Long Qi looked at Zhang Mu with narrowed eyes. He didn't expect Zhang Mu to agree so quickly. He didn't know whether he was just a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger or he had the same idea as him. But it was impossible, because Zhang Mu came all the way here from Luoyang City. Long Qi didn't believe that Zhang Mu was the kind of person who had not seen the cruelty of the end of the world.
He glanced at Zhang Mu with some curiosity and said, "You actually agreed so decisively. Even the evolvers who have tamed mutant beasts in my gathering place hesitated for a long time before communicating. These mutant beasts should be the treasures of people with special abilities like you. If there is any loss, I have not promised you any compensation."
Zhang Mu met his gaze and continued, "I'm helping you with something and you're still asking questions. Actually, I can give you a reason. It's not that complicated. Just think of me as an angry young man. I just want to save more people. And you're planning to retake Jinzhong City because you discovered some problems.
As the number of refugees increases, the living quarters are fine, but the supply of materials is already in crisis. If you don't leave the city, are you going to eat coal cakes?"
Long Qi was not surprised by Zhang Mu's finding out what was on his mind. He answered Zhang Mu, "The space in the future is indeed a problem, but you guessed wrong about the latter point. This is a provincial capital city. The food reserves I found are enough for hundreds of thousands of people to survive for a year. There are only a few people in the gathering place now, including the refugees who have poured in, and the number is only in the five digits. What I am really worried about is the evolution speed of these non-human creatures."
Zhang Mu listened to Long Qi's words and nodded silently. In order to completely dispel Long Qi's doubts, he continued, "In fact, there is one more thing. When I was near Luoyang City before, I also saw mutant beasts gathering together and would not leave beyond a certain range. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Sure enough, there is a strange fruit growing there, which made the strength of me and my mutant beasts improve by leaps and bounds.
When you said that, I thought of the previous situation. It can be regarded as a real reason. As for the safety issue, you don't have to worry about it. I know the strength of my mutant beast very well. "
Is it a rare talent? No wonder, he is different from ordinary first-level evolvers and can withstand his own pressure until now.
Long Qi's doubts were slightly alleviated, and he didn't want to ask more about Zhang Mu.
Everyone has his own secrets. Zhang Mu has said enough. Now that he has agreed to it, it’s fine.
Feeling that it was almost done, Long Qi said no more. He hummed lightly and told Zhang Mu to wait for news, which should be in the next two days. Then he lifted the curtain and strode out of the tent.
When Zhang Mu walked out of the reception tent, he was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He himself did not mention the strength of the second level, but when facing the pressure of the momentum of the second-level Long Qi, he still had a hard time. He relied on his strong psychological quality and his body, which had been strengthened in the first level, to fight hard.
Li Hu asked someone to arrange a residence for Zhang Mu in the camp, which was actually just a large military tent. Zhang Mu had no choice but to accept it with a wry smile.
It seems that Long Qi is still wary of me and keeps me by his side. Of course, on the other hand, it can also be said that he values Zhang Mu and ensures Zhang Mu's safety. After all, the core camp of the gathering place is the place with the most flawless defense in the entire Shanxi City.
Zhang Mu didn't know what Long Qi's awakening ability was, and as the number of evolvers increased, all kinds of strange abilities emerged. He didn't dare to act rashly. If he was discovered and couldn't explain his whereabouts, the Epoch Store might be exposed in advance. Now was not the time yet. He hadn't reached the status of a junior agent and he didn't even have an invisibility cloak. It was better to be safe.
In this way, Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui waited quietly in the camp for two hours. He mentioned to Yuan Rui that Long Qi was trustworthy, so it would be better to leave Hao Hao here to avoid any problems when returning. Moreover, from the current point of view, Shanxi City managed by Long Qi was much safer than that managed by Wang Liang.
But after thinking for a while, Yuan Rui shook her head firmly. She didn't trust Long Qi. Compared with Long Qi, she still felt that Wang Liang, who she had known for a long time, was more reliable. In addition, she was reluctant to separate from Hao Hao so soon. These days, she treated Hao Hao like a younger brother.
Suddenly, a low dog bark was heard outside the tent, breaking the silence of the three people inside.
It was the mutant wolfhound that returned. The height of the tent was just enough for it to stand upright. It squeezed in slowly, then lay in the corner without saying a word, licking its paws, with an expression as if it had lost all hope in life.
Yuan Rui wanted to go up and comfort it, but Zhang Mu stopped her and said, "Let it be quiet for a while. Its intelligence is slowly growing, and it needs to be quiet on its own."
How could Zhang Mu not see what was going on? He must have been rejected by Lei Zi. At this moment, Zhang Mu was furious. Could it be that his mutant wolfhound really couldn't beat the German Shepherd? If he could beat it, he would just force it. How could he imitate humans when mating?
Such a big wolfhound is not as good as Teddy. It can fuck the sky, the earth and the air. Is there anything Teddy dare not fuck? How big is it? How big is the mutant wolfhound?
He slapped his head, feeling upset when he saw the mutant wolfhound's listless appearance. It would not do to continue like this. How would he carry out the mission in Jinzhong City? He was afraid that he would not even be able to enter the outermost zombie defense line. He had just boasted to Long Qi.
No, I still have to solve the problem. I can’t just abandon my dog.
Zhang Mu slowly walked to the mutant wolfhound's head, squatted down, and said coldly, "Are you scared now? Why are you pretending to be a romantic with me?"
The mutant wolfhound whimpered back at him and was about to tell him about his miserable experience, but was interrupted by Zhang Mu shaking his hand.
"Let me tell you, to pick up girls, you still need to rely on your strength. Girls will only come to you if you are outstanding. This principle applies to both humans and dogs.
How about this, there is probably another mission in the next few days, come with me to finish it, and I will give you a bottle of second-level evolution potion. Okay? I don’t believe that you can’t handle a first-level bitch even though you are a second-level one. "
Upon hearing this, the mutant wolfhound's eyes brightened up and it stood up straight, looking at Zhang Mu as if he was looking at a huge bone.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent. It was Li Hu.
"Brother Zhang, the scout mission and brief map assigned to you by the boss have arrived. Please come out for a moment."
Zhang Mu's eyes narrowed, and he took out all the remaining earth-type beast cores from the Epoch Merchant's ring, threw them in front of the mutant wolfhound, and instructed, "Eat these first, don't be too hasty." Then, he walked out of the tent and saw what Li Hu was holding in his hand, and Zhang Mu smiled.
I didn’t expect Long Qi to be so anxious. Let’s set off tomorrow.
Scout, sneaking in and recording data is really exciting!
