♂?，，

  Su Yu saw Zhang Zhongmou become so excited, but instead worried about him. In such a forest, any carelessness could cost his life.

  Qin Jiagu looked at Ma Ziyue walking over and said, "Congratulations, you've reached the third stage."

  Ma Ziyue smiled slightly and nodded at him, then looked at Su Yu and said, "Thank you."

  Su Yu shook her head and said: "Why should I thank you? This is what I have achieved through my own efforts. Now, your current strength is no less than mine. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

  Zhang Zhongmou laughed and said: "I didn't think Su Yu would also make a joke."

  Ma Ziyue glared at Su Yu and said: "Are you making fun of me?"

  Su Yu smiled and said, "Indeed not, the power of that move 'Stellar Light' is quite impressive. Coupled with the evolved 'Iron Net', I really don't have confidence in winning."

  Ma Ziyue smiled and said, "Now it's called 'Tianluo Diewang'."

  Just thinking about the "Heavenly Net" combined with Ma Ziyue's swordsmanship and the power of the "Starlight Sword", Su Yu said that he had no confidence in winning against Ma Ziyue, which wasn't humility.

  Zhang Zhongmou pulled out a cigarette, handed one to Su Yu and Qin Jiagui, and then threw another to Zhao Shichang who was just walking over. He lit one for himself before looking at Qin Jiagui and saying: "Qin Commander is also very formidable, already so powerful at the second stage. I think our group's growth potential is limitless."

  Qin Jiagu may not have liked Zhang Zhongmou, but these words struck a chord in his heart, and he felt quite comfortable listening to them. Of course, on the surface, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "With Su Yu and Ma Zileaf around, what does my little strength count for?"

  Zhao Shichang sighed in envy: "Only at the second stage, and he's already evolved such a powerful skill. I'm so depressed now, why can I only use this bone knife? I don't have any other means of attack."

  "What is meant by 'thick accumulation and thin release' may be that after reaching the third stage, one will obtain an unimaginably terrifying power, but we can't lose confidence."

  Zhao Shichang said, "Lost confidence? How is that possible, haha. Everyone's abilities have their own strengths and weaknesses." He still had full confidence in his own mutant powers.

  As they spoke, they slowly walked to the other side, looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground. The crowd fell silent for a moment, having seen too many corpses and deaths along the way, everyone had become somewhat numb.

  Zhang Zhongmou punched Liu Zheng with a fist, and smiled: "Everyone has passed the test, now we are all partners."

  Liu Zhēn was hit by him and stumbled, almost falling over. Rubbing the sore spot on his face, he said: "Brother, can you please go a bit easier?"

  Xu Ruyun looked at them calmly, lightly pursed her lips and didn't say a word.

  "My name is Zhang Zhongmou, this is Su Yu, that's Qin Jiagui, and this is... uh, no, it's Ma Ziyue, this is Su Yu, and this is Zhao Shichang..." Zhang Zhongmou quickly introduced everyone, leaving only Lei Rui who was lying on the ground unconscious and Ning Yan on the other side unmentioned.

  "They can survive, which means they still have some potential and are worth training. Everyone report your names, from now on we're partners. Of course, if you don't want to follow us, that's up to you." Zhang Zhongmou had an air of superiority, but in fact, for these people who had already spent ten days in this forest, the group that had just arrived was indeed a bunch of rookies.

  With a tone of teaching, Zhang Zhongmou looked at the seven people in front of him, and this feeling was inexplicably refreshing.

  Ma Ziyue was standing next to Su Yu, humming softly: "This big smoker, really knows how to pretend, making it seem like he's the leader of our team."

  Su Yu did not expect her to say something as crude as "pretentious", and she couldn't help but pause for a moment before bursting out laughing.

  It's quite interesting to see a little girl say something like "pretentious".

  Apart from Xu Ruyun and Liu Zheng, the others also reported their names one after another. In such a strange place, they were uneasy in their hearts. Although Zhang Zhongmou was old-fashioned and arrogant, these people did not feel any resentment, but rather thought it was natural.

  After they had introduced themselves, everyone knew that the bald driver was Shi Guozhong and the dark-faced middle-aged uncle who tightly grasped the canvas bag was called Huo Shan.

  That rascal-looking young hooligan introduced himself, saying: "Brothers on the Meng Dao appreciate me, they all call me Xiang Ge, just call me Sheng Xiang Ge..."

  Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed that Zhang Zhongmou and Zhao Shichang were looking at him with unpleasant expressions, which made him involuntarily pause for a moment.

  "Xiang Ge? Hehe......" Zhou Huakang suddenly walked out and looked at him, saying: "I don't know where Xiang Ge is from, but we have to call him Xiang Ge..."

  This rascal youth is a hoodlum, with the surname Zi being quite fierce. Although it seems that Zhou Huakang has some ill intentions, he still says stubbornly: "These are all the favors of our brothers in the past..."

  With a "slap", Zhou Huakang suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the young hooligan's head, causing him to stumble and almost fall over.

  "Xiang Ma's brother, you've arrived here, what are you pretending to be cool about? I'm telling you, do you still want to show off your brotherly love? The one thing I hate the most is this kind of rascal, he should just go die if he wants to, don't keep losing face in front of everyone."

  Zhou Huakang suddenly became furious and scolded loudly.

  Zhang Zhongmou whispered next to Su Yu's ear: "This kid Zhou Huakang must have been beaten by some rascal before, otherwise he wouldn't be like this."

  Su Yu smiled, and Zhang Zhongmou's speculation might still have some truth to it.

  "You bastard!" The young hooligan's eyes turned red with rage, and he charged at Zhou Huakang with clenched fists. It seemed that this thug was quite skilled in fighting.

  Li Dong immediately came out and he had a good relationship with Zhou Huakang, so naturally he wouldn't let Zhou Huakang suffer.

  It turned out that he was overthinking, Zhou Huakang was at least a first-level boundary, and this hooligan could only fight, but he was just a newcomer who had just killed a small Golinbu beast. His fist speed was a joke in Zhou Huakang's eyes, and with one kick, he heavily kicked the young hooligan's chest.

  The rascal let out a muffled grunt and was thrown out with a thud.

  "Bang bang bang ---" Zhou Huakang closely followed by kicking the fallen hooligan youth several times.

  "What the f*** is this? Isn't it Xiang Ge? Get up, such a piece of trash, staying here will only bring disaster, die early and be reborn early!" Zhou Huakang cursed loudly.

  Li Dong said directly: "Kill him, to avoid leaving future troubles." Zhou Huakang had already beaten this thug so severely, if he was given the chance, he would definitely retaliate.

  Xu Ruyun, Liu Zheng and Huo Shan were all brought here with this hooligan youth. Although no one liked the hooligan, seeing Li Dong and Zhou Huakang preparing to kill the hooligan still stirred up a sense of discontent like "the rabbit dies, the fox grieves".

  In fact, this rogue just said one sentence, how could it lead to a disaster that kills lives?

  Qin Jiagu discerned this subtle thought and his heart sank slightly.

  "No, don't kill him..." At this moment, the blonde young woman who was a companion of the hoodlum youth rushed out.

  Qin Jiagui stepped out and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Huakang, that's enough. They haven't done anything wrong for now, stop it."

  Zhou Huakang kicked the hooligan youth again and said, "Remember this, if you dare to cause trouble, I'll kill you next time. Your parents worked hard to raise you, but you don't take the right path to repay them, what are you doing? Can you really make a name for yourself by being a hoodlum? Forget about being brothers or whatever, here, you have to listen to me and behave, or else I'll show you who's boss."

  The hoodlum youth was full of resentment and poison on his face, but he covered it with his hands, hiding it, not daring to let Zhou Huakang see.

  The blonde young woman rushed to his side, her face full of worry.

  Li Dong looked at Qin Jia Gui with some dissatisfaction, he could see that keeping this rogue youth would eventually be a hidden danger, it was better to kill him than keep him.

  Qin Jiagu naturally saw Li Dong's expression and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. This guy only thought about the temporary pleasure, but didn't know that killing a hoodlum youth in this situation would chill the hearts of newcomers like Xu Ruyun and Liu Zheng. Anyway, there were plenty of opportunities on this road, and someone like the hoodlum youth who had only killed a small Golimbu beast was extremely likely to die. Why not let him be killed by a monster's hand? It wouldn't arouse resentment from others either.

  Of course, this idea cannot be spoken out loud in public.

  Although they could also choose to ignore these newcomers or even kill them directly, Qin Jia Gui still hoped to absorb a few new people into the team. After all, there was still enough food to sustain several more people in their current state, and with a few more people, everyone's chances of survival would be greater. Why not? That's why he stopped Zhou Hua Kang from killing this young hooligan.

  Zhang Zhongmou smiled and said: "After all this fuss, I still don't know his name. Do we have to call him Xiang Ge in the future?"

  It was just a sentence "Xiang Ge" that caused so much trouble, the blonde young woman hurriedly said: "His name is Wang Xiang, and my name is Mao Mingzhu." Previously, she had also been very arrogant with the surname Ge, but now she had been scared out of her wits. Zhou Huakang looked like a fierce devil, even her idolized "Xiang Ge" was beaten so badly, she couldn't be tough anymore.

  The last one, who looked very silly and fat, said: "My name is Xie Zhiming, I am a programmer. My family has my father, mother, grandfather and grandmother. My grandparents were born on the same day and are already 80 years old. This time, I rushed back home from afar to celebrate their 80th birthday, but... encountered such a thing." A melancholy expression appeared on Xie Zhiming's chubby face.

  "Rest assured, we will all return. We must make it back in time for Grandfather and Grandmother's birthday celebration."

  Xie Zhiming's simple face revealed a bitter smile, and he muttered: "I hope so."

  Unconsciously, it was already noon. Everyone found a cleaner place to eat. Fortunately, there was plenty of food, and the seven new people also got some food. Wang Xiang ate while staring at Zhou Huakang and Li Dong from afar, with a resentful look flashing in his eyes from time to time, but quickly hid it, afraid of being discovered by them.

  He was beaten by Zhou Huakang until his nose was blue and swollen, although they were not fatal injuries, but for Wang Xiang, the physical pain he suffered was nothing, what was important was that Zhou Huakang humiliated him, hurting his self-esteem.

  As he ate, Zhang Zhongmou gazed at the numerous corpses of strange creatures scattered not far away and suddenly wondered: "I wonder what these monsters usually eat."

  Su Yu said: "The earth spirit eats plant roots and stems, but as for these goblins and zombies, it's not clear."

  Just as he said that, Xu Ruyun suddenly walked up and chose one of the little brothers' corpses, then he spread open his black windbreaker, and everyone was shocked to discover that inside the windbreaker were hung many small knives of various models.

  He pulled out a knife and made an incision in the abdomen of a small corpse on the ground, his movements were extremely skilled, and soon he had opened up the abdomen, then he reached in to feel around, as if studying something.

  Zhang Zhongmou and Qin Jiagui were stunned, looking at each other in dismay. Zhang Zhongmou couldn't help but exclaim: "What is this guy doing?"

  After a while, Xu Ruyun lightly tried the green juice on her hand and walked back.

  "Xu Ruyun, what were you just doing?" Ma Ziyue was also very curious.

  "Autopsy." Xu Ruyun spoke briefly: "No stomach." He pointed to the body of Little Brother Linbu.

  "What, no stomach?" The crowd was stunned, and Zhang Zhongmou couldn't help but exclaim: "No stomach? Don't they eat anything?"

  Xu Ruyun's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he said: "They have the ability to photosynthesize like plants, and their bodies should contain chlorophyll... although... this phenomenon cannot be explained by scientific means."

  Zhao Shichang couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you saying that these small Linbu beasts use photosynthesis like plants to supplement their nutrients? Heaven... how is this possible, directly absorbing solar energy? This is a dream of humanity's, only, I remember reading in a science magazine before that it's impossible, and only plants can do it."

  Xu Ruyun spread out her hands and said, "It can't be explained." Meaning that it couldn't be explained how Little Brother Lin Bu had managed to do it.

  "Ah, I get it now! No wonder these Golems are all green! They're photosynthetic, just like plants! And since they're plants, of course they'd be green all over! Haha!"

  Everyone who heard Wen Er was told by Zhang Zhongmou that it was indeed possible.

  Su Yu interrupted: "Xu Ruyun, what does he do?"

  "The surgeon." Xu Ruyun said calmly.

  Everyone was stunned again, and Su Yu nodded slightly: "No wonder the surgical knife is so skilled." In his heart, he thought of Xu Ruyun cutting off the artery on Da Ge Lin Bu's body.

  Qin Jiagui smiled and said: "Although he is a surgeon, his body is full of surgical knives, which seems quite strange."

  Xu Ruyun smiled calmly and didn't explain any further, his whole body was full of mystery, making Su Yu and others can't help but take a few glances at him.

  This man is like a firefly in the dark night, no matter what environment or crowd he is in, he is always so eye-catching, although he seems to be a quiet person and appears very low-key.

  "Since you're a doctor, can you take a look at her and see what's wrong?" Su Yu hastily pointed to Lei Cui.

  Xu Ruyun nodded, carefully examined Lei Ruixue again, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face. She shook her head finally and said, "Unexplainable phenomenon." A hint of frustration flashed across her face, as if she had never encountered such unexplainable phenomena in her medical career like today.

  Zhao Shichang couldn't help but interrupt: "Forget about Su Yu, even we traditional Chinese doctors can't explain it, what's the point of Western medicine?"

  Zhao Shichang didn't like studying traditional Chinese medicine, but he was from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners after all. At this moment, he ran into Xu Ruyun, the representative of Western medicine, and couldn't help but stir up trouble.

  Xu Ruyun glanced at Zhao Shichang before saying: "Deceiving people with lies, Western medicine is indeed not as good as traditional Chinese medicine."

  "What did you say?" Zhao Shichang suddenly jumped up.
