Chapter 1159: Riding a Mule to Find a Horse
Lu Shu was in no hurry to find the relic. The remains had exceeded his imagination. He would not be able to find the relic in only one or two days.
No matter whether it was the thunderclouds or the herd of cows, Lu Shu understood that he could not be rash inside the remains.
Being a master did not mean that one was invincible. At least, Lu Shu did not dare to fly into the sky.
Israel and the rest realized that the young Asian man in front of them was not decent. If you did not know how to go out, then so be it. Why did you have to play tricks on others?
Lu Shu observed the helicopter. “Were you in the sky then?”
“Yes,” said Israel. “Are you a Practitioner?”
“Yes.” Lu Shu nodded. There was nothing to hide. There were many Practitioners in the remains. He asked, “Can your helicopter fly into the sky?”
If he could not fly, but the helicopter could, it would be perfect. Speaking of which, Lu Shu had never ridden a helicopter in his life.
“No.” The pilot shook his head. “We’re out of fuel.”
Lu Shu was slightly disappointed… wait!
Earlier, Lu Shu had taken Chen Zuan’s phone and realized that electronic equipment could not be used in the remains. A helicopter had many electronic components. How was it still able to fly in the remains?
The pilot had said that they had run out of fuel, not that their electrical equipment had failed!
Lu Shu took out his phone. Other than the fact that there was no signal, everything was normal.
Israel desperately, “What class are you?”
Israel observed Lu Shu. Asians were typical. Lu Shu had rather delicate features, but he was not particularly good-looking. He was rather normal.
Lu Shu looked very young. Israel felt that Lu Shu was not a high-leveled Practitioner.
Lu Shu laughed cheerily. “Class E. Amazing, right?”
Israel seemed somewhat disappointed. They were ordinary people. What did they need most now? Protection!
In the remains that was full of danger, the fear in the hearts of Israel and the rest was at its peak. Typically, they could seek their male colleagues for help when they encountered gangsters. But now, all of them were helpless.
Before Lu Shu came, they had seen massive cows running wildly. They were very frightening, even from a distance.
When Israel saw Lu Shu, she thought that they were saved. However, when Lu Shu said that he was a Class E, she was once again disappointed.
Even if they were ordinary people, they knew the Practitioner classes. A Class E Practitioner was the second from the bottom.
As a celebrity reporter, Israel had confidence in her looks and physique. This was her capital, but she felt that using it on Lu Shu had been a waste.
It was the magically rich era, but Practitioners still chased Israel although she was an ordinary person. The weakest was a Class D. Anyone below Class D did not have the confidence to speak to her.
Although there was a gap between the cultivation realm and the world of ordinary people, males still focused on appearances, not on whether she could train.
Thus, beautiful ladies still had capital. As long as the social order did not collapse, they could still freely choose who they wanted and did not want to be with.
Israel also frequently received information and news about the cultivation realm as she had suitors from the cultivation realm. News about the cultivation realm was the hottest news among ordinary people. It was like the dramas aired during prime time and those aired in the afternoon. They were on completely different levels.
Of course, the information she received was limited. After all, she did not know that the person in front of her was the Ninth Heavenly King.
Footage of Lu Shu was rare. This was because the Heavenly Network had intentionally protected him.
At that moment, Israel was still disappointed. She did not expect her luck to be this bad. There were many Practitioners, but she had run into a weak Practitioner.
Lu Shu looked at Israel and the rest. “Wait and see if anyone else walks past. If someone else comes, ask them how to get out. I will take my leave.”
Not long after, Lu Shu turned back and asked, “Are all of you ordinary people? Every one of you?”
“Yes.” Israel absentmindedly nodded.
“Oh.” Then, Lu Shu continued walking. He asked this question as he had realized that the four of them were together. They had not been randomly allocated.
Only Practitioners and Metahumans seemed to be randomly allocated.
Before he could walk much further, Israel suddenly ran to Lu Shu and grabbed his arm. “Please take us in. When we get out, we will thank you.”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He realized that Israel had a glorified identity. She had not realized this when she came to the remains.
But she did not understand that once she came to the remains, her identity in the outside world was not important. Even the social order was non-existent here. Once ordinary people entered this place, the countdown timer on their lives had started…
This was the end of the world for ordinary people.
Now, Israel’s fear had beaten her pride. However, she wanted to follow Lu Shu only for now. When they encountered stronger Metahumans, she could ask them for help.
This was like riding a mule to find a horse.
But Lu Shu had come here to find the truth. He could not bring a group of ordinary people and walk around.
Israel saw that Lu Shu was deep in thought. She suddenly realized that the young man had not looked at her appearance and physique. She panicked. “If you protect us, we will give you compensation when we get out!”
Lu Shu said with a sense of justice, “I cannot just leave you here. That is not human. Ha ha ha ha, you have misunderstood. Follow me, but I will not take breaks in between.”
Israel was dumbfounded. Lu Shu was a few dozen meters away. He turned back and realized that they had not moved. He waved and shouted, “What are you doing there? Hurry up!”
Lu Shu would not abandon these people here. He was selfish, but not cold-blooded.
Lu Shu had decided that since they would definitely encounter other Practitioners, he would hand over Israel and the rest to them… would his compensation be shared? Or would Israel pay more?
Israel gritted her teeth and caught up. Lu Shu looked at her outfit. She was wearing a tight pencil skirt and 8cm high heels. Lu Shu shook his head and said, “Do you have any flats? If not, we will change out those shoes if we find someone dead. You won’t be able to walk far in these shoes.”
Israel could not stand it. “Why are you so cruel? Are you treating the lives of others lightly?”
Lu Shu laughed. “Is that cruel? Welcome to the remains.”
