Evan didn't say anything else upon hearing Lu Heng's words, turning its head to continue modifying the phone.
Seeing that Evan didn't want to talk to him anymore, Lu Heng guessed it was upset about not being able to go to Candu with him. However, they had made an agreement initially, and Lu Heng didn't want anything to change.
The technological development of Blue Star still relied on Evan's help to overcome the insurmountable gap that humanity had always faced.
Lu Heng shook his head, knowing some things he had to insist on.
With a thought, Lu Heng went directly to Candu and had the nanny robot search for the parts Evan mentioned.
Fortunately, these robots had data records of many details within the city, and they quickly found a lot of materials for Lu Heng.
Lu Heng returned to the spatial city with the materials. When he placed them beside Evan, Evan seemed to have forgotten its previous displeasure and enthusiastically handed Lu Heng a new batch of phones it had finished modifying.
Lu Heng didn't say anything, taking the phones and leaving the space.
He handed the phones to Lin Yu. These phones had fixed numbers, which Evan had already modified according to Lu Heng's requirements while repairing the satellite base stations.
Just like the alien communicator that Bona had given Lu Heng before, the communication device of the Cenar alien used the same principle.
Therefore, Evan had no difficulty modifying them this time.
"I need to go see Sun Qiang. You distribute these phones to the most important people first. By the time I get back, Evan will probably have made some more."
Lin Yu counted the number of phones Lu Heng had given him and then stored them all in his storage ring.
"Also, tell the research center to accelerate their learning and practice of alien technology. Ultimately, humanity must rely on itself. Alien robots cannot help us forever; we need to have a backup plan."
Lu Heng was also very worried about robots evolving to Evan's state. He didn't want humanity's future development to also encounter variables like Evan.
The purpose of human technological development was to liberate humanity and allow people to live more comfortable lives, not for computers to develop to the point of eliminating humanity.
The bodies of the few Cenar aliens that Evan had killed were still stored in his space.
Finding Sun Qiang again, Lu Heng saw Sun Qiang leading his zombie army in fierce combat with ordinary zombies.
It seemed that the zombie density in the selected area this time was higher, and their speed was somewhat slow.
Lu Heng looked down at the zombie battle from high in the sky.
What was called a fierce battle was actually a one-sided annihilation.
When a level four zombie encountered a level seven zombie, it had no chance to resist.
Zombies without sentience stood before a level seven zombie, neither dodging nor fighting back, so the level seven zombie killed the lower-level zombies like harvesting leeks.
Only after the battle below subsided did Lu Heng, as he had done last time, summon Sun Qiang alone and then let the remaining zombies fight each other to condense the high-level crystals he desired.
However, this time Lu Heng increased the level of the zombies, as he needed higher-level crystals to accelerate the opening of the new barrier.
After placing Sun Qiang in the pre-selected area again, Lu Heng returned to his space.
After absorbing all the high-level crystals in his hand, he went to the last barrier to test it.
However, the barrier showed no change. He estimated it would take absorbing more high-level crystals before it could be opened.
He sensed the contract beasts and Evan in his space. They were getting along quite harmoniously, mainly because neither disturbed the other.
Xiao Liu's habit of digging holes had not improved. It kept digging holes in Lu Heng's space, and from time to time, Lu Heng would see a ground full of holes.
He had also stopped it a few times, but Xiao Liu always couldn't control itself. After a few days of being good, it would start digging holes again.
In the end, Lu Heng could only give up for now. After Xiao Liu dug for a while, he would use his mind to repair the space.
Fortunately, no matter how many times Xiao Liu dug, it could not penetrate through to the outside of the spatial city.
This was also one of the reasons why Lu Heng finally felt at ease letting Xiao Liu dig holes.
During this period, Lu Heng returned to Jinyang City to check. In his own courtyard, he didn't see any letters left for him by Lu Daniu.
There were also no new letters left by Zhu Di in the shop.
It seemed that everything was going smoothly in Jinyang City, so Lu Heng felt relieved to continue helping humanity fight back against zombies in the apocalypse.
Among these few spaces, Lu Heng still had more feelings for the apocalypse, after all, his more than twenty years of memories were all related to Blue Star.
Lu Heng would occasionally search for human shelters or bases, helping the survivors there change their current situation.
In places where Lu Heng did not intervene, the survivors were still in a very passive situation.
Just like this time, Lu Heng discovered another small town. Although it was small, it seemed that many survivors had managed to live.
But like countless shelters, this small town could not hold on for much longer at this moment.
The dilapidated city walls told Lu Heng how tragic things had happened here.
In fact, there was a larger base near this small town. That base was created by the original government, and the city walls and the situation inside were better.
When Lu Heng arrived at the dilapidated small town, the people there were repairing the walls.
Their faces were filled with exhaustion. It seemed they had to repair and reinforce the city walls during the day and deal with zombie attacks at night.
Lu Heng's arrival also startled the people here, as anyone who had never seen a griffon would be surprised by such a large flying bird.
As Lu Heng landed in the town, some ability users even launched nature-element abilities towards the griffon.
Flames, ice arrows, and wind blades all attacked Lu Heng, but as those attacks approached the griffon, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.
All the nature-element attacks were also completely neutralized.
"What's going on? My fire bullet just disappeared?"
Seeing that his attack was ineffective, the flames disappeared even before they got close to the monster.
The ability users who had surrounded them were panicked.
Since evolving into ability users, they had never encountered such a phenomenon.
"Yeah, my ice arrow is gone too..."
"..."
For a moment, everyone involuntarily retreated a bit, holding their weapons and staring at the griffon.
"Look, there's someone on that monster."
"How is that possible?"
"Huh, there really is someone, what's going on?"
Lu Heng stood on the griffon's back, scanning the wary crowd below.
He had mixed other elemental abilities into the wind wall. Because the wind wall was spinning too fast, these low-level individuals naturally couldn't see clearly.
But their released nature-element abilities were naturally countered by the higher-level abilities.
