Chapter 338 Shen Zhiheng: He Zhuo is here, and you say I'm noisy?
Lu Nange took the megaphone from Gu Qi: "Mu Jin, Mu Cheng, and Mu Shu, we're taking these three people with us."
A slight commotion arose in the crowd...
She continued, "We've come to your base today not only to settle scores with the Mu family, but also to find someone else. Listen carefully, I need you..."
Immediately, someone with quick reflexes responded loudly, afraid of being a step too slow: "Miss Lu! Just say the word! We'll definitely do it!"
"Miss Lu! We guarantee to complete the mission! What are your orders?"
Lu Nange: "Spread the word that we're looking for someone. Reach every survivor you can reach. Tell them—Lu Xici, Lu Nange, Lu Beiye, Wen Qing—we're looking for someone..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xian immediately stepped forward...
Rumble—!
A clay shield suddenly rose from the ground and stood majestically in the center.
Golden light flowed from Luo Xingyou's fingertips.
Several metallic streaks flew across the surface of the earthen shield, etching four names: Lu Xici, Lu Nange, Lu Beiye, and Wen Qing.
Wang Xi: "Ms. Lu... if I may ask, would you mind revealing the specific characteristics of the person you are looking for? Is the person tall or short, male or female? Knowing these characteristics will help us pay closer attention and find them more quickly."
Lu Nange glanced at her, her eyes calm and unwavering, yet carrying a clear boundary: "You don't need to know exactly who it is."
All you need to do is spread the message that 'Lu Xici, Lu Nange, Lu Beiye, and Wen Qing are looking for people' as widely as possible, like sowing seeds.
Furthermore, we made it clear to everyone who heard the news that we were from the Chi family base.
If anyone contacts you, or if you have any information, feel free to come to us. As for the reward—supplies or crystal cores—you can choose... Understand?
Wang Xi, Chuanzi, and all the survivors: "Understood! Don't worry, Miss Lu!"
Lu Nange nodded slightly, said no more, and gently called out, "Zhizhi...Gangzi...come back!"
Gangzi, which had been hovering low with the two "grenade" models in its claws, let out a sharp cry upon hearing the sound, then suddenly swooped down and flew nimbly back towards Lu Nange's direction.
Its movement terrified the survivors watching below, their hearts nearly leaping out of their chests, and they screamed inwardly.
[Oh dear... my ancestor! Please don't let go of my paws!]
[Fly slower! Fly slower! Please! That thing is no joke!]
[If this parrot slips even slightly, we're all doomed!]
At the same time, apart from the few vines tightly wrapped around the three members of the Mu family, all the others that had been scattered outwards quickly retracted and obediently perched on Lu Beiye's shoulder, as if they were merely harmless decorations...
Chi Yanzhou: "Get out of the way."
The crowd quickly dispersed to both sides, creating a wide passage.
Lu Nange and her group stepped forward, their palms flashing with supernatural power...
This silent warning sent chills down the spines of the crowd on both sides, causing them to shrink back in terror once more, their hearts filled with dread.
[Holy crap...they're all high-level ability users! Not a single one of them is weak!]
[These...are at least level four or above!]
[Luckily I didn't act impulsively just now... otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died...]
Kang Qian, the deputy base commander who had just finished arranging the crystal cores via walkie-talkie, now stepped forward with a forced smile and utmost caution: "Miss Lu, the journey is inconvenient. Would you like us to send a car to take you there? Or... escort you out of the base?"
He just wanted to get rid of these monsters safely as soon as possible.
Lu Xici glanced at him: "No need."
Kang Qian and everyone else bowed as they watched Lu Nange and her group leave...
Shen Zhiheng acted as if nothing had happened, and naturally followed Lu Nange's group.
The survivors who had been standing with Shen Zhiheng earlier whispered among themselves, "We didn't expect Chi Yanzhou to be so powerful even after the apocalypse!"
"I just went out with Shen Zhiheng."
"Shall we go now?"
"Go where you want to go... There's a right time to suck up to someone, and now you're just asking to annoy them?"
......
As they moved further away from the crowd, Shi Xu turned to look at Shen Zhiheng: "Why aren't you staying here? What are you doing following us?"
Shen Zhiheng: "Of course I'm going back to the Chi family base with you guys... Brothers, is this... not welcome?"
Chi Yanzhou: "Not welcome!"
He Zhuo immediately chimed in, his tone disdainful: "We are not welcome at all!"
Shen Zhiheng: "Hey, hey, that's going too far! I did a great job! If I hadn't caught those two bastards Ji Zhengmao so quickly, would you have been able to get away with it so easily?"
Gu Qi: "If you hadn't caught those two, would we have let you follow us all the way here?"
Shen Zhiheng: "No...we've been friends since we were kids, practically inseparable! Brother Yan! Brother Qi! Brother Zhuo! Brother Xu! I just betrayed the Mu family on the spot, and now I'm all alone in this crappy base. They could devour me alive! Can you bear to see your brother in such a predicament?"
Chi Yanzhou turned his head, glanced at him, and gave an irrefutable reason: "You're too noisy."
Shen Zhiheng pointed at He Zhuo beside him: "He Zhuo is here, Yan-ge, you say I'm noisy?...Fine, fine! I'll shut up! I promise to be mute from now on! Is that alright?"
He made a gesture as if he were zipping up his mouth.
However, Chi Yanzhou, Gu Qi, and Shi Xu exchanged a glance...
[Nan Nan has too many secrets: spatial abilities, superpowers, a thermostatic suit, a custom-made "Youyou" brand RV... We absolutely cannot let Shen Zhiheng follow her!]
Chi Yanzhou's gaze was the most profound.
He even suspected that the person behind it all might be trying to "follow the clues" and use various leads and unexpected events to find Lu Nange...
Therefore, even the slightest possibility must be nipped in the bud!
Having made up his mind, Chi Yanzhou turned around to face Shen Zhiheng, his voice cold and unyielding, leaving no room for negotiation: "We can't take you."
He paused, looking at Shen Zhiheng's face, which instantly fell apart: "If you want to go to the Chi family base, you can! But... you have to find a way to get there yourself."
Shen Zhiheng: "I heard you all say you were going straight back! So what's wrong with giving me a ride along?"
Once I arrive at the Chi family base, I guarantee I'll be self-sufficient and won't cause you any trouble, okay?
Although I can't compare to you bunch of freaks, I am still a genuine level four wood-type ability user!
I'm good at fighting and forcing plants to grow! I definitely won't hold you back!
Chi Yanzhou: "We have something to do."
Seeing that there was absolutely no hope, Shen Zhiheng sighed and said, "Fine, fine... then I'll walk with you to the base gate, is that alright?"
"Once I leave, I'll figure out how to get to the Chi family base and find you myself."
Chi Yanzhou forced out a cold, single syllable from his nose: "Hmm."
