Elder Fei and a few old comrades demonstrated his abilities. Of course, the special abilities that had just evolved were not very powerful, but they were better than his increasingly aging body.
After smashing several seats with his bare hands, those people wanted to drag Elder Fei to the courtyard to perform the feat of smashing large stones with his bare hands.
"Stop fooling around. City Lord Lu has also agreed to give each of you old fellows one. We'll go to the courtyard together later to try them out."
Elder Fei's old comrades were very surprised. They knew that crystals were very special in the apocalypse. Usually, collected crystals were prioritized for soldiers who could fight. As for them, the elderly who had lost their combat effectiveness, let alone whether they could evolve, such rare things would certainly not be wasted on them.
"You're giving this to us?"
"Yes, but even if we give it to you, your special ability level won't be high. It's only equivalent to that of a second-tier ability user. After that, you won't be able to increase your level by using crystals."
Lu Heng explained the situation after taking the crystals to these people again.
"Alas, this is good enough. Fortunately, with this, our bodies are much better than before. It's estimated that we old fellows can live at least ten more years."
"Oh my, this is already very good. You don't know, my body can't take it after standing for a while. But how much does this thing sell for? If it's too expensive, we can't afford it."
After hearing about the benefits that demon crystals could bring them, they were both happy and worried that they couldn't afford it.
"That's right, City Lord Lu. The one I used, what can I give you in exchange?"
It was only then that Elder Fei remembered that he hadn't paid Lu Heng for the demon crystal he had just used.
"No need, consider it a welcome gift for Jing City and all of you."
"How can this be? You're not only helping us clear out zombies, but you're also giving us things for free."
"We won't be working for free. The crystals collected from clearing zombies will belong to Wuming City. Moreover, the people of Wuming City will collect all the supplies along the way."
"That's no problem, the supplies you clear out will definitely belong to you."
It was already a great help for Wuming City to help Jing City resolve the surrounding zombie crisis.
Afterward, Lu Heng distributed a demon crystal to each of the old men and personally watched them consume it.
"Oh, it's true! My body feels warm, and I'm sweating all over."
"Yes, mine is a water-element ability. Oh, it will be very convenient to drink water from now on..."
"Mine is a speed-type ability. Is this for me to run errands in the future..."
Feeling the excitement of the old men, the room was filled with their excited chatter for a while.
"By the way, Lin Yu asked me to bring you these things."
Lu Heng waved his hand towards the table, and several items appeared on the table out of thin air.
"This, this is that unique storage accessory of yours, right? This thing is really good. You don't have to carry too many things when you go out."
"Yes, if we had this to collect supplies, I'm afraid many things in the apocalypse wouldn't have expired."
The old men were not too surprised to see Lu Heng conjure items out of thin air, but they looked envious.
"The point isn't this, is it?" Elder Fei looked at his old comrades who were about to go off-topic and brought everyone's attention back.
Why did these people develop this habit when they got old? When they were young, they were all serious and not prone to smiling.
Elder Fei stood up and picked up an item. This was the only item among them that he recognized.
"Mobile phones, we have them here too, but the communication signals are all down now, so they can't be used."
Not to mention civilian use, even their military ones couldn't be used.
So when he saw the mobile phone Lu Heng took out, Elder Fei didn't quite understand what he meant.
"This has been modified. I'm giving two to Jing City."
"Yes, what's the difference?"
"No signal. No matter how you modify a mobile phone, it's still a brick."
"Is it possible that this mobile phone can be used?" Fei Tangtang, who had been quiet, asked.
Lu Heng glanced at her and nodded, "Yes, we've repaired a base station. The satellites in the sky are not affected by zombies."
"That's great. If communication is restored nationwide, it will be much more convenient for us to contact each other in the future."
Elder Fei held the phone and looked at Lu Heng excitedly.
"Yes, this mobile phone has also been modified. It doesn't need to be recharged. As long as it's not violently destroyed, it can be used continuously."
"It's that powerful? Wuming City is said to have contacted aliens. Is this the technology you obtained from aliens?"
"Yes, but this cannot be promoted. This mobile phone is installed with special parts from alien technology, so we can only provide a small number to each base."
"That's very good. This is already very good."
"Yes, the back of the phone has the contact number for this one, and the phone also has Wuming City's number pre-saved. Later, after all these phones are distributed, we will provide everyone's contact information to everyone who has a phone."
"Good, this way our communication will be much more convenient in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"Then what is this?" Fei Tangtang pointed to the strange item placed on the table. She hadn't seen this before.
"Therapeutic instrument."
"How does it treat? Is it also alien technology?"
"Yes, except for injuries caused by zombies, which cannot be healed, general external injuries can be repaired with this. We have already tested it, so you can use it with confidence.
Also, this doesn't need to be recharged. As long as it's not violently damaged, it can be used for a long time."
"Can scars be repaired?"
"Grandpa Sun, are you injured?"
"No, it's just that the scars left from before are quite deep. Let's give it a try."
Lu Heng smiled, picked up the instrument, and said, "Where is the scar? I'll help you fix it."
...
Inside Jing City.
After Wu Hao patrolled the Jing City wall and learned about the situation in the vicinity from the defense personnel of Jing City, he issued instructions to the soldiers of the First Squad who were waiting.
The number of zombies near Jing City was normal, and there was no excessive density.
Moreover, the levels of the zombies in the surrounding areas were not particularly special. There were no zombies with high intelligence that had evolved yet.
Therefore, he planned to arrange for the soldiers of the squad to advance in several directions outside the city in the usual way.
"Let's start from the south first."
The northern part of Jing City had a smaller original population, so there were not many zombies in those areas.
In addition, the distribution in those areas was also very scattered, so they planned to advance towards the south and east first.
The five hundred soldiers of the First Squad were all seventh-tier ability users, led by two tenth-tier squad leaders.
There was no need for too many people to deal with the zombies outside, so these five hundred people were divided into ten small teams according to their ability attributes to fight the zombies.
As for supplies, the two captains had storage rings, and they were only responsible for collecting supplies and crystals after each squad cleared the area.
