"Buzz..."

The drone slowly advanced, getting closer and closer to the man and woman who appeared in its view. These were the first humans from the Other World that Li Yang had seen.

"They don't seem any different from people on Earth, at least on the surface."

Li Yang watched the humans from the Other World show surprise as the drone approached. While wondering how they ended up in this zombie-infested city, he assessed their appearance.

Although the two of them were dirty, it was still roughly discernible that their skin tone was yellowish, like Asians. Other than that, whether it was individual variation or the overall standard, their figures looked very tall and straight, a natural impression given by their bone structure.

As he thought, Li Yang activated the drone's communication function, controlling it to hover five meters away from the two.

As a custom-made drone, this machine had very clear communication capabilities. Once the communication function was activated, the sound picked up by the drone and the sound picked up by the remote control could be transmitted as clearly as a phone call.

Although the humans in this world looked like Asians and the characters they wrote were the simplified Chinese characters he was familiar with, the same characters might not have the same pronunciation he was used to.

But no matter what, humans in the Apocalyptic World must be filled with a desire to find a way out. As long as he could make a sound, if the other party couldn't understand, wouldn't it be even better to pretend to be a savior?

Although he would have to try learning a foreign language next, with such strong motivation, as long as he...

"What era is this? Someone's still using this old relic?"

"Don't make a fuss. I heard the Ruler of Base City Number One still uses iron pots to cook food with low contamination. Powerful Evolvers even use the most primitive swords and knives to attack. What's so strange? Put away your rude remarks. Any adventurer outside is worthy of our respect."

A surprised voice and a cautious voice transmitted through the drone's microphone to the remote control. Li Yang, holding the drone's controller, silently watched the man and woman from the Other World looking at the drone with different expressions, and quietly dismissed the idea of pretending to be a god or ghost.

"Hello, is there anything we can help with?"

In front of the drone's camera, the tall man with a large frame showed a humble smile that didn't match his physique. Beside him, the woman who looked about 1.7 meters tall, after being reminded by the man, shrank her head and timidly hid behind him.

Under the transmission of high-precision camera equipment, their every move appeared clearly before Li Yang, who was holding the remote control next to the back door of the gold shop.

'They're actually speaking Mandarin Chinese.'

'Is Chinese really the universal language of the multiverse?'

Li Yang looked at the man and woman clearly displayed in the video, the two humans from the Other World, focusing on the humble expression on the man's face and the woman behind him who was clearly timid.

This was a pair of survivors living at the bottom of the surviving human society in this world.

Li Yang quickly made a preliminary judgment. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't adopt such a posture when encountering something.

'But that doesn't prevent it from being a ruse by cunning survivors.'

A hint of vigilance arose in Li Yang's heart. He looked at the man and woman on the screen, his mind racing.

In this situation.

What kind of question would be appropriate?

Or rather, what should he say...

"Why are you here?"

Li Yang thought of the zombies roaming everywhere in the city and decided to start from there.

For ordinary people, the city full of zombies was undoubtedly a threat. Their relaxed appearance on the rooftop of a building, unless...

As he thought, Li Yang also recalled the information contained in the conversation that came through the controller when the communication was just opened.

Base City Number One, Ruler, food with low contamination...

Powerful Evolvers using primitive attack methods like swords and knives...

'Evolvers, could it be that this Apocalyptic World has a group of humans with unique powers?'

'There's a base city, which proves that the remaining survivors have re-established organizations. Ruler, is there a stable political regime?'

'Food with low contamination, is this world contaminated? Is there no clean food?'

Li Yang's mind wildly speculated about possible situations, and the sound transmitted from the drone also achieved the first communication with these two humans from the Other World he had just met.

"Under the various measures of the base city, the contamination index of this city has been reduced to a very low level. Now is a good time to come and collect various equipment resources. Everyone is very willing to come here to collect supplies and earn some income at this time. Didn't you come to this city for this purpose?"

As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, the woman glanced at the man, and a look of spirit suddenly appeared on the man's face. He smiled and spoke to the drone: "Friend, if you don't mind, how about we meet and talk? Let's see what we've each gained in this city. Perhaps before taking them back to the base to exchange for resource points, we can barter and complete a transaction first. I think this might be more cost-effective than going back and exchanging for resource points."

"Oh? What do you have to trade?"

Li Yang looked at the man's expression in the video, listened to his voice, and frowned. Then he thought for a moment, immediately turned around and packed up the equipment around him, and quickly moved the set of armor back into the room of the suburban residence in Heyang. After returning, the man's voice immediately transmitted through the remote control.

"We just arrived here and haven't gained much good stuff, but there's one thing you might be interested in collecting."

The man's eyes moved, and then he signaled to the woman beside him. She understood and took out a sealed box filled with ice from the large backpack she was carrying. Inside the sealed box were two dark blue potions.

Li Yang frowned, maneuvered the drone's camera, magnified the potions in the woman's hand, took two high-definition photos in quick succession, then withdrew the camera and looked at the two people with smiles on their faces.

"That's right, these are exactly the Body Correction Potion and Nerve Reaction Potion Number Three produced fifteen years ago, before the Calamity Virus outbreak, with complete and abundant resources. You should know, the potions from fifteen years ago are not comparable to the present where resources are scarce. The effects of these two potions are at least five times stronger than the basic potions now, and the potency is gentler. Even if you don't use them, they can be a good collection to remember the past."

The man's smile was brilliant. He pointed to the two test-tube-like potions and specifically introduced: "This version of the Body Correction Potion can correct and heal 99% of the defects and minor issues in a person's body. Almost all flaws will virtually disappear after use."

"And Nerve Reaction Potion Number Three can increase a person's reaction speed by 30%!"
