Despite the shop owner's clear refusal, Wuming stood motionless, one hand propped against the door.

"I'll add crystal cores for you."

The shop owner shook his head, still not very interested. "Even if you give me more crystal cores today, I won't do this deal."

Seeing that he had no other choice, Wuming finally withdrew his hand and stepped aside.

Suddenly, the shop owner paused, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Wuming.

"I remember you're a level seven top-tier metal-type ability user, right?"

Wuming didn't intend to say anything more to him. Since he was no longer doing business, the search for the female zombie would have to be carried out by him alone.

"Wait!" Seeing him leave without looking back, the shop owner instinctively reached out and grabbed him.

Wuming turned his head and said, "Since you're not doing business, please let go. I'm in a hurry about this."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll do business with you." The news shop owner quickly changed his tune, "But this time I don't want the crystal cores, I want to trade with you."

"Change what?" Wuming was a little puzzled. He had been dealing with Xiao Qihang's boss for a long time, and this was the first time he had seen him look so nervous, as if something terrible had happened.

This forced him to be on guard.

“Nameless, I believe I have been more than kind to you. I kept the news of you buying it last time a secret,” the news shop owner said. “If I hadn’t been ethical and had reported this news to someone else, you should know you wouldn’t be alive now.”

Wuming frowned, his expression displeased. "Are you threatening me?"

"No, no, no! I'm asking you." The shop owner's expression was unusually serious.

Nameless was taken aback by his words and asked in return, "Ask me? I've never seen anyone ask for help like this before."

Is the threat a ploy to extract a favor in return?

It seems that this matter is quite serious.

Wuming stood there for a moment and thought, "If it's something that could cost me my life, I won't do it."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

The shop owner panicked when he saw this.

"Are you looking for a female zombie who can't even speak clearly? I might know where she went. Don't you really want to know this? If it's any later, she might be dead."

The nameless man finally stopped.

His fist clenched and then relaxed.

Even he himself didn't know why he would stop because of this news.

"She has very likely broken into the military area!" the messenger said urgently. "If she's discovered, she's doomed. If you want to save her, you need to get in as soon as possible!"

The nameless man was skeptical, but eventually turned to look at him. "How did you know about this?"

“I happened to see you walking with that female zombie before. Today, just now when I went to investigate, I think I saw her sneaking into the military area behind someone else.”

Wuming remained vigilant, analyzing the credibility of the news shop owner's words in his mind.

"Actually, you want me to join the military region, right?" The nameless man saw through the news agency owner's thoughts. "What you want to exchange with me is related to the military region, isn't it?"

The shopkeeper naturally knew how outrageous this request was. Although he felt guilty, he nodded for the sake of Mingshan.

"Why should I go? Don't you know who I am? I escaped from there, survived countless near-death experiences, and lost all my memories. If I go back now, wouldn't I be sending myself to my death?"

An inexplicable surge of anger welled up in Wuming's chest.

His eyes, which had been unremarkable on his face, suddenly brightened, gleaming with a chilling glint.

"Don't you want to save that female zombie anymore? Since it's about saving people, I beg you to save one more. My poor little nephew thought that they were training people with superpowers there to protect the islanders, but I only found out today that things are not like that at all! It will only get more and more dangerous for Mingshan to stay there."

The shop owner's eyes instantly reddened. The middle-aged man, who was usually slovenly and indifferent to everything, appeared extremely vulnerable at this moment.

His little Mingshan is only so young. Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, the two of them have stumbled and struggled through so many difficulties. He finally entered the military region he had always dreamed of, and thought that the future would be better and better.

But little did they know that the establishment of the military region was driven by the selfish motives of a powerful figure from the very beginning.

They want to establish themselves as kings, but that should not be a reason to sacrifice the lives of innocent and ignorant children!

His tone gradually changed from anxious to choked with sobs as he pleaded, "I know my request is excessive, and I know this deal is extremely unfair, but I really have no other choice. If I had known that the military region was for training soldiers to fight, I would never have let my nephew go there."

"You have no idea he was only a teenager. Before the apocalypse, he was still learning quadratic equations. He was so young. How could those damned people bear to let him do such a thing?"

Wuming was taken aback.

He remembered that the information broker had found out that he and the military region had conflicting ideologies, which was why he had started his escape.

This is why I have no memory of anything for a whole year.

So is this idea war?

He didn't know that entering the military region meant starting a war, and he was unwilling to do so, so he joined forces with others to plan his escape.

In the end, this is the result.

Although he had forgotten exactly what terrifying things he had experienced, his heart still ached dully at that moment.

Wuming still left.

He didn't leave a single word.

The shop owner knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly. He was truly at his wit's end. He had pulled many strings, trying to find someone to send Mingshan back, but everyone he tried to reach out to was evasive and made excuses.

He couldn't get any useful information.

Why is that?

The more this happened, the more panicked he became. Could it be that something had happened to Mingshan inside?

Unfortunately, his superpower was too useless; he couldn't do anything.

Now, even the nameless one, who was the only one capable of doing such a thing, left with a cold expression.

It's all my fault for doing so poorly. I should have firmly rejected Mingshan's idea of ​​joining the military region back then.

Unfortunately, everything is irreversible.

At this moment, he felt nothing but endless regret.

Wuming was conflicted.

Subconsciously, there are two people fighting, pulling on a rope. The one on the left says, "Don't go there. It's dangerous. You've already died there once. Why go back to die?"

The person on the right said, "Go ahead." He could sense that the female zombie seemed very important to him.
