Luo Yuan washed up and walked into the master bedroom on the first floor. Huang Jiahui had already laid out the mat and brought a basin of water.
"Why don't you wash up in the bathroom?" Luo Yuan asked casually. He saw a stack of old newspapers on the bedside table and picked them up.
"There are too many people around. I'm not used to it." Huang Jiahui glanced at Luo Yuan and took off her clothes, revealing her voluptuous body. She then started to wipe herself gently.
"Just bear with it for a while. Things will get better in the future," Luo Yuan said while reading the newspaper.
"I'm satisfied to be able to live here. Compared to the outside world, this is like heaven." Huang Jiahui sighed and said, "Sigh, how long have we not lived together?"
Luo Yuan did not speak. Huang Jiahui turned around and saw him frowning. His attention was completely attracted by the newspaper.
… …
"New agricultural products welcome a bumper harvest. The Reconstruction Area will bid farewell to famine."
"The darkness before the dawn. We have gained a firm foothold."
"Unity is a stronghold. Humans control their own destiny."
"New bio-composite research successful. It is expected to completely replace steel."
"An eight-star rocket and several new long-distance rockets have been successfully launched. They will completely replace the satellites paralyzed by the magnetic storm."
"Xunlong-2 CPU has been officially put into production. Domestic CPUs have officially followed Intel's footsteps."
Luo Yuan flipped through the newspaper quickly. Most of the time, he only glanced at it and then moved on to the next page. He would only read carefully when he was interested in something, but it would not take more than 10 seconds. With his brain's processing speed, he could read ten lines at a time.
Most of the newspaper's content was encouraging and passionate. It was serious and depressing at the same time, making it hard for people to relax. However, the battlefield was the best catalyst for technology. Under the threat of the mutated beasts, the technology in the Reconstruction Area seemed to have entered a state of explosion. Almost a quarter of the newspaper's pages were introducing new materials, new technology, and new techniques.
Humans' resilience was beyond imagination. They had gone through unimaginable natural disasters, beast attacks, and man-made disasters. Although humans had been defeated, they still stood strong. As time passed, they seemed to have become stronger.
Many people thought that the military technology was 10 or 20 years more advanced than the civilian technology. However, this was not accurate.
In times of peace, military technology often lagged behind civilian use, except for some advanced weapons. Military equipment had strict requirements for stability. The most advanced technology was often the most immature technology. In addition to the nuclear threat before the apocalypse, the world was generally stable. There was no urgent need to upgrade the military. Not to mention China, even a country as powerful as the US still uses technology from the 70s and 80s on a large scale in some of their electronic equipment.
In addition to the cost, the technological content of the military was not satisfactory.
Only during times of war, when the entire society entered a state of war, would such a saying be realized. All the advanced civilian technology would flood into the military field, and all the wisdom of mankind would be used by the military.
The current war was a hundred times crueler than World War II. After all, World War II was a war between humans, so there was still room for negotiation. On the surface, there was still some consideration for humanitarianism. However, this time, it was a war between races. They could not afford to lose. There was no compromise. Failure meant extinction!
…
Huang Jiahui looked at Luo Yuan after her shower. Her eyes were watery, as if they were about to bleed. She sat on his lap and patted his back. She said coquettishly, "Don't look at it anymore. You can look at it tomorrow. Time to sleep."
"Wait, let me watch for a while more," Luo Yuan said.
…
Desert City was quiet and peaceful in the early morning.
Luo Yuan held the handle of his saber in his hand and stood still in the courtyard. His whole body was emitting a depressing aura. His skin was crystal clear and fair, exuding a faint glow. Not only his skin, but his hair, Zhanmadao, and even his clothes were also emitting a strange glow.
The power of his Will enveloped his whole body. As time passed, he suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon.
His Sensory Perception was extending and expanding rapidly. If it was within two to three meters, he even felt like he could control everything. However, there was not much improvement underground.
Luo Yuan thought for a while and understood.
If his Sensory Perception could leave a mark on the Zhanmadao, it could naturally leave a mark on other objects as well.
Under the impact of a large amount of Will, the air molecules nearby were infected by it. As the air molecules spread, his Sensory Perception naturally expanded as well.
There was a hint of joy on his face. As he thought about it, the glow of Will suddenly disappeared.
However, Luo Yuan did not care at all. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
He suddenly realized that the use of Will in the past was too rough. He did not have enough imagination. Other than a few limited applications, he had not systematically explored it. Since the attribute of Will was omnipotent, naturally, it could be used in any situation.
For example, he could leave a mark of Will on someone's clothes so that they would not be able to escape no matter what.
Another example would be the curse that he had encountered in the past, which caused people to die without knowing why.
There was also hypnosis and suggestion. These abilities might not be useful in the wild, and their effects would be limited when facing mutated beasts. However, in the reconstruction area, in the human society, it would be very useful.
The system of the reconstruction area was strict, and the laws were strict. In the wild, one could easily seek revenge, and they could also pay attention to one's thoughts. However, in the reconstruction area, it would not work. Not only would violence not solve the problem, but it would also cause trouble. No matter how confident he was, he would not dare to go against the state.
Moreover, it was not easy for him to settle down. Was he going to travel to the end of the world and live the life of a savage?
Compared to violence, which would cause endless trouble, Will could be invisible. It could kill people without a trace, but it could not be stained with blood!
At this moment, Lin Xiaoji yawned and walked over lazily. He said casually, "Boss Luo, are you practicing?"
Luo Yuan looked at him and nodded. Since entering the reconstruction area, his attitude had changed. In the past, when he saw Luo Yuan, he would be like a mouse seeing a cat. He would avoid Luo Yuan, but now he could greet him as if nothing had happened. However, his expression was slightly unnatural. Under Luo Yuan's gaze, he quickly looked away.
It seemed that after entering the reconstruction area, he had his own ideas.
