Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 292 Eagerness

Li Zhi sat in Cheng Fengzi's house for a while and the two chatted a lot.

When Li Zhi saw a hint of fatigue on Feng Cheng's face, he took the initiative to say goodbye and no longer disturbed Feng Cheng's rest and recuperation.

After all, Li Zhiqing knew that Cheng Fengzi was still injured and needed more rest.

Cheng Fengzi also understood the situation, and he just told Li Zhi earnestly to have a good rest, and did not try to keep him.

Li Zhi knew that his injuries had not yet healed, and Cheng Fengzi also understood that Li Zhi had just returned from a long journey and had been traveling non-stop all day, so his body must be quite exhausted.

Li Zhi raised his lips slightly, revealing a smile, and said, "In a few days, I will go to Beijing with the captain. Uncle Cheng, is there anything you need me to buy for you?"

When Cheng Fengzi heard this, his eyebrows slightly raised, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked, "You want to go to the capital with the captain?"

Li Zhi nodded and responded, "Yes, I have never been to the capital. It just so happens that I have the opportunity to go with the captain this time to see the capital of Yongguo."

When Cheng Fengzi heard this, his expression became a little complicated and strange. However, he soon returned to normal, with a kind smile on his face again, and said: "That's good, it's always right for young people to go out and explore more."

Li Zhi's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he continued, "I've been working here for so long, but I've never been to the headquarters. I've also been yearning for the Night Tour Bureau treasure house that you mentioned before, Uncle Cheng. I don't know if I can get some useful things in return."

Cheng Fengzi smiled when he heard this. He had known for a long time that Li Zhi had always been looking forward to the treasure house of Yeyousi.

 …

After coming out of Cheng Fengzi’s house, Li Zhi went straight to his own home.

When he returned home and opened the door, he saw Wei Si and Mingyue in the house.

Li Zhi suddenly remembered that he had asked Wei Si to wait for him at his home.

He slapped his forehead lightly, a look of annoyance on his face, and said, "Look at my memory. I almost forgot about this. Let's go out and have something to eat and talk while we eat."

When it comes to familiarity with Minglei City, Wei Si is definitely the most familiar with it.

So, at Wei Si's recommendation, Li Zhi and his friends came to a stall that was only open at night.

There is no curfew in Minglei City, so there are many night markets. What Wei Si recommended is a stall in one of the night markets.

The stall was bustling with people and the air was filled with the tempting aroma of various delicacies.

The three of them found an empty seat, sat down, and ordered some special dishes.

Wei Si was very sensible and poured a glass of wine for Li Zhi and Ming Yue. Wei Si said, "Master Li, please try it. The wine in this restaurant is brewed by themselves. You can't find this taste anywhere else."

Although Li Zhi didn't drink much on weekdays, he became interested after hearing what Wei Si said.

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

A different taste bloomed in his mouth, and Li Zhi's eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "It is indeed a different taste."

After a while, the food they ordered was served one by one, and Li Zhi and his friends ate and chatted.

Li Zhi said to Wei Si: "Brother Wei, I have to go to the capital in a few days. My junior brother has just arrived and is not very familiar with Minglei City. If you can help take care of it in your free time, I will feel more at ease."

Wei Si wiped his mouth, straightened his chest, and said, "Don't worry, Master Li. I, Wei Si, am well-known in Minglei City. Don't worry. With me here, I will definitely not let Brother Mingyue suffer any injustice."

Li Zhi picked up the wine glass in front of him, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I may have some concerns about others, but I am naturally 100% confident in you, Brother Wei. Come, let's clink glasses, just as I thank you in advance."

After saying that, he gently handed the wine glass forward, and it clinked lightly with the glass in Wei Si's hand, making a crisp and pleasant sound, and then he drank it all in one gulp.

After both parties had eaten and drunk their fill, they went back home.

Li Zhi let Mingyue live in his own home, and long before Li Zhi came back, Wei Si, a sensible man, had already taken Mingyue to buy some daily necessities.

After Li Zhi settled Mingyue down, he also washed up and lay down on the bed.

The long journey really made him exhausted. At this moment, as soon as his body relaxed, all kinds of fatigue surged into his heart like a tide.

Li Zhi squinted his eyes comfortably, but his thoughts drifted away involuntarily, and he began to silently recall the various experiences he had gone through along the way.

First of all, the Fantasy World Tree, which was of vital importance to Li Zhi, has now been confirmed not to be in Leizhou. This result was undoubtedly like a heavy stone falling from his heart.

Not only did Li Zhi himself feel relieved, but all the members of the Night Patrol Division C, including Shen Lie, also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the Fantasy World Tree is an extremely dangerous existence, enough to make anyone feel fearful and avoid it. No one is willing to take the initiative to get involved with such a terrible thing.

Li Zhi went to explore this time because he was forced to do so. He was forced to do it against his will.

Now that he had finally completed the mission successfully, he no longer had to worry about this huge potential threat.

Apart from the matter of the Fantasy World Tree, there are matters related to Yeyousi’s archenemy - the Illuminati.

Li Zhi had also witnessed the Illuminati's heinous acts, where they would kidnap and plunder the people of a town at will. This kind of cruel and insane behavior was truly shocking.

Not to mention the powerful strength displayed by Nancuo Wusheng and others at that time. People like them are unscrupulous, act eccentrically, and possess tyrannical strength. Anyone who encounters them will have a headache.

Although the remnants of the Illuminati have been successfully killed, Li Zhi still has an indescribable feeling in his heart. He always feels that things are not that simple, and there seems to be a deeper conspiracy hidden in the dark that has not yet been revealed.

Li Zhi once expressed his concerns in detail to Hong Fan and Shen Lie, and they all showed great attention and vigilance towards the Illuminati.

However, Li Zhi was also very clear in his mind that the territory of Yongguo was vast. If the people from the Illuminati intended to find a place to hide, it would be very difficult to find them, which would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, since the matter had been reported truthfully to Shen Lie and others, Li Zhi no longer dwelled on it too much.

After all, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. With people like Shen Lie who are powerful and in high positions, Li Zhi naturally doesn't have to worry about these things.

Apart from these two things, the most pressing and critical issue for Li Zhi right now is the problem he himself is facing.

The Living Wood Qi that Li Zhi obtained after killing the Black Mountain Monster was almost on the verge of exhaustion due to frequent use and consumption during this period.

The most intuitive manifestation of this change is his hair, which is now turning increasingly gray. Li Zhi also senses that his vitality is rapidly fading away.

Li Zhi knew very well that if he did not find something with wood or fire energy in time to reactivate the heart fire or liver wood, his situation would become increasingly difficult and even his life might be in danger.

To take a step back, even if he cannot obtain wood or fire energy for the time being, if he can get some items that can replenish vitality, it can slightly alleviate his current urgent needs.

This grim situation made Li Zhi even more anxious about the upcoming trip to the capital. He secretly hoped that he could find solutions and opportunities to solve his own problems in the capital.
