I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

At this moment, Li Zhengzheng stood in front of Jiahao, his face full of anxiety and solemnity.

He looked at the small figure protected by the golden dragon, wanting to say something.

"roar--"

A deep, warning dragon roar came from Jiahao's throat.

Those pure golden dragon eyes coldly locked onto Li Zheng, and the overwhelming pressure made his heart tighten.

This dragon... was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

He had no doubt...

If I take one more step forward, I will be torn to shreds in an instant!

As for Fan Yue, she had already disappeared.

It's likely that it tore open a space and escaped while Jiang Luo was downstairs.

Jiang Luo looked somewhat surprised when she saw Li Zheng.

"You...you're not dead?"

When Li Zheng saw Jiang Luo return, he breathed a sigh of relief, but a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"No, the moment I sensed something was wrong, I used my spatial abilities to teleport myself, your parents, and the Xu family to the detection room of the [Abyss Watcher]."

"There is the power of the traveler protecting you there, which can temporarily evade their detection until you return."

Li Zheng speaks very quickly, but his words are clear and logical.

He took a breath, and his eyes dimmed.

"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the confrontation between Director Zhao and that guy named Tiebi to send Miss Lu Yao and Xu Niannian over as well."

"But I didn't expect that iron wall... it was too fast. The speed at which it broke through the [Illusory Decree] illusion was also beyond my imagination..."

"And he showed absolutely no mercy, even to those who had made enormous contributions to humanity and were the highest leader of the city's Extraordinary Bureau..."

At this point, Li Zheng's voice carried an undisguised sadness.

But he quickly composed himself and continued.

"What I didn't expect was that Nian Nian... was actually a ferocious beast..."

"When this child was about to be in danger, I was prepared to rush out and risk my life to save her, but thankfully... you came back at the most critical moment."

Jiang Luo fell silent after hearing Li Zheng's words.

At this moment, a rare warmth welled up in that furious heart.

He looked at Li Zheng, and after a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out two words.

"Thanks."

Regardless of what this man named Li Zheng was after.

But at the most dangerous moment, he did not choose to run away, but instead stepped in to protect his parents, as well as Uncle Xu and Aunt Su.

For that reason alone, he should say "thank you".

He remembered this favor!

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Jiang Luo to thank him.

He immediately waved his hand, his expression turning anxious again.

"Never mind that, just get your dragon out of the way."

"I need to get Niannian to get treatment right away. Although quite a few people have died in the hospital, most of the medical equipment is still intact."

"Furthermore, several doctors and nurses who worked on the top floor hid in the testing room immediately and were not affected."

"As long as the equipment and personnel are available, saving Niannian shouldn't be a problem!"

Jiang Luo nodded upon hearing this.

He gave Jiahao the instructions.

Jiahao's enormous dragon body then slowly retreated, making way for him.

Without further hesitation, Li Zheng immediately stepped forward and carefully picked up the small figure on the ground, who was covered in blood and had already fainted.

His movements were very gentle, as if he were afraid that if he used even the slightest force, he would break the fragile life in his arms.

Holding Xu Niannian in his arms, Li Zheng quickly walked towards the testing room of the [Abyss Watcher].

Jiang Luo did not follow immediately.

He turned around and walked to the ward door that was badly dented from the impact.

He stretched out his little hand and gave it a gentle push.

The heavy metal door opened silently inward.

The ward was completely silent.

Lu Yao lay quietly on the hospital bed, connected to various complex life-support machines. The fluctuating lines and numbers on the screen were the only proof that she was still alive.

Jiang Luo said to Jiahao behind him, "Jiahao, now's the time to save her."

Jiahao let out a deep dragon roar, transformed into a golden light, and rushed over in an instant.

It radiated golden light, and countless golden particles were gradually entering Lu Yao's body.

In an instant, the data on the life support equipment screens on the hospital bed began to rise rapidly at a visible speed, and then gradually stabilized.

Jiang Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then looked at the eerie child floating to the side.

"You stay here."

"No one, nothing, is allowed near this ward, understand?"

The ghost child immediately straightened its pale body as if in salute, but unfortunately it had no limbs.

"Don't worry, Dad!"

"I'll handle it perfectly! I won't let anyone or anything interfere with Jiahao's dad's work!"

It said in a firm tone.

Jiang Luo ignored him and turned around to follow Li Zheng.

……

The testing room of the Abyss Watcher.

When the heavy metal door opened, the scene inside surprised Jiang Luo slightly.

This place has been temporarily converted into a small shelter and first aid center.

Besides his parents, Uncle Xu, and Aunt Su, there were a dozen or so ordinary people who looked like patients or their families, huddled in a corner, still looking shaken.

Several doctors and nurses in white coats were busily and methodically treating the wounds of people with minor injuries.

Every face was filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and the uncertainty about the future.

Upon seeing Li Zheng carrying a little girl covered in blood as he entered, the oldest-looking doctor immediately came forward to greet him.

"Quick! Get him to the emergency room!"

Li Zheng carefully handed Xu Niannian over to the doctor, watching as she was surrounded by a group of nurses and taken to the innermost part of the room, a temporary emergency area separated by several huge screens.

After finishing all this, Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall by the door, looking exhausted.

Beside him stood a man who looked very young, with his eyes closed, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, and his face somewhat pale.

Seeing Jiang Luo walk in, Li Zheng pointed to the young man beside him and introduced him.

"Jiang Luo, this is Wang Chao, one of my most important team members."

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Chao opened his eyes.

His eyes were just very complicated.

There was fear, there was curiosity, but more than anything, there was an indescribable awe.

He never imagined that so many earth-shattering events would occur while he was simply recovering at the Extraordinary Hospital.

Even more unexpectedly, this strange child...

actually……

It was such a terrifying existence... beyond words!

Of course, this was their first meeting, and they were not familiar with each other.

After exchanging nods as a greeting, a brief silence fell over the corridor.

In the end, it was Li Zheng who broke the silence first.

He looked at Jiang Luo, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.

"Jiang Luo, can you... tell me what you plan to do next?"

Jiang Luo raised her eyelids and glanced at him.

"What do you mean by asking this?"

A smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on Li Zheng's face.

"Director Zhao... treats me like a brother, and I feel the same way. We are not just superior and subordinate, but comrades-in-arms who fight side by side and can entrust our backs to each other."

"Watching him, and Qu Feng and the others... die right in front of me, it would be a lie to say I wasn't heartbroken..."

The reason he chose to save people first, instead of rushing out to fight the iron wall, was that...

Is it because you're afraid of dying?

No.

It's because he knows very well that he has more important things to do!

"The reason I chose to save your parents first was that I didn't want to push you to the opposite side of humanity."

"I don't want you to truly become... a real cataclysmic disaster."

"But now..."

Li Zheng's gaze swept over the small shelter and over the faces of those still in shock.

Finally, the blame returned to Jiang Luo.

His eyes no longer held the struggle and hesitation of before, but only a kind of almost insane determination.

"After seeing Director Zhao and the others, as well as those innocent doctors and nurses downstairs, die so tragically in front of me, I didn't want any more."

"I only beg you, for the sake of me just now... saving your family, please help avenge Director Zhao and the others!"
