216: Chapter 216 Meeting the City Lord, the Man Who Hand-Crafts a Hydrogen Bomb

Soon, Lu Zheng followed Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe toward Jianghai City.

Lu Zheng had previously been in a coma; although he knew some things, he was unaware of others, so he was not clear about the scene where City Lord Chang Yingwei held a hydrogen bomb to block the Bear King of the Great Mountain.

"City Lord Sun, is the City Lord at the base?"

"No."

"But you will be able to see him very soon."

Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe said. The two of them headed outside Jianghai City at an extremely fast speed, though for Lu Zheng, Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe's speed was about the same as walking.

With no other choice, Lu Zheng simply picked up Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe.

The lifted Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe actually showed a trace of bashfulness on his face. At his age, he had never been carried by someone before, but this bashfulness quickly turned into panic.

"Too fast, too fast."

"Slow down, slow down, I can't handle it."

Immediately after, amidst Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe's exclamations, the two arrived outside Jianghai City, which was where City Lord Chang Yingwei was located.

It was already late at night, and there was no light outside Jianghai City.

However, both of them were capable of night vision. Lu Zheng saw City Lord Chang Yingwei's figure from afar; at this moment, City Lord Chang Yingwei was sitting on the ground, seemingly resting.

What caught Lu Zheng's attention was a massive, four-to-five-meter-long iron rod standing beside him.

When he walked closer, Lu Zheng realized that this was not an iron rod at all, but a hydrogen bomb.

In an instant, Lu Zheng realized what City Lord Chang Yingwei was doing here.

"Two days ago, the Bear King deep in the Great Mountain achieved a Fourth Realm Breakthrough."

"It even approached Jianghai City at one point."

"The City Lord had no choice but to sit here with a hydrogen bomb to prevent the Bear King from stepping into Jianghai City."

"It can be said that the City Lord and this hydrogen bomb are the first and last line of defense for our Jianghai City."

Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe said slowly from the side. Seeing this scene, he felt a mix of emotions. If even the City Lord was like this, then he had to reassure the City Lord and ensure that Jianghai City did not fall into chaos.

"Lu Zheng, you're here."

At this moment, City Lord Chang Yingwei opened his eyes. Seeing the young man appear before him, it would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked.

The last time he saw Lu Zheng, he was still in a coma, but this time, he already knew about Lu Zheng's strength from Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe's phone call.

It could be said that every time he saw Lu Zheng, his strength gave him a huge shock.

"Since you have come to see me, you must have already rescued the people."

"I didn't expect that my Jianghai City would have a Genius like you."

"It is fortunate that my Jianghai City has you!"

City Lord Chang Yingwei sighed with emotion. He had learned about the events in Jianghai City from Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe, and upon seeing the two, he felt a sense of relief.

"This should have been my duty as City Lord; I didn't expect it to fall on your shoulders in the end. Come to think of it, I feel a bit apologetic."

Hearing this, Lu Zheng hurriedly said.

"City Lord, may I ask who else would dare to hold a hydrogen bomb and guard Jianghai City alone, blocking the Fourth Realm Bear King here, and not letting it step into our Jianghai City?"

"Only you."

"I only saved some people, but you saved the entire Jianghai City, millions of people."

Lu Zheng was not exaggerating. If it weren't for City Lord Chang Yingwei threatening with his life and sitting here with a hydrogen bomb, perhaps Jianghai City would not have held out until he woke up.

"These are all things I should do."

"I am a person whose strength is not enough; I only have this one life to risk."

City Lord Chang Yingwei said, but then he looked at Lu Zheng and Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe again.

"You came here, surely not just to see me, right?"

"What exactly has happened again?"

City Lord Chang Yingwei's expression was grave.

Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe immediately told him what Lu Zheng had shared.

After listening, City Lord Chang Yingwei frowned even more deeply.

"You mean to say that the rumored The Great Tomb is actually a Mysterious Space, and within that space, there exists an ancient person left over from the previous era?"

"Yes, and that person's strength is extremely powerful. If a person who just achieved a Fourth Realm Breakthrough has a combat power of only one thousand, then this person's combat power is around two thousand, and there is a possibility that their strength will recover."

"Not only that, but there are over three thousand monsters in that space, and each monster's strength is around the Second Realm."

"Once that space shatters, the creatures inside will descend, and at that time, Jianghai City will suffer a catastrophe."

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, City Lord Chang Yingwei fell silent.

"The monsters are easy enough to handle."

"But once that person walks out, it is estimated that only Master Long would be able to suppress them."

"He is a person from an evil sect of the previous era. No one can guarantee what he will do after he walks out. If he were to join forces with the current Holy Spirit Sect, it would be a great disaster for our Huaxia."

"By the way, Lu Zheng, do you think that person could withstand a hydrogen bomb?"

City Lord Chang Yingwei suddenly asked.

"If we send someone to drop a hydrogen bomb into that space, could we kill him?"

"If one is not enough, then two, or three."

Upon hearing City Lord Chang Yingwei's words, Lu Zheng said.

"We can try, but I cannot be certain."

Lu Zheng was also somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of expression that person would have when encountering modern high technology.

City Lord Chang Yingwei was deep in thought.

"If there really is no other way, there is only one path to take."

"Relocate the city."

"Abandon Jianghai City, and everyone will go to other cities."

City Lord Chang Yingwei said, then looked at Lu Zheng.

"Can you tell me which Realm you have reached?"

Facing the City Lord's inquiry, Lu Zheng did not hide anything at all.

"I am only one step away from the Fourth Realm."

Hearing this, the shock in City Lord Chang Yingwei's heart was no less than that of the others just now, but City Lord Chang Yingwei thought more deeply, and immediately said.

"And how long will you need for this final step?"

"If there are conditions, at the shortest three or four days, at the longest five or six days."

"What!"

"How is that possible!"

After hearing Lu Zheng's words, Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe and City Lord Chang Yingwei were shocked and let out exclamations. Their minds were completely blank; since when did this Fourth Realm become so easy to achieve?

It hasn't even been a month!

"Lu Zheng, are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, it is."

Lu Zheng nodded. City Lord Chang Yingwei took a deep breath and looked at the hydrogen bomb beside him; it seemed this hydrogen bomb might have a chance to be put back in the warehouse for a while longer.

"What conditions?"

"As long as you say it, my Jianghai City will do its best to satisfy you."

Seeing their urgent gazes, Lu Zheng opened his mouth.

"Spirit Stones!"
