"What are these aircraft being borrowed for by City Lord Lu?" Lin Chongshan asked shamelessly.
He felt that with his son's status in Wuming City, Lu Heng would not hide anything from him.
"To transport people. We plan to go out and kill zombies, but there aren't many zombies around Wuming City anymore. We want to go further afield, but transportation is not very convenient. Borrowing transport planes will allow us to carry more people."
Lu Heng looked at Lin Chongshan and did not hide anything, as he would need to borrow pilots from them anyway, and they would find out sooner or later.
"I see. Then the fuel we have here might not be enough for you to fly many times," Lin Chongshan said, leading Lu Heng to a few transport planes and looking at the gasoline storage area in the distance.
"We will solve the fuel problem ourselves. Borrowing these planes is considered compensation for Wuming City's support of Longcheng this time. But don't worry, if they are not damaged by zombies after use, we will return them."
"That's not what I meant. If you want to borrow anything from Longcheng, how could we refuse?"
"Really? Can you make the decision yourself? Do you need to have an internal meeting to discuss it?" Lu Heng patted the landing gear of the plane beside him and looked at Lin Chongshan with a smile.
"Hehehe, I do need to get approval. After all, Longcheng doesn't belong to me personally. I'll find someone to show City Lord Lu around Longcheng. I'll have someone notify you when there's a result."
"Alright, but can I go anywhere I want? I'm not interested in visiting places where ordinary survivors live."
"Haha, we don't have the ability to stop City Lord Lu. I think if you really want to go somewhere, our people definitely won't be able to stop you," Lin Chongshan said with a self-deprecating smile, calling out to someone beside him. "You take City Lord Lu around the base. I'll notify you via walkie-talkie when there's news."
"Okay." The person patted Lin Chongshan's shoulder, assuring him.
Then Lin Chongshan turned to Lu Heng and said, "City Lord Lu, this is Commander Du, who is in charge of base defense and security in Longcheng. Let him show you around. He has access to most places."
"Alright, but please give me news quickly. I need to visit other bases."
Lin Chongshan nodded and hurried away to discuss the matter with the base's management.
"Where does City Lord Lu plan to visit?" Commander Du asked Lu Heng with a smile.
"Do you have any institutions that research the zombie virus here?" Lu Heng asked the person beside him.
The person was taken aback and quickly replied, "Hehehe, you jest. We were all ordinary soldiers before, how could we have the brains to research such things? If there is, it would be the people from the military region who were originally responsible for medical matters."
"Oh? But you still have a medical team, don't you?"
"Yes, we do. I'll take you around, but it's just for people who sustained external injuries while working in the base. There's really nothing to see. The ability users nowadays have much stronger bodies, and very few people catch colds or fevers anymore." Commander Du finished speaking and led Lu Heng towards a location. "Let's drive there. It's quite a distance from here."
Lu Heng nodded and got into a jeep with Commander Du.
As expected, there was nothing to see in the entire medical team. The existing equipment was not as complete as that in Lu Heng's spatial hospital.
Lu Heng shook his head and said to Commander Du, who was following him, "I'll look around myself. You can go about your business. I'll return to where the planes are parked in half an hour."
"How can I do that? I should accompany City Lord Lu. After all, if you go to some places alone, you might not be able to enter."
"Actually, there's nothing much to see. Bases after the apocalypse are pretty much the same. I'll just go and visit the survivor living areas myself."
"This..." Commander Du still wanted to follow Lu Heng, but seeing Lu Heng's impatient expression, he quickly shut his mouth.
Lu Heng ignored Commander Du, took out an off-road motorcycle from his spatial storage, and sped away, the roar of the engine turning the heads of people around.
"It's really rare to see such a new car at this time."
"Indeed. I remember these cars were quite expensive before the apocalypse."
"Hey, in the apocalypse, everything is free. Who still rides the cars they bought?"
"Hehe, that's true..."
After riding for a while in the city, Lu Heng disappeared after flashing around a corner.
He took the off-road vehicle directly into his spatial storage. After two minutes of silence, he left the spatial storage again.
This time, Lu Heng didn't ride the motorcycle. The noise was too loud and attracted too much attention from the people around. He chose to walk in the city.
Lu Heng used the footwork he learned from Wuchenzi in the other world, combined with his spatial abilities, to quickly shuttle through Longcheng.
When he had asked Commander Du about whether Longcheng had researched the zombie virus, the man had clearly hesitated. Lu Heng had obtained the answer he wanted through mind-reading.
Since he couldn't get any information by following that person around the city, he might as well explore the city himself.
As he moved through the city, Lu Heng quickly read the thoughts of the survivors around him. Filtering out the useless information, Lu Heng soon heard what he wanted.
Before long, Lu Heng appeared near a two-story building.
Standing at a corner, Lu Heng concealed himself in his spatial storage and observed the independent building not far away. The windows of the building were covered with anti-peeping film, making it difficult to see inside.
Perhaps those windows were sealed behind the film, but the information in the minds of the people inside kept reaching Lu Heng's mind.
"This antibody sample is also wrong. It can't fight the zombie virus at all..."
"The survival time of these extracted virus cells in a normal temperature environment..."
After listening for a while, Lu Heng did not hear any useful information. He then carefully examined the exterior of the building.
There were no dedicated guards outside, but Lu Heng noticed that quite a few cameras were installed around the building, covering almost every angle without any blind spots.
It seemed impossible to enter without alerting the people inside, unless he quickly used his strange footwork to enter when someone opened the door to come in or out, and then immediately flashed into his spatial storage.
Lu Heng glanced at the watch placed in a corner of his external world and couldn't help but frown. He had about ten more minutes. If he couldn't get in now, he would have to find another time to come back.
Time in his spatial storage passed much more slowly than outside. Lu Heng sat in his spatial apartment feeling somewhat bored.
Watching the time outside tick by, Lu Heng ultimately did not wait for the building's door to open.
Sighing with regret, Lu Heng put away the watch from the outside world and then flashed out of his spatial storage, moving away from the building.
