Chapter 211: Going to Other Planets? Another World! (Please read and follow!)
Lu Zheng was not exaggerating; this was indeed almost unsolvable.
Even if he could eliminate all the parasites within the current Safe Zone, more illusory parasitic gu would surely emerge from the pit.
Unless everyone used an ‘Armor Summoner’ to keep themselves in a completely protected state.
But first, the armor couldn't be maintained indefinitely and would consume a large amount of energy.
Even for daily life, it was impossible to wear armor at all times.
As long as there were defensive gaps, it meant complete undefendability.
For now, he could only ask Wang Shengbang to check if there were any ability users who could counter this type of insect.
Lu Zheng used his sword qi to casually eliminate the completely parasitic bug-man in front of him, then had Tantai Huanyan and Tantai Xiaoyu track the location of Xiao Hui, as mentioned by Miss Tang.
Xiao Hui had just gone missing, so she should still have self-awareness.
As expected, Tantai Huanyan quickly pinpointed the location, and Lu Zheng followed her guidance to the land layer of the aerial Safe Zone.
He found Xiao Hui in a large underground cave.
All the missing people were here.
On their backs, an illusory parasitic gu was clinging.
These insects varied in size, seemingly growing gradually.
The situation where the entire spine was completely occupied meant they were fully parasitized.
A few illusory parasitic gu seemed to have detected Lu Zheng's presence; the people they parasitized suddenly opened their eyes, then revealed bloodthirsty gazes and lunged at Lu Zheng.
The next moment, they were reduced to dust by sword qi.
Lu Zheng only needed a slight perception to confirm that only Xiao Hui and three others still retained self-awareness; the rest had already been infected.
He didn't hesitate and immediately eliminated all the parasitic bodies except for these four people.
Then, he used the Beast Taming Ring to control the illusory parasitic gu on the four people, making them actively detach themselves.
As a type of parasite, once it detaches from the host, it cannot survive for long.
He first gave a Returning Spring Pill to the four living people, then sealed them into cards. Only then did Lu Zheng control the four detached illusory parasitic gu to search for their kind.
He felt that these things definitely didn't just parasitize those people.
Indeed, he soon found a group of parasitized cattle, sheep, and pigs.
Many mutated cattle, sheep, and pigs were raised on the Safe Zone's land to provide meat.
Many of these creatures were also parasitized.
After thoroughly clearing this Safe Zone, Lu Zheng returned to Miss Tang's side.
Lu Zheng released Xiao Hui, and upon seeing her, Miss Tang excitedly hugged her tightly.
Although these children were not her biological ones, she had protected and raised them since the beginning of the apocalypse, seeing herself as a mother figure.
She was truly very worried.
After her excitement, she suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Where's Xiao Can?"
Lu Zheng said in a deep voice:
"She's dead."
"All the missing people were captured by an insect and used as hosts for parasitism. Only Xiao Hui and three others could be saved."
"Xiao Can has already perished."
"You should have already received the emergency assembly notification."
"The danger of this parasite is very great; I currently don't have a good way to directly prevent or cure it."
"You should gather as soon as possible. I'm going to other Safe Zones to help deal with the parasites."
When Miss Tang heard that Xiao Can was dead, her heart felt as if struck by a heavy hammer. But before she could grieve, she heard Lu Zheng talk about the parasite crisis, and her whole body trembled.
"I understand. You be careful!"
She grabbed Lu Zheng's arm and said.
The grief and fear brought by the crisis made her more dependent on Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng smiled and patted her head.
"Don't worry, these insects pose no threat to me. I'm just going to save people."
"Protect yourself."
With that, Lu Zheng disappeared directly.
Holy Heart Association headquarters.
Shi Muqing, who had just received the notification, quickly gathered everyone, then she noticed that two people were missing from her team.
"What's going on? Where did they go?"
Shi Muqing demanded.
One person replied:
"I don't know. I didn't see them this morning. I don't know where they went."
Shi Muqing's expression darkened. Just as she was about to say something, a person flashed beside her.
"Vice Director Lu, why are you here?"
Shi Muqing was a bit surprised. Since she asked Lu Zheng for help last time, she hadn't sought him out for several days, so she didn't expect Lu Zheng to visit suddenly.
Lu Zheng said:
"Let the others gather first. I'll take you to find those two people."
Hearing him say that, Shi Muqing didn't hesitate and directly ordered the vice-president to lead everyone to the square according to the instructions.
After the people left, Shi Muqing then asked:
"How did you know someone was missing here?"
"I heard it when I came over just now."
Lu Zheng said casually.
Immediately after, he recounted the story of the illusory parasitic gu.
When she heard that the thing could silently attach itself to a person's back and complete parasitism, Shi Muqing's hair stood on end, feeling a chill down her spine.
But when Lu Zheng took her to see the parasitized people and livestock, she had already calmed down.
"Mr. Lu, you are incredibly capable. Can this thing be eradicated?"
Lu Zheng shook his head and said:
"The parasites emerged from the pit. As long as the pit exists, these things will continue to exist."
"Moreover, besides humans, they also parasitize large spinal mutated beasts."
"Although it's now covered in ice for thousands of miles, there are still many mutated beasts."
"These things will only become more numerous in the future, unless all spinal creatures here die out."
Shi Muqing said somewhat unwillingly:
"I know you'll definitely have a way, won't you?"
Lu Zheng looked at her and smiled:
"Indeed, I still have one method, a most extreme method."
Shi Muqing eagerly asked:
"I knew it!"
"You can definitely do it."
"What's the method?"
Lu Zheng said faintly:
"Everyone, leave this place."
Shi Muqing's smile froze, and she said in astonishment:
"Leave here?"
"Are we to leave this planet and go to other planets?"
"You should be able to establish a Safe Zone on another planet, but without oxygen, would we be unable to survive?"
Lu Zheng had indeed considered going to other planets.
His dimensional barrier was enough to completely fix a planet in a certain position.
But that would be too troublesome.
Oxygen problems, ecological problems, many, many problems.
It would be better to go to another world together.
He had an idea.
Seal everyone and take them to the Yan Han World. More humans would bring greater productivity, and eliminating the zombies shouldn't take long.
Once the zombies, this infectious evolutionary group, were removed, the remaining mutated beasts would be easier to deal with.
And he wasn't completely abandoning the Yanxia World.
Instead, it would be specifically used as a breeding ground, with only a garrison stationed there to regularly harvest crystals.
This way, he could both avoid the invasion of illusory parasitic gu and keep all resources in his hands!
He wanted to monopolize all the crystals brought by the pit monsters.
