"Uncle, you're finally back!"

"Is it still like yesterday outside?"

"Uncle, are you injured? Let me take a look at you. I've rested for the whole afternoon, and my energy is back. I can heal your injuries again."

After Zhang Mu came back, Yuan Rui touched Zhang Mu all over and found that his clothes had few wrinkles, not to mention bloodstains. Yuan Rui found that the energy she had carefully restored was useless, and her mouth pouted.

"What, you're not injured, uncle? Did you find a place to sleep for the whole afternoon? If not, did you bring back anything good? Hehe."

"Are you kidding me? Are you hoping that I'll get hurt? Of course I have the things. They're all in my bag. Take a look for yourself."

Yuan Rui stuck out her tongue at Zhang Mu, took the backpack from him and threw it directly on the bed. Instead, she was like a little bird, chirping around Zhang Mu and asking questions non-stop. Being called "uncle" by her, he actually felt warm. Zhang Mu suddenly realized that he, who used to be very disgusted with strangers, now had no feeling of rejection at all towards this little girl who cared about him.

What's wrong with me?

You know, in the later generations, Zhang Mu had no one who could move his heart like this. Maybe it was because he had experienced the cruelty of the end of the world too early, or because he had seen too many betrayals and enemies, Zhang Mu's heart had become as hard as a piece of ice. His generosity and carefreeness were just his way of relieving his inner loneliness.

And now, the piece of ice that wrapped around Zhang Mu's heart seemed to slowly melt. He felt that after Yuan Rui's commotion, the end of the world seemed not to have come at all.

"Let me show you my biggest reward today."

Zhang Mu picked up the obsidian hidden in his pocket with two fingers and showed it to Yuan Rui.

"Wow, what a cute little beetle. I didn't expect you to have this hobby."

Seeing the obsidian worm rolling around in Zhang Mu's palm in a cute manner, Yuan Rui's eyes seemed to be full of stars, and she wanted to reach out and touch the obsidian worm.

Just when her fingers were about to touch the carapace of the Obsidian, the Obsidian suddenly turned towards Yuan Rui, its wings vibrating continuously, and rows of small

There was a cold gleam in his teeth, and if it weren't for Zhang Mu's order, he would have wanted to bite off Yuan Rui's finger.

In the flickering light of the white candle, Yuan Rui saw clearly that the obsidian worm was trying to attack her head ferociously. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly retracted her fingers and hid them behind her back. She was about to cry.

Zhang Mu saw the Black Obsidian Worm like this, and he slapped its carapace heavily, saying viciously, "I didn't see you being so majestic when I saw the mutant rats just now. Now you know how to scare a little girl? Bite her and see if you can. Believe it or not, you will have no food to eat in your life.

Hurry up and let the girl touch you."

Hearing Zhang Mu's ferocious threat and thinking that this master might really not give it food, the black worm instantly wilted, lowered its head, flapped its wings weakly, and compromised.

"How come this bug can understand you? Uncle, how are you so powerful?"

Seeing Zhang Mu being so fierce to the little beetle, and it even bent down to cooperate, Yuan Rui, who had tears in her eyes just now, instantly burst into laughter.

For some reason, Zhang Mu felt that Yuan Rui's flattery was very natural. He enjoyed it very much and immediately started to show off.

"Isn't this the beginning of a new era? I told you that any type of evolutionary ability is possible, and my ability is to tame mutants like Xiao Hei. Don't be fooled by its small and cute appearance now. You will definitely be shocked when it grows bigger."

Zhang Mu boasted without thinking, but it was indeed embarrassing that he had no evolutionary ability.

"Is its name Xiao Hei? How could such a cute creature scare me? Uncle, are you kidding me?"

As she spoke, Yuan Rui mustered up her courage again and gently touched the Obsidian's carapace. Seeing that it did not resist, she boldly began to stroke along the lines of the carapace.

The Obsidian Bug was actually very repulsive to strangers and was trembling at first, but when it noticed that Zhang Mu was staring at it and found that Yuan Rui had no ill will towards it, it let go and changed into a comfortable position to enjoy Yuan Rui's massage.

Seeing the obsidian worm's aggressive attitude, Zhang Mu felt inexplicably unhappy.

"Don't worry about this little thing, eat something first."

Yuan Rui touched her deflated stomach and suddenly realized that she was a little hungry. Her face turned red and she began to eat from Zhang Mu's

He took out some food from his backpack and divided it into two portions, but after Zhang Mu waved his hand to indicate that he had already eaten, he began to eat it in small bites.

......The next morning, Zhang Mu learned his lesson and asked Yuan Rui for a bed blanket. He was not as embarrassed as yesterday.

Seeing that Yuan Rui was sleeping soundly this time, Zhang Mu did not make any noise to disturb her. He opened the door by himself, found a very tall building and climbed up nimbly, looking at the Luoyang City at seven o'clock in the morning.

Suddenly, Zhang Mu's eyes narrowed. In his sight, at least three groups of human-like people gathered in different directions. In each group, small people were huddled together and moved forward cautiously.

What is that?

This step, this movement, is human.

Zhang Mu slapped his head and killed almost all the zombies in the area at once. Those survivors who were smart and had been hungry for a day saw that there was no danger now, so they naturally came out to look for food together.

You know, during the three-day debugging period in the future, almost no one could get out of the hiding place.

Did a butterfly effect occur because of me?

However, a small whirlwind caused by a butterfly can cause a tornado. If a major change occurs at the very starting point, how huge a change will it have on future developments?

But Zhang Mu didn't know whether coming out early was a good thing or a bad thing for these people, because he was only clearing the zombies in this area. If they thought that all the zombies in Luoyang City were gone, it would really become a joke.

While chewing on a piece of bread, Zhang Mu quietly watched the survivors break down the store door and snatch food.

He actually wanted to see how many of these people were awakened and evolved people with special abilities like the short and fat man he met yesterday.

He would help those evolvers with great potential if he could. After all, favors are the hardest thing to repay at the end of the world for those who have not lost their nature.

As for ordinary people, Zhang Mu is not yet that aware.

Merchants pursue profits, and in the end times, people like Zhang Mu are considered very good.

In the end times, everyone has to show their value in order to survive.

Under the natural selection that has been magnified countless times, the waste and the weak can only be eliminated step by step and become part of the dust of history.
