When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1239 - 809: Trap

Under the organization of the law enforcement officers, people on the street were being evacuated in an orderly manner. Lu Zhiwei was also maintaining order, personally intervening only when someone refused to leave as instructed.

"Elderly and children first, the rest, please step back. There’s no need to push; we won’t leave anyone behind!"

Lu Zhiwei was both arranging the evacuation and searching house by house. The street quickly emptied, but there were still many holdouts, most of whom were elderly, unwilling to leave their old homes. These people required patient persuasion from the law enforcement officers.

However, as she turned the corner towards another house, she suddenly sensed something and frowned.

There were two shadowy figures peeking around in front of an empty house. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Hey, what are you two doing? The third wave of beast attacks is about to hit. Why aren’t you evacuating?"

Lu Zhiwei walked towards the two, only to discover upon getting closer that they were wearing the clothing of pioneers.

Two pioneers!

"Hello, my name is Xu Chiyuan, a pioneer from the eleventh squad of the Tranquil Domain Pioneering Department."

Xu Chiyuan pointed to the nameplate on his clothing to indicate his identity.

"Hu Jiudie."

Hu Jiudie’s tone was very aloof, but at least it wasn’t as annoying as before. In her eyes, speaking politely to this group of weak humans was simply an insult to her noble status. She was already restraining herself.

After confirming their identities, Lu Zhiwei said, "Hello, I am Lu Zhiwei, Deputy Captain of the Liangzhou City Guard Corps."

"We know you," Xu Chiyuan said with a big smile.

"You know me?"

"Haha, the famous prodigy Lu Zhiwei, an S-level awakener who reached the orifice transforming stage before the age of thirty. Your reputation precedes you, it’s a great honor!"

Xu Chiyuan spoke very politely, his demeanor warm and pleasant, not giving anyone a negative impression.

"Oh, I see."

Lu Zhiwei nodded slightly. She was indeed very well-known in the alliance now. Not only her, but her father Lu Hong was also famous in the alliance because it was quite an achievement for an S-level awakener to reach even the God Refining stage in their lifetime. Both she and her father broke the records in Jiuzhou, thanks to Xiang Beifei.

"Shouldn’t you be assisting the defenders at the front lines against the beast attacks?" Lu Zhiwei asked.

When the beast attacks hit, the city defenders are responsible for protecting city safety, while the pioneers must assist the defenders in repelling the beast attacks. The division of labor is very clear.

Lu Zhiwei actually also wanted to fight at the frontline, but she understood the importance of her job, for if the frontline couldn’t hold, the city defenders were the second line of defense, so every role was significant.

"Before the beast attacks hit, we had just returned from a mission in the wilds of the Tranquil Domain. We assisted in resisting the first wave of beasts earlier and were then instructed to rest," Xu Chiyuan explained.

"Then what are you doing here?" Lu Zhiwei asked.

"We specifically came to find you."

"Find me?" Lu Zhiwei didn’t recall having any connections with the pioneers.

"It’s like this." Xu Chiyuan looked around and lowered his voice, "You know Mr. Xiang Beifei, right?"

"Xiang Beifei!"

Lu Zhiwei, upon hearing this name, reflexively raised her head. She knew the name so well, so well that she wanted to grab his ear and loudly demand to know where he had been for the past eight years!

She quickly asked, "Of course I know him. What’s happened to him?"

Xu Chiyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I mentioned earlier, before the beast attacks, we were executing a mission in the Tranquil Domain. We were scouting the situation when we approached the Northern District of the Essential Domain..."

Northern District of the Essential Domain!

Lu Zhiwei was startled once again!

She knew very well about this place now. She had specifically sought connections to understand Xiang Tianxing’s records to know Xiang Beifei’s whereabouts. At that time, in the limited records on Xiang Tianxing, it was noted that he disappeared while on a mission in the Northern District of the Essential Domain.

In other words, if Xiang Beifei went to find his parents, he would certainly head to this place!

"And then?" Lu Zhiwei asked eagerly.

Seeing her reaction, Xu Chiyuan realized they had grasped something of her psychology. As Wu Yiming’s information suggested, this girl’s simplicity made her approachable when the subject related to Xiang Beifei.

"We encountered many powerful desolate beasts in the Northern District of the Essential Domain, horrifying beasts there. We were heavily injured and had nowhere to run, so we hid in a cave. Just when we thought we were doomed, someone saved us."

"Who saved you, was it Xiang Beifei?" Lu Zhiwei asked excitedly.

"Yes, it was him! More specifically, it was a consciousness he left behind. He had set up a special formation there, similar to a pioneering point, which saved us. Then he told us a few things." Xu Chiyuan deliberately used a mysterious tone.

"What did he say?" Lu Zhiwei asked hurriedly.

Xu Chiyuan and Hu Jiudie exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and said, "I can’t tell you."

Lu Zhiwei was stunned, "Why not?"

"Sorry, Mr. Xiang Beifei mentioned that this matter is very important and related to his parents. He instructed us to inform only his grandfather and no one else. As he saved our lives, we must honor his request for confidentiality."
