“You could hear their breathing? Seriously?”
Although Lu Chen didn’t ask this question out loud, Feng Bin He Xiang could sense his doubt from his expression.
“I really heard it, you can believe it or not.”
Actually, she didn’t know why her hearing and vision seemed to have been enhanced.
Of course, some unspeakable shameful senses were also enhanced, but that was another story.
“Shh…”
Lu Chen nodded, his heart already on high alert.
Others might think this girl was joking, but he had personally given her the item, so he naturally believed in the effect.
Seeing that Lu Chen heeded her warning, He Xiang snorted with a hint of satisfaction, feeling a sense of being valued.
“Friends inside, we mean no harm.”
Knowing that someone was inside, Lu Chen didn’t hide it and spoke directly outside the clinic.
“My teammate has a minor injury, so we came here for some medical supplies.”
“If you have any bandages, gauze, or anything like that, I can trade with you with gear coins.”
Behind the half-open door, a faint commotion could be heard, as if they were interested in Lu Chen's offer.
Creak...
The rotten wooden door creaked open from the inside, making a harsh, grating sound.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses came out, warily observing Lu Chen… and the blonde girl behind him.
When he saw Feng Bin He Xiang, a flash of lust crossed the man’s eyes, but it was quickly masked.
“You want to trade medical supplies?”
The middle-aged man coughed lightly and pulled out a pack of opened alcohol wipes and half a roll of medical bandages.
“100 copper coins, these are all yours.”
“…Are you kidding me?”
Hearing this price, Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, mockingly.
“100 copper coins takes killing 60-70 zombies to accumulate, and you want to exchange this for that?”
“You can take it or leave it.”
Seeing that Lu Chen found the price too high, the middle-aged man became impatient.
He shifted his gaze and examined the youthful, beautiful blonde girl with a suggestive look, saying playfully,
“This is your teammate?”
“Let her keep me company for an hour, and I’ll give you a 50% discount.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the beautiful idol girl with amusement.
“What do you think, Feng Bin… this guy thinks you’re worth at most 50 copper coins.”
“Humph.”
Hearing this man wanting her to “keep him company,” Feng Bin He Xiang’s pretty face instantly showed a look of disdain, sneering.
“I don’t bother with things like this with no discernment.”
“Even if I die… I won’t let a greasy middle-aged uncle like him touch me.”
It had to be said that Feng Bin He Xiang was more aggressive in her verbal attacks than her older sister, Ma Yi.
The middle-aged man's face visibly turned sour.
Not only did he fail to make a deal, but he was also scolded by Feng Bin He Xiang's sharp tongue. He instantly lost the patience to continue pestering them.
“Take out that guy!”
The middle-aged man suddenly roared, as if reminding someone.
“That girl is mine, I'll teach her a lesson about her vicious little mouth!”
This roar was like a signal.
Suddenly, two figures emerged from the clinic, wielding spiked clubs and crowbars as weapons, flanking Lu Chen from both sides!
The small clinic actually hid three survivor players!
Seeing the enemies flanking them, Feng Bin He Xiang immediately felt a chill for Lu Chen.
Even if he had a gun, it was so close, and the enemies had the advantage in numbers…
If he were to be taken down, her fate would be unimaginable!
“Get…”
At this moment, Lu Chen glanced disdainfully at the three players in front of him, quietly saying,
“Kneel!”
These simple words, yet heavy as a thousand pounds, felt like a giant stone crushing down on the three players led by the middle-aged man!
The sudden surge of gravity directly made them unable to bear their own weight, sending them tumbling onto the ground in front of Lu Chen, taking a face-planting fall!
——Ability: Origin - Gravity!
Unlike when he first obtained the ability, a new item had appeared on it.
Precision: C-rank Item, your control over the ability is more precise, your perception of the ability is more intimate.
While this item didn’t increase the power, range, or other values of the ability.
It allowed Lu Chen to become more familiar with his ability – the ability to manipulate “gravity!”
After several previous tests, Lu Chen had a general understanding of how to use the ability.
What he was currently using was “Gravity Manipulation!”
Lu Chen could directly manipulate gravity within a certain range centered on himself.
It could be a reduction or an increase!
“5 times gravity and you can’t even stand up?”
Lu Chen squatted down in front of the middle-aged man who had fallen to the ground, observing him with amusement.
“You… this… guy…”
The middle-aged man was terrified, but even when he saw Lu Chen, he still managed to squeeze out a vicious curse through gritted teeth.
“It seems the intensity needs to be increased.”
Lu Chen calmly increased the mental energy expenditure of his ability.
He further increased the gravity that the three players were bearing!
Ordinary people have a limited tolerance for gravity, if they haven’t been trained, then
They would usually experience dizziness, nausea, and even faint at around 6 times gravity.
While highly trained pilots and astronauts
Could withstand a gravity load of up to 10 times
But it would also cause irreversible damage to their bodies.
10 times gravity was also the limit of gravity Lu Chen could currently apply.
“If my ‘mental’ attribute could be enhanced, this value should also be able to continue increasing.”
Looking at the three attackers who were now foaming at the mouth and convulsing, Lu Chen snapped his fingers.
The gravity he applied to them disappeared instantly, but what greeted them next were three merciless bullets.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three gunshots made Feng Bin He Xiang, who had witnessed the entire process, shiver involuntarily. Her eyes looked at Lu Chen with a mixture of complex emotions.
“He actually killed them…”
“And he killed three people at once!”
“This guy didn’t even blink, could it be that he’s actually a serial killer?!”
Noticing her somewhat strange gaze, Lu Chen turned to the blonde girl whose body was a little stiff, a faint smile on his face.
“What, scared?”
“They… they were already unable to resist.”
Looking at the three corpses lying in a pool of blood, Feng Bin He Xiang’s pretty face turned pale.
“Why did you kill them, we could have just left.”
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
Lu Chen walked towards her, looking her up and down, sighing in wonder.
“I didn’t expect you to be so naive, it’s a good thing.”
This showed that Feng Bin He Xiang had not yet come into contact with the dark side of this world, she was pure like a blank sheet of paper.
To this… Lu Chen didn’t mind staining this blank sheet with his own color.
“Put yourself in my shoes.”
Looking at those grey-blue eyes that were exactly like Sakurajima Mai’s, Lu Chen said,
“If I had been defeated by these guys, and you went to beg them for mercy…”
“Do you think they would let you go?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Bin He Xiang's breath hitched, as if she could see her own other ending.
“The answer is no, it’s very obvious.”
Lu Chen walked to the girl’s side, leaning down and whispering softly in her ear.
“You would become their plaything, no matter how much you struggle or beg, it wouldn’t be of any use.”
“At that time, you would know what it means to live a life worse than death, even death would be a luxury…”
“Of course, because I defeated them, you were able to avoid that outcome.”
“But next time, who will you seek protection from?”
“If you continue to hold onto this childish, naive mindset, sooner or later, what almost happened will happen to you…”
“En… enough!”
Feng Bin He Xiang suddenly closed her eyes, on the verge of breaking down.
She interrupted Lu Chen's demonic whispers with a cry filled with sobs.
“I admit I was wrong, you… just stop saying it…”
“Wuu… what should I do…”
The sound of a small river flowing, came from below.
Lu Chen’s gaze unconsciously swept downwards, and he was instantly struck by the sight.
“I actually missed… did I bully her too much?”
