"What else do you want? I merely respect these scientific researchers."
To be able to come to this airbase for research before the apocalypse, how long would it take the country to cultivate such a talent?
"Didn't I say before that I came from Wuming City? In fact, Wuming City is now my territory. I'm not an ordinary ability user either. Since we're being open, I'll tell you some more about my background."
Lu Heng spread his hands, and instantly, two majestic tigers appeared in the conference room.
However, these two tigers were currently nestled together, with the white tiger still licking the fur near the yellow tiger's neck.
"Cough." Lu Heng coughed, signaling that the environment had changed and they needed to be mindful.
"What? How are there two tigers?" Zhang Ting retreated to Liu Guodong's side, drawing his pistol and aiming it at the two tigers.
"Put your gun away first, it wouldn't be good if you got hurt later."
"It's not safe if I put it away. How did you do this?"
"Magic."
"I still believe in science. Can you tell us the truth?" Liu Guodong looked at the tigers that had already stood up. The two tigers were clearly much larger than ordinary adult tigers.
The two tigers stood on either side of Lu Heng, and the obedient Siberian tiger even rubbed its head against Lu Heng.
Such intimate behavior greatly surprised Liu Guodong and Zhang Ting. Ever since Lu Heng displayed the trick of making clothes disappear, he had unleashed too many bizarre operations.
"Do you think anyone would tell all their secrets to a stranger? Also, I've already agreed to upgrade you. Besides the people here, what else do you have that others would covet? If you don't agree, I hope you will take all these researchers away. I have the ability to protect them and ensure their better survival in the apocalypse."
"As you said, we are strangers. How can we possibly entrust these researchers to you? We don't understand your situation either."
Lu Heng looked at Liu Guodong and frowned. This person was completely unable to communicate normally. He had already revealed a lot about himself, yet this person had no idea of his current position.
However, if these researchers were to be abandoned like this, it would be a pity, especially since his new space contained too many strange things that required such talents to decipher.
"Take a look at this. I genuinely want to cooperate with your people. If this still doesn't convince you, then I will provide the gasoline that was initially promised, and we will call it even."
Lu Heng took out a black object from his new space and placed it on the table. "Take a look. I have some special items. I studied medicine, and I want to understand what these are."
When Liu Guodong saw the black object, his attention was immediately captured. As a researcher, he could sense that this thing was indeed extraordinary.
"We need to research this, but it might take some time."
"Please be as quick as possible. I've been delayed here for quite some time. Arrange a room for me first. I need to rest alone. Don't have any monitoring equipment in the room; I can sense it."
Liu Guodong nodded, picked up the object, and quickly stood up, saying to Zhang Ting, "Arrange a room for him, do as he says, and prepare some food and drink for him."
"However, these two tigers..." Liu Guodong hesitated as he looked at the two tigers in the room before leaving.
"No need to trouble yourselves. Just find a quiet room."
With a wave of his hand, the two tigers beside Lu Heng disappeared, and Lu Heng also got up.
"I'll take you to rest." Zhang Ting nodded to Liu Guodong, then looked at Lu Heng.
Lu Heng was led to a room. Upon entering, Lu Heng immediately locked the door and then disappeared from the room, returning to his space.
Back in his space, Lu Heng added oxygen to the newly acquired spacesuit. Liu Guodong had inadvertently explained how to inject oxygen quite clearly.
Finally, Lu Heng put on the spacesuit and tested its effectiveness. Looking at the oxygen data displayed on the suit, a fully charged suit could be used continuously for eight hours in an oxygen-deficient environment. However, just in case, Lu Heng had no intention of staying there for too long.
Moreover, Lu Heng had also prepared many sealed glass jars for sampling. Once he found the entrance to the space, he would need to collect various samples there first.
If there was also oxygen in that place, and no other gases that humans could not tolerate, then he would not need to wear such a cumbersome suit to explore it.
However, Lu Heng vaguely felt that the areas developed within his space should have environments that humans could adapt to.
After testing the suit, Lu Heng did not go to search for the exit in that special space. He needed to resolve the matter of this space base first before he could confidently explore unknown regions.
Lu Heng chose to rest in his space first. If someone outside looked for him, they probably wouldn't force their way in. When he heard knocking, he would go out.
After an unknown amount of time, knocking finally sounded from outside.
Lu Heng emerged from his space, opened the door, and saw Liu Guodong personally standing outside. Several people followed behind him, all of whom looked quite old. They all had an anxious look on their faces, but their expressions were much better than before.
"Hello, Lu Heng. We'd like to talk to you again. Are you available now?"
"Yes, I am. Should we talk here or somewhere else?" Lu Heng moved aside, making way for the doorway.
"If it's convenient, then there's no need for you to go anywhere else. We a few of us would like to come in together. What do you think?"
"Come in." Lu Heng raised an eyebrow and turned back into the room. It seemed that item had indeed moved them.
"Yes, yes."
The few people filed in. However, there were not many chairs in the room, only two. Lu Heng didn't mind and patted the bed, saying, "Please sit anywhere."
They all nodded and found places to sit, making the room feel quite crowded for a moment.
"Lu Heng, we've looked at the item you brought out today. This thing is not a product of Earth, is it?"
"I'm not sure either. I obtained it by chance, and I thought you all had some cultural knowledge, so I brought it out for you to broaden your horizons."
"Hehehe, we've indeed never seen anything like this before. After some brief experiments, we haven't figured out much. However, before the apocalypse, some of us had exchanges with foreign research institutions, so we can be sure that this object cannot be produced by humans on Earth."
"Oh, then you continue your research. I can leave this for you."
"That would be wonderful."
