After changing the bedroom furnishings, Lu Heng took another shower, vowing not to bring these small items into the bedroom to play with again.
Although cute, they started to urinate and defecate at some point. Fortunately, they hadn't done it in his room just now. It seemed he would have to redecorate the entire room.
Lying on the freshly changed large bed, Lu Heng quickly drifted off to sleep.
A night of good sleep.
The next day, Lu Heng set off again from that small town, heading for other places. Looking back at yesterday's town, the zombies there had indeed decreased, but they had not been completely eliminated. A considerable number of zombies were still wandering around.
The second place he arrived at was located further north. There seemed to be no residential areas nearby; the entire area was a controlled zone.
However, it was also quiet here, with no signs of human activity or zombies.
"Could there be survivors here too?"
He first summoned Lin Xue to scout below for any zombies. If there was no human activity, the possibility of zombies would likely be lower.
"Master, there are no zombies."
After receiving a positive answer, Lu Heng recalled Lin Xue. Then, he descended into the controlled zone himself.
Many vehicles were scattered on the ground, indicating the chaotic scene that had occurred here.
Lu Heng knew that under normal circumstances, the vehicles here would have been parked in an orderly fashion, not as randomly as they appeared.
Indeed, on the windshield of one of the cars, Lu Heng found bullet holes and some spray of unknown liquid. Those dark brown substances had already dried.
Some of the car tires were also blown out, and there were bullet holes on the car bodies.
Lu Heng did not intend to collect these vehicles. Although some parts could still be used, he felt that common models like these could be replaced by other things. He did not want to bring such disgusting cars back into his space.
After walking for a while, Lu Heng did not find anything of value. Lu Heng summoned the eagle-beaked beast again, planning to search from the air.
Flying to some large buildings, Lu Heng had to descend to the ground again to search for supplies.
Breaking open the doors, the supplies inside were too scarce. Some were scattered everywhere, but the quantity was far from enough.
"They were all taken away?"
In such a chaotic situation, without Lu Heng's spatial abilities, it would not be easy for ordinary people to clear out these supplies so easily.
Unless, there was another military organization that came here to collect them after recovering.
After a round of searching without collecting much, Lu Heng had to return to Nameless City. The previous place had yielded quite a lot of collected items, enough for them to use for a while.
...
Nameless City.
"Brother Lu, you're back. How was the harvest?"
Lin Yu saw Lu Heng return to the city and hurried back to where they lived. He knew that if there was nothing important, Lu Heng would return here first.
"Yes, the harvest was alright. I'll go and hand over with Zhao Youcheng and the others later. By the way, arrange those thirty people I brought back yesterday separately. Don't mix them with other teams."
"Yes, is there anything special about that group? They mentioned it to me yesterday, but I didn't ask for specifics."
"They are from a missile launch base. The missiles there can still be used. If there's a chance to use those missiles, these people will have to go personally to launch them."
Professions with such specialized barriers required special management.
"Okay, I will pay special attention to it."
"Then you go ahead and be busy. No need to come specifically. Oh, by the way, have there been any news about high-level zombies in the past two days?"
"Yes, but not much, and the information that has been reported back needs verification. Also, the zombie levels they reported are not very high, mostly level six or seven."
"Hmm."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Heng looked at Lin Yu, "Then speed up the arrangements for clearing out zombies in other areas. Large-scale clearing operations. They will eventually encounter high-level zombies. However, each team going out must be accompanied by a tenth-level high-level ability user, just in case."
"No problem. The squadron leaders have all been uniformly upgraded to tenth level, and the squad leaders are generally eighth level. I'll upgrade them individually." Lin Yu also had high-level demon cores, which were perfect for upgrading them at this time.
"How is your alchemy skill progressing? Have you researched any interesting pills recently? Don't stick to the formulas from the other world. Combine them with modern knowledge. You can try to see if the materials in our world are suitable for adding."
"Yes, I know. I'm still exploring alchemy. I do occasionally add some of our local raw materials."
"Alright, you guys handle it. Also, you can openly purchase high-level crystals. As long as they are willing to part with them, the price can be exchanged for supplies."
Anyway, Lu Heng had infinite supplies in his space. If he could exchange them for some high-level crystals, it would be very worthwhile.
He now desperately wanted to know what spaces corresponded to the other road exits. Absorbing demon cores indeed could not open the barriers to those areas, so high-level crystals were still needed.
After returning to his space to rest for a moment, Lu Heng tidied himself up and went to the inner city.
He found Zhao Youcheng and handed over all the military supplies, which made him extremely happy.
"City Lord Lu, you're amazing! So much ammunition, and many models are ones we can use. Hahaha, that's great."
"Then record them properly. Don't have all this ammunition carried by one person, especially the people storing the ammunition. They must not leave the city during normal times," Lu Heng patted Zhao Youcheng on the shoulder.
"Yes, I understand."
In the following days, Nameless City became lively again. They had already made detailed plans for clearing out zombies outside. After receiving Lu Heng's orders, everything began to proceed as normal.
This time, the plan was to comprehensively clear out the outside before the next winter arrived. Therefore, people would not be able to return in a short period. Moreover, with over a hundred thousand combatants in the city, they were assigned to advance outwards from several directions.
Food and various supplies were equipped very completely. There was only one point: among the many ability users in the city so far, none of them possessed healing abilities.
Lu Heng had also conducted a special survey within the city after obtaining Lin Xue's recovery ability, but to his regret, there were no such ability users. At that time, Zhao Youcheng and the others had sighed for a long time when they heard that they were looking for people with such abilities.
They didn't know that there was such an ability in the world that could save people.
"If someone has this ability, wouldn't that mean they have immortality? There wouldn't be such a person, would there?"
"I don't know. If you're asked to look, then keep an eye out. If you find one, be sure to bring them back."
"Definitely! If I had someone like that standing by my side, wouldn't I also be immortal? Hahaha."
