"Is the technology really that advanced that it's possible to turn humans into this?" Lu Wuyai expressed deep skepticism.

But the fact is right before our eyes, flesh and blood have indeed turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Soon, these people woke up one after another, looking at Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong with a wary aura.

Just now, these two people, especially the older one, dealt them a double blow, both physically and mentally.

These new humans never imagined that flesh and blood could possess such immense power.

"You can leave, but I suggest you don't show your face in the vicinity again," Lu Wuyai said coldly. Not killing them this time was already a lenient policy. After all, they were all once human; meeting them in the world of meditation was a kind of fate.

Soon, under Lu Wuyai's watchful gaze, the group gathered up their belongings and disappeared in another direction.

"These people appeared nearby unexpectedly, and they are not the same group of humans we are looking for." Xiao Dong shook his head, secretly feeling very sorry.

"Keep searching."

Lu Wuyai walked ahead, searching for a possible source of fire in the darkness.

As the sky brightened slightly, they both looked out at a forest. There was a burnt smell in the fog.

"Let's go take a look."

They lifted their legs and walked forward. The acrid smell in the air grew stronger, and their expressions gradually became serious.

"Someone".

There are footprints on the ground.

This discovery made Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong stop and begin walking around the forest opposite.

After autumn arrives, the forest is shrouded in mist in the early morning, and the humidity in the air becomes much higher.

However, it is precisely because of this environment that tastes and sounds can often be transmitted further and more clearly.

A faint smell of blood filled the air.

Back on Earth, Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong had long been accustomed to this smell, which contained an animal scent.

Roar!

The moment a roar came from behind, the bone bullet in Lu Wuyai's hand flew out.

Squat down.

Lu Wuyai shouted, and Xiao Dong immediately flew towards him, a clear wave of air coming from behind him.

"With a bang."

Accompanied by a pitiful cry from some animal, Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong immediately ran away. At the same time, they looked back and saw a yellowish-brown tiger, but it was rather large, with its back covered in indescribable joints. Listen. It looked very strange, quite different from ordinary tigers.

But that bone bomb nearly killed the opponent.

Meanwhile, the explosion here also attracted the attention of other creatures in the forest.

Not long after, a group of humans rushed out. They looked embarrassed. When they saw Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong, they didn't stop, but ran wildly. Behind them were dozens of people, young and old, all looking very nervous.

Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong exchanged glances. It seemed that these people were the group of humans who lived by the lake.

But life doesn't seem to be going well.

Roar!

At that moment, a great many roars came from the forest, and even Lu Wuyai's expression changed.

“It sounds like there are at least twenty or thirty of them,” Xiaodong said.

The tigers here are different from those on Earth.

Soon, a group of huge, dark yellow corpses rushed out of the dense forest, exactly the same as the one that Lu Wuyai had injured before.

The colorful lines covering its entire body and the white knuckles on its spine give it a strange charm.

This is indeed a tiger, but it is different from an ordinary tiger.

Besides the appearance he had seen before, what also made Xiao Dong feel pressured was the aura of his opponent, which was a very strange feeling.

The crowd had gone, but Lu Wuyai and Xiaodong were now the humans facing the tiger.

“Kill it.”

After saying that, Lu Wuyai killed him without any hesitation.

It wasn't to save those humans, but rather that he and Xiao Dong had to adapt to the species here, and the fastest way to do that was to fight.

To thrive in the world of meditation, one must know the habits of other beings.

As for killing, it's a good way to get close to your opponent.

At this moment, those who were walking away stopped, turned around and glanced at the two young men who had entered the crowd, and couldn't help but gasp.

Kill him.

Lu Wuyai was the first to rush forward, because this was the first time he had encountered such a creature, and he was very worried that Xiaodong would get hurt.

As it turns out, with Xiao Dong's strength, taking down a tiger by himself is no problem, but he is still a bit lacking when facing a group of tigers that don't look like the ones on Earth.

Here, Lu Wuyai killed two tigers in the blink of an eye and was about to cut off their heads. Xiao Dong was already in imminent danger.

The charge went a little too far, and Xiao Dong was completely surrounded by tigers.

These tigers, with their backs covered in joints, move just like monkeys. When they arch their backs, their bodies are incredibly flexible, like springs.

Moreover, their claws and fangs are black, and you can smell a foul stench as soon as you get close, somewhat like the smell of corpses, which is obviously very dangerous.

Just then, Xiao Dong's body was scratched by the tiger's claws, and a large amount of viscous fluid was secreted from the wound, which was a sign of poisoning.

He rolled around on the ground, hurriedly pulled a needle from his wristband, and plunged it directly into his own flesh.

This is an antivenom serum developed using Lu Wuyai's blood. It can largely counteract 99% of the venom on Earth. Even if the ecology of the Meditation World is more complex, it can at least slow it down.

By this time, Lu Wuyai had already come to kill him. Behind him lay a corpse on the ground, its hand still clutching a tiger's heart. Even separated from its master, it was still beating.

Seeing Lu Wuyai approach, Xiao Dong was finally able to catch her breath; the stinging pain in her back was almost unbearable.

"Okay." Lu Wuyai patted Xiao Dong, telling him not to worry. The antivenom serum was very effective, and the wound stopped festering.

Afterwards, Lu Wuyai guarded Xiao Dong and retreated into the forest, looking at the abandoned camp not far away, where there were many corpses.

The two of them successfully attracted the attention of the Tiger Gang. As for the group of human survivors who had escaped earlier, they never reappeared.

Inside the camp, Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong hid in a narrow crevice, not because they were afraid of tigers, but because they felt it was unnecessary. After all, there was no one left in the camp now.

Watching the helpless tigers wandering in the forest, Lu Wuyai began to care about Xiao Dong's wounds.

"How are you feeling?" Lu Wuyai asked. Although Xiao Dong's wound had not continued to fester, the tiger's claws seemed to contain the energy of the corpse. That kind of thing could not be completely eliminated by antivenom.

Xiao Dong stretched his shoulders and didn't feel any discomfort.

"Let us rest first; we should also get a good rest."

"All right."

Soon, Xiao Dong realized something and asked, "Are these the people we're looking for?"

"Probably not." Lu Wuyai glanced at the camp again. There were absolutely no signs of resistance nearby, not even a few bullets, indicating that these humans were likely "refugees."

That evening, Lu Wuyai learned this news from the accounts of the humans on the raft. There are roughly three types of humans who have come to this world.

The first category consists of a new type of human who have mastered advanced technology. They can safely enter this world through radiation channels.

These people controlled large quantities of food and supplies, and were the first survivors to discover the meditative world.

The second type is ordinary people who follow the new humans into the new world.

The third type is refugees who happen to enter this world.

Whether they are ordinary people or refugees, they are the most marginalized people in the world.

Interestingly, this type of person is the most numerous.

"These new humans who have mastered high technology always seem a bit like the embodiment of evil," Lu Wuyai mocked.

Not long after, Xiao Dong's wound was bandaged up, and he did not feel any discomfort.

However, the tigers were still there in the forest, licking the wounds from the battle and occasionally glancing at Lu Wuyai and the others with the expressions of hunters toying with their prey, which made Lu Wuyai feel uneasy.

As night fell, a campfire was lit in the camp, and Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong each roasted a tiger, filling the air with a rich aroma of meat.

It must be said that although these tigers are a bit fierce, their meat is quite delicious.

Because of the effects of the marrow cleansing and bone-severing process, Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong's appetites far exceeded those of ordinary people. They each kept a tiger, which was perfectly fine for them.

Half an hour later, two more skeletons appeared on the campsite. They were roasting over a fire and looked very dark.

At this time, Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong returned to the dark ravine, preparing to get a good night's rest and continue the search along the lake early the next morning.

But before they fell asleep, faint footsteps echoed through the forest.

As time went by, the footsteps became clearer.

Lu Wuyai said to Xiao Dong, and the two of them climbed up the stone wall next to them.

At the same time, a group of well-dressed humans appeared at the campfire ahead.

Lu Wuyai glanced at him and categorized the other person in his mind as a so-called new human, an elite among humans.

The weapons these people were carrying resembled stun batons. Even from a distance, Lu Wuyai could hear a crackling sound coming from the tip of the baton—the sound of electricity being applied.

chug.

Suddenly, the stun gun-like object fired two bullets. The speed wasn't fast, but the power was astonishing, almost like a bone gun.

A large amount of current spread out from the point of impact, spreading out like a spider web.

Even though they were some distance apart, Lu Wuyai could still feel that power.

"This is an essential item for home and travel."

At this moment, Lu Wuyai realized that he could use this stun gun to deal with poisonous insects and wild beasts in the forest, and the effect would be very good.

But for Xiao Dong, his vaguely developed sixth sense was frantically warning him that the power of the electric baton was not to be underestimated, and only Lu Wuyai could ignore it.

Moreover, the people on the other side were clearly wearing mechs, as their walking posture was somewhat mechanical, and the shape outlined by their clothes undoubtedly proved this point once again.

"This is getting more and more interesting." Looking at these people, Lu Wuyai suddenly felt that the world of meditation was not as peaceful as he had imagined.

"Brother, be careful," Xiao Dong warned.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Lu Wuyai pressed down on Xiao Dong's shoulder, not leaving. He continued to quietly watch the group of people.

As a result, not long afterward, the ravine where they were located was indeed surrounded.

The other side, led by a man in black, threw a black object at Lu Wuyai and his group. While it was in mid-air, countless electrical currents exploded, instantly killing Xiao Dong.

As for Lu Wuyai, he reached out and pushed away the water that was wrapped around him, but he didn't feel much force.

However, when others saw this scene, they suddenly became nervous.

Lu Wuyai happened to hear the other person's heartbeat.

"Fear?" Lu Wuyai was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, he had not yet shown his strength, and the mecha covering his opponent was clearly not just for show.

Looking at the humans around him, Lu Wuyai was not alarmed, while Xiao Dong stood behind him with a serious expression in her eyes.

"Where did you come from?" the leader of the men in black asked clearly.

Lu Wuyai didn't explain, mainly because he couldn't explain it. So after thinking for a while, he asked, "Where did you come from?"

As a result, the atmosphere between the two parties suddenly became tense.

Lu Wuyai gestured for Xiao Dong to move closer to him. After a while, he heard the other's heart pounding like a drum, and he felt it might explode at any moment.

Xiaodong realized that something was off, and then he heard the other person ask, "Is it just the two of you?"

Hearing this, Lu Wuyai snorted. At that moment, he could sense that at least five people on the other side harbored murderous intent towards him.

Almost instantly, Lu Wuyai grabbed Xiao Dong and rolled towards the ground.

At the same time, icy blue lightning exploded in the forest.

"Who are these people?" Xiao Dong shouted, but before he could finish speaking, the people on the other side attacked them.

Fortunately, those attacks weren't very fast, so dodging them wasn't a problem.

Of course, besides this method of attack, the opponent's mechs didn't seem too happy either; Lu Wuyai could even hear some strange noises.

Crunch, crunch.

It was like an old machine that might stop working at any moment, which made Lu Wuyai and the others feel strange.

“We can’t catch up,” Lu Wuyai said.

Hearing this, Xiao Dong slowed his pace. He was a little afraid of those lightning bolts, but they were far away now, so there was no problem.

"These people seem to have nothing but weapons." Xiaodong also noticed this problem and was a little puzzled.

Admittedly, these people were strong, but it wasn't enough for him. Xiao Dong felt he could take on ten, or even more.

“There’s something wrong with these humanoid robots,” Lu Wuyai said, adding that the creaking sounds from the machines were becoming increasingly noticeable.

Xiao Dong and Lu Wuyai looked at each other and immediately understood what everyone was thinking.

In the blink of an eye, the two people left and returned, killing the group of humans.

It must be said that the opponent's weapon is more powerful than one's own strength, but it's like handing a pistol to a naughty little boy, leaving him with very little room to maneuver.

Therefore, in less than two minutes, Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong completed this "murder".

"What trash." Xiao Dong spat on the ground. He hadn't expected his opponent to be so incredibly strong, much stronger than an ordinary person.

On the ground, dozens of eyes stared in terror at Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong. Their owner still couldn't understand why the two people who had just fled had turned around to take care of them.

“Start asking,” Lu Wuyai said to Xiao Dong, who nodded. He was becoming more and more proficient at this.

Half an hour later, Xiao Dong emerged from the woods, his hands covered in blood, yet he showed no remorse whatsoever. Despite the torture he had endured, he had still killed someone.

“These people are not the new humans,” Xiaodong said.

Lu Wuyai nodded, lost in thought. There was a lot of information just now. This group of people in rusty mechs claimed to be old humans, not the new humans they thought they were.

As for the new humans, they have left the lake and continued their migration towards the edge of the water source.

These older humans rely on mechs to find a new life in this forest, such as robbing humans.

“Go and see what they call their residence,” Lu Wuyai said, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Soon, a group of humans wearing rusty mechs walked through the forest, looking somewhat frightened.

Half an hour later, a group of people walked through a jungle and came to a hidden cave.

Not long after, Xiao Dong came out from inside with a gloomy face, pulled out a knife, and killed the two men.

"The cave was almost entirely filled with women's corpses."

Insulting women is always the bottom line for Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong.

“Some are still alive, but they’re a bit disoriented.” Xiaodong took a breath, a cold glint in his eyes. Just now, he had killed three more humans who tried to resist and escape.

The remaining old humans were stunned and dared not move.

Unfortunately, Lu Wuyai did not give them a chance.

Whether he attacked them intentionally in the past or because of the crimes he has now been found to be, he is...

Soon, Xiao Dong and Lu Wuyai wielded their long swords and killed them all as easily as slicing vegetables.

A few minutes later, several ragged women stood at the cave entrance. Judging from their appearance, they were all beautiful women from Earth.

Unfortunately, after experiencing these hardships, it's hard to see the light in their eyes anymore.

"You have weapons and these things." Lu Wuyai handed over all the supplies he carried, hoping these people could survive. After all, this world wasn't as dangerous as Earth. With these mechs, they were more than capable of dealing with any wild beast.

The women looked at Lu Wuyai, but all indicated that they were willing to go with them.

Lu Wuyai shook his head and said, "We can help, but life needs you to start over."

He pointed in the direction he had come from and told the other person that if they encountered any difficulties, they could try their luck in that direction.

There is no such thing as charity in life; you have to find the sunny places yourself.

Lu Wuyai and Xiao Dong were somewhat worried about the new humans because they kept following the water source. They felt that everything had a reason and they should not be underestimated.

They bid farewell to the women and continued on their way. Meanwhile, the walkie-talkie eventually became ineffective due to the distance.

As they continued on their journey, they gradually increased their pace and occasionally found some footprints in the forest, but so far they had not discovered any new humans.

That day, Xiao Dong caught a child in the woods. The child was soaking wet and had a fever. He was as thin as a refugee.
