At the critical moment, Mu Xiao suddenly switched out her Nian Li to lock down the movements of several zombies, and An Rong Rou was not torn apart by several zombies.

  "What's still waiting there for! Get out of here quickly!"

  Mu Xiao said to An Rongru, "It's still quite strenuous for me to immobilize several zombies with my mental strength. After all, I haven't cultivated my 'mental divine power' at all now, and the source of my mental power naturally has a limit to its strength. It can't last long in restraining the movements of the zombies. If it weren't for swallowing the blood of a mutant person earlier, I would find it difficult to lock down several zombies at once. Moreover, every time the zombies struggle, my mental strength increases greatly, and the energy stored in my body is also rapidly consumed."

  "Oh oh......"

  An Rongru knew it wasn't the time to lament about her remaining life, so she didn't care about her elegant image and hastily scrambled up. As soon as she got up without retreating, Mu Xiao directly fired his gun, killing all the zombies in front of him one by one. The beam of light penetrated through the zombies' heads, and they died without much bloodshed.

  But An Rongru had never seen such a brutal scene before, and her heart was filled with a chill. She couldn't help but think of the bloody scenes from the past two days, and her stomach churned again, unable to vomit, filled with a suffocating pain. Her whole body lost strength, and she weakly moved to lean against the wall, barely able to stand up.

  An Rong's eyes sparkled with a soft and charming light as she looked at Mu Shao, sincerely saying: "Thank you."

  "Now, if you can't stand watching what I'm doing, then don't follow me. You're useless like this." Mu Xiao didn't give her another glance, drew out his military knife and neatly stabbed it into the zombie's heart, cutting open a small hole, quickly scooping out a dark red heart, slicing it open to retrieve a few blood beads.

  An Rongru's gaze towards Mu Xiao was like seeing a perverted demon, her heart filled with shock and disgust, unable to bear looking away. But thinking of Mu Xiao's words, her entire body turned cold, especially after truly feeling the boundless despair earlier, she could no longer look away, enduring the suffocating nausea as she watched Mu Xiao's actions.

  "The last corpse, you dig out the blood bead from its heart." Mu Xiao's face was cold as he handed the military knife over to An Rongru.

  "I...I won't do it." An Rong's beautiful and gentle face was filled with fear, her big eyes welling up with tears as she begged pitifully, "I don't dare...really don't dare...please spare me?"

  "Didn't you say before that you'd do anything for me?" Mu Xiao's face was expressionless as he said, "If you can't even do something this simple and use such a weak reason to refuse me, then what credibility does your promise have? Why should I protect you from leaving?"

  "How can I... How could I..."

  She had a soft appearance, shaking her head constantly, as if the slightly sunken cheeks were getting thinner and thinner. Mu Xiao hardened his heart and said: "As you can see, the world is already a hell, if you can't adapt to the survival mode of this hell, I suggest you commit suicide immediately, don't have any expectations..."

  "Why force me... why force me... it's always been like this, forcing me!"

  Before Mu Shao finished speaking, An Rongru's eyes became empty and struggled, her expression fell into an extreme state, without the gentleness of the past. Suddenly, she grabbed the military knife with one hand, as if she had lost her mind, pounced on a zombie, frantically waving the military knife to stab the zombie's heart, while hysterically crying and shouting: "Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied? You're...

  Splashing black blood stained her skirt, that elegant face became black and spotty, filled with eerie madness.

  "It seems like I've driven you a bit crazy." Mu Xiao furrowed his brow, stepping forward to grab her wrists that wouldn't stop waving about, stopping her frantic movements. Otherwise, if she truly had a mental breakdown in her current state, it would be easy for her to become an Aberrant.

  "Let me go! Didn't you want me to do such perverted things?!" An Rongru struggled violently, being toyed with by Mu Xiao's hands between her legs, she lost her rationality and shouted loudly, as if venting the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time. "You don't want money, isn't it because you want my body?! You like it, take it! I don't care about anything..."

  Bang!

  Mu Xiao showed no mercy, and slapped An Rongru with a loud slap. In an instant, her originally pale face had a red palm print, slightly swollen, but she became as quiet as if she had died.

  "If I wanted your body, I would have taken you by force in the room and wouldn't have had time to play mind games with you!" Mu Xiao said bluntly, then squatted down, pinched An Rongru's pale face, and said fiercely: "I'm a greedy person, and also a practical person. If you're useless, I don't care how good your figure is or how beautiful your appearance is. In my eyes, you're no different from rotten meat left over by zombies, and I wouldn't bother to save you, this burden. But now you have the qualification to be saved by me, which means you have the power to change yourself, and that's what I'm looking for, to use for my own purposes."

  Her eyes gradually regained their luster and gazed at Mu Shao's eyes, filled with complexity and confusion, as well as shyness and anticipation.

  Mu Xiyan's face relaxed, she stood up and said: "I'll only explain once, I have a reason for doing anything, like when I asked you to dig out the heart of the corpse, it was because there are valuable things inside the heart that can strengthen one's body and be used for treatment, not the perverted thing you mentioned. Besides, I didn't mutilate the corpse like you did, it seems you're more perverted."

  In the end, Mu Xiao smiled with a hint of mockery on his face.

  An Rongruo returned to her senses, saw the bloody corpse beside her, her face as white as a dead person, and suddenly turned around to vomit violently, her body trembling constantly.

  The impact sound from the outside gate of the law firm gradually weakened, and Mu Xiao knew that his spiritual power had finally shielded this place, and the zombies outside also lost their attention to this place.

  Mu Xiao used his psychic powers to retrieve all the blood beads, opened a window in one of the rooms, and threw out all the corpses on the floor. He then closed the window again and walked out into the corridor, where he saw An Rongru had already recovered, but was covered in black blood and looked somewhat uncomfortable.

  "Me..." An Rongru thought of making an explanation for her abnormal behavior earlier, but for a moment, she didn't know how to continue.

  Mu Shuo looked at her and understood that some things had to be explained clearly, so as not to leave her with any lingering thoughts.

  Sometimes expectation is a poison! Once shattered, it can be fatal!

  "The earth has lost its order, no one can save us, only ourselves can save ourselves." Mu Xiao looked at her wanting to ask a question, but like a startled rabbit, she didn't dare to speak out her mind. She could also tell what she wanted to ask, so he said: "Don't expect the moon to send someone, the earth has become like this and the moon is not unrelated."

  "Why?" An Rongru couldn't help but feel anxious.

  "Are you familiar with the New Human Plan?" Mu Xiao didn't wait for An Rongru's response and continued to say, "In fact, the New Human Plan is a huge conspiracy aimed at humans on Earth. Those zombies outside, and even more terrifying mutated creatures, are all caused by the New Human Plan. We're just lab rats in a cage, becoming test subjects for those genius monsters and crazy scientists on the moon..."

  Mushuo said roughly the important content and then stopped speaking.

  "It's impossible..." An Rong Yu muttered in despair, as if that last glimmer of hope had also been extinguished.

  "There's nothing impossible, like my ability to petrify zombies just now... You're a worldly person, have you ever seen anyone with abilities like mine?" Mu Xiao floated the military knife beside her with her mind and retrieved it, "Abilities like this are only found in movies."

  Muxiao put the military knife back into his leg holster and said, "Now that I have this special ability, it proves that I am a new human being. And you should also feel that your body has changed in some way, just like the speed at which you ran away earlier. Do you think you could have done that before?"

  An Rongru was reminded by Mu Xiao, and only then did she realize that in a short period of time, she had already run to the deep part of the second-floor corridor. She slightly sensed her body and found that she was indeed different from before, not as weak as before. Although her body was still extremely hungry, it seemed like there was a new change compared to before. Even her senses had become clearer than before, and she could even clearly perceive the subtle flow of air.

  "Then I'm a new human too?" An Rongruo asked with delight, throwing away that sense of despair, having a bit of enlightenment to live on, relying solely on her own strength.

  "If you're not a new human, do you think you have the qualifications to be saved by me?" Mu Xiao didn't want her to become too complacent, so she said: "New humans also have their own strengths and weaknesses, and just now when you were in the most critical moment, you didn't release an attack-type ability. This proves that your innate abilities are not of the attacking type, probably auxiliary. As for what specific ability it is, we'll have to wait until later for you to discover it yourself."

  An Rongru wanted to ask more questions, but Mu Xiao interrupted and said: "As for the matter of evolution, you will naturally understand it as time passes. If necessary, I will also tell you."

  "Uh-huh." An Rongru knew better than to ask more questions and also understood that she still had to rely on this man for now.

  Suddenly, Mu Xiao's expression turned cold and detached, the intense killing aura that had been deeply hidden was suddenly released, like a mighty tidal wave filling the entire corridor. His eyes, devoid of any emotion, looked down at An Rongru who sat on the floor, as if examining whether she was worthy of being his assistant.

  At this moment, An Rongru was filled with a look of horror, not knowing why Mu Xiao had changed so terrifyingly. It was as if a formless mountain was standing in front of her, the heavy feeling almost suffocating, even more terrifying than the zombies from earlier. It was as if that aura lightly pressed down, and she couldn't muster up any will to resist, directly shattering into pieces.

  Death within reach...

  An Rong felt a clear sense of the infinite terror hidden within the man in front of her.

  "I've said it before, I'm a greedy person. Now you tell me, are you willing to dedicate everything to me, including your life?" Mu Xiao's eyes gleamed with a cold and sharp light, as if there was a storm brewing behind him.

  An Rongru's cold sweat flowed down, wanting to say something, but having nothing to say, finally silently lowering her head, as if offering her body and dignity, weakly saying: "I am willing to be your woman."

  "Alright."

  Mushuo faintly replied, dispersing the oppressive atmosphere, but didn't plan on correcting An Rongruo's words.

  Strictly speaking, whether she is a subordinate or a bedfellow, she cannot change the fact that she is Mu Xiao. What's the point of correcting it?

  An Rongru thought she would be very ashamed, but after hearing Mu Xiao's answer, it was as if she had put down her greatest worries and burdens, as if her life had been guaranteed.

  "Is this a sense of security?"

  She muttered to herself.
