Zhang Mu silently ate the last spider leg in his hand, threw it away, patted the obsidian worm's carapace and said, "Since their meat is not delicious, then it has no value. Let's just go."

Obsidian looked at Zhang Mu suspiciously and asked, "Aren't you going to check it out? What if there are fish that slip through the net?"

After hearing the Obsidian's concerns, Zhang Mu chuckled and said, "Do you remember where you got these charred mutant spiders? They were outside the sea of ​​fire, which means that these mutant spiders you got have already escaped from the range of the flames, but they still can't escape death. Not to mention the vast majority of them that are still inside or trying to escape from underground."

They have no aversion to gasoline, so when we poured gasoline on them just now, none of them dodged it. Instead, they all pounced on it for the energy from the oil tank.

Almost every one of them is soaked in gasoline, and even if there are, do you know why the existence of these mutant spiders is the biggest threat?

Because their only and most fatal point is their huge number of tens of thousands.

Without such a large population base, these mutant spiders are nothing at all, not even a first-order mutant beast. How do they get energy? Not being treated as a dessert by other mutant beasts is already pretty good, so there's no need to worry so much. "

The obsidian worm thought it made sense, so it stopped caring and was about to turn around and leave. But Zhang Mu grabbed him, turned over and jumped onto the obsidian worm's carapace, saying jokingly, "Since you tricked me just now, you should behave yourself and remember to fly more steadily."

The helpless obsidian worm had no choice but to carry Zhang Mu and fly back to where Yuan Rui and the others were just now at a low altitude.

The mutant wolfhound knew that he had slept for too long, so he focused on guarding Yuan Rui and Hao Hao.

Zhang Mu smiled at the mutant wolfhound's appearance, walked over and rubbed its head, saying, "You're doing pretty well now."

Yuan Rui came up and said, "Uncle, how is it going? Are you okay?"

"Is it possible? If not, we can try it later."

Her worries were not without reason, because Yuan Rui had felt an explosion of danger when she sat on the obsidian worm's back armor. There were so many spider silks that if she was not careful, they would all be lost.

"I'm here, I guarantee it, how big of a problem can there be?"

Zhang Mu's confident smile calmed the worried Yuan Rui.

He noticed that Haohao was staring at him intently, as if he was afraid to hear some news from him.

Zhang Mu smiled, then became serious, leaned down and looked at Haohao, "Haohao, I think you are a man, so I have to tell you the truth. Mom is gone, she has gone to heaven. The bad guys who caused your mom to leave have received their due retribution. And the direct murderer of your mom, the big spider, has been eaten clean by its offspring."

But just now your brother went to help you deal with all those spiders. Look, this is one of them. The others are even worse than it."

Haohao, who had experienced so much, pretended to be strong at first, but when Zhang Mu took out the charred corpse of a mutant spider, he burst into tears.

After a while, Zhang Mu saw that Haohao still couldn't stop crying, and his voice was getting louder and louder, so he frowned and said to him, "Stop crying!"

Haohao was so frightened that he stopped crying and stared at Zhang Mu blankly, not daring to make a sound.

Zhang Mu also knew that this was too cruel for a ten-year-old boy, but this was not a peaceful era. This was the end of the world, an end of the world where people would be eaten without leaving any bones.

Weakness and tears will not win sympathy, but will only lead to more unscrupulous bullying. Therefore, being strong is the minimum that must be done, even for a child.

Zhang Mu placed the charred spider corpse in his palm, in front of Haohao, and said slowly, "You need to be strong, and your mother also needs to see a strong Haohao, do you know? The spider corpse in my hand is one of the murderers who killed your mother."

Hearing Zhang Mu's words, the little boy's eyes were filled with hatred and anger.

Zhang Mu continued,

dquo;You have to become a little man now. You are still young, so your brother will do the main work for you. Eating it will be considered revenge for your mother. When you grow up, destroy all these monsters that threaten mankind, and that will be another kind of revenge. ”

Haohao suddenly stretched out his little hand, slapped the mutant spider corpse in Zhang Mu's hand and said, "I eat it."

Zhang Mu didn't give it to him right away. He stared at Haohao and said seriously, "This thing tastes terrible. It may be worse than anything you've eaten before. Have you thought it through? Do you still want to eat it?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Haohao's eyes, as if he was frightened by Zhang Mu, but he quickly said firmly, "I want to eat."

This time, Zhang Mu let go and let Haohao hold him and start chewing.

Haohao probably didn't expect that there would be something so disgusting. He wanted to spit it out after taking a bite. But when he saw Zhang Mu's serious face and what he had just said, he remembered that this was the murderer who killed his mother. He endured the pain and tore off some strips of meat bit by bit and swallowed it with difficulty.

There was a glimmer of pity in Yuan Rui's eyes. She felt that Zhang Mu had gone too far. She was about to speak but was glared back by Zhang Mu. She dared not speak.

This is a hurdle that he must go through on his road to growth. If he lives in pain and tears, he will be ruined. This principle is the same whether in the past life or the future life.

It’s just that now in the end times, it has been magnified much more.

The weak will eventually be eliminated. The mortality rate of children and the elderly is extremely high. Even if he has Zhang Mu's care and Wang Liang's protection, if he can't do it himself, then nothing will work. No one can protect him for a lifetime. Zhang Mu must use this cruel method to make him grow up quickly, otherwise he can't get out of the shadow of this incident now, maybe he will never get out of it in his life.

Zhang Mujian was not impatient at all and waited patiently for Haohao to deal with the corpse of the mutant spider.

Looking into Zhang Mu's eyes, Hao Hao gnawed the last bit of spider meat with a determined look, and threw the remaining shell to the ground, as if he had completed the task assigned by Zhang Mu. He said to Zhang Mu in front of him with a little pride,

"Big brother, I've eaten it all!"
