Did the man in front of me lower himself for his girlfriend?

Zhang Mu immediately felt a little fond of the stranger in front of him. He glanced at Yuan Rui and nodded slightly.

After getting Zhang Mu's permission, Yuan Rui trotted all the way to the girl. In fact, she wanted to go over when she saw the girl fainted just now, but she didn't know what Zhang Mu's attitude was, so she stayed behind Zhang Mu without moving.

Yuan Rui ran to the girl, lifted her up, leaned her on her shoulder, gently opened her lips, and gave her some water.

The girl must have been very thirsty, and she swallowed the water subconsciously, but she still didn't wake up. Yuan Rui frowned, gently pressed her lower back with her hand, and tried to slowly pour the healing energy into her body.

Sure enough, it was the weakness caused by hunger. The energy injected by Yuan Rui slowly restored the lost strength in the girl's body.

Three seconds later, the beautiful girl's long eyelashes trembled, and then she opened her eyes confusedly, looking at the cute girl who appeared in front of her as soon as she opened her eyes.

But suddenly, the girl pushed Yuan Rui away. In Yuan Rui's puzzled gaze, she struggled to stand up, looked around, and called out weakly but firmly, "Zhan Hong, Zhan Hong, where are you?"

Hearing the woman's voice, Zhan Hong immediately turned his head and gathered his last bit of strength to run to the woman.

Seeing Zhan Hong coming, the woman instantly quieted down.

When the two looked at each other, Zhan Hong's icy face melted into tenderness in an instant. He gently patted the woman's back and said slowly, "Alian, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhan Hong then looked at Yuan Rui, who had been helped up by Zhang Mu who had run over at the same time, apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, she's not in a good mental state. Miss, I apologize to you on her behalf."

Zhang Mu's rising anger froze for a moment.

Any mental problems?

As if he saw the confusion in Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui's eyes, he smiled and said, "You must be wondering why I would fall in love with a girl like this."

Zhang Mu did not respond and waited for Zhan Hong to continue.

"Her name is Qin Lian. When she was very young, she was a normal girl. She was very nice to me and laughed with me every day. We depended on each other very much. But then, when she was 20 years old, something bad happened in her family. She couldn't accept it for a while and became what she is now. I have been taking care of her until now."

Even at this moment, Zhan Hong's eyes were full of love and not a trace of boredom when he looked at the girl he called Qin Lian, which moved Yuan Rui so much that her nose twitched.

Yuan Rui quickly waved her hands and said, "It's okay, she didn't use much strength just now, I'm fine."

Zhang Mu casually took out two bags of bread and two cans of porridge from his backpack and handed them to the two of them. Even though Zhan Hong's Adam's apple moved a few times when he saw the food, he still opened the bread bag and cans for Qin Lian first, and watched her wolfing down the food with a doting look on his face, wiping the corners of her mouth with his clean sleeve.

After Qin Lian didn't want to eat anymore, Zhan Hong picked up the remaining half of the bread and stuffed it into his mouth. He smiled awkwardly at Zhang Mu and the others staring at him.

After Zhan Hong recovered, Zhang Mu handed him a bottle of water and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Zhan Hong wiped his mouth and said, "Of course we went back to the city. We originally planned to rush out of the highway, but we didn't expect to be forced to flip over by a car that suddenly rushed out. When we were about to get out of the car, those monsters came, so we have been hiding in the car until now. Fortunately, I asked my friend to modify the car body once, otherwise I really might be left here."

Suddenly, Zhan Hong changed the subject, looked at Zhang Mu with some confusion and said, "From what you said, do you want to cross the highway? I was not far from the toll station originally, so I drove to this location now. If you go further, there will be a lot of monsters like those just now."

Zhang Mu smiled calmly, shrugged and said, "It's okay, I just want to get to the other end of the highway and then go down. I know something and I want to find out."

Zhan Hong was a smart man. He did not ask Zhang Mu what he wanted to find out. Instead, he suddenly realized something. "No wonder. With your strong strength and the big beetle, it should be easy for you to break through the siege of those monsters."

A trace flashed across his face

He hesitated, but then looked at Zhang Mu firmly and said, "I feel that my body is also a little different. Can you help me take a look? Since you can summon that kind of insect, you must know something. Can you tell me?"

"You are also an evolver?"

"Evolver? It does seem like an unknown evolution."

Zhan Hong shook his head and just rolled up his sleeves.

Seeing the changes in Zhan Hong's arm, Zhang Mu's eyes began to become serious. He saw that his small arm began to quickly grow pieces of green scales, covering the entire arm, and flowing light flashed on it.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Mu's heart was already in uproar.

Don't underestimate these small green scales. Zhang Mu knows that in the future it can cover the entire body. When the green color completely turns into gold, it will be a revolutionary transformation.

As if he noticed the change in Zhang Mu's eyes, Zhan Hong quickly put away his scales. He was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly for Zhang Mu's answer.

"I'm not really sure, but I know that from that day on, our bodies have begun to evolve in some unknown direction. I've seen people like you and me before. Everyone's abilities are different, and the forms of expression and power are different. You have to discover the specific functions yourself."

"Thank you. I, Zhan Hong, will remember this favor. You guys continue to move forward. I will take A Lian into the city and find a safe place."

Zhang Mu’s words were very clear, and Zhan Hong understood what he meant at once. He then helped Qin Lian up and was about to say goodbye to Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu handed over a small bag of food without telling Zhan Hong what would happen the next day.

First, if he said too much, he would be exposed, and Zhan Hong would definitely feel something was wrong when he grew up. Second, he believed that Zhan Hong could handle this matter with his ability.

He watched Zhan Hong and the other man supporting each other as they walked towards the toll booth. Suddenly, he felt a sense of danger from their backs.

Zhang Mu was a little puzzled. Could it be that the potential of a Dragon Scale Awakener was really so strong? He even felt a little threatened.

Never mind, they had to keep going. They had already wasted quite a bit of time. If they didn’t hurry up, it would be dark by the time they arrived.
