Chapter 46: As long as it can be breached, it will surely die today! (Seeking continued readership)

Lu Zheng’s cold-blooded killing almost scared that person senseless.

Now, kicked to the ground and utterly terrified, he quickly led a few people to the prison cells where criminals were held.

There, they saw a group of refugees confined in cramped cells.

Most of these people were pale and emaciated, clearly due to a lack of sufficient food.

Upon reaching a cell door, the man pointed inside.

“Here, these are the people Mao Song brought.”

At a glance, Xiong Jin’er didn't see her parents or relatives, and her heart immediately sank to rock bottom.

She noticed a familiar face and stepped forward to ask:

“Uncle Wang, I’m Jin’er. Where are my parents?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Hai, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them and widened them slightly upon seeing Xiong Jin’er.

“Jin’er, why were you also captured? They are a bunch of beasts, quickly leave!”

These words made Xiong Jin’er even more deeply uneasy.

She quickly said:

“Uncle Wang, don’t be scared. The bad guys have been killed by us. Please tell me quickly, where are my parents?”

Hearing the news that the bad guys had been killed, Wang Hai was stunned again.

He glanced at Sun Xiaonan’s trembling subordinate next to him, then shed tears and said:

“They’re dead, all dead.”

“Security Officer Mao Song brought us here with great difficulty, and we thought we had escaped a disaster.”

“A monster appeared that day. Mao Song and the other security officers went to resist it together, suffered serious injuries, and then they were murdered by Sun Xiaonan’s group, who stole their weapons.”

“Sun Xiaonan didn’t give us food; he only used us as fodder for the monster.”

“Brother Xiong and the others were fed to that monster as fodder!”

In an instant, Xiong Jin’er's body stiffened, as if struck by lightning.

“Are you saying my parents are already dead?”

Wang Hai sighed.

“Child, you must pull yourself together. Everyone dies.”

“At least, you have already avenged your parents.”

Lu Zheng stepped forward and embraced Xiong Jin’er, who immediately burst into loud sobs.

“Strive to become stronger!”

“Perhaps one day, we can master the ability to resurrect people. Then, we won’t have to be so sad.”

Hearing this, Xiong Jin’er immediately thought of Zheng Jingyi’s Holy Light ability.

Then she thought of the abilities mastered by others; there were all sorts of powers, and perhaps, there really would be a resurrection spell!

She cried in Lu Zheng’s arms for three minutes. After three minutes, she looked up.

“Husband, I want all of Sun Xiaonan’s people to die.”

“I want to kill that worm!”

Lu Zheng didn't hesitate at all, nodding and saying:

“Alright, kill them all.”

An hour later, the entire prison was empty of prisoners, with only some refugees remaining.

Based on the descriptions from Wang Hai and others, Lu Zheng roughly calculated the size of the worm, and then waited near the hole where Wang Hai fed the monster.

This worm appeared very regularly, seemingly needing time to digest what it ate.

After waiting for about an hour and a half, Xiong Jin’er suddenly whispered:

“It’s coming!”

“The life fluctuations are very strong, far exceeding those of a Double-Tailed Scorpion. It’s very likely a Tier 3 monster.”

“Husband, won’t it be too dangerous?”

Perhaps because of her parents’ passing, Xiong Jin’er became even more dependent on Lu Zheng, her only remaining family, and at this moment, she was actually worried about Lu Zheng’s safety.

Lu Zheng gently comforted her:

“Don’t worry, no matter what tier it is, as long as we can breach its defense, it will surely die today.”

This was not his arrogance, but his confidence in the Spatial Barrier.

If a mere Tier 3 monster could break the Spatial Barrier, then Lu Zheng felt that this world could be destroyed.

No one would survive.

The ground vibrated, and a hideous maggot-like worm emerged from underground.

Its entire body was greenish-brown, segmented like a fat earthworm, and its mouthparts were circles of varying sizes with barbed teeth.

As soon as it appeared, it opened its mouth, seemingly about to emit sound waves.

But Lu Zheng’s Spatial Shackles had already activated instantly.

Spatial threads formed triangles, wedging into the Sonic Worm’s annular indentations.

No matter how the Sonic Worm struggled, it could not break free.

Lu Zheng took out three assault rifles, giving one each to Xiong Jin’er and Zhang Ningzhu. The three of them aimed at the Sonic Worm’s head and opened fire!

Initially, they only heard the sound of bullets penetrating flesh, but no visible wounds. However, as the three emptied the magazines of their three guns, a large pool of brownish liquid had already formed on the Sonic Worm’s head.

The defense had been breached.

Next was to enlarge the wound.

After emptying the magazines of the three guns again, they directly shattered the Devouring Worm’s head.

And it wasn’t over yet.

Lu Zheng controlled over twenty Scythe Mantiss to rush forward, cutting its body and simultaneously searching for the crystals inside.

A blood-red crystal was delivered into Lu Zheng’s hand.

After sensing the rich energy within it, he finally confirmed that the worm before him was completely dead.

With a raise of his hand, he removed the spatial threads.

The Sonic Worm’s massive corpse crashed down, quickly sliding into the pit and disappearing from sight.

This pit definitely did not lead underground.

For anyone, falling into it would surely mean death.

Xiong Jin’er once again threw herself into Lu Zheng’s arms. Her normally tall figure now appeared so small and pathetic.

“Let’s go, we’re going home.”

Witnessing Xiong Jin’er’s grief at losing her family, Zhang Ningzhu also couldn’t help but feel worried.

She still didn’t know the current situation of her own family. If they encountered bad people or worms, their chances were probably slim.

But she also knew that worrying now was useless.

She needed to leverage Lu Zheng’s power and resources to become stronger as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, even if she set out early, she might die on the way or be delayed for a long time.

Returning from the South District, since there was no need to rush, Lu Zheng collected another batch of Scythe Mantiss along the way, directly expanding the number of Scythe Mantiss to one hundred and fifty.

They killed twelve Double-Tailed Scorpions.

No second Sonic Worm was found; Tier 3 worms were clearly still uncommon at this time.

One hundred and fifty Scythe Mantiss, with ten in each squad, forming fifteen squads, were enough to tightly protect the entire area around Canglan University, preventing other worms from approaching.

Before evening, they returned to Canglan University.

Wang Hai and the others were also brought along.

The ability to attract so many Scythe Mantiss along the way was also thanks to these people gathering together, acting as bait.

Lu Zheng had now confirmed one thing.

If humans gathered in the black fog, their aura would be amplified, causing worms from further away to sense it and converge on a specific location.

This was a good thing.

Lu Zheng only needed to arrange for a group of people to regularly stay in the black fog to systematically expand the Scythe Mantis team, and simultaneously kill more Double-Tailed Scorpions to obtain Tier 2 crystals.

Tier 2 crystals were still effective for improving his ability level.

According to his estimation, he would need about fifty Tier 2 crystals to advance to Tier 3.

This was his goal for tomorrow!
