This sudden burst of energy was more invigorating than anything else.

Seeing them leave, Shen Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and muttered, "Don't be scared, don't be scared."

Shen Zhijie: Next time, drive during the day!

This night was a bit exciting and intoxicating.

Jiang Yao looked ahead with a serious expression. What were these monsters doing so late at night?

Could it be that they have really evolved their own consciousness and started thinking about problems?

The thought of evolving to be similar to humans sent a chill down Jiang Yao's spine.

Xiao Mu lowered his head in thought, his left hand unconsciously tapping lightly on the table.

He hasn't said anything since just now.

Shen Zhijie was now at a loss, unsure whether to drive the car or not. Seeing Xiao Mu still deep in thought, he carefully approached her and asked, "Xiao Mu, should we continue driving?"

"Should we stop here, or turn around and go back?"

Xiao Mu finally made a move. He walked over, turned off the car, switched off all the lights, and said slowly, "Since you won't let us move forward, then we'll stop here."

Shen Zhijie was probably really scared just now. When he heard Xiao Mu say that he was going to spend the night here, his voice trembled slightly: "No way!"

"What's the difference between this and living in a cemetery?"

Xiao Mu's eyes turned cold instantly. He looked up and met Shen Zhijie's eyes, saying, "Now we can neither move forward nor backward."

"This could be a warning."

"A warning? Just this warning?" Shen Zhijie said, somewhat incredulous.

When Jiang Yao heard the word "warning," she suddenly looked up and saw a pair of bright green eyes staring intently at them from a distance outside the car window. This didn't seem like a warning; it looked more like surveillance.

Jiang Yao walked to Xiao Mu's side, grabbed his clothes, and tugged at them quickly, "Look ahead!"

Xiao Mu turned around and looked back. After seeing the scene outside the window, he pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes coldly, and a murderous intent quickly rose in his eyes.

He stepped forward and pulled the blackout curtain closed, meeting Jiang Yao's eyes. "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"We'll stay here tonight and drive away tomorrow morning."

Jiang Yao lay in bed, her mind replaying the many things that had happened in this life since her rebirth—things she had never experienced before…

The RV's cooling system stopped working sometime this morning.

Jiang Yao was woken up by the stuffy, hot air inside the RV.

When I woke up, I felt a little short of breath, and my clothes were soaked.

Open the car windows to let in fresh, hot air.

He woke up Shen Zhijie and Xiao Mu and gestured for them to look outside, as the area outside was no longer the same road where they had stopped the previous night.

None of them remembered when they changed locations, and the scene outside felt like a dream.

Seeing that the scenery outside the car window was not the route he had driven on last night, Shen Zhijie looked at Xiao Mu with a dazed expression: "Impossible!"

"I clearly took the main road last night, how did I end up in these ruins!"

Xiao Mu got up and got out of the car. He walked around the RV and frowned as he looked at the red bloodstains on the vehicle.

Seeing Xiao Mu standing motionless in front of the car's rear, Shen Zhijie walked over to Xiao Mu and put his left hand on Xiao Mu's shoulder, saying, "What are you looking at!"

When Shen Zhijie saw the bloodstains on the back of the car, his face turned serious. When were they put there? How come he didn't notice at all?

Xiao Mu looked around at the quiet surroundings without saying a word, and simply turned to repair the solar panels on the RV.

Jiang Yao filled the RV with gas and then filled the water tank with water.

After Xiao Mu returned, the group discussed and prepared to explore the ruins.

Jiang Yao handed each of them an ammunition belt. Shen Zhijie took it and put it on his waist, jokingly saying, "Now I finally understand why Nobita can't live without Doraemon."

"It's great to have a Doraemon with his own magic pocket by your side."

When Jiang Yao saw Shen Zhijie say this, a glint flashed in her eyes. "Since Xiao Dingdang is so nice, then let Xiao Dingdang keep your treasure safe for you!"

When Shen Zhijie heard Jiang Yao say that, he knew that she was still thinking about his collection.

Ignoring Jiang Yao's question, he turned around to organize his guns and equipment, and put the fat cat into the cat carrier and carried it on his back.

Military laboratory.

Despite numerous experiments and research, Sang You has yet to find a solution.

Now, Sangze will be heading to the AAS area at any time, and for Sangze's safety, Sangyou has decided to scramble the existing data and conduct reverse research.

Sang You watched the changes in the values ​​on the machine in front of him and recorded the analysis results, then performed other reverse operations on the sample data.

The result is that repeated injections of small doses may cause small-scale changes to human genes.

Looking at the improved potion in his hand, Sang You didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

However, Sang You is certain that the development of the monster is aimed at creating cyborgs.

The experimental results were not ideal, which led to the existence of a large number of failed experimental subjects.

As for why so many experimental subjects survived, Sang You speculated that it was because the geographical conditions of the laboratory at the time did not allow for large-scale destruction.

It is possible that the laboratory was located in the city center or a crowded place, which led to the failed experimental subjects transforming and surviving on their own.

Thinking that the experimental subject could indeed transform on its own, Sang You decided to go to the AAS area with Sang Ze.

Sang You carefully stored away the developed medicine, destroyed the remaining specimen information, and recorded all the data on paper to take home.

...

After Jiang Yao stored the RV in her spatial storage, the group walked into the depths of the ruins.

Looking around at the collapsed buildings, the road sections that had collapsed, and the dilapidated doors and windows that could fall at any moment, Jiang Yao and the others proceeded cautiously, as they could encounter buildings or roads collapsing at any time.

They carefully investigate any suspicious buildings they encounter and manually record the buildings they have investigated.

Looking at the building in front of her, Jiang Yao felt that a cold wind would occasionally blow out of it, accompanied by some noise.

Seeing Jiang Yao staring blankly at the building, Xiao Mu asked, "What's wrong? Did you find anything suspicious?"

Jiang Yao shook her head and slowly said, "No, I just felt a slight noise inside."

Seeing this, Shen Zhijie stepped forward, pointed at the building, and said, "Then let's go in and take a look." He then walked into the building.

Jiang Yao looked at the big fat cat behind Shen Zhijie and shook her head helplessly. She always felt that Shen Zhijie was like the cat's servant.

Perhaps because it had been flooded, the stairwell was filled with an unpleasant odor.

Suddenly, a dark shadow ran past her feet. Jiang Yao shone her powerful flashlight in the direction of the shadow, but ran past without seeing what it was.

Shen Zhijie's voice came from ahead, roughly meaning that there were many rats ahead, and that Jiang Yao should be prepared.

Although Jiang Yao was mentally prepared, she still felt somewhat nauseous upon seeing such a swarm of rats.

The rats in front of me were like a boiling pot, stomping on each other, rolling around and squeaking. They looked a lot like the legendary rat king, only they were so big that I didn't know how to describe them.

According to records, the largest rat king currently consists of more than 30 rats, but the number of rats in front of us is incalculable. Every now and then, a few rats around us bring food and throw it into the deep pit.
