Lu Heng glanced at Evan, then turned to Lin Yu and said, "Not for now. We've reached some agreements, and as long as there are no unforeseen circumstances, it should abide by them."
Lin Yu didn't know what agreements Lu Heng and Evan the robot had, but humans had no leverage against these high-tech civilized products.
"Then so be it."
Lin Yu looked at Evan, who was scanning the room, and asked, "This... doesn't it need to go back?"
Lu Heng also looked at Evan and shook his head. "We also need to inform everyone about the existence of extraterrestrial life on Blue Star in a timely manner.
We'll start with the people in Nameless City, and then you can disclose the news to some of the bases you have contact with."
Lu Heng wanted Evan to help humanity develop technology, so the existence of aliens also needed to be announced to all survivors nationwide.
At the very least, some large bases needed to understand the changes that had occurred in the world.
Everyone could no longer focus solely on killing zombies and merely surviving.
The entire Blue Star needed to develop; someone had to lead the way in advancing stagnant technology and life.
And that leader would ultimately be Nameless City.
"Yes, coincidentally, there will be a national base leaders' meeting soon. I'll announce the information then."
The country was still in a state of fragmentation. Although Nameless City had already surpassed other bases in combat strength and material reserves,
Nameless City did not yet have the ambition to conquer and unify the nation.
Under these circumstances, a system resembling an alliance had been tacitly formed.
With Nameless City at the forefront, important decisions regarding dealing with zombies were made through meetings.
Of course, Nameless City's decisions or ideas generally dominated the final outcome of the meetings.
"You can decide on this." Lu Heng, the hands-off manager, only stated his thoughts; how to implement them and to what extent were decided by Lin Yu and the others.
While Lu Heng and Lin Yu were talking in the room, Evan refocused its attention on the window.
Although this was the inner city, the building was one of the tallest in the inner city, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.
Evan scanned the houses and layout of the inner city, gaining new insights into humanity.
"Your place is very different from country Y."
"Of course. How can such a small country compare to us? Before the apocalypse, they barely developed their cities, with low-rise houses everywhere and a pitifully small population."
Hearing Evan's words, Lin Yu proudly spoke about the differences between here and foreign cities.
Although he had never been abroad, he could tell from some foreign film and television materials that those countries, in order to maintain their original social structures, rarely expanded or renovated their cities.
At that time, many people in China were still praising this retro development model abroad.
Lu Heng glanced at the time and said to Evan, "Let me take you to the city gate to see. It's the time when people are returning, and it should be quite lively."
In fact, Lu Heng hadn't experienced the feeling of people going out to kill zombies and returning to the city for a long time.
Since obtaining demon crystals from another world, which allowed Nameless City to upgrade into a high-level army of over 100,000 ability users,
He had rarely gone out to kill zombies, except for special needs.
In about half an hour, it would be the time for people to return.
Nameless City had time regulations for closing its gates, so the teams that went out were usually punctual.
Upon arriving at the outer city wall, Evan once again felt the difference from abroad.
He had never seen such tall city wall architecture in any foreign country, and he even became somewhat interested in the various heavy weapons mounted on the walls.
After a tour, figures of returning people gradually appeared not far from the city gate.
The vast crowd did not bring any zombie followers, and the team became lively as they approached Nameless City.
Listening to the noisy voices from a distance, Evan asked Lu Heng, "Aren't these people afraid of attracting zombies?"
Evan was already very familiar with the characteristics of zombies, and sound was one of the reasons that attracted them.
"There are no zombies left around here. Even if a few foolish ones come, these people can easily kill them."
It could be said that as long as they entered the boundaries of Nameless City, the surroundings were already safe.
The surroundings were wide-open spaces without any cover, making any approaching zombie very conspicuous.
"There are quite a few humans here too."
Evan's voice was too distinctive. Ever since Lu Heng brought Evan onto the city wall, it had attracted the attention of many guards.
After they finished their tour, almost all the guards on duty that day had noticed Evan's abnormality.
Moreover, Evan had removed its human disguise and appeared before everyone in its original form as an extraterrestrial robot.
"Isn't that person following City Lord Lu not human? I don't think the voice sounds right."
"It's definitely not human. Didn't you see its lower body wasn't moving, and it was floating some distance above the ground?"
"When did our technology develop to such an advanced level? Robots can actually converse so fluently?"
They had heard Evan and Lu Heng's conversation; the way they spoke was exactly like two humans chatting.
The only difference was that Evan's voice was a mechanical electronic sound.
Standing on the city wall, feeling the lively atmosphere of people entering the city, Lu Heng also showed a long-lost smile.
Humanity was developing in a good direction; at least the survivors around Nameless City were doing so.
Evan couldn't stay outside the space for too long, and Lu Heng was also afraid it might attract unwanted zombie hordes.
For the sake of the surrounding humans, he quickly retracted Evan back into the space.
...
In a spacious conference room.
Seven or eight people were gathered.
One person stood by the window, leaning against it, constantly exhaling smoke.
"What's going on? We sent things to Nameless City, and they haven't replied yet?"
A scar-faced man sitting behind the conference table slammed the table heavily, immediately knocking off a corner of it.
"Hey, don't break my stuff. Such a big table is hard to find these days, and moving it is quite troublesome."
These people didn't have storage accessories, and Nameless City didn't sell those things to the outside.
Therefore, they never carried large items when they went out.
These few items were found in the original small town, but there weren't many good ones left.
"Hey, we're talking about serious matters. This broken thing of yours can't be eaten, and I find it an eyesore."
The scar-faced man said with disdain, then turned to the man in the shadows. "Hey, you too, say something. What's the use of just smoking there? You smart people should think of a solution."
The man in the shadows turned and stubbed out his cigarette on the windowsill, exhaling the last puff of smoke.
"We can't just wait like this. We have to make a move too."
"How do we make a move?"
The man in the shadows turned sideways, his glasses reflecting a cold light under the sunlight.
