He tore off his tattered clothes one by one and threw them on the ground, revealing a bulletproof vest made of turtle eggs.
He walked to the door and pressed the button. As the door slowly rose, his face became tense and his hand slowly pressed on the handle of his knife.
No matter how perfect a disguise was, it was still different. Be it skin color, eyes, expression, or some habits, as long as one was familiar with him, they would be able to tell.
Fortunately, what Luo Yuan was worried about did not happen. The soldier at the door glanced at Luo Yuan and immediately saluted him before looking down again.
Luo Yuan nodded slightly and left quickly without any expression.
When he passed by the Mayor's office, he took another look inside. Mayor Song had obviously left. A beautiful woman was sitting in front of the Mayor's desk, frowning and flipping through some documents from time to time.
"Could it be the new secretary?" Luo Yuan was a little confused and stopped walking. Seeing that the woman seemed to be looking up, Luo Yuan quickly left the place.
Luo Yuan knew that the group of wanderers had some accomplices, at least one of them was a mind power user. However, he was not in a good condition and could not continue fighting.
It was not his physical injuries that were bad, but his brain. Ever since he had used the mental attack, his brain had been in a tearing pain, and there was no sign of it getting better.
What was worse was that he was hallucinating.
For example, he could see a patch of colorful, ever-changing scales in front of him. Of course, it could also be something else.
This scale was very strange. He could see it, but he couldn't describe it. As the scale continued to undergo indescribable changes, a large amount of information flooded his brain, almost causing his brain to crash. If such a situation were to happen again in battle, he shuddered at the thought of it. However, this illusion appeared and disappeared quickly. In less than 0.1 seconds, there was no trace of it.
Moreover, he had forgotten about the hallucinations after seeing them. When he tried to recall, he only knew that he had had a few hallucinations before, but he had no memory of what they were, what color, what shape, or how big they were.
He had a hunch that there would be some side effects from using the mental attack, but he did not expect it to be so serious.
Luo Yuan's heart was heavy as he walked quickly.
Along the way, there were people who nodded at him respectfully and avoided him. There were also people who peeked at Luo Yuan suspiciously. However, nothing happened until Luo Yuan left the City Hall building. The chances of him being recognized were even lower when he walked outside. Using Su Yu's name, he was unimpeded.
When he was near the sewer maintenance room, Luo Yuan changed back to his original face.
While the soldiers were not paying attention, Luo Yuan dashed to the door of the maintenance room. The door was not locked, so he pushed it open and closed it again. The whole process took less than 0.5 seconds. Other than the dust on the street, there was no other sound.
…
"How's the situation outside? Have you found out who it is?" Xu Zhiqiang asked as soon as he saw Luo Yuan.
"Mr. Luo, are we wanted?" Xiao Baihong asked immediately.
Wen Yujie was more attentive. She noticed that Luo Yuan had taken off his jacket and asked worriedly, "How did you get into a fight? Are you hurt? “
"Half of the problem is solved!" Luo Yuan said while enduring the pain, "I killed the leader, but I didn't meet the mind controller. We'll have to wait for the next time!"
Xu Zhiqiang opened his mouth and looked at Luo Yuan in shock. He felt as if he had punched too hard into cotton. He thought to himself, "Didn't you say you were going to get some information? How did you solve half of the problem so quickly?" Also, don't make it sound like you just went out to buy some vegetables. "
However, he could only think about it. He said dryly, "So, the mastermind has been taken care of. Other than the mind controller, there are only two or three small fish left."
Luo Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Something like that!"
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
"Mr. Luo …"
Xu Zhiqiang wanted to ask again, but Wen Yujie interrupted him angrily, "Alright, stop asking. Can't you see that Brother Luo is not feeling well?"
Only then did everyone realize that Luo Yuan's face was as pale as a sheet and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. They quickly kept quiet.
Luo Yuan closed his eyes and leaned against the wall for a while. He opened his eyes again and said, "Zhang Wu, I have a question that I'd like to ask you."
"Mr. Luo, you're too kind. Just ask away!" Zhang Wu quickly said. There was a strict hierarchy among evolved humans. Although there was no hierarchy even during the apocalypse, it was necessary to maintain the necessary respect for those who were more powerful.
"Forgive me for asking, but I'd like to know what the ability of your third eye is?"
Luo Yuan asked. He saw Zhang Wu secretly looking around, so he waved his hand and said, "Can you guys go out for a while?"
The ability of the third eye on Zhang Wu's forehead was his most private secret. It was also his hidden trump card. He could not let anyone know about it, not even those who were close to him. If Luo Yuan, the only level five evolved human in the Desert City, had not asked, he would not have told him.
After everyone left, he hesitated for a while and seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "My third eye is actually a special eye. I've classified it into three abilities, namely, Delirium, Psychic and Micro.
Delirium means that it can see through all illusions, including darkness, fog and strong light. For example, Xiao Wen's light refraction does not work on me.
As for Spirit Channeling, it can be understood literally. I can see the souls of people when they die. "
"Souls? Do people really have souls?" Luo Yuan asked curiously.
In fact, he had seen souls before. At the beginning of the apocalypse, when he had moved to Hedong City, there had been a haunted locust tree near his house. However, he had not seen it since. Even now, he could not confirm whether what he had seen were real souls or not.
"I'm not sure either. Maybe it's a spiritual fluctuation after death. They exist for a very short time and die very quickly, whether it's day or night."
"What about Micro?" Luo Yuan asked.
Zhang Wu hesitated for a while before he said, "That's the most powerful of the three abilities. It can speed up my time. In my eyes, it's like the world has slowed down. Don't be fooled by the fact that I have trouble dealing with level three mutated beasts. Under these circumstances, I can even fight level four mutated beasts."
He explained his abilities in detail. If Luo Yuan still could not tell that he had other requests, the 14 points of Intelligence would have been wasted. However, Luo Yuan did not mind. He would give whatever he could, and he would not be stingy. If he could not, who would force him?
He noticed a problem. Wasn't this phenomenon just like adding points to Dexterity? However, his combat power could not be increased by that much.
Adding points to Dexterity increased one's reflexes. In order to unleash combat power, one must have Strength, Physique and Intelligence. Without Strength, one would not be able to unleash speed. Without Physique, one would not be able to withstand continuous explosive force. Without Intelligence, one's reflexes would be slow during a battle.
Based on his experience, if he only increased his Dexterity, the more points he added, the less significant the increase in his combat power would be.
He asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't you be unable to react in time?"
"How could that be?" Zhang Wu said blankly. "My time has been accelerated, but my reflexes are still the same!"
Luo Yuan was shocked. He realized that this phenomenon was very different from adding points to Dexterity. Could it really be related to time?
Luo Yuan realized that the more he interacted with these evolved people, the more mysterious they were. He had been shocked by Xu Zhiqiang's ability before, but he had not expected that there would be an even more mysterious person in front of him. Compared to these evolved people, the Earth ability that he had always been proud of was somewhat insignificant.
But then again, although time was high and mighty, and all kinds of novels and movies were not stingy in giving it a mysterious veil of praise, this kind of ability was really not that powerful. Whether it was Xu Zhiqiang or the rebels, they could all be easily killed, let alone Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan regained his composure, but he did not forget the purpose of his question. "Other than that, there's nothing else. For example, hallucinations."
"Hallucinations, no hallucinations!" Zhang Wu said.
Seeing that he was not lying, Luo Yuan's heart sank. How could this be? Could it be that his brain was really damaged?
Based on the level of biomedicine, the complex and sophisticated brain was still an unfamiliar field. Most of the mental patients who had hallucinations in their brain were basically incurable.
He touched the area between his eyebrows, which was still faintly painful. He could not help but feel a little annoyed.
He took a deep breath and controlled his emotions, calming himself down. "I also know that evolved ability is everyone's privacy. Since you have asked so many questions, I can't just sit back and do nothing. What do you want? Just tell me."
"I don't want anything. I want to follow you!" Zhang Wu said quickly, looking a little nervous.
"Follow me? I have neither power nor influence. Why do you want to follow me? "Luo Yuan asked." Besides, the shelter will be back to normal soon. You don't have to hide anymore.
"Desert City is done for. It has been so many days, but there is still no response from the higher-ups. Obviously, they have given up." Zhang Wu looked nervous. He felt more helpless than when he had his first interview after graduation.
"There are only two ways to stay here. One is to move inland to the Reconstruction Area, and the other is to stay here. If we are lucky, we can wait for the Reconstruction Area to counterattack before the food and resources are exhausted. If we are unlucky, we can only wait for death. Either way is very dangerous. My ability is limited. If I want to live, the best way is to follow you. "
"You are very honest." Luo Yuan said indifferently. "If you want to follow me, then follow me!"
Zhang Wu was ecstatic. In the past two days, he had learned that the legendary level five evolved person was gentle and polite. He did not have the arrogance of a normal strong person. That was why he wanted to use this opportunity to show his ability.
He did not expect to make the right bet. To him, there was nothing shameful about following a strong person. Whether it was the society before the apocalypse or now, following the right person was the most important thing. Not to mention, this was an extremely powerful person.
He was not ambitious. Power and status were like castles on the beach. They could be blown away by the wind. Everything was fake. Only survival was real.
