Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 374 Huang Wang, Huang Xiaoxiao

As early as when Li Zhi and his men rushed forward like tigers, the fierce fighting and shouting had already alarmed those who were hiding in the oasis.

However, since the purpose of Li Zhi and others' visit is unclear, it is still unknown whether they are enemies or friends.

They could only watch the movements outside closely and nervously, hiding carefully in the dark and not daring to show up easily.

It was not until Li Zhi and others stood in the oasis that Luo Ming and others, who had been hiding behind them all the way, showed up.

At that moment, their hearts finally settled down, and they realized that Li Zhi and his two companions were friendly forces who came to help, rather than enemies who would make matters worse.

Everyone's tense nerves relaxed instantly, the long-suppressed excitement and joy surged in their hearts, and they ran out impatiently.

A middle-aged man with a handsome face and shrewd and capable eyes walked quickly towards Li Zhi and the others.

Coming in front of Li Zhi and the other two, the man clasped his hands together, bowed, and humbly said, "Greetings, young men! My name is Huang Wang, and I'm the head of the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce. Thank you for your help. If you three need anything, just let me know. I will definitely not be stingy if I can help you."

Huang Wang saluted while looking at Li Zhi and the other two calmly. He had traveled extensively and was a very perceptive person.

Just from the fact that Li Zhi and the other two were wearing the same clothes and standing in the same position, he could tell what was going on.

Li Zhi stood steadily in the middle, with Nangong Wen and Zhang Wenchu guarding him closely on the left and right. This position clearly showed that Li Zhi, who was in the middle, was the leader of the three.

While Huang Wang was secretly observing Li Zhi and the others, Li Zhi was also observing Huang Wang and the others quietly.

Huang Wang was followed by more than a dozen people, all of whom looked haggard, ragged, and had scars on their bodies. Some had messy hair and their eyes were filled with fatigue and fear.

Obviously, he experienced a lot of hardships and sufferings while being surrounded by those monsters.

Li Zhi thought to himself that although these people were hiding in this seemingly safe oasis, they must have been having a very difficult time during these days.

At this time, Luo Ming finally recovered from his shock. He realized that he had not yet introduced Li Zhi and others to Huang Wang, so he hurried forward and said excitedly: "Uncle, these three are from the Yongguo Night Patrol. If they had not helped us in time, I'm afraid all of us would have died!"

When Huang Wang heard this, his body trembled violently and an expression of surprise and joy appeared on his face.

He really didn't expect that the people who came to rescue them were actually from Yongguo. Moreover, Huang Wang was quite knowledgeable. Luo Ming might not know the origin of Yongguo Night Tour Division, but he knew it very well.

The Yongguo Night Patrol Division is very famous in Yongguo. It is a government office that is specifically responsible for dealing with all kinds of mysterious and strange matters. It is said that all its members have unique skills and extraordinary strength.

Huang Wang was filled with awe when he realized this. He quickly bent down and bowed, and his attitude became more respectful: "So you are the master of the Night Tour Department of the Great Country. I was not polite just now, I hope you will not be offended..."

Then, he turned his head slightly and shouted to the crowd behind him: "Come over quickly and salute the three adults!"

Hearing Huang Wang's call, the dozen or so people standing behind him did not dare to slack off at all. They came forward one after another, bowed and thanked Li Zhi and the other two.

Seeing this, Li Zhi quickly waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. We just happened to pass by and helped."

Just then, there was a slight commotion in the crowd, and a graceful figure slowly walked out.

Li Zhi frowned subconsciously and looked in the direction where everyone was looking.

They saw a very beautiful woman walking towards them with light steps.

She has a graceful figure and a light body. Her eyes are full of emotion, just like a flower blooming in spring, delicate and charming.

She came to Li Zhi and the others, leaned forward slightly, bowed, and saluted. Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley: "My humble self, Huang Xiaoxiao, greets the three adults."

Huang Wang smiled even more brightly upon seeing this, and introduced enthusiastically: "My three adults, this is my daughter Huang Xiaoxiao..."

The tone was as if he was showing off a rare treasure.

Luo Ming, who was standing by, saw all of this and instantly understood Huang Wang's intention. He thought to himself that Huang Wang was clearly trying to use his daughter's beauty to trap the three officials from the Yongguo Night Tour Division.

When Luo Ming thought of this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Huang Xiaoxiao was the woman he had admired for a long time. For her, he traveled through mountains and rivers and brought a group of brothers to this dangerous desert.

Along the way, he went through untold hardships. Not only did he almost lose his life, but he also had to watch many of his brothers fall in a pool of blood.

But now, he can only watch his beloved woman flirting with other men. How can he swallow this?

However, the bloody scene of Li Zhi and his two companions killing everyone and monsters on the battlefield still appeared clearly in front of him.

Those monsters were completely powerless against the three men. He knew that Li Zhi and the other two were extremely powerful and that he was no match for them.

This fear made him swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He could only suppress the anger and resentment in his heart, making his face turn red like a ripe tomato. His hands clenched unconsciously, and his joints turned white from the force.

Fortunately, Li Zhi and the other two did not seem to be interested in Huang Xiaoxiao's overtures. Li Zhi just glanced at Huang Xiaoxiao indifferently and then looked away.

Although Huang Xiaoxiao is beautiful and charming, Li Zhi and the other two are not ordinary people and they are shouldering an important mission. Naturally, no one of them would do anything foolish because of her beauty or be hindered by love.

Li Zhi looked around, his eyes as sharp as a torch, taking in all the changes in everyone's expressions.

Then, his expression became stern, and he said in a low voice: "Manager Huang, can you tell me why you are trapped here by these monsters?"

Huang Wang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and a trace of barely perceptible panic flashed across his face. He really didn't expect that Li Zhi didn't mention the reward first, but directly asked about the reason for being besieged.

Huang Wang's expression changed slightly, but his years of experience helped him calm down quickly. He forced a smile and said, "I really don't know. To be honest, our Wanghai Merchants have been traveling in this desert for many years, but this is the first time we have encountered these monsters..."

Li Zhi stared at Huang Wang, a hint of sarcasm slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, he interrupted Huang Wang mercilessly: "Manager Huang, are you treating us like three-year-old children and fooling us at will?"

Li Zhi's light yet weighty words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Huang Wang's heart hard.

Huang Wang was shocked, his face turned pale and red, he waved his hands and stammered, "Why do you say that, sir... How dare I lie to you..."

Zhang Wenchu at the side also smiled, but there was some deep meaning in that smile: "Manager Huang has been in this desert for many years, he must be a well-informed person, he should know what we do in the Night Tour Division on a daily basis. So many monsters are besieging you in groups, if you say there is no trick, it will be strange!"

As soon as Zhang Wenchu finished speaking, the crowd behind Huang Wang suddenly exploded, and there was a burst of uproar. Everyone whispered to each other, their faces full of confusion and worry, and they all cast inquiring glances.

Huang Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to Huang Wang, turned pale instantly when she heard this. Her body trembled slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
