Chapter 134: Lu Xingfeng Arrives in the Modern World

Zhuiyingjian, riverbank.

Lu Xingfeng, from the moment he saw a human figure vanish into thin air during the day, has been kneeling and begging.

This is his only lifeline.

Despite his body being utterly weak, relying on his last shred of belief, he forced himself to kneel from daytime until midnight.

Just as his strength was exhausted to the limit, his mind dazed and on the verge of fainting, he suddenly saw a fluorescent vortex appear before him.

"Immortal... Immortal has manifested?!"

Lu Xingfeng's spirit lifted, he widened his eyes to gaze at the scene emerging in the fluorescent vortex.

There's light... and a person!

"Immortal! Save me!"

Seeing the vortex about to vanish, Lu Xingfeng shouted, mustering all his strength to rise and lunge toward the fluorescent vortex.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at a place he had never seen before.

"Who... who are you?!" Ning Hai stared in shock at the one-armed man stumbling out of the fluorescent vortex.

"Immortal! Immortal! You finally heard my prayer!" Lu Xingfeng knelt on the ground, clutching Ning Hai's leg and weeping bitterly, "I, a commoner, am Lu Xingfeng, originally the senior disciple of a sect on Yuqi Mountain, but I was harmed by a treacherous person, suffering grave injuries and trapped in a desperate situation!"

Ning Hai's mind went blank for several seconds before he came to.

"Commoner?"

"Sect?"

Looking again at this guy's tattered clothes, one could barely tell that the fabric and style differed from modern attire.

"Where did you come from?" Ning Hai pointed at the fluorescent vortex that was beginning to disappear quickly.

Lu Xingfeng glanced back, nodded vigorously, "Yes, Immortal above, I, a commoner, dare not deceive! Please, Immortal, save me!"

Having said that, he looked excited, gazing up at the Immortal before him.

The Immortal wore strange clothes he had never seen, donned a strange helmet covering his face, and together with the surrounding unprecedented strange scenery, he concluded he had come to the Immortal's world!

Ning Hai felt a tingling on his scalp; he never expected to personally witness time-space travel here!

Without a doubt, it was that black spherical machine that did it!

There is no doubt, it was that black spherical machine that did it!

A muffled collapsing sound came from above.

The surrounding walls suddenly sank downward, and cracks began to appear densely.

"Oh no... this place is going to collapse too!" Ning Hai quickly came to his senses and was about to rush into the fluorescent vortex.

Now it's impossible to escape the way we came from several hundred meters underground.

Never mind the details, preserving life is urgent!

"Immortal!" Lu Xingfeng tightly clung to Ning Hai's leg, "Please heal my wounds and let my arm grow back!"

Being delayed by him, the black sphere on the experimental table stopped rotating.

The fluorescent vortex also disappeared completely.

"You motherfucker!" Ning Hai, furious, slapped Lu Xingfeng on the head and shouted, "Immortal your mother! I'm not an immortal! I'm going to be killed by you!"

"You... aren't an immortal?" Lu Xingfeng couldn't believe it, "But you clearly let me leave Zhuiyingjian, and there's this place..."

Ning Hai had no mind to argue with him, turned and rushed toward the only exit of the basement.

Ning Hai had no mind to argue with him, turned and rushed toward the only exit of the basement.

Outside suddenly collapsed; in the blink of an eye, a pile of rubble completely blocked the round entrance.

"It's over... over and over..." Ning Hai stood stunned in place for a few seconds, then went limp on the ground, "I'm doomed... I'm doomed!"

This secret laboratory located deepest in the Kuchiboerge Nuclear Power Plant is certainly the most sturdy; otherwise, how could it have survived the massive explosion decades ago and remained so well preserved?

But judging from the vibrations outside, even if this place won't completely collapse next, the outside is surely completely blocked.

Ning Hai fell completely into despair, his eyes hollow, staring at the increasingly obvious cracks on the wall.

In contrast, Lu Xingfeng, who completely didn't know what was happening, quickly calmed down.

Originally he still didn't believe Ning Hai's claim that he wasn't an immortal.

Now taking a look...

How could an immortal panic like this? How could an immortal fear death?

He then calmed his emotions and stopped paying attention to Ning Hai.

Upon calming down, he sensed the nuclear radiation energy filling the surroundings, "Huh? What place is this? How can there be such abundant spiritual energy?!"

He didn't have time to think further, immediately sat cross-legged, circulating his internal strength to begin absorbing.

In the past, martial artists seeking to increase their internal strength would try every means to find natural treasures containing spiritual energy, and in the martial world they would fight bloody over those treasures.

Even though he was the senior disciple of the Tian Shu Sect, obtaining treasures was not easy.

According to his estimate, merely the spiritual energy drifting around right now is far more abundant than that contained in a pile of Night Bright Pearls.

According to his estimate, merely the spiritual energy drifting around right now is far more abundant than what is contained in a pile of Night Bright Pearls.

Lu Xingfeng, while absorbing spiritual energy and converting it to internal strength, laughed out loud, "Ye Zhangmen, Ye Zhangmen, just guard that little Night Bright Pearl and get by! Now heaven helps me, letting me come to this place of abundant spiritual energy! I will surely become an unparalleled master!"

Ning Hai, slumped not far away, watched this oddly behaving, strangely speaking weirdo, holding his forehead in despair and muttering, "Good heavens... could it be that I have to die together with this lunatic?"

Soon, Lu Xingfeng absorbed all the spiritual energy in the basement, his whole body became much more spirited, his eyes shining brightly.

"May I ask, how should I address you, brother?" He stood up and walked to Ning Hai's front.

Ning Hai, surrounded by despair, had no mind to respond.

Lu Xingfeng again said, "This place is full of spiritual energy; why do you, brother, have no martial arts at all? Isn't that a waste of this spiritual energy?"

"Damn it, stop talking nonsense!" Ning Hai, annoyed to the point of intolerance, roared angrily, "Can you at least let me die in peace?"

"You motherf***, stop the nonsense!" Ning Hai, irritated beyond endurance, roared angrily, "Can you let me be a little cleaner before I die?"

Lu Xingfeng frowned, about to say something, when he suddenly felt that the exit just blocked by rocks, and spiritual energy seeped in.

It seemed the spiritual energy outside was more abundant.

Thus, he circulated his Internal Skill and struck the rock with a palm.

Boom!

Amid flying dust, the exit was blown open by his palm from a distance.

Ning Hai stared dumbfounded, "How... how did you do that?!"

Lu Xingfeng ignored him, bent over and crawled out.

Ning Hai was stunned for a few seconds, then scrambled after him, rolling and crawling.

When they reached outside the underground laboratory, Lu Xingfeng wondered, "Where is this again, why is it still pitch black?"

"This is still the basement," Ning Hai said behind him, "We are now several hundred meters underground; if we don't leave quickly, it will collapse."

Ning Hai had just finished speaking when a large chunk of reinforced concrete fell from above, smashing right beside them.

"Do you know how to get out?" Lu Xingfeng asked.

Ning Hai immediately said, "I have a map on me; if we move fast, we might escape before total collapse!"

Lu Xingfeng thought to himself, this strange person has no martial arts at all, poses no threat to him, and he still needs him to figure out what this place is, so he nodded, "Fine, you show the way, I'll take you out."

——

The time had reached two o'clock in the morning local time.

When the mercenary squad fled to the ground, the rare large thunderstorm had already stopped, and a heavy rain poured down in the night sky.

Several people, without catching their breath, quickly moved to a solid high ground.

The mercenary captain fired a flare forward.

In the light's glow, it could be seen that many nearby areas were still collapsing, and the surroundings were no longer as they had been when they first arrived.

"We need to hurry and leave this place," the mercenary captain said while looking for direction.

"Damn it," a team member cursed, "the mission isn't done, we won't get our pay."

The mercenary captain comforted, "At least we're still alive."

Another team member looked toward the cave they had just crawled out of, "Are we really not going to care about Mr. Ning? How will we explain to Professor Bruce later?"

The mercenary captain shrugged, "We only made it out before the collapse below thanks to God's protection; now... that route is surely destroyed, even if we wanted to look after him we couldn't, so we'll just explain the situation to Professor Bruce."

The mercenary squad completely abandoned any plan to rescue Ning Hai.

After resting briefly on the spot, they prepared to leave.

Just as several people were about to step forward——

Boom!

The ground emitted a muffled thud.

From the spot they had just emerged from, a clump of rubble suddenly flew out.

Immediately after, a figure flew out of the cave, rose to a height of two or three meters, and landed steadily on the ground.

The mercenary squad all froze, then hastily raised their gun barrels toward the figure.

"Don't... don't shoot!" Ning Hai's voice rang out immediately.

Several people were stunned again, then quickly shone the flashlight on it.

Only Ning Hai could be seen struggling to poke his head out of the cave, extending a hand and saying, "Don't just stand there, damn it, come pull me out, my foot seems stuck!"

"Mr. Ning? You're still alive?" the mercenary captain exclaimed in surprise, immediately bringing a team member over to help.

The remaining mercenaries continued to guard against the figure that had just leapt out.

With the help of two mercenaries, Ning Hai was pulled out of the cave, one hand still tightly clutching the black sphere from the underground laboratory.

"At last... at last I'm out..." Ning Hai gasped heavily, a layer of white mist rising inside his mask.

If it weren't for needing to guard against nuclear radiation, he really wanted to take off his helmet and shout loudly.

Needless to say how exhilarated he felt after surviving; what's more exciting is that he not only witnessed the opening of the Time-Space Gate in person, but also brought back a person who had walked out of it, and moreover, the key device capable of opening the Time-Space Gate was not lost.

"Here, take it." Ning Hai handed the black sphere to the mercenary captain, "This thing is too heavy; I can't really hold it, don't lose it, otherwise you won't get your pay."

The mercenary captain smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Ning."

Ning Hai limped over to a few mercenaries, pushed aside their shoulders, "Alright, alright, put your guns down."

"Mr. Ning," a mercenary said nervously, "he seems able to fly... is he human?"

"Of course he's human!" Ning Hai replied, "He's someone I met down below; we're bringing him out together."

The mercenary captain questioned doubtfully, "Could he have been hiding in the nuclear power plant all along, enduring heavy nuclear radiation, causing a mutation?"

Ning Hai laughed, "Hahaha! What mutation? That's martial arts, kung fu, you get it?"

The mercenaries were completely baffled, but Ning Hai had no time to explain further.

"You're Lu Xingfeng, right?" Ning Hai walked up to him, "Those few people just now are all my companions; don't cause trouble, just come with us."

Lu Xingfeng shook his head, "I want to stay here."

Ning Hai said, "You're crazy? Staying in this ghost place! This is a human forbidden zone!"

"Human forbidden zone?" Lu Xingfeng frowned, "This place is clearly full of spiritual energy, which helps cultivate internal skill—how could it be a forbidden zone?"

Ning Hai finally realized that the spiritual energy this guy kept talking about probably referred to nuclear radiation.

Unexpectedly, the guy who walked out of the Time-Space Gate is not only unaffected by nuclear radiation, but can actually use it to train.

There is too much to study on him.

He must be taken away!

But considering he indeed possesses martial arts like special abilities in movies, it wouldn't be good to force him; so Ning Hai coaxed, "Places with spiritual energy aren't limited to here; I can also give you more spiritual energy—you can have as much as you want!"

"Is that really true?!" Lu Xingfeng's face filled with shock.

Ning Hai said solemnly: "No lies! It's just nuclear radiation energy, right? I'll take you to the nuclear test base later and let you suck enough."

"Nuclear radiation... energy?" Lu Xingfeng repeated blankly.

Ning Hai put an arm around his shoulder, saying: "Brother, I've figured it out—you must have come from ancient times. Judging by your looks and speech, you're almost certainly of the same race as me; I won't lie to you. Moreover, don't you want to know what kind of world this is?"

"Hmm... I actually feel we get along exceptionally well." Lu Xingfeng nodded, lost in thought.

Ning Hai continued: "If you stay here by yourself, what's the difference from a savage? I'll take you out, first heal your wounds and illnesses, then give you good food, drink, and clothing—you'll surely thank me then."

"Right, let me give you something to eat first, otherwise you still won't believe."

Ning Hai finished speaking, took some chocolate the mercenaries carried on their person from their hands, unwrapped the packaging, and handed it to Lu Xingfeng.

Lu Xingfeng had been somewhat wary, but upon smelling the chocolate's aroma, he couldn't help but take a big bite.

The next second, his face showed shock: "What is this? It's so sweet and delicious!"

"Do you like eating it?" Ning Hai said, "Tell you, this stuff is just what mercenaries use to replenish energy during missions; for ordinary people it's pretty hard to stomach, I can take you to eat something even sweeter and more delicious."

Lu Xingfeng smacked his lips, still wanting more, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Ning."

Ning Hai waved his hand, "All right, while it's still dark, let's leave quickly! Then we'll go back to M Guo together!"

A long night passed.

The experts rescued from the Kuchiboerg Nuclear Power Plant ruins by Ning Jinli have been properly settled, and the rescue team members have also reported the situation to Shangguan Ying.

Considering the situation too extraordinary, Shangguan Ying classified the entire process as highly confidential, strictly forbidding the few experts and rescue team members from leaking it outward.

And after obtaining Shangguan Ying's consent, Ning Jinli decided to bring her parents over.

She had already succeeded in transporting living people, so it was time to let her father and mother return to this world's side.
