In the space.
Lu Heng found an open area to practice the various elemental abilities he had just mastered.
He now possessed fire, wind, and water elemental abilities. He estimated that the Director's ability was likely a special mental-type ability.
As he mobilized his thoughts, he could now freely use these elemental abilities to accurately attack objects.
It was just that the water ability's offensive damage was not significant. With his current strength, using water to kill zombies was not as fast as him directly hacking with a knife.
The apocalypse had only descended a few days ago, and the zombies outside were still in their initial stages. The basic crystals within those zombies could no longer elevate his ability level.
He had to wait. He would wait for the zombies to mutate into higher-tier zombies before he went out to kill them.
Therefore, for the past two days, besides practicing various abilities and exercising in the space, he had been eating and drinking in the villa's rooms.
He remembered that Tier 1 zombies would appear in about half a month. He could wait until there were more Tier 1 zombies before going to kill them.
After exercising, Lu Heng once again flashed back to the apartment. The water and electricity here were normal. He no longer washed up in the villa outside. After all, the water and electricity supply had already been cut off outside. If he drained a large amount of water, it would attract the attention of other survivors.
These past few days, the four animals Lu Heng had contracted had been able to live together harmoniously.
After all, under the contract of the same master, no matter how individualistic they were, after being contracted, they were like familiar friends.
Lu Heng did not feed them water from the ancient well every day. After all, that water was somewhat heaven-defying, and he didn't know if there would be any after-effects if they drank too much.
He had only stipulated that they could drink the ancient well water once a week.
At this moment, in the space, next to Lu Heng's apartment room, it had already been converted into their dormitory.
When Lu Heng came over after showering, the animals were all lying together facing one direction.
In front of them, a large-screen mobile phone was playing a palace drama that Lu Heng had been watching a few days ago.
The Director had said that they could learn ways of interpersonal communication by watching TV dramas. This method was more intuitive than him teaching them one by one.
Lu Heng watched them living so harmoniously and flashed out of the space, returning to the villa to rest.
After all, waiting for zombies to evolve in the space made time pass too slowly. If he didn't engage in real combat for a long time, his combat ability would degrade.
Therefore, he spent most of his time living outside the space.
...
He waited for more than half a month like this, and Lu Heng left the villa again.
With his current Wind Element Tier 2 ability, killing Tier 1 zombies was completely without pressure. It was a complete crush.
Lu Heng drove to a familiar urban area. It should be that after the water and electricity supply was cut off a few days ago, some people could not bear the hunger and drove to break out of the city. Therefore, at the entrance to the urban area, the road was already piled with scrapped vehicles.
When Lu Heng saw that the road was blocked, he immediately put away his car and walked towards the urban area on foot.
Some of the vehicles on the road had crashed into each other and then caught fire, turning into a pile of frames.
Some should have been chased by zombies, and at this time, various red and white substances were splattered on the cars.
There were more than a dozen zombies wandering sparsely by the roadside. When they smelled Lu Heng's scent of life, they quickly surrounded him.
Looking at the movement speed of the surrounding zombies, Lu Heng knew that most of these zombies were already Tier 1 zombies.
Lu Heng waited for the zombies to surround him, and the straight knife he held gradually condensed into wind blades, which he swung at the zombies with ease.
The closest wave of zombies had their heads half-severed by the wind blades when they were still five meters away from Lu Heng.
Well, these Tier 2 wind blades were indeed effective.
He gathered energy for wind blades again, and Lu Heng swung them continuously, quickly killing all the surrounding zombies.
With another wave of his hand, the crystals exposed to the air were collected into the space by Lu Heng in one go.
He probed with his mind and found that this wave had yielded more than ten Tier 1 crystals and a few basic crystals. He estimated that these few basic ones were also newly infected humans turned zombies.
It seemed that the zombies were evolving quite quickly. He had deliberately waited a few more days, not wanting to waste his effort.
Since learning about the benefits of the ancient well water, Lu Heng would soak all the crystals he collected in the bucket containing the ancient well water.
Since this ancient well water had the ability to heal wounds, it was probably fine to disinfect the crystals taken from the zombies' brains.
To pursue speed, Lu Heng took out his car from the space after leaving the road entrance.
Then he sat in the car and began to control the drone to attract the surrounding zombies. After attracting a certain number of zombies, he stopped the drone in mid-air, then got out of the car and attacked the gathered zombies.
Attracted by the noisy sound of the drone, Lu Heng swung his wind blades, harvesting the lives of zombies like cutting leeks.
Even though they were already Tier 1 zombies, their intelligence had not improved. Only their physical reaction speed was faster than basic zombies.
During the day, Tier 1 zombies, upon seeing a living person or being attracted by sound, would run faster.
It was no longer easy for survivors still in the city to leave the city.
Unless they were ability users like Lu Heng, they had a certain chance to kill Tier 1 zombies or escape.
However, it was estimated that the main goal of ability users now, besides killing zombies, was to collect a large amount of supplies. After all, for humans to survive, they still could not do without food and water.
Therefore, Lu Heng was currently only following the road, attracting zombies, and not going to places rich in supplies.
This also allowed Lu Heng to reduce conflicts with other ability users. Although he was already a Tier 2 ability user, encountering a group of ability users could still be troublesome.
Following the road, Lu Heng continuously used the drone to attract zombies, then killed them. He wanted to obtain as many Tier 1 crystals as possible to upgrade.
He continued killing until dusk. Lu Heng recalled the drone and flashed back into the space.
At this time, there were no wandering living people outside. Even those ability users did not dare to be careless, as zombies were more active at night.
Lu Heng was not afraid, but he had also been fighting for a day, and even the pets in the space were hungry.
Lu Heng first took a shower and changed his clothes. Wearing comfortable pajamas, he went to the pets' dormitory.
These past few days, these few had been staying in the space and studying. Lu Heng saw that they had all gotten a bit fatter.
Especially the Director. Its originally thin and small body was no longer visible. In less than a month, perhaps due to drinking the ancient well water, its body had reached the size of an adult cat.
After feeding them all their food and water, Lu Heng returned to his room to eat.
After all, those few ate raw meat. After chopping zombies all day, he didn't want to eat raw meat now.
