Dragging the robot into the high-tech space, without Lu Heng's authorization, the creatures here could not freely enter and exit the several connected spaces.
After Lu Heng dragged the robot back, he returned to the previous world, needing to explore further.
But it was strange, he didn't know how long this place had been abandoned, yet even after such a long time, exploring for so long, Lu Heng hadn't found any remains of creatures.
Looking at the collapsed houses around and the broken roads in the upper space, this place had suffered such heavy attacks, it was impossible for no creatures to have died.
If he could find creature skeletons, he could also take them back for those people to research.
However, after being attacked by that robot, Lu Heng became more cautious in his exploration here.
Outside his spacesuit, he covered himself with another layer of metal plating. He had also seen earlier that the robot couldn't penetrate this special metal immediately.
But with the added layer of metal, his movements here became more inconvenient.
At the place where he had just found the robot, he searched carefully, wanting to see if there were any traces of the robot's movements nearby.
This state of constant danger had elevated Lu Heng's adrenaline; he hadn't felt such a thrill in a long time.
Yes, he didn't feel panicked at the moment, only a sense of excitement.
He was just slightly disappointed that he didn't see any traces of the robot's passage there.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Lu Heng did not enter any buildings.
After all, the building structures here were different from those on Blue Star, and exploring inside would take too much time.
If the entire planet was in such a state of abandonment, and he relied on walking on the ground to explore, it would be a waste of time.
Moving rapidly through the abandoned city, Lu Heng occasionally ascended to mid-air to check his route.
He couldn't see the sun here, and he didn't know what illuminated the entire area.
Time here seemed to have no concept; Lu Heng had to constantly check the time on his phone to estimate how long he had been here.
After spending four days, Lu Heng finally reached the edge of the city.
Looking at the towering city walls ahead, Lu Heng finally understood why he hadn't seen the sun here.
This might not be a naturally formed planet.
However, he still needed to explore to confirm his thoughts.
Looking at the high city walls, Lu Heng did not rashly climb them. Even if abandoned, this area should still have defense systems.
As seen from the robot earlier, they still possessed strong offensive capabilities.
There was a flat isolation zone around the perimeter wall, with no buildings. There were also no tall structures near the isolation zone.
He made a mark by the wall, checked the time on his phone again, and then began walking along the wall, wanting to see how large this enclosed city was.
He almost circled the entire wall, and when he checked his phone again, it had taken him a week to go around it.
During this time, he did not find any gates or passages leading out on the ground, but the style of the wall was not uniform. Some parts were constructed in a very complex manner.
However, the only way to get up now was to climb using vines.
Shaking his head, Lu Heng returned to the real world.
His exploration here could not be too hasty. Although he hadn't encountered any dangerous creatures or robots again, exploring in a spacesuit was too troublesome.
Moreover, the items he brought back would not yield results for the people in the post-apocalyptic world anytime soon.
Lu Heng had already given them many things, but none had shown progress.
During this period, Lu Heng had not left Nameless City when he was on Blue Star.
In the meantime, while replenishing oxygen for his spacesuit, Lu Heng also visited the research center. The exploration of the air composition here by those little mice had not progressed. Although they were all alive, their condition remained listless.
Seeing Lin Yu again, Lin Yu was directing a group of plant-ability users to improve crops at the planting base.
"Brother Lu, I'm taking them to improve some crops, want to come and see?"
"Alright." Lu Heng also wanted to see.
"Brother Lu, the battle reports from the squadrons we sent to other regions recently have been good..."
As they walked, Lin Yu briefed Lu Heng on the current situation of the base.
Nameless City had dispatched over a dozen squadrons to kill zombies and to help regions with survivor populations exceeding ten thousand establish more formal bases.
The existing teams in those regions were too numerous. Besides killing zombies, many teams in different regions would also kill each other for their own interests.
Such regions often developed very slowly. Not only were the survivors' ability levels low, but their numbers were also constantly decreasing due to attrition.
After the apocalypse, the global population was in a state of decline. Without a safe living environment, it was difficult for ordinary people to have children.
Everyone was busy struggling for survival every day, and even if they had intimate relations, they rarely gave birth to children.
After all, no one knew when they would encounter zombies. Being pregnant made it even harder to escape zombie pursuit, and it would also reduce a combat-ready member.
When the people of Nameless City arrived in those regions, they not only had to clear the zombies there but also help eliminate some overly profit-driven individuals.
They helped some regions establish alliance-based bases and connected the cities they passed through.
Currently, with Nameless City as the center, the surrounding towns had formed a network. They exchanged resources with each other, and the population had stabilized relatively, with unnecessary population loss gradually decreasing.
Everyone had also begun to unite against external threats. Besides fighting zombies, they also sent people to Nameless City to purchase crop seeds, planning for long-term survival.
"Mm, well done." After listening to Lin Yu's explanation, Lu Heng was very pleased.
Nameless City, as a pioneer of the post-apocalyptic era, was gradually leading the survivors of various regions to survive in this difficult world.
They brought more hope to people, constantly pushing forward with combat capabilities far exceeding those of zombies.
As long as the number of humans infected by zombies no longer increased, or did not increase significantly, under organized clearing, the zombie population could only be in a state of decline.
"It's time to start continuing human development with Nameless City as the foundation."
"Encourage everyone to have children?"
"Mm, but this also needs to be controlled, to be carried out without reducing the current combat strength."
"Mm, I've noted it down. I'll have them research a plan later."
To increase the birth rate, the rewards for everyone must be more enticing, but they should not be excessively rare items.
