Translator: Attas Studios Editor: Attas Studios
Reconstruction of the post-war Guangping Street gathering place had not been completed yet
When Bai Tianyu and his group arrived at Good Hope Village, all they saw was a scene of devastation, with only a few buildings still intact.
However, it was easy to sec that the people here had a vitality on their faces, rather than the common look of despair in the apocalypse. This ant that they were optimistic about this place and the future.
The person responsible for receiving Huo Sheng and Bai Tianyu was Zhang Lixin.
At the first sight of Zhang Lixin, even before Bai Tianyu could speak, Huo Sheng anxiously asked, ‘Where is ng Jie?1’
After giving Bai Tianyu a military salute, Zhang Lixin cast a strange look at Huo Sheng and said, r‘Dr. ng is in her own research lab?1
Huo Sheng nodded and calmly said, “Dr. ng’s research is very important for humanity. 1 would like to see her. Is it convenient now?”
Zhang Lixin thought for a mont and nodded.
After instructing a survivor to bring Huo Sheng to see Mong Jie, Zhang Lixin looked up at Bai Tianyu.
“Is that Dr. Huo Sheng?”
A faint smile appeared on Bai Tianyu’s square face.
“Yes.”
“Is he Sister ng’s admirer?”
Judging by his attitude, it seed like it…
Bai Tianyu shook his head and said, “Not a suitor, but her ex-husband.”
Zhang Lixin said in realization, “Ex-husband? The remarriage brother?”
He had already imagined a big show in his mind.
Bai Tianyu laughed helplessly and said, “Yes and no… In any case, the relationship between these two is quite complicated, it’s hard to say who’s right and who’s wrong. So they will mind their own business, and we will mind ours.”
As he spoke, Bai Tianyu walked in the direction of Lu Ming’s house and said, “Let’s go, take to see Brother Lu Ming.”
The last ti he ca, he did not got a chance to et Lu Ming and chat with him. This ti, Bai Tianyu would not miss the opportunity for anything.
Huo Sheng was led by a survivor to ng Jie’s homo and laboratory.
After knocking on the door and hearing ng Jie’s voice from inside, Huo Sheng opened the door and entered the house.
He could see that the furnishings inside the house were simple, even bordering on crude, with the remains of the two Tyrants and the corpses of several other zombies.
The entire room was filled with a foul, even causing Huo Sheng, an old scientist, to frown.
On the other hand, ng Jie was focused on dissecting the Tyrants and seed unaware of Huo Sheng’s arrival.
Huo Sheng remained silent and slowly walked over to the laboratory table.
After waiting for about five minutes, when ng Jie put down the equipnt, Huo Sheng finally spoke, “Thank you for your hard work.”
This was not only about the hard work of the experintal conditions, but also referred to ng Jie’s hardships as a lone survivor in the post-apocalyptic world. Zhang Lixin was speechless.
Only at this mont did ng Jie look up at Huo Sheng, her eyes devoid of any particular brilliance, and calmly said, “The muscle tissues of the Tyrants are stronger than ordinary Level 3 Awakened. Their stomachs have undergone further mutations or, rather, evolution, allowing them to easily digest the flesh and blood containing mysterious factors
“I speculate that the Tyrants might be even hungrier and crazily hunt down the Awakened or even ordinary survivors.”
Huo Sheng was taken aback by her businesslike attitude.
However, he was not soone who knew how to sweet-talk won, in the first place, otherwise, he and ng Jie would not have reached this point today.
After a mont of thought, Huo Sheng heaved a long sigh.
“Compared to humans, zombies have a great advantage. For human Awakened individuals to advance, they need the zombie crystals from zombies of the sa level. But for zombies to advance, they don’t need the flesh and blood of Awakened humans of the sa level. Even low-level Awakened humans and ordinary humans can promote the evolution of zombies…”
After speaking, Huo Sheng forced a bitter smile, “I even have this feeling that zombies arc the more perfect human form and the future of humanity.”
ng Jie said, “No, they’re not the future. They’re just a group of ugly monsters.1‘
As she spoke, she picked up a test tube on the table.
There was 50ml of blood sealed in the test tube.
Handing the test tube to Huo Sheng, ng Jie said, “This is Lu Ming’s blood.”
“1 really don’t have the ans here to analyze Lu Ming’s blood, so I’m giving it to you. Believe , this is the future of our human race.”
Huo Sheng was speechless.
After a mont, he said, “Take to sec him. then.”
Lu Ming was exercising.
The morning had always been Lu Ming’s exercise ti, and this would not change under any circumstances.
When ng Jie and Huo Sheng arrived at Lu Ming’s house, they saw Bai Tianyu, Zhang Lixin, Zhang Chengchcng, Wang Xiong, and the protagonist himself, Lu Ming.
Under the weight of loox gravity, Lu Ming was doing push-ups.
Those intertwined muscles silently portrayed the absolute power that its owner possessed!
It was already half past 10.
Today’s workout was about to co to an end.
Only after Zhang Chengcheng canceled the gravity field and took a brief rest to prepare dinner did the day’s exercise officially conclude.
Fitness was upgraded from Lvi2 (1150/1200) to Lvl3 (280/1300).
This ant that Lu Ming would obtain an additional 0.1 points in all three attributes from his daily exercise.
As a result, Lu Ming’s attributes beca:
Na: Lu Ming
Strength: 86.2 (88) f-
Physique: 86.9 (88.7) f.
Agility: 108.8 (110.4) t*
It was another day filled with power!”
After his exercise ended, Lu Ming noticed that there were quite a few strangers around him.
This made Lu Ming feel sowhat uncomfortable.
He turned around and was about to head back ho when he heard ng Jie’s voice.
“Little Lu, there arc a few people you have to et.”
Lu Ming did not interact much with ng Jie.
However, Lu Ming had great respect for Mong Jie.
He had always respected intellectuals, especially those who had made contributions. Without them, there would be no progress in society, and there would be no good life for ordinary people in the pre-apocalyptic world.
Upon hearing Mong Jie speak, Lu Ming thought for a mont and stopped. He smiled at ng Jie, Huo Sheng, and Bai Tianyu. He listened as ng Jie introduced, “This is Huo Sheng, Dr. Huo, from the official shelter, and this is Bai Tianyu, Mr. Bai, who helped us last ti.1‘
Lu Ming nodded. “Hello to both of you.”
With that, he turned and walked back toward his ho.
This ti, ng Jie did not ask him to stay.
Watching Lu Ming walk away, ng Jie turned to the bewildered Huo Sheng and Bai Tianyu and said, “You’ve t him. Is there anything else?11
Huo Sheng: “???”
Bai Tianyu:”???”
Wfaafs going on?
Huo Sheng could not help but smile bitterly, “This eting was too brief.”
The only response he received was ng Jie’s disdainful glance.
ng Jie muttered, “Little Lu doesn’t like to interact with people, and what he doesn’t like is strictly prohibited here. If he greets you, he has already given a lot of face. So, do you still want to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him?”
Huo Sheng wanted to say that he really wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Lu Ming, but after so thought, he swallowed those words.
Just then, Wang Xiong approached with a smile, “If there’s anything you need, you can talk to . I can decide on most matters, and if there’s sothing I can’t decide, I’ll consult with Brother Lu.”
Bai Tianyu nodded in understanding—he had received the sa treatnt last ti.
On the other hand, Huo Sheng scratched his grayish-white hair.
He could not help but mutter, “Weirdo…”
