Lu Xiaoran now possessed a certain ability, one of the weakest being Immunity to Poison Gas. This ability could neither be used for offense nor for defense against anything other than poison gas. If he showcased this ability, the people in the shelter would only see him as a weakling and would not waste their time or energy targeting him.
Stepping out of the safe house, Lu Xiaoran turned back to glance at it. He decided to leave the safe house behind. He had no intention of taking it with him or wearing the Hazmat Suit. After all, both items were too conspicuous, and he wanted to remain as low-key as possible to avoid drawing attention from the shelter's inhabitants. The less they focused on him, the more opportunities he had to replicate others' abilities.
Moreover, with his current ability, Lu Xiaoran already possessed strong defensive capabilities and did not require the additional protection offered by the safe house or Hazmat Suit. If he needed them again in the future, he could simply replicate them.
Without any lingering attachment, Lu Xiaoran turned away and activated his Flying Ability, soaring into the sky hundreds of meters high. He flew southward over the city, having previously checked the location of the shelter directly south of his safe house. He estimated that it would take him less than ten minutes to reach it.
Soon enough, Lu Xiaoran spotted a majestic mountain rising on the southern horizon. That must be Fog Mountain, where the shelter for recruiting Ability users was located. The rest of the journey would have to be completed on foot.
After flying to a point just a few hundred meters from the base of Fog Mountain, Lu Xiaoran slowly descended and landed on solid ground. He didn’t want the people in the shelter to know he possessed Flying Ability, so he naturally couldn’t fly up to the mountain.
Lu Xiaoran prepared to start his ascent from here, walking along the base of the mountain. Upon reaching the foot of Fog Mountain, he looked up towards its peak. Atop the mountain stood a tall building; that should be Fog Mountain Sanctuary.
Continuing to climb up the slope, Lu Xiaoran found that unlike the previous barren mountain, this one had man-made steps built into its incline, making his ascent much easier.
As Lu Xiaoran made his way up, he hardly exerted any effort. Upon reaching the summit, the shelter was now within sight. A towering wall, over two meters high, completely surrounded the shelter. In front of the wall stood a large gate, flanked by two individuals who appeared to be guards.
In front of these guards stood a young man, perhaps in his early twenties, engaged in a loud conversation with them.
"My ability is Electric Shock," he declared confidently, "which allows me to generate electric currents in objects I touch."
To demonstrate his claim, the young man picked up a leaf from the ground.
Crackling sounds erupted as a flash of electricity coursed through the leaf, instantly leaving charred black marks on its surface. The two guards nodded at him and after jotting down something on a clipboard, gestured for him to enter.
Lu Xiaoran stepped forward and, like the young man before him, informed the guards about his own ability: Immunity to Poison Gas.
The guards scrutinized Lu Xiaoran for a moment, noticing that he indeed bore no signs of rash or any effects from poison gas.
