I can equip strange items

Around 5 a.m., Li Yuan finally left Linjiang City and moved away from the suburbs.

"It's almost six o'clock, let's give the bamboo sword one last boost."

He pulled out the bamboo knife and examined it, discovering that there were a few cracks on the blade.

It was obviously damaged when it fought against the evil spirits in that special space.

He frowned slightly, sheathed his sword again, and then sacrificed twenty percent of his current vital energy in one breath.

After the reinforcement was complete, he pulled out the bamboo knife again and saw that the cracks on the blade had disappeared.

"As expected, the equivalent evolution modifier not only enhances items but also repairs them to some extent."

Although this kind of repair may have limitations, such as the inability to handle missing parts, etc.

But Li Yuan was quite satisfied.

He sheathed his sword again, thought for a moment, and then sacrificed ten percent of his vital energy before stopping.

"With my current physical condition, sacrificing 30% of my energy in one go should be more than the previous 50%."

After the sacrificial enhancement was completed, the bamboo sword in his hand weighed at least six kilograms.

"Not bad, I'll continue strengthening it tonight."

Li Yuan was satisfied, then took a long detour back to the highway and strode towards Donghe City.

I wonder if I'll be able to flag down a car?

Linjiang City is quite far from Donghe City; if you really wanted to walk there slowly, it would probably take half a month.

However, there are many county towns in between, so you should be able to find cars. It's far from being completely paralyzed; there are just fewer cars at night.

Time quickly came to six o'clock in the morning.

The effect of the "Master of Staying Up Late" stat has ended, and Li Yuan's strength has dropped back to the normal Level 3 Ominous state.

Fortunately, the energy and spirit I had previously depleted have almost been fully restored.

Since he didn't have the "night owl" label to boost his daytime energy, he didn't dare to waste his energy recklessly, lest he encounter an unexpected situation.

"However, with my current strength, even without the 'Master of Staying Up All Night' tag, I should be able to easily handle most enemies."

As Li Yuan hurried along, he looked back, preparing to flag down a car.

Finally, after more than twenty minutes, the first car came into view.

This was a private car, so Li Yuan's attempt to stop the car did not get the driver to stop.

However, he did not give up. He immediately accelerated and caught up with the car, knocking on the window.

"Holy crap..."

The driver was so startled that he instinctively stepped on the gas.

However, Li Yuan accelerated again, maintaining a relatively stationary position relative to the car.

"Could you please give me a ride? I'm in a hurry. I can pay the fare first!"

He simply pulled out a large wad of cash and waved it around.

A few minutes later, Li Yuan promised to pay 10,000 yuan for the fare first, and another 10,000 yuan upon arrival at the destination, and then successfully got into the back seat of the private car.

This is a private car, not a taxi, so it's understandable that it costs more.

After all, it's not exactly close from Linjiang City to Donghe City.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Yuan is indeed anxious, worried that Lu Jiayin will not be able to protect that strange item, as he values ​​it very much.

Anyway, he had 30,000 yuan in cash on him, and if he spent some of it, his pockets wouldn't be too full.

Because he was worried about network problems, he didn't dare deposit the money in the bank last night; it was safer to keep it in cash.

Like Yan Qin, she also withdrew some cash and kept it just in case.

Around noon, Li Yuan ate some food given to him by the private car driver, and then was about to lean back in his seat and take a nap.

Suddenly, Lu Jiayin sent a WeChat message: "Old Zhang has sacrificed himself."

Li Yuan was taken aback and quickly typed, "What happened?"

Lu Jiayin: "Levin City has fallen. The specific reason is still unknown, but almost all the residents in the city have gone out of control, a bit like zombies, but no infection has been found yet."

Levin City has fallen?

Li Yuan gasped.

When they passed through Levin City before, although the city was in chaos, with looting, vandalism, and free shopping everywhere, it was far from being overrun.

In just three or four days, a city suddenly fell?

He realized once again that the world had truly changed, becoming dangerous and alien.

"Was it caused by some strange object?" he typed again.

Lu Jiayin: "It's possible, but it could also be the eeriness itself."

Immediately after, she sent another message: "The information you provided earlier has been completely confirmed. The dog is a monster, the shopkeeper is a monster, the car has been seized, and the situation on the highway is currently uncertain. All things considered, you should receive a reward of thirty points. However, you can only earn these points after becoming an exorcist."

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Only thirty points? The information I provided involves two strange things."

Lu Jiayin: "That's quite a lot. After all, what you provided was just intelligence. If you personally captured a monster to trade for, three hundred points wouldn't be a small amount."

Well, that makes some sense.

Li Yuan: "What are the higher-ups planning to do about the situation in Levin City?"

Lu Jiayin: "Because there are almost no survivors, and we can't be sure how to avoid getting infected, we are just sealing off and observing for now."

Thinking of zombie movies, Li Yuan typed with some concern, "Will the out-of-control residents of Levin City come out?"

Lu Jiayin: "The disaster has only been going on for a short time, so we don't know yet. But even if we can get out, the higher-ups definitely won't allow this to happen."

Li Yuan thought for a moment, then asked one last question: "Do you know how Mr. Zhang sacrificed his life? Did they also die from the infection?"

Lu Jiayin: "No, that's not it. Perhaps they were not infected when they first entered the city, but were instead besieged and killed by an endless stream of out-of-control residents."

An endless stream of out-of-control residents?

Isn't this just like being a zombie?

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and typed, "Please accept my condolences."

Lu Jiayin: "When are you coming?"

Li Yuan: "It's already on its way."

After ending his conversation with Lu Jiayin, Li Yuan's expression turned solemn.

A city can fall without warning.

This is horrible.

"But...could the chaos before have been a sign?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but take out his phone to search online, and indeed found no city with the chaos that Levin City had experienced before.

At least in other cities, there have been no reports of zero-dollar purchases or looting and vandalism so far.

Although some information about Levin City has surfaced online, no one believes it.

The authorities should intervene.

Otherwise, if even one or two outside survivors were to post the video online, it would definitely cause a huge uproar, and it wouldn't be as calm as it is now.

"Wait... if even a major event like Levin City could be suppressed, could similar catastrophes have occurred elsewhere but been concealed?"

Li Yuan suddenly realized this, and his pupils contracted slightly.

He was slow to react because he was struggling financially and had no time to pay attention to other things. It wasn't until he experienced abnormalities himself that he realized the strange changes in the world.

However, Yan Qin realized that something was wrong half a month ago and actually prepared supplies in advance.

The Bureau of Abnormal Affairs has already been established, and its system seems to be quite comprehensive.

This suggests that the changes in nature may have started long ago, but the general public was unaware of them.

"It's all eerie and demonic stuff, and now even other worlds are popping up... I wonder where this world will go from here?"

Li Yuan put away his phone and took a deep breath.

"It seems that the pursuit of strength must not stop. Only by being strong enough can we prevent any unforeseen events."

Just as I was about to rest, Yan Qin suddenly sent me a message: "I heard something happened in Levin City, did you know?"

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow and typed, "Where did you hear that from?"
