My cells devour all worlds.

Luo's Car Dealership.

Lu Jie glanced furtively at the pickup truck being fiddled with by several people not far away. He approached Luo Bowen and asked, feigning ignorance:

"Hey, Lao Luo, is our team's car all serviced?"

Luo Bowen stopped what he was doing and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Didn't you just leave? Why are you back again? A full maintenance service can't be done so quickly. The inspection isn't even finished yet. Come back to pick up the car at this time tomorrow."

A hint of urgency flashed across Lu Jie's face. "I need a car urgently. Fine, just rent me one temporarily. Same as always, put it on our Rampage Squad's tab."

Luo Bowen naturally couldn't refuse business that came knocking on his door.

He has always been good-natured with wealthy clients.

Luo Bowen pointed to the cars parked on the side, "Choose one yourself, the keys are in the car, and the gas tank is full."

"OK."

Lu Jie quickly selected a jeep with a heavy front splitter welded to its front.

"This is the one. Put two extra cans of gas in the truck and put them on your tab."

"Make sure we take good care of that car. Replace any parts that are about to break. It's a lifesaver. If you do a good job, I'll give you a raise..."

After saying that, Lu Jie added, "Put it all on the tab."

Then he drove away.

Luo Bowen was tightening a screw when he suddenly muttered strangely, "That's odd, why is that rooster-headed guy being so generous today..."

If Lu Jie could hear this, he would definitely say it's because he's Lu Sheng.

Don't be polite, it's all he should do.

Lu Sheng drove the car all the way to the entrance of the alley he had just left and honked the horn.

"Beep beep beep".

Before long, Yu Qingyi and Yu Qingxuan came out carrying spears, looking at Lu Sheng warily, as if to confirm, and did not dare to speak immediately.

Lu Sheng rolled up his sleeves, showing off the rubber band on his wrist, and grinned. "Hey, two beauties, long time no see. How about getting in and riding in my big jeep?"

Yu Qingyi and Yu Qingxuan, who were about to get on the bus after seeing the rubber band, took two steps back silently after hearing this and seeing Lu Sheng's subtle expression.

They couldn't help but suspect that Lu Sheng's rubber band had been stolen by the real Lu Jie.

"..."

Seeing the suspicious looks in their eyes, Lu Sheng's smile gradually froze, and he instantly switched back to his original voice:

"Get in the car."

As soon as the words were spoken, Yu Qingyi and Yu Qingxuan visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the back door and got in.

Yu Qingyi still looked a little scared. "Phew, Brother Lu, you scared me to death just now. I thought you really were that person."

Yu Qingxuan looked even more suspicious, "It doesn't seem like acting at all."

"..."

Lu Sheng's lips twitched slightly. "I'll take it as a compliment. Oh, and close the curtains on both sides so no one else can see us."

When acting, you have to be fully committed, otherwise you'll easily be discovered, right?

It's definitely not his nature; at most, it might just be a side effect of his abilities.

Yes, that should be it.

Lu Shengshen agreed.

After the two of them drew the carriage curtains to block any possible prying eyes from the outside, Lu Sheng stepped on the gas, and the vehicle began to drive towards the inner city exit.

It has to be said that driving is faster than walking.

Before long, the inner city gate came into view.

Before Lu Sheng could speak, the guard at the gate saw the conspicuous rooster-like head in the driver's seat and pressed the remote control in his hand.

The door slowly opened.

The soldier even smiled at Lu Sheng in a friendly manner, "Brother Chicken, going out again so soon?"

Lu Sheng grunted in agreement and sped off in his vehicle.

It's best to say as little as possible to people you don't know.

The vehicle entered the outer city area, speeding forward amidst envious or fearful gazes.

Lu Sheng only realized after entering the inner city that the so-called outer city, strictly speaking, was not a place where Hope gathered.

It was just a group of desperate people who spontaneously gathered together, and the area was formed over many years.

However, it can now be considered part of the hope community, and it has more or less become connected with the people of the inner city.

About ten minutes later, no more people could be seen outside the car window, and fewer and fewer people were encountered on the road.

Only occasionally could one see a few ordinary people lighting fires and fanning the air at the cave entrance, blowing the thick smoke into the cave.

Before long, several gray rabbits were drawn out by the smoke and covered with nets by the group.

Judging from the looks of it, they were catching steel-toothed rabbits. Lu Sheng remembered the rabbit meat he had eaten before.

As the number of people dwindled, Lu Sheng stopped trying to hide his true appearance and, with a thought, transformed back into his original form.

back row.

Despite having met him once before, Yu Qingyi and her companion couldn't help but marvel at how Lu Sheng had transformed into a completely different person in just a few seconds.

They couldn't see any flaws at all.

"Brother Lu, how did you do that?" Yu Qingyi asked, very curious.

She had seen Lu Sheng imitate other people's voices before, so there was at least some possibility.

But Lu Sheng's appearance, physique, hair, and even clothes have changed, which is quite amazing.

"A little muscle control technique plus a bit of sleight of hand."

Lu Sheng glanced at the two puzzled men in the rearview mirror. "Have you ever heard of martial arts?"

Lu Sheng wouldn't casually reveal his ability to imitate, so he simply attributed it to martial arts.

Anyway, he could also transform using martial arts techniques before, although there were some differences.

"Martial arts?"

Yu Qingyi thought for a moment, "Is it that kind of fighting technique? My sister and I once met someone who claimed to be a successor of Hunyuan Tai Chi, saying that as long as you practice martial arts with him, you can take on several people at once."

"But later I heard from others that that person seemed to be a fraudster, and he was beaten up by a group of people. Nobody knows where he went."

Hunyuan Tai Chi? Master Ma?

Lu Sheng was slightly taken aback. "Pretty much. But what I'm doing isn't just for show. If you practice it to a high level, you can change your face and body shape by controlling your muscles, just like me."

"If you want to learn, I can teach you when we get back. After learning for a while, you won't have any problem dealing with a few ordinary people."

Lu Sheng suddenly had a brilliant idea: perhaps he could teach Yu Qingyi and the other girl martial arts to improve their self-defense skills.

However, Lu Sheng was not sure if martial arts could be mastered in this world, so he did not speak too confidently.

"Really? That's great!"

Yu Qingyi seemed very happy.

As the group talked, the vehicle drew closer to its destination.

Looking out the window at the receding scenery, Lu Sheng suddenly understood why the outside world was called the wasteland.

I don't know what happened, but everywhere is a scene of ruins, and all sorts of plants grow wildly, taking over the view.

From the dilapidated buildings, Lu Sheng could still vaguely tell that this place must have been a bustling city long ago.

Now, the building is broken and collapsed, and the remaining parts are severely weathered, turning the landscape into almost a primeval forest, clearly indicating that it has been abandoned for a long time.

Every now and then, one could hear a few eerie cries coming from deep within.

Lu Sheng couldn't help but wonder, what exactly happened to this world? How could it have changed so much in just a few decades?

Humanity has gone from being the dominant force on Earth to now being reduced to eking out a living in cramped settlements.

Lu Sheng was unclear, neither from his vague memories nor from the pamphlets in the inner city, nor from what had happened or when it had occurred.

I only have a general idea, maybe twenty years ago, or thirty years ago, or even forty years ago, who knows?

In short, a war that swept the entire world occurred at that time, almost destroying human civilization.

Evil corpses, ferocious beasts, and monstrous creatures, as well as awakened beings, began to appear from that time onwards.

No one knows the specific reason, or perhaps no one cares. After all, for many people, just living each day is exhausting enough...
