CHAPTER 702: 701

The closer Lu Zixun approached the location of the base, the more Insect Clan members he saw, seemingly searching for something.

Knowing what they were searching for, Lu Zixun’s brow furrowed, and he sped up his flying pace by a notch.

Though killing these Insect Clan members posed no challenge, it was unnecessary.

Their relentless search also conveyed a message to Lu Zixun: they hadn’t found the base yet.

"Prepare to break out."

Outside, the insects were continuously attacking the metal door.

Heavenly Eye gripped the Spiritual Rifle in his hands, turned to look at Chi, and without prior agreement, both nodded.

Standing at the very front, Chi’s arms trembled slightly as he spoke loudly, "Later, Heaven, Ling, and Moon, we four will hold off the Insect Clan here, everyone else follow Aili and leave from the other side, then run towards the direction of the Crimson Lands."

Aili looked at the four in front of him, then glanced back at his younger brothers and sisters, holding back the tears in his eyes.

He spoke with a relaxed and comfortable tone, "After dealing with these insects, hurry and find us, I’ll leave markers along the way."

Startled, Chi then said with a smile, "Ah, don’t worry, we’ll catch up very soon."

At this moment, Lu Zixun, having reached the entrance of the base, saw the damaged entrance and tensed up inside.

Activating his Spiritual Energy scan, he detected life signals underground and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sword Qi burst forth, clearing out the lingering Insect Clan around, and then entered through the damaged entrance.

Seeing several J-level Blood Ability Users continuously attacking the metal door, Lu Zixun pondered for a moment and then froze them in place.

This was like a gift of valuable intelligence.

"Can you hear me?"

Standing in front of the metal door, Lu Zixun asked.

Excitement appeared on Chi’s face, and he was about to speak.

Heaven stepped forward two steps and covered Chi’s mouth, making a shushing gesture and whispered, "Those insects can speak; what we need to do now is to stall for time, not be misled."

With Lu Zixun’s current strength, even through the metal door, he heard Heaven’s words clearly, a look of admiration appearing on his face.

It must be said, there was a reason these children managed to escape from the High-level Farm; they were extremely cautious.

"I know Mr. Sun, he sent me here."

Initially, he did not want to frighten the children, but Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Energy Silk detected that another group of children was about to leave the base from another side, which wasn’t good news.

After saying this, Lu Zixun used the method Mr. Sun showed in the projection to unlock the metal door and stepped forward to open it.

"He actually knows the method to open the metal door."

Listening to the familiar "beep-beep" sound, inevitable panic appeared in Heavenly Eye’s eyes, "Prepare to shoot!"

The door had just opened a crack.

Just as Lu Zixun was about to greet them, a Blood Burning Bullet flew out, grazing past Lu Zixun’s arm.

"Fog Grass."

Though the Blood Burning Bullet couldn’t hurt Lu Zixun, this sudden incident still gave him a scare.

"I really am one of you."

He said helplessly, summoning Spiritual Energy Silk and gently tying up the children.

He had even seen one child trying to pull the pin of a blood-stained grenade.

Looking at the despair in their eyes, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but raise his hand and estimate their height—probably around eleven or twelve years old, yet so formidable.

As the other group of children was about to leave the base, Lu Zixun couldn’t afford to explain to these four children and, in a flash, ran toward another exit.

This purposeful and extremely fast approach made Chi feel a sense of despair in his eyes. Was this the disparity in strength?

He had thought that once he grew up, he would surely be able to destroy the Insect Clan, but now it seemed...

it might be impossible.

Heaven, meanwhile, continued to twist its body, trying to break free from the hold of the Spiritual Energy Silk. Unfortunately, this was not something Heaven could achieve.

A despairing aura permeated the area.

Compared to their reactions, Ling felt a sense of relief.

He paid more attention to details and, not seeing any Insect Clan following Lu Zixun, he largely believed what Lu Zixun had said.

But what Ling found peculiar was, since Lu Zixun was Mr. Sun’s friend, where was Mr. Sun...

After bringing all the children back to the base, Lu Zixun counted them—one by one, eighteen, not one less.

Silently nodding, Lu Zixun, looking at the children whose eyes were filled with hatred and anger, couldn’t help feeling very troubled.

He wasn’t good at dealing with children; he was a child himself.

"First of all, I am indeed Sun Yang’s friend. If I weren’t, I wouldn’t have just busted in and tied you up, understand?"

After Lu Zixun finished speaking, the room suddenly went quiet.

All the children lowered their heads, none of them paying him any attention.

"Ah."

Feeling an immense headache, Lu Zixun had no choice but to use his phone to contact Ge Changming.

Given his strength, bringing back eighteen children to Fusion World in one go was quite a difficult task.

The moment Ge Changming received the message from Lu Zixun, his brain froze.

Lu Zixun had previously told him that Demon Country was somewhat short on manpower, then not long after, he informed him of the eighteen children. Could it be that Lu Zixun had turned into a human trafficker?!

"Brother Xun, I don’t think this is the right way to go!"

Looking at the message Ge Changming replied, Lu Zixun was baffled. Why was this not okay?

Only when Ge Changming sent a long message, especially emphasizing Fusion World’s penalties for human traffickers, did Lu Zixun laugh in frustration.

Damn it, so in your eyes, I’m a trafficker, huh!

While Lu Zixun kept typing on his screen, arguing with Ge Changming, a strange noise sounded beside his ear.

"Goo goo goo."

Looking up, Lu Zixun gave a wry smile. Are you hungry?

"Stop the nonsense, just send someone over. These kids escaped from a High-level Farm."

After sending one last message to Ge Changming, Lu Zixun put away his phone, laid out a bunch of food on the table, and said to the kids, "I’ll release the Spiritual Energy Silk from you, eat some food first, and don’t run away. I’ll take you out of here soon."

"Um."

Hearing a child finally respond, Lu Zixun felt tears welling up in his eyes and immediately withdrew the Spiritual Energy Silk.

Observing the children curiously eyeing the food on the table, Lu Zixun fell silent for a moment.

These children... probably didn’t recognize the food.

Sighing, Lu Zixun transformed into a cat shape, popped out his claws, and sliced open the outer plastic of the instant noodles.

Ice and Spiritual Fire appeared at the same time, he poured in hot water and then covered it.

"Lord Cat!"

As soon as Lu Zixun transformed into a cat, the children suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
