Tianfu Base City

A day and a night passed.

Zhou Tong found all three thousand paths in the plan.

However, he did not learn them all; he only learned the Great Slaughter Technique, the Great Soul Technique, the Great Devouring Technique, and the Great Blood Soul Technique first.

The knowledge of the Primordial Chaos was almost directly instilled into Zhou Tong's mind, and he even had his own understanding of it.

So, on the third day of devouring the world, Zhou Tong began his practical training.

Moreover, Zhou Tong was getting tired of eating only steamed buns and water for the past three days, and he wanted to eat meat.

Zhou Tong wanted to use the Gate of Truth for alchemy, but he lacked the relevant knowledge, so he could only hunt monsters.

Furthermore, Zhou Tong has already decided to embark on the path of the extraordinary. Whether he is a martial artist or a mentalist, he cannot avoid killing. The sooner he does it, the sooner he can adapt.

......

In a dilapidated street, Zhou Tong is fighting a monstrous wild boar with a long steel spear he got from a building.

"bump!"

A gunshot rang out, and the wild boar monster that Zhou Tong was happily shooting at was blown in the head.

A soldier carrying a sniper rifle jumped down from the abandoned building next to him and landed in front of Zhou Tong.

"Captain! A survivor has been found!"

The sudden appearance of a person startled Zhou Tong, who almost unleashed a mental attack.

Seeing that the person was dressed as a military soldier from an anime, Zhou Tong relaxed his guard a little.

"Kid, are you alright?"

"fine!"

He gave a curt reply, but a mental storm was brewing in Zhou Tong's mind.

He was excited when he saw the soldier, but Zhou Tong was also worried. Although he would be rescued and return to human society, his identity was a big problem.

The information technology in the science fiction world makes it almost impossible for Zhou Tong to disguise his identity, but he can only take it one step at a time.

Then the soldier began to explain.

"This place recently experienced a Level 3 monster horde. Our Sharp Edge Squad is a military force sent by the military to clear out the remaining monsters and handle the aftermath. You're safe now!"

After listening to the soldier's explanation, Zhou Tong simply nodded silently. He didn't know how to explain his identity. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he could only remain silent and wait for the right opportunity.

The soldier, however, took Zhou Tong's behavior for granted, finding nothing unusual. He reasoned that Zhou Tong was the only survivor; most of his family had perished in the beast tide. It was understandable that he was too grief-stricken to speak much.

After a while, a soldier carrying a long spear came running from a distance with a female soldier.

"Has your identity been verified?"

The warrior opened his visor, glanced at the disheveled Zhou Tong, and looked at him with some pity.

"Report to the captain! There is no information about him in the system, but a group of homeless people recently arrived in this area."

The captain, holding a long spear, frowned and scanned his surroundings.

"Then register this kid's information, do a physical examination, and if there are no problems, take him back to Tianfu Base City and arrange things accordingly."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong's eyes flickered slightly, and he was already cheering inwardly. He had been most worried about the issue of his identity, but unexpectedly, the other party had taken the initiative to solve it for him.

At this moment, the female soldier next to the captain of the long spear walked up to Zhou Tong and took out a device from her backpack to scan him.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

Zhou Tong looked embarrassed: "Zhou Tong."

How old are you?

"I'm 20 years old this year."

At this point, Zhou Tong's body data had been scanned.

Height: 183 cm; Weight: 123 catties; Physical fitness: Advanced martial arts student; No serious illnesses.

Upon seeing the scan data from the instrument, the female soldier raised an eyebrow, her expression becoming more serious.

"Tsk! Homeless people live hand to mouth, often not knowing where their next meal will come from, yet your physical fitness is much stronger than that of advanced martial arts students your age?"

Zhou Tong was startled upon hearing this. He didn't want to reveal his mental power, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer the female warrior's question, so he could only remain silent.

Fortunately, at that moment, the soldier with the sniper rifle suddenly spoke up.

"Sister Qiu, homeless people don't go into the city. They're just gambling for riches and fortunes by taking risks. This kid might have eaten some treasure. You should hurry up and finish this so we can go kill a few more monsters. That way, our team can go deep into the wilderness to search for treasures in the future."

"Sun Yi, I know you're about to break through to the Warrior level and are anxious to gather resources. When we get back to the city, I'll take the time to guide you properly, which will definitely increase your chances of breaking through to the Warrior level."

The female soldier glanced at the soldier with the sniper rifle and quickly finished checking and registering Zhou Tong's information.

"Since you're so enthusiastic, you can take this kid to the camp!"

"Fine, I'll bring it!" Sun Yi, holding the sniper rifle, pursed his lips, then looked at Zhou Tong: "Our camp is five kilometers from here. If you need anything, let's set off now!"

"Thank you, Brother Sun! I'm fine, I can leave now."

Zhou Tong had a good impression of Sun Yi. He had indirectly saved Sun Yi by finding him earlier, and now he was speaking up for him. He would repay Sun Yi when he had the chance.

Sun Yi nodded and started running along the abandoned street, with Zhou Tong following closely behind.

In reality, Zhou Tong could survive well in the wilderness with his current abilities, but in order to catch a ride to the universe later, Zhou Tong had to make arrangements early, the first step being to obtain a legal identity.

Now that something has come to him, Zhou Tong is naturally happy to see it happen.

The monsters they encountered on the road were all taken care of by Sun Yi with a single shot if they were alone, and his teammates would appear out of nowhere to help if there were many of them.

Many monsters posed a deadly threat to Zhou Tong, yet the Li Feng team slew them off with ease, instantly igniting a strong desire within him.

Zhou Tong longed to become stronger, to possess greater power. Having come all this way, he wanted to see the view from the top.

"arrive!"

Zhou Tong was distracted and didn't hear it, and almost bumped into Sun Yi.

Fortunately, Sun Yi caught Zhou Tong in time: "What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Tong snapped out of his daze and gave an awkward smile. His mind raced, and he realized it was a good opportunity to ask about Tianfu Base City.

"Brother Sun, I was just thinking about what I could do after we get to the city?"

Sun Yi waved and led Zhou Tong toward a transport vehicle, replying, "Of course you'll become a martial artist. You know the physical data we just measured. If you work hard now, you might be able to make it to the martial artist combat assessment in February before the Spring Festival."

Zhou Tong's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Brother Sun, how long until the martial arts assessment?"

Sun Yi raised his hand and glanced at the communication watch on his wrist: "Today is October 16th. There are less than half a month left until the monthly first-year martial artist qualification assessment. There are still more than three months until the martial artist combat assessment on February 1st. You can try your best. If you don't succeed, you can wait until August 1st next year."

"I'll do my best!" Zhou Tong replied with a smile.

Sun Yi smiled and continued, "The Tianfu Base City I'm taking you to is one of the six major base cities in China. We'll provide you with some basic living assistance there. If you want something better, you'll have to rely on your own efforts. If all else fails, you can join the army."

Zhou Tong nodded, but did not immediately express his opinion.

At this time, all the other members of the Lifeng Squad returned, but they did not bring back any other survivors.

Therefore, the Lifeng team did not linger and headed back to the city.
