Along the way, Wang Zheng met many people and witnessed all sorts of sordid things that happened during the disaster.
When he encountered polite survivors, Wang Zheng told them that reinforcements had entered the city and that they should remain calm and wait patiently for rescue.
If someone insists on going with him, as long as he doesn't lay a hand on them, he'll tolerate it and simply ride away on a cloud, or at most, ignore them completely.
As for those who insist on courting death, he has encountered quite a few, and he hasn't tolerated them either.
Among these people were those who threatened him with their status and power, those who forcibly attacked him in an attempt to keep him there, those who used so-called "hostages" to coerce him, and those who deceived him with false information...
The various reasons are countless and bizarre, and such a disaster has revealed the ugliness of human nature to the fullest extent.
However, Wang Zheng treated all of them equally, presenting them with his newly acquired spoils of war as gifts.
There's nothing else to it, just lots of candle flame crystals.
The fire was raging throughout the search.
...
Wang Zheng bid farewell to the last survivor settlement; the area had been completely searched.
The search revealed that not a single member of the original garrison of Baoshan City was found. After the demon king attacked and the strange beasts entered the city, most of the survivors were only concerned with their own survival and did not care about the situation of others.
Therefore, Wang Zheng did not obtain any useful information.
He then planned to continue eastward, but that area was already in the suburbs, where not only were the houses low and there was more open space, but the concentration of strange beasts was also more severe.
Sure enough, Wang Zheng hadn't gone far after leaving the city when he sensed the most intense fluctuation of spiritual energy he had experienced so far.
They might be survivors who were still fleeing out of the city gate at the time.
With this thought in mind, Wang Zheng immediately accelerated forward. As he slowly approached, he discovered that this was an air-raid shelter built in the last century.
Just a few hundred meters from the entrance, several awakened individuals were fighting fiercely against a group of strange beasts.
Among the people fighting outside, Wang Zheng, the leader, was someone he unexpectedly recognized.
This person turned out to be the rice noodle shop owner he had met on his first trip to Kunming—Bart, the one who was suspected to be his father's comrade-in-arms.
He vividly remembered the rice noodle shop owner whose name was used to take advantage of people, and Wang Zheng was even thinking of asking his father to check the owner's identity after returning to Jingnan.
He was no longer the lazy and relaxed man he had been before. His neatly dressed combat uniform was stained with various blackened bloodstains. Judging from his rank, he was several ranks higher than Wang Zheng and was a lieutenant colonel.
The person who had fainted on his back was also a familiar face to Wang Zheng—Xu Yifeng, one of the Thirteen Protectors of Chuncheng, with whom he had also dealt before.
Wang Zheng knew that Xu Taibao had connections with the military, and guessed that the two of them must have been summoned by the Yunnan Military Region to provide emergency support.
I wonder which batch they came from, and why they're all in such a mess.
Nabat's condition was only slightly better than Xu Yifeng's; he was also covered in wounds, with several cuts in his combat uniform that clearly revealed the inside of the flesh.
Bart is currently standing back-to-back with several soldiers in combat uniforms, guarding against a small horde of beasts led by several sixth-rank alien beasts.
Among these people were a dozen or so students who were only about ten years old, and a young teacher.
The little children were crying loudly in fear, while the young female teacher, though also looking tense and scared, was trying to remain calm and comfort them, attempting not to cause any trouble for the soldiers protecting her.
As they cried and fussed, the beasts grew impatient and began to approach step by step.
Meanwhile, several faces were peeking out of the air-raid shelter entrance in the distance, as if they were planning to come and help.
The group of people on the ground naturally saw Wang Zheng immediately, but no one called for help.
Wang Zheng was not flying at a high altitude at this time, and with the jumping ability of a sixth-grade beast, it was entirely possible for it to attack him.
They didn't want Wang Zheng to get involved in the fight, since he looked only a little older than the group of kids behind them.
Meanwhile, Bart was focused on guarding against the distant herd of beasts and did not recognize Wang Zheng, whom he had met once before. The only person who recognized Wang Zheng and knew his abilities, Xu Yifeng, was still unconscious.
Seeing the critical situation, Wang Zheng didn't intend to chat with them casually, thinking there would be plenty of time to catch up later.
In an instant, a holy pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping everyone who was gradually being surrounded by the strange beast.
As they felt their injuries gradually healing, everyone's faces lit up with joy.
In their eyes, the guy floating in the sky was actually a rare healing-type awakened being.
Regardless of what the red cloud beneath his feet was, with medical support available, they should be able to get the children behind them into the air-raid shelter to hide.
Then they will have no worries about the rear. With the help of the powerful Lieutenant Colonel Bart, even if they cannot annihilate this small group of beasts in front of them, luring them away will definitely not be a problem.
