It only needed to be carefully polished to become a sharp weapon. The tip would need to be sharpened till it was tougher.

He stood up and looked around. Apart from the noisy crowd, there were no other abnormal sounds. It was quiet. Everything had fallen into a world of silence.

This world was completely unfamiliar. The first thing to do was to find a safe stronghold.

“Who is that?!!”

Suddenly, a female voice exclaimed.

Lu Ren looked in the direction of the voice, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

30 meters away from the crowd, an exceptionally muscular man was standing on a pile of rubble. A white cloth was wrapped around his body to cover his modesty, and there was a dark gray dirty cloth wrapped around his eyes.

He looked a little like a blind monk.

He just looked in this direction.

However, the shoulders of this strange person automatically contracted and twitched as he breathed. His arms, which were hanging down, were strong and muscular.

He was about 1.75 meters tall. His body was covered in dark brown patches, which seemed to be dried blood. His body was covered with horrifying scars.

“Zha.”

A weird sound came out of the strange person’s mouth. It was the sound of his tongue clicking. Then, they saw the strange person suddenly bend down and dive toward them. With every step he took, there would be a loud thud. He was extremely fast, like an arrow shot out.

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

Seeing the strange person charging at them clearly with great malice, a series of terrified screams erupted from the crowd. Immediately, they fled in all directions.

In five seconds, the strange person had rushed in front of a man in a suit, and raised his right hand without any delay.

The right palm was broad, and the fingers seemed stubby. They were covered in calluses. This was obviously a sign of extremely arduous cultivation.

Such fingers had an extremely powerful grip and strength.

Lu Ren had no doubt that the other party had the strength to crush bricks and bend steel pipes.

The strange person’s hand was in the shape of an eagle’s claw, and his chest was bulging. A powerful breath built up in his lungs.

Lu Ren could imagine the strong heart in this strange person squeezing the blood like a pump. The hormones in his internal organs had suddenly risen to an extremely terrifying level.

Whoosh!

With the dull sound of rushing wind, the strange person’s claw stabbed at the neck of the man in the suit, who was so frightened that he could not move.

One thrust, and a pull.

The windpipe of the man in the suit was pulled out directly, and blood spurted out. He died on the spot.

Such a bloody and terrifying scene frightened everyone, and they all fled in various directions, crying for their parents.

Lu Ren’s heart trembled, but he did not panic too much. He took a long look and watched as the monster kept pouncing on the crowd. His moves were neat and swift, and he could kill a person with his bare hands in just a few moves.

Lu Ren held the iron piece in his hand tightly and turned around to flee without hesitation.

He was not strong enough. If he did not wish to die on the spot, then retreating for the time being was the best way.

At this moment, he did not know the situation at all. He could only choose a random direction to leave quickly. Although this situation was cruel, as long as he could outrun the others, he would be able to survive with ease.

Modern people, especially those in the city, were mostly office workers. They had been pampered and did not exercise much. How could they compare with Lu Ren?

Lu Ren maintained his breathing evenly as he moved around the ruins. His speed was not slow. With the help of basic combat and basic swordsmanship skills, his body had excellent balance and stamina.

It was not until half an hour later that Lu Ren stopped in his tracks and entered a building that had only one half left.

Currently, the sky was gradually turning dark. If he did not find a place of refuge and expose himself on the streets, it would likely be very dangerous. He had already experienced entering a mystic realm once, so he was not in a panic.

However, such frequent encounters made him wonder if something drastic had happened in reality.

Lu Ren carefully entered the hall with the iron piece in his hand. The thick dust under his feet seemed to indicate that there had not been signs of activity in this place for a long time.

The sofa, table, front desk, floor tiles, and the cracked stone pillars in the central hall looked as if they had suffered an extremely powerful impact when the building broke apart.

What kind of place was this mystic realm in the mystic ruins?

He walked to the front desk and saw a book placed on the counter. He reached out and picked it up to take a look.

“Congratulations to Professor Chen Guohua for successfully discovering new particles through a 100-kilometer-long particle accelerator!”

It was in Chinese characters, and dated 2046.

[Sensing connection to the mystic realm, the Super Dimension Perception activated…]

The few words prompted by the System contained a lot of information.

In other words, something unknown to him was happening in the real world, causing this situation to happen.

However, from another perspective, he seemed to have also become a victim. This method of connecting to a mystic realm and dragging people in seemed to follow some established conditions. However, the System activated, without any hesitation, the so-called Super Dimension Perception and obtained the conditions for him to enter.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren could not help but have the urge to show his elegant and easygoing side.

Damn, this was like a magnet. Wherever there was iron, as long as he was nearby, he would be sucked in!

Lu Ren did not dare to stay in the hall for too long. He went up the stairs quickly and followed the steps of the safety passageway up the stairs.

Lu Ren only stopped when he reached the middle level on the third floor.

This height could ensure he had a way to directly break a window, jump out, and land safely.

Moreover, he had to try his best to find a hiding place where he could escape from the front and the back. If he stayed in a room with one entrance and one exit, he would still have a chance to escape if he encountered something he could not defeat.

After finding a relatively intact room in the middle of the floor, he walked through the routes of the room one by one. After getting a general sense of familiarity, he used the office desk and cabinet to block the door.

When everything was done, the sky was already dark. The darkness in the sky kept spreading.

He casually moved a sofa over and found a few blankets to cover over the dust. He took out a piece of high-energy nutritional snack from his backpack and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he took a few sips of mineral water before lying down slowly to rest.

Ever since he had survived the previous mystic space, and at the same time because his appetite had also increased due to the constant training, he would always have two bottles of mineral water and some food in his backpack, especially every time he went to Yan Zhenghua’s convenience store to train. After intense workouts, he would need to replenish a lot of energy.

There was still a lot left in his backpack.

Hearing the faint screams for help outside the window, Lu Ren pursed his lips and was expressionless.

If he had the ability, he would have helped in passing. However, the strange person who had appeared first was much stronger than him, and he seemed to be quite proficient in combat techniques. When he stretched out his hand to grab the man in the suit, it could be seen that he had tempered his combat techniques thoroughly.

Facing him head-on was no different from throwing an egg at a rock.

Surviving for seven days was the most important. To go around and fool around was to court death.

Only by gradually understanding the situation and seizing every opportunity to increase his strength could he survive for a long time.

If these monsters were within his acceptable range, it was not impossible for him to use them as an appetizer.

He had to wait for the chance.

Suddenly, Lu Ren could faintly hear movement downstairs, followed by noisy footsteps.

Lu Ren closed his eyes and listened. He counted carefully. There were a total of six people.

Damn it!
