Chapter 111 Returning Home
Zhou Cheng couldn't figure out this problem no matter how hard he tried.
Because no matter from which perspective, the first target of the Ascending Faction and the Moon God should be themselves, and those decision makers are in a secondary position.
If it weren't for me, how could human civilization have advanced the investigation of this catastrophe to this point? How could I have exploited a tiny flaw in the information sent by the Ascending Sect to capture an Ascending Sect member for the first time in history, and then launched a large-scale attack, forcing the Ascending Sect to deter human civilization by precisely beheading the decision-makers?
It was because of me that the situation had become almost impossible to handle.
But they let themselves go and killed the decision makers.
This is unreasonable.
Next to Zhou Cheng, Wei Ning, the young man who used to be full of confidence, was silent.
It seemed that the deaths of many previous decision makers had dealt him a huge blow.
After a long pause, he shook his head. "Don't ask me questions like that. I only know that if the Dimension Ascenders want to deal with you, I can't protect you. But if it's not the Dimension Ascenders who are dealing with you, but wild beasts, criminals, or something like that, Zhou Cheng, don't worry."
He gritted his teeth, his face almost twisted. "If one comes, I'll kill one. If a hundred come, I'll kill a hundred. As long as I'm alive, no one can threaten you."
Zhou Cheng sighed softly.
It seems that Wei Ning has been a little sensitive recently. My questions seem to have touched upon something he doesn't want to mention, so I shouldn't have asked him.
The two cars moved forward in silence, traveling by day and resting by night. After repeating this for several days, the cars stopped in front of the familiar gate of the Dali County settlement.
Militia captain Uncle Sun stuck his head out and saw that it was Zhou Cheng, and immediately opened the door.
After stopping the car, Zhou Cheng greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Sun."
Uncle Sun patted Zhou Cheng on the shoulder and sighed: "Your parents are over there in the wheat field."
"good."
The group walked towards the wheat field. Uncle Sun followed them for a few steps and couldn't help but say, "Your parents were killed by those traitors from the Shengwei Sect. They are actually good people.
I grew up with them, how could I not know? This is all the sins done by the Ascending Dimension Sect, ah, they are harming people."
Zhou Cheng nodded silently: "Yes, I know, my parents are good people, it was the Ascension Sect who harmed them."
Arriving at the pear grove next to the wheat field, Zhou Cheng saw two graves standing side by side. On each gravestone was a line of inscription.
Tomb of Zhou Dahu/Liu Lijuan.
Looking at the pear tree next to the grave, Zhou Cheng saw pears already growing on it. It looked like it was growing well and would probably grow quite large.
Zhou Cheng's mind suddenly recalled the scene of playing in the pear orchard when he was a child under the guidance of his parents. His nose felt sore and he knelt heavily in front of the two graves.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you. Don't worry, I will avenge you."
After kneeling in front of the grave for a long time, Zhou Cheng turned around and looked at Liu Yu, Wei Ning, and Wei Ning's teammates. He said hoarsely, "Liu Yu, take Wei Ning and the others to rest. Don't worry about me. I want to stay with my parents tonight."
Liu Yu was a little worried, but nodded. Wei Ning said stubbornly, "No, I have to ensure your safety."
"Don't worry, it's okay. If the Ascending Sect wanted to kill me, they would have done it long ago. If the Ascending Sect doesn't kill me, no one in this settlement will kill me either."
Wei Ning still said stubbornly: "No."
After thinking about it, he compromised: "My teammates can go and rest, I have to stay here. Don't worry, I won't disturb you, I..."
He looked around and came to a place about ten meters away: "I'm here."
"Okay."
Liu Yu went to arrange for Wei Ning's teammates, while Zhou Cheng stayed here.
He sat quietly on the ground, gently stroking the tombstones of his father and mother, sometimes crying, sometimes reminiscing, and sometimes a little smile appeared on his face as if he recalled some good things with his parents.
A night passed. At dawn the next day, Liu Yu and his group hurried here.
Zhou Cheng, who hadn't slept all night, stood up, took a deep look at his parents' graves, turned around and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back."
Liu Yu asked, "Don't you want to go home and take a look?"
Zhou Cheng paused, then finally shook his head: "No."
As Uncle Sun and the others watched with complicated expressions, the two cars started and gradually disappeared from people's sight.
"Why……"
Uncle Sun shook his head and shouted, "Let's go, let's go. The door is closing. Go back quickly. Be careful of the tigers."
With a heavy creaking sound, the heavy gate of the settlement closed again.
A few days later, Zhou Cheng and Liu Yu, exhausted from their journey, returned to Dajing City. The only difference was that this time, instead of staying in the World Government's dormitory, they returned to their own house in the youth community.
Now that I no longer have to worry about the life threats from the ascending faction, it is of course better to live in my own place.
Looking at the dusty room, Liu Yu felt an inexplicable sense of warmth in his heart.
The little golden monkey that had been entrusted to the care of others but was now brought back was also very excited and kept jumping on the shoulders of the two people.
The next day, Zhou Cheng once again immersed himself in studying the relevant materials regarding the manhunt. When there was no new information, he frequently attended discussions and promotional meetings regarding the operation, doing his utmost to find ways to contribute. It seemed that only by doing so could he find peace of mind.
Time passes by bit by bit.
With the full support of the current top decision-maker and the almost unanimous support of the entire civilization, Zhou Cheng saw that the operation to hunt down the Ascension Faction made continuous progress.
More clues surfaced, and more members of the Ascending Sect were roughly identified. There was even a glimmer of hope for finding the Ascending Sect's base.
Although there is still no key, decisive breakthrough, such as capturing a high-level member of the Ascending Sect, everyone has a vague feeling that if they continue to move forward in this way, this day will not be far away.
At this moment, in a city thousands of kilometers away from Dajing City, a team of operatives frowned, with numerous documents and photos scattered on the table in front of them, and the room was filled with smoke.
This is a meeting to analyze the whereabouts of a certain member of the Ascension Sect.
According to previous intelligence, this person was most likely an important person. However, he disappeared while being pursued by his own forces, and no one knew where he went.
Now, all people need to do is to find him based on the existing intelligence.
After thinking hard for a long time, one of the team members suddenly had a light in his eyes and stood up suddenly: "I know! He——"
Before he could finish his sentence, the excitement on his face was quickly replaced by pain.
He subconsciously covered his chest and fell to the ground weakly.
