Then, he started to run.
At first, his speed was like that of an ordinary person. He staggered and almost fell, but after a few seconds, his movements became more agile and his speed kept increasing.
Faster and faster!
On the straight and wide street, a blurry figure flashed past. A worker from a nearby factory was pushing a handcart and dumping the slag from the electric furnace. A gust of wind blew past, and the slag was immediately blown into the air, filling the air with dust.
"There's no wind!" he mumbled, squinting his eyes and looking left and right in a daze. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly emptied the slag from the trolley and hurried back to the factory.
…
As Luo Yuan ran, his Will began to participate in the running. His speed continued to increase, like lightning.
A few minutes later, Luo Yuan appeared in the wild. His speed had reached 200 meters per second, but it was still not his limit.
Compared to before his Dexterity, the distance between his steps was not large. Every step he took was less than 10 meters, about seven to eight meters.
With his current concept of time, it would take too long for him to land on the ground by relying on gravity. Seven to eight meters per step was enough to balance his speed and agility.
This was only running. In a real battle, he would need to move in a small area, so his steps would need to be smaller and more frequent.
With his Will, he could not move at high speed in the air like he could on the ground. His body was slow in the air, and if an attack came, he would not be able to dodge it no matter how high his Dexterity was. He would be a perfect target.
…
In the wild, the terrain became more complicated. It was originally a desert, but there were sand dunes, shrubs, and rocks everywhere. Sand dunes, shrubs, and rocks were everywhere. Other than that, the terrain was undulating, which greatly affected one's vision.
Just as Luo Yuan ran across the high ground, he was faced with a giant rock. The distance between them was about 10 meters. With his current speed of half the speed of sound, he could reach it in an instant. In the past, he only had two choices. He could either decelerate immediately or crash into it. He would not even have time to go around it.
However, Luo Yuan was not affected at all. In a split second, he exerted a little force on his feet and jumped more than 10 meters high. His body rubbed against the giant rock at high speed due to inertia. He even had extra strength to lightly tap on the top of the rock to jump over it without slowing down.
Luo Yuan realized that his Intelligence had not only enhanced his reaction speed during high-speed movements, but it had also improved his control over his strength. Within 10 minutes of getting used to it, he could already control his newly increased Dexterity with relative precision.
After running for a while, Luo Yuan slowly stopped. This was the Gobi Desert. Pieces of weathered giant rocks were scattered in the desert. After tens of thousands of years of exposure to the wind and the sun, the Gobi Desert was wrinkled like a scroll. Its surface was unusually smooth. Under the moonlight, it emitted a moist luster, like a gem.
This was Gobi Jade. It was a valuable collection before the apocalypse, but now it was worthless.
He walked to a giant mushroom-shaped rock. The umbrella-like rock wall above his head blocked the sky. Now that there was an extraterrestrial civilization in space, it was something he had to investigate.
He pulled out his Zhanmadao and began to practice with it. When he first pulled out his Zhanmadao, he could still see the Zhanmadao. However, the next moment, it seemed to have disappeared. There were only occasional pauses where he could catch a glimpse of it. However, these pauses were very short and soon, it disappeared completely. Only a ball of light lingered around Luo Yuan. At the same time, his figure also turned from clear to blurry, and finally turned into a pool of dye. The strong wind gradually swept up the sand, and dust filled the sky. Deep gouges appeared on the rock wall beside him.
...
In the morning, in the captain's office of the Firearms Bureau.
Lin Feiyan was sitting in her seat. She was twirling a pencil in her hand. Her movements were skillful and agile. It was as if the pencil was attached to the back of her hand. No matter how hard she tried, it would not fall off.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Lin Feiyan sat up straight and stopped twirling the pencil in her hand. It would expose her age and damage her dignity.
"Come in!"
"Captain, are you calling for me?" It was her secretary. She was as petite as she was. Of course, the petite part was her personality. She was cautious and always looked like she could be bullied.
"Have you found out what happened recently? Where did they go and what did they do?" Lin Feiyan held the pencil tightly and asked coldly.
The vice-captain and the office director of the Firearms Bureau had disappeared for three days in a row. As the highest leader of the department, she did not know anything about it. How could she not be angry about it?
"I've checked. They booked the train tickets to New Capital City. I can't find out what they did. Should I … ask Director Chen?" The secretary said timidly.
"Then go!" Lin Feiyan snorted and said.
The secretary ran away. Lin Feiyan could not calm down. They went to New Capital City. They actually went to New Capital City!
What else could they do besides meeting the leader of the political center of New Capital City?
This was disorderly and undisciplined. They did not respect her at all. Were they trying to make her a mere figurehead?
She drank the herbal tea that she didn't have time to pour last night in one gulp. The cold tea still couldn't calm the anger in her heart. Her face was gloomy and the pencil in her hand moved so fast that it almost became a phantom.
Soon, the secretary walked closer and Lin Feiyan stopped twirling her pencil again.
"Captain, Director Chen … Director Chen said that this is a Class-A secret. You don't have the authority to know about it." The secretary said timidly.
Crack! The pencil was broken by Lin Feiyan. The office was filled with coldness. The secretary was so scared that her body trembled. She subconsciously moved closer to the door as if she was ready to run away.
Lin Feiyan's chest was heaving up and down. However, she was still rational. Chen Xinjie would not lie about such a serious matter. It was definitely a Class-A secret. However, Chen Xinjie was only in charge of logistics in the Firearms Bureau. She did not have a source of information.
Lin Feiyan thought that this incident was caused by the annoying Deputy Captain. He must have been lucky enough to find something extraordinary. Therefore, he explained the situation to Chen Xinjie, which led to this trip to New Capital City.
However, why did he not report to her? Was he disregarding the discipline of the organization or did he not respect her at all?
"Inform all departments to hold a meeting immediately!"
"O … Okay!"
"Come back. Oh yes, is the Deputy Captain here?" She suddenly thought of something and stopped the secretary who was about to escape.
"Not yet!"
"Then I'll inform you when the Deputy Captain is here!" Lin Feiyan said the last sentence while gritting her teeth.
The secretary hurriedly responded and quickly closed the door and left like a frightened rabbit.
Lin Feiyan stood up and paced back and forth in the office for a few minutes. Then, she sat down again and started to think hard while biting the pencil. Soon, she started to write the speech for the meeting.
Her useless secretary could not do this kind of thing well. She could not understand the deep meaning that she wanted to express. Especially now that the situation was complicated and her position was unstable, she could only write the speech herself.
