Night had already begun to fall. When Zhang Mu and his companions entered the village, lights began to be lit in front of the houses. They were very ancient lanterns.

The further they walked into the village, the more lively it became. From time to time, a few children would run by Zhang Mu and his friends, playing and laughing.

The four men who were carrying the rice bags just now ran over first at the man's signal, probably to deliver them to his home, while the man continued to lead Zhang Mu and the others forward slowly.

This village is like a paradise independent of the end of the world.

When the children saw Zhang Mu and his group, they were not afraid at all, even though the mutant wolfhounds were following them closely, as if they had seen it many times before. They also recognized the person who brought Zhang Mu and his group in, and there was only curiosity in their eyes.

One of them who was a bit brave tried to come around from behind and grab the mutant wolfhound's big tail that was hanging on the ground, but was glared at by the wolfhound.

But even so, the child only jumped away when he was startled, and then he started laughing around Zhang Mu and the others again.

"What's your name? What do you do here?"

Zhang Mu looked at the peaceful scene in front of him and became a little alert. He used his mental power to intimidate the villager who brought him here and asked him.

The man was frightened by the mental power, his legs trembled unconsciously, and he couldn't speak clearly. He took a while to answer Zhang Mu's question, but he still stuttered.

"My name is Li Dawei, and I am the village party secretary of Li Village. Later, when we ran out of food, we went to the county town...to the county town to see if we could find any food. Later, we found many adults like you, so we hid there and waited for them."

Zhang Mu raised his eyebrows, and without losing his tone, he shouted, "You didn't lie?"

Li Dawei seemed to be frightened by Zhang Mu's shout and was a little distracted. He replied mechanically and stiffly, "I dare not... I dare not deceive the adults."

Zhang Mu saw that Li Dawei didn't look like he was lying. The micro-expressions on his face looked very real. He had been shocked to the point of being frozen, and he didn't even look away.

But even so, there was still a faint haze in his heart.

Except for that batch of medicinal materials, Li Village has really not been affected at all since the beginning of the new era.

There is still a possibility that there are no zombies, but how could such a dense concentration of natural treasures not attract the arrival of mutant beasts?

It's a bit counterintuitive, but it's just so natural.

Zhang Mu didn't think he was overthinking. There must be something unusual about Li Village.

Let’s continue watching.

Li Dawei asked Zhang Mu timidly, "My Lord, what's wrong? Did I say anything wrong?"

Zhang Mu stared at him for a while, but still didn't find anything wrong. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. You continue to lead the way."

Seeing Zhang Mu's look, Li Dawei seemed to be relieved and said, "Sir, it's getting late now, and it's time for dinner. Why don't you go to my house for a simple meal? I will take you to see another lord in the evening."

The main reason is that the adult is used to being alone, and it is quite far from here, close to the foot of the mountain. "

"Yeah, that's fine."

Zhang Mu nodded and signaled Li Dawei to continue leading the way.

After changing the direction, they soon arrived at Li Dawei's house. It looked no different from other houses in the village. The village party secretary had not made a house for himself.

What kind of privilege? Zhang Mu immediately felt a little favorable towards him.

"Wife, open the door! There is a distinguished guest!"

Li Dawei changed his attitude in front of Zhang Mu just now and started shouting before he even got close to the house.

After a sound of pots and pans, a woman's cursing voice was heard.

"The master is still at the foot of the mountain, where is the distinguished guest? Li Dawei, have you found food? Come back if you don't have food."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the door opened. A woman in her early thirties came out with disheveled hair, an apron on, and a rolling pin in her hand.

Zhang Mu thought secretly in his heart, this woman said there was no food, so the three bags of food should not have been sent back to his house, but were sent somewhere else?

This Li Dawei is okay, he is not as honest as he looks, but this is someone else's family affair and he can't interfere.

Li Dawei hadn't thought of this, but he was afraid that his wife would offend Zhang Mu, so he quickly shouted, "You spendthrift woman, open your eyes and look, these are two new adults, how can you talk to them?"

The woman then looked at Zhang Mu and the others. They were dressed in clean clothes and looked very elegant. Behind them was a big wolfdog as tall as his wall. She immediately confirmed Zhang Mu's identity and her attitude made a 360-degree turn.

She put the rolling pin in her pocket, rubbed her hands on her apron, pushed Li Dawei aside, and said to Zhang Mu with a smile, "Sir, you are a stranger. This must be your first time in our village. Please come in!"

Zhang Mu was a little caught off guard by this sudden enthusiasm, so he pulled Yuan Rui and followed Li Dawei inside.

As soon as the door was closed, the flame in the lantern at the door burned brightly, probably because of the newly added oil, and it swayed slightly in the wind.
