The small towns surrounding the wildlife park were primarily focused on tourism, so no survivor teams would come to this area to collect supplies.
More than a month had passed since the apocalypse. If there were any survivors in the town, those capable would have likely left long ago, and those without capability would have certainly been eliminated by zombies.
Therefore, the golden eagle had circled the town just now, and it had not temporarily detected any signs of human activity.
Seeing that the sun was still high, and estimating that there were still a few hours until sunset, Lu Heng decided to continue on foot, harvesting zombies in the vicinity.
He found a pile of electric toys from his space. These were children's toys that, when batteries were installed, could jump and bounce in place and even play music.
These items were inexhaustible in his space, so he was not worried about them running out.
Taking out a toy, Lu Heng installed the batteries and threw it towards an open area in the distance. The toy then began to emit sounds and jump on the ground.
The zombies around the toy, upon hearing the noise, were attracted and gathered around it.
At this moment, Lu Heng, with his pet army, began to harvest those zombies.
Of course, many zombies were also attracted by the scent of living creatures from Lu Heng's side, but they were eliminated by the golden eagle that suddenly appeared overhead long before reaching Lu Heng.
The golden eagle flew high, and the zombies were attracted by the commotion on the ground and the bait. Few zombies paid attention to the situation in the sky.
This created excellent opportunities for the golden eagle to ambush. It almost effortlessly used its wind blades to eliminate the zombies attracted by Lu Heng.
Lu Heng nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his main priority was to contract more mutated animals, so that he could then command these pets to kill, and he could reap the crystals himself.
He just didn't know if it was as he thought, and whether his inability to contract the plant-type rabbit before was related to his ability level.
Fortunately, he had recently advanced two more levels and wondered how many more animals he could contract.
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Heng accelerated his zombie harvesting progress. In two days, relying entirely on his abnormal progress, he quickly cleared out the first town he passed through.
At this time, a considerable pile of crystals had already accumulated on the plaza of Lu Heng's space. These were the crystals he had collected in the past few days. Faint multicolored lights occasionally flashed within the crystals, and Lu Heng knew that there were quite a few special crystals among them, but he hadn't had time to sort them out in the past two days.
Finally, the Director recommended itself. It felt that it couldn't be of much help outside, so it might as well help sort the crystals inside.
Lu Heng was a little surprised when he first heard this. Weren't cats and dogs supposed to see objects in black and white?
Had the mutated cat's perception of colors also changed?
However, since the Director had nothing else to do, it was good to find something for it to do. After all, if it sorted them incorrectly, he could always sort them again himself when he had time.
Lu Heng returned the Director to his space without checking how it was sorting.
Every day, besides taking Fatty Tiger and the other three nature-element mutated animals out to frantically collect crystals, he would return to his space to eat and sleep.
Therefore, under this high-intensity combat, not only did everyone improve their team coordination and combat effectiveness, but the number of crystals collected was also astonishing.
After all, the apocalypse had not descended for long, and there were no teams that could slaughter zombies on a large scale like him at this time.
This was because other ability users were in multi-person teams to kill zombies, and the crystals obtained had to be distributed according to labor. Therefore, the crystals received by each person were not many.
Lu Heng, on the other hand, absorbed crystals alone, but the levels of all contracted mutated animals would also increase. Moreover, he was a multi-element ability user, so his advancement speed was incredibly fast.
Lu Heng did not specifically go to kill zombies in the towns he passed through, as his primary purpose for coming here was to find mutated animals to contract.
...
After another half month of harvesting, Lu Heng gradually approached the location of the wildlife park.
The difference between a wildlife park and a conventional zoo was that the areas where the animals lived were more spacious, but the animals were still kept separately within their respective enclosure walls.
Due to the vast area of the wildlife park, it was more convenient to travel by car.
After Lu Heng initially entered the park gate, he first cleared out a few zombies at the entrance and then took out his RV again.
He planned to drive the RV around the scenic area. After all, there were too many large animals in the scenic area. If he encountered lions or tigers, a large vehicle would not be easily overturned.
Lu Heng did not look for the vehicles specifically used to take tourists to see animals in the scenic area. After all, the vehicles had been parked outdoors for such a long time, and the performance of many vehicles was not guaranteed. If a tire blew out halfway, repairing it would be troublesome.
After entering the RV, Lu Heng flashed into his space again. He hadn't seen the Director for many days and wondered how its sorting work was going.
As soon as he arrived at the plaza where the Director was with his thoughts, Lu Heng was almost blinded by the results of his efforts in the past few days.
On the plaza in front of him, several piles of crystals had already appeared. The largest pile on the left was a pile of pale white crystals. These were ordinary crystals without attributes, but they were all level two.
Further to the right were various colored elemental crystals, and each type of elemental crystal was further sorted by level.
Lu Heng looked at the Director, who was still diligently sorting crystals, with some surprise. He really didn't know how this guy managed it. It could actually distinguish colors and further subdivide various crystals by level.
Fortunately, there was no wind in the space, and the items piled here would not be scattered again as long as those few pets didn't come over and touch them randomly.
Lu Heng specifically reminded them during dinner because, since they could enter the space, the pets could move freely anywhere he could reach within the space.
However, they couldn't reach a certain location in the space with a thought like Lu Heng could. They had to fly or run to get there.
But no matter where the pets were, with a thought from Lu Heng, he could bring them back to his side.
Therefore, before these pets became addicted to Mahjong, they were chasing and playing in the space.
Of course, this did not include the tortoise. Its physiological characteristics made its greatest hobby, even after mutating and evolving, to stay in the sun and bask in the sun. It did not participate in any physical activities.
