202: Chapter 202 Forcing the Bear King to Retreat
Chang Yingwei shouted angrily, holding a hydrogen bomb in one hand. Although the hydrogen bomb only retained its most critical components, it still weighed several tons; however, with Chang Yingwei's strength, he was still capable of doing it.
Upon hearing Chang Yingwei's words, Song Yongnian cursed inwardly. The Bear King behind him was getting closer and closer, leaving him no time to think. His only hope for survival at this point was to return to Jianghai City.
Whether it was that member of the Twelve Generals of the Heavenly Palace or that person from his Holy Spirit Sect, both could stop the Tier 4 Bear King.
But Chang Yingwei was blocking his path. This was a ruthless man—a ruthless man holding a hydrogen bomb! If he really took action to stop him or activated this hydrogen bomb, it seemed like he would have no way to survive.
"Fine, I'll leave!"
Song Yongnian had made up his mind. He casually threw the unconscious Lu Zheng toward Chang Yingwei, and as Lu Zheng traced a graceful arc through the air, he fled wildly in the other direction.
Lu Zheng would only drag him down. If he could survive, he would return, and that would be the time for Jianghai City's destruction.
The Seed of the Holy Spirit within his body burned frantically, exchanging for immense power, which caused Song Yongnian's speed to increase significantly once more. This was a critical moment of life and death; holding back no longer had any meaning.
At this moment, Chang Yingwei, holding the hydrogen bomb, realized that Song Yongnian had still been clutching someone. He hadn't noticed just now. He hurriedly used his other hand to catch the figure that had been thrown over. At this moment, Chang Yingwei was holding the hydrogen bomb in one hand and Lu Zheng in the other.
Many years later, whenever Chang Yingwei recalled this scene, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion that back then, he had held the hydrogen bomb in one hand to protect Jianghai City, while his other hand held Lu Zheng, protecting the entire world.
"Lu Zheng?!" Upon seeing the figure, Chang Yingwei's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief. "Damn it!" "How could it be Lu Zheng?!"
He couldn't help but swear again. This was simply inconceivable. How could Lu Zheng be in the hands of those cultists? What on earth was going on? Wasn't Lu Zheng in Jianghai City, by the side of that Dreamer, Senior Brother Li Hongyi? What on earth had happened in this short amount of time? Was there anything else he didn't know? Being the City Lord of Jianghai City was so frustrating.
The shock of Lu Zheng appearing before him now was just like if you had just told your wife at home that you were going out to hang out with friends, then went to a foot massage parlor alone, ordered a female technician, and discovered that the female technician who walked through the door was your own wife. That kind of shock was exactly what Chang Yingwei was feeling right now.
Chang Yingwei also noticed that Lu Zheng was currently unconscious, which immediately gave him a headache. Why was everything related to Lu Zheng? But now was not the time for him to worry about that. At this moment, that Tier 4 Beast King had already appeared before him. That hundred-meter-tall figure was terrifying, like a demon god, while Chang Yingwei was like a slightly larger ant.
"My Jianghai City has nothing to do with this matter." "That person fled in the other direction." Chang Yingwei placed Lu Zheng behind him, then held the hydrogen bomb in one hand and spoke slowly. At this moment, he was prepared to detonate the hydrogen bomb at any time.
"My Jianghai City will not interfere in your affairs, but if you, Bear King, insist on this, then you will just have to embrace this hydrogen bomb with me." As Chang Yingwei spoke, he even held the hydrogen bomb against his chest and advanced toward the Bear King.
The Bear King naturally noticed the iron-rod-like object in Chang Yingwei's hand. He could feel that this thing contained an extreme sense of mortal danger. At such close range, it could kill him. Subconsciously, he retreated several hundred meters.
"Chang Yingwei, one day I will set foot in Jianghai City." "If you have the guts, just keep carrying that thing and wait here." The Bear King roared, and immediately chased in the direction where Song Yongnian had fled. His target was that human, not Jianghai City for the time being. And what threatened him was not just that metal contraption, but also that person from the Heavenly Palace who hadn't shown their face.
Watching the Bear King leave, Chang Yingwei breathed a sigh of relief. His hand loosened, and the hydrogen bomb he had been holding smashed toward the ground. "Oh no!" Chang Yingwei cursed inwardly. "Bang!" "Click..." The hydrogen bomb hit the ground, making a dull thud, and a slight clicking sound came from inside. Chang Yingwei froze in place. Moving wasn't right, and staying still wasn't right either. His luck shouldn't be that bad, right?
A moment later, the hydrogen bomb did not explode. Only then did Chang Yingwei stand the hydrogen bomb on the ground and mutter, "I'll just guard this place." "As long as you dare to come in, I dare to detonate it."
Chang Yingwei also knew that he had thought of this all too optimistically. Successfully holding off that Bear King this time was just a coincidence. If he really wanted to attack Jianghai City, he could completely take advantage of the moment he didn't react and attack from another direction.
"But Lu Zheng, what on earth is going on with you?" "How could you be in the hands of that cultist?" Looking at the unconscious Lu Zheng, Chang Yingwei voiced his confusion once again. Unfortunately, Lu Zheng and his Clone were in the middle of leveling up. Although he could perceive what was happening in the outside world, he could not wake up and could not answer his question.
Chang Yingwei just sat on the ground, guarding the hydrogen bomb on his left and Lu Zheng on his right. He had no image of a City Lord at all, but the mere existence of the hydrogen bomb was enough to make countless people tremble with fear.
The hydrogen bomb was a good thing, but its usage limitations were too great. It couldn't be used inside the city; before the Evolved Beast could attack the city, his own people would have destroyed the city first.
Not long after, everyone who realized that the Bear King had left walked out of the base and arrived by Chang Yingwei's side. "City Lord, please accept our bow." Everyone bowed deeply to Chang Yingwei, and Chang Yingwei just waved his hand slowly.
"If you want to thank me, you'd be better off finding a way to get me another hydrogen bomb." "The Bear King has been temporarily forced back, but there will be a next time." "I'm worried that one won't be enough to kill it, so I'm preparing to get another one."
Everyone looked at the somewhat excited City Lord, unable to suppress the chill in their hearts. The City Lord wasn't getting addicted to playing with hydrogen bombs, was he? However, they didn't continue on this topic for long. Chang Yingwei handed the unconscious Lu Zheng to the Deputy City Lord.
"Take him back." "Take good care of him. If there are any abnormalities, report to me immediately. All affairs of Jianghai City will be temporarily handled by you." "Yes, City Lord." "Then City Lord, what about you?"
"I will stay here with the hydrogen bomb. When I feel I can go back, I will naturally go back." In ancient times, there was the Emperor guarding the national gate; now, there is him, Chang Yingwei, guarding the city with a hydrogen bomb in hand.
"Yes, City Lord!" Everyone was speechless. They took Lu Zheng back into the base, and the crisis in Jianghai City was temporarily resolved. However, when everyone came out of the air-raid shelter, they discovered that their neighbors or colleagues had suddenly disappeared. If someone were to investigate, after this incident, the number of missing people reached several thousand.
