It seemed to be something useless.

But who really knows? Maybe it could be of some use.

At worst, it could be used as a hidden weapon with no problem.

Lu Xi'an glanced again at the object in the man's hand, its shape indeed quite suitable for being thrown.

He reached out to take the object, weighing it in his hand. He could confirm it shouldn't be a refrigerator magnet since there was no magnet, its design was unique, and the material was very sturdy, quite unusual.

Both sides of the round piece had something engraved, one side with text, the other with an image.

The side with text read "Fish Mouth Commemorative Medal," and the other side showed many buildings, high and low, nestled by the mountain and sea, with an unknown location.

It indeed seemed to be a medal.

It should be a very special medal.

"What is this thing, where did you get it from?"

Lu Xi'an asked the man.

The man stuttered as he replied, "I... I... I don't know what this thing is either. Anyway, my dad gave it to me, my dad said his... his... his dad gave it to him.

"My dad and his... his... his dad both died, so I... I... I don't know where they got this thing from."

Apparently frightened by Lu Xi'an, he spoke stammeringly, his voice trembling.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Lu Xi'an stopped asking.

Hearing the man's words, it seemed like some kind of family heirloom, passed down through generations, but indeed had no practical use.

He put away the "medal," and after making sure that everyone in the high-voltage power plant was here, he told Yao Wei to keep watch.

Then he searched through each room in the high-voltage power plant. Most of the places here were filled with old world equipment, such as the high-voltage switching room, transformer room, control and protection room, low-voltage distribution room, DC power room, and metering room.

The place where these seven people lived was thus reduced in scope, and they could only live in the former employee dormitory, office, or meeting room.

The furniture like tables, chairs, and beds in the rooms were all damaged to varying degrees, but there were signs of repair, making them barely usable.

Each room where people lived was filled with a nauseating stench, intolerable to people.

Every time Lu Xi'an entered these rooms, he had to hold his breath.

Some of these people were timid and honest, while others were bold and cunning. When Lu Xi'an searched, some had taken everything out from their rooms, while others still hid things.

However, those things were just some leftover food, treasures for the people here, but of no value to Lu Xi'an, so he didn't take them.

There were also some defensive and offensive weapons, such as sticks and steel pipes, which Lu Xi'an didn't take since he had plenty of those in his car.

He only found a screwdriver and a wire stripper, thinking they might be useful in the future, and took them.

Of course, he also found the room of the previously dead person.

— The reason for confirming it was the room of the deceased was because Lu Xi'an found large-caliber bullets there, which seemed to be 12.7 mm.

What surprised Lu Xi'an was that there were quite a few bullets, neatly stacked in a small wooden box, as many as thirty-two rounds.

Besides the thirty-two bullets, Lu Xi'an also found half a can of gun oil in the room.

No wonder the gun was still well-preserved and functional.

It's known that the remaining usable guns in today's world are mostly specially treated; those not modified have already deteriorated under the world's decay and the passage of time.

But even those specially treated ones become difficult to use without maintenance like gun oil over time.

This was indeed a great find. With these two items, the rooms in the high-voltage power plant were not explored in vain.

Taking the bullets and gun oil, Lu Xi'an didn't stop.

He also went through those high-voltage switch rooms and transformer rooms; the equipment had long ceased to function, and correspondingly, the transformers outside ceased operation as well.

Lu Xi'an didn't need this equipment, so he didn't care whether they were good or bad, only looking for useful items in the corners.

Unfortunately, although these places weren't habitable, they had been scavenged and showed signs of damage.

The rodent barriers were long fallen elsewhere, the cabinet doors had been pried off, and the explosion-proof glass in the isolated computer room had a big hole, who knows what kind of person or force broke it.

Fortunately, judging by the signs of damage, it could be confirmed that substantial time had passed since the destruction, and the Resonant Gene Scanner didn't detect any red dots.

Otherwise, Lu Xi'an might have suspected that something Neo-Human still lurked here and would have quickly fled.

For now, Lu Xi'an found nothing useful until he reached the last unknown equipment room and discovered a pair of gloves covered in dust between two pieces of equipment.

He picked up the gloves, brushed them off, and saw their original appearance.

The gloves were very large, enough to fit his hands, maroon in color, appearing to be made of rubber, and for this reason, the fingertips and palms showed signs of cracking.

They seemed to be insulation gloves, but given the time that had passed, they likely lost their original function. But fortunately, in today's world with little electricity, the gloves' insulating function was no longer needed.

But... perhaps it can still be useful elsewhere?

For instance, when doing chores, tidying up the RV, cleaning the bathroom, you might wear these gloves.

Also, when Yao Wei is having her period, if she needs to touch water, wearing the gloves might make them waterproof?

Lu Xi'an wasn't sure if this thing had a waterproof function, so he put the gloves away for now, planning to try pouring water in them later when they got back to the vehicle to see if they leaked.

If they don't leak, then it's fine, another added function.

—Although Lu Xi'an felt this function wasn't really practical, during Yao Wei's period, he wouldn't ask her to do anything that required touching cold water.

After searching everything here, Lu Xi'an returned to the third floor.

Those people were still standing carefully, hearing the noise from behind, they immediately stepped to the sides against the wall, making way for Lu Xi'an.

They all looked towards the direction Lu Xi'an came from, seeing that he only had gun oil and bullets in his hand, and a screwdriver, wire stripper, and insulated gloves in his pocket, they all relaxed, relieved to see no other items.

These things were not crucial for them now, the gun was already confirmed destroyed, so what good were bullets and gun oil?

As for the three items in Lu Xi'an's pocket, they wouldn't generally use them either; they felt it was fine for these two harbingers of disaster to just take them and leave quickly.

As long as the food they'd stored could be kept, that was better than anything!

Lu Xi'an couldn't be bothered with these people, heading to the window, saying to Yao Wei, "Alright, let's go."

Yao Wei nodded, glanced at the hallway, and jumped out the window. She held the sniper rifle in her hand, seeming quite accustomed to it, handling it with ease.

Lu Xi'an inexplicably felt she was a born sniper.

Lu Xi'an followed suit, also leaping out.

The remaining seven people in the hallway looked at each other, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

One brave soul cautiously stepped over the dead sniper, edged to the window, and peeked outside secretly.

Upon looking, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

Others in the hallway asked quietly, curious, they bravely stepped forward and also took a glance.

Then they saw the car that had previously dodged the sniper returning from afar on the road.

"They're not just two people! They have someone else, the driver!"

One person by the window exclaimed.

Another said, "We really got what we deserved this time, two Type A Neo-Humans and a Type C Neo-Human, no wonder the one-eyed guy was killed so quickly."

The two spoke, lowering their voices.

But the rest in the hallway, seeing that the two Type A Neo-Humans that had jumped out did not return, were all certain they wouldn't bother with them again.

So the rest of them crowded over to look out the window, seeing the car on the road getting closer, turning around, with Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei opening the car doors and getting in.

"How can you be sure the driver inside is a Type C Neo-Human?"

Someone asked.

The person who previously guessed a Type C Neo-Human said, "Isn't it obvious? These two people are fierce! Generally, Type A Neo-Humans aren't this fierce, are they?

"I think these two must have been influenced by the Type C Neo-Human!"

Someone said wistfully, "I heard Type C Neo-Humans are great, they must be having a good time!"

But at this moment, another person voiced a different opinion, "Nonsense, it's definitely not a Type C Neo-Human. Didn't you notice? The car moved on its own, and there was no one in the driver's seat!

"What does that mean? That person must be a D-type, able to become invisible!"

The one who previously guessed a Type C Neo-Human stuck to their guess, saying, "That just means there are more than three people, there are four Neo-Humans in total."

Everyone was shocked, startled, terrified, yet immensely relieved, feeling as though they had survived under the hands of four Neo-Humans, as if they had walked back from the gates of hell.

"Really terrifying! There were actually four Neo-Humans!"

Someone murmured.

Others all nodded, feeling the terror.

At this moment outside the window, the car on the road was gradually driving away, Lu Xi'an having already handed the bullets over to Yao Wei, and all other items were set down.

Lu Xi'an said to Yao Wei, "Once we pass Qin Mountain County, shall we find a place for you to practice with the sniper rifle?

"If there's no problem, we can ambush in advance, take out the Type C Neo-Human first."

Yao Wei nodded and said, "Hmm, but let's not waste it, practice when we find animals we can eat."
