Chapter 134 Lu Xingfeng Arrives in the Modern World
At Zhuiyingjian, on the riverbank.
From the moment Lu Xingfeng discovered the figure had vanished into thin air during the day, he had been kneeling and begging.
This was his only lifeline.
Even though his body was already extremely weak, he relied on his last bit of faith to kneel from daytime until midnight.
Just as he was exhausted to the limit and was about to faint, he suddenly saw a fluorescent vortex appear in front of him.
"A deity...a deity has appeared?!"
Lu Xingfeng's spirits lifted, and he stared wide-eyed at the scene emerging from the fluorescent vortex.
There's light... and there's a person!
"God! Save me!"
Seeing that the vortex seemed about to disappear again, Lu Xingfeng shouted and struggled to his feet, rushing towards the fluorescent vortex.
In the blink of an eye, he found himself in a place he had never seen before.
"You...who are you?!" Ning Hai stared in shock at the one-armed man who staggered out of the fluorescent vortex.
"Gods! Gods! You have finally heard my prayers!" Lu Xingfeng knelt on the ground, hugging Ning Hai's legs and weeping bitterly. "My name is Lu Xingfeng. I was the senior disciple of a sect in Yuqi Mountain, but I was framed by villains and seriously injured, trapped in a desperate situation!"
Ning Hai's mind went blank for several seconds before he came to his senses.
A commoner?
Sect?
And the emphasis in his speech...
Looking at the tattered clothes on this guy, you can still barely tell that the fabric and style are different from modern people's clothes.
"You came from over there?" Ning Hai pointed to the fluorescent vortex that was rapidly disappearing.
Lu Xingfeng looked back and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Gods above, this humble subject would never dare to deceive you! Please, Gods, save me!"
After saying this, he looked up at the deity in front of him with excitement.
The deity was wearing strange clothes he had never seen before, and a strange helmet that covered his face. Coupled with the bizarre scenery he had never seen before, he concluded that he had come to the world of the gods!
Ning Hai felt a chill run down his spine. He never expected that he would witness time travel right here!
Without a doubt, it was that black spherical machine that did it!
Boom!
A dull thud came from above.
The surrounding walls suddenly sank down, and dense cracks began to appear.
"Oh no... this place is going to collapse too!" Ning Hai quickly came to his senses and was about to rush into the fluorescent vortex.
It's impossible to escape from here, hundreds of meters underground, by the same route.
Forget everything else, saving my life is the most important thing!
"God!" Lu Xingfeng clung tightly to Ning Hai's leg. "Please heal my injury and let my arm grow back!"
Because of his delay, the black ball on the experimental table stopped spinning.
The fluorescent vortex also disappeared completely.
"You son of a bitch!" Ning Hai slapped Lu Xingfeng on the head in anger, cursing, "God my ass! I'm not a god! You're going to kill me!"
"You...you're not a god?" Lu Xingfeng asked incredulously. "But you clearly told me to leave Fallen Eagle Gorge, and this place..."
Ning Hai had no intention of arguing with him anymore, and turned to rush towards the only exit in the basement.
boom……
Suddenly, the outside collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, a pile of rubble completely blocked the circular doorway.
"It's over...it's over, it's over..." Ning Hai stood there stunned for a few seconds, then collapsed to the ground. "I'm doomed...I'm doomed!"
This secret laboratory, located deep within the Kurtenberg Nuclear Power Plant, must be the most secure; otherwise, how could it have survived the massive explosion decades ago and remained so well-preserved?
However, judging from the tremors outside, even if this place doesn't completely collapse, the outside is definitely blocked off.
Ning Hai was completely plunged into despair, his eyes vacant as he stared at the increasingly obvious cracks in the wall.
In contrast, Lu Xingfeng, who was completely unaware of what had happened, quickly calmed down.
He initially didn't believe Ning Hai's claim that he wasn't a deity.
Looking at it now...
Why would a deity be so panicked? Why would a deity be afraid of death?
He calmed himself down and stopped paying attention to Ning Hai.
Once he calmed down, he noticed the pervasive nuclear radiation energy around him. "Hmm? Where am I? How can there be such a dense concentration of spiritual energy?!"
Without a second thought, he immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb his internal energy.
In the past, martial arts practitioners would try every means to find rare and precious materials containing spiritual energy in order to improve their internal strength. People in the martial arts world would fight tooth and nail for those treasures.
Even as the senior disciple of the Tian Shu Sect, obtaining the treasure was not an easy task for him.
According to his estimation, the spiritual energy currently circulating around him is far more abundant than that contained in a pile of luminous pearls.
"Hehe... Hahaha!"
As Lu Xingfeng absorbed spiritual energy and transformed it into internal force, he laughed out loud, "Sect Leader Ye, Sect Leader Ye, you've been living your life guarding those few luminous pearls! Now, with the help of Heaven, I've come to such a place abundant in spiritual energy! I will surely become an unparalleled master!"
Ning Hai, slumped not far away, stared at the strange man whose behavior was bizarre and whose speech was inexplicable. He rubbed his forehead and muttered in despair, "God... am I going to die with this lunatic?"
Soon, Lu Xingfeng absorbed all the spiritual energy in the basement, and he became much more energetic, his eyes shining brightly.
"May I ask your name, sir?" He stood up and walked up to Ning Hai.
Ninghai was surrounded by despair and had no mind to pay attention.
Lu Xingfeng then said, "This place is rich in spiritual energy, so why don't you know any martial arts? Isn't that a waste of this spiritual energy?"
"Shut the hell up!" Ning Hai roared angrily, annoyed to no end. "Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet before I die?"
Lu Xingfeng frowned, about to say something, when he suddenly sensed spiritual energy entering the exit that had been blocked by the stones.
It seems that the spiritual energy outside is more abundant.
So he channeled his internal energy and struck the stone with his palm.
boom!
Amidst the rising dust, the exit was opened by his palm strike from a distance.
Ning Hai was dumbfounded. "You... how did you do that?!"
Lu Xingfeng ignored him and bent over to crawl out.
Ning Hai was stunned for a few seconds, then scrambled to catch up.
Once outside the underground laboratory, Lu Xingfeng asked in confusion, "Where is this? Why is it still pitch black?"
“This is still the basement,” Ning Hai said behind him. “We are hundreds of meters below the ground. If we don’t leave soon, it will collapse.”
Just as Ning Hai finished speaking, a large chunk of reinforced concrete fell from above and landed right next to the two of them.
"Do you know how to get out?" Lu Xingfeng asked.
Ning Hai immediately said, "I have a map with me. If we move quickly, we might be able to escape before the entire structure collapses!"
Lu Xingfeng thought to himself that this strange person had no martial arts skills and posed no threat to him. Moreover, he needed to rely on him to figure out where he was. So he nodded and said, "Okay, you show me the way and I'll take you away."
——
It was 2 a.m. local time.
When the mercenary squad escaped to the ground, the rare, large thunderstorm had stopped, and torrential rain was pouring down from the night sky.
Without even taking a breather, the group quickly moved to a sturdy high ground.
The mercenary captain fired a flare forward.
Under the illumination of a beam of light, it could be seen that many places nearby were still collapsing, and the surrounding scenery was no longer the same as when they first arrived.
“We need to get out of here as soon as possible,” the mercenary captain said as he searched for directions.
"Damn it," one of the team members cursed, "We didn't complete the mission, so we won't get our commission."
The mercenary captain offered a comforting remark, "At least we're all still alive."
Another team member looked at the hole they had just crawled out of. "Are we really not going to care about Mr. Ning? How are we going to explain this to Professor Bruce?"
The mercenary captain shrugged. "We were all blessed by God to climb out before the collapse below. Now... that route is definitely destroyed. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't. We'll just explain the situation to Professor Bruce."
The mercenary team completely abandoned any plan to rescue Ninghai.
I rested there for a few minutes, and then prepared to leave.
Just as the group took their first steps—
boom!
A muffled thud came from the ground.
A pile of rubble suddenly flew out from the spot where they had just crawled out.
Immediately afterwards, a figure flew out of the hole, soaring to a height of two or three meters before landing steadily on the ground.
The mercenary squad was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly raised their guns and pointed them at the figure.
"Don't...don't shoot!" Ning Hai's voice rang out immediately.
The group was taken aback again, and quickly shone their lights over.
Ning Hai struggled to peek out of the hole, stretching out one hand and saying, "Don't fucking stand there, come and help me, I think my foot is stuck!"
"Mr. Ning? You're still alive?" The mercenary captain was surprised and immediately took a team member to help.
The other mercenaries remained on guard against the figure that had just appeared.
With the help of two mercenaries, Ning Hai was pulled out of the cave, still tightly clutching the black ball in the underground laboratory with one hand.
"Finally... finally out..." Ning Hai gasped for breath, a layer of white mist rising from his mask.
If it weren't for the need to protect against nuclear radiation, he would have loved to take off his helmet and cheer loudly.
Needless to say, he was incredibly excited to have survived such a close call. What was even more exciting was that he not only witnessed the opening of the portal, but also brought along a person who had walked out of it, and he also brought along the key machine that could open the portal.
"Here you go, take it." Ning Hai handed the black ball to the mercenary captain. "This thing is too heavy for me to carry. Don't lose it, or you won't get your commission."
The mercenary captain smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Ning."
Ning Hai limped over to the mercenaries, pushed them aside, and said, "Alright, alright, put down your guns."
“Mr. Ning,” a mercenary said nervously, “he seems to be able to fly… Is he even human?”
“Of course it’s a person!” Ning Hai said. “I met him down there, and we’ll take him with us.”
The mercenary captain asked in confusion, "Could it be that he's been hiding inside the nuclear power plant, exposed to a lot of nuclear radiation, and mutated as a result?"
Ning Hai laughed, "Hahaha! What kind of transformation is that? That's called martial arts, kung fu, understand?"
The mercenaries were completely confused, but Ning Hai didn't have time to explain further to them.
“Your name is Lu Xingfeng, right?” Ning Hai walked up to Lu Xingfeng. “These people are my companions. Don’t cause any trouble. Just come with us.”
Lu Xingfeng shook his head. "I want to stay here."
Ning Hai said, "Are you crazy? Staying in this godforsaken place! This is a forbidden zone for humans!"
"A forbidden zone for humans?" Lu Xingfeng frowned. "This place is clearly full of spiritual energy, which is helpful for cultivating internal energy. How can it be a forbidden zone?"
Ning Hai finally realized that the spiritual energy this guy kept talking about was probably referring to nuclear radiation.
Unexpectedly, this guy who came out of the portal was not only unaffected by nuclear radiation, but could even use it to practice his skills.
There is so much to study about him.
We must take it with us!
But considering that he did indeed possess martial arts skills like those in the movies, it wasn't good to force him. So, Ning Hai coaxed him gently, "There are more places with spiritual energy than just here. I can give you even more spiritual energy. You can have as much as you want!"
"Is this really true?!" Lu Xingfeng was shocked.
Ning Hai confidently declared, "Absolutely no exaggeration! It's just nuclear radiation energy. I'll take you to the nuclear test site and let you inhale it to your heart's content."
"Nuclear radiation...energy?" Lu Xingfeng repeated the question blankly.
Ning Hai put his arm around his shoulder. "Brother, I've figured it out. You must be from ancient times. Judging from your appearance and what you say, you're most likely of the same race as me. I won't lie to you. Besides, don't you want to know what kind of world this is?"
"Hmm... I feel a special affinity with you." Lu Xingfeng nodded thoughtfully.
Ning Hai continued, "If you stay here by yourself, what's the difference between you and a savage? After I take you out, I'll heal all your injuries and illnesses, and then I'll give you good food, drink, and clothes. You'll definitely thank me then."
"Oh right, let me give you something to eat first, otherwise you still won't believe me."
After Ning Hai finished speaking, he took some chocolates that the mercenaries carried with them, unwrapped them, and handed them to Lu Xingfeng.
Lu Xingfeng was initially wary, but upon smelling the chocolate, he couldn't resist taking a big bite.
The next second, a look of shock appeared on his face. "What is this? It smells so sweet and delicious!"
"Do you like it?" Ning Hai said. "Let me tell you, this stuff is only used by mercenaries to replenish their energy when they are on a mission. It's pretty hard to eat for the average person. I can take you to eat something sweeter and more delicious than this."
Lu Xingfeng smacked his lips, still savoring the moment, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Ning."
Ning Hai waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's leave before dawn! Then we'll all go back to the US!"
A long night has passed.
The experts rescued by Ning Jinli from the ruins of the Kutcherberg nuclear power plant have been properly settled, and the rescue team members have also reported the situation to Shangguan Ying.
Given how bizarre the situation was, Shangguan Ying classified the entire process as highly confidential, strictly forbidding the experts and rescue team members from disclosing it to outsiders.
After obtaining Shangguan Ying's consent, Ning Jinli decided to bring her parents over.
She's already successfully teleported living people, so it's time to let Mom and Dad return to this world.
