The main mission now had a lead. Although it wasn't certain whether the truth of the apocalypse could be found at East Continent Island, at least there was a clear objective.
Roy was not in a hurry to leave. The Zombies here couldn't be wasted. Before departing, he would perform a thorough, comprehensive cleansing. He estimated he could complete one or two more upgrade missions.
"Might as well test out the newly developed techniques."
With that, Roy floated in the air, and a vortex of telekinetic wind appeared in his hand. Following his control, the telekinetic vortex left his hand and dropped into the ruined city.
Whoosh—
Ferocious air currents roared wildly. Under the pulling force of the telekinetic vortex, a giant tornado connecting the sky and the ground quickly formed. Countless Zombies were sucked into the vortex and subsequently crushed by the telekinesis.
[ Zombie Kill Count: 12876 ]
[ Zombie Kill Count: 13051 ]
[ Zombie Kill Count: 14924 ]
...
For a moment, the Zombie Kill Count updated frantically. After the Zombies were crushed by the telekinetic tornado, black blood and flesh were splattered everywhere, transforming the entire ruin into shades of black and red.
It resembled a living hell.
Roy's figure slowly ascended until he could fully observe the scope of the entire abandoned city. He then consecutively created telekinetic tornadoes in each area, cleaning out the Zombies at an extremely fast pace.
In just a moment, Roy's Zombie Kill Count broke through the 100,000 mark, completing another upgrade mission, and the intensity of the telekinesis within his body rapidly surged.
[ Zombie Kill Count: 104632 ]
[ Upgrade Mission 5 · Complete ]
[ Telekinesis Option · Upgraded! ]
[ Telekinesis · LV6! ]
Oong—
Boom!
The utterly violent telekinesis surged out, causing the sky above the entire city to resonate. The air and light were distorted beyond recognition, creating an extremely magnificent sight.
Inside the survivor base, the survivors looked at the massive black tornadoes swirling across the city and the distorted sky above. They nearly stopped breathing, frightened out of their wits.
"Is this the end of the world?"
John, who had just fled the research building, looked at the terrified survivors and inwardly sighed that his luck was truly good. He then took the opportunity to ambush the survivor guarding the wooden plank bridge. After lowering the plank bridge, he desperately ran out of the base. Before escaping, he even snatched the survivor's crossbow and dagger.
Since there were no Zombies or tornadoes near the survivor base, John successfully saved his life. He looked at the exaggerated scene around him, knowing without a doubt that it was the work of that "big shot."
"Seriously, New Humans can be this strong?"
Taking this powerhouse as his role model, John was instantly filled with confidence for his future.
The LV6 telekinesis didn't bring about many new changes, but its intensity received a huge boost. Without exaggeration, Roy felt he could now lift the entire city below him, and possibly even briefly alter the weather within the area.
He had a clear grasp of the situation within a radius of several dozen kilometers. Currently, he still couldn't withstand a nuclear bomb, but any missile or attack would be detected by him the instant it entered his sensory range, making it impossible to hit him.
"This way, cleaning up the Zombies is much more efficient."
Oong—
Like a surging sea reversing its tide and pouring onto the land, the unleashed telekinesis instantly blanketed every corner of the abandoned city. With a single thought from Roy, the Zombies across the entire abandoned city exploded into a rain of blood.
Boom!
The entire abandoned city suddenly shook, and afterward, not a single Zombie could be seen. At the same time, Roy's Zombie Kill Count suddenly surged, and streams of light shot into the sky, flying toward Roy from various corners of the abandoned city.
[ Zombie Kill Count: 560794 ]
[ Equipment Obtained: Exquisite Antique Blade ]
[ Item Obtained: Tattered Backpack ]
[ Item Obtained: Primal Virus ]
[ Ability Obtained: Danger Sense ]
...
Instantly eliminating hundreds of thousands of Zombies—even if the drop rate was low, this was enough for a huge burst of loot. Roy suddenly struck it rich.
Looking closely at these dropped equipment and items, Roy realized a truth: monsters could only drop items that fit the background and type of the current world. They could only drop equipment, items, or perhaps abilities that they themselves possessed. The logic was perfectly sound.
Viruses dropped a bunch, but overall, there were no space rings or spatial backpacks. This world likely did not possess that kind of technology or item.
"What a pity!"
Although the majority were useless junk, at least the quantity was sufficient. Since Roy couldn't carry everything, he could only choose the necessary items to take with him. Regardless, once he returned to the Space, he absolutely had to buy a spatial item. This time it was junk, but if next time it was a pile of treasures, it would be heartbreaking.
A moment later.
Roy chose to wear the Exquisite Antique Blade at his waist, a sharp dagger on the other side, and a brand-new hiking backpack on his back filled with high-energy food.
Five glowing spheres floated in front of Roy. These were all abilities dropped by the Zombies or Zombie beasts. The five abilities were: Danger Sense, Ferocious Bone Spikes, Sharp Fangs, Ruminant Stomach Pouch, and Extreme Burst.
The three abilities that clearly seemed unsuitable for a human were decisively discarded by Roy. He stretched out his hands and shattered the two glowing spheres for Danger Sense and Extreme Burst.
Immediately, the two spheres exploded, turning into light that merged into Roy's body. The interface updated with a segment of information, and Roy instantly acquired these two abilities.
[ Ability Mastered: Danger Sense · LV1 ]
[ Danger Sense · LV1: When danger appears, you will perceive it early. ]
—
[ Ability Mastered: Extreme Burst · LV1 ]
[ Extreme Burst · LV1: Ignoring pain and injuries, you can exert full power for the next ten seconds. The cost is exacerbated injuries after 10 seconds, and you will fall into a state of powerless exhaustion for 10 minutes. ]
—
These were passable abilities. However, with the amplification of telekinesis, Roy didn't think he would need them much. All in all, being prepared was good. Roy was quite cautious, and preparing a few more abilities was also a good idea.
After making his selection, Roy disposed of the discarded items, and his equipment and abilities disappeared into thin air as if they had never existed. Roy decisively plunged headfirst into the clouds.
Boom!
A loud sonic boom echoed in the sky. Visible moisture was compressed into a layer of shockwave, which was instantly breached by Roy as he vanished into the clouds at a speed much greater than the speed of sound.
Every cell of Roy's body was filled with powerful telekinesis. This was enough to allow his body to withstand loads and overloads unimaginable to an ordinary person. With his current telekinetic strength and quality, he could effortlessly enter a state of Mach 3 or higher, and his limit was still unknown.
The sky distortion phenomenon above the city vanished. The survivors looked up, only to see a distinct trajectory trailing from the clouds towards the distant horizon.
