Perhaps worried that getting too close would cause unnecessary trouble, the man was about 20 meters away from Cen Yu, raising his hands to try his best to show his friendliness.

It's obvious that there are more than two people on the other side, and the fact that there are two people on watch here only proves that there are more people in the other side's team.

Cen Yu wasn't the leader of this group, so he turned around directly and said, "Jiang Min."

"I know you're eavesdropping."

"come out."

Jiang Min hadn't expected that his eavesdropping had been discovered so early... He pushed open the door and walked to Cen Yu's side, "I promise I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

"I just hope the situation doesn't get any more awkward."

Cen Yu simply pointed at the man in the overcoat, letting Jiang Min make the decision, then reached out and handed the hand to He Yuxing, pulling him up from the ground. "It's your turn to keep watch," he said.

He gestured for He Yuxing to find an empty house.

Then he told Jiang Min, "He said he was a homeless person and was very hungry and needed to get something to eat."

Jiang Min understood what Cen Yu meant.

Normally, wanderers wouldn't approach this area, even though the mutated zone hadn't expanded to this extent a week ago.

However, this place is also close to the edge of the mutation zone. Wanderers are generally unwilling to go near these dangerous places. They are not very capable and can only make a living in some small dungeons. The dangers in the mutation zone are too unpredictable, and rational wanderers will not go near it.

There are only two possibilities for what the other party said—

1. He didn't understand homeless people; he had only heard of them.

2. He's a madman.

The other person clearly didn't look like a madman, so Jiang Min looked at him.

"Name?" Jiang Min asked.

“Song Xia,” the man in the coat immediately said. Seemingly worried that Jiang Min wouldn’t believe him, he quickly added the name of the city he used to live in, “I know it from a friend. I swear I just wanted to try my luck.”

Jiang Min had heard of that city, and the other person could also tell her the specific location, including the names of some hunters she knew at the time.

To further convince Jiang Min, he mentioned some of the dungeons he had visited. "I can't talk about my abilities," Song Xia said, still holding up his hand. "You know, it's a secret."

Wanderers in the wilderness generally don't have very strong abilities, which is why they choose to wander rather than join a dungeon party.

Since the other party has been to so many dungeons, it's more accurate to say that they are a hunter who prefers to act alone rather than a wanderer struggling to survive in the wilderness.

Given that this was a mutation zone, Jiang Min cautiously asked him why he had approached this area. "It started expanding three weeks ago," Jiang Min said. "Although it didn't reach here at the time, news travels very fast in the wilderness, especially news related to mutation zones."

“You knew that, but you still came here.”

"This area is very likely to be swallowed up by the mutation zone."

Song Xia still held his hand up, looking somewhat hesitant.

Even from a distance of about 20 meters, Jiang Min could still clearly see the other person's expression; in the end, the other person made up their mind—

"I'm looking for someone."

"who?"

“My younger brother,” Song Xia said. “He joined a hunter team.”

“But a month ago, I lost all contact with him. I asked around and someone told me that the last time they saw their team was in this area.” He still held up his hand. “So I thought I’d try my luck.”

"That's the truth."

Jiang Min then asked about the team and his brother's name.

Once he confirmed it was a team he recognized, he gestured for Song Xia to come a little closer... He took a can of food out of his pocket and tossed it to Song Xia, saying, "Eat it and then we'll leave."

The other person immediately picked up the can from the ground, then eagerly opened it and began to gulp it down.

Jiang Min stood in the open space of the hotel, looking at the other person.

Soon, the team member from the barbershop also came out. He and Jiang Min were assigned to the same group for night watch.

Seemingly surprised to find a stranger in front of him, he immediately asked Jiang Min about the other person's identity and breathed a sigh of relief after receiving an explanation.

Song Xia finished the canned food but still didn't leave. Seeing that Jiang Min didn't seem to want to send him away, he moved closer and asked, "Can I join your team?"

Jiang Min rejected him.

Song Xia looked a little disappointed, but he nodded, as if he also understood that it was very abrupt for a stranger like himself to suddenly propose joining someone else's team in the mutated zone.

There were some abandoned cars around the motel.

Song Xia casually found a place to sit down. He was wrapped in a coat and looked very tired.

He glanced at Jiang Min and the others a few more times, probably because he was really too sleepy. In the end, he couldn't help but close his eyes. Perhaps for him, it would be safer to be where the hunter team was.

"Boss?" The barber looked at Jiang Min.

"Never mind him," Jiang Min said.

He stood there, took out his homemade cigarette, lit it with a match... He could clearly see that the moment he took out the match, an undisguised look of disgust flashed across the face of the teammate in front of him.

In Jiang Min's view, his teammate's appearance was also very strange.

He looked as if he had been cut and then stitched back together, his body covered with countless large and small stitches, as if he had been cut into countless pieces and then sewn back together. He still looked like that team member, but inside he was a different person.

Jiang Min looked at it for a while, then asked, "What direction do you think we should take next?"

“Oasis Cinema,” said the member in monster disguise. “I remember we’re going to pass by there next.”
