Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

98: She also wanted the superpower to launch ranged attacks with a flick of her wrist.”What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and clean up these stinking house centipedes!” Ai Guosheng shouted dissatisfiedly when he saw everyone staring blankly at him and Li Shilan.

Yan Li said blankly, ”These aren’t house centipedes, they’re centipedes!”

Ai Guosheng’s eyes narrowed, and a cold aura rushed toward them.

The crowd, snapped back to their senses, quickly gripped their weapons and charged at the centipedes with renewed vigor; no one dared to say another word.

After Li Shilan’s Healing, the heavily injured soldiers were all restored to full health, their Superpowers were fully recovered, and they rejoined the battlefield.

The arrival of Ai Guosheng and his wife completely gave everyone hope of defeating the Ancient Centipede.

Only Gu Xiheng narrowed his eyes, wondering to himself how the two of them could have Superpowers, and such powerful ones at that.

Actually, it wasn’t hard to guess. Soon, Gu Xiheng figured out the key: Ai Yue had also been to Xusui Mountain. Since they could discover and find energy stones, then the mysterious Ai Yue could certainly find energy stones as well and bring them back for her parents to use!

”Ai Yue...” Gu Xiheng murmured to himself, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Cheng Siyu, who was closest to him, heard him clearly. Her expression immediately changed. Ai Yue, Ai Yue, Ai Yue again! She gave Ai Guosheng and Li Shilan an unfriendly look.

With the addition of the extremely powerful Ai Guosheng and his wife, the battle soon ended, and a thick layer of Ancient Centipede corpses covered the ground.

The endless centipedes stopped crawling out from underground, and the soldiers were all alive and well after Li Shilan’s Healing.

”Uncle Ai, Aunt Li, thank you both for your help today. If you have any needs in the future, we will certainly fulfill them,” Gu Xiheng said with a face full of gratitude.

Li Shilan didn’t want to speak and remained expressionless throughout. Ai Guosheng gave a chuckle. ”Don’t wait for the future, let’s do it now. I have a request right now.”

Gu Xiheng was taken aback. ”Oh? What request? Please speak freely, Uncle Ai.”

Ai Guosheng said without any politeness, ”I want those transparent stones inside the centipedes!”

Hearing this, the smile on Gu Xiheng’s face became a bit hard to maintain. The underground laboratory had been researching the transparent stones inside the Ancient Centipede but had gained nothing; however, anyone with eyes could tell that the transparent stones were good things.

Gu Xiheng quickly regained his smile. ”Uncle Ai, are these transparent stones something extraordinary? What exactly are they used for?”

Ai Guosheng snorted disdainfully in his heart. Trying to fish for information from me? Hmph!

”They aren’t useful for much, I just think they look nice and want to use them for decoration in the house. Look, when these stones are under the sunlight, they’re colorful and so pretty,” Ai Guosheng lied through his teeth.

”Is that so? They are indeed pretty!” Gu Xiheng said with an unchanging expression.

”Will you give me the stones?” Ai Guosheng asked again.

These were what Ai Yue urgently needed. He would give them to her when she returned, so she might lecture him less because of this.

Gu Xiheng immediately said, ”Of course, I’ll give them all to you. You saved everyone in the entire base just in time.”

”Alright, alright, don’t try to pin such a big label on me. You could have repelled these stinking house centipedes even without us. We didn’t do much, just added the finishing touch. Don’t go around talking nonsense,” Ai Guosheng said with a look of impatience.

Gu Xiheng instantly understood Ai Guosheng and his wife’s meaning; they didn’t want to stand out.

”Alright, Uncle Ai, Aunt Li, I understand. Rest assured, your lives will go on as usual, and no one will disturb you,” Gu Xiheng said.

Li Shilan clearly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words. Ai Guosheng also said with a smile, ”Mm, Xiao Gu, you really are a good lad. Come over for a meal when you have time.”

”I definitely will!”

Having obtained the transparent stones he needed, Ai Guosheng pulled Li Shilan and went home, no longer caring about the messy battlefield.

”Young General, you’re giving all the transparent stones to them? That stuff...”
