Early the next morning, Luo Yuan walked to the ground in the dim morning glow. Everything had disappeared.
The corpses on the streets had been cleared and the collapsed factory had been repaired. It was as if nothing had happened. There was only a faint smell of gunpowder in the air, indicating that the mutated bird had attacked them the night before.
Luo Yuan walked to the Firearms Bureau and asked his secretary to make him a cup of tea. After that, he had nothing to do. The advantage of having a conscientious leader was that he did not have to deal with any documents or tasks.
He turned on his computer and looked up the satellite map of Mushi County. From the satellite, the original location of Mushi County was no different from the wilderness. The traces of human existence had been gradually erased in the past two years. The place had become the territory of mutated beasts.
A few hundred kilometers away, the place had been replaced by the ocean. The whole world had changed beyond recognition. The climate had become warmer and the sea level had risen. The living conditions of human beings had deteriorated rapidly. The land area was less than two to three times its original size.
The whole of East China, South China and North China had disappeared from the map. Half of Sichuan had been submerged. Half of China had become part of the ocean. North and South America had also lost a lot of weight. Other than some land in the middle, the rest of the land had been submerged. As for Europe, which was not high above sea level, it had completely disappeared. Only a series of small islands were left.
Looking at the unfamiliar global map, Luo Yuan looked serious. He felt as if there was a huge rock pressing on his heart.
Even if human beings conquered nature again, they would not be able to go back to their homeland.
He sighed and calmed himself down. He drank the tea beside him, turned off his computer and walked to the underground training ground. Ever since Luo Yuan had "selflessly" helped them during the emergency mission, the members of the Firearms Bureau had been looking at him with respect. Along the way, some of them would come up to greet him.
After giving some advice to Fang Peibin, Luo Yuan walked to an empty corner. The entire training ground occupied an entire floor with a radius of 10 square kilometers. There was no need to worry about finding a quiet place.
Very soon, he stood still and opened the system interface. He added the five remaining skills from the previous upgrade to his Saber Skills. When a skill reached the Expert level, it would take three skill points to level up. (I forgot about it, but luckily Shun You reminded me) But perhaps it was due to the effect of the previous training, he managed to level up two out of the five skill points. Very soon, his Saber Skills became "Expert: 7". His eyes suddenly lit up, emitting a tangible light. At the same time, the aura around his body uncontrollably expanded.
The air vibrated violently and dust floated in the air. The space he was in seemed to have become an independent world. It was separated from the surrounding space. Fortunately, Luo Yuan was standing in the corner. Otherwise, no one would have been able to withstand it.
The space seemed to be integrated with his Will. In this state, he could turn the space into a dark prison. He could also fill it with light. He could set the space on fire or freeze everything. The whole area with a radius of 100 meters was his territory. In this space, he felt like he could do anything he wanted.
Of course, this was just an illusion caused by the expansion of his power. His Will had not reached that level yet. He could only control some natural forces. He could kill ordinary people or low-level mutated beasts, but he would have to rely on his knife to fight against strong mutated beasts.
He closed his eyes and did not dare to move. He carefully experienced this precious moment. The system upgrade had given him experience and understanding. Although he still had memories of it, it could not be compared to this kind of experience.
As this state quickly disappeared, his aura also weakened, and he was only slightly stronger than before he leveled up.
He was slightly disappointed. Ever since he had become a knife expert, it had become more and more difficult to upgrade. Even with the help of the system, it could not be done in one go. Without years of practice, it was impossible to completely master it. As for leveling up through self-training, at this point, this path was no longer feasible.
Since he had reached the expert level, his skills had reached the peak. What he needed to improve was the concentration of his Will. The knife became sharper and stronger, and at the same time, the consumption of each attack decreased. In this aspect, there was not much of an effect to rely on daily practice. The only way to improve was through years of hard work. The martial arts in novels did not exist in reality.
Unless he experienced a life and death battle, he could use the threat of death to force his Will to become more concentrated. However, that method was extremely dangerous. Nobody would think that they were lucky enough to come back safely every time unless they were in a desperate situation.
Taking advantage of this fresh memory, Luo Yuan did not even eat lunch. He practiced his knife for the whole afternoon and only went home after work.
...
The next morning, Luo Yuan was woken up by Wang Shishi before the sun had even risen. Luo Yuan looked at the time and realized that it was only three in the morning. He washed up helplessly and had a quick breakfast. An hour later, Wang Shishi left with an excited look on her face.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. After leaving Hope City, both of them sped up.
What surprised Luo Yuan was that Wang Shishi could keep up with him easily. Although Luo Yuan's speed was not fast and his pace was no different from a normal person's, he could cover 20 to 30 meters with each step and his speed was 50 to 60 meters per second.
Wang Shishi was flying a foot above the ground. She did not seem to be tired at all. Her speed was much faster than before.
Ever since they came to the Reconstruction Area, Luo Yuan had let go of Wang Shishi's supervision. Other than the occasional warning, he had given her freedom.
Fortunately, Wang Shishi was interested in telekinesis. Ever since she came to the Reconstruction Area, she had not stopped practicing her knife skills, but she had never slacked off in her training. It was hard to tell that she was practicing, but in fact, she had integrated training into her daily life. She looked like she was walking, but if one were to observe carefully, one would realize that her feet never touched the ground. She would not even use her hands and feet for things that could be solved with telekinesis.
Luo Yuan had no idea how strong she was now.
Now that he looked at her, he realized that he had underestimated her. With such strength, it would not be a problem for her to enter the Firearms Bureau.
...
An hour later, both of them arrived at the border of the frontline. Luo Yuan handed over his ID and the guard was shocked. He looked at it a few times before saluting and letting them pass. As a special department formed by super evolved humans, the ID of the Firearms Bureau was very convenient to use.
"Big Brother Luo, why did those soldiers call you Major General Luo?" Wang Shishi could no longer hold back her curiosity after they had walked far away.
"The Firearms Bureau is a military department. What's so strange about that?" Luo Yuan said.
"Major General? But that's a major general. He's a big shot. How come I've never heard you mention it before?" Wang Shishi asked when she saw Luo Yuan's casual expression.
"What's there to talk about? The lowest rank in the Firearms Bureau is a colonel. The military rank is worthless."
Luo Yuan did not care about the military rank, but he did not realize the impact it had on ordinary people.
"But he's still a general. You've never mentioned it before. If it wasn't for today, we wouldn't even know about it." Wang Shishi said angrily.
"Alright, stop talking. We're entering the forest soon." Luo Yuan shook his head helplessly.
