Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 1016: GM Lu Xiaoshu

The marketing manager took over the driving. Chen Zuan thought about it and said, “Forget it. We won’t take much more time if we run back. If you crash the car on the way, we still have to repay the showroom.”

The marketing manager was unhappy. “You have to complete a mission when you go back, right? What if you don’t have enough energy? How will you complete your mission? Relax, if the car crashes, I will pay for it…”

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao opened the car door and jumped on the roof. They ran towards Beimang Mountain, where the Luo Shen Cultivation College was.

On the way, Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao saw the members of the Heavenly Network evacuating the civilians to the north. Longmen Mountain was in the south. Thus, the Heavenly Network moved the civilians to the north.

The Heavenly Network did not have enough Practitioners. Thus, they roped in the secret practitioners to help.

A majority of the civilians knew what was happening. They knew that times were different. Something that could make the Heavenly Network so nervous was definitely a catastrophe. Thus, they unexpectedly cooperated with them.

Some secret practitioners greeted Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao when they saw them. These secret practitioners, who were afraid of death in the past, did not run away this time. The Heavenly Network had called them over, and they had responded quickly.

It was fortunate that Luo City had the biggest black market in the entire country. Luckily, a few thousand secret practitioners were gathered there.

But time was tight. It would take a few days for the evacuation to be complete. Chen Zuan did not know whether they would be able to delay enough time for the civilians to evacuate!

They should have directly gone to the Longmen Mountains, but the message that Zhong Yutang had sent them stated that they were to pick up their bronze armor.

This order made Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao realise the severity of this situation. If not, why would they need to wear their bronze armor? It was definitely because the situation this time was very dangerous!

When Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao rushed back, over a thousand members of the flood of bronze had gathered.

Chen Zuan looked at Zhong Yutang’s gloomy expression. He asked, “What happened?”

“The pathway has opened up, but our fortress is still under construction and is not done,” said Zhong Yutang in a serious tone. “A hundred soldiers in black armor suddenly rushed out from the pathway. They may not be very strong, but the people on the ground are not combat ready. The soldiers killed everyone they saw! We have lost over 100 comrades! But your granduncle is here. He is killing as many of them as he can. But… the pathway did not close like last time.”

Chen Zuan grew serious. Back then, at the Tiger’s Back, he was still chatting with others from the Heavenly Network. Everyone was very welcoming. They even introduced him to the structure of the fortress.

But now, were they all dead?

He did not know how many people he knew from the people who had died. But regardless of whether he knew them or not, they were all comrades.

“We captured a person called Li Ke. He is a chief driver there, and is in charge of transporting rations,” said Zhong Yutang suddenly. “He loves to eat. We called in a chef to cook him a meal everyday, and he tells us a secret everyday. According to what we know, there are 200 thousand soldiers gathered near the pathway. According to Heavenly King Nie’s analysis, they might be targeting the Earth. The West Lord of Heaven, Duanmu Huangqi, has no reason to station his troops here. He must have discovered a secret behind the pathway.”

“So, is he planning to invade the Earth?” Chen Zuan was dumbfounded

“It’s not only here.” Zhong Yutang said with a serious tone, “There have also been waves of energy in Northern Europe and America. Thus, we suspect that… the two worlds are completely connected.”

“Why does this feel like a game server?” Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. “I really feel like I’m playing a game now.”

Cheng Qiuqiao was dumbfounded.

“Look at it this way. There are two different servers Lu Shu is the GM, or game master, of the Earth. As long as you give him money, he will help you become strong…” Chen Zuan analyzed this carefully.

Zhong Yutang was silent.

Cheng Qiuqiao was speechless too.

The entire flood of bronze did not speak.

“To be honest, I feel that Chen Zuan makes sense. Look at the flood of bronze,” said someone slowly.

Everyone relied on the bronze armor, but Lu Shu was the one who had taken the armor from the people of the sea…

Chen Zuan had relied on the magical liquid from Lu Shu to advance to Class B. Class A was within his reach.

Furthermore, Lu Shu angered Nie Ting to the point that he reached Shen Cang Jing. Later on, Lu Shu had also helped him to recover his foundation…

Everyone suddenly felt that Lu Shu could not be separated from the development of the Heavenly Network…

“This is not the time to talk about this.” Zhong Yutang interrupted their train of thought. “Everyone, wear your bronze armor and head to the Longmen Mountain. No matter when they come, you must lead the Heavenly Network and station them on Longmen Mountain to buy time for the civilians.”

“Yes!” Chen Zuan and the rest were off to save lives.

Before they could do much, Zhong Yutang suddenly called them back. Chen Zuan and the rest of the flood of bronze suddenly turned back and saw Zhong Yutang bowing at them. He said, “I have obtained information from Li Ke that they have more Rank One experts than us. I know that there is a possibility that some of you may be sacrificed. But please do not retreat. The Heavenly Network does not have an escape route. Behind us are the civilians.”

“Zhong Yutang, you treat us like outsiders.” Chen Zuan put on his bronze armor and spoke in a low, muffled voice, “You act as if you’re the only one who is clear about the righteousness of this cause. We are not scared.”

Zhong Yutang stood up straight. “I have notified Heavenly King Nie. If the situation is not as bad as I have imagined, all the members of the Heavenly Network in the country will gather here. I hope that everyone will be able to survive!”

“Relax. I’m planning to survive and find Brother Shu. I want him to help me cheat in my game.” Chen Zuan waved and led the rest to Longmen Mountain.

The civilians fled to the north. Among the crowd, the flood of bronze headed towards the south. Many civilians looked at the flood of bronze while they ran to the north.

They were the only ones traveling in the opposite direction.

It was now sunset. The setting sun was as red as blood.
