"Okay, then I'll go with you. Anyway, I can heal your injuries now. I'm actually very powerful, so I won't bring any trouble to you."

What Zhang Mu didn't expect was that Yuan Rui only thought about it for a short while and then answered him with certainty.

Zhang Mu also found it incredible. Logically speaking, the little girl was traumatized by the zombie attack on the first day. She should be very afraid of the zombies outside. Without knowing that the zombies would be weakened, she actually wanted to follow him out instead of staying in this seemingly safe warehouse.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yuan Rui and asked, "Why, aren't you afraid?"

Yuan Rui naturally kept a smile on her face, and then felt a little shy after being stared at by Zhang Mu for a while. She continued to tease the obsidian worm in her hand and said nonchalantly, "Uncle is very strong, I'm not afraid of him at all, hehe."

After receiving Yuan Rui's reply, Zhang Mu's heart inexplicably calmed down.

He calculated in his mind that he and the Obsidian Bug should be able to handle it, so he smiled at Yuan Rui and said, "Okay, then come with me. Who knows, I, Zhang Mu, may have to rely on you to save my life in the future."

Yuan Rui pretended to flex her arm muscles, looked at him with a smile and replied, "Yes, I am very capable. I will definitely be able to help you, uncle, and I won't be a burden to you."

I really hope I can always see this smile, a smile that comes from simply wanting to smile, a smile without doomsday, without interests, and without the corrosion of darkness, just a pure smile.

Zhang Mu shook his head vigorously to get rid of these thoughts. Beauty needs strength to protect it. If no one holds an umbrella for the flower, it will be destroyed by the storm.

And now, what Zhang Mu lacks most is strength.

He became more eager to set off quickly.

He said to Yuan Rui, "Well, let me think carefully about where we should go next?"

Yuan Rui looked at him with disdain and said, "I thought you had already made up your mind, uncle. It turns out you're still thinking about it. Then you better hurry up. You said you were leaving tomorrow."

Zhang Mu hummed and fell into deep thought. Yuan Rui was also very obedient and did not interrupt him.

In fact, when Zhang Mu was with the Jiyuan merchant, he had already

He had already made up his mind, because he knew for sure that among several nearby cities of similar distance, the purchase price of the Era merchants in Xi'an for the Era goods from Luoyang Peony Rui was the highest among their peers.

However, at his speed, the 400-kilometer journey from Luoyang to Xi'an only required two consecutive days and two nights. If he was worried about any special circumstances in Xi'an and needed to maintain the best condition, it would only take four days. Adding in some other unexpected circumstances, such as the time to avoid large zombie swarms and mutant beasts, six days would be absolutely sufficient.

Therefore, Zhang Mu even wanted to go to other places to trade goods once more within a month before returning to Luoyang. By that time, his task completion rate would definitely far exceed the target.

But now there is a variable in Zhang Mu's plan, that is Yuan Rui. He can work hard without rest, but Yuan Rui certainly can't do that. She is just a medical-type awakened person with special abilities whose physical fitness has not been enhanced in any way. Her physical fitness is similar to that of ordinary people.

This is the case when Zhang Mu lets the black obsidian carry her for half a day and walk for half a day, which may delay the time. In a month, it is estimated that there is only enough time to go back and forth between Luoyang and Xi'an, so there is no need to consider going to other places.

But there are at least ten extra days in a month, and Zhang Mu is thinking about where he should go in these ten days to maximize his benefits.

Then we can only start with the zombies' Yuan Crystals and the mutant beasts' Beast Cores. There will also be Beast Cores of the same level in the mutant beasts' bodies. In later generations, the ratio of humans is generally one to five, one Beast Core and five Yuan Crystals. This is roughly because the difference in the amount of energy is about twice. However, the Beast Core will have corresponding attributes, which is very popular among evolvers compared to the blank Yuan Crystals.

As for the prices from the merchants in Jiyuan, they fluctuate according to their preferences. As long as you are lucky enough, there is a great chance to make a fortune by reselling. Zhang Mu originally made his fortune by doing this.

He first wrote a high-priced blank check to make money out of nothing, and then kept making money from the difference, which allowed this ordinary person without any special powers to accumulate the first original fund to survive in this doomsday.

Mutant beasts usually exist in the suburbs of cities or in the mountains where few people live. Of course, there are also Zergs in the city, such as Zhang Mu's obsidian worm and the group of mutant rats he encountered at the gas station last time, but

These creatures are the lowest level among mutant beasts, and usually live in groups of hundreds or thousands.

Hunting this mutant beast for its core is not only time-consuming and laborious, but an asymmetric information judgment may cost you your life.

A slowly planned plan took shape in Zhang Mu's mind. He was still eliminating uncertain factors one by one, thus slightly adjusting the route.

This road won't work. Some people say that a mutant wolfdog that escaped will evolve to the second level ahead of time here, and will bring a group of mutant country dogs with it. If you really encounter it, you can neither run away nor defeat it.

Change!

I remember that if I go from here, there will be a large group of zombies blocking the road, which is really troublesome.

Forget it, let’s change it.

Yuan Rui looked at Zhang Mu who was thinking quietly with a changeable expression on his face, and did not dare to disturb him. She just held her chin and looked at him.

"Yes, it's OK here!"

Zhang Mu seemed to have suddenly thought of something and slapped his thigh and said.

"Uncle, have you thought of this? You scared me to death, you were so jumpy." Yuan Rui patted her chest and said to Zhang Mu in a bad mood.

Zhang Mu's eyes instantly brightened up again and he shouted excitedly.

“Go to Longmen Grottoes!”

"Grottos are just grottoes. Why are you so excited? You're a local of Luoyang, but you haven't been there yet? Do you have to go now? It's okay if you go there for the first time. The giant Buddha built by Wu Zetian is pretty good, but there's nothing special about other places. If you go there too many times, there's actually nothing good to see there, because the real objects have been severely damaged by human beings. If I go there with my friends, we just take some photos and leave." Yuan Rui looked at him puzzled.

"Of course it's not a trip. You'll know when the time comes. There will be a big surprise waiting for you."

Zhang Mu smiled mysteriously without saying anything, which made Yuan Rui feel annoyed. After questioning him several times, Zhang Mu still refused to say anything, so Yuan Rui ignored him and started playing with the little beetle.

Only Zhang Mu himself knew how big a sensation the memory he suddenly recalled just now caused in Luoyang City at that time.

If he could discover this thing in advance, then his original capital accumulation would be able to reach a height that he had never dared to dream of.
