Apocalypse: Last Traveler

Lu Xi'an didn't know the principle and method of how this launch tower once launched the strain, but even at that time, the Neo-Human didn't go in, now even Gou didn't gain anything, so he estimated he'd find nothing even if he went in.

Moreover, it's relatively dangerous inside, and indeed not worth going in.

He told Yao Wei: "I'm going in to take a look."

Yao Wei nodded: "Alright, I'll guard here."

As for the two people who were tied up, neither of them was in a hurry to deal with them.

Looking at the current situation in Mengxin City's downtown, it was as they had anticipated, proving the place wasn't too dangerous.

The Neo-Humans who once occupied this city for a period have already been killed by them, leaving behind only some ordinary people.

And those ordinary people should indeed have been frightened by their show of force, hiding and not showing themselves.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei were thinking that if the danger wasn't too great, they could still fish Chai Xin later. This required the two people tied up to lead the way.

These two people might be staying here either forcibly or voluntarily.

However, judging by the way the person who kept speaking showed off his sycophantic skills, Lu Xi'an was more inclined to believe these two abandoned their original organization to seek refuge with a stronger force.

Regardless of the case, they must have followed the wishes of that Neo-Human.

That Neo-Human was here alone before, Lu Xi'an didn't believe he would feel confident letting others roam freely while not paying any attention to their movements.

If that were the case, how could that Neo-Human stalk that previous man and woman, even using them as bait, ambushing Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei?

Therefore, these two are likely key in the Neo-Human's control of the ordinary people's organization in Mengxin City's downtown.

The task of finding Chai Xin later might fall onto these two.

Gou was left to Yao Wei, while Lu Xi'an had Gou control the drone further into the building, leading the way to find something.

This building was likely an office space here before, with a control room and offices inside, many computers, and various instruments Lu Xi'an had never seen, yet without exception, all were damaged.

Everything was ruined, Lu Xi'an even found the remnants of a laptop among them, angrily wanting to curse.

Such recklessness! Truly reckless! How could so many good things be smashed like this?

The people who survived here before really had no quality, as if they followed America's free-for-all!

Lu Xi'an inspected everything one by one, yet didn't find a single item intact.

Even the tables and chairs once here were basically all broken.

This scene left Lu Xi'an unable to imagine how the Resonant Gene Scanner was preserved.

The drone finally led Lu Xi'an to the control room.

The building has five floors, the control room is on the topmost floor.

It's called a control room because in the middle of the sizeable hall, there's something like a console island,

with a metal operation panel embedded in the island, buttons and the like already destroyed thoroughly, the integrated screen also smashed to pieces.

The operation panel below had been opened, originally where equipment should be placed, now empty, only some tangled wire ends remaining, clearly it's all been wrecked.

In front of the island is a wall covered entirely in modular screens.

Many of these screens up high are basically intact, while lower ones vary between intact and broken. Though even the intact ones now probably aren't of any use.

Given the state of the operation panel, how could these screens still function?

Fortunately, the drone wasn't leading him to this control room, but rather to a deeper room.

In a corner lined with screens is a door, metal with what seemed like an electronic lock, but it's non-functional now.

The room behind the door had already been invaded, but not through the metal door.

The screens bordering the edge had been pried off and smashed to bits.

The wall behind had been smashed open at one spot, though Lu Xi'an found nothing resembling a tool.

Lu Xi'an thought this room in the old world might've been only somewhat confidential, otherwise it couldn't have been so easily broken into.

If highly confidential, how could the wall behind the screens be in such a state? How could it not be reinforced with steel plates?

Was the Resonant Gene Scanner stored here? Could this imply the equipment wasn't too important at the old world's end?

The drone flew into the room through the broken hole, Lu Xi'an followed inside.

Everything inside was intact, yet the furnishings were simple: a single bed against the wall, a table by the bed, a chair by the table, and a metal cabinet at the foot of the bed.

Like a duty room.

The bed sheet had creases as if someone had lain there before.

The metal cabinet was open, with a black, square object lying inside.

The square object had four corners with folded strips alongside its edges, seemingly capable of being erected like antennas.

This object overall resembled a router and felt like it could be the Resonant Gene Scanner.

Lu Xi'an approached, seeing a metal nameplate stuck on the lower left, clearly stating: Resonant Gene Scanner.

Below were a few dense lines of text, mentioning production date, serial number, etc., now meaningless.

Lu Xi'an took this item out of the metal cabinet, feeling its weight, quite heavy, not something a typical person could move.

It would take at least two robust people to lift it; no wonder the Neo-Human didn't take it away before.

For Type A Neo-Humans like himself, it's easy to carry; that person was Type C, lacking the ability to handle this metal lump, unable to manage it well, and had to leave it.

He tucked the iron lump, deadweight to others, under his arm, hooked his wrist, and stepped out through the hole.

Having inspected the room, finding nothing else useful, he carried the Resonant Gene Scanner, holding the drone, heading out of the building.

——The drone had completed its mission, allowing for temporary power conservation, no need for it to fly.

Outside the building, the two people tied up tight could no longer stand, finding places to lean and sit on the ground.

They couldn't sit directly, as the ropes were tied too well, preventing them from spreading out, requiring support lest they fall directly upon sitting.

Both saw Lu Xi'an emerging, familiar with the object under his arm.

The talking person widened his eyes at Lu Xi'an's easy stride and indifference towards the iron lump, exclaiming:

"Wow! No wonder you could kill that person, boss, your strength is amazing!"
