over the people to a base and then go search for her family.

Moreover, resources on the lake island were exhausted, and its defenses could not withstand large numbers of Dizzying Ghost-faced Bats, so a transfer was necessary.

However, since Yushan Base did not have extra teleportation arrays, the personnel transfer work was temporarily put on hold.

"Ding! Survivor detected, scanning in progress."

"Name: Ji Muxue"

"Age: Twenty-five"

"Identity: Rhythmic gymnast, e-sports streamer, wilderness survival expert"

"Evaluation: Achieved the ultimate mastery and development of her body, possesses powerful thinking and judgment, not only has an exquisite appearance but also an active, upward-looking, and constantly pioneering spirit. Kind-hearted, compassionate, and responsible."

"Conclusion: Meets the four requirements of 'virtuous and gentle, intelligent and beautiful,' successful protection, can obtain one Transcendental Quality Infinite Material Card."

Ji Muxue belonged to the top tier of humanity.

Lu Zheng remembered seeing short videos of this woman.

She once survived alone in the wilderness for half a year, recording it into short videos and posting them online, which instantly went viral.

Afterward, she used this traffic to become an e-sports streamer.

No matter what she did, she excelled.

It was not surprising that such a person could survive until now.

Moreover, she also possessed powerful abilities.

The woman's legs in the photo looked very powerful, definitely possessing strong explosive force, and her combat ability was among the top tier.

She currently belonged to a civilian ability user organization within Tianquan Base.
