Chapter 18

Lu Sheng, unaware of the city’s main entrance, spotted a vast rift slicing the wall top to base and cautiously approached it.

Several terrifyingly powerful zombies were lurking about ten meters away from him.

Approaching nearer, he was gripped by an immense dread that sent shivers racing down his spine.

He felt like a newbie who had just entered a high-level monster map, with every small monster around him capable of killing him in one hit.

“The closer to the base, the stronger the zombies. One can only speculate the martial powerhouses’ levels, these zombies were in their lives.”

Lu Sheng thought in awe to himself.

Stripped of sentience, devoid of discernment, solely the instinct to fight lingered in their physique.

Even in this state, these zombies still gave him such a strong sense of danger, indicating that they were definitely martial arts experts that were hard to imagine in their lives.

Lu Sheng carefully maintained a distance of about ten meters from each zombie.

Through repeated experiments, he found that the safe distance between him and the zombies was about ten meters.

As long as he stayed more than ten meters away from the zombies, he wouldn’t be discovered and wouldn’t attract their attention.

Lu Sheng gradually approached the gap he had set his sights on, carefully avoiding the wandering zombies around him.

If he couldn’t avoid them, he would pick up a stone from the ground and throw it far away to attract the attention of the zombies.

Just like that, he successfully reached the base of the target wall without any danger.

Although the gap was large, it was still seven or eight meters high from the ground.

Fortunately , Lu sheng now possesses the durability of a Level 1 martial artist , with his current ability . He swiftly ascended the wall with the help of dents and gaps present on it.

“The thickness of this city wall is probably more than twenty meters thick, but it was still broken like this…”

Lu Sheng marveled at the sight while walking into the gap.

Until he walked past the inner wall, the scene of the city opened up before him.

All kinds of skyscrapers, streets are different from the world Lu Sheng is currently living in.

Many commuting tools are scattered across the street.

Though most of them has been destroyed or in pieces.

However, upon this gray mist covered ruins, Lu Sheng could still imagine how prosperous this city once was.

“The technology here has to be way more advanced than the world I’m living now, and the world of my past life…”

Lu Sheng jumped off the city wall, and landed on a commuting tool that looked somewhat like a canoe, with smooth shape and giving off a high tech vibe.

“This is probably a highly civilised world in both martial arts and technology.

No wonder the body refining technique and breathing technique are so strong…”

To be noted, the martial arts development in the world Lu Sheng’s living in had only been three hundred years.

Many aspects are still in the experimental stage.

The history books also mentioned that when martial arts were just emerging, the most powerful martial artists in the world were only at the fifth level.

But now, humanity already has many seven-level grandmasters, eight-level grandmasters, and even nine-level martial arts saints.

“Even such a powerful civilization has fallen into the hands of the alien beasts. What about us…”

Lu Sheng suddenly felt a little worried.

In reality, the world he is in is also constantly fighting against the invasion of alien beasts.

Even though martial arts experts among humans are emerging in an endless stream, the living space of the entire human race is still being compressed and reduced.

This is reported on television news every day.

“Anyway, being able to come here is a great opportunity…

This world has failed, but my world may not fail…

I can still draw nutrients from this civilization. When my strength is strong enough in the future, maybe I can spread the advanced martial arts knowledge here…”

Lu Sheng’s eyes became firm again, and at the same time, there was a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

The shock and impact brought to him by this ruined civilization were too great, and his mentality also changed somewhat.

There are many zombies inside the city wall, but their strength is generally weaker, and it is rare to see a few “high-level monsters.”

This is easy to explain.

The city wall protects the fragile civilians, while those with strength naturally gather on the frontline of the battlefield.

Lu Sheng’s exploration progress increased significantly.

He walked into a skyscraper.

It was an ordinary residential building.

Lu Sheng randomly entered a household, but there was no one inside.

The house was divided into several small rooms, but the overall space was very small.

There was a table in the middle of the living room, with some tableware scattered on it.

Lu Sheng imagined that the family was having a meal when the apocalypse suddenly struck.

Lu Sheng felt inexplicably depressed.

There were no zombies in the house. Lu Sheng guessed that under that terrifying black mist, ordinary people might not even have the qualification to transform into zombies.

It is also possible that they had become zombies before, but after a long time of erosion, they decayed due to being too weak.

Lu Sheng walked into a room and found something like a photo frame on the bedside table, but there was no photo inside.

Lu Sheng guessed that this might be something like an electronic photo album. After the energy was exhausted, the photos inside naturally disappeared.

The remaining room should be the child’s room.

In the corner of the room, there was a single small bed, as well as a bookshelf and a desk.

Lu Sheng tried to find some items that could record information.

But the civilization of this world was too advanced, and books had completely broken away from the constraints of paper. He gained nothing.

Finally, Lu Sheng found a palm-sized, lead-gray disc on the desk, less than half a centimeter thick, with traces of remaining text on it.

“Tian…heng… Technology”

Lu Sheng wiped away the dust on the disc and recognized several small characters engraved on the bottom of the disc.

After reading out these characters, Lu Sheng was suddenly shocked.

He actually recognized these characters?!

The language used by this fallen civilization was actually exactly the same as the language used in his real world!
