"Are all these zombies on the ground killed by you? Are you a power-type ability user? What is your level?" The person looked at the zombie corpses behind Lu Heng, it seemed that Lu Heng had been hacking through zombies with a long saber.
"I don't see why I need to tell you?" Lu Heng pulled Lin Xue and prepared to turn away.
He wanted to join these people to understand the situation here, but the few people opposite him kept questioning him, which made Lu Heng very uncomfortable.
"Wait a moment, we are from a nearby shelter. Why don't you follow us? We'll bring you along when we go back later." Another man in the group said to Lu Heng.
"No need, we don't plan to team up for now."
Although more people would compensate for combat power, Lu Heng did not need to team up with others now. Following that group would only be a burden to him.
"Brother Li, you don't need to be so kind. They don't need us at all. Didn't you see they killed so many zombies by themselves..."
Lu Heng pulled Lin Xue and turned to leave. Unknowingly, a woman behind him began to persuade her companion, her words a bit sharp and sarcastic.
Continuing in the chosen direction, he killed every zombie he encountered with a single saber strike.
Even when the occasional number of zombies was a bit large, Lu Heng would still only hack at them with his saber. Almost the instant Lu Heng approached the zombies, they were all killed. His speed and saber strokes were so fast that others couldn't even catch a glimpse.
"Let's go."
Lu Heng waved to Lin Xue, who was lagging behind. Lin Xue nodded stiffly and walked towards Lu Heng.
Soon, they found the nearby shelter.
"Stop, where are you from?"
Outside the shelter, Lu Heng stopped. In a factory area ahead, several burly men stood inside the iron gate and called out to Lu Heng and his companion.
"Oh, we're from out of town, just passing through. Is this a shelter?"
"You walked here like this?" The person asked Lu Heng, also somewhat incredulously.
"No, our car broke down outside the city, so we wanted to come into the city to see if there was any transportation."
"So you want to come in now? We charge crystals for accommodation here." The person looked at Lin Xue and said to Lu Heng.
"Alright, we haven't found a usable car yet, so we'll probably stay here for a few days."
Hearing Lu Heng say this, the person looked them over again. "You don't have any external injuries, do you? You'll need to be examined if you come in."
"Is it that troublesome? However, we really don't have any injuries. But you'll need to find a woman to examine my sister, and she's always been unwell, just a normal person."
"Okay, then come in for the examination first. We'll talk about the rest if there are no problems."
The person opened a small door, only wide enough for one person to pass, and let Lu Heng and his companion in.
Lu Heng communicated with Lin Xue with his mind, "Later, pay attention and don't hurt anyone else."
"Understood, Master."
"My sister's eyesight isn't very good either, her vision is very blurry, basically she's blind. Please take good care of her." Lu Heng smiled at the two middle-aged women who came to examine them.
"No problem, we'll take care of her. As long as she doesn't have any wounds."
In fact, it had been quite some time since they spoke at the gate. If Lu Heng and Lin Xue had any injuries from the zombies, they would have already been infected and turned into zombies. However, these people seemed very persistent about checking for external wounds.
Fortunately, both Lu Heng and Lin Xue had special abilities to heal wounds. Not only did they have no wounds, but they didn't even have old scars.
Fortunately, the people who examined them had no ulterior motives. Lu Heng and Lin Xue finished their examinations quickly and were led to a small building.
"You two will register there later. The people inside will tell you the rules."
"Okay." Lu Heng nodded, and the other person turned and left.
βIt seems the management here is decent, and there are no messy people or affairs for now.
After all, in the apocalypse, many shelters in various regions were practically hell on earth.
The strong groups and some individuals, relying on their outstanding abilities within the team, bullied men and women, and wantonly humiliated and trampled on others, all to alleviate the pressure from the zombies in the apocalypse.
But here, whether it was the people who had just examined them or the burly men guarding the gate, Lu Heng didn't hear any dirty thoughts from their hearts.
Pulling Lin Xue into the small building, this was likely the original office building within the factory area. It had three floors in total, but occupied a considerable area.
"We are new here and plan to stay for a while. How much is the charge?"
Behind a desk, a middle-aged woman looked up at Lu Heng. "You two? How many days do you want to stay?"
"We don't know yet. Our car broke down outside the city, so we came into the city to find a vehicle. We might not stay too long, so let's register for a week for now."
"Alright, our rooms are all similar, all converted from factory buildings. Do you want to stay in one room or two separate rooms?"
"We are siblings, and my sister is not in good health. We'll take one room for now."
"One room, twenty level one crystals per week, or eight level two crystals."
Lu Heng took out eight level two crystals from his embrace and placed them on the table. "Are there beds in the room?"
"Yes, there are beds, desks, and chairs, but no bedding. Do you want to buy that too?"
"Not for now, we'll look for some outside later."
"That might be hard to find. The apocalypse has been going on for more than half a year, and the easily accessible supplies nearby are all gone."
"Who can take us to our room? And what is this place called? Are there any rules?"
Afterward, Lu Heng handed the middle-aged woman another level two crystal and obtained a lot of the information he wanted.
This was one of the largest shelters in Wu City. There were about seven or eight shelters left in Wu City, but only three were relatively large and safe. These were based on the regions where the migrant workers came from, forming gangs.
For example, there were many people from Henan here, so naturally, the gangs were named after their regions, the Henan Alliance.
There weren't too many rules in this shelter. Of course, fighting and stealing within the shelter were not allowed. These were the most basic rules everyone had to abide by, and they were meant to prevent riots and maintain the most basic order of the shelter.
"Later, take this key to your rented room. The key has a tag with the room number on it.
The rooms here are easy to find. After you go out, there are many factory buildings behind this small building, but the first factory building has been completely converted into residential housing. You can find your room inside."
