Zhang Mu's destination this time is not Xi'an City. The price changes in the first half of the year were too profound. Zhang Mu missed too much, so he kept it in mind. Zhang Mu was too unlucky and did not seize the business opportunity to turn things around, so he was left behind step by step. Coupled with his identity as an ordinary evolver, he gradually became one of those small businessmen struggling on the brink of life and death.

Zhang Mu could tell by the moonlight that there were no living people in the village before him.

He asked the Obsidian Worm, and now it has not sensed any traces of the existence of mutant beasts, unless the strength is one level higher than its own. But if that is the case, then there must be at least a third-level mutant beast in this village.

It has only been a month since the apocalypse began. If there is a third-level mutant beast in this small village, Zhang Mu will admit defeat. As for whether there are zombies, the obsidian worm can no longer tell. Because the faint smell of corruption in the air is not very strong, it cannot judge whether there are zombies or they have left.

But in fact, it is not a big problem. Even with the cover of night, the scattered zombies pose no threat to their current lineup of two people and two beasts.

After considering many things, Zhang Mu chose to stay here instead of continuing to move forward into the night. He and the mutant wolfhound were all running so fast that they were exhausted. On the contrary, the obsidian worm carrying Yuan Rui was walking leisurely and did not show any sign of fatigue. Its physical strength had been raised to a very strong level.

Just like that, after Zhang Mu, who was a little out of breath, looked around at the entrance of the village for a while, he walked in slowly after barely recovering to his normal state. The obsidian worm stopped on Yuan Rui's shoulder boredly, and the wolfhound followed behind with its tail wagging. It seemed that it smelled something unusual, so it stopped for a moment and was about to sniff it carefully, but after being urged by Zhang Mu, it didn't care about it anymore and just kicked its legs to rush up.

Zhang Mu slapped the head of the mutant wolfhound that had just squeezed in, and said to it at eye level, "What are you doing? It seems that you didn't use your full strength just now. Now you are not even actively looking for a place to stay."

The mutant wolfhound stretched out its tongue aggrievedly, wanting to lick

He tried to hit Zhang Mu's head, but Zhang Mu dodged it with some disgust, so he had to hide behind Yuan Rui in disappointment.

Zhang Mu searched everywhere but didn't find a suitable place to live. Almost all the houses were damaged, and there were leaks everywhere. He didn't care, but Zhang Mu felt that even if Yuan Rui was wrapped in bear skin, she might not be able to bear it. Because later he checked again and found that Yuan Rui's talent was too amazing, which led to a kind of balance. Yuan Rui didn't even meet the most basic standards of a first-level evolver, not to mention agility and strength. She was just an ordinary little girl. In this kind of weather, a bear skin couldn't withstand the sudden drop in temperature.

It's okay to be walking now. If he really rests like this, Zhang Mu estimates that there will be one more patient in his team tomorrow. The role of a doctor has become a patient. Zhang Mu doesn't know whether Yuan Rui can treat his internal injuries.

There was really no other way. Zhang Mu didn't know what had happened to these houses. It seemed like they were destroyed by some special creatures. However, the Obsidian said that there should be no traces of mutant beasts here. Zhang Mu didn't take it seriously. Maybe some mutant beasts had invaded before, but they left now.

Zhang Mu cursed these mutant beasts in his heart. Why did these mutant beasts like to destroy houses? It seemed that they were not just doing it for food. It was really a bad taste.

Finally, Zhang Mu had no other choice but to find a house that looked large. However, the door was broken and the wind could not stop pouring in. Zhang Mu asked Yuan Rui to hide in the corner and prepared to use her body to block the cold wind for him. But at this moment, Zhang Mu suddenly glanced at the mutant wolfhound who was hesitating whether to come in together. Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he slowly said, "Come in together."

Although the mutant wolfhound felt puzzled by Zhang Mu's sudden tenderness, it was not as well-informed as the obsidian worm in knowing Zhang Mu's thoughts. It could not resist the temptation of the house and stepped in.

However, when the mutant wolfhound approached Zhang Mu cautiously, he hugged the mutant wolfhound's neck, dragged it to the corner, pressed it down, and used it as a windbreak for Yuan Rui.

The bear skin under Yuan Rui's body was enough to keep her warm. In this corner, Yuan Rui was well protected.

Yuan Rui felt a little sorry at this time, blaming Zhang Mu for being too ruthless. She rubbed the wolfhound's neck, which was covered with hair because of Zhang Mu's rubbing, and said, "Uncle, please be gentler. I'm actually fine. I don't need the puppy to block the wind for me. This bear skin is enough. It's very thick. I'm quite hot."

However, under the abnormally aggrieved look of the mutant wolfhound, Zhang Mu sat in another corner.

"Don't pay attention to it, it's just being pretentious. You go to sleep and pull its fur over to sleep with you." After hearing what Zhang Mu said, Yuan Rui said "oh" and fell asleep leaning against the wolfhound.

"As for you, don't look so aggrieved. You were supposed to sleep on your stomach somewhere in the house anyway. Shouldn't I let you do something useful? I've been raising you for nothing. Besides, aren't you a male? Otherwise, I'll cut your hair off so you don't have to act as a wind shield."

The mutant wolfhound understood this sentence immediately and used its tail to block the vital parts of its lower body. Its small eyes looked at Zhang Mu vigilantly, fearing that he would really attack it.

"If you don't scold me or do anything, I will really cut you."

Zhang Mu glared at the mutant wolfhound, and his fierce tone made the mutant wolfhound whimper, then buried its head deeply in its front legs and said nothing more.

He simply used the blanket to cover his body, placed the obsidian dagger on his chest as usual, and fell asleep without thinking too much.

The obsidian worm had already consciously found a corner of Yuan Rui's bear skin and wrapped itself tightly.

After a while, the two people and two animals in the room gradually fell asleep, but for some reason, the sound of the wind outside suddenly changed. A rustling sound that was completely opposite to the previous sound began to sound, and gradually surrounded the big room.

The broken door creaked and shook, as if it was warning Zhang Mu and the others of something, but they could not hear anything. For some reason, Zhang Mu and his group were all sleeping very soundly. Not to mention Zhang Mu, even the mutant wolfhound, which should have been the most vigilant among them, was only breathing heavily.

The rustling sound was getting closer.
