Lu Sheng couldn't see where the city gate was, so he found a massive gash torn from the top of the wall all the way to the base and cautiously approached it.
Less than ten meters away from him, several terrifyingly powerful zombies were wandering.
Just getting a little closer to them made Lu Sheng's scalp tingle with an overwhelming sense of dread.
He felt like a low-level character fresh out of a beginner village, wandering into a high-level monster map.
Any one of the monsters around him could easily kill him in an instant.
"The closer it is to the base, the stronger the zombies are. It's hard to imagine what level of Martial Arts expert these zombies used to be..."
Lu Sheng sighed inwardly.
No consciousness, no awareness—only the residual combat instincts left in their bodies drove them.
Even in such a state, they still exuded an intense sense of danger. These zombies had undoubtedly been unimaginably powerful in life.
Lu Sheng carefully maintained his distance from every zombie.
After repeated experimentation, he discovered that the safe distance between him and the zombies was about ten meters.
As long as he stayed beyond ten meters from them, they wouldn't detect him or become hostile.
Step by step, he approached the breach he had set his sights on, carefully dodging the wandering zombies.
When he couldn't avoid them, he would pick up a stone from the ground and toss it far away to draw their attention.
In this way, he managed to reach the base of the wall at the breach without incident.
Though the gash was wide, it was still seven or eight meters high.
Fortunately, Lu Sheng now possessed the strength of a Level 1 Warrior. Agile and nimble, he easily climbed up the breach using the indentations and cracks in the wall.
"This wall must be at least twenty meters thick, and it still ended up like this..."
Lu Sheng muttered in awe as he stepped through the breach.
As he walked inside, the interior of the city finally came into view.
Towering buildings and streets stretched out before him, in a style entirely different from the real world he was from.
Scattered across the streets were many strange vehicles that Lu Sheng didn't recognize.
Although most of them were now broken and badly damaged, under the gray mist that blanketed the ruins, Lu Sheng could still imagine how prosperous this city once was.
"The level of technological development must far exceed both the world I'm in now and even my previous life..."
Lu Sheng thought as he jumped down from the city wall, landing on a sleek, streamlined vehicle that looked like a futuristic skiff.
"This must've been a highly advanced civilization—both in technology and martial arts.
No wonder the Body Tempering Art and Breath Control Technique I got from those memories are so powerful..."
After all, in Lu Sheng's current world, Martial Arts had only developed for less than 300 years.
Many aspects were still in the exploratory phase.
History had mentioned that when Martial Arts first emerged, the strongest warriors in the world were barely at Level 5.
But now, humanity already had numerous Level 7 Grandmasters, Level 8 Archmasters, and even Level 9 Martial Saints.
"Even such a powerful civilization still fell to the claws of the Abyssal Beasts. What about us..."
Lu Sheng suddenly felt a tinge of unease.
In reality, his own world was also fending off an invasion from the Abyssal Beasts.
Even though Martial Arts experts kept emerging, humanity's living space was constantly being compressed and reduced.
This was something reported on the news every day.
"No matter what, my being here is an incredible stroke of fortune...
Even if this world failed, mine may not.
I can draw nourishment from this civilization, and when I'm strong enough, perhaps I can spread its advanced Martial Arts knowledge back home..."
Lu Sheng's eyes grew resolute once again. A heavy sense of responsibility also settled on his shoulders.
The devastation of this once-thriving civilization struck him deeply, and his mindset began to shift.
There were many zombies inside the city walls, but most were relatively weak, with only a few "high-level monsters."
This was easy to understand.
The city walls were meant to protect the vulnerable civilians, while the truly powerful had naturally gathered at the front lines of the battlefield.
Lu Sheng's pace quickened.
He entered a tall building—a typical residential apartment.
Picking a unit at random, he stepped inside. There was no one.
The apartment was divided into several small rooms, but the overall space was quite limited.
In the middle of the living room stood a table with scattered bowls and utensils on it.
Lu Sheng imagined that this family was probably in the middle of a meal when the apocalypse suddenly descended.
His chest tightened with an inexplicable sense of sorrow.
There were no zombies in the home. Lu Sheng guessed that under the terrifying black mist, ordinary people perhaps didn't even qualify to become zombies.
Or maybe they had become zombies once, only to rot away over the long years due to being too weak.
Lu Sheng stepped into a room and found a photo frame-like object on the nightstand. But there was no photo inside.
He guessed it might have been something like a digital photo album, and once the energy source depleted, the images naturally disappeared.
The remaining room must have belonged to a child.
In the corner stood a small single bed, a helf, and a desk.
Lu Sheng searched for anything that might contain recorded information.
But this civilization was too advanced— had long shed their reliance on paper—so he found nothing.
At last, on the desk, Lu Sheng discovered a palm-sized, lead-gray disk, no more than half a centimeter thick, with traces of writing on it.
"Tian... Heng... Tech..."
Lu Sheng wiped the dust off and read the faint inscription on the bottom of the disk.
The moment he said the words aloud, he was stunned.
He could actually read them?!
The language used in this fallen civilization was exactly the same as that used in his own world!
