Lu Heng paced back and forth for a while, gritted his teeth, retreated more than ten meters, and then started running towards the fence.
Indeed, his speed now was much faster than before, and he felt much lighter.
When he was still a meter away from the fence, Lu Heng reached out to grab it and climb over.
After all, the barbed wire on top of the fence was not easy to climb.
But as he was about to grab the fence, to his surprise, he went over the anticipated height and cleared the barbed wire with a single jump.
When he came to his senses, he had already landed lightly inside the fence, and his landing was almost silent, even though he was wearing leather shoes.
That's right, he forgot to change his shoes when he went out today. He was still wearing the pair he usually wore to work, and only now did he notice he was wearing leather shoes.
He looked back at the iron fence behind him. By its height, he shouldn't have been able to clear it.
Should he try again?
He jumped from where he stood and easily leaped back outside the fence, standing by his car.
Damn it, he was like a cat now, this easy?
...No, a cat.
He pulled open his collar, revealing his chest. The tattoo was still there.
Could it be...
Was this his ability?
He had to think about what happened yesterday.
He went home, then heard the Director speak human words.
The Director could also hear his thoughts.
Then the Director licked his broken finger.
Then the Director disappeared into his space. He remembered trying before, and his space couldn't hold any living things other than himself.
And then... he could also hear the Director's thoughts...
Yes, he should be able to hear what the Director was thinking.
Today, he easily cleared such a high fence again, like a cat.
Had he merged with the Director?
As he thought this, another surprise happened.
What was lying on the ground in front of him?
"Director?"
"Hey? Why did you bring me to this godforsaken place."
Lu Heng: "Where did you learn to talk like that?"
"Don't you remember? You left me your phone to watch movies this morning. I was just getting to an interesting part when you brought me here."
"Oh, then go back and continue watching."
Then the Director disappeared.
...
Shaking his slightly dizzy head, it was over. The information overload was too much.
With another leap, Lu Heng was back inside the fence.
Lightly and stealthily, Lu Heng made no sound as he moved, quietly harvesting zombies along the way, approaching the direction of the granary.
It was great, this cat-like attribute of his, it was really great!
In this way, Lu Heng spent nearly two hours clearing all the zombies outside the warehouse and collected many crystals.
After clearing this perimeter, he absorbed over sixty more crystals.
To upgrade from a first-order ability user to a second-order ability user, he needed to absorb another two hundred basic crystals.
And to advance further from a second-order ability user, these basic crystals would no longer be effective.
He had to wait for the zombies to evolve and collect crystals from the bodies of level one zombies to be useful.
Therefore, a few years after the apocalypse, crystals from these low-level zombies were already used as currency.
Lu Heng didn't know if there were any survivors here because he hadn't made much noise earlier. The only sound was when he cut down zombies and they fell to the ground.
So he hadn't alerted the zombies further away, while the nearby zombies were drawn to him by the scent of a human.
However, with his current strength, killing these low-level zombies was not a problem.
When he circled around to the vicinity of the granary, an office building near the granary caught Lu Heng's attention.
While killing zombies outside, although he hadn't made much noise, he vaguely heard sounds from this direction.
It was just that he was too far away at the time and couldn't hear clearly.
Could there be survivors here?
As he gradually approached the office building, Lu Heng stood at the bottom of the building, carefully observing the movements around him.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go in and take a look, a man's voice suddenly came into his mind.
"That person's skills were quite good just now, but his walk was a bit strange."
Before he could figure out why the man's voice was in his mind, another middle-aged man's voice came through.
"That person's long saber is good. If I had one, could I also run out?"
Another voice: "Damn it, if that person dares to come in, I'll definitely snatch his saber first."
Damn it? Someone wanted to snatch his saber?
No, the voice was coming from his mind, not something he heard.
Could it be...
To verify his guess, Lu Heng tried to push open the main door of the office building.
The corridor was dark. Lu Heng took out a powerful flashlight and shone it around.
"This person has entered. Later, when he's not paying attention, I'll snatch his saber first."
...
Lu Heng continued to walk inside. As he walked, several different voices echoed in his mind.
But the thoughts of these voices were not very friendly; they were all thoughts of snatching his long saber.
Holding his long saber, Lu Heng quickly saw several men in a spacious office.
Judging by their attire, they looked like delivery drivers and warehouse workers.
Because there were two people who looked like warehouse workers, both wearing uniforms with large characters on the front.
"Xingbei Granary."
Seeing that there were survivors inside, Lu Heng stood at the doorway and did not enter the room.
He shone his powerful flashlight inside, confirming the number of people.
Fortunately, there weren't too many, only four men.
As he was observing, one of the men spoke.
"Hello, can you take us out?"
Lu Heng glanced at the man. Judging by his voice, it was one of the people who wanted to snatch his saber.
Lu Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the man, saying, "I'll give you the saber, and you can go out yourself."
The man's expression was first surprised, then he quickly realized something and hurriedly explained, "Haha, no need. We are all ordinary citizens, how could we use such a saber."
His inner monologue was not the same, "Pah! I'll snatch the saber later. It's safer to keep it myself."
Lu Heng did not answer their question and asked again, "Are there only four of you here?"
Another middle-aged man stood up and walked two steps towards Lu Heng, saying as he walked, "Yes, there were quite a few people here originally, but now only the four of us ran back to the office building."
Lu Heng suddenly looked vigilantly at the approaching middle-aged man. He unconsciously took two steps back, creating some distance.
Seeing Lu Heng's actions, the men inside exchanged glances.
Then, several of them quickly lunged at Lu Heng. Two of them ran from either side, reaching out to grab Lu Heng.
Lu Heng frowned. These people indeed had ill intentions. It seemed the voices in his mind were correct.
Lu Heng sneered inwardly. Not only were these people morally corrupt, but they also lacked patience.
They had barely spoken a few words before they were reaching out to grab him.
