Chapter 57: Don't Be Ungrateful, You'll Regret It! (Please keep reading)
Lu Zheng's idea was simple: gather everyone together and use them as bait to attract the insects.
He only needed to continuously release the Beast Taming Ring to expand his insect army.
After all, the Beast Taming Ring was limitless.
The more insects he controlled, the faster he could harvest crystals.
Every little bit adds up.
Fifty Tier 2 crystals allowed him to advance to Tier 3; perhaps five hundred Tier 2 crystals could elevate him to Tier 4.
He couldn't slack off on improving his energy level.
Only with powerful strength could he have the opportunity to unlock more material cards.
Lu Zheng entered the black fog, and the students exchanged glances, many with expressions of worry and fear.
Tang Cailin looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"Students, the school's supplies are very limited. If we stay, tomorrow or the day after, we will still need to venture into the black fog to find supplies, and we'll still have to face the insects."
"At that time, we'll be facing them alone."
"This person is very powerful. He easily eliminated those insects just now and can even control other low-tier insects."
"Following him is our only chance at survival."
"Everyone, at any time, choice is greater than effort."
"This is the only chance to live. Think of your parents, think of your families. You must survive to have a day to see them again."
At this moment, Sun Wuxing also stepped forward and said:
"Teacher Tang is right, we have no other choice. Staying means death."
"The environment here is no longer suitable for us to live in; we must relocate. And during the process, having such a powerful ability user to protect us makes it much safer than acting on our own."
"Don't hesitate, let's go now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Yu shouted loudly.
"Go, I'll lead the way, follow me downstairs!"
Students are at an age of high spirits and courage. After some guidance, almost everyone followed downstairs.
There weren't many supplies left anyway, so everyone grabbed a few things they could carry and quickly ran.
As they got closer, they realized that in the black fog, a luxurious RV was driving with its headlights on, illuminating the road ahead.
Lu Zheng wasn't inside the car but stood on the roof, which made it easier for him to control the pursuing insects.
Walking was too slow.
Lu Zheng made them all ride bicycles. The injured had been treated, and those who absolutely couldn't ride were carried by others. There was no way they could ride in Lu Zheng's RV.
Although he could summon countless luxurious RVs, they weren't for these outsiders.
The car's speed wasn't fast, as the Double-Tailed Scorpion needed to clear the path first. At the same time, Lu Zheng needed these people to attract insects, and if they moved too quickly, it wouldn't be effective.
As Lu Zheng expected, as the car moved, insects quickly gathered in large numbers.
Double-Tailed Scorpions and Scythe Mantiss rapidly converged, attracted by the spies controlled by Lu Zheng.
The Beast Taming Ring in Lu Zheng's hand continuously flew out, and the insect army continued to expand.
By the time they approached the Jinge Building, the total number of Scythe Mantiss he controlled had exceeded four thousand, and Double-Tailed Scorpions exceeded two hundred.
This was a very powerful force, enough to completely tear apart a small army.
And ordinary citizens, even if their numbers were double this, would not be able to withstand the attack of this group of killing machines.
For the students, the entire transfer process was just a false alarm.
Although insects continuously charged at the crowd along the way, they were all stopped at the periphery by the insects controlled by Lu Zheng and then brought under control.
In fact, the students in the middle had no idea what was happening.
The Jinge Building had a high flow of people, and with abundant supplies here, many people would likely choose to gather here.
Lu Zheng felt that there must be many survivors inside.
Xiong Jiner investigated and indeed, over three thousand people were alive within the entire building.
This meant that a fragile new order of the apocalypse had formed inside, maintaining basic stability.
The establishment of order requires a stable material foundation, indicating that a significant amount of food was stored here.
The area beneath the Jinge Building swallowed by the black fog was filled with Scythe Mantiss and Double-Tailed Scorpions; they were clearly attracted by the aura of those three thousand-plus people.
Lu Zheng immediately took action to control all of them, further expanding his insect army.
The luxurious RV stopped at the entrance, and Xiong Jiner, Gu Miantang, Zheng Jingyi, and Pang Ruoyu exited in sequence.
Pang Ruoyu and Tang Cailin embraced.
"Cailin, I'm sorry, you haven't truly become Lu Zheng's person yet, so he won't let you get in the car. When we return, you won't have to ride a bike; it's very comfortable in the car."
Pang Ruoyu's words made Tang Cailin's face flush.
Thinking of her promise, she couldn't help but sigh.
"He's here for Xue Qi, isn't he?"
Pang Ruoyu nodded at her words.
"Lu Zheng is a big pervert. He originally established a base at Canglan University, sheltering many people. Later, he helped our Director Gu's niece find Director Gu, saw me, and not only made me follow him but also asked me to name a few women."
"I thought you might need rescue, so I mentioned you two."
"He's still reasonable; if you don't agree, he won't force you to come with him."
Tang Cailin was not angered by Pang Ruoyu's 'betrayal'; instead, she said gratefully:
"Thank you. If he hadn't appeared, I might really have died."
"He is indeed very capable, able to bring all these people here. Perhaps my choice was the best choice."
While the two were reminiscing, Lu Zheng had already led people upstairs.
Meanwhile, on the eighth floor, a fierce battle had just concluded.
Wei Xun spoke while receiving bandages:
"Xue Qi, don't worry anymore."
"Li Dayong and his gang have been scared off by me; they can only hide downstairs. Once my injuries recover a bit, I'll lead people to hunt them down and eliminate them completely."
"I won't let anyone bully you. Everyone who wants to take you away must die!"
Shi Xueqi saw Wei Xun's fierce look and forced a smile.
"Mr. Wei, thank you for your care. If order is restored in the future, I will do my best to promote your company and bring you considerable profits."
Hearing this, Wei Xun snorted lightly.
"Xue Qi, don't you understand my feelings for you?"
"Do you think I'm not good enough for you?"
Shi Xueqi quickly waved her hand.
"No, it's not. It's that I'm not good enough for you."
"You are the CEO of a listed group, and I am just an artist. I'm not presentable and can't embarrass you."
"What's more, you have a wife and children, and your wife is also very virtuous."
"You have treated me well; how could I do something so morally corrupt that would destroy your family?"
Wei Xun suddenly stood up, looked into Shi Xueqi's eyes, and sneered:
"These thousands of people in the Jinge Building all depend on me to support them, and you are one of them, no different."
"I'm giving you face by letting you say it yourself, so don't be ungrateful."
"Now I'm going to eliminate Li Dayong. When I return, I hope to hear good news. Otherwise, you will regret it."
