Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I’ll Take Them Down!

Chapter 1978: Little Lin!

Only to see that the originally majestic and grand Black Sand City was now utterly ruined.

The city walls, over three hundred meters high, had also caved in for the most part.

Inside the city, there were wails everywhere.

The once bustling stores were now deserted.

As for the terrifying swarm of flying ants, they were nowhere to be seen. It seemed they had been repelled or completely eradicated.

Yet the price Black Sand City paid was painfully high.

However, upon seeing this, Zhou Yu felt a bit relieved.

Now, the situation was much safer than he had imagined.

Que’er also saw the misery within the city, her face filled with urgency.

"How... how did it come to this?"

"Mr. Liu and the others..."

"Brother Zhou, do you think they’re still alive?"

Zhou Yu shook his head.

"I don’t know."

"But we’ll know after we go in and check."

"Alright, alright, let’s hurry in." Que’er said anxiously.

Zhou Yu nodded, then picked up Que’er, striding swiftly towards the city.

Yet as Zhou Yu had only taken a couple of steps, suddenly he heard a child’s cry from the side.

Frowning, Zhou Yu looked toward the sound.

With a glance, he immediately found where the cry was coming from.

About a hundred meters away from him, there was a small mound.

Underneath the mound, there was a child partially buried in the sand, only his head exposed.

And at that moment, above the child, were three flying ants, continuously attacking him.

However, it seemed the child had some sort of protective item on him.

The three flying ants, reaching barely half a meter from the child, were blocked by a transparent barrier.

Yet it was evident that the barrier wouldn’t hold much longer.

It could shatter at any moment.

Once it did, the child would surely die.

As Zhou Yu saw this scene, Que’er also noticed.

Seeing the child, Que’er’s expression changed.

"Is it him?"

"Little Lin!"

Zhou Yu was startled.

"You know him?"

Que’er hurriedly said:

"Brother Zhou, Little Lin is the City Lord’s grandson."

"I saw him at the City Lord Mansion when we were handing over supplies."

"Why is he here alone?"

"And surrounded by those terrifying flying ants."

"Brother Zhou, can you save him?"

"Please!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu sighed.

He originally didn’t want to interfere.

But now it seemed there was no choice but to save him!

Thinking this, Zhou Yu immediately put Que’er down, then he dashed straight towards the three flying ants.

As Zhou Yu took action, the child’s protective barrier shattered instantly.

The three flying ants made excited shrieking sounds and then charged toward the child.

However, at that moment, a terrifying punch volleyed.

The three flying ants, exceptionally sensitive to danger, let out a strange cry and attempted to flee.

But in front of Zhou Yu, they had no chance to escape.

Bang!

In an instant, Zhou Yu shattered the three flying ants with a single punch.

Afterward, without even glancing at them, he appeared beside the child.

He stared at the sand-buried child.

The child also stared back at him.

At this moment, Zhou Yu realized that though the child seemed somewhat frightened, he remained composed.

Which was quite incredible for his age.

Zhou Yu studied the child for a moment, found nothing unusual, then pulled him out from the sand.

"Are you alright?"

Zhou Yu asked.

The child shook his head.

"I... I’m alright!"

At this moment, Que’er also rushed over.

"Little Lin, Little Lin, are you okay?"

"Nothing happened?"

Seeing Que’er, Little Lin seemed to recognize her, he shook his head again and said,

"Sister, I’m okay!"

Que’er quickly checked him over and found that Little Lin was indeed alright, finally putting her mind at ease.

"Little Lin, where’s your grandpa?"

"Why are you here alone?"

Little Lin shook his head and said:

"I don’t know either."

"I was playing outside secretly, and then those terrifying monsters charged in. I wanted to hide, but got discovered by them."

"Later, someone tried to take me out of the city, but halfway, those monsters found us."

"Afterward, I have no idea where they went either."

"They just left me here."

Hearing this, Que’er hurriedly comforted him:

"It’s okay, don’t be afraid, Little Lin, sister will take you to find your family."

Little Lin nodded.

"Thank you, sister."

Zhou Yu watched the two talk beside him.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Little Lin, feeling something was off.

But couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was wrong.

Anyway, this Little Lin wasn’t as simple as he seemed.

Zhou Yu was somewhat regretting intervening.

But since things had come to this, he couldn’t very well leave him here.

Fine.

Take him back to the city, hand him over to the City Lord Mansion, and this matter will be over.

Thus, Zhou Yu immediately said:

"Since there’s no problem, let’s head into the city!"

"Okay."

Que’er held Little Lin’s hand, following closely behind Zhou Yu.

The three of them hastened towards the city.

About half a day later, Zhou Yu took Que’er and Little Lin and finally arrived at the ruined Black Sand City.

Feeling the smell of rotting corpses and blood being emitted from the city, Que’er beside Zhou Yu turned pale and nearly vomited.

Zhou Yu immediately extended his hand, giving Que’er a light tap, and in that instant, Que’er felt much better.

Que’er quickly looked at Zhou Yu.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yu waved it off, then glanced at Little Lin again.

Only to find, the child showed no change, as if entirely unaffected by the eerie smells and scenes.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but feel dubious once more.

But he didn’t say anything further.

"Miss Que’er, do you have a predetermined meeting place, where can we find Mr. Liu and the others?"

Que’er tilted her head to think for a moment, and soon her eyes brightened.

"That’s right, I remember now."

"There’s a safe place in the east of the city, Mr. Liu told me before that if anything urgent happened, we could hide there."

"It’s protected by a formation, if they’re all alive, they’ll certainly be there."

"That’s good. Miss Que’er, lead the way, please."

Que’er looked around, then determined the direction.

"Follow me!"

Que’er walked in front, Zhou Yu and Little Lin followed.

Unexpectedly, Little Lin clung closely to Zhou Yu, even holding onto Zhou Yu’s sleeve.

Zhou Yu glanced down, an odd look flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t mind, allowing Little Lin to hold on.

With Que’er leading, the three soon arrived at an inconspicuous small yard on the east side of the city.

At the yard’s entrance, Zhou Yu inspected the place, and a glint crossed his eyes.

"There’s indeed a formation here, and it’s intact."

Upon hearing this, Que’er looked excited.

She was about to head in immediately.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward, pulling Que’er back.

Are you kidding? There’s a protective formation here; you can’t just rush in.

Yet at the moment Zhou Yu pulled Que’er back,

Inside the yard, a chilling wind suddenly attacked Zhou Yu without warning...
