Zhang Mu had been worried about the huge number of first-level zombies along the way, like a heavy stone pressing on the weakest part of his heart.

That is time. He must race against time with this zombie horde and this intelligent zombie!

With an intelligent zombie in charge of the zombie group, not only will the power of the entire zombie group be under unified command, but most importantly, it will allocate resources with a focused tendency, giving priority to those zombies that are strong and can quickly advance to the second level.

Once these selected zombies evolve completely to the second level, all gathering places in cities except those with Epoch Stores will suffer a devastating blow.

I knew there were only ninety-nine Epoch Stores in the world, and there were only twenty Epoch Stores allocated to the whole of China based on population. Think about how many cities there are in China. Even after the end of the world, how many people are left? If all of them are stuffed into these twenty cities, how can it be possible? Humans today have not yet discovered the blessing attribute of the Epoch Store, and do not know the difference.

But once these five-digit, or even six-digit zombie swarms begin to swallow up human cities in a commanded manner, the cities with Epoch Stores will suffer a bloody reshuffle.

The strong stay, the weak get out!

If you want to survive, you can either show your strength or pay money to ensure your safety, which is also a disguised form of natural selection.

The strong will only become stronger, while the weak will naturally be eliminated.

What Zhang Mu saw in later generations was that those gathering places did indeed do so.

There is no one who has the strength to control the overall situation. They are all evolvers whose personalities have expanded after their strength has skyrocketed. Who will be convinced by whom?

Before the zombie horde arrives, humans themselves will first erupt in a civil strife that will be enough to seriously damage their vitality.

This was a scene that Zhang Mu didn't want to see and he also wanted to avoid.

Only when humans are strong can Zhang Mu become stronger.

Otherwise, would he have to negotiate and trade with the zombies that have developed intelligence, or those mutant beasts?

Zhang Mu would never do such a mutually beneficial thing with the enemy. He is not stupid enough to do that.

level.

When the nest is destroyed, no eggs will remain intact!

No matter how strong a lone ranger is, he cannot be separated from the entire human society. One reason is that the types and quantities of resources he can obtain are limited. Another reason is that he feels deeply lonely.

With so many thoughts in his mind, Zhang Mu tried his best to calm himself down and continued on his journey with full concentration.

There is no point in thinking about it now. He can only speed up the task before this bomb explodes completely. If he can unlock the identity and authority of the primary era agent before that, then his path will become much easier.

He did not tell Yuan Rui and the others the truth that intelligent zombies would definitely appear, because, in their current understanding, the probability of this happening was zero. Zombies were already scary enough, but if they were to be coupled with their only disadvantage, which was intelligence, how would humans have a chance to survive?

But reality is so cruel.

In this era of bliss, the people selected do not necessarily have to be the most powerful indigenous people, that is, humans.

If you are given the same conditions, it depends on yourself whether you will be successful or not.

Therefore, when Zhang Mu was in later generations, he could not imagine how human beings could survive in the cracks without the protection of the Epoch Store.

There is only one destiny for mankind, and that is genocide!

Zhang Mu was not exaggerating; this was already the common idea among all the defeatist people at that time.

Weak humans are doomed to fail!

Human beings without top-level strongmen are doomed to fail, be abandoned, and eventually be exterminated.

Moreover, people with this negative mentality are far more numerous than those who are optimistic and positive, because those who can live to Zhang Mu's era are already the ones who remain after being eliminated.

They are the ones who truly experience the huge gap between life and death.

They didn't believe that the Epoch Store would always complain about humans, even in the minds of Epoch's agents.

What if the spiritual power extracts collected by the Epoch Merchants on Earth reach a certain limit, what if the spiritual power extracts on Earth are all collected.

Then, what is the meaning of the existence of Jiyuan agents? Jiyuan general goods are meant to promote their

Their evolution is a benefit given to them, if the goods in the era area are lost.

Not to mention that humans will lose the protection of the Era Store, even their Era agents will lose everything.

At that time, human beings had become accustomed to hiding in this small world. There were too many people who had no ambition to make progress and just lived a life of eating and waiting to die.

When the Epoch Store leaves and is attacked by a large group of zombies or mutant beasts that have been lurking nearby, what will be the outcome?

Perhaps one day, humans will truly become a rare animal on this earth.

How sad and ridiculous it would be for mutant beasts or zombies to point at humans imprisoned in cages, point fingers at them and show them to their descendants, telling them that these were the overlords of the earth in the past.

Zhang Mu himself is a complete defeatist. He believes that human development is doomed to failure.

But originally he was the negative part of the defeatist. Now after his rebirth, his mentality has changed. Although he still believes that mankind is doomed to fail, he tries to change, from the very beginning.

As soon as Zhang Mu put on that deadpan expression, Yuan Rui didn't dare to disturb him. It should be that the aura released by the second-level obsidian worm and Zhang Mu frightened the other mutant beasts, so along the way, Zhang Mu didn't see any mutant beasts appear in front of them within his sight.

It also gave him time to think about so many things.

As night was about to fall, Zhang Mu finally saw the river that, in his memory, had caused him to lose one of his arms.

But now he had no fear at all. Even if he swam over now, there would be no second-level mutant beasts in the river.

A first-level mutant beast could not pose any threat to Zhang Mu even in a water environment that was favorable to it.

Besides, Zhang Mu now has a cheating artifact, and for the sake of safety, it is also troublesome to get his clothes wet. So Zhang Mu called Xiao Hei and requisitioned its labor, and then he and the mutant wolfhound were carried one by one in each paw, holding them with a little effort, and flew across this wide river, the first natural defense line of the coal city.

The city is right in front of them!

Coal city, Shanxi!
