#179 - Enter the spirit world, a world of horror
On Zhao Zheng's attribute panel.
In the "Talent" section, the Kryptonian bloodline has a new ability: "Heat Vision."
This is the talent ability successfully activated after Zhao Zheng's mental attribute broke through 1000 points!
Initially.
Zhao Zheng thought that the red light emitted from Superman's eyes should be similar to Cyclops' laser beams.
However, after reading the introduction of "Heat Vision," he realized that the two were completely different.
[Heat Vision: The eyes emit red high-temperature beams converted from solar energy stored in the body. The power and range are adjustable, and the maximum power is affected by the Heat Vision level.]
This is the introduction of "Heat Vision!"
Initially.
In order to test the power of his Heat Vision, Zhao Zheng made a special trip to the no-man's land, but the test results were a bit disappointing.
The power of Heat Vision cannot be said to be weak.
Zhao Zheng tried it, and he can easily cut off a bucket-thick tree and quickly melt a steel plate with his full power!
This shows that the Heat Vision he releases now, not to mention the cutting force, is at least above 1600 degrees in temperature.
Because the melting point of iron is 1535 degrees, and the melting point of steel is 1515 degrees!
If an ordinary extraordinary person obtains such an ability, it would definitely be a heaven-defying opportunity and the capital to rise.
But for Zhao Zheng now, the destructive power brought by Heat Vision is a bit lacking…
Now, the damage caused by Zhao Zheng's casual punch is much stronger than Heat Vision.
If you add the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, it will be even more terrifying, destroying the world!
Zhao Zheng looks down on the little damage caused by Heat Vision…
Moreover, the consumption of this thing is not low, and continuous release puts a lot of burden on the eyes.
No wonder.
Superman doesn't use this ability often.
To put it bluntly, Heat Vision is indeed a bit of a tasteless ability for Zhao Zheng now.
However.
This does not mean that this ability is useless.
The reason why Heat Vision is weak now is because the level is low.
As Zhao Zheng's mental attributes increase and the Heat Vision level is raised, the destructiveness will naturally increase greatly.
You must know that Superman's Heat Vision, in its strongest form, has a terrifying temperature comparable to that of a star, and can burn and melt all matter in the world!
Therefore, the Heat Vision ability has great potential.
In addition, even the current Heat Vision is not useless to Zhao Zheng.
It must be very effective in clearing small monsters.
For example, in the tenth level of the Spirit Realm, there are a large number of zombies, and zombies have no consciousness. Haki might not be useful, but Heat Vision is different, it will definitely sweep away a large area.
In addition, in some special environments, Heat Vision may also have unexpected effects.
For example, when surviving in the wild and needing a source of fire, Heat Vision can easily ignite the surrounding things…
…
In short.
There are no useless abilities in the Kryptonian bloodline.
Zhao Zheng still values the Heat Vision ability very much.
Get up, wash up, and then go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
After breakfast.
Zhao Zheng returned to the dormitory.
He had told Lao Chu before that he would not go to the playground to gather this time when entering the Spirit Realm. Anyway, the tenth level of the Spirit Realm is a single-player Spirit Realm, and there is no need to team up with others.
As for the school's record of grades, Zhao Zheng plans to delay it…
It was past eleven in the morning.
When Song Haitang came to the playground alone, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing that Zhao Zheng didn't come, everyone couldn't help but guess, did these two have some kind of conflict?
"Last minute, everyone get ready!" A teacher reminded loudly.
Hearing this, everyone cheered up and prepared to teleport.
One minute later.
All the freshmen on the playground disappeared and were teleported into the Spirit Realm world…
…
Song Haitang felt a whirl of dizziness.
When she regained her sight, she had already arrived in an unfamiliar place.
The light here was a bit dim, and it was difficult to tell whether it was night or day.
Her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and everything around her came into view.
This seemed to be an abandoned city, and there were many tall buildings everywhere she looked.
However, these tall buildings were very dilapidated, and they were covered with various moss and other unknown plants.
The roads were also filled with a lot of dust and useless garbage, and grass grew in many places.
Countless abandoned vehicles were left here and have rusted…
If you have to use one word to describe this city.
That would be "Desolate!"
Song Haitang had just scanned around and did not see a single moving life!
It was as if she was the only living person in the entire city.
To be honest.
Song Haitang was a little surprised at the moment.
Although her teacher had told her that this was a doomsday-like world and had shown her many photos.
But how can looking at photos compare to seeing it with your own eyes?
Even though she had just arrived in this world, she already felt lonely!
Such an environment is definitely a world that no human being likes.
"Huff ~"
Song Haitang took a deep breath, then took out the half of the 'Birds Flying Wing to Wing' jade pendant from her pocket and held the jade tightly in her left hand.
She closed her eyes slightly, wanting to sense Zhao Zheng's location.
When she opened her eyes again, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed deeply.
Just now, in her perception, Zhao Zheng was very, very far away from her…
Song Haitang's expression remained unchanged. She locked the jade pendant in the button of her chest, then kept in mind some of the key points that Teacher Shen had told her, and began to explore the city.
Her goal was very clear.
First of all, of course, she had to find some food and water, because food could not be brought into the Spirit Realm.
Then find a safe place.
Finally, wait for Zhao Zheng to come!
Song Haitang shuttled through the streets, appearing very cautious.
She did not choose to climb high to observe the terrain.
Although the view from above was indeed better, it was also easier to be discovered by monsters.
In this Spirit Realm world, some monsters can even perceive the gazes of other creatures.
As long as you see it, it will also discover your location.
Although Song Haitang's current strength is very strong, she is the strongest among the freshmen, second only to Zhao Zheng, and has created a large gap with other freshmen.
It can even be said that her strength is not inferior to that of her father, President Song.
She is not far from "Elementalization"…
But Song Haitang did not have the slightest bit of arrogance.
As long as she thought of Zhao Zheng's strength, she felt that her own strength was nothing…
Before long.
Song Haitang finally encountered something that could move.
It was a group of zombies!
They wandered around the entrance of a convenience store, moving slowly and irregularly, appearing somewhat aimless.
There were a total of six zombies.
And they were all the most ordinary zombies, with no mutated species.
With Song Haitang's current strength, she could easily eliminate these zombies with a wave of her hand.
However, being new to this place, she didn't quite understand the surroundings. For the sake of prudence, she chose to retreat.
Although through the glass, she could vaguely see that there seemed to be things on the shelves in the convenience store...
However, she always felt that something was not quite right.
Having decided to retreat, Song Haitang left without any hesitation, turning around and walking away.
When she had walked a dozen steps, she suddenly stopped again, then raised her head, her gaze directed towards the second floor of a certain storefront.
There, a few pairs of panicked eyes appeared.
"Damn it! She found us."
"As expected, she's an ability user..."
"What do we do now?"
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!!"
"Wait... she doesn't look like those 'Nomads'. Maybe we can try to contact her."
...
Although these people were talking in low voices, what they didn't know was that Song Haitang's hearing had now reached a terrifying level.
Not to mention their whispered conversations, even the sound of a rat scurrying within a radius of several tens of meters couldn't escape Song Haitang's ears.
Seeing that these people seemed very afraid of her.
Song Haitang pondered for a moment.
Deciding to observe for a while first.
Because she needed information now and couldn't just wander around like a headless fly.
In case she wandered into the territory of some terrible monster, or even accidentally encountered a strange phenomenon, then she would be done for.
After a moment.
The door on the first floor was opened, and a middle-aged man walked out.
This middle-aged man had a stubbly beard, messy hair, and was wearing a thick cotton coat, but it was already tattered and covered in black stains...
At first glance, this guy looked a lot like those homeless people on Blue Star who didn't bathe or change clothes for years.
Song Haitang knew.
This was a common image of survivors in the current world.
After all, in a world where even food and drink were a concern, and life was not guaranteed, who would be in the mood to dress themselves up every day?
No matter how much one paid attention to their image, without clothes to change, after a year or two, they would be dirty and ragged like beggars.
Compared to the survivors, Song Haitang, who was clean and new, seemed out of place in this world.
The middle-aged man also noticed Song Haitang's appearance and was a little surprised.
Even in those large shelters, few people were as clean as Song Haitang.
As if she were one of those clean-loving people from the peaceful era.
In addition, Song Haitang was really too beautiful.
He couldn't understand how there could still be such a beautiful young woman wandering around in this environment?
Originally, the middle-aged man came down to negotiate.
But seeing Song Haitang's appearance, he didn't know how to start for a moment.
Finally.
Song Haitang spoke first: "Are you survivors from nearby?"
Hearing Song Haitang's question, the middle-aged man came back to his senses. He didn't answer immediately, but asked cautiously: "May I ask who you are..."
"Don't worry, I'm not one of those Nomads!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man was a little afraid of her, Song Haitang took the initiative to say.
Regarding "Nomads", Teacher Shen had also told her about them.
They were a group of very terrible beasts!
They were actually ability users, possessing extraordinary powers. Because they didn't like being constrained by the rules of the large shelters, they chose to work alone and wander around.
For the sake of survival, they could do anything.
Robbing other survivors of food, even torturing and killing survivors, were their daily routines...
When there was no food, they didn't mind using young survivors to satisfy their hunger.
Some "Nomads" in groups even attacked those smaller shelters.
Once breached, it was a living hell...
Therefore, not only the locals were afraid of the Nomads.
Even Teacher Shen repeatedly told her not to deal with the Nomads.
Kill them as soon as possible if you can, and find a way to escape if you can't beat them...
...
Song Haitang knew that with just a few words, her persuasiveness was not enough.
Survivors who could survive in this world were all vigilant enough.
Those who were not vigilant enough were already dead!
At this moment.
Song Haitang sensed that at least three guns were aimed at her in the dark.
She didn't dodge.
It was because although she couldn't yet achieve complete elementalization, she was no longer afraid of guns and ammunition.
"I have no malice, and I didn't know you were here. I came here just by chance."
Song Haitang spoke again: "I think we can cooperate."
Hearing this.
The middle-aged man was stunned: "How to cooperate?"
Song Haitang didn't say it directly, but asked: "You're hiding here, probably for the things in that convenience store, right?"
The middle-aged man frowned, looked at Song Haitang, and waited for the rest of her words.
"I can help you get the food in the convenience store, but I need half of the food!"
Hearing this.
The middle-aged man immediately fell into deep thought.
He thought for a moment, and then said: "I need to discuss this with my companions."
Song Haitang said: "Okay, but don't take too long."
The middle-aged man nodded and quickly turned to leave.
Soon.
He returned to the second floor.
"Third Uncle, what did that woman say?"
"I just saw clearly, she's so beautiful, even more beautiful than the big stars of the past!"
"Keep your voice down!" The middle-aged man said: "She said she's not a Nomad and wants to cooperate with us to take down the convenience store..."
Afterwards.
Several people began to discuss.
"Cooperate with us? Take down the convenience store, doesn't she know that the convenience store is a trap?"
"Could it be that she's a powerful ability user? Confident in dealing with that monster?"
"Hmph! If she had confidence, would she need to cooperate with us?"
"Third Uncle, I think we can cooperate once, let her take the lead, it would be great if she could die together with that monster..."
"Don't treat people like fools! Do you think someone who can live so cleanly is a fool?"
"The main thing is that we have no choice, we've searched everywhere nearby, and now the only place with food left is that convenience store."
"Yes, Third Uncle, Yin Yin and the others haven't eaten anything for four days, if they don't eat something..."
"I also agree to cooperate, I think there's enough food in that convenience store, maybe it's enough for us to last until we go to Shelter 33."
"Are you all fools? Cooperate just because she says so, who knows what she's planning?"
...
These people were talking all at once, all expressing their opinions.
What they didn't know was that even though they tried their best to keep their voices down, Song Haitang downstairs could still hear them clearly.
Only at this moment did Song Haitang understand why she always felt that something was not quite right about that convenience store...
