Chapter 87: I Can't Rest Easy Without You, I Want You to Be Happy! (Seeking Reads)

Lu Zheng quickly left Xishan Base using a teleportation talisman, arriving in Fenglin City in less than ten minutes.

Once in the city, he released Shi Xueqi from the Seal Card (Seal Card).

Then he had her open a spatial gate, found Tantai Xiaoyu, and had her use telepathy to pinpoint Zhang Ningzhu's location.

Tantai Xiaoyu activated her sensory ability, and the next moment, her expression changed.

“Oh no, this sister is in danger!”

“Husband, in that direction, twelve kilometers away, there’s a fourth-tier Frost Centipede!”

The Frost Centipede was currently the most powerful monster to have crawled out of the sinkhole.

Everywhere it went, it left a trail of ice.

Ordinary people, let alone being attacked, would freeze to death just by passing near it.

No sooner had Tantai Xiaoyu finished speaking than Lu Zheng sealed both of them back into cards.

Activating a teleportation talisman, twelve kilometers was covered in an instant.

This was a sixteen-story building, and the giant centipede, over twenty meters long, was currently clinging to the base of the building, frantically attacking its lower floors. The entire building was teetering.

A woman in a trench coat stood on the back of a large bird, controlling alloy spikes, like awls, to attack the Frost Centipede.

The spikes’ attack power was strong, leaving wounds on the Frost Centipede’s body.

However, due to its tough defense and the slowing effect of its freezing energy, she was unable to achieve an effective kill.

Zhang Ningzhu’s Gravity Field ability was still third-tier; breaking through to fourth-tier required too many crystals, and it was already difficult for Lu Zheng to help her advance to third-tier.

She had too many things she needed to do herself and simply didn't have the spare energy to acquire enough crystals to evolve.

Traveling by land, Zhang Ningzhu had spent too much time en route.

She had only found her family yesterday.

Today, just as things were stabilizing, she attracted a fourth-tier monster, the Frost Centipede.

This bug possessed a certain level of intelligence.

It couldn't leave the black mist, so it directly destroyed the lower floors of the building to make the entire structure collapse, allowing it to get to the living beings above.

Many tall buildings in various places had been destroyed by these Frost Centipedes.

There were not many high-rise buildings left for people to hide in to begin with; with some damaged, the number became even smaller.

Zhang Ningzhu was very anxious at this moment.

Her parents were inside the building behind her; if the building collapsed, her parents and relatives would all be affected and die.

Just as she took out a grenade, preparing to find a way to inflict a serious injury on the Frost Centipede, a rocket suddenly flew onto the Frost Centipede’s body.

‘Boom!’ ‘Boom!’ ‘Boom!’

It wasn't just one; it was three in a row.

One armor-piercing round, one fuel-air explosive, and one incendiary round.

The three shells exploded almost simultaneously.

The Frost Centipede’s hard outer shell was immediately blown open with a huge gap; the fuel-air explosive amplified the damage, and the incendiary round made the damage continuous.

The bugs emerging from the sinkhole had extremely tenacious vitality.

Despite such severe injuries, it was still alive, continuously releasing freezing aura in all directions, attempting to counterattack.

But Lu Zheng, standing in the air, was not affected in the slightest.

A rocket launcher appeared in his hand again.

If three rounds couldn't solve it, then a few more!

He used a spatial lock to restrain it and fired at the wound he had just created.

Two more shells blew a hole straight through it.

It finally stopped struggling, its remaining body twitching, looking quite pathetic.

Zhang Ningzhu looked at the man who had flashed before her, a momentary blankness in her eyes.

“Husband, why are you here?”

Lu Zheng put his arm around her waist and said with a smile:

“Of course, I couldn't rest easy without you, so I came to find you.”

“But if you came here, what about the other sisters?”

Zhang Ningzhu knew very well that everyone relied on Lu Zheng alone for support; if he came to find her, wouldn't the others be left to fend for themselves?

Although she knew Lu Zheng liked her a lot, she felt her charm wasn't enough for Lu Zheng to abandon the entire forest.

Lu Zheng hugged her waist and playfully tapped her small nose.

“So clever. Don't worry, we’ll see them all very soon.”

“Come on, first take me to meet your parents-in-law.”

Zhang Ningzhu, however, looked at the dead centipede.

“Husband, you didn’t take the crystals.”

The crystals of a fourth-tier Frost Centipede were equivalent to two thousand first-tier crystals, extremely valuable.

She felt it shouldn't be wasted like that.

But Lu Zheng waved his hand, releasing a large vulture. The vulture flew onto the centipede's body and accurately found the crystals.

The higher the tier of a bug’s crystals, the harder they were; fourth-tier crystals couldn't be destroyed by shells.

With the crystals in hand, Lu Zheng retrieved the Fire-Swallowing Vulture.

He placed the crystals in Zhang Ningzhu’s palm, smiling:

“Take them. Consider it compensation for me not being by your side.”

These things were far more precious than diamonds.

Zhang Ningzhu couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion. She immediately hugged Lu Zheng's waist and kissed him.

Her lips left a fragrant taste.

“Husband, tonight I’m going to make you happy!”

Zhang Ningzhu said, her face slightly flushed.

Not long after, the two entered the building.

Seeing Zhang Ningzhu return safely, the trembling crowd quickly gathered around her.

Many people were stunned when they saw her arm linked with a man's.

Most men who had witnessed Zhang Ningzhu’s excellence would feel inferior, even afraid to meet her gaze.

Let alone standing shoulder to shoulder with her.

The current situation was even more serious: Zhang Ningzhu was actively linking arms with a man.

It was simply unbelievable!

The first to react was Zhang Ningzhu’s father, Zhang Huan. He cleared his throat and asked:

“Ning Zhu, who is this?”

Before she could introduce him, Lu Zheng spoke up proactively:

“Uncle and Auntie, I’m Lu Zheng, Ning Zhu’s boyfriend.”

“Back when she was in Zhongyang Prefecture, she came looking for you, and I couldn't rest easy, so I came over too.”

Zhang Ningzhu had already told her parents about Lu Zheng yesterday. They also knew that Zhang Ningzhu was able to make it all the way here thanks to Lu Zheng's help.

Fang Shuyi was quite excited to see Lu Zheng.

“That’s wonderful! With Mr. Lu here, we won’t be in danger anymore.”

Zhang Ningzhu quickly said:

“Mom and Dad, it’s not safe here anymore. Lu Zheng said he’d help transfer you to a safe place. You’ll listen to his instructions in a bit.”

As she spoke, Lu Zheng took out a card, tossed it casually, and a beautiful woman appeared out of thin air.

Everyone was stunned again.

Magic trick? Conjuring a living person!?

Lu Zheng introduced her to Zhang Ningzhu:

“Ning Zhu, this is Xue Qi. She used to be a celebrity; you should have heard of her.”

Shi Xueqi, seeing Zhang Ningzhu, felt a sense of mutual appreciation as both were high-quality women.

“Hello, Little Ning Zhu. I’m Shi Xueqi. I’ll open the spatial gate to send you all to Canglan City.”

Although finding a new building within this YL City might not necessarily offer worse living conditions than Canglan City.

However, being scattered was inconvenient, so Lu Zheng still wanted to gather everyone together.

Shi Xueqi opened the spatial gate. The other side of the gate was currently on the fifth floor of Jinge Building. With Zhang Ningzhu leading the way, everyone passed through the gate in succession, arriving in another city.

Gu Lengyue and the others would arrange things for these people. Lu Zheng only introduced a few newcomers to Zhang Ningzhu before returning to Xifeng County.

Then he arrived at Xishan Base.

Flashing before Meng Lianyun, he asked straightforwardly:

“What have you decided?”

At the same time, Fang Qiankun was asking the same question to a girl.
