After Zhao Liang had been gone for a while, Lu Heng finally got up and left the room.
He found the dozen or so foreigners, who were still undergoing physical examinations.
However, upon seeing the thousand people brought by Lin Yu, these dozen foreigners were once again petrified. They immediately became compliant.
It was said that all thousand people were seventh-tier ability users, and the personnel ratio within the team was very reasonable, covering almost all ability attributes.
And the few squad leaders were reportedly tenth-tier ability users. This made them, who had initially thought they could achieve great things and make a name for themselves in this country, realize the truth.
These people had truly taught them a lesson, showing them that there were always people better than them, and heavens beyond heavens.
The dozen or so people somewhat dejectedly followed the arrangements here. When some saw Lu Heng appear again, they seemed very excited.
"City Lord Lu, we meet again. Can we leave after our examination?"
The person had heard the people of Wuming City refer to Lu Heng, and although he didn't quite understand, he mimicked the pronunciation and called out to Lu Heng. However, the latter part of his sentence was in his own country's language.
"Where are you going? Do you want to go back to your country?"
"Yes, this place isn't suitable for us. We want to go back..."
"It just so happens that I also have something I want to discuss with you. After your examination, we can have a good chat."
"Then when will the examination be finished?"
"I'm not sure. In this post-apocalyptic world, there aren't many places that can give you such a thorough physical examination. You should cherish it."
Lu Heng was not in a hurry. It was best to thoroughly examine these foreigners who had come from abroad. Perhaps the zombie virus in foreign countries was different from that in their own country.
After an hour, Lu Heng sat aside, carefully listening to the inner thoughts of these people.
While direct conversation might not yield truthful information, a person's innermost thoughts were the most genuine when facing Lu Heng's special abilities.
However, these people were mostly filled with regret and unwillingness at the moment, and Lu Heng did not hear any particularly significant information.
After everyone had finished their examinations, Lu Heng personally led them to the courtyards assigned to them.
"Didn't you say you would let us leave? Why are we going further inside?"
"I have some things I want to ask you. Ultimately, whether you stay or go will depend on how you answer me," Lu Heng said as he got out of the car and addressed those still inside.
"No, we want to leave, now!"
Seeing that their emotions were becoming agitated, Lu Heng released several ferocious beasts from his spatial dimension.
The dozen or so people fell silent instantly upon seeing the beasts reappear.
Surrounding them were tigers, leopards, black bears, and blood wolves, as well as several eagles circling overhead.
"You, are you a beast tamer?"
"More or less. You can understand it that way."
They had witnessed the killing power of these animals in Luocheng, with a few raptors attacking from the sky.
But even so, they now realized that these ferocious beasts were all extraordinary.
Lu Heng looked at the suddenly quiet crowd. "Can we talk now? Let's go inside."
Afterward, Fatty Hu and the others began to tighten their encirclement, herding the dozen or so people into the small building within the courtyard.
Lu Heng also followed into the house, while Fatty Hu and the others leisurely patrolled outside the room.
"City Lord Lu, what do you want to know?"
"How did you get here? And which countries are you all from?"
"We came from Country Y. I believe you already know our purpose for coming here, but we have abandoned that idea and plan to return.
We arrived here through a teleportation array, similar to the spatial teleportation devices in sci-fi movies. However, the teleportation destination is random."
"Teleportation array?" Lu Heng had never heard of this.
"Two months ago, a great scientist appeared in Country Y and developed a teleportation array that could transport humans to any region on Blue Star. Of course, this teleportation is random, as this device has only been researched for a short time."
"What do you mean by random?" Lu Heng looked at the people in front of him. There should have been more of them initially, and the probability of so many people being gathered together randomly seemed quite high.
"The location is random, but as long as people are teleported in a batch, then after our batch is teleported, we will appear at one location."
"Then how will you return? Will you also be teleported back? What equipment did you bring?"
"We do have a teleportation device, but due to the limitations of that thing, we can only activate the teleportation program at the place we arrived from."
"That place is near Luocheng."
"How do you know?"
"I guessed. Where is the device? Show it to me."
The people opposite each other exchanged glances, but they couldn't resist Lu Heng's pressure, so they took out the item.
They knew that if they didn't cooperate now, Lu Heng could kill them all and then find the device on their bodies.
Lu Heng looked at the ring handed to him. "How is this thing used?"
"It can't be used here. We must return to the original teleportation point. It is said that coordinate memory is set here, so the coordinates must match when returning to teleport people back."
"To this place?" Lu Heng touched a raised position on the ring.
"You, this thing has limited power. Don't press it randomly, or it will run out of power."
"Can't it be recharged when it runs out of power?"
"We don't have charging equipment, and we don't know how to charge this thing. We were in too much of a hurry when we came, so we didn't figure out how this thing works."
"Hehehe, then you were truly too careless. I'll study it for you first. If it can be recharged, I'll give it back to you after it's charged."
Then Lu Heng put the ring into his spatial dimension and got up to leave. "Oh, right. You will reside here for a period of time. Do not attempt to escape or cause any trouble. Wuming City will be responsible for your daily food and drink. Please live peacefully in this small courtyard."
"You're going to imprison us?"
"What? Do you have an opinion? What do you think this place is? If you want to get a piece of the pie, you must have the awareness of being enslaved. The lowest-level ability users in Wuming City are all sixth-tier. Do not attempt to resist. Wait obediently for me to figure some things out. Perhaps I will accompany you back."
Lu Heng's interest had been piqued. He had not expected that in this world, in such a difficult post-apocalyptic environment, someone would invent such a long-range teleportation device.
He wanted it, he wanted the scientist, and he wanted the teleportation equipment.
With this, and with the soldiers he had created, conquering every corner of the world would no longer be a problem.
