Chapter 165: Seeing an Old Classmate Again, How Could That Be the Same! (Seeking Continuous Reads)

Lu Zheng was very satisfied with these two excellent individuals.

"Mr. Wang's information is very timely, and it's good. I will continue to help everyone establish aerial Safe Zones, striving to transfer everyone to the sky."

Wang Shengbang said,

"That would be wonderful."

"The temperature has already dropped to zero degrees, and according to expert predictions, it might rapidly fall to minus twenty degrees within ten days."

"The black fog has obscured the earth, absorbing the energy from the sun."

"A global cold period is imminent, and before that, there will likely be massive floods caused by heavy snowfall."

"Mr. Lu, the reason I came to you this time is to discuss this matter."

"The evacuation of people in coastal cities needs to be expedited. We need your greater support and assistance."

Lu Zheng was also concerned about the temperature.

He had long noticed that the temperature was dropping a bit too quickly. It was only early autumn, yet daytime temperatures were already below freezing, which was clearly unusual.

However, he didn't understand climate change and predictions. Now that he learned about the potential disasters from Wang Shengbang, he became vigilant.

Although his cruise ship on the ocean was protected by a spatial barrier and wouldn't be affected by tsunamis,

he still had many platforms on the sea surface for mutated beasts to hand over crystals.

If a crisis erupted, his crystals might be swept into the water, which would be a huge waste.

He quickly instructed the mutated beasts in the ocean to remain vigilant and report any anomalies immediately.

At the same time, he asked Wang Shengbang to compile statistics on how many people in coastal areas needed how many aerial Safe Zones.

With temperatures dropping rapidly, he still had to prioritize the construction of Safe Zones.

He needed to find women who met his requirements to obtain more Unlimited Material Cards. The larger the population base, the more suitable targets he could find.

If a base of 100,000 people were to be destroyed, there might be two or three women who met his requirements buried there as well.

From a humanitarian perspective, Lu Zheng needed to intervene.

Not to mention, from the perspective of his own interests, he had even more reason to help.

In the adult world, most decisions are the result of weighing pros and cons.

Regarding gains and losses, everyone has their own standards of measurement.

Wang Shengbang thought that Lu Zheng was willing to help them just for news of a few top beauties, which was like doing charity. In reality, what Lu Zheng expended was just a little energy, which he could quickly recover.

The houses and land used to build the Safe Zones were all from the Unlimited Material Card. Unlimited quantities meant no consumption.

And getting information meant new Unlimited Material Cards.

For Lu Zheng, it was a huge profit!

He worked tirelessly for a day and a night above various coastal bases, building twenty-five aerial Safe Zones in one go.

Although each Safe Zone only had 100,000 houses, a single Safe Zone could accommodate 500,000 people without any pressure.

Including the previous five Safe Zones, there was enough capacity to house fifteen million people.

It was certainly enough to relocate all survivors from the coastal bases to seek refuge above.

After this busy period, Lu Zheng decided to take a break.

His women were all busy preparing for the hunting competition, so he simply came to Fengzhou Base in Nanhua Commandery.

This area was inland, so no aerial Safe Zones had been established yet.

People were still living within the black fog, relying on firelight to illuminate a small area.

At first glance, it was as if he had arrived in a mysterious domain.

Lu Zheng didn't make a big show of it. He merely inquired his way to the vicinity of the Rose Society, then used a few controlled small birds to pinpoint Chu Xiaoxiao's location.

Then, he orchestrated a chance encounter.

Chu Xiaoxiao was about to go out to hunt for crystals, accompanied by four other women.

As they walked towards each other, Lu Zheng paused, and Chu Xiaoxiao also caught a glimpse of him.

"Are you Lu Zheng?"

She was the first to ask.

Because at this time, Lu Zheng was dressed cleanly, virtually spotless, and coupled with the improvements brought by the Strengthening Pill, his looks had improved even further.

He was very eye-catching.

Lu Zheng feigned surprise and nodded.

"It's me. Are you Chu Xiaoxiao?"

The latter nodded and smiled,

"Yes, a high school classmate. It really is you!"

At this moment, a plump girl next to her asked doubtfully,

"How come I don't remember having such a classmate? Did we have such a handsome guy in our high school?"

Lu Zheng looked at her, and a faint memory surfaced in his mind.

"Are you Yu Meihua?"

"I didn't expect you to still be by Chu Xiaoxiao's side."

Yu Meihua was Chu Xiaoxiao's deskmate, not particularly attractive, and had a bad personality. He hadn't expected her to still be by Chu Xiaoxiao's side.

After all, Chu Xiaoxiao was no ordinary person; to achieve such a high position, her friends' statuses wouldn't be too low either.

Upon hearing this, Yu Hongmei sneered,

"I'm Xiaoxiao's best friend, of course I'd be by her side."

"Now we're going to hunt worms. What's the use of you being handsome now? Can you kill worms?"

"Don't block our way. Our Rose Society doesn't welcome men."

Chu Xiaoxiao quickly interjected,

"Lu Zheng, we really are going to hunt worms. Let's find time to meet up at noon."

She was a helpful person and didn't want to have a bad relationship with her classmate.

It was for this reason that she had accepted Yu Hongmei and helped her establish herself in Fengzhou City.

Lu Zheng didn't get entangled. He nodded and said,

"Okay, I'll treat you to lunch at noon."

With that, he directly waved and called over a hummingbird the size of his palm.

"Tell this little bird when you return, and I'll come to meet you."

After leaving that message, he turned and left.

The hummingbird chirped and circled Chu Xiaoxiao once, then landed on her shoulder.

Chu Xiaoxiao immediately exclaimed in surprise,

"Is his ability to control small birds? How amazing."

Yu Hongmei, who was nearby, said disdainfully,

"What's so amazing about that?"

"A hundred small birds can't defeat even one first-tier Scythe Mantis. At most, he's just a reconnaissance assistant."

"Xiaoxiao, you can't be misled by such a man who's only good to look at but useless."

"What's the use of a man being handsome!"

Chu Xiaoxiao blinked at her.

"Didn't you say when you were fangirling that only handsome men counted as men?"

"Oh, come on! How could that be the same!"

Yu Hongmei quickly said,

"My oppa was a celebrity. Back then, that represented success and fame, handsome and rich, and so many people liked him. Even wearing a wedding dress for him made me feel valuable."

"But now it's the apocalypse. Only strong power is fundamental."

"Men like Lu Zheng are the most unreliable."

"Sister, I can't watch you fall into the abyss!"

Chu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, not responding, just nodding.

The morning's battle quickly ended.

They only hunted some Scythe Mantiss and a few Double-Tailed Scorpions, just to earn some cultivation resources for themselves.

Chu Xiaoxiao was about to go find Lu Zheng. As soon as she stepped out, Yu Hongmei followed her.

"Xiaoxiao, I knew you were too soft-hearted and would definitely meet him again. I'm coming with you!"

"Then, I'll let you see his inferior demeanor."
