"Four more... my God," Zheng Yichen gasped after regaining his strength, tugging at his carbonized clothes. He was unsure of how powerful this Alien Phenonon creature nad Oma was, but at that mont, his most profound realization was that Environntal Adjustnt was decidedly unfriendly to the powerful.
Ah, not exactly unfriendly, but certainly very inhospitable to those strong ones who liked to move around haphazardly.
In their own world, if the powerful didn’t roam recklessly, then other outsiders basically had no chance of unsettling those strong ones’ status.
Unless the outsider was an even more formidable existence, capable of imdiately becoming the top combat force in another world.
Glancing at the desiccated corpse of Oma, Zheng Yichen tapped it with the fishing rod in his hand, eliciting a faint crackling sound. The spot where the fishing rod struck imdiately broke apart.
He stood up and scavenged over Oma’s body, finding little of value, "Ah, so poor?"
Looking at the dicinal pill in his hand, it probably was what Oma had eaten before. He put it away carefully, as it might co in handy later.
"Captain, the fog is starting to dissipate."
A post-apocalyptic survivor rushed over to Liu Haipeng, exclaiming with a surprised face, "We’ve seen lots of buildings!"
"It’s really dissipating? Let’s move, quick!" Liu Haipeng said decisively. He couldn’t be sure if this Alien Phenonon was being watched by others, but if it was, once the fog lifted, people would definitely co over to investigate the situation.
Liu Haipeng led the convoy swiftly to this remnant area, looking at the scattered buildings and so vehicles with a delighted expression. These vehicles could be used, as the road they ca on had already been cleared.
The convoy could stretch out longer.
"First, search for any supplies that can be scavenged. Mark the places with equipnt for later dismantling. Old Li, pay extra attention to this, I’ll go find people."
Liu Haipeng gave so orders and left imdiately.
Zheng Yichen’s location was not hidden. To find him, one simply had to locate the area where the battle occurred. Seeing the battle scars here, Liu Haipeng couldn’t help his mouth from twitching. The previous place had only suffered so severe deconstruction of buildings, but here it looked as though it had been bombarded.
The earth was fractured, with nurous burn marks lingering on the ground, and so areas made him wonder if a tornado had passed through.
There, he saw Zheng Yichen’s figure and couldn’t help but rub his eyes when he arrived next to him. In Zheng Yichen’s palm, there was a vortex of wind—an entity normally invisible, being but flowing air.
Yet, when enough air gathered inside the vortex, it beca visible to the naked eye.
"You’re here," Zheng Yichen disbanded the vortex of wind in his hand. It was a feedback from having completely drained Oma of blood. The feedback wasn’t significant when draining just a portion of blood, but once Oma was entirely depleted, the feedback was different.
Before the fog dissipated, he had felt a clearer awareness of the ’power’ in the environnt.
Among them, the sensitivity to wind, soil-earth, and thunder was most pronounced. His perception of Soil-earth type was the weakest, while Thunder type and Wind type were on par.
This sort of feedback allowed him to maintain the wind vortex effortlessly, needing only to maintain energy expenditure to keep that form. He could even mold the wind into other shapes, and using this power did not consu his Life Force.
So, did he now have extraordinary abilities?
Zheng Yichen felt quite pleased. Once he got more familiar with using this kind of power, wouldn’t flying beco even easier?
When Oma was affected by the black spear’s strange influence on his mind, Zheng Yichen’s ability to rush in quickly wasn’t actual flying, but rather an extrely crude form of propulsion.
He directly gathered wind beneath his feet and then detonated those wind balls, using this thod to accelerate continuously and even Escape the pull of gravity, arriving at Oma’s location with a speed that surpassed the limits of what his body could run.
If the black spear had not dealt any substantial damage to Oma, he might not have been able to finish off the creature. Luckily, Oma was unaware of his extraordinary abilities. The length of the black spear could be extended, which provided him the opportunity to kill the adversary. If that thod hadn’t worked, then there would be nothing left to say—it would be ti to run for it at full strength, starting with other Alien Phenonon creatures that lacked brains.
Later, he would find a chance to regain his footing.
"What kind of Alien Phenonon creature was here?" Unable to see the creature’s corpse, Liu Haipeng asked with curiosity.
"A ’demon’ without wings or horns, standing over two and a half ters tall," Zheng Yichen briefly described Oma’s characteristics, then waved his hand, "It’s safe here now. Oh, I ran into a very intelligent robot earlier. It’s a bit broken, but it could still be used after so repairs."
"?? A robot?" Liu Haipeng’s expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
"There’s also a hovercar, if it can be unlocked, then I’m claiming it."
Hovercars, now those are leagues ahead of motorcycles in terms of coolness, even if the roof has been shorn off. As long as it can move, it’s all good.
Zheng Yichen found the hovercar. This area too had been affected by the battle, but it was only subjected to the lashing of wild winds that had blown away so of the lighter objects. The hovercar was still in good condition, while the robot lay on the ground, its eyes no longer shining.
He set the robot, which only had half a body, upright. Under Liu Haipeng’s watchful eye, Zheng Yichen knocked a few tis on the robot’s head with a Duang, and its eyes began to flicker faintly.
"Hello, how may I be of service?"
"There, just like that," Zheng Yichen told Liu Haipeng standing beside him. If the robot was a bit more intact, and had the appearance of a cute girl, he might have kept it for himself. But that wasn’t the case, plus it only had half a body left, and there was the issue of ID authentication.
"This looks pretty impressive," Liu Haipeng marveled as he began to interact with the robot.
Soon, so mbers of the exploration team also found their way here, and they looked astonished at the robot their captain was dealing with.
"Captain, how is the robot?" so of the older mbers asked curiously.
Liu Haipeng stood up and said, "It feels very powerful. It’s capable of secondary authentication, but more importantly, it possesses the knowledge of elentary, middle, high school, and even university.
Their words made the others’ eyes shine with excitent. They all knew what that ant. In a post-apocalyptic world, the biggest issues are population and survival resources, which were now gradually being t. What they needed to consider next was the passing on of knowledge.
They lacked books, and the knowledge they could transmit to future generations was limited to what they knew themselves, which was hard to systematically impart. But if this robot had educational knowledge, didn’t that an they now had a sufficient substitute for textbooks?
Textbooks were also an easy fix. In previous leftover areas, they had found quite a few textbooks, printers, and paper, which could be used to produce new textbooks.
Zheng Yichen looked at the cheering survivors with a gentle smile and continued to tinker with the hovercar in front of him. As expected, that grating noise started up again. Unable to stand it, Zheng Yichen covered his ears and jumped out of the car; he had no good solutions for this contraption.
"Cough, you guys keep cheering." Unembarrassed by the stares of the group, Zheng Yichen continued tinkering with the hovercar, eventually conceding that he really couldn’t get past the high-tech authentication. In this era, without the likes of hackers, Zheng Yichen could only look regretfully at the hovercar, pondering how to make the most out of it.
The exploration team was busy from morning until evening. The cleared plaza was filled with various resources. A few literate and nurate mbers wore helts with light bulbs, writing down information in their notebooks before directing the recorded items to be moved onto the transport vehicles.
So people were also driving usable vehicles over, making quick modifications in an effort to transport as much as possible in the end.
"The resources here seem to be less than what we have on our side, but so items are more abundant," one of the explorers reported to Liu Haipeng.
Listening nearby, Zheng Yichen pondered a mont, recalling that during his fight with Oma, there weren’t many severe distortions in the Alien Phenonon environnt. This could be because Oma was an intelligent being: "You can expand your search area. The intelligent creatures in this Alien Phenonon environnt likely collected quite a few things."
"Makes sense, I’ll get on it," Liu Haipeng said imdiately. Zheng Yichen pointed him in a direction, the spot where Oma had first appeared.
After that, he didn’t bother with things here anymore and directly returned to his tent with a bunch of food, not hesitating to start eating and drinking voraciously.
After the Alien Phenonon environnt disappeared, the Environntal Adjustnt synchronized with the post-apocalyptic environnt. His previously suppressed physique returned to normal and the wounds on his body healed rapidly, leaving him feeling a strong hunger; he felt hungry again not long after he had just eaten.
Zheng Yichen was fairly certain that the behemoth he had previously taken down had enhanced his physique, which included improved digestive functions. As for more special aspects, it seed his lung capacity had increased; it was quite complex.
He tried holding his breath: he could hold it for nearly thirty minutes. As for inhaling, he could take a deep breath for more than half a minute, which he found to be outrageous. Especially when inhaling deeply, he felt like his lungs were going to beco a high-pressure air tank. If he didn’t intentionally breathe in, his breathing rate was just over a third of an ordinary person’s...
Changes in his physique ant he could hardly feel fatigue. During his battle against Oma, he expended a lot of energy, but his stamina recovered very quickly back then.
If this continued, Zheng Yichen wasn’t sure what he would beco. If he defeated enough extraordinary creatures, would he also beco one of those beings who needed to consult a skill table before fighting in the future?
