Although it has exhausted its physical strength, this insect is still full of energy.
Following the principle of not wasting time, Zhang Mu fully exploited the miserable labor force of the obsidian worms, while he and Yuan Rui sat aside to rest comfortably, enjoying the breeze, looking very cool.
Zhang Mu specifically asked the Black Obsidian to find a small group of zombies numbering about a hundred, which was just the size that it could handle on its own, and then he closed his eyes and rested.
After it was over, he discovered that the speed at which the Obsidian Worm cleared out a hundred zombies was only slightly slower than the speed at which the two of them worked together just now. This time, he finally felt at ease and let the Obsidian Worm solve the problem on its own.
Just like that, under the resentful eyes of the Obsidian Worm, Zhang Mu began to seize every minute and every second to recover. After resting for an hour, the Obsidian Worm had cleared more than 200 zombies by itself. Counting the more than 20 pieces it ate to replenish its energy, the number of first-level crystals in Zhang Mu's hands was exactly 200.
At this time, Zhang Mu also recovered. Although he did not return to his peak state, his body as a first-level evolver, plus the passive ability of the Blood Vine Lotus was still working. This one hour was enough for Zhang Mu to recover.
But Yuan Rui was different. There was a reason why her ability was rare. The recovery rate of this healing energy was too slow. Even if she sat on the ground and relaxed her whole body to recover, Yuan Rui only recovered one fifth of her energy.
This amount of energy was not enough to restore Zhang Mu to his peak state, so Zhang Mu did not let Yuan Rui take the risk of following him. He kept her within his sight and stood on the same front with the Obsidian.
However, Zhang Mu was smart this time. He did not look for a group of zombies with a number of about 500 zombies that exceeded the carrying capacity of himself and the Obsidian Worm. Instead, he picked out those with 200 to 300 softer zombies and started to squeeze them.
Xi'an City is so big that it is extremely easy to find a suitable group of zombies. The obsidian worm's sense of smell is so sensitive that it can distinguish the number of zombies in a group, even accurate to ten digits. This makes it very easy for Zhang Mu to collect the Yuan Crystals.
When night fell, Zhang Mu gave up the idea of continuing to clear out the zombies. He now had as many as three thousand Yuan Crystals in his hands.
Liu Shuo's appearance had raised his guard several levels.
There are so many of them. In this huge city of Xi'an, you might encounter such an opponent. If he is hostile, it will be very troublesome to get entangled with him, not to mention that he has Yuan Rui with him.
Zhang Mu always planned for the worst possible outcome. If Liu Shuo had chosen Yuan Rui as a way to threaten Zhang Mu, Zhang Mu would have been helpless. Zhang Mu had seen many enemies who were even more vicious and had no bottom line, especially in the late stage of the apocalypse. No matter what moral bottom line you had, no matter what a fair fight you had, winning and gaining benefits was the real way to go.
Following the guidance of the Epoch Merchant Ring on his hand, Zhang Mu, who already had 3,000 Yuan Crystals in his hand, stayed quietly not far from the Epoch Store.
Now it looked like just a large lawn, but Zhang Mu knew that once he stepped within ten meters of it, the space would begin to transform and twist to another place.
"Yuan Rui, I'm going to take care of something. You and Xiao Hei stay here and wait for me to come out." Zhang Mu told Yuan Rui worriedly. After all, Zhang Mu couldn't get out before the deal was completed, and naturally he didn't know the situation outside. But he thought that there shouldn't be any threat to the combination of the Black Obsidian and Yuan Rui. After resting for five hours, Yuan Rui had restored her healing energy to full value, enough for the Black Obsidian to return to its heyday.
On the tenth day of the apocalypse in Xi'an City, Zhang Mu thought that there should be no evolvers or mutants that are so strong as to ignore the obsidian worms that have a chance to recover. As for the large zombie swarms, he was not worried at all, as they dared not get close to the Epochal Store.
"Okay, got it."
Yuan Rui nodded decisively, she knew where Zhang Mu was going. This was also why Zhang Mu felt comfortable with Yuan Rui, Yuan Rui never asked about things Zhang Mu didn't want to talk about.
It’s not that he couldn’t say it, but Zhang Mu felt that some things would be useless if he said too much, so it was better not to say it.
When Zhang Mu was about to step into the Jiyuan store, he still felt uneasy, so he turned around and placed the Obsidian Claw on Yuan Rui's hand, saying calmly, "Stand still and don't follow me. Hide this in your clothes and protect yourself. Got it?"
Yuan Rui squeezed the paw of Xiao Hei's ex and laughed, "Uncle, are you concerned about me?"
At this point, Zhang Mu was speechless and didn't know how to answer Yuan.
Rui could no longer maintain her previous calmness, so she simply turned around and disappeared from Yuan Rui's sight in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Huh... Zhang Mu let out a long sigh, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and cursed himself in his heart, "Zhang Mu, ah Zhang Mu, you have lived like a dog for the past ten years. How come you haven't even picked up a girl? You can't resist such a young girl. You are really a loser."
"How dare you come in?"
This cold snort completely interrupted Zhang Mu's wild thoughts. He suppressed his emotions in the deepest part of his heart. When he slowly raised his head, his eyes were as indifferent as ever.
The man in front of him had short fiery red hair and even red eyebrows. He was wearing a fiery red robe. Unlike the elegant No. 37, this Epoch Merchant from Xi'an City gave people a domineering feeling and pressed Zhang Mu tightly.
But these had no effect on Zhang Mu. Even if he knew that he had killed his agent, what would it matter? He couldn't do anything to him. The most he could do was not to trade with him.
He raised his eyebrows, looked at the red-haired man in front of him without fear, and said calmly, "Survival of the fittest. He is not as good as me, and he wants to take my life. There is nothing worth saying about his death."
The red-haired Epoch Merchant did not expect that Zhang Mu was not frightened by his aura at all. His tone became even harder. "You mean, my first-ranked agent deserved to die?"
"Isn't it?"
Zhang Mu casually threw the question back to the Red Hair Era merchant, as if it was a matter of course.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The red-haired Epoch Merchant said three good words with a look on his face. His red eyebrows trembled, and he waved his sleeves, pointing in the direction where Zhang Mu came in and said, "Sorry, Epoch Store No. 35 does not welcome you. You can leave now."
Zhang Mu seemed to have expected him to say that. His tone changed from the previous indifferent tone to a tough one, with each sentence increasing in momentum.
"I have three thousand first-level crystals and one hundred first-level beast cores. Don't you want to do this business?"
"I have eight bunches of Luoyang peony buds. Wouldn't you like to do business with me?"
"I am number 001, the first-priority agent of the Luoyang City Jiyuan Store branch. Are you still not going to do this business for this stupid number 009?"
