I Contracted Myself-Chapter 79 – Looking for someone
Base 08.
In the cafeteria hall, Lu Han paced back and forth, unable to sit or stand still.
"It's been more than half a day, why hasn't Zhang Ping come back yet?" he said worriedly, his mind in turmoil.
Zhang Shouzhong, munching on a compressed energy bar, quipped, "Senior Lu, you're only worried now? What were you doing earlier?"
"…"
Lu Han remained silent.
Because of his pride, he had watched Zhang Ping leave without saying a word. Now, it was too late to regret.
Cheng Xuejie, lying on the table, said, "Since Old Zhang's fat energy has returned, it means Zhang Ping's plan didn't go too wrong. Maybe he got delayed by something."
"No, I have to go find him. What if he's in danger and needs help?" Lu Han said, biting his lip with worry.
Liu Sishan spoke up, "Wait, let me go. If you go, Senior Lu, and Zhang Ping returns, we'll have to spend time looking for you. It's better if I go; Zhang Ping can find me."
"I'll go too. Zhang Ping can find me as well. I don't feel comfortable with you going alone," Cheng Xuejie insisted.
Zhang Shouzhong stood up, "How about I go too? I'm just sitting around anyway."
"Then that would leave only Senior Lu to guard the place. You stay," Cheng Xuejie opposed, giving Zhang Shouzhong a meaningful look.
Receiving her look, Zhang Shouzhong glanced at Lu Han and then sat back down, "Alright, I'll stay with Senior Lu to guard the place, in case Zhang Ping comes back and can't find anyone."
He understood Cheng Xuejie's intention.
If only Lu Han were left at the base, he would likely overthink things.
If Lu Han waited for a while and didn't see anyone return, he might act on his own.
So someone needed to stay to keep him steady.
"Let's go," Cheng Xuejie said to Liu Sishan.
...
On the other side.
At the agreed meeting place between Zhang Ping and Bai De.
Feng Laixian and Bai De sat on a rock, alert to their surroundings while waiting for Zhang Ping.
"Well, what a coincidence, meeting here of all places."
At that moment, a living corpse slowly approached, its face writhing and gradually transforming into Zuo Xiangming's.
Behind the living corpse was a group of black-clothed people, with Guan Hongying standing in the middle, frowning, "Zuo Xiangming, don't complicate things."
"Relax, I won't break my promise. This place is close to the person you're looking for. If you take these two down, I'll waive one of the three conditions you agreed to. How about that?" Zuo Xiangming said leisurely, looking back at Guan Hongying.
In their last cooperation, although he didn't get Situ Shibai's body, Li Aoxue compensated him with the body of a powerful sea beast.
Since then, not only the mainland but even the sea became his hunting ground.
That's why he was willing to continue cooperating with Li Aoxue.
This time, he didn't come in person but remotely controlled three living corpses to help Guan Hongying find someone.
Of course, this help wasn't free; Guan Hongying had promised him three conditions.
"Deal!"

Guan Hongying glanced at Feng Laixian and agreed.
She recognized Feng Laixian.
If it weren't for Feng Laixian's interference, Wu Ruoyu wouldn't have died.
Wu Ruoyu, the master of Lieyang Martial School, was as strong as her and was a top expert she had personally recruited, only to be lost to the Tianchang Fox. She was heartbroken.
"Attack!"
Feng Laixian wasn't in great shape and didn't want complications at this time.
But seeing that things couldn't be resolved peacefully, he shouted and grabbed a rock, hurling it towards Zuo Xiangming and the others.
Bai De, beside him, stepped back with ape-like agility, darting into the nearby forest. Guan Hongying immediately ordered her subordinates, "Chase him, don't let him escape."
With that, she shattered the rock thrown by Feng Laixian with a punch.
"Aunt Hongying, you're amazing!"
The petite female black-clothed person clapped her hands in admiration.
Guan Hongying took a deep breath and charged at Feng Laixian. As soon as they clashed, she realized his strength was no less than hers.
"I'll help too!"
Zuo Xiangming said with a sinister smile.
The petite female black-clothed person muttered, "Sir, don't you think you sound like a villain from a novel?"
"Little girl, keep talking and I'll turn you into a living corpse!" Zuo Xiangming glared at her, his voice menacing.
She quickly bowed, "Sorry, I won't dare next time."
"Hmph."
Zuo Xiangming snorted coldly but didn't act against her, instead directing his anger towards Feng Laixian, controlling the other two living corpses to join the fight.
This time, Zuo Xiangming brought only three living corpses, the most important being the one he mainly controlled, which had the ability called 'Soul Chaser.'
With just a trace of breath, this living corpse could track its target anywhere.
The other two had abilities called 'Space Confusion' and 'Black Gold Armor.'
'Space Confusion' disrupted space within a certain range, causing attacks to hit unintended targets.
Unfortunately, this living corpse had been only a high-level Awakener before death, so its power was limited. Otherwise, it could have been one of his Four Heavenly Kings. (The Four Heavenly Kings is a position, though there are actually eight living corpses.)
During the living corpse siege, Zuo Xiangming had sent his strongest corpses to attack the other three walls.
If he had concentrated all his forces on the southern wall, Feng Laixian wouldn't have been able to hold.
This time, he brought one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Black King Li Kuida.
Li Kuida wasn't a resident of Mingzhu City but came from a warlike village called Beast Fury Village.
He could completely metalize his body, gaining immense defense and attack power.

When Zuo Xiangming attacked Beast Fury Village to replenish his living corpses, Li Kuida alone killed a third of his forces, making it a costly operation.
The only consolation was that Li Kuida became even stronger as a living corpse.
As Feng Laixian fought Guan Hongying, a black fist suddenly appeared and struck his jaw.
Crack!
His jaw shattered, teeth flying out.
But Feng Laixian didn't care about the injury.
He quickly retreated, dodging Guan Hongying's lethal punch, and scanned the two living corpses.
That punch had appeared too mysteriously.
He hadn't sensed anyone approaching, and suddenly a fist was in his face, giving him no time to dodge.
"The fist was black, so it must have been the one that hit me. The ability must come from the other corpse!"
Feng Laixian glanced at Li Kuida, whose body was covered in black metal, his fist still stained with blood. Then he looked at the other, unclothed female living corpse.
Clearly, it was a coordinated attack between the male and female corpses that led to the unavoidable punch.
