"You want to go to Wuming City."
Lu Heng looked at Zhao Guodong opposite him and directly stated the other party's inner thoughts.
Zhao Guodong looked at Lu Heng, surprised, and blurted out, "How did you know?"
He hadn't mentioned this to Lu Heng yet.
Lu Heng stood up, patted away nonexistent wrinkles on his clothes, and looked at Zhao Guodong with cold eyes.
"I have other matters, so I won't be staying here. As for the crystals I lent you, once you've saved enough, have someone send them to Wuming City."
"You're leaving?"
"What, can't I leave?"
"No, I didn't mean that. Didn't you say you were staying for two days to check out our..."
Lu Heng interrupted Zhao Guodong, "Didn't you just say that the nearby bases agreed to take you in? As long as you work hard, your future will surely get better."
With that, Lu Heng walked out of the room. He glanced at the sky, which was already darkening, and recalled the antelope at the door into his spatial dimension.
He then summoned the Fire Phoenix from his spatial dimension and, riding the bright and vibrant Fire Phoenix, Lu Heng quickly disappeared into the sky above the small town.
After this incident, Lu Heng would no longer help other survivor bases.
For some people, the more you help them, the more they might demand from you. Once their demands are not met, they might even harbor hatred towards the benefactor.
A streak of fiery red light rapidly disappeared into the sky. Zhao Guodong stood at the villa's entrance, gazing in the direction Lu Heng had left, lost in thought for a long time.
He didn't know how long he had stood at the door before his trusted subordinate found him. Zhao Guodong then murmured,
"Was I wrong."
Lu Heng adjusted his direction in the high altitude and located Sun Qiang's position.
Because he had to travel at night, Lu Heng summoned the Fire Phoenix.
The Fire Phoenix possessed offensive capabilities and was fire-elemental, making it difficult for ordinary mutated animals to get close.
As long as it didn't engage in close combat with those animals, the Fire Phoenix's chances of encountering danger would be reduced.
For the past two days, Lu Heng had been checking Sun Qiang's location using the tracking device.
Sun Qiang had remained in one place for the past two days without moving.
Moreover, Sun Qiang had been in this location for four or five days. Could it be that the entire area had been cleared again, and it was waiting for him to go and harvest the high-level zombies there?
Lu Heng sat on the Fire Phoenix's back and soon arrived at the city where Sun Qiang was located.
However, below, the number of zombies gathered in the city was not small, with almost the entire city's zombies wandering around.
Lu Heng and the Fire Phoenix's arrival made the zombies in the night even more excited.
They roared and shrieked at the fiery red figure that occasionally swooped through the air.
Excitedly, they ran rapidly through the city, following the Fire Phoenix's movements.
Even more zombies launched various ranged attacks towards the Fire Phoenix and Lu Heng in mid-air.
Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix's movement speed was fast enough, and when Lu Heng noticed the anomaly below, he had also promptly created an air current wall around the Fire Phoenix's body, preventing the attacks from below from affecting them.
What's going on?
Why was the city full of zombies? Lu Heng confirmed with the tracking device in his hand again.
Sun Qiang was indeed in this city, and even though Lu Heng had arrived, the position displayed by the tracker had not moved at all.
The city below, filled with gathered zombies, also exuded an unusual aura.
Because it was nighttime when he arrived, Lu Heng couldn't see too far into the situation below.
However, with the red light emitted by the Fire Phoenix, he could see the nearby situation clearly enough.
Although there were many zombies in the city, their levels were not very high. Lu Heng controlled the Fire Phoenix to fly over a few times, and he didn't see any zombies above level five on the ground.
So where was Sun Qiang?
In which building?
Lu Heng did not want to fight zombies at night, although his vision was not limited by the night.
However, some lingering shadows from his past life made him dislike the night.
He tapped the Fire Phoenix's back with his foot, signaling it to leave. He needed to wait until morning to see what was happening here.
The waiting time was always a bit long. Lu Heng took the Fire Phoenix back into his spatial dimension. Fortunately, there was Evan in the spatial dimension whom Lu Heng needed to check on.
Evan had stopped working on the communicators. The communicators, neatly stacked in a corner of the plaza, numbered in the thousands.
These would be sufficient for important figures in the apocalypse to use for work communication.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Heng watched Evan constantly modifying a large piece of equipment. However, Lu Heng was not proficient in machinery and couldn't understand what equipment he was modifying after looking for a long time.
"It's the drive unit for a flying vehicle. Blue Star's technology is too backward. I'm modifying a better one for you. The materials used are readily available here, and you can produce them yourselves in the future."
Evan's work didn't stop, but he briefly explained the working principle of the equipment to Lu Heng.
"Hmm, I'll take you and this equipment out later, and you can explain it to the mechanical engineers."
"Okay."
Lu Heng watched Evan work with concentration and was about to leave to check on other spatial dimensions.
Before he could leave, Evan spoke again.
"Can you take me to see the Senal people's spatial dimension?"
Finally, Evan asked. He didn't want to be confined to Lu Heng's spatial dimension.
Although its life was not limited by time, a robot with independent thinking ability
would always ponder how to get Lu Heng to agree to let it return to Kandu quickly.
"In such a hurry?"
Evan remained silent and didn't reply. Asking that question just now had already proven that it was indeed a bit anxious.
"It's not time yet. I said I would let you return to Kandu." After speaking, Lu Heng turned and headed towards the apartment building in his spatial dimension.
The zombies on Blue Star had not been completely eradicated, so Blue Star's technology could not develop comprehensively.
Furthermore, the Senal people living on Blue Star were also a problem. They didn't seem to have any intention of leaving Blue Star.
However, at the current stage, how could humans coexist on the same planet with higher-level beings?
Looking at Lu Heng's retreating back, Evan remained still for a long time.
Back in the apartment, Lu Heng took a hot bath. As long as there was an opportunity, Lu Heng would always take a bath.
Then, wearing a bathrobe, he sat in the living room and ate dinner.
He had originally wanted to eat dinner and rest in the small town earlier, but after being disturbed by Zhao Guodong, he chose to leave directly, forgetting about dinner.
The long wait was finally over.
Lu Heng saw from his spatial dimension that the sky outside had brightened. After coming out of his spatial dimension, he summoned Lin Xue.
When he returned to his spatial dimension last night, the place he left from was not far from the city where Sun Qiang was located.
He had checked before, and the zombies there were not of high level. Lu Heng wanted Lin Xue to control them and directly kill all the zombies there.
Since there was an unusual situation there, clearing out the zombies first was definitely the right course of action.
