Zhang Mu turned around suddenly, and as expected, he was now surrounded by more than two hundred zombies, and the distance between them was only thirty meters at most.

Logically speaking, these zombies driven by their feeding instincts should not hesitate to pounce on Zhang Mu and tear him to pieces when they see fresh flesh and blood. But now, although they looked ferocious, they did not dare to take a step forward. They probably saw that the white beam of light in the merchant passage behind them gradually stabilized, and they were bound by the rules and could not cross the boundary.

More than two hundred level one zombies with three times the strength of Zhang Mu were surrounding him. Even Zhang Mu, who had just been strengthened once, did not dare to be careless and was rapidly analyzing the escape route in his mind.

It would be nice if I could hide in the Epoch Shop until the debugging period is over.

But Zhang Mu threw this idea out of his mind as soon as it came up. The Era Caravan doesn't need trash, so you must show your unique talent in your own evolutionary potential or business ability so as not to be eliminated by their rules.

Zhang Mu had a feeling that the gathering of so many zombies was closely related to No. 37 inside, who was probably causing him to bleed profusely and be unhappy.

Didn't he just take the most expensive one? How stingy! Didn't he always sweep away the first-level zombies around him and leave a large open space?

Zhang Mu cursed No. 37 in his heart, but he had no other choice in the current situation.

Suddenly, the white beam of light behind Zhang Mu suddenly shrank. The pressure was reduced, and the zombies could no longer hold back and moved forward a few steps. Zhang Mu could clearly see the blood stains all over the faces of the zombies in front of him and the two rows of black and yellow fangs protruding and biting continuously.

It turned out that he was the one behind this. Zhang Mu started cursing in his heart.

Do this to me?

While staring at the zombies in front of him, Zhang Mu looked back at the light column from time to time. Seeing the light column behind him flickering alternately between light and dark again, Zhang Mu directly pulled out the special Tang sword from behind, holding it tightly with one hand. The cold handle calmed his restless heart, and his eyes quickly scanned in four directions.

Got it!

After a feasible plan was generated, Zhang Mu moved. He tilted the blade, keeping close to the ground without touching it, and rushed at a normal speed towards the southwest direction where the zombie encirclement seemed to be weaker.

Seeing the delicious food coming to their doorstep, the zombies were frightened by the pressure from the white beam of light. Although they did not dare to move forward, they opened their bloody mouths and waited for Zhang Mu to fall into their trap.

At the same time, the zombies in other directions saw that the food had run away, and they all rushed towards the southwest.

Getting closer.

In just three seconds, the distance between Zhang Mu and the zombie group was less than ten meters. If the other zombies came over, his escape plan would be hopeless.

I hope that my idea can succeed.

Zhang Mu thought silently in his heart.

Fortunately, things developed exactly as Zhang Mu had guessed.

In the zombies' shrunken brains, there is no concept of the same kind. In their eyes, there is only food to share, and everything else is an obstacle. The zombies in the southwest direction will not move, waiting for Zhang Mu to deliver his food, but the zombies in other directions don't care about so much, and don't know how to work in a team. They rely on their numbers to knock away the original zombies in the southwest direction. What's worse, the zombies in the original place were pushed to the ground and trampled to pieces.

Although the zombies at the original position were weak, they were not willing to let go of the fresh blood food that was delivered to their doorstep. They immediately got up and pushed away their own kind who they also regarded as obstacles. The encirclement was already in chaos.

In addition, the zombies were restrained in front of the white light column. Zhang Mu found the right opportunity to stop his body and instantly moved sideways towards the shrinking encirclement. He burst out with four times the speed of an adult and turned directly to the side of the encirclement.

Noticing that the smell of food was getting farther and farther away, the zombies began to riot, forming a torrent and rushing towards the direction where Zhang Mu was escaping. Some zombies that didn't react in time were crushed into meat paste.

Zhang Mu ran wildly along the inner side of the encirclement. Seeing the zombies that surrounded him from the side but did not dare to move forward, Zhang Mu simply raised his knife and chopped off their ugly heads. However, his speed inevitably slowed down as he swung the knife, and he was soon surrounded again by the zombies that surrounded him from behind.

Two seconds later, he finally ran to the weakest part of the encirclement made by Zhang Mu, with only two layers of zombies left. He turned his wrist with force, and used his speed to chop off the head of the inner layer of zombies closest to him. He stomped his right foot again, stepped on the shoulder of the headless body that was still standing there, and kicked back hard, using the reaction force to jump over the zombies in the next layer, and easily jumped out of the encirclement.

The outer layer of zombies couldn't reach Zhang Mu, and immediately turned around and pounced on him. Zhang Mu didn't dare to fight with it, so he burst out with four times the speed again and disappeared in a flash.

“Hoo…Hoo…”

The instant burst of speed could not be maintained all the time, so Zhang Mu found a direction with few lights and ran wildly until he rushed back to an alley. He stopped. His face flushed a little, he panted lightly, took two big breaths of air, and then began to slowly adjust his breathing.

Walking back and forth in the alley, Zhang Mu didn't see a single zombie. It seemed that this place was indeed remote.

Zhang Mu walked out of the alley and saw a shabby little bungalow in front of him. It looked like a warehouse. There was a hole in the wooden door, probably because it was visited by roaming zombies. Zhang Mu hesitated whether to go in and stay.

But after looking at the surrounding environment, there seemed to be no better choice. Zhang Mu held the Tang sword across his chest, pushed open the broken wooden door, and walked straight in.

As soon as he entered the house, the little light on the roadside disappeared completely. In the darkness, Zhang Mu listened carefully to the sounds around him.

Suddenly, as he approached, he heard a barely perceptible breathing sound.

Zhang Mu's footsteps were steady. He walked forward step by step, and his breathing in the darkness gradually became hurried.

It's human!

Zhang Mu immediately stopped, took out a lighter from his backpack and lit a white candle. He observed the things in front of him by the steadily jumping flame of the candle.

It turns out there is another door!

It is made of thickened aluminum alloy, and there are only a few scratches and dents on the door. No wonder it has escaped the zombies' hunting.

He said in his gentlest voice, "Friend, I am not one of those monsters. I am just passing through. I will leave after a few hours of rest."

After hearing Zhang Mu's words, the people inside the door seemed to be relieved. Then there was the sound of the bolt being pulled open, and a girl about Zhang Mu's age showed her head, then immediately shrank back, opened the door a little, and urged Zhang Mu anxiously, "Come in quickly, what are you waiting for, those monsters will eat people."

The beginning of the new era is really good. I haven't experienced the truth, kindness and beauty of human nature for a long time. If it were in the future, if Zhang Mu was so close to someone else's residence, not killing you would be very merciful.

Zhang Mu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, then he leaned sideways and squeezed in through the crack of the open door.

...with the help of

In the light of the white candle, Zhang Mu looked at the girl in front of him who was slowly swallowing the compressed biscuits handed to her by Zhang Mu. He looked at her carefully.

She has long eyelashes and a delicate oval face under her bangs. Her facial features are not very good-looking when viewed separately, but they are harmonious and clean when put together.

The girl was a little scared by Zhang Mu's gaze. She subconsciously shrank back and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Mu smiled in silence, thinking that he had gone too far by staring at the girl's face. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Just now I saw a few scratches and impact marks in front of your door. Did a zombie come in?"

"Yes, yes, zombies? Those monsters? They really look like the ones I've seen in the movies, but they run so fast that I almost couldn't get back. Just now, one of them banged on my door for a long time before walking away. I couldn't hold the door all the time, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to fall asleep after it left."

The little girl was easily distracted and completely forgot about Zhang Mu's impoliteness just now. She patted her chest in fear.

She finally met a human being who was not a biting person, and she started talking to him without any guard at all.

"Have you come back from outside? Are there still those monsters outside now? And what was that sound this evening? Is what he said true?" The girl blinked and asked Zhang Mu a series of questions.

The little girl was full of curiosity about the man who came back safely from such a terrifying world outside, holding a long sword with a very domineering style in his hand.

Although he was a little tired, Zhang Mu had no choice but to answer all the questions asked by such a simple girl who was not very worldly-wise.

In the middle of the conversation, Zhang Mu suddenly stopped the topic, looked at the girl and said, "My name is Zhang Mu, the Mu of Chi Mu. I haven't asked what your name is yet? Do you still want this to be your home?"

"Oh, my name is Yuan Rui. I just graduated from college and opened an online store. This is my warehouse and I live here. I usually do the purchasing, customer service, modeling, and express delivery by myself. Let me tell you, I'm awesome."

The girl named Yuan Rui showed a hint of pride on her face, and Zhang Mu couldn't help but admire her. It was really not easy for a girl who had just graduated from college to work so hard to earn money and be self-reliant.

"Uncle, what about you?"

Uncle? Zhang Mu's admiration instantly vanished. This body is only eighteen years old, okay? Even if he is in the future, he is only twenty-eight, not much older than this girl. How can he be an uncle?

Actually, it was no wonder that the girl called him that. Although he had changed his clothes, he had not had time to take care of his stubble and long hair when he was wandering before. In addition, his habitual hoarse voice and the vicissitudes of life in his eyes. Maybe the girl was right to call him uncle.

Zhang Mu coughed awkwardly, glanced around the 20-square-meter room, thought for a moment, walked to a corner, sat down against the load-bearing wall, closed his eyes and said softly, "Yuan Rui, thank you for your trust, I'll just sit here and rest for a while.

I have things to do tomorrow, so I'll rest first. You should go to sleep too.

I'm here, don't worry."

"you......"

Yuan Rui still had a lot of questions to ask, so Zhang Mu ignored her. The little girl angrily covered herself with the quilt and turned away.

"Bad guy."

Zhang Mu still heard the little girl's whisper. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he said something silently in his heart.

Yes, you are right, I, Zhang Mu, am a bad person.
