The Great Worm Lich

Chapter 630: Falling into the Trap

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a barren world constituted by deserts and a small number of oases, the most scarce was not energy, but food and fresh water.

Therefore, theoretically, an experimental farm invested and built by an outstanding biological genius that might be able to change the future of the entire Noah to a certain extent would naturally be more meaningful than community labor.

When Lili heard that her son had an important thing to do, of course, she would not force him to participate in community service anymore. Instead, she asked with concern, “Baby, do you think it is possible to plant cotton fields in the desert?”

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert oasis could go up to several dozens of degrees. After the war broke out on Earth, natural cotton textiles had gradually become extremely scarce in the Noah World.

“Who knows, mom! Even though cotton doesn’t like moist areas, it can’t survive on sand either. I plan to modify the cotton species and the herbage, but it’s still not known whether I can succeed or not...” Before Zhang Lisheng could finish his words, a series of ringing sound resonated from his pocket without warning.

He took out his phone and looked at it for a while. At once, his face slowly turned solemn as he said in a low voice, “I’ve just received a message. The expedition team sent by LS to Mexico to collect fine breeds has also returned to Noah. They’ve obtained some pieces of information on Stephen. It’s said that he is now the backbone of Robinson’s Arrow, a civil armed group that resists invaders from other worlds. Adolf, the leader of the expedition, did not see Stephen himself but has passed a message to him through a middleman, expressing his intention to bring him to Noah, but Stephen refused.”

“Why? Why would Stephen refuse to come to Noah World? The Earth is so dangerous now ...” Lili could not help but exclaim loudly with her eyes turning wide.

The eldest son of the Lavin family could be said as entirely raised by her so he was no different from her biological child. When she heard that Stephen would rather stay on the dangerous Earth to fight against the invaders from another world rather than coming to the safe Noah, she could not help but exclaim in alarm.

Nobody could answer such a question. The relaxed atmosphere on the dining table instantly became solemn. In the end, it was still the head of the Lavin family who stood up and walked up to his wife before patting her shoulder gently consoling her, “Dear, staying on Earth to fight against the invaders is Stephen’s own choice, so we should be proud of his bravery. ”

“Oh Sullo, we do indeed be proud of Stephen. He will be all right! God will bless him!” Sensing the worries and overwhelming emotions conveyed by her husband’s trembling palms that were completely different from his expression on her shoulders, Lili calmed down instead and stroked the back of Lavin’s hand to comfort each other.

Zhang Lisheng understood that the so-called ‘civilian armed groups’ remaining on Earth was almost equal to a gang of anarchist mobs but it was obviously inappropriate for him to tell such a truth at this moment.

He put his mobile phone back in his pocket, and told him mom insincerely, “Mom, Stephen is so smart and he’s even the leader of the organization. The situation must be less dangerous than we think. You and Uncle Lavin will be able to see him safely again eventually. Oh, that’s right, he has also asked the expedition to send a letter. I’ll give it to you at night. ”

“Lisheng, you’ve rescued Michelle and brought back the news of Stephen. I thank you for everything you have done for this family!” Sullo looked up at the young man and said sincerely with gratitude.

“Uncle Lavin, we are a family, aren’t we? This is what I should do.” Zhang Lisheng naturally did what was the most decent thing that he should at this time so he replied with a smile. As it turned out, Lili gave him a hug of relief.

It was already late at this time. After leaving his mother’s arms, the young man bid goodbye and left the house with a big piece of cake.

He gave Lili’s kindness to the raggedly dressed homeless men whose faces were covered with stubbles who had spent a night out on the lawn and walked to the community parking lot not far away.

Halfway, a clear woman’s voice resonated from behind the young man, “Lisheng, wait a minute.”

“Riley, anything?” Zhang Lisheng came to a stop and turned to look at the direction of the sound, before asking the Lavin family’s eldest daughter who ran in a hurry to her.

“Lisheng, Rebecca accidentally slipped and hurt her leg while she was recording a show so the producer asked me to temporarily work overtime. Can you drop me there?” Riley pleaded.

“Of course.” The young man nodded.

“Oh, that’s great! Thank you, my dear brother! Y’know, this is a good opportunity for me. If I do well, I may be promoted to become an assistant producer in advance.” Riley exclaimed excitedly. “Can you go get the car first? I’ll put on my makeup right now and go do my work in my best state later.”

“Alright, I’m glad to help, Riley. I just hope that your colleague named Rebecca will never know how excited you are because of her broken leg.” Zhang Lisheng shrugged and continued walking to the parking lot.

The best single-person vehicle to pass through the sandbank cities would be a powerful horsepower jeep. After coming to New Washington A, the young man abandoned the luxurious SUV and chose a light energy sandy jeep from the Chrysler company.

Even though it was slightly lacking in terms of appearance and comfort, its superior off-road performance and the advantages of never needing to refuel were enough to make up for all the shortcomings.

When the young man drove the square jeep that had a matte appearance covered by soft solar energy storage panels and appeared in front of Riley, the girl who was applying lipstick was startled.

“Oh, Lisheng, I’ve never seen your new car before. To be honest, you’re getting more and more, well, peculiar. This doesn’t seem like a billionaire’s car to me.” The eldest daughter of the Lavin family curled her lips and remarked as she climbed into the front passenger seat of the jeep.

“Even though it’s as inconspicuous as me, this car can run for half a day at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour by just being exposed under the sun for 60 minutes. when I drive it on the desert, at least I don’t have to worry about being sunburned to become a mummy and my petrol running out if I get lost.” The young man casually replied as he entered three letters NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation) on the center console that was made of an entire LCD screen. Then, he started the car and navigated into the highway.

“Ah, so it’s actually such an expensive ‘toy’ with such a unique performance. After listening to your explanation, I think it’s very suitable for billionaires.” Riley curiously touched the unique center console in front of her and turned around to look at the face of her Asian brother who had different parents from her. “Lisheng, you’re much more handsome than you were last time when you were thin. You have an exotic charm now and your appearance is no longer inconspicuous. By the way, are you still dating that rich missy?”

“Tina has been missing for a long time.” The young man murmured after a moment of silence.

“Oh Lisheng, I’m sorry.” Riley was stunned and quickly apologized.

“It’s alright.” Zhang Lisheng smiled, overwhelmed with thoughts. Casually, she asked, “Why would you ask me this suddenly?”

“It’s Aunt Lili. She sees you spending most of your time at home after you came to Noah so she asked me to ask you that ‘do you still have a girlfriend at the moment’ if I have the opportunity to do so. If you don’t, then I should introduce my girlfriends to you. I can see that she wants you to settle down obediently here in Noah World and stop running around going missing or going for adventures. Even though she knows that you won’t really settle down even if you really have a girlfriend in New Washington A, you should still understand the thoughts of a mother.”

After another bout of silence, the young man nodded with mixed feelings and said, “Of course I understand. Riley, of course, I do.”

This great god was at a loss of what to do too in the face of the love of his mother.

“Then do you need me to introduce you to my girlfriends, Lisheng?” Riley asked half-jokingly. “You would only either stay at home or at work. You don’t go to the bar, nor the club, and you’re always so inarticulate in front of unfamiliar girls. Most importantly, you don’t have a sign stating ‘I’m a super-rich fellow’ hung on your forehead so it’s very hard for you to be liked by young girls.”

“I’ll soon be busy after selecting the cotton varieties, so now I’m not in the mood to find a girlfriend. Let’s talk about this next time.” As a god, no matter how much Zhang Lisheng felt gratitude over his mother’s love, he would still not be so bored to the point of starting another new love with a mortal girl. At once, he rejected the offer immediately.

At this time, it just so happened that the jeep had arrived in front of the 60-story broadcast building of NBC Company. The young man hurriedly parked his car under the stairs that were busy with people and said, “We’ve arrived at the TV station. Bye, Riley.”

“It seems you are in a hurry to let me get off. See you then, Lisheng.” Riley shrugged and opened the car door to get out of the car. She entered the crowds and soon disappeared without a trace. Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, turned his car around and drove out of the city.

He turned left and right on the wide, flat road and soon, the barren desert in the distance appeared on the horizon. Without warning, the young man’s phone resonated from his pocket.

He pulled up the incoming call display on the center console and when he saw an unfamiliar number, he casually hung it up. However to his surprise, after more than ten seconds later, his ringtone once again resounded.

“Hello, may I know who is calling?” The young man answered the phone directly this time.

“Is this Dr. Zhang? Good morning, I’m sorry to interrupt you. I’m Philips Edwards, director of the Logistics and Security Bureau of the Department of Defense.” A solemn voice resonated from the mobile phone.

“Logistics and Security Bureau of the Department of Defense?” Just with the name alone, Zhang Lisheng knew that the fish had now been hooked. Suppressing the joy in his heart, he said calmly, “Oh, I’ve dealt with the Department of Defense several times before so I still have a deep impression about your department. But there should not be anything for us to be in contact anymore now. Is there any matter?”

“Dr., I’m very aware of your great contribution to federal security and I have a very important thing to meet with you personally. Can you spare a few minutes for me?”

“Of course Mr. Philips, but today I’m going to the new experimental farm to select the cotton species...”

“Is tomorrow okay, Dr.?”

“Okay. I’ll see you in the lobby of the Ocean Empire Building at 9 am tomorrow then,” Zhang Lisheng vied to be the first to determine the meeting place, at a hotel under his name.

“Alright Dr., I’ll see you tomorrow.” The solemn voice on the phone hesitated for a while and finally agreeing to it.
