Zhang Mu had just stepped into the room. Because the door had been kicked in, he could see the situation in the room clearly with the help of some scattered sunlight.

Seeing that the aluminum alloy door was half open, Zhang Mu's heart suddenly became heavy.

Did someone go in, or was it a zombie?

Are you late?

Just as Zhang Mu was about to step in, a vicious male voice came from the room, warning Zhang Mu, "Raise your hands high and quickly step back until you are out of the house."

Human? That's fine.

Zhang Mu slowly raised his left hand that was holding the knife, pretending to obey his words, and slowly stepped back step by step, while staring at the place where the sound came from.

"Uncle, please leave!"

Suddenly there was a scream from the room, but then it seemed as if someone's mouth was covered, and only a vague sound could be heard.

This voice is Yuan Rui!

fine.

Zhang Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from Yuan Rui's reaction, this person should not have done anything cruel. At the beginning of the new era, it's not that this evil person still has kindness in his nature, but he still has a strong sense of awe for the government, the army, and the law.

However, as the power of the evolvers grows and they learn that the army's thermal weapons have been abandoned, this awe will completely dissipate over time.

After Zhang Mu slowly retreated ten meters away from the warehouse, the man in the room also grabbed Yuan Rui's neck tightly and followed him out of the room.

Zhang Mu finally saw the man who held Yuan Rui hostage. He was a short and fat man with some bald hair, probably in his thirties. He was looking Zhang Mu up and down.

When he saw the special Tang sword in Zhang Mu's hand, a trace of greed flashed across the short and fat man's eyes. He continued to stare at Zhang Mu viciously and said, "If you don't want this girl to die, give me the sword.

Slowly put the knife on the ground and kick it over. Boy, don't try any tricks.

Now, immediately, immediately."

As he was talking, seeing that Zhang Mu didn't react, the short and fat man tightened his arm around Yuan Rui's neck, and Yuan Rui's face had turned a little purple.

Zhang Mu looked very flustered and said quickly, "Here, here, I'll give it to you now. Don't touch her again. She's still a little girl."

Then he slowly squatted down, put the Tang sword on the ground, kicked the handle, and sent it directly to the feet of the short and fat man.

The short and fat man copied

He picked up the Tang sword on the ground and played with the sword that was extremely inconsistent with his body shape. However, he was still delighted when he saw the sharpness of the blade and its domineering appearance.

"I've given you the knife, now you can give her to me."

Zhang Mu deliberately used a pleading tone to beg the short and fat man.

"I can't tell, this chick is quite important to you, is she your secret crush or your girlfriend?

The cowardice displayed by Zhang Mu made the short and fat man even more presumptuous.

In that case, boy, the bulging bag in your backpack must be filled with food, open it and show it to me, quickly, or I will kill her right now."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mu quickly took off the backpack on his back. Since he couldn't use one hand, he could only use his left hand to take it off with difficulty, which looked very awkward.

The short and fat man's joking voice came to my ears, "Oh, you're a disabled person, haha."

Seeing Zhang Mu so weak and helpless, the short and fat man glanced at the struggling girl in front of him, and his lust suddenly swelled. He looked her up and down unscrupulously with his pair of thieving eyes, his mind full of evil thoughts.

"Open your backpack quickly, and let me see what good stuff you, a disabled person, have made."

As soon as Zhang Mu opened his backpack, the beautifully packaged canned food and bread he had just gotten from the convenience store appeared. The short and fat man drooled. He hadn't eaten all night, and when he saw such a rich meal, he instantly became impatient.

"Hand over the bag, you piece of crap, and stop dilly-dallying."

Zhang Mu lowered his head, a hint of sneer and disdain flashed in his eyes, but when he raised his head, he quickly changed to a submissive look, "Okay, don't touch her, I'll give it to you right away."

Yuan Rui struggled even harder, and burst into tears instantly when she saw the uncle staggering forward in front of her.

The uncle was fine when he went out in the morning. In order to get these foods, he must have gone through such a brutal battle and paid so much.

They just met yesterday, why was this uncle willing to use the food he exchanged for his life to save himself?

"Don't bother me. If you cry again, I will break your neck."

Hearing Yuan Rui's sobbing, a trace of impatience flashed in the short and fat man's eyes, and he urged Zhang Mu, "Hurry up! If you attract those man-eating monsters, I'll feed you both to them."

Zhang Mu quickened his pace slightly, but suddenly he stumbled and was about to fall to the ground, and his backpack was thrown forward.

Seeing the overflowing food, the short and fat man subconsciously relaxed.

He opened the hand holding the knife, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the backpack that Zhang Mu had thrown at him.

At this moment, Zhang Mu suddenly stabilized his body, accelerated his feet like a ghost, and hit the short and fat man in the face with his left fist!

"Hey, kid, you want to launch a sneak attack? Then let me show you how your grandfather dares to walk around outside."

Although he was a little surprised at Zhang Mu's sudden pounce, the short and fat man just sneered, shook Yuan Rui's body away with his left hand, and met Zhang Mu's fist with a punch.

With this reaction speed, he is definitely an agility-awakened evolver?

He awakened so quickly?

Without even having time to be surprised, their fists had already touched each other.

The moment their fists touched, Zhang Mu's expression changed.

No, this power, how is it possible?

An evolver who has awakened both agility and strength?

With such potential and ruthlessness, the short and fat man in front of him would definitely be a powerful figure if he lived to the future. I wonder what level of big boss he would be.

It's just a pity.

At this stage, if you can use 50% of the potential that evolution has given you, you will be considered a genius.

Besides, your opponent is me, Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu relaxed his strength the moment his fists touched each other. In front of the short and fat man's horrified eyes, he swayed a little, and an object flashing with a cold light appeared between his fingers.

It was the blade that Zhang Mu had hidden on his body just now.

With a slid of force, the sharp blade easily cut the aorta on the side of the short and fat man's throat, and blood gushed out violently.

At the same time, Zhang Mu's right chest was hit hard by the short and fat man's full-strength punch.

The short and fat man covered his throat which was constantly gushing out blood, unable to speak. After a few seconds, he knelt on the ground with an unwilling look on his face. Zhang Mu, who was sitting opposite him, was also knocked to the ground by the force that he could not dodge in time.

Zhang Mu's current body's ability to withstand blows is not much better than that of an ordinary person, which is why he has always been reluctant to fight zombies head-on.

After receiving the heavy blow, his fragile heart stopped suddenly, new and old injuries came together, and his consciousness gradually became unclear.

Faintly, he seemed to hear Yuan Rui's screams and cries, shaking his gradually unconscious body.

Before falling into a deep sleep, Zhang Mu couldn't help but curse in his heart.

This broken era is enough!

An evolver who has no potential to evolve superpowers is definitely raised by a stepmother.
