Mushan returned to the mechanical research lab, where in addition to that S-level miniature mech suit, there were also several sets of 'A-level Golden Steel - Mechanical Inner Armor' stored here as equipment for research.

  A-level Power Armor - Mechanical Inner Shell, possessing an energy impact that can withstand A-level weapons, existing like the former bulletproof vest.

  In the past, firearms had defensive clothing, but in this era of cutting-edge technology, guns have evolved into 'energy' forms, and defensive clothing must also be strengthened. Mechanical inner armor is a type of defensive clothing that has better performance than general defensive clothing.

  Inside mechanical armor, most are A-level, and there are also S-level or higher mechanical armors.

  However, with Mu Xiao's current 'mechanical grasp' ability, he can only temporarily activate the basic defense system of this 'A-level Golden Steel', and cannot fully activate the 'energy shield' to defend.

  If the complete system of 'A-level Golden Steel - Mechanical Inner Armor' can be repaired, it can form a golden steel block in an energy shape to resist some energy attacks. In close combat, it can also condense energy within the inner armor. Once the opponent uses physical attacks, it can offset the opponent's strength. Moreover, the inner armor has a miniature optical brain with automatic detection system and automatic defense system to help the holder fight.

  Mù Xiāo can only temporarily activate the close combat system above, condensing energy within the inner armor, increasing its own physical defense.

  Apart from the A-grade Golden Steel - Mechanical Inner Armor, Mu Xiao also took two 'B-grade High-frequency Electromagnetic Guns/Knives', in addition to his own two 'B-grade Radiation Handguns' and 'A-grade Thunder Fire Cannon'. He also had a backpack with 'C-grade High-explosive Hand Grenades' and several large-capacity S-grade energy blocks, enough to power his weapons and equipment.

  "Repairing is also a hard work." Mu Xiao held a large pile of his own weapons and equipment, with both hands emitting fine lines of light like spider silk, covering the mechanical armor, his brain domain transformed into scanning software to clear out ionic viruses.

  He currently only has a primary level of "mechanical mastery", unable to optimize and modify equipment and weapons, can only do some simple work of clearing surface ionic viruses, and cannot clear internal components without improving his knowledge of mechanics.

  Not long after, Mu Xi eliminated a portion of the mechanical inner armor's ion virus, which activated the mechanical inner armor's basic defense. Moreover, during the process of eliminating the virus, Mu Xi's proficiency in 'mechanical grasp' had significantly improved, increasing his understanding of mechanical abilities.

  In the early stages, all the source of power is only at the 9th level. After reaching the 9th level, one must understand and cultivate the method of practice.

  Among them, repair and transformation are helpful for understanding mechanics.

  Mushishi naturally understood this point very clearly and wasn't overly surprised, instead continuing to repair his other essential weapons.

  Thirty minutes had passed before Mu Shao finally finished repairing his own weapons and equipment.

  A faint golden color, the steel inner armor, like a thick vest, worn on Mu Shao's body, apparently with a somewhat sturdy feeling. But he was afraid of death and added a new set of 'black armor' defensive clothing outside, after all, the previous one had been torn apart by the mutant woman, now changing into a new defensive suit is reasonable.

  Mù Xiāo picked up two high-frequency electromagnetic knives and placed them in the thigh holster, two ray guns were placed in the gun holsters on either side of his waist, re-fastened the thunder cannon's belt behind him, and the previous C-level scorching knife was still left in the backpack as a spare.

  He also carried a food backpack and a hand/grenade backpack, fully armed from head to toe, just like marching into battle.

  "About the same time, I hope my little sheep is still outside. After all, it's a high-end magnetic levitation car and I'm temporarily unable to repair it..." Mu Xiao carried a large pile of equipment on his back, without any signs of fatigue, still moving freely, thinking about what kind of transportation to use to get back.

  However, with this equipment, his combat power has greatly increased, and even if he encounters a mutant again, he can fight calmly.

  Mu Xiao returned to the corridor outside the law firm, originally with a spiritual power detection range of ten meters. After his evolution degree level was upgraded and his physical body broke through, his mental powers had a certain degree of enhancement, including the detection distance and sensitivity. He wouldn't encounter any variant humans at or above three to four levels higher than his evolution degree, yet he still hadn't fully sensed what it was before being ambushed and injured, losing the initiative.

  Spiritual detection, perception and sensation are the abilities to seize the initiative in adverse situations such as danger, unknown circumstances, combat, sudden events, etc.

  Mù Xiāo now has a detection range of about 20 meters, meaning that if something enters this range, he can sense it in the first time.

  There were no signs of any undead creatures along the way, nor were there any variants with strong vitality and extreme auras.

  He went down three floors, and Mu Xiao's spiritual power spread out like ripples in the water, probing each room on the corridor to see if there was any movement inside.

  "Huh?"

  Suddenly, Mu Xiao was stunned for a moment and found that there was something interesting in the room ahead. So he walked over, pulled the door handle, and found that an insurance lock had been added inside. He could have opened the insurance lock directly with his mind, but he didn't do so, instead using force to kick the big door.

  With a loud crash, it burst in violently and directly, simple yet coarse.

  ……

  An Rongru hid under the big bed, quietly turning off her mobile phone, not daring to make a sound. From her own hunger, she roughly guessed that about two days had passed.

  She just came to the law firm to handle some matters and didn't expect to encounter such a shocking scene.

  If it hadn't been for her bodyguard rushing out to seek help before locking the door and securing himself with a safety lock, she would have lost her life in the mouths of those frenzied, inhuman monsters. Those scenes of crazy bloodlust were something she had never seen in her lifetime, and that scene was probably forever unforgettable.

  This sudden and dramatic turn of events made An Rongyu involuntarily think of a movie plot. She prayed that such a thing would not happen, otherwise the whole world would become hell and her own identity and status would be useless. She hoped even more that the bodyguard would find someone to rescue her soon, or else she would starve to death.

  Several times, An Rongyu wanted to answer the phone. However, hearing the miserable cries outside, the hoarse cries for help, and the desolate wails made her blood run cold, a chill of fear enveloped her entire body and mind, afraid that making any sound would bring death.

  An Rongruo was dazed and confused, hungry and sleepy, slept and woke up again, her stomach was empty, not a drop of water had been drunk, her throat was extremely dry.

  At the same time as being fearful, she was even more worried about her daughter at home. Under the weight of anxiety and fear, she was exhausted mentally and physically, and didn't know if she could hold on any longer.

  The quiet environment had a terrifyingly still atmosphere, but suddenly the fourth floor started making noise, startling her and stirring up unease in her heart, also hoping that someone was coming to rescue her.

  A complex mix of anxiety and hope constantly occupied her heart.

  Until then, the noise on the fourth floor gradually subsided, she calmed down, filled with disappointment.

  Almost an hour later, An Rongruo heard a slight sound of opening the door outside, and her disappointed mood was reignited.

  At this moment, there was a loud crash, and the powerful slamming of the door shook the air!

  An Rongru's face changed greatly, a chill rose from her spine, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her heart completely cooled down. If someone came in, her bodyguard would definitely say the password, rather than making such a big commotion by bursting through the door, which undoubtedly reminded her of those terrifying mutant monsters.

  Having thought of this, her pale face, which had been hungry for several days, turned even whiter than paper.

  It wasn't the terrifying scene of being suddenly lifted up by a monster, pouncing on oneself and biting, but rather hearing a calm, cold, and threatening tone.

  ……

  "Sorry, but the lady under the bed, this place has already been occupied by me. If you don't come out, I'll bring in those monsters outside and ask them to help me drive you out." Mu Xiao released his spiritual power, which sensed a living being's reaction outside.

  With this faint yet stable vital sign reaction, he guessed that there was a survivor and confirmed it once before entering, knowing it was a woman. He couldn't believe that the woman could survive in the chaos and hadn't been discovered by zombies for two or three days, breaking in and devouring flesh and blood.

  This building alone has at least two mutants, one of which is a mutant who evolved in the secret room, and the other is the mutant woman who was just killed by Mu Xiao. She can survive within the activity range of two mutants, it's hard not to say that this survivor is really lucky.

  The An Rongyu under the bed did not come out immediately, but asked nervously: "Excuse me, are you human?"

  "Do you think monsters will talk to you?" Mu Xiao asked back, and could also understand that an ordinary person's emotions would be somewhat abnormal under a sudden terrifying blow.

  As a woman, she can still maintain her sanity, which is already quite good.

  "I'm coming out right now." An Rongru's soft and weak voice sounded, with a hint of urgency and joy.

  Mù xiāo quietly watched as a woman in a black and white dress crawled out from under the bed, but he didn't lift a hand to help her up.

  Dai An Rong Ru stood up in front of Mu Xiao, and only then did she carefully take a good look at the beautiful mature woman who seemed to be around 26 or 27 years old, yet also looked like she was around 30.

  She has a gentle and elegant face, with a dignified temperament. However, due to prolonged fasting, her complexion is not very good, and the originally smooth and tender skin has become dry, but without any signs of aging, it can be seen that she usually takes good care of her skin, and her figure is extremely good, mature and plump, with an elegant and noble aura that ordinary people do not have, at a glance, it is clear that she is not an ordinary person, but a rich and noble lady.

  Muxiao used his spiritual power extremely immorally, scanning An Rongruo's body thoroughly and getting a set of data that made his heart beat faster as a man.

  An Rongru wore a conservative yet elegant black and white long-sleeved dress, slightly revealing a small section of her plump and fair legs, wearing an even more sensual pair of white high heels, which made Mu Xiao admire her figure.

  A standard mature beauty like a ripe peach.

  It's extremely shameless to use spiritual power like this. In the past, during the Evolution Era, most of the new human female warriors would be extremely furious, even to the point of being relentless.

  But Mu Xiao, as a normal man, naturally has normal instincts.

  However, this beginning is different from future eras, and Mu Xiao feels more at ease.

  Actually, as long as one becomes a new human being with a certain degree of spiritual power, if someone conducts such naked detection, the person concerned can defend against the other party's spiritual detection, unless the other party has much higher spiritual power and conducts the detection openly and flagrantly, which is already a provocative behavior, and it is completely possible to attack the other party.

  Because sometimes, probing isn't for such a despicable purpose, but to dig out others' 'abilities', and then carry out some malicious attacks.

  "Hello, I'm An Rongru of Jian'an Real Estate. How should I address you?" An Rongru's pale face flushed slightly, adding a touch of alluring weakness. She lacked spirit, but as a woman, she had an acute sense of awareness and was extremely clear that Mu Xiao's attention was focused on her, and just a moment ago, she felt like she had been seen through inside and out by this strange man, and her face involuntarily rose with a light red hue of shyness and annoyance.
