256: Chapter 256 Gong Zhizhuan Awakens!

The Jianghai City convoy had no intention of returning; the radiation from the nuclear explosion made it impossible for ordinary people to approach, and Chang Yingwei had already ordered the convoy to stop.

Everyone got off the vehicles one after another.

A million people stood silently in the wilderness, looking in the direction of Jianghai City.

"Just now... you all saw that scene."

"General Lu lured the Beast King away to battle in Jianghai City."

"In order to hold back that Beast King, he resolutely detonated the nuclear bomb."

"To be honest, I do not know if General Lu is alive or dead now, but we must never forget all of this."

"Remember the name of Lu Zheng!"

Chang Yingwei roared, and everyone looked toward Jianghai City, bowing deeply.

They silently recited that name in their hearts.

It did not calm down for a long time.

"My dear lady, your son is the benefactor of everyone in Jianghai City!"

"On behalf of Jianghai City, I want to say to you: I am sorry."

Chang Yingwei looked at the woman being supported by others, his eyes filled with unbearable pity. The woman's eyes were red, and tears were still visible.

It was Lu Zheng's mother.

"My son..."

Lu Zheng's sister, Lu Wen, was the same; she could not accept the fact that her younger brother had sacrificed himself. Her brother was so powerful, how could he die...

As the relatives Lu Zheng left behind in this world, his mother and sister would be treated with the highest etiquette by the Government for the rest of their lives, not for any other reason, but because of the name Lu Zheng.

But his mother and sister did not want anything now; they only wanted their son and their brother to return.

"We cannot let General Lu's efforts go to waste."

"Everyone get on the vehicles and evacuate at full speed!!!"

Chang Yingwei's order was executed again, and the convoy started moving toward the destination.

"Remember, I want you to treat the mother and daughter with the same attitude you had toward General Lu."

"No matter what requests they have, you must fulfill them at any cost."

"Right now, their importance is even greater than your own lives!"

"Did you all hear me?"

Chang Yingwei said this to the Evolvers of Jianghai City, both big and small, and everyone nodded vigorously. Even if the City Lord did not say it, they would have done so anyway.

"Yes, City Lord!"

Chang Yingwei nodded, signaling the crowd.

"The safety of the journey ahead depends on all of you."

Everyone nodded, but immediately looked at the City Lord with confusion. Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe hurriedly asked.

"City Lord, what about you?"

"Me?"

Chang Yingwei looked in the direction of Jianghai City.

"Even if there is only a glimmer of possibility, I am willing to believe that General Lu is still alive."

"Now is exactly when I am needed."

"I must go save him."

Chang Yingwei said calmly, and everyone remained silent. Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe hesitated slightly: "City Lord, then... if General Lu... if he has sacrificed himself..."

"If he has sacrificed himself... then I should go even more..."

"I cannot watch helplessly as General Lu stays there all alone."

"Fallen leaves return to their roots; I want to bring him home."

"Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe, everything regarding the convoy from now on will be temporarily entrusted to you."

After saying this, Chang Yingwei headed straight in the direction of Jianghai City. Deputy Mayor Sun Guanghe opened his mouth, but a sentence remained unsaid.

He also wanted to go.

But someone had to stay here, so he immediately turned around and arranged the original tasks.

"He actually detonated a nuclear bomb."

"The situation has become somewhat complicated."

"I wonder if that person has come out yet."

"However, it should not have any impact on him. It seems I need to speed up."

"I am very curious about the spirit tool that allowed a youth to Breakthrough to Town General in such a short time."

A person walking in the wilderness saw the light cluster that suddenly appeared on the horizon, along with the news he had just received, and muttered to himself. He then continued to move forward in that direction, his speed extremely fast, having already reached the level of a Town General.

If there were no accidents, at this speed, it was estimated that he would arrive at Jianghai City before long.

The Holy Spirit Sect Archbishop personally set out and appeared!

Jianghai City became the target of all; this was a scene Lu Zheng had not expected—that he actually possessed such great appeal.

But if they saw the current situation of Jianghai City, perhaps they would not think that way at all.

Jianghai City had not been affected by the nuclear explosion at all.

That blinding light cluster and the aftermath were merely leaking out from the spatial rift created by the spirit tool, the time tower.

When that time comes, everyone will know.

Jianghai City never detonated a nuclear bomb, nor was there any so-called great battle.

But it is a pity that this obvious truth, up to this point, is known by no one except Lu Zheng.

The Clone had been guarding Jianghai City.

It also saw the blinding light cluster.

But the Clone never thought that the spirit tool, the time tower, would break through a spatial rift and rush out directly; even the main body, Lu Zheng, had not thought of this.

Therefore, the Clone did not notice that the spirit tool, the time tower, had been impacted by the nuclear bomb's shockwave to that location.

And Lu Zheng was currently inside that spirit tool, the time tower.

It seemed that because the time tower wasted quite a bit of power breaking through space, Lu Zheng had not appeared yet, and there might be other reasons for this.

And the Clone did not know any of this for the time being.

Previously, Lu Zheng had only instructed the Clone to stay here and guard; without Lu Zheng's orders for what to do next, it was a bit lost for a moment.

What to do next?

Also, where did the main body go?

The Clone looked around blankly, wanting to find the main body, but returned empty-handed.

The black body that fell from that Mysterious Space was currently lying quietly in Jianghai City.

Life or death unknown.

But suddenly, the fingers of the body, which had almost turned into charcoal, moved slightly.

Immediately after, the calm chest rose and fell slowly.

Although it was very weak, it was real.

Following that, it took a deep breath.

Suddenly, on the charcoal-like face, a pair of eyes opened abruptly.

The eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness!!!

It was unbelievable; five nuclear bombs detonated simultaneously at close range, yet they had not killed Gong Zhizhuan.

It could be described as terrifying to the extreme.

"You... how did you dare to do this."

"Lu Zheng... even if I die, I will not let you go..."

"This hatred is irreconcilable!"

Gong Zhizhuan roared angrily, but just speaking alone used up almost all of his strength.

The explosion attack just now had come too suddenly.

So much so that Gong Zhizhuan's current state was extremely poor, having lost 99% of his combat power.

Suddenly, Gong Zhizhuan curled his lips and murmured with a smile.

"Lu Zheng, you didn't expect this, did you?"

"I actually survived... you just wait, one day I will find you again..."
