Those who reincarnate must die.

Chapter 199 Target—Sacred Capital!

For the next period of time, Zhang Lang will first need to try to adapt to his new abilities!

Superfat makes him look much lower in body fat than before, which means that if he were to return to his original visual state, his body would store several times more energy and he wouldn't appear bloated or obese!

To achieve this goal, Zhang Lang ate all sorts of good food. At the same time, he continued to hone his strength by training his body, adapting to the powerful effects brought by stronger attributes!

After all, his current power level is too high. Such a significant, exponential increase could cause damage to the surrounding environment with every move he makes. He would have to handle everything with extreme care, which would be very inconvenient. (Google search reading)

Once he had adapted to the situation, he picked up the wolf pelts again and began needlework.

First, he used the black wolf pelt to make another coat, following the original design. Now that he had his superhuman hands, he could make the leather smoother and thinner, and the stitches finer. Not only could he work faster, but the clothes he made also looked much better.

Carrying the black wolfskin coat, which was more luxurious and beautiful than the ordinary wolfskin coat, Zhang Lang was quite satisfied. However, he wasn't in a hurry to wear it; he could wait until the ordinary wolfskin coat wore out and use it as a replacement. After all, in the apocalypse, resources had to be used sparingly.

After finishing the coat, he had used up most of the black wolf pelt, so he picked up the ghost bear pelt.

Although the material is not as good as that of the black wolf leader with specialized fur, it is still much better than ordinary wolf skin. Moreover, because it does not have hardening properties, the ghost bear skin is softer and more comfortable after tanning, making it suitable for making underwear.

He changed his shorts first, since the previous pair was too rough and bulky.

Then, his second bearskin creation was a pair of pants!

With a coat in hand, pants are a must. The bearskin is quite elastic, but he still made them a bit loose to avoid restricting movement. As long as the style is acceptable, that's fine.

Underwear, jacket, pants, and all that's left is a vest...

Zhang Lang did try to make a long-sleeved leather T-shirt, but wearing it with an overcoat on top of it felt really strange with two layers of wolf skin... He finally tried to make the leather thinner, which made it a little better.

As for the leftover scraps, he used them to make a pair of gloves... Because of his ability to return to simplicity, the gloves have now become an important piece of equipment for him, and he always carries them with him to prevent this ability from blocking out certain things.

Finally, Zhang Lang managed to get a bearskin suit to match his wolfskin coat. Although the outfit looked a bit odd, it didn't really matter in this world where he was all alone...

On this day, Zhang Lang stood at the eastern entrance of Anning Town, carrying a weapon box he had brought back from Qingyang County in his left hand, which was filled with iron ingots and stones. In his right hand, he held the most accurate stopwatch in the town's clockmaker's house, bowed slightly, and faced the central avenue that ran through the entire town.

"start!"

With a command from the mind, Zhang Lang suddenly shot out like a cannonball, leaving a trail of afterimages as he crossed the central avenue. As he rushed past the Li Family Deli in the west of the town, he pressed the stopwatch!

After slowing down and stabilizing, Zhang Lang put down the box in his hand, looked at the stopwatch, and saw that the pointer was at around 11.3 seconds.

Zhang Lang measured the distance from the east entrance of the town to Li's Delicatessen on the west side—exactly one kilometer! He had just been testing how long it would take him to run one kilometer!

This time, thanks to the enhancement of his speed, he no longer flew into the sky step by step, but ran close to the ground the whole time. When sprinting, his body leaned forward highly, almost parallel to the ground. His movements were also highly optimized, and his speed was indeed greatly improved!

You should know that in the previous Rift competition, it would take him several tens of seconds to run a kilometer of the minion path. Now his speed has increased by more than double!

Of course, the significant enhancement of his attributes is also a factor, but the effect of optimized running form cannot be ignored! Sprinting close to the ground the whole way is much faster than jumping three times in a row!

As for the heavy object he was carrying, it weighed over two tons and was something Zhang Lang had deliberately carried.

He was testing his speed not only to see how fast he could run, but also to prepare for his next move!

He plans to go to the capital!

The capital of the State of Lu was once a sacred city, one of the most prosperous metropolises in the world!

This is not only to fulfill a past dream, but more importantly, as the center of the State of Lu, there must be more supernatural creations there, and perhaps even stronger weapons and more powerful equipment!

Therefore, he started training with weighted running in advance to make it easier to carry things back from Shengjing. Shengjing is about 1,200 li (600 kilometers) from Anning Town, and at his current speed, it would only take him a little over two hours to sprint at full speed.

However, sprinting with a hunched back for an extended period is somewhat difficult. While his physique allows him to recover from fatigue effectively, sprinting ultimately consumes too much energy, and maintaining balance becomes challenging over time. If he were to run with a more relaxed posture, he could probably reach 200 kilometers per hour! That would take about three to four hours!

Two days should be enough for both of us!

Of course, going without any gear would probably be faster. But Zhang Lang tried it, and it wouldn't be much faster. His current physical strength and power are already at their limit; what's limiting his speed isn't the weight, but the method of running itself!

Just like how no matter how fast a high-speed train is, it can't outrun a maglev train, and no matter how fast a maglev train is, it can't outrun a jet engine... As long as you need both feet to provide power when you run, there is a limit to your speed. He is already close to the limit of running!

If I had to point out the cumbersome aspect of the load, it would be that starting and braking are more difficult, and turning is less agile... Once it gets going, the speed isn't actually affected much.

The thought of going to the capital filled Zhang Lang with a mix of emotions...

Xiaoya had mentioned more than once that she wanted to visit Shengjing, but the siblings calculated that the train tickets for that more than 1,000 li (approximately 500 kilometers) were not cheap. Moreover, the cost of food, clothing, and other necessities in Shengjing was much higher than in Qingyang County. So, although Zhang Lang kept promising to go once he had saved enough money, they never actually went...

The two of them had even calculated that taking the steam train would take more than ten hours one way, and if they bought sleeper tickets, they could spend the night there, stay for two or three days, and then spend another night on the way back...

Thinking about it now, steam engines were really slow...

Zhang Lang couldn't help but look down at the second floor of his house, at the room where "Xiao Ya" was kept.

"Brother, I've asked around. A job at the newspaper pays twenty silver dollars a month! I can cover the household expenses, and you can save all your salary for our trip to the capital!"

These were the words Xiaoya said to herself in the restaurant the night she found a job... At that time, the two siblings were full of hope for the future, but who would have thought... that very night, that restaurant would become Zhang Lang's eternal nightmare.

"Xiaoya, after I've been to Shengjing this time and figured out the situation, I'll definitely bring you along next time. We'll settle down in Shengjing from now on!" Zhang Lang promised "Xiaoya" from afar, while his hands tightened their preparations.

Finally, before the end of the month, he set off from Anning Town with the map he had obtained from Qingyang County, wearing his wolfskin coat, carrying a wolfskin knapsack, wearing a newly made waist bag as a bullet pouch, carrying his Tiger Roar sword, and holding a bolt-action rifle!

…………

Just as Zhang Lang embarked on his journey, in a distant, unknown world, Grace, who had fought alongside Zhang Lang not long ago, was battling a group of reincarnators.

At this moment, Grace was no longer the shabby girl she had been when she fought alongside Zhang Lang!

She wore a well-fitting protective suit, covered by a sturdy and powerful powered exoskeleton. She wielded an exaggeratedly large laser rifle, and had two crossed curved swords tucked into her waistband. The blades gleamed with a pale blue light, clearly not ordinary metal blades, but rather swords that used powerful magic to slash enemies.

Grace was running at breakneck speed through a tropical jungle in the dead of night, firing back as she ran, her expression grave, sweat beading on her forehead. Behind her, many figures followed closely, firing laser beams or solid bullets intermittently. Each shot was powerful enough to snap a tree in half, a testament to its immense strength!

Looking up, what hangs in the dark night sky is not the moon, but a huge pale blue planet surrounded by a huge ring of stars, dazzling and beautiful.

But beneath this dreamlike night sky, a brutal chase and escape is unfolding!

As Grace was fleeing, the trees in front of her suddenly began to tilt and sink, and the ground turned into a mud pit!

It's a mud trap, and it covers a fairly large area!

But Grace didn't stop or take a detour, because she knew that would waste time. Instead, she sped up and rushed out, leaping high into the air using the tendons pulled by special alloy springs under her feet, directly crossing the nearly 100-meter-long mud pit!

Just as she was about to land, a giant carnivorous flower suddenly burst forth from the ground, its gaping maw covered in barbs waiting for her to fall in!

Grace frowned, and the two jets on the back of her exoskeleton suddenly activated, spewing out waves of heat! However, one of the jets seemed to be damaged, and this emergency jet could only stop her falling momentum, but that was enough! The carnivorous plant's gaping maw snapped shut, only to find it had missed its target!

The emergency jet propulsion allowed Grace to escape the man-eating plant's maw, but it also reduced her speed in mid-air, creating a brief period of hovering and stillness, turning her from a moving target into a stationary one!

Just then, a grenade was fired, exploding behind her with a loud bang, blasting the heroine away. She rolled dozens of meters on the ground before crashing into the roots of a giant tree and coming to a stop!

The impact was quite severe. Grace's machine gun slipped from her grasp, and her powered exoskeleton sustained significant damage. However, her protective suit provided comprehensive shielding, preventing any injury to her body. Grace hurriedly scrambled to her feet, intending to continue her escape, but a large net suddenly descended from the sky, trapping her within it. The more she struggled, the tighter the net became!

At this moment, several tall figures rushed up and surrounded her!

Some of these enemies wore power armor like Grace, while others wore distinctly medieval-style armor. Some were dressed in cloth and wielded swords, while others carried massive energy weapons... They were dressed in a variety of styles, as if they had traveled from different eras and worlds...

But they also have something in common: they are almost all tall, with even the shortest being over two meters tall. Their exposed skin varies in color, but is covered with hard scales. They have a half-dragon head with two horns on their heads, but their snouts are not as protruding, and their fangs are not as sharp. They have a mane around their heads, as well as eyebrows and whiskers. Their appearance is somewhere between reptiles and humans...

Lizardmen? Or half-dragons?

In any case, they are an intelligent race different from humans!

The leader of them, with golden vertical pupils, wearing power armor and powered gauntlets, walked up to Grace and looked down at her.

"As a weak female of the Shen clan, I must commend your perseverance! But unfortunately, you are ultimately no match for our powerful Chen clan!"

"Where are my teammates?" Grace gritted her teeth and glared at the leader of the Chen tribe.

"Them?" The Chen clan leader chuckled. "They were valuable warriors, so I gave them the ending a warrior deserved!"

"Damn it!!" Upon hearing the news of her teammate's death, Grace flew into a rage. Suddenly, she moved her hands, and two beams of blue light shot out! She secretly drew her twin swords from her waist, sliced ​​through the net, and slashed straight at the neck of the Chen Clan leader!

brush!

Two blue blades of light flew into the sky, cutting down all the trees in their path, leaving clean cuts, and large pieces of wood and leaves fluttered down!

However, the blades of those two swords were blocked by the power gauntlets raised by the leader of the Chen clan!

At the same time, the other members of the Chen Clan rushed forward and dismantled Grace's powered exoskeleton into pieces. Her shield was also destroyed. Two members of the Chen Clan each controlled one of her arms, forcing the strong woman to kneel on the ground, unable to resist any longer!

"You are ultimately too weak..."

The leader of the Chen clan shook his head:

"The Shen clan is one of the lower five clans among the twelve earthly branches. Compared to our Chen clan, your foundation is far too weak! You shouldn't have participated in this war!"

"Heh heh heh..." Grace, pinned to the ground, let out a cold laugh: "Who says we humans don't have strong individuals! You bunch of guys are just stronger than we are. When that person becomes a hero, he will definitely help humanity achieve final victory!"

"You bluffing monkey!" a member of the Chen tribe roared, raising his machete to kill Grace. But the Chen tribe chief stopped him:

"Interesting. Is this the kind of being that gives the weak Shen tribe the confidence to win a war? Lei Chilin!"

"Here!" A particularly thin member of the Chen Clan stepped out. Compared to the Chen Clan, this guy was not tall at all, let alone compared to humans!

"Unearth this female's memories!" the Chen clan leader said in a deep voice. "I want to see what kind of savior she speaks of really looks like."
