The sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue with white clouds, today has a very good weather. Usually, the sunshine shines on the luxurious villa area, from the outside to the inside, it is full of noble and elegant atmosphere, ordinary people can't even look directly at the beautiful scenery here. But now the villa area only has a dead and desolate atmosphere, as if everything beautiful exterior hides cold darkness beneath.

  Outside the security hall, there was only a pile of iron scraps melted by high temperature. Apparently, the hot motorcycle that had been burning with intense energy last night had melted its body shape into a pile of metal residue. The surrounding dead zombie corpses also disappeared without a trace, probably becoming food in other zombies' stomachs.

  Mu Xiao and An Rongru walked out of the door, An Rongru looked up at the sky with a feeling as if she was in a different world. She thought that overnight, her life had been entrusted to this man whom she had known for not long, if it were the former elegant and noble self, she would never have such an absurd idea, nor would she have met him, perhaps the world had undergone unimaginable changes, all these were natural things, most importantly, there was no resentment towards him in her heart...

  "We'll head back to the green corridor first." Mu Xiao interrupted An Rongru's thoughts, saying: "Yesterday I set up some hand grenades and explosives there, unfortunately they didn't get used, let's see how much we can recover."

  Yesterday, he wanted to use hand grenades to ambush the mutated guard, but underestimated the cunning wisdom of the mutant, so he didn't get a chance to use those hand grenades. Moreover, there were too many mutated monsters roaming around at night, and he couldn't retrieve them in time. If nocturnal mutants stumbled into the trap set up with hand grenades, it's possible that those hand grenades had already been consumed.

  But at night, when the wood was quiet, no explosion sounds were heard nearby, and it is estimated that those hand grenades should still be able to be retrieved.

  An Rongru nodded and followed Mu Xiao in the direction of the greenway, soon they met five or six zombies on the road. Both Mu Xiao and An Rongru had spiritual power to shield their auras, which could completely avoid attracting the attention of those zombies, but Mu Xiao still let An Rongru go solve those few zombies.

  She is about to upgrade to SS-level physique, just a few more times of gene resonance, but in order to resonate with genes, she must kill the variant monsters and absorb the "Evolution Source" to have a new breakthrough in her physique and evolution.

  An Rongru understood the meaning of Mu Xiao, and last night Mu Xiao helped her to condense her will with terror, insisting on her original heart, facing fear... At this time, she was no longer as afraid of the mutant monster as before, showing a calm mood. Although it is impossible to become an extremely calm warrior all at once, as long as she remains calm and composed, that is undoubtedly a kind of growth.

  An Rongru took out the radium gun, carefully aiming at the few zombies in front of her, firing the first beam of radiation, hitting a zombie's arm, piercing a charred hole, but did not cause fatal damage to the zombie, instead attracting the attention of several surrounding zombies.

  "Hiss!"

  A group of extremely ferocious zombies discovered the blood food, and a fierce gale blew up, rushing towards the place where Mu Shao and An Rongru were.

  The undead are two or three times stronger than ordinary people, at least with A-level physique, and their speed is naturally not slow.

  "You use spiritual power to lock onto the target, that way you can increase your hit rate." Mu Xiao stood beside An Rongru, guiding her as she shot at several agile zombies in front of them. "When you fight, try to get used to using your abilities and bring out their special characteristics. As long as you can use them flexibly, whether it's an attacking or supporting ability, that will be a huge help to yourself in battle."

  "Uh, I'll give it a try."

  Perhaps An Rongru was not yet accustomed to using her abilities in combat, and her shooting was not agile or accurate enough. She only managed to accurately kill two zombies' heads, and the rest of the zombies rushed over, leaving no time for her to continue practicing. Mu Xiao had to use his mind control to immobilize the remaining zombies, allowing her to kill them one by one and absorb their evolutionary energy source.

  Several corpses of terrifying zombies lay on the ground, but An Rong Yu still didn't dare to look at them for more than a few seconds, and her heart felt somewhat stifled. Although she had overcome her most basic fear of mutated monsters, she still needed some time to adapt in order to truly face the cruelty of this world.

  Mu Xiao didn't ask much of her, after all, not everyone has a strong will. Moreover, she used to be a noblewoman who lived a luxurious life, and now she has made such a change, which is already a good start, and won't become a vase.

  "You just need more practice." Mu Xiao gently stroked her delicate, pale and plump cheeks to help her shift the bad feeling in her chest.

  "I will." An Rongru felt Mu Xiao's thoughtfulness and her heart warmed up, her cheeks slightly red as she nodded.

  Muxiao used his spiritual power to harvest a few zombies' blood pearls and continued walking in the direction of the green corridor.

  Next, on the way, they didn't encounter any zombies, and Mu Xiao suddenly seemed to be thinking of something.

  "How many people are there in your villa district?" Mu Xiao asked An Rongru beside him.

  "If you count the bodyguards hired by the owners, as well as the security guards and staff in the villa area, there are probably over a thousand people." An Rongru didn't understand why Mu Shao asked about the villa area, so she truthfully replied: "Because the villa area is only available for purchase by members of our club, it's not normally sold to outsiders. So the number of owners is not large, mainly maintenance personnel for the villas and security guards account for half of the population."

  "Hmm." Mu Xiao pondered for a moment, saying: "If what you're saying is true, don't you think there are fewer zombies here than usual? Moreover, the clothes those few zombies were wearing earlier should be your staff uniforms. I haven't seen many zombies wearing security guard clothes before. Where did some of the monsters go?"

  "Will they leave here?" An Rongru frowned, not quite understanding the meaning behind Mu Xiao's words.

  "Except for the variant zombies, ordinary zombies have their own roaming range. As long as there is no external force driving them, it will take a very long time for them to leave their original roaming range." Mu Xiao's words made An Rongru also guess the meaning.

  "Are you saying there are some survivors in the villa district?" An Rongru's face lit up with joy, which proved that her daughter was likely among them.

  "There must be survivors, I think there's even a new breed of humans who have hunted down most of the zombies here and may even rule over this villa district." Mu Xiao didn't want An Rongru to get too excited, sometimes surviving wasn't necessarily a good thing, so he poured some cold water on her enthusiasm, making her prepare for the worst.

  "If there were other new humans here, and they ruled this villa district, and the world had lost order, think about a group of people with superhuman powers, what kind of mentality would they have?" Mu Xiao looked at An Rongru's pale face, understanding that she was aware of the dark side of human nature.

  An Rongruo clearly knew that not everyone was as lucky as she was, having found someone to rely on. The thought of her daughter falling into the hands of those new humans filled her with intense fear and unease.

  Without power, one will only become a plaything for the strong. From ancient times to the present, there is no lack of such examples. Especially in the face of a catastrophic crisis, no one can escape, and only those who obtain power have the qualification to survive. However, power can change a person's fate, but it is also a devil that makes people's ambition expand wildly.

  Order is a huge lock that locks up countless human negative emotions, moral taboos... When the world order collapses, humanity loses the constraint of the lock, and negative emotions become like ferocious beasts in the wilderness, without any moral taboos, only unscrupulous desires are indulged, eventually degenerating into an evil new humanity.

  Mutated monsters are not scary, what's scary is the emergence of a new breed of humans who have mastered the power of evolution...

  They can't repair the world, they have nothing but self-destructive endless desires.

  If those who have not evolved fall into the hands of the evil and abnormal new humans, it will only be another disaster that is even darker and more miserable than death.

  ……

  Mu Xiao did not comfort An Rong Rou, because to survive in this cruel world, one must be mentally prepared to face cruel things and adapt to the positive and negative aspects of everything.

  The forestation of the woods showed no signs of explosion, and Mu Xiao successfully retrieved all the hand grenades. He looked at An Rongru's distracted expression, shook his head, and thought that if her daughter had indeed encountered a group of powerful and evil new humans, even if she hadn't died, it was likely that she wouldn't be able to preserve her chastity either.

  Especially her daughter was once a rich young lady, always high above, dazzling like a noble princess. With such an identity and status, she is very attractive to some ordinary people who usually dare not have extravagant hopes, but now the world rules are reversed, these ordinary people gain power, what can be more thrilling than suppressing a noble woman who used to be unthinkable, more able to vent the deep-seated desires in her heart...

  An Rongru's villa is located in the central area, and it takes at least 15 minutes to walk in. You can imagine how big this high-end villa district is.

  "Is there a less conspicuous path?" Mu Xiao didn't want to take the main road, because if there really were some new humans inside, it would be easy for them to discover him first, especially when friend and foe were not yet clear.

  "I'll lead the way." An Rong understood Mu Xiao's meaning, and with a worried heart for her daughter's safety, she took the lead and walked towards the small path under the city wall.

  The villa area is surrounded by a wall of over ten meters high, with a very high-performance defense system on it. Although it has lost its effect now, the entire villa area is like a small town. If all the unstable factors in the villa area are cleared, it will be an absolutely good place to use as a base.

  "Be mindful of your ability to detect life, and sense whether there is any vital energy around you." Mu Xiao instructed.

  An Rongru responded seriously and released her spiritual power to detect any movements around her.

  Her "Life Detection" detection range is wider than Mu Xi's spiritual power, at least with a range of one hundred meters, and she can also lock onto the opponent's spirit, just like that guardian variant back then. Even if it exceeds one hundred meters, there will still be a faint sense of the other person's existence, but if the distance is too long or the time is too long, the sensing power will weaken further.

  Muxiao and An Rongru had not encountered any mutated monsters on their way, perhaps because they were taking a small path, or it was possible that, as Muxiao had guessed, there was a group of new humans stationed in the villa area, hunting and killing many mutated monsters, thus reducing the chances of encountering them.

  "If there are other new humans in the villa area, then last night when we were fighting with the mutants, making such a big noise, it's possible that someone inside has already been alerted." As soon as Mu Xiao finished speaking, An Rongru stopped in her tracks and quickly retreated back to Mu Xiao's side, telling him that someone had entered her "Life Detection" range.
