With a wave of his hand, Lu Heng cleared away the remaining crystals on the table, along with the sofa and table set.
With the path cleared, Lu Heng quickly moved towards the exits.
Standing before an exit pierced by branches, Lu Heng grabbed a branch and pulled it back. The part of the branch that had extended was undamaged, and its leaves were still attached.
Lu Heng released the branch and reached out his hand towards the front.
The air inside seemed a bit dry.
He withdrew his hand and then reached towards the other two exits, but those two exits remained impassable.
At this point, Lu Heng was no longer sure at what level an exit could be opened, but these things were not overly important. Without the high-level crystals from the apocalypse, Lu Heng estimated it would be difficult to open the last exit.
However, having one more meant he could explore another area. Lu Heng didn't hesitate and stepped towards the newly opened exit.
A dazzling white light stimulated Lu Heng, causing him to close his eyes reflexively. When he felt the light dimming, he opened his eyes to a different scene.
The architecture here was very strange, but all he saw were ruins, giving a sense of desolation after a great battle.
There were no roads underfoot. Lu Heng stepped on objects made of some unknown building material, which didn't seem to be cement products but bore some similarities to them.
Walking further, Lu Heng knew he was still within the space. There shouldn't be any other living beings here; everything was a reflection of another world connected to this one.
Under the sunlight, some metallic substances reflected light, and some large buildings stood broken and dilapidated in the distance.
Further away, some buildings seemed to reach into the sky, with some connections to things in mid-air.
Summoning the eagle-beaked beast, Lu Heng leaped onto its back.
From the air, he could get a better view of the scenery reflected in this space, but Lu Heng vaguely felt that this place might be the ruins of some advanced civilization.
Indeed, as he flew into the air, the surrounding situation came into Lu Heng's view.
Many buildings here were constructed very tall, a level unattainable by human technology.
And in mid-air, there were some passages, yes, passages.
This meant the gravity here was different from Earth's, but because it was within the space, Lu Heng could control the space without being affected.
However, if he found an exit later, the gravity there might prevent him from ascending into mid-air with the eagle-beaked beast again.
He decided to explore this place first and see if there was anything special about this world.
Let's fly higher and see what's above.
Lu Heng directed the eagle-beaked beast to fly higher, wanting to see if the passages above were solid.
Upon reaching the passages, Lu Heng saw that some vehicles were haphazardly parked on them.
Lu Heng thought these were likely similar to cars, the kind often seen in science fiction movies.
He broke off a vine from the seat of the eagle-beaked beast and extended it forward. He used the vine to tap on the passages, confirming they were indeed solid.
However, he wondered if stepping on the surface of such a desolate place would cause it to break.
It was thousands of meters below, and if he fell without being able to fly, he didn't know if he would become a meat patty.
For safety, Lu Heng tied a loop of vine around his waist and had the eagle-beaked beast hover nearby. He could control the length of the vine.
Jumping off the eagle-beaked beast's back, Lu Heng once again stepped onto the passage in the sky.
However, if he didn't look down, just at the surface, Lu Heng felt as if he were still on the ground.
After taking a few steps, the surface did not break. Lu Heng walked towards a derelict vehicle.
The material of these vehicles was unknown. Lu Heng's understanding of advanced civilizations was entirely derived from science fiction films and television shows.
However, these things had been abandoned here for who knows how long, yet their surfaces showed no signs of rust.
Lu Heng placed his hand on the exterior of the object that looked like a car, but he couldn't find any handles or switches. The car's exterior had no seams; Lu Heng couldn't see any with his naked eye.
But Lu Heng had the metal ability, and he wanted to see if this ability could also control the metal here.
Placing his hand on the outside of the car, Lu Heng released his energy to sense it. After an unknown amount of time, with a "clack" sound, a crack appeared in the place that had seemed seamless, and then the car door opened.
Lu Heng leaned in to look inside. There was no steering wheel or similar object, nor any brakes or accelerators.
In front of the car was a completely black object, about the size of a Rubik's Cube.
Lu Heng reached out and touched the object. Instantly, the object lit up. What had been as black as inkstone emitted a blue light.
Immediately, the object projected a light screen towards the front of the car. The screen displayed symbols and lines that Lu Heng couldn't understand.
At this moment, Lu Heng was completely certain: high technology.
Wasn't this exactly what was shown in movies?
But he didn't understand it, and he couldn't read the text.
It was like being given a treasure, but being unable to move or carry it.
However, it didn't matter if he didn't understand. Lu Heng felt he could take this thing back to the normal space and study it slowly.
Then, Lu Heng the scavenger went online.
He began to shuttle through this ruined city, taking one item he could manage and moving it back to the original space city.
Before long, the area below the apartment building was piled high with strange objects.
Lu Heng's pets gathered around the items, looking at them with curiosity. Without Lu Heng's permission, they were not allowed to go to other spaces.
So, faced with a pile of novelties, they came out a bit bored to pass the time.
"Lu Bai, turn into human form and go take a look. I think that shiny thing looks very nice. Go get it and see."
"No," Lu Bai lay on the ground, wrapping his large tail around his neck, giving Xiao Liu a white look. 138 Reading Network.
Xiao Liu's curiosity was truly immense.
"Oh, I'll go drag it over then."
Xiao Liu darted forward and ran towards the reflective object.
Before long, it returned, laboriously carrying a metallic object.
"What is it? It's round." It pushed the object on the ground, and the sphere rolled forward.
"Boring. This thing is just a metal ball. I can make one just like it." Xiao Liu casually placed its paw on the metal ball.
"Beep!..." A sharp, high-pitched sound rang out, and Xiao Liu and the others immediately retreated.
"What did you do?" Lu Heng had just brought back some more items. As soon as he came from that space, he heard the abnormal sound that occurred here.
