nChapter 132: Nanxiang, Nothing Happened

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nLu Ming had considered himself a hero.

nEven if he had unintentionally become a hero in reality, it was not his intention at all.

nHe just wanted to live a simple and ordinary life.

nAnd to live such a life, one major principle was to avoid risks.

nTherefore, Lu Ming never took risks.

nHe was even unwilling to go out.

nToday, Bai Tianyu and the others set off to explore the Black Mist Zone.

nIn Lu Ming’s understanding, this was a huge risk.

nBut there was nothing he could do about it.

nEveryone had to enter the Black Mist Zone sooner or later. Someone had to take this first step to scout the way for the battalion.

nLu Ming would not do such a thing.

nHowever, it did not stop him from admiring those who voluntarily took on such a task.

nStanding on the observation tower, Lu Ming looked down from a high vantage point and easily saw the three heavily modified military vehicles and the 15 Awakened ones standing in front of them.

nBai Tianyu (Level 5) was the leader.

nDuan Mei (Level 4) and three other Level 4 Awakened.

nThen, there were ten Level 3 Awakened with different superpowers, but they were all very outstanding.

nThese 15 pioneers were bidding farewell to the others at the entrance of Good Hope Village.

nPerhaps Lu Ming’s gaze attracted Bai Tianyu.

nBai Tianyu raised his head and looked towards the observation tower.

nHe and Lu Ming locked eyes for a moment, and then Bai Tianyu waved his hand forcefully at Lu Ming.

n“Brother Lu! We’re going! I’ll leave the family to you!”

nThis Black Mist Exploration Team gathered most of the high-end forces of the official shelter.

nWithout them, the official Awakened community would lose its focus—but it did not matter. Lu Ming was still around.

nAs long as Lu Ming was around, this place would have a stabilizing force.

nHearing Bai Tianyu’s words, Lu Ming thought for a moment, but he did not know what expression to make.

nHe could only raise his right hand and give Bai Tianyu a thumbs up.

n“Have a safe trip.”

nThe members of the Black Mist Exploration Team grinned.

nThe three vehicles drove away with a buzzing sound.

nUntil they disappeared from Lu Ming’s sight, he walked down the observation tower and went home for his afternoon nap.

nWhen he woke up, the aftermath of the Black Mist Exploration Team’s departure had subsided, and Lu Ming returned to his own rhythm.

nIn the morning, it was basic fitness training.

nIn the afternoon, skill training.

nIn the evening, stance training.

nSimple but fulfilling.

nBecause Lu Ming had always been a simple person.

nFurthermore, countless people protected by Lu Ming were giving him various forms of feedback.

nAt the official shelter.

nAfter Huo Sheng ended his conversation with Lolita, he received news from his subordinates.

nThe focus of the message was threefold.

nFirst: The whereabouts of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.

nThis was still unknown.

nBack then, Simba and the Mother Tree’s actions were too secretive, and the officials did not have enough power to monitor them, so the Mother Tree vanished without a trace.

nBut it did not matter…

nThe confirmed fact was that there were no more human-headed monsters in Nanxiang City.

nThis might mean that even if the Mother Tee had escaped, it had already left Nanxiang City and headed for the Black Mist Zone.

nAs for how much trouble the Mother Tree could cause in the Black Mist Zone, it had little to do with this place.

nSecond: The progress of the Black Mist’s contraction.

nIt was already confirmed that the speed of the Black Mist’s contraction was gradually accelerating, and the time left for them was getting shorter.

nAt this point, Huo Sheng had already begun to prepare for the relocation.

nAs for what would happen when they entered the Black Mist Zone and what Huo Sheng’s plans were…

nThe answer Huo Sheng could give now was to take it one step at a time.

nHis understanding of the Black Mist Zone was limited to word of mouth.

nOnce they were inside the Black Mist Zone, he could only adapt and respond according to the situation.

nOf course, he also prayed that Bai Tianyu could bring back more useful information.

nThirdly, the black fog had split for the second time.

nJust this morning, the officials observed another crack in the Black Mist.

nMore monsters ran out of the Black Mist Zone.

nMostly Rank 4, with a few Rank 5, and they did not know if there were any Rank 6.

nHowever, after experiencing the matter of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree, Huo Sheng felt that these were all minor issues…

nEven if the monsters from the Black Mist Zone were awesome, could they be as awesome as Lu Ming?

nThere was no possibility of that.

nDay 121 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday

nNothing happened.

nThe Black Mist Exploration Team had not returned.

nDay 122 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Tuesday.

nToday was uneventful as well.

nDay 123 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Wednesday

nA flock of black birds attacked the gathering place on Guangping Street, and as a result, they became Lu Ming’s food reserve.

nThere was still no news from the Black Mist Exploration Team.

nDay 124 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Thursday

nA Tier 5 zombie walked out of the Black Mist and followed its hunting instincts to arrive in front of the gathering place on Guangping Street.

nIt was nearly four meters tall and was thinner than a Tier 4 Tank.

nIts entire body was covered in a hard cuticle layer. Its hands were black and had already transformed into sickles.

nIts intelligence did not seem to be high.

nSlightly stronger than a Tank.

nAfter gathering nearly a hundred pitiful underlings, the Tier 5 zombie did not think about why there were so few zombies in Nanxiang. It rushed towards the highest-level Awakened in Nanxiang—Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan.

nThen, it was smashed into meat paste by Lu Ming’s iron discus…

nIn short, after experiencing so much, a Tier 5 little brother was no threat to Lu Ming at all.

nSo, as usual….

nToday, nothing happened.

nDay 125 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday

nEncountered a Tier 5 exotic beast.

nThe meat was tender and Lu Ming was very satisfied.

nDay 126 of the Apocalypse Calendar…

nDay 127…

nDay 128…

nDay 130…

nUntil Day 133 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Saturday.

nThe morning exercise ended.

nIn the afternoon, Zhang Chengcheng successfully advanced and became a Level 5 Awakened!

nFrom the beginning to the end, Chengcheng had only consumed a total of three Tier 4 zombie crystals. The quantity of the other seven crystals was filled with the Basic Breathing Technique.

nAt the moment, Lu Ming’s three-dimensional attributes had reached:

nStrength: 871.2

nPhysique: 882.5

nAgility: 900.9

nJust as he felt that Chengcheng’s support was decreasing, heaven abided by his wishes.

nExcited, Lu Ming’s appetite improved a lot in the evening.

nAs the saying went, good news comes in pairs.

nIn the evening, after Lu Ming finished his stance practice, three shabby military vehicles drove over from afar and stopped at the entrance of Good Hope Village.

nAfter half a month, the Black Mist Exploration Team finally returned.

nThe return of the Black Mist Exploration Team was undoubtedly a joyous occasion!

nHowever, when he saw the people stepping out of the vehicle, the joyful mood was instantly dampened.

nWhen they set off, there were a total of 15 people in the Black Mist Exploration Team.

nHowever, upon their return, there were only nine remaining.

nBai Tianyu and Duan Mei were fine.

nThe two of them got out of the car with solemn expressions. When they saw Lu Ming, Wang Xiong, and the others, they barely squeezed out a smile.

nWang Xiong took a step forward and said solemnly, “Thank you for your hard work.”

n“Let’s eat something first. I’ve already asked someone to inform Professor Huo Sheng.”

nBai Tianyu nodded slightly.

nWhen he saw Lu Ming’s figure in the distance, he seemed to have put down a heavy burden and relaxed a lot..
