Chapter 44 The Moving Palace—They're Still Alive! (Please Read On!)
Lu Zheng has been supporting Gu Lingyue for some time now.

He was genuinely envious of that extraordinary resource card, and at the same time, he understood that Gu Lingyue was indeed the kind of person with her own principles.

Gu Lingyue wasn't pretending; she genuinely cared.

Lu Zheng respects this attitude.

He wasn't some wicked person who committed all sorts of evil deeds; he was just a simple lecher.

These women followed him, and it was all a matter of mutual consent.

If Gu Lingyue really can't make the decision to follow him, then Lu Zheng will no longer have any lingering feelings for this woman.

After discovering Zhang Ningzhu, Lu Zheng realized that there was no shortage of women in the world who could meet the four criteria; it was just that the scope here was too small.

So he should go out for a walk.

Previously, there were no such conditions.

The thick fog and traffic jams made it incredibly difficult to navigate by feeling my way in the dark.

But now that he has the Beast Taming Ring, a supernatural resource, he can use a large number of sickle worms to clear the road first, making it easier for him to drive his RV.

It's like a mobile palace.

Since I don't have to work hard now, I might as well travel around the world, rescue beautiful women, and enjoy the scenery.

Although others were in dire straits and facing life and death, it had nothing to do with him. After all, when he was starving before, no one had ever given him a million dollars to ensure he had enough to eat and wear.

Perhaps because he was being taken care of too comfortably by the girls, Lu Zheng actually fell asleep.

If it weren't for the fact that he would exhale hot breath that made Emilia blush, Emilia would have thought she had accidentally suffocated him.

Lu Zheng woke up at dinner time. After having dinner together, he began to absorb the crystal core.

His intuition told him that if he were to absorb only second-tier crystal cores, he would need a very large quantity to advance his abilities.

But at least now, after absorbing it, my strength can still be improved.

However, if the level remains unchanged, the essence cannot be altered, and the power cannot increase dramatically.

Currently, the smallest gap in the space barrier is half a millimeter, or five hundred micrometers. When it can be reduced to less than fifty micrometers, its power will increase significantly.

The radius of curvature of a machete and an axe is between fifty and two hundred micrometers.

Once this level is reached, it means that the spatial lines created by Lu Zheng have already possessed the sharpness of a blade.

If an insect crashes into it, it will cut itself in two!

This is the power that Lu Zheng is pursuing.

But we're still a long way off.

The next day, after breakfast, Lu Zheng left Canglan University with Xiong Jin'er, Zheng Jingyi, and Zhang Ningzhu.

Zheng Jingyi was brought along just in case; if anyone got injured, Zheng Jingyi could provide treatment.

At the same time, it will also help Zhang Ningzhu improve her combat experience and capture more sickle worms.

Last night he told everyone about helping Xiong Jin'er find her family.

The supplies and personnel arrangements were all in place, and they even helped Bai Zhihui control two sickle worms for patrol and defense. With Yu Zihan, Emilia, and the other ability users, plus the pistol left by Lu Zheng, there would be no trouble at the school.

More than twenty sickle-like insects cleared the way, and Zhang Ningzhu drove the car.

Lu Zheng enjoyed the service from Xiong Jin'er and Zheng Jingyi. Xiong Jin'er massaged him, and Zheng Jingyi fed him fruit.

The journey was not boring.

When encountering a larger swarm of sickle-like insects, Lu Zheng would go down to expand his army.

If he encounters a two-tailed scorpion, he will go down and kill it.

For him, the Tier 1 Sickle Bugs are now just a kind of laborer, while the Tier 2 Twin-Tailed Scorpions are the source of crystal cores.

The distance from Canglan University to Xiong Jin'er's home in the South District is 23 kilometers, which was just a short drive before the apocalypse.

However, due to the current inconvenient transportation, even if sickle-like insects frantically clear a path, the speed will not be too fast.

After an hour of travel, we've only covered half the distance.

Lu Zheng, on the other hand, had fifty sickle worms under his command and had also obtained three second-tier crystal cores.

Xiong Jin'er seemed preoccupied, and Lu Zheng pulled her into his arms. "You have to have the worst-case scenario in mind. In this apocalypse, anyone can die at any time, including you and me."

"Even if your family members have met with misfortune, you must live on."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Jin'er hugged Lu Zheng tightly, as if afraid he would leave her.

Any normal person with flesh and blood would be reluctant to part with their loved ones.

When Lu Zheng's family members passed away, it took him a long time to recover from his grief.
Because of the increased number of sickle-like insects under its command, the clearing process was much faster. The second half of the journey only took half an hour, and the RV stopped at the entrance of a community called Yonghua Xiyuan.

After the four of them got out of the car, Lu Zheng packed up the RV and then they walked together towards Xiong Jin'er's house.

Xiong Jin'er is an only child. She lives with her parents and maternal grandmother. Her paternal grandparents passed away a long time ago.

Her house was on the second floor, shrouded in black fog, making it clearly unsuitable for long-term stays.

After searching inside, there was indeed no trace of it.

“During the last phone call, my dad said they were staying at the home of a security guard named Mao Song.”

"It seems to be on the eighth floor, but they didn't say exactly which one."

After a pause, Xiong Jin'er continued in a deep voice:

"But according to my senses, there are no living people inside this building."

After reaching the second level, Xiong Jin'er's current perception range is 100 meters. This building is not tall, and when she approached it, she already knew that it was an empty building.

Entering the house was merely to search for traces of family members.

"Then let's go up and take a look."

As Lu Zheng spoke, he took Xiong Jin'er's hand, which reassured her considerably.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the eighth floor and searched every room. Through some handwriting, they determined that Mao Song's house was 804.

Suddenly, Zhang Ningzhu noticed a note and quickly called the others to look at it.

'Jin'er, if you find this place, come to the First Prison to find us. We've moved there with Security Officer Mao Song and the others; they've set up a base there.'

Upon seeing this news, Xiong Jin'er was extremely excited.

They're still alive!

Lu Zheng, however, was not as optimistic as she was. The Canglan City First Prison was two kilometers away from here.

It's not far; it only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to walk there.

But getting through the black fog teeming with insects is no easy task.

Unexpected events are possible on the road.

However, he did not discourage Xiong Jin'er. He immediately took her downstairs, and the group got into the car and drove towards the First Prison.

A few minutes later, the car stopped nearby.

Looking at the crater that had appeared on the ground, Lu Zheng had a bad feeling.

“There are living people, quite a few living people in there.”

Xiong Jin'er grabbed Lu Zheng's arm and said excitedly.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Lu Zheng held Xiong Jin'er's hand, with Zheng Jingyi and Zhang Ningzhu following behind. Using Xiong Jin'er's life perception ability, they arrived at the building with the most people and went directly upstairs.

At the entrance, two or three men were stunned by Lu Zheng and his group's appearance. One of them was the first to recover and said:

"Are you new survivors? Come with me to register!"
