The sound of footsteps echoed in the dark and spacious underground parking lot.
Twain huffed and puffed as he pulled his upper body out of the car window.
"It's done. If I hadn't learned how to repair cars, I might not have been able to do it. This car belongs to us now. "
"Didn't you say to walk?" Lu Sheng was speechless.
"Since we're already passing by, it's better to be prepared." Tang En would never say that he came here only because he saw his favorite car model and could not move his legs.
The two quickly got into the car. With a hum, the car started up slowly.
"How much gas do we have?" Lu Sheng asked.
"Not much. It's enough for us to get there." Twain skillfully turned the key. No one knew where he got it from, but the car lights were switched on.
The black car slowly drove out of the parking lot.
The sound of the engine was weak, obviously proportional to the car's grade.
Sitting in the car, Lu Sheng could barely feel himself moving.
"Hey, Twain." He retracted his gaze from the window and looked at the driver's seat.
But the person who appeared in the driver's seat was a fair-skinned woman with a ponytail!
Twain's eyes were rolled back as he fell asleep in the passenger seat.
Under the woman's control, the car drove faster and faster without saying a word.
Lu Sheng's eyes widened. He quickly reached out and opened the door beside Twain. He did the same and threw himself out.
Crash!
The two fell to the ground. The car made a sharp turn with the door open and crashed into the fence by the side of the road. Then, it crashed down the viaduct.
Bang!
There was a loud noise. Then, after a few rolls, there was no more movement.
Lu Sheng got up from the ground. This body's reflexes were weaker than he had imagined. Fortunately, he was still in a good state. Even when he rolled down the door at high speed, he was not injured.
But Twain was miserable. There was a wound on his thigh and blood was gushing out.
Lu Sheng took off his T-shirt and quickly pressed the blood vessels on the side of the wound. He tied it up with the T-shirt. This prevented a lot of bleeding.
"Good thing I didn't hurt the artery." He made a rough judgment. Although the human body structure in this world was different from the world he had come into contact with before, there were still many similarities in the basic areas.
"Ugh …" Tang En was slowly awakened from his coma by the pain.
"Oh my god …!" He immediately saw the wound on his thigh, and he immediately started sweating.
"Weren't you driving just now? Why are you suddenly in the front passenger seat? "Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
"I … I don't know either …" Tang En gritted his teeth. "It hurts! So painful! I'm going to die! "
"Bear with it. Look for a supermarket or pharmacy nearby. Maybe we can find some clean water to wash it. "Lu Sheng helped him to the side of the road.
At the end of the viaduct, there was a roadside supermarket. It was empty and there was not a single person inside.
However, Lu Sheng couldn't believe what he was seeing.
When he got into the car, he clearly saw Tang En driving. In the end, in less than a minute, he suddenly became another woman he did not know.
The level of trouble in this world was perhaps even more than he had expected.
Clang.
The two of them slammed open the glass door of the supermarket. Lu Sheng tore off the metal chain padlock and strode in.
The supermarket seemed to have been ransacked. The shelves were empty and there were only a few items.
Tang En followed behind Lu Sheng, limping.
"I used to come to this supermarket often. Back then, there was Peraldi selling things here. Now …"
"Peraldi? What's that? "Lu Sheng asked casually.
A magazine was thrown at him from behind. He caught it and brought it to his front to take a look.
On the white cover of the magazine was an enchanting dark-skinned girl. The girl was only wearing a bikini, and her long hair was let down. There was a kind of wild sex appeal to her.
There was also a line of words on the side: Peraldi, a more permanent choice ~ ~
"Alright." Lu Sheng shook his head.
The two of them quickly found a few bottles of clean water in the storeroom at the back of the supermarket.
Lu Sheng used the clean water to wash Tang En's wound. Then, he found some clean disposable underwear. He removed the packaging and used it as gauze to bandage Tang En's wound.
By the time they were done, the sky outside had begun to darken.
Lu Sheng used the flashlight he found to illuminate the area. He brought Tang En around the room at the back of the supermarket.
They made sure they did not run into any of those weird guys. Then, they found a separate room and moved the food and drinks they found into it. They closed the door and locked it from the inside.
Only then did the two of them rest on the sofa and the bed.
Tang En curled up in the gap between his feet under the bookcase. He did not turn on the flashlight, and his whole body was curled up. It was a narrow space, but it gave him a sense of security.
He looked at Lu Sheng, who was lying on the single-seater sofa.
"Thomas. Do you think we can find other living people? "
"Definitely." Lu Sheng said calmly.
"Why are you so sure?"
"Why? Maybe it's a man's intuition? "Lu Sheng smiled.
"Men have intuition too?"
"Why not?"
Lu Sheng played with the pink phone in his hand. The screen of the phone flickered with a faint fluorescent light. It showed the original owner's picture on the lock screen.
It was a young girl with long hair and pretty facial features. The girl's eyes were very big, and they had a kind of lovable and watery feeling. She wore a dark red tight-fitting sweater that accentuated her impressive figure.
But what caught Lu Sheng's attention was the line of text message prompts recorded under the lock screen.
Usually, text message prompts would have some brief content at the beginning, which would be displayed on the lock screen.
This was the case at the moment. The beginning of the text message was:
"The fire outside has just been ignited. If … "
There was no more at the end.
Click.
Lu Sheng turned off the screen.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Tang En's voice came from under the bookcase.
"Nothing. I want to resume my combat training, "Lu Sheng replied casually.
"Have you trained before?"
"Yes, a little."
"What about firearms?" Tang En asked curiously.
"No, but compared to guns, I trust my fists more," Lu Sheng replied.
"Can fists be better than guns? You've been training for more than ten years. I can do it with a pistol … "
Shh …
Lu Sheng raised a finger to signal silence.
Tang En's voice stopped abruptly.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
A series of extremely rhythmic footsteps came slowly from outside the minimart.
Soon, outside the window, in the corridor, a dark figure slowly passed by the room and walked towards the innermost storeroom.
The footsteps gradually disappeared as they got further away.
After a long while, when the sound could no longer be heard, Lu Sheng exhaled.
"That's it?" Tang En asked softly, peeking his head out from under the bookcase.
"Yes, it's gone." Lu Sheng nodded. "It should be fine now. Rest well."
"Phew … rest well. Hope everything goes well tomorrow." Tang En breathed a sigh of relief.
"I hope so."
The two did not speak again. They only quieted down.
The flashlight was switched off by Lu Sheng.
Using the faint moonlight that seeped in through the window, he placed the phone in his hand beside him. Then, he laid his body flat and closed his eyes to rest.
However, before resting, he had to do one more thing.
'Deep Blue,' Lu Sheng called in his mind.
"Swoosh."
A light blue interface popped up before his eyes.
"Only display the boxes that belong to this world," Lu Sheng ordered again.
Immediately, the originally densely packed skill boxes quickly shrunk, and in the end, only a single one was left.
"Heart Illusion Assassination Fist, Uninitiated. (Special trait: None.)"
"This is it. Improve my Heart Illusion Assassination Fist to the rudimentary level." Lu Sheng glanced at the three colorful crystals on it. 30 billion Mental Energy units should be enough to start with. There was no rush for now.
As soon as the order was given, the box in front of Lu Sheng instantly blurred.
A few seconds later, Lu Sheng felt an icy cold current gushing out from his chest. The cold current flowed through his blood vessels throughout his body. His body temperature, which had been slightly warm earlier, quickly dropped to a ridiculous level.
However, this feeling only lasted for a short while.
Soon, the blurred box became clear again.
"Heart Illusion Assassination Fist, rudimentary. (Special trait: None.) "
"Hmm …" The rudimentary Assassination Fist gave Lu Sheng the feeling that his body's functions were strengthened. However, this strengthening was mostly in terms of agility and precision. The improvement to his strength and physique was very limited.
'I've never tried this before. Let's give it a try.' Lu Sheng roughly estimated the Mental Energy he used. It was about 10 units.
'Ten units of Mental Energy at the rudimentary level. As expected of the highest high-energy world. Let's see how it goes. ' As he sensed the Mental Energy surging in his body, Lu Sheng closed his eyes slowly and rested for a while.
Although this body might become very powerful in the future, it was only the body of an ordinary student right now.
He still needed the necessary rest and sleep.
After sleeping for slightly more than four hours, Lu Sheng woke up at the first glimmer of dawn.
He rubbed his cheeks and got up from the sofa.
He saw Tang En curled up into a ball under the bookcase. His head was tilted as he leaned against the wall. He was sound asleep. It seemed like he had not had a good night's sleep for a long time.
He did not wake Tang En up.
Lu Sheng got up from the sofa and stomped his feet. He moved his slightly numb feet.
He raised his fist and punched forward lightly.
'The increase in strength is very small, but my speed is much faster. It's like a real pro who's been boxing for years. '
Lu Sheng made a rough estimation. If Thomas could throw one to two punches per second before this, he would be at the standard of an ordinary person.
Now, he could throw three punches per second. Moreover, they were all standard punches.
'My body feels lighter too. Not bad. It's better than I expected. Now, I just have to wait for my body to completely adapt to this strengthening, and then I'll be able to level up. '
Just like in other worlds, the strengthening of Mental Energy required a process. This was an ongoing process, not something that could be completed in one go.
Lu Sheng estimated the time. It would take about two days for him to level up to the next level.
'If this was any other world, I wouldn't even need half a day to get used to this basic boxing technique. It's not like here … '
Lu Sheng finally understood what the most troublesome part of this world was. It was not the increased consumption of Mental Energy, but the buffering and strengthening time that his body needed every time he leveled up.
