Lu Chengchuan returned to the street, and the people on the street were not much better off than him.
Cars were blown away by the shock wave, large trucks were blown all over the place, the streets were completely blocked, the surviving citizens were gathered together, and soldiers were protecting them.
At a glance, there were only a few hundred people in sight.
The monsters had surrounded them, and the soldiers and several psychics rose up to resist. Gunfire, roars, cries, and other sounds rang out. Some people endured the pressure and took up weapons to fight alongside the soldiers, while others couldn't accept it and sat on the ground crying.
Zhou Yaning and Lin Jing were nowhere to be seen, and no one knew if anything had happened to them.
Seeing that the monster was about to rush into the crowd to kill, Lu Chengchuan took a step forward and instantly appeared in the crowd.
No one knew he was coming. The monsters were about to rush in, and the crowd had to disperse. Lu Chengchuan locked onto a monster and killed it in an instant.
The monster opened its big mouth full of fangs, but the next moment, a fist landed on its head.
The huge and ugly head exploded, and the monster's body fell to the ground. More monsters rushed in, and the crowd could only flee in all directions, not daring to confront the monsters head-on.
There are only dozens of soldiers among hundreds of people. They cannot protect so many citizens, but they will not abandon them.
Lu Chengchuan rushed forward, trying to block as many monsters as possible, but the road was wide, and some monsters did not come over, but passed by him and chased others.
Lu Chengchuan killed a monster with one punch, but the screams behind him continued.
The soldiers took the citizens into the supermarket he came out of, and with the help of the cover, they were finally able to catch their breath.
A few minutes later, all the monsters in his sight fell to the ground. The gunfire behind him had not stopped and the fighting was still going on. Lu Chengchuan could only turn around and go back to help.
Fortunately, there were not many monsters behind them, and Lu Chengchuan quickly helped them get rid of them.
"Is your commander here?" After feeling a little safer, Lu Chengchuan asked the soldiers if there was anyone he could talk to.
"I don't know. We can't contact the commander or headquarters..."
Several soldiers shook their heads. They didn't know either. The shock wave and black fog rolled over. After they woke up, they kept trying to contact their superiors, but they couldn't get through.
"Be careful."
The situation was complicated, so Lu Chengchuan told them to be careful while he went to look for someone. He turned and left the supermarket, but instead of returning to the road, he walked into the alley next to the supermarket.
After killing those monsters, he gained two more years of life.
He now has 51 years and 148 days to live, which is enough for him to improve his Giant Elephant Skill.
The current situation is very dangerous. The blood mist vortex in the sky has stopped spinning, but it looks even more bizarre. He needs to improve his strength to be more confident in escaping Anyang City.
Turning his attention back to the system, Lu Chengchuan saw the three words "upgradeable" behind the Giant Elephant Skill and immediately chose to upgrade.
In an instant, his fifty-year lifespan was reduced to just over a year. In an instant, heat came over him, like a blazing flame rising in his dantian, followed by pain.
A force was tearing his body apart, then reassembling it again and again. Lu Chengchuan gritted his teeth and endured the pain to practice the Giant Elephant Skill.
He moved through pose after pose, letting the heat melt his body.
The tearing feeling repeated twelve times, each time a torture to his body and mind. In the end, his consciousness became blurred and he could only practice based on instinct.
It was unknown how long had passed, but when Lu Chengchuan regained consciousness, the pain in his body disappeared. He just looked at his body when suddenly, a picture appeared in his mind.
A white light flashed, and then various colors appeared, until the light and colors faded away, and an island occupied Lu Chengchuan's mind. Then the scene changed, and in a dark space, a huge heart was beating slowly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A low heartbeat echoed in the darkness, and Lu Chengchuan felt suffocated. This inexplicable heartbeat brought him tremendous pressure. The suffocating feeling around his heart became heavier and heavier. Just when he was about to give up, the white light appeared again. Lu Chengchuan opened his eyes and found himself still standing in the alley.
"What is that..."
That island, that heart, how could such things appear in his mind.
A beast roar entered Lu Chengchuan's ears, waking him up instantly. He couldn't figure out why these images appeared in his mind. He was in a bad situation now and had no time to think about these things for the time being.
Lu Chengchuan came back to his senses, the pain in his body disappeared, replaced by a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.
An extremely fulfilling power flowed through his body, and he could feel it just by raising his hand slightly.

......
His realm broke through to the innate level, and the disease that had been plaguing him was finally cured. After the breakthrough, he still had more than a hundred years left to live, a full hundred years.
Seeing the lifespan of more than a hundred years, Lu Chengchuan looked at the system panel and the Jingtao Gong.
It seems that he can also improve his martial arts level...
Thinking of this, Lu Chengchuan did not hesitate. He now needed to improve his strength as much as possible. He was in a dangerous place, and only sufficient strength could ensure that he could get out of Anyang City.
In an instant, thirty-five years of life disappeared, and Jingtao Gong became the fourth level. The fifth level requires forty-five years of life, and he can continue to improve.
Forty-five years of life disappeared, Jingtao Gong was upgraded to the fifth level of perfection, and a strong passion emerged again.
However, with the previous training of Giant Elephant Skill, the heat this time did not make him feel uncomfortable. This time the heat mainly circulated in his Dantian, tempering his internal energy.
The internal energy in the lower dantian became more abundant and of stronger quality. After about ten minutes, the internal energy stopped growing.
Lu Chengchuan raised his chest and exhaled forward.
It took more than three minutes to exhale. After that, Lu Chengchuan felt that his body became lighter.
The Jingtao Gong was also improved to perfection, which consumed seventy-five years of his lifespan, but the perfection of his internal energy gave him another sixty years of lifespan, which was equivalent to only fifteen years.
His realm had broken through and his illness had been cured. Lu Chengchuan looked outside the alley and thought, now it was time for him to go find someone.
On the road, the rain and fog had not yet dissipated, and the sky was still strange. Lu Chengchuan always felt uneasy, especially after his realm breakthrough.
The increase in strength did not bring him a sense of security. Instead, he inexplicably felt threatened, a deadly threat.
With a hint of uneasiness, Lu Chengchuan returned to his previous position and found the black car in which the governor was sitting.
The car was overturned, the doors and glass were broken, and the people inside were gone. Lu Chengchuan looked around but didn't see anyone. There was no one at all.
If it weren't for the gunshots coming from a distance, he would have thought Anyang City was already a deserted city.
