Chapter 1: 1-10

☆ 1. Chapter 1

Chapter 1

"Open the door! If you have the guts, find me a fool. If you have the guts, open the door. I'm not leaving today. I want to have a good chat with you!"

A man with a baby face stood in front of the dilapidated wooden door and banged on it. After shouting for a long time, no one came. He kicked it directly, and the already trembling wooden door fell to the ground. The man glanced around, his eyes fixed on a woman, and walked over with a sneer.

The fat lady in the yard was shaking with the mallet in her hand. When she saw the man coming in, she couldn't help but take a few steps back. "Yang Shu, I, I am your sister-in-law. Your parents are gone. Your brother and I are your parents. If you dare to hit me..."

"What's wrong with hitting you?" Yang Shu took another big step forward and looked at her coldly. "What about parents? People like you and Yang De are beyond my reach. When we divided the family, we said that you would live your life and I would live mine. Do you think it's your turn to interfere in my marriage? Don't think I don't know. You just fancy the fields I bought. I tell you, not to mention my marriage, even if I die, the fields will be handed over to the village chief, and I have already signed a document. No matter whether it is the fields or the things, you can't get a penny!"

"You..."

Yang Shu snorted coldly. Thinking of what the old lady said to him, the anger that he had suppressed surged up again, and he taunted: "Did you use the betrothal gift to pay off your son's gambling debts? Then just marry Cuifang to him honestly. If I find out that you are doing something behind his back again, I will smash your house, just like three years ago."

Hearing about three years ago, the fat old lady shrank her neck, as if she thought of something, gritted her teeth and rushed over, crying loudly, "Xiao Shu, just help your nephew. If Mr. Li can't see anyone, we're finished. Anyway, you are a boy, your pregnancy mole is light, and you are old. It's the same if you marry a fool. Cuifang is still young."

"Bah! What does my age have to do with you? Don't say that I'm not going to help you. It's better to marry Yang Cuifang. You'll be with a rich man. Your family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. I'm helping you." Yang Shu turned around and left after saying that. He didn't want to stay any longer. He packed his things today and went to the town tomorrow, never to come back. Otherwise, he would feel bad when he saw this family, and he would be sold when he was unaware.

The fat aunt looked at Yang Shu's back with bloodshot eyes. Li Yuanwai and his family couldn't offend him. If Yang Shu left, they would definitely not be able to pay the 40 taels of betrothal gifts...

"Yang Shu! You forced me to do it!"

The back of his head was hit hard, and the sound was a little unclear. Yang Shu turned around, raised his hand and touched it. His hands were full of blood. The fat aunt in front of him was shaking a little. "You..."

The fat aunt raised the club and hit him again. After all, Yang Shu was a young man, and he was slow to react and dodged it. He didn't know what he stepped on. His foot slipped and he felt dizzy. Something was attracting him in the darkness. He could only hear the sound of the wind.

With a thud, the fat lady stared at the well with a blood-stained mallet. She climbed to the mouth of the well with weak legs. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything...

It was so hot...

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Shu barely opened his eyes.

He was a little slow to react when he saw the two suns in the sky. His consciousness gradually recovered. The two suns were still hanging high in the sky. Yang Shu tried to move his body and could still feel his legs and hands.

After slowly sitting up from the ground, Yang Shu gasped for breath and felt like he was being roasted. He was surrounded by half-human-high withered yellow weeds. He reached out and touched the back of his head. There was no blood, but it still hurt.

After a long silence, Yang Shu closed his eyes, and then opened them. A cool breeze hit him. His throat slid a few times, and he rushed to the spring water not far away, buried his whole face in it, and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water before he felt alive again.

The burning sensation on his body was relieved by a lot. Yang Shu had never felt so clearly that the wound on the back of his head was healing quickly, and it was even a little itchy.

As if he remembered something, Yang Shu paused, and after concentrating, he appeared in the weeds again. When he looked up, there were still two big suns, but his body felt much better, without difficulty breathing or heat.

Where is this?

Yang Shu felt panic. If it was really an ordinary forest, why were there two suns? Is this hell? Is he dead?

Dead...

Yang Shu's mood was very complicated. He finally made money with the fairyland that claimed to be a space, and separated from his brother and sister-in-law. He worked hard and saved enough to do some small business in the town. He didn't have a few days of good life, nor did he find a husband who would love him for the rest of his life. He died just like that?

Wait... But if it was hell, why didn't he see the Black and White Impermanence? Wait... But if it was hell, why didn't he see the Black and White Impermanence?

Wait, Yang Shu wiped his face and took a deep breath after waking up from the grief... Huh? There is only one sun left? Could it be that the two suns before were illusions because he was hit on the head?

In the silent weeds, there was a rustling sound. Yang Shu felt the danger and instinctively entered the space. What he didn't know was that not long after he entered the space, the place where he was originally standing was occupied by a group of palm-sized black insects, and all the withered and yellow weeds became emerald green and moved without wind.

I didn't know what it was just now. Yang Shu covered his crazy beating heart and felt like he had survived a disaster.

"Ding Dong! After checking, the host is no longer in the primary plane. Do you need information to explain?"

Hearing this familiar yet strange sweet voice, Yang Shu was stunned, and quickly reacted, "You are... Xiao Qi?"

The voice he heard when he was hit by the star just now only said that this fairyland was called space to farm well and its own name, and then it never appeared again. I didn't expect to hear it again here.

"Thank you for remembering me, may I ask if you need information to explain?"

Yang Shu pursed his lips, "Yes."

"Okay, first of all, welcome the host to the doomsday training camp numbered 4848 Earth X028. May I ask if you want to start the PPT teaching mode?"

Yang Shu: "...Start."

That kick, it should be harmless, right? Just thinking about it, a huge "mirror" appeared, with a water blue spherical object inside, and Xiao Qi said: "This is the appearance of the earth. Considering that the host is an outsider, please don't ask questions to the earthlings at will, otherwise you will be taken away by researchers in white coats for slices."

Slices?

Yang Shu glanced at the "mirror", and there appeared several people wearing white clothes and face towels and holding sharp knives in their hands, cutting a corpse. Well, the heart was taken out, of course it was a corpse.

The picture did not last long and disappeared. Xiao Qi said in a cheerful voice: "This is an interesting world of mid-to-high-level technology, completely different from the plane where the host is..."

Then, Yang Shu fully realized what it meant to be completely different. The moving iron box, the iron box that can contact people, the food and drink are also different. From the beginning to the development and then to the prosperity, the last plague and the sudden emergence of the second sun destroyed everything.

The dazzling information was stuffed in all at once. After it was over, Yang Shu's whole face was pale as if he was fished out of the water.

With slightly trembling hands, he picked a peach, rubbed it on his clothes casually, and took a big bite. After eating a big peach, Yang Shu sorted out his thoughts, "I can't go back?"

"Yeah~"

"You seem very happy." Yang Shu had to associate the inexplicable things that happened to him with this Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi: "Host, you heard it wrong."

"You are very happy."

"Okay, I'm very happy. Host, please try your best to defeat the incomplete forms and collect their crystal cores. By the way, I would like to remind you that the first-level space will automatically disappear after half a year. You can only upgrade to the second level by feeding the crystal cores and working hard to farm."

After digesting the information in Xiao Qi's words, Yang Shu sat on the grass with his back against the peach tree with a cold face. This blocked his way out. He could see clearly what was happening outside on the "mirror". He originally thought that he would live in the space in the future. It would be better to live a lonely life than to go out and be sliced ​​and studied, or to be caught and bitten and become the incomplete monster that Xiao Qi said.

However, if he didn't upgrade, he would definitely not survive in half a year.

Whether he could go back or not was still a question. Now the important thing was to upgrade within the specified time. Judging from Xiao Qi's tone, it would not be able to send him back even if it could. When he was in Daqing Village, except for the beginning, it never spoke again and was far from being active here.

After thinking about it, Yang Shu asked: "Xiao Qi, where are you from?" "

The host does not have enough authority to query, please upgrade and ask again. If the stored energy is not enough, it will fall into sleep again. Please search for the crystal core as soon as possible."

Yang Shu: "..." Is this pretending to be dead?

Regardless of whether it is or not, no matter what Yang Shu said next, there was no response.

After he was about to see the dawn of hope, he inexplicably came to a crazy world. If it was not so dangerous, Yang Shu felt that this world was better than his. If he had money, he could go everywhere, and there were many things that even the emperor of their country would never see in his lifetime. Although he could do nothing except farming, he did not have to be afraid of a foreigner and sacrifice his life.

Feeling sour in his heart, Yang Shu rekindled a glimmer of hope after seeing the golden rice in the fields.

Nothing is impossible. Even if he changed to another place, he, Yang Shu, would prove that he could live well. Anyway, there are no relatives or friends in that world either. From what Xiao Qi said, fists are the most powerful here. After upgrading the space, he can find a mountain valley to live in, do some farming and hunting, and raise a small pet that does not mutate. He can live a good life.

After making such a happy decision, Yang Shu got up and dug out pots and pans from a pile of things, planning to cook something to eat, and then think about how to catch those monsters and dig out the crystal cores.

When I first saw the monsters, it was impossible to say that I was not afraid. The effect of the "mirror" was too good. The scene of the monster eating people seemed to be happening next to me. I could even hear the sound of biting and chewing clearly. After seeing it too much, I became numb. Yang Shu didn't know if he was a freak. Maybe because he was abused a lot since he was a child, he was cold to people, and it was difficult for him to trust and accept the facts.

☆ 2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Scythe, bow and arrow, ready, cuffs and trouser legs tied tightly.

Yang Shu confirmed that everything was fine, and then left the space. At this time, the sun was setting.

The place that was originally full of dead grass became green. After he appeared, he would be hooked from time to time. The movement was very light, and ordinary people could not detect it.

Yang Shu drank the spiritual spring water for three years, and his body was much better than that of ordinary people. He was also extremely sensitive. If he had not expected that the woman who always bullied the weak and feared the strong would hit him on the head with a mallet, he would not have come to this world.

Thinking too much is useless. After being hooked by the green leaves a few times, Yang Shu was not feeling well. He slowly squatted down, and the sickle in his hand reflected a sharp cold light in the sun.

Yang Shu held his breath and looked at the leaves, waiting for an opportunity. The moment the leaves moved away, the man ran out.

In this world, any living thing may mutate - this is a sentence he saw in that PPT teaching. Yang Shu did not think it was a lie, he always cherished his life.

Maybe he didn't have much ability, but Yang Shu was still very confident in escaping, after all, he had practiced for so many years.

A few seconds after he ran out, all the leaves stopped camouflaging and madly entangled and attacked Yang Shu, completely without the harmlessness when withered.

Yang Shu stepped on the ground and jumped up with the force. After seeing the seemingly endless sea of ​​grass, his pupils shrank slightly. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward. When he couldn't hold on any longer, he returned to the space and lay on the ground in a slightly embarrassed state. His clothes were torn into pieces. There were no major injuries, but there were countless minor injuries.

This time when he went out, Yang Shu discovered an important thing - those grasses sucked blood. Judging from the color of the remaining blood, they should not be poisonous. These wounds were nothing to him. He wanted to wipe them with the spiritual spring. As soon as he scooped up a handful of water, many small wounds had healed.

Could it be...he also began to mutate?

Yang Shu was not sure what the truth was. In the next few days, he began to run forward out of the space, and returned to the space to rest when he was desperate. After resting well, he continued to run out. After running for three days, he finally got out of the sea of ​​grass and arrived at a sparse forest. After

entering the forest, the crazy grass calmed down in unison, still moving without wind, luring passers-by, but not daring to get close.

Without the pursuit of those grasses, Yang Shu did not dare to relax. The things in the forest were obviously more terrifying than those grasses, otherwise the grass would not stop so consciously and let go of the prey that was about to be caught.

There was a certain distance between each tree. Yang Shu drew out his sickle. It was not appropriate to use a bow and arrow here. He walked forward slowly for a few steps, and nothing happened. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, the seemingly short distance always reached the end.

Yang Shu frowned and stopped. He found that these trees were moving.

As if to verify something, Yang Shu's mind moved, and an axe appeared in his hand. He chopped down the tree in front of him.

"Ah! It hurts so much!"

Yang Shu's eyes flashed with surprise. This sound was not heard by the ears, but suddenly appeared in his mind. After hesitating for a second, the chopped tree had pulled out all its roots and moved its roots to another place, muttering proudly: "You can't find me this way, right? Humans are all idiots."

The poplar tree, which was watching all this: "..." The

poplar tree walked up to the tree with an expressionless face, "Are you talking?"

The tree was silent for a long time, and suddenly screamed: "Ah! How could this human hear me? He must be tricking me, humans are so cunning."

"No, I didn't trick you, I really heard it."

Then there was a century-long silence, and then continued to scream: "How is it possible... Impossible!"

The poplar tree listened to the repeated impossibilities, picked its ears, and said coldly: "Shut up, or I'll chop you down."

The tree whispered: "You can't kill me, I still have companions."

The answer to it was the poplar tree's sneer, and the axe against the side of the tree, and the tree instantly quieted down.

"Why can't I get out of here?"

The tree seemed to think seriously, "Maybe they are hungry. I saw that they like to keep people here and then attack and eat them at night. Their bodies are all turned into powder."

"Who?"

"Well, it's my friends. Although they don't know me, don't talk to me, and want to devour me, I still think we are friends." The tree's branches and leaves shook, and the tone was cheerful.

Yang Shu thought that this tree had a problem with its brain. These trees wanted to devour it, but it actually thought that those of the same kind were friends. "Take me out."

"I will be beaten." The entire crown of the tree was shaking, and its whole body was rejecting.

Yang Shu snorted coldly and chopped with an axe without mercy. The tree roared again, but did not attack him, but wanted to escape. But Yangshu would not let it run away. Taking advantage of the moment when the tree pulled out its roots, Yangshu grabbed the thickest root and threatened: "If you don't take me with you, I will chop it down."

"Ah! No, no! Meow, you only know how to bully me." After finding that it couldn't get away, the branches all drooped down, and dozens of leaves fell down, looking so pitiful.

Yangshu didn't have time to feel sorry for it. A tree demon... cough, a mutant creature, of course, its own life is more important. Who knows if this guy is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, so he urged: "Hurry!"

"Okay then."

The tree slowly moved to the edge of the forest. Under Yangshu's threat, it walked faster, and kept muttering: "You will definitely be punished for bullying me like this, I am a good tree..."

Yangshu never felt these indifferent words. What's the point of being punished? When those people said to him in front of him that he had killed his biological parents, he didn't feel anything.

I don't know if it's because he was holding the tree in his hand, but the other trees didn't dare to get close to him. They just pulled out their roots and slapped the ground, seeming very dissatisfied.

After leaving the woods, Yangshu let go of his hand, and didn't turn back to hit the tree root with another axe. The tree ran back quickly.

After walking a few steps, his shoulder was poked lightly. Yangshu turned around and saw that the tree was far away. It was the small tree root that poked him. From a distance, he could see how far the tree's roots were. It could actually extend from the woods to here. If the tree wanted to beat him, Yangshu would definitely not be able to beat him, even with an axe.

"Well, there are a lot of ugly humans here, be careful." After saying that, the tree retracted its small roots, and the roots supported its tall body and ran very fast.

Yang Shu looked at the figure running with short legs, and the corners of his lips slightly raised. He whispered, "Thank you." There

are so many ugly people...

After walking a few hundred meters forward, Yang Shu saw several people in ragged clothes and covered in blood wandering aimlessly. Suddenly, as if they smelled some delicious food, they turned around and rushed over with bloody teeth bared.

Yang Shu's excellent eyesight saw that one of them was missing arms and legs, one moved too much and his intestines flowed all over the ground while running, and another had half of his face bitten off, revealing the white bones.

Although the scene was inappropriate, Yang Shu still wanted to laugh. He thought the village Huang Laizi was ugly enough, but he didn't expect there would be uglier ones.

This speed is not fast. It seems to be the first-level incomplete body that Xiao Qi said. Just chop off the head.

The first one who ran over, Yang Shu raised his knife and the head rolled away, and the body fell stiffly to the ground. The ones behind seemed not to see anything and continued to rush forward. The one dragging his intestines had the greatest strength, perhaps because his hands were intact.

Yang Shu swung his sickle again. After dealing with these few, he found himself unexpectedly calm and neat. Yang Shu dug out the crystal cores in the brains of these incomplete bodies. They looked a little small, but better than nothing. After digging, he looked at the cold corpses and pulled the corner of his lip. Maybe he was not a good person. Looking up

, dozens of incomplete bodies rushed over from all directions. Their speed was much faster than the ones he had just seen, and their appearance was not as shabby as those. Yang Shu understood what Shu meant by "a lot". There was a large group behind the dozens. He thought for a second and decisively ran to the house with high walls in the distance. He couldn't enter the space in a pile of monsters. The time in the space was different from that in the outside world. He didn't know how long it would take to wait for those monsters to disperse. What if they didn't want to leave? He didn't want to waste time while he could still run.

His body was better transformed by the spiritual spring, and at the critical moment of his life, Yang Shu's speed was not slower than those incomplete bodies that might be level two.

After running for about an hour, the houses were getting closer and closer. Yang Shu was panting heavily. Suddenly, he heard a voice shouting from upstairs: "Run to the right, the door is over there!"

Right?

Yang Shu hurriedly glanced at the window upstairs. It was a young girl. After a while, he heard the sound of iron scraping across the ground and turned to the right and ran over. Not

long after running, Yang Shu saw a boy of about twelve or thirteen standing by a door that was slightly open and waving at him, "This way!"

Without thinking too much, Yang Shu ran over. The army of corpses behind him was less than two hundred meters away from him, and one even flew up.

After entering the gate, Yang Shu found that there were more than ten strong men at the doors on both sides. After he came in safely, they easily closed and locked the big iron door, as if they had practiced it thousands of times.

"Bang!"

As soon as the door was closed, a loud noise was heard. Everyone covered their mouths to prevent themselves from making any sound, and retreated to the second line of defense as quickly as possible.

Yang Shu didn't understand what they meant, but he still tried not to make any sound and followed the group of people.

After walking for a while, the noise from the gate gradually died down. After entering a house that was as strong as a fortress and locking the door, the middle-aged man in the lead looked at Yang Shu's unusual outfit with complicated eyes.

There was no way. Even though he knew he was a time traveler, Yang Shu appeared in the wilderness. He couldn't find clothes to change into, so he had to wear his own short shirt.

"Where are you from?" The man asked after looking at Yang Shu for a while.

Yang Shu remembered Xiao Qi's time travel tutorial - he didn't know if he remembered or lost his memory.

"When I woke up, I was lying in the weeds, and then I passed by a forest. I saw those monsters when I came out. After that, I couldn't beat them and ran over here, so you took me in." Yang Shu told the main story, but didn't say the important details. He couldn't expose the space, and he didn't want to be sliced ​​and studied.

☆ 3. Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The middle-aged man stared at him with sharp eyes, as if he was thinking about how credible Yang Shu's words were.

"You came out of the Devil's Forest? That's amazing! A lot of people died there. The army sent people to get information, but no one came back." The boy looked at Yang Shu with admiration.

Yang Shu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is that place called the Devil's Forest?"

"Yes..."

The boy wanted to say something, but the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Xiao Li!"

Hearing this, the boy shut up obediently and looked at Yang Shu eagerly.

Yang Shu didn't think it was a big deal. He was an outsider, so he had to be more vigilant. It was good enough that these people opened the door and let him in to take refuge.

"Where are you from?" The middle-aged man couldn't hear Yang Shu's accent, but he was sure that he couldn't be from here. To be able to pass through the Devil's Forest, which was rated as dangerous level three by experts, alone, this person... is not simple.

Yang Shu said frankly, "I don't remember, I only know that my name is Yang Shu."

After staring at each other for a long time, the middle-aged man pursed his lips lightly and said nothing. He originally wanted to ask about the outside world, but now it seems that he has gained nothing.

"This child looks pitiful, and his body is dirty. Nowadays, even trees can walk, so it's not a big deal if they don't remember the past." An old woman half lying on a chair said in a hoarse voice, looking a little weak. The

boy named Xiaoli hurried over and poured a glass of water for him, "Grandma, drink some water."

"Good boy, cough cough..." The old woman took a sip of water from Xiaoli's hand, and her breathing was a little faster than that of an ordinary person.

"Forget it, since you can't remember, then stay. No trouble is allowed here. People with superpowers must go to clean up the surroundings every day, and people without superpowers stay to farm and do things within their ability. No one can eat for free, unless you can support yourself, we will not care. You can take the land at will, but you have to hand over some food every month, one-tenth of the total harvest. Plants grow fast now, and wheat and rice can be harvested once a month. Did you hear it clearly?"

Yang Shu thought for a while and nodded, "Okay."

Seeing that Yang Shu agreed quite readily, the middle-aged man relaxed a little, "My name is Chen Daniu, and I'm the village chief of this village. This is my son Chen Li, and the one who just called you is my daughter Chen Hua. What is your superpower?"

Yang Shu had heard of superpowers, but he didn't have any now. He just relied on spiritual spring water to change his physique. But if he didn't have superpowers, how did he get out of the Devil's Forest? At this time, a sentence appeared in his mind at the right time - a lie requires countless lies to cover up.

Thinking of this, Yang Shu's face suddenly darkened. It was because Xiao Qi had somehow forced that information into his head, and when he thought about it, he would think about other things from time to time.

Chen Daniu thought he didn't want to say it, "Don't be afraid of this. My ability is gold-based, and I can control metal." As he said that, a fruit knife on the table flew up out of thin air and slowly fell down.

"Mine is water-based. Although the condensed water is very little, it will be very useful after the level is upgraded." Chen Li smiled and raised his hand, and there was a pool of clean water in his palm.

Yang Shu frowned slightly and lowered his eyes, thinking about what to say. Finally, he picked up the fruit knife on the table and cut a cut on his palm, and blood flowed out. The people

around him looked at him in astonishment. Some people who didn't have any feelings for the newcomers also looked over, thinking that Yang Shu was mentally ill. However, after a while, the bleeding stopped and the wound seemed to have healed.

"Wash it for me." Yang Shu stretched out his hand in front of Chen Li.

Chen Li quickly poured the water from his palm over, and some more water gathered. After the blood was washed away, everyone saw the intact hand clearly, and their eyes gradually became fanatical. What does it mean that it can heal in such a short time? It means that as long as it is not a fatal blow, even if it is a serious injury, if you can escape, you can survive without medicine. What the world lacks now is medicine.

"You..." Chen Daniu's eyes widened, "You can also heal others?"

Yang Shu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Self-healing should be a bonus. My superpowers may be strength and speed. You just saw me run over from such a long distance and leave those monsters behind. I am also very strong, plus my self-healing ability, so I can get out of the Devil's Forest."

Hearing that he couldn't heal others, Chen Daniu's eyes dimmed a little, and finally waved his hand and said, "Then you will go outside with the superpower team to clean up tomorrow. If you can adapt, stay in the superpower team. If not, come back to help farm."

"Okay."

"Now let Xiaoli take you around and recognize the way. Find a room to live in, and then see if there are any suitable clothes."

Yang Shu thanked him and followed Chen Li. The two left the house. There were several more buildings behind, but they were generally three-story. The tallest one was Chen Daniu's house, which had five floors and could see far away. Chen Hua had notified him on the fourth floor of her own house before.

"The place marked with leaves is a trap, very big. In the past, zombie beasts ran in, so we lured them here. There are many blades inside, and there are bullets around. If you step into it, it will be fired." Chen Li said as he walked: "Brother Yang, you are new here and there are many places you are not familiar with. If you have any questions, you can come to me. I live in the tallest house. If you find an enemy, you can also sound the alarm. It is a long rope in front of each house."

"Enemy?" Yang Shu noticed that Chen Li was not talking about zombie beasts, because he did not specifically mention enemies when he mentioned it before.

Chen Li nodded heavily, "Yes, it is a village 20 kilometers away. Their boss is a bald man. Sometimes he brings a lot of people here. They either go to the Devil Forest or come to steal our food. They are very bad. Brother Yang, if you meet them, you must run away quickly. The country has not sent anyone here during this period, and the army has all withdrawn. Their forces are the most powerful in this area, and they like to kill people."

"Yeah." Yang Shu silently took note of the bald man.

"Brother Yang, have you killed zombies before? Why can't I sense your ability level?" Chen Li didn't think too much, just asked what he thought was strange.

Yang Shu said helplessly: "I don't know, maybe it's because my superpower is special?"

"It's possible."

The two walked around the whole village. Yang Shu wanted to ask why the village was built so solidly. Even if the people here have a sense of crisis, they would not make this place like a fortress. Before he asked, Chen Li told him that the Marshal's eldest daughter-in-law has the power of foresight. They spread the news two months in advance, asking everyone to be vigilant, and they must stockpile food and collect people with powerful superpowers.

Even if they made sufficient preparations, a quarter of the human race still died after the doomsday. The smartest people in the world gathered together and could not postpone or avoid the doomsday. It was okay three months before the doomsday, and the order of mankind was not much messed up.

After the double day of the fourth month, the advantage of humans gradually decreased, and the level of zombies increased very quickly. Some of them even pretended to be humans to hunt. Every time a double day appeared later, the power of the zombies would increase. The last few days were the double day of the sixth month. I don't know what will happen next, and how many ordinary people will become zombies or superpowers.

Chen Li picked a house for him that had not been occupied for a long time. A boy with a limp lived opposite him. He looked about 18 or 19 years old. He came out after hearing the sound and looked at them shyly, asking if he wanted to help clean up.

Yang Shu politely rejected his proposal. Even if there were no brothers in this world, only women and men, he still felt awkward to be alone in a place with a strange man he was not familiar with. He also didn't like people entering his private territory to help him put things away, even if they were kind.

The boy lowered his eyes in disappointment and walked back slowly.

After Chen Li left, he whispered, "Brother Yang, Brother Fei just wants to help. If there is anything he can do, please tell him. He has lived here alone for a long time. His feet are not very good and his hands are not very strong. We are very busy during the day and can't take care of him."

"I just don't like to trouble others. I don't mean to dislike him." Yang Shu didn't know how to tell Chen Li. Men are not allowed to be intimate with each other. Even if people in this world don't have this awareness, Yang Shu's habits of more than ten years can't be changed. "

That's good, Brother Fei is a good person. There is a rope at the door. If there is an accident, just pull it. We will talk about other things after dinner. Some things will be understood slowly in the future." Chen Li scratched his head. There should be nothing he forgot to say, right?

Yang Shu smiled slightly, "Okay."

"Then I'll go to work first. I'll come to help you clean up when I rest at night. Tell me if you need anything."

"Okay, you go first. I'll tell you if there is anything." Yang Shu saw that Chen Li still wanted to nag, so he quickly let him go.

Chen Li repeatedly told him to call him if he needed anything, and then he left. Yang Shu looked back at the dusty house, rolled up his sleeves and started to work. He threw away the things that were no longer useful, and kept the things that were useful but too dirty and washed them first. Basically, everything that was left behind had to be washed, and all the tables, chairs and benches had to be wiped clean. The quilts in the cabinet smelled musty, so they were put outside to dry.

Yang Shu searched his memory and knew that this was called a unit building, a smaller version, so the neighbors lived very close to each other. There were two rooms in the house, and a small kitchen.

Although he had seen faucets and other things before, Yang Shu was still a little unfamiliar with using them. Especially when he just turned on the faucet, because it had not been used for a long time, it suddenly made a sound of pumping water, which scared him and almost took out the sickle from the space. After

adapting, he cleaned the house from top to bottom, and the sun was halfway down. Yang Shu opened the window, and a cold wind blew without warning, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his arms. He frowned and looked outside. Why is it so cold?

Before, he would escape during the day and go back to sleep at night. He didn't know that it was so cold here at night, which was very different from the daytime.

"Knock knock."

Yang Shu remembered Chen Li's instructions and looked through the peephole first. After seeing that it was an acquaintance, he opened the door.

"Brother Yang, it's time to eat. Come with me." Chen Li was already wearing a military green coat. When he saw Yang Shu's thin clothes, he slapped his head and said, "Ah, I forgot to find clothes for Brother Yang. Let's go, let's go find my sister to get a down jacket. It will be even colder soon."

Yang Shu: "...Okay."

☆ 4. Chapter 4

Chapter 4

After finding clothes and pants and taking a bath, Chen Li was stunned when he saw Yang Shu coming out of the bathhouse with disheveled hair. "Brother Yang, you really look like a girl, your hair is so long."

Yang Shu: "..."

Yang Shu stretched out his hand and rubbed Chen Li's head hard for a few times, looking at him with a fake smile, "Who looks like a girl? Huh?"

Chen Li's head was shaken dizzy, so he had to beg for mercy: "I look like a girl, stop shaking, dizzy."

This kid was very thick-skinned, Yang Shu pinched his cheeks again, and smiled: "Let's go eat."

Chen Li rubbed his face and muttered: "Brother Yang, your face is obviously chubby and easy to pinch, but I don't have any flesh on my face."

"Huh?" Yang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, and Chen Li's anus tightened, and he immediately shook his head to indicate that he didn't say anything.

There were only two or three people left in the canteen, and the others had finished eating early and went back to sleep. At night, if you can't turn on the lights, don't turn on the lights. It is becoming more and more difficult to generate electricity, and some people who used to like playing cards have also stopped thinking about it. Living on the edge of food and clothing, how can you still think about entertainment?

"You guys should eat quickly, and go back to sleep after eating." Chen Hua was still shivering in the red down jacket, "Brother Yang, I will bring you a few candles later. This is a month's supply. Don't use it if you can. You can only have it next month after you use it up."

Yang Shu nodded, "Okay."

The food was not very good, mostly vegetables, not much meat, and the rice was a bit hard, like it was half-cooked.

"This rice is getting harder and harder to cook. I don't know if it's because of the double sun a few days ago. The vegetables are also hard to chew. What did those experts say about evolution before? If evolution is possible, why don't they evolve good teeth for us? Yesterday, Li Xiaobao broke his teeth while eating and cried out of breath." Chen Li muttered while eating, missing the days when he had not only soft rice but also snacks to eat.

Yang Shu smiled but didn't respond. After a while, he asked, "Have we been staying in the village all this time?"

"Do you mean leaving? Of course we can. We went out to find medicine two months ago, but the bald man said we had to pay a toll. Without the toll, we wouldn't be allowed to go. And we can only exchange it with weapons and gasoline. As for food, each person needs at least 1,000 kilograms. We have resisted, and several people died, so no one dared to go. Grandma and Sister Xiuxiu both have a fever, and a few others are feeling a little uncomfortable..."

The more Chen Li spoke, the more unhappy he felt. He ate very little. The last chopstick was stuck in the rice bowl and said, "If only my ability wasn't water, but ice, I wouldn't be so weak, and I could help Dad."

After he finished speaking, he drooped his head and sighed heavily.

Yang Shu paused, emptied the food in the bowl, and said after finishing eating: "If you don't improve your level, how do you know that water won't turn into ice?"

"Eh? That makes sense." Chen Li was just excited for a while and then became distressed again, "But I can't go out to clean up the zombies, and I can't improve my level without the crystal core. Others haven't practiced enough on their own, so they can't give it to me." Hearing

this, Yang Shu didn't say anything else. He couldn't give the crystal core he got to Chen Li, nor could he urge a child to go out hunting. He couldn't take the responsibility if something happened. Fortunately, Chen Li also knew the importance of the matter and didn't say anything that made Yang Shu feel embarrassed. After getting the six candles, a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste and three quilts given by Chen Hua, Yang Shu went back. The brother and sister carried the kerosene lamp to see him off to the house before leaving. There was a short candle lit in the aisle, and a person was sitting at the door opposite. It was Li Fei. "Hello." Li Fei smiled at him, "My name is Li Fei." "Yang Shu." After seeing the candles in the hallway, Yang Shu's eyes softened a little, "Thank you, go to bed early." Li Fei's smile got bigger, his eyes sparkled, and he was happy that he could help others. "No, you're welcome, you go in first." After entering the house, Yang Shu put the quilt on the wiped table and washed up in the cold moonlight. He took the quilt back to the room, shook the quilt, took out the sheets from the space and spread them on, and after tidying up, he lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling in a daze. In the past few days, he was running for his life during the day, and when he returned to the space, he cooked, ate, washed, and slept. He didn't have time to think about other things. After suddenly having strength, Yang Shu felt a sense of confusion from the bottom of his heart. He used to think that he would make money by farming, buy a house in a town where no one knew him, open a small shop, marry a beautiful husband who only loved him, have a few children, and when the children grew up, they would go to other places to play... Suddenly he came to a strange world, and he had to beware of those ugly monsters to save his life, and he had to be familiar with the rules of the new world. Even when he came to a crowded village, Yang Shu didn't have a sense of belonging, as if he was empty all of a sudden. After crossing, all his emotions burst out in this dark night, which made him a little breathless. He wanted to resist, but he was powerless to resist. He was so angry that he just wanted to hit people. After an unknown amount of time, Yang Shu pulled the corner of his lip and closed his eyes. He thought, there is nothing wrong with being here. The house and land deeds over there are all in the hands of the village chief. As long as he doesn't give them to that family, it doesn't matter who they give them to. He wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and fell into a deep sleep. Yang Shu was awakened by the heat, which was particularly dry. He opened his eyes and kicked the quilt away. He was too hot to sleep, so he got up and washed up, and continued to dry the quilt, sheets and quilt cover. After doing all this, Yang Shu sat on a chair on the balcony, staring at the woods in the distance, and didn't get up until someone knocked on the door. "Who are you?" Yang Shu found that it was not Chen Li who knocked on the door, so he asked through the door. The man replied, "My name is Jiang Haitian, and I am the leader of the hunting team today." Yang Shu opened the door. The scarred man in front of him looked him up and down for a while and gave him a big pancake, "This is breakfast." "Thank you." Jiang Haitian asked him to bring his weapons and kettle. They would not be back for a while, so he gave him ten minutes to finish his breakfast. He turned the cupboard upside down before finding a small hot water kettle. He filled the faucet with water, finished the hard pancake, and took out the sharp sickle from the room (space). Jiang Haitian, who was sitting on the sofa, twitched his mouth when he saw this. "Yang Shu, right? Your sickle can't kill a level 2 zombie or zombie beast. If you encounter a zombie beast, it can knock the sickle away with one claw." Yang Shu was silent for a while, "I only have this weapon." "Forget it, I'll take you to get a big sickle, made of steel, very hard and sharp." There are many weapons for killing zombies in the village, specially made. The sickle is very similar to the one used by the legendary Western god of death. Cutting the head of a zombie is like cutting tofu. Jiang Haitian didn't think Yang Shu was a bad guy, so it didn't matter if he gave him a sickle. Anyway, there were hundreds of them in the warehouse. "Thank you." After changing weapons, Jiang Haitian took him to the door. There were already ten men standing there, looking very energetic, holding their own weapons in their hands, and a light dagger hanging on their waists. Jiang Haitian also hung one for him, saying it was for life-saving. The clothes were also uniformly long-sleeved, and the shoes were long boots. They might encounter some kind of blood-sucking insects when they walked in the jungle. I heard that there was a companion who didn't encounter zombies, but was sucked dry by several leeches. Jiang Haitian had a good impression of Yang Shu. He told him a lot of things on the way, but he was always calm and seemed to be afraid of nothing. Facing the second-level zombies, as long as you are not afraid and the number is small, you can basically win. Yesterday, Yang Shu said that his superpowers were the improvement of speed and strength, which was not without basis. At least in this village, they have never seen ordinary people who can run faster than second-level zombies. And he also obviously felt that his speed was much faster and his strength was much greater. "This is a new companion, named Yang Shu. His superpowers are... running fast and strong. Well, anyway, we must get along well." Jiang Haitian said a few words casually and asked them to set off.

The group did not go to the Devil's Forest, but to a forest next to it. There were also mutated animals there, but they were not edible by zombies. There were many mutated animals in the depths, which were very difficult to deal with and of high level. They were hunting on the periphery and clearing zombies by the way.

"Don't run around for a while. If you run too far and encounter any danger, we can't take care of you." A man next to Yang Shu said in a low voice.

"Yeah." Yang Shu nodded again, obedient as always.

With an obedient and trouble-free teammate, the group was relieved. No matter how strong the combat power was, as long as they didn't drag their feet and be self-righteous, it didn't matter if there was nothing to gain. There

was movement in the bushes, and the man with the bow and arrow quickly drew out an arrow and aimed it. A gray rabbit jumped up. A layer of sweat oozed from the man's forehead. The rabbit jumped too fast and it was difficult to shoot.

Yang Shu was still wondering why the man didn't shoot, because it would be even more difficult to shoot after the rabbit ran away.

A green light flashed in the bushes, and the vines instantly caught the jumping rabbit, and at the same time an arrow shot the rabbit through.

The two people who cooperated breathed a sigh of relief, and someone quickly picked up the rabbit.

Jiang Haitian patted Yang Shu on the shoulder, "Remember to check if there is any danger around you. You can't relax for a moment in the woods, otherwise it's easy to lose your life. After hunting, you must change places quickly, otherwise the smell of blood will attract zombies or zombie beasts."

"Remember."

After putting the rabbit away, a group of people left quickly, and then shot a pheasant in the same way. But this time they were not so lucky. Before they could collect the prey, a thick python climbed down from the tree and spit out cold tongues at the person below.

Yang Shu was the first to discover the python. When he saw it, the python was almost down, staring straight at the head of the man under the tree.

After only a pause of one second, Yang Shu took the bow and arrow from the person next to him. The man wanted to ask what was wrong, but when he looked up and saw the big python, his whole body stiffened.

With two whooshes, two arrows shot the python's seven inches one after another. The man under the tree reacted to the noise even if he was slow. He looked up and sat down on the ground, eyes wide open and trembling with fear.

The python quickly broke free from the arrow, mainly because its skin was thick and not pierced too much. After being injured, it opened its mouth and roared. The low and hoarse voice made people's hair stand on end.

"Run!" Jiang Haitian roared, and everyone reacted and ran to the periphery.

Chapter 5

A vine wrapped around the man who was lying on the ground and pulled him back, and then he ran for his life, but the python was too fast and the two people fell behind by a long way.

Jiang Haitian heard the sound, gritted his teeth, ran over again, and threw a fireball.

The python tilted its head to avoid the fireball, buying some time for the two people who were running at the end, but it was useless, as they completely angered the python.

Whether it was wind or fire, it didn't hurt the python.

Finding that the captain was lagging behind, everyone had to tighten their weapons. There were one or two strong people in each team, and as a newcomer, no one placed hope on Yang Shu.

Yang Shu pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were dim, and finally he laughed at himself and rushed over with a scythe.

After fighting for a while, someone suddenly shouted, "This is a level 3 mutant beast!"

The ones on the periphery are usually level 1 mutant beasts, at most level 2, and there are very few of them. They didn't expect that they would encounter a level 3 mutant beast today. No wonder the captain's fireballs were useless. Chopping with a knife was like chopping on armor, not shaking it at all... For a moment, despair enveloped everyone's heart.

Yang Shu didn't know what a level 3 mutant beast meant, and he had never experienced the horror of being besieged by a level 3 mutant beast, so after hearing that person's words, he didn't feel anything. For him, who had never fought a mutant beast, level 3 and level 1 were the same.

Yang Shu went around to the abdomen of the python, and before the tail swept over, he chopped it down fiercely with a sickle.

A shrill cry sounded in the woods, and everyone trembled, looking at the python with a big hole in horror.

The seemingly hard sickle had a hole in it, and Yang Shu didn't have time to think about it. Another blow, the sickle was useless, and the part of the python's body was also broken.

Even though it was half broken, the python still opened its mouth and crawled towards Yang Shu who had chopped off its body. It seemed that it was determined to fight to the death.

Jiang Haitian shouted: "It's almost dead, let's keep fighting!"

After that, he condensed a big fireball and threw it into the python's mouth. Several vines trapped the python in place. Yang Shu took the opportunity to stay away from the battlefield. He had no weapons but brute force. If he didn't leave, he would be injured by mistake.

After repeated attacks, the python finally lay on the ground and stopped moving. The group of people who escaped death sat on the ground and gasped.

Jiang Haitian rested for a while, stood up with his legs still trembling, and looked around and said: "Take out the crystal core quickly, and leave quickly. It will be troublesome if the bloody smell attracts zombie beasts."

Everyone helped each other up. Yang Shu took out the python's ice-blue crystal core according to Jiang Haitian's instructions and followed him out of the woods. Everyone's superpowers were exhausted, and they must go back to rest. If they met the enemy again, they would probably die miserably.

Fortunately, the road was calm and there was not even a zombie. After returning to the village, everyone still felt unreal and their hearts were beating fast.

After taking a few breaths, someone said, "Hey, we should have carried the python back just now. It will be enough for several days."

Jiang Haitian glanced at him and laughed and scolded, "Carry it back? You have to be alive to carry it. The bloody smell is so strong. I'm afraid you will be attacked by a group of zombies halfway through."

"Captain, I just said that, hehe." The man scratched his head and smiled.

"By the way, it was really smooth to go out today. Except for encountering a third-level mutant beast, there was no zombie." The man who looked a little gentle frowned after calming down.

Jiang Haitian also felt something was wrong, "Maybe it ran to a farther place?"

The man didn't say anything, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

"Thanks to Xiao Yang today, if it weren't for your two cuts, we would all have to die there. So I'll give you the crystal core. Does anyone have any opinions?" Jiang Haitian glanced around, and everyone waved their hands collectively, indicating that they had no opinions.

Yang Shu did not refuse. He really needed the crystal core now, which was related to his future life.

At this time, in the woods.

Three men and two women were stunned when they saw the python on the ground. One of the bald men gritted his teeth and growled: "Who did this!"

A beautiful woman came forward and patted him on the back, "Brother Qiang, don't be angry, I'll let Da Huang find it for you."

"Humph, if I know who killed my contracted beast, I will definitely cut him into pieces!" Liu Qiang's eyes were bloodshot with anger, and he wished he could find that person right now.

"Besides us, only those people from Dongping Village would come here. Could it be that they did it?" The man with glasses guessed. The

tall man denied it, "It's impossible. There are no such powerful people in Dongping Village. Otherwise, why haven't they come to buy medicine from us for two months?"

"Whether it's true or not, I won't let him go!" Liu Qiang looked cold and stopped looking at the python on the ground.

The woman gave the half-human-high yellow dog behind her a look. The dog happily pounced on the python and bit it. It quickly ate most of it. Its body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. After eating, it was a full circle bigger.

After lunch, the group of people who had rested well planned to go out and hunt some more prey. There were too many people in the village, and many people needed meat. Few chickens and ducks were not mutated. They became mutant beasts, but their meat was harder. If they became zombie beasts, the chickens and ducks in the cage would be ruined, and they were much harder to grow than food.

Yang Shu disappeared after putting the crystal core into the space. It stands to reason that as long as he put something in, he could take it out with a thought, but this time, no matter how he thought about it, it disappeared, including the first-level zombie crystal core he put in.

Could it be absorbed?

Thinking of this, Yang Shu's face was very ugly. The space has autonomy, and can dispose of things in the space without his consent. Is this still his space?

There are many people around, and Yang Shu can't go into the space to find Xiao Qi. He thought about asking him clearly at night.

After everyone had packed up, Chen Hua sounded the alarm upstairs and made a few gestures to them.

Jiang Haitian clenched the hilt of the knife with a sullen face and whispered, "Liu Qiang brought people here."

"Is it him? What is he doing here?"

Yang Shu watched them talking at the side, fearful and hateful, just like the people in his village saw Li Yuanwai, it seems that there are bullies everywhere.

"An Jing, no matter what they want to do, don't panic. We are a group of people who are afraid of what he will do. At worst, we will die together." Jiang Haitian tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. Even rabbits will bite when they are anxious.

This statement was agreed by everyone. Not long after, someone kicked the door hard. Even a second-level zombie could not leave a mark on the door, but this kick seemed to be branded on the door, which was shocking.

"I know you saw it, come out, let's talk it over." The sloppy voice was full of contempt that could not be ignored. That kick had already demonstrated his strength and attitude - use tough measures if he didn't obey.

Village chief Chen Daniu rushed over immediately after hearing the news that Liu Qiang was coming. Jiang Haitian looked at the village chief behind him and asked someone to open the door.

Liu Qiang and his four companions looked at the group of people inside with cold eyes. Behind them stood a big yellow dog that was almost as tall as a person's shoulder. Its pair of dark green eyes stared straight at them, as if it was staring at some delicious food, with greed in its eyes.

Chen Daniu narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Qiang, and asked in a calm tone: "What does this mean?"

"What do you mean? Ha!" Liu Qiang seemed to have heard a funny joke, "Do you need me to tell you what you did?"

Chen Daniu looked at Jiang Haitian, who shook his head in confusion.

"Oh, you forgot what you just did? You have a really good memory." The woman in the red dress leaning against Liu Qiang smiled coquettishly, "You killed Brother Qiang's pet, a level 3 black python, and even took away the crystal core. You still say you don't remember? Da Huang has a very keen sense of smell, even the slightest smell can't escape its nose, you don't need to quibble."

The tall man smashed the big hammer in his hand on the ground, making a big hole, which made the villagers of Dongping Village jump. "Hand over the person and the crystal core, otherwise... Humph!"

Chen Daniu naturally heard about the encounter with a level 3 black python in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be Liu Qiang's pet, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"No one dared to admit it? Ha, why didn't you consider whether it would cause trouble when you killed it? We worked hard to help you clean up the zombies around, and let Xiao Hei go to the woods to have a bite, but we didn't expect that he would never come back. You murderers don't dare to admit it." The woman in the red dress said in a sad tone, but there was a malicious smile on her face.

Chen Li was dissatisfied and said, "How can you be so kind? You don't take care of your own pets, and blame others when they die. Who knows that it is your pet? There is no word "pet" written on its head. What's the problem with killing it?"

"Xiao Li!" Chen Hua pulled her brother anxiously. Chen Li seemed to realize something and shrank his neck.

"Oh? So you admit it?" The red skirt woman said in a grim tone.

The big yellow dog growled and took a step forward excitedly.

Liu Qiang glanced at the big yellow dog lightly, and the pressure of a third-level superpower was released. He said coldly: "Hand over the crystal core and the murderer, or they will be killed."

The people who were close to him resisted the urge to kneel down and looked at each other. At the same time, several people looked at Yang Shu.

Yang Shu suddenly felt a pressure, but it was just a little heavier, not to the point where he couldn't bear it. Thinking that it was probably Liu Qiang's superpower, he didn't say anything. He noticed that several people's eyes were on him. Thinking about Liu Qiang's words, he was afraid that this matter would not end well.

The man who was almost bitten off the head by a python under the tree before said, "We were in the forest at that time, and the black python wanted to kill me. Didn't it forbid us to fight back? It died during the counterattack, and you were not there

. We thought it was wild, so of course we had to take the crystal core away." Jiang Haitian also nodded, "Yes, it was wrong for us to kill your pet, but you didn't take good care of it. The black python attacked us, so it must fight back."

The woman in the red skirt sneered, "You also said that we were not there. Xiao Hei has always been very docile, otherwise, how could you hunt a third-level mutant beast at will

? To put it bluntly, you just covet Xiao Hei's crystal core." "Why are you talking so much nonsense? What I say is what I say, and whoever has the bigger fist will listen to him. Have you guys discussed it? If no one comes out after I count to ten..." Liu Qiang glanced at them coldly, his eyes stopped on Yang Shu, "Da Huang, these people are all your snacks."

Chapter 6

The big yellow dog roared excitedly, and the timid child hugged the adult's leg and cried softly.

Liu Qiang picked his ears and began to count carelessly: "One."

"What should I do?" Chen Li looked at his father. It would only take some time to kill the big yellow dog and Liu Qiang and his men.

There are only twenty-one superpowers in Dongping Village, fifteen of which are level one superpowers, and the remaining six are level two. If there is no big yellow dog, they can still fight, but...

"Five...six..."

The woman in the red skirt smiled, "Make a decision quickly."

"Seven."

The big yellow dog stared at the group of people with saliva, and his claws dug the ground unconsciously.

"Eight."

"I said! It was Yang Shu, he killed the black python with a sickle, and the crystal core is also with him." A short and thin man shouted unbearably, he didn't want to die for someone he just met.

Jiang Haitian was stunned, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing. Obviously, he thought so too, but when he encountered the black python, Yang Shu did not run away, so he could not say those words. Now that he heard someone say it, he was relieved.

"Yang Shu?" Liu Qiang narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction that person pointed. "Did you kill him?"

Yang Shu took a step forward, neither sad nor happy. He had guessed that this would be the result. He was just thinking about how to leave here alive without exposing the space. "Well, I cut it."

"Brother Yang..." Chen Li's mouth was covered by Chen Hua's hand. The siblings looked at the ground in silence.

"Heh." Liu Qiang smiled after looking at him. "Are you also a superpower?"

"Is it related to you?" Yang Shu asked calmly.

The smile on Liu Qiang's face gradually disappeared. "Where is the crystal core?"

"Absorbed." It disappeared after being thrown into the space. Yang Shu felt wronged, but he didn't say anything. He had to take the blame for the thing he bound himself. As for the disobedient guy, he would deal with it after this incident.

Liu Qiang's eyes were very complicated. He didn't know what level Yang Shu's superpower was. It might be higher than his. But when he thought of the other scars on the black python, he calmed down again. If this person was really stronger than him, how could he need help from others? In the final analysis, it was just good luck, or maybe he was just stronger.

"I thought of an interesting game. Let's do this. You race with Da Huang. If you can survive from its mouth, I won't pursue it. The premise is... others are not allowed to help." Liu Qiang didn't really have any feelings for the black python. He was just very upset that someone dared to touch his things. If he was upset, then others wouldn't be happy either.

Killing this person is nothing. Give him hope and then make him despair, play with him and then kill him. Isn't it fun?

Yang Shu looked at the group of people behind him. No one said anything, and he didn't feel anything. "Okay. But I have a request."

"You dare to make a request?" Liu Qiang was not angry. Instead, he showed a little excitement. He hadn't met such an interesting person for a long time. He could have a good time.

"Starting from the same starting line."

Liu Qiang raised his eyebrows slightly. "Okay, I can let you run for five minutes first. How about that?"

"Thank you." Yang Shu walked towards the door.

The big yellow dog wanted to pounce directly after smelling his scent, if Liu Qiang hadn't been there.

"It seems that Da Huang likes you very much." Liu Qiang looked at him silently for a while and sneered. Yang

Shu glanced at the big yellow dog, "Can we start?"

"Anytime..."

Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and Liu Qiang's mouth twitched slightly. He looked at Yang Shu coldly, who was running towards the Devil's Forest with a gust of sand. That speed... was definitely not something an ordinary person should have.

The figure of the man was getting smaller and smaller. Liu Qiang snorted, and the big yellow dog chased after him.

"You are cheating. We agreed to run for five minutes first." Chen Li desperately pulled Chen Hua's hand away and glared at Liu Qiang angrily.

The woman in the red dress giggled and said, "Little brother, you are too naive. Do you believe everything others say? So cute."

Chen Li was shaking with anger, but he could do nothing but hope that Yang Shu could escape the big yellow dog's mouth. With

his heart beating fast, Yang Shu gritted his teeth and rushed forward. Even if there was a group of zombies over there, as long as he entered the range of the Devil's Forest, everything would not be a problem.

The smelly wind blew behind him, and Yang Shu didn't dare to look back. After getting closer and closer to the zombies, Yang Shu turned a corner and saw many zombies rushing towards the big yellow dog. He guessed correctly, whether it was mutant beasts or humans, they were all on the zombies' menu. It was true that the big yellow dog had high combat power, but its IQ was not good. If it was besieged and injured, it would definitely turn into a zombie. His

breathing became more and more rapid. Yang Shu took out a sickle from the space and chopped off the heads of two zombies quickly and accurately. After a long time, he saw the Devil's Forest close at hand, but the zombies completely ignored the threats in the forest and insisted on chasing him.

His arm was grabbed, and Yang Shu clearly heard the sound of the cloth breaking. Before the pain spread throughout his body, he moved his mind and disappeared on the spot.

The zombies who suddenly lost their target drooled and looked dazed. After searching for a few times on the spot, they slowly dispersed.

The besieged big yellow dog was not so lucky. Under the bite of the zombies, its body gradually stiffened, and finally all the zombies lost interest in it. The dark green eyes turned gray, and after sniffing several times, it walked away slowly.

After entering the space, Yang Shu touched his back and found a hand full of black blood. He scooped up spring water and poured it down, grimacing in pain, as if he was corroded. He

poured water one ladle after another until the pain was gone, and then Yang Shu collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, not wanting to move a finger.

His back felt a little cold, and after Yang Shu recovered a little, he sat up and took a deep breath, "Xiao Qi, come out, don't make me say it again."

The space was quiet for a while, and then Xiao Qi's voice appeared: "Excuse me, host, what can I do for you?" If

you listen carefully, you can hear that this voice has a bit more flattering meaning than before.

"Why didn't you tell me when you absorbed the crystal core?" Yang Shu's tone was terrifyingly calm.

Xiao Qi replied after a long while: "In order to maintain the normal operation of the space, it will automatically absorb the crystal core when the energy is insufficient."

"Don't give me that. You must ask me in the future and I can only absorb it if I agree. Otherwise, the cooperation will end and you will fend for yourself. I mean what I say."

Although giving the crystal core to Liu Qiang may not necessarily let him go, he doesn't like this kind of accident, which feels a bit like being betrayed.

Xiao Qi and his spiritual power are connected, and he knows that Yang Shu is not joking with it, so he can only agree. After following Yang Shu for three years, it knows very well what kind of personality the host is. It was excited before and didn't think too much, but now it thinks about it and is afraid. Once Yang Shu is sure that it is a betrayal, it will definitely abandon it without mercy.

After making his attitude clear, Yang Shu looked at the golden rice fields and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. Back to the starting point, he still doesn't fit in, and he also sees a fact clearly. He can't blame the people of Dongping Village, but he can't blame himself, because he is very weak, so what happened today happened. If it weren't for the spring water that can detoxify the corpse, he would have become one of the zombies now. If he was strong enough, let alone Liu Qiang, even if there were ten or eight of them, it wouldn't be a problem. The fundamental reason was that he was too weak.

Yang Shu didn't like this feeling. He had to be careful and look at other people's attitudes to live. Now that he was back, he would stay here and wait until he was strong enough before going out.

"What is my superpower?" Yang Shu didn't ask if he had superpowers, but directly asked what superpowers he had. His body had changed so much. After traveling through time and experiencing the information explosion, he felt that it was not strange to have superpowers. After all, this was a world where anything could happen.

Perhaps he felt a little guilty about what he had done before, so this time Xiao Qi quickly answered his question: "Strong self-healing ability. After training to level three, the host's strength will reach the effect of punching a level four superpower user into a meat pie. It has the speed of the wind, and may surpass the wind in the later stage. The body will be extremely strong."

Yang Shu paused, "What level is it now?"

"Level one." After seeing Yang Shu was silent, Xiao Qi hurriedly said: "I will definitely upgrade, come on."

"Why can't other superpower users see my level?"

Xiao Qi: "They are semi-perfect bodies, and the host is a complete body."

"What's the difference?" The people outside called those monsters zombies, but Xiao Qi was talking about incomplete bodies. Superpowers are called semi-perfect bodies, and Yang Shu sounded a little confused.

"A semi-perfect body needs to continuously strengthen itself and can only be called a complete body after reaching level 5. Usually, it will die during the transformation process, and the success rate is 35%. The complete body is different. As long as there is a crystal core, it can be upgraded. The general complete body needs to worry about the impurities in the crystal core. The host has the spiritual spring, so there is no need to worry. The first level of the complete body is equivalent to the second level of the semi-perfect body and the third level of the incomplete body."

Yang Shu digested the information and suddenly remembered something, "What do you mean by the 4848 Earth Training Camp?"

"The host will know about the assessment of the advanced plane in the future. Please work hard to upgrade."

It is really hard to understand if you ask too many questions. Yang Shu didn't think too much and just said: "How to upgrade?"

"Absorb the crystal core, practice kung fu well, and work hard to farm."

A huge amount of information drilled into his mind. Yang Shu pressed his forehead with a headache. It took a long time to recover. There was a new practice method in his mind, including breathing and basic skills.

Yang Shu tried breathing, closed his eyes, sank his qi into his dantian, concentrated his attention, felt the path of energy in his body, and found his own "core".

His breathing slowed down. Following the path of the energy, Yang Shu "saw" a small light spot, pure white, emitting a faint glow.

Yang Shu opened his eyes and raised his hand to cover his chest. His core... was actually in his heart.

Never mind, he would worry about this problem later. The most important thing now was to become stronger.

Slowing down the time of the space by five times, Yang Shu practiced breathing like crazy. All around him were pure green light spots that could be absorbed. He just watched the core of his heart solidify little by little. It was unknown how long it took before he opened his eyes again.

Yang Shu shook his hand and clearly felt the increase in his strength. The next step was footwork. The moves he used to beat people would definitely not work on zombies. The dragon-like footwork combined with his speed would make it easier to succeed. Yang Shu was never a particularly smart person. If he couldn't do it the first time, he would practice the second, third, fourth...

He practiced hundreds of times before learning the first section, but Yang Shu was already very satisfied.

Chapter 7

: One month in the space, only six days in the outside world. Yang Shu remembered that a teacher in the PPT said that theory can only work if it is combined with practice.

There was no grass on the land, and not far away was an even more desolate forest. A big banyan tree was very conspicuous, and there were traces of being cut on the trunk.

Yang Shu took a sharp axe and chopped it in one direction. A zombie with a gray face and a stiff body fell heavily to the ground. A big gap appeared on the neck that was chopped. The head was shaking and lying on the ground, roaring at him.

The axe fell again, and the zombie stopped moving. Yang Shu dug out a crystal core with an expressionless face. It looked like a secondary crystal core, but the color was a little gray. The crystal core of a zombie is usually milky white. If it has other colors, it means it has superpowers.

Yang Shu just took action because he instinctively felt that there was danger, and he didn't see the zombie. So, is the superpower of this zombie hiding? It can chop the neck. The zombie was not far away from him at that time. If its hiding ability was stronger, it is not certain who will live and who will die.

After the sixth double sun, the zombies' abilities generally improved by a level. Even in places like this where there is not much "food", mutant zombies can appear. I can't imagine what other places will be like.

Yang Shu watched for a while and walked towards the Devil's Forest. After he entered the range of the Devil's Forest, some branches quietly followed him. Yang Shu pretended not to see it and continued to walk towards his destination.

After standing in front of the big banyan tree, Yang Shu raised his hand and touched the part that he had cut a few days ago. There was no response. The tree was like dead, and the branches and leaves did not move. This tree was much bigger than what he saw before he left.

The clear spring water flowed along the trunk into the cut place. The branches trembled violently, and the noisy voice appeared again: "Oh! Delicious! Another bite, another bite."

Yang Shu silently raised the axe. If the big banyan tree had an expression, it must be a horrified face now.

"Ah! It's you again, human, 嘤嘤嘤, don't hit me." The branches shook and leaves fell all over the ground.

"I won't hit you, I want to discuss something with you." Yang Shu said, but he didn't put down the axe.

The big banyan tree was silent for a long time, and asked cautiously: "Can you refuse?"

Yang Shu held the axe against the trunk, "No."

Big banyan tree: "QAQ"

"It's very simple, you will be my tree from now on, we are good friends, you are responsible for protecting me, I will live with you, and give you the spring water you just drank every day, how about it?" Yang Shu leaned against the trunk and smiled.

After a long time, the big banyan tree's tone was quite lost, "Do you want to devour me too?"

"Huh?"

"My friends all want to."

Yang Shu pressed his forehead and coaxed: "I'm different from them, dear, if they bully you in the future, I will help you beat them, how about it?"

"But they don't dare to bully me anymore, I just swallowed them underneath." The big banyan tree was full of pride.

Yangshu: "... really amazing."

The leaves trembled for a while, but Yangshu didn't hear any response. He slapped the trunk with the axe, "Have you thought about what I said?"

"That..." The banyan tree said shyly, "When I'm your tree, will you only like me?"

Yangshu's mouth twitched. In the words of the people here, it is a tree with a girlish heart. "Well, if you are obedient, I will only like you and give you delicious water every day." "Okay ~ I like you." The roots of the banyan tree twisted into a big heart. Yangshu's eyes softened a lot, and spring water emerged from his fingertips, flowing continuously to the roots of the banyan tree. After stopping, Yangshu told it: "This is today's share.

I will give you this much every day in the future. In addition, my name is Yangshu." "I don't have a name. Humans call me the banyan tree. You can call me Dada, Rongrong or Shushu." If it weren't for the fact that the banyan tree was easy to coax and had strong fighting power, Yangshu would have given it an axe long ago. However, if you think about it carefully, it's pretty cute. With the banyan tree, at least the days to come won't be too lonely. "Rongrong." "Like~~Yangyang~" All the branches and leaves of the big banyan tree were waving, and the sound was drawn out into a somewhat strange tune, "I~like~" Yangshu's face was a little ugly. He finally understood why a group of trees were willing to die to devour him. It was too noisy. This sound was simply a powerful weapon, which was very destructive to the ears. Rubbing his ears, Yangshu patted the big banyan tree, "Come with me to find a tree, I want to build a house." The big banyan tree twisted and twisted, and the roots clamped him and put him on its branches, "Yangyang, you can live on me." "There is no shelter from the wind and rain here, and a little thunder will kill me." Yangshu sat on the branch and looked into the distance. The scenery was desolate, and it was completely different from the village opposite. "Okay then." Yangshu touched the rough trunk, "Good boy." A few tender new leaves rubbed Yangshu's cheeks, "I like Yangyang the most~" Before the big banyan tree started singing again, Yangshu interrupted it: "Let's go to the forest over there and pull some trees back." "Okay." The big banyan tree pulled out its roots and walked towards the forest in the west, humming a strange tune along the way. Yangshu endured and endured. He had found a partner, so he had to continue to endure even if he couldn't bear it. The forest in the west is the same as the one that Dongping Village often goes to, but it is very far away. Yangshu found a few trees and took out an axe to chop them. These trees have more or less mutated, growing tall and big, but they have no consciousness and no devouring instinct. If there were, the forest here would become like the forest where the big banyan tree is, with only a few trees sparsely scattered, and only thirty or forty trees left. With the big banyan tree there, Yangshu was not attacked. Some of the ignorant ones came over and were directly killed by the big banyan tree while shouting no, no. He also asked the big banyan tree to catch two pheasants. There was only bacon in the space. He hadn't eaten fresh meat for a long time. If he finished eating the bacon, if something happened and he had to stay in the space, he could only eat vegetables, fruits and rice. Cutting trees is mainly to train strength. No matter how big they grow, they are just ordinary trees. It's not stressful to cut them with an axe. If they are very hard trees, it will be difficult for him to build a house. After cutting down two trees, the big banyan tree used its roots to help drag them back. Yang Shu saw several zombies staring at him with drooling, curled the corners of his lips, and took out his sickle to meet them. If he can't win, he can run away. If he wins, the crystal core will be his. Maybe the zombies are also devouring each other. The three he met this time are obviously stronger than the one he just met, and they have learned to cooperate. If Yang Shu hadn't learned the footwork, he might not have gained much advantage. Yang Shu panted heavily and stared at the three light green crystal cores in his hand. A gust of wind came from behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw a zombie suspended in mid-air, with its head pierced by a tree root, and its hands and feet were still moving. The sickle cut off the head without hesitation, took out the crystal core and washed it with water. The tree root wanted to get closer but hated the blood of zombies, so it hesitated to move. Yang Shu grabbed the tree root that pierced the zombie's head and washed it with water, "Thank you, Rongrong." "So comfortable~" The big banyan tree's voice was very rippling. Yang Shu: "..." After a lot of harvest, when he arrived at the Devil's Forest, Yang Shu first took out the flint bowls, chopsticks, knives, wooden racks, wooden basins, and small iron pots, boiled water to pluck the chicken feathers, kept the chicken blood, and threw away the internal organs. The big banyan tree considerately threw the pheasant's feathers and the soil where the internal organs were into the grass not far away. Yang Shu took a look and saw that there was not even any hair left. After washing it clean, simply chop it a few times, throw it into the pot and cook it, and add some ginger and salt. The thing that was most in short supply in the Devil's Forest was dry branches. The two chicken poplars were not all cooked, and one was left in the space. If it was left outside, it would quickly go bad in this weather.

The fragrant chicken soup, plus a bowl of soft rice. Yang Shu had even eaten stone rice before, and the food he had in Dongping Village was not the worst. It left a deep impression on him. The main reason was that it was the first time he had eaten half-cooked rice in the three years since he had the space. Looking at the rice he cooked, he felt a little sad.

There was a time limit for slowing down time in the space. Yang Shu slowed down time specifically for cultivation, so he naturally would not waste too much time on other things. Therefore, most of the food he ate was vegetables and fruits. After cooking, he did not have much time to taste the food. He just stuffed it into his stomach and it was done.

Sitting on a small stool and eating slowly, Yang Shu felt a little emotional. I don't know if it's because the water used to cook the meat is different, the chicken is not as hard as the one he ate in Dongping Village. It's not tender, it's just ordinary chicken.

After eating and drinking, he put all the food into the space and sawed wood with a saw. It was not the first time that Yang Shu built a house by himself. Since he was a child, his brother and sister-in-law had said that he was a star of misfortune and would bring death to his parents. No one in the village dared to associate with him. Only the village chief's wife could not bear to see him and helped him. He survived with difficulty. Later, when the family split up, they gave him a piece of land. No one was willing to build a house for him. At that time, he had no money and could not find anyone to help him on credit. Yang Shu had to build a small wooden house by himself.

Before, he borrowed the tools for building a house from the village chief's house. Later, when he had money, Yang Shu bought a new set for the village chief's family and bought two sets for himself. He was worried about having nothing in his hands. Even though he could eat and wear warm clothes, Yang Shu still habitually saved food. When he moved, he put all the sheets and bedding into the space early, and even the salt jar and flint were not spared . If the small wooden house could be moved, he would put it into the space without hesitation.

After sawing the wood in an afternoon, Yang Shu's strength was several times greater than before, and he didn't feel much effort to do this kind of work.

The big banyan tree brought a lot of stones and bags of cement, saying that no one wanted them, so it got them from the abandoned village in the east. It also directed several of its younger brothers to get them.

Yangshu wondered what cement was, and after searching for information, he smiled, with two shallow dimples on his baby face, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Rongrong is really amazing."

The big banyan tree twisted shyly and sang loudly.

After listening to it for a long time, Yangshu actually felt that it was a bit brainwashing, and unconsciously hummed along.

The daytime is half as long as the nighttime. Yangshu had this feeling before, as if the sun would never go down. Thinking of the unusual coldness at night, he decisively decided to go to the space to sleep and come out after the cabin was built.

☆ 8. Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Cement is a very useful thing.

After Yang Shu came to the other world for more than half a month, he sincerely felt that the people in this world were really smart.

What made him even more impressed was that the broken roots of the big banyan tree regenerated the small banyan tree, bringing vitality to the Devil Forest, and the dry land became moist after a rain. The big banyan tree's approach gave Yang Shu inspiration. Since the small banyan tree can survive under the irrigation of the spiritual spring, he can also grow some vegetables here. Anyway, the zombies dare not come. After clearing the zombies and powerful mutants here, the space should be able to be upgraded successfully.

There are vegetables, land and houses. This is also in line with Yang Shu's thoughts when he first came here. It's not bad to live here. If you get tired of it in a few years, you can go out for a walk.

Cement, stone and wood built a fairly solid house. It's not very big, a slightly larger house, a kitchen not far away opposite, and a pit farther away.

The big banyan tree would send him something every day, such as toilet paper, a big bag, pots and pans, various clothes, and something called a washing machine. Because there was no electricity, Yang Shu euphemistically said that if he couldn't use it, he would just put it in the space. The next day, the big banyan tree dragged a generator to him, but they didn't know how to use it, so they had to give up.

After finishing the wooden house, Yang Shu began to clean up the zombies. Just after leaving the forest, a fireball flew over. Yang Shu dodged and shot an arrow at it, hitting his forehead. After a moment of hesitation, the sickle cut his neck. The action seemed to have been practiced thousands of times. In short, the effect of the practice was not bad.

After finding a dozen crystal cores, Yang Shu walked back with a sickle humming a little tune. When he arrived at the wooden house, the food in the bowl on the window was gone. He curled his lips, sat on the bed as if he didn't see it, and took out the colorful crystal cores in the bag to look at them. There were few small crystal cores, which meant that there were few level one zombies, more level three zombies, and the most were level two zombies. This was not a good sign.

Just as he was thinking, a branch of the banyan tree stretched out from the window, and a voice came into his mind: "Yang Yang, I saw a snow-white horse, very strong and beautiful."

"Mutated beast?" Yang Shu thought about it. He really needed a horse. The deeper the banyan tree took root, the more difficult it would be. If it cut off its roots, its strength would be weakened. If a stronger mutant beast came, it would be like losing a helper.

Finally, he looked at the empty bowl in the window. The horse was very fast, better than other mutant beasts. Compared with a beautiful and strong horse, a mutant beast with such a small appetite and so difficult to catch, Yang Shu chose to catch the horse.

Putting the crystal core into the space, Yang Shu flew quickly in the direction pointed by the banyan tree. The horse actually entered the blood-sucking grass. He hoped that when he arrived, the horse had not been sucked into jerky.

Yang Shu could easily get through the blood-sucking grass now. His speed was faster than that group of grass, and he ran out before the grass could react. As long as he didn't stop, the grass wouldn't notice it, and even if he did, it couldn't catch up. Moreover, the roots of the banyan tree led the way, so the small grass dared not approach.

After arriving at the place, Yang Shu successfully saw the snow-white horse. There was not a single blade of grass left on the ground under the iron hoof. The blood-sucking grasses were swaying around, intending to wait for the white horse to run out of strength and then rush over to suck it dry and the human on the ground who was about to become a corpse.

The white horse neighed when it saw Yang Shu, and ran around anxiously. It wanted to get closer but was afraid that the grass would be harmful to its owner.

A young man with blood all over his body was lying on the ground, holding a badge tightly in his hand. His overly delicate face was a little immature and pale due to blood loss, but it added a touch of morbid beauty.

Yang Shu looked at him for a while, walked over and poked his face. The man frowned and half-opened his eyes. The blue eyes were more beautiful than the most beautiful gems in the box dragged by the banyan tree.

The boy opened his mouth, Yang Shu thrust a finger into his mouth, fed him a lot of spiritual spring water, and finally lifted him up with a smile, pulled the reins of the white horse, said to follow him, and ran away.

The white horse cried out, followed Yang Shu and ran away, like a white lightning, wherever it went, the blood-sucking grasses gave way.

Yang Shu was more relaxed when he returned than when he came. As for the half-dead boy, he said that if he was saved, he would be his man, and if he died, he would be buried, and it would not be a loss to get a white horse.

When he returned to the wooden house, Yang Shu stripped the man of his clothes, took out the things he was holding in his hand and put them aside, and then wiped the wounds with spiritual spring water. He had no medicine, and it was a good thing for the boy to survive, but if he didn't survive, he had tried

his best. Yang Shu stared at the man lying on the kang, expressionlessly reached out and touched the six-pack abs that looked very tempting, and the touch was not bad. After touching for a while, he suddenly felt that his behavior was a bit obscene, coughed dryly, and took his hand back as if nothing had happened.

The boy didn't have many deep wounds. There were only ten whip marks, and the rest were caused by thick needles. The wounds were almost all on the front and back, and the legs...

Yang Shu gently pinched the boy's kneecap. Even though he was in a coma, he shivered reflexively. The kneecap was broken, and their best doctor couldn't save it. He touched the shoulder blade again, and it was also broken.

Tsk. What else can we do if we save him?

Yang Shu pursed his lips and looked at the face, and felt it was a pity that the boy died or became disabled. Forget it, for the sake of his good face and figure, he would be merciful and keep him alive. Anyway, he didn't need a bite of food.

The weather was very hot, Yang Shu took out one of his coats from the space and covered the boy with it, opened his mouth, fed him some spiritual spring water, and stared at his face for a long time before going out.

As soon as he went out, the white horse ran over, rubbed Yang Shu hard, and kept humming.

"Okay, your master is not dead yet. I will boil medicine for him now. You be quiet." Yang Shu patted the white horse's neck, took out a bucket, put half a bucket of water for the white horse to drink, and praised the pet in his heart and went to boil medicine with his master.

There is no medicine in this world, but Yang Shu still has a few packets of herbs. He is also trying his best. Anyway, he is injured like that, so it doesn't matter if he drinks some medicine.

It must be said that the boy's life is still very strong. After taking the medicine and wiping the spring water again, he opened his eyes the next morning.

The blue eyes looked at the paws that were placed on his chest and touched it from time to time. The eyes were quite complicated. The face that always had no expression at this moment concealed his unspeakable mood very well.

Luo Tianrui thought he would never see the rising sun again, but he didn't expect that when he woke up, he saw a man touching his chest in his sleep. No matter how calm he was, he couldn't hold it anymore.

The temperature gradually rose, and Yang Shu's whole body felt like it was on fire. He had no choice but to open his eyes. His hands touched the boy unconsciously twice. This feeling... is not right.

After he was completely awake, Yang Shu found that his hand was on the boy's chest. He kicked off the quilt and touched the boy's abdominal muscles a few more times before retracting his claws.

Luo Tianrui: "..." So it was not accidental but intentional?

Yang Shu hummed a little tune and changed his shorts into long pants. He combed his long hair and tied it behind his head casually, and pushed open the wooden window. Before going out, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked back and saw that the boy who had just been rescued yesterday was looking at him with a pair of blue eyes, which were crystal clear in the sun.

"Awake?" Yang Shu walked over again, sat on the bed and touched the boy's forehead. It was not hot.

"Yeah." Luo Tianrui looked at this baby-faced man and didn't know what he felt. He said he was grateful, but he just took advantage of him and said he wanted to beat him up, and he did save him.

Yang Shu looked at him for a while, "My name is Yang Shu, I'm your savior, remember?"

Luo Tianrui's eyes became much colder, his voice was a little hoarse: "Well, what do you want?" "

The grace of saving my life should be repaid with my body. I don't mind that you are a cripple. I quite like your face and figure. You

can marry into my family." Yang Shu was not discussing with him, but just informing him. Luo Tianrui swallowed all the words he had prepared, thinking that this person recognized his identity and said that, but he didn't expect that he wanted him to pay with his body.

His face was touched, and he heard the man who called himself Yang Shu say: "You look younger than me, what's your name and how old are you?"

After a while, Luo Tianrui replied: "I'm Luo Tianrui, eighteen years old."

To be precise, he was eighteen and a half. Luo Tianrui told Yang Shu his identity and age just to make him think again. There were so many things he could get by handing him over, and there was no need to pay him with his body. Although he didn't have a woman he liked, it didn't mean that he liked men. It was too hasty to settle the most important thing in his life.

"Four years younger than me..." Yang Shu touched his chin and seemed a little distressed, just looking at Luo Tianrui's face. It was not easy to fall in love with someone, why is he so young? Luo Tianrui's face was a little tender after he fainted, but no one would think he was young because of the aura he exuded after opening his eyes. He thought that this person was just like him, just with a tender face, but he didn't expect it to be really tender.

After struggling with his eyes for a while, Yang Shu sighed, stroked his cheek and said, "It's okay to be smaller, I don't mind, we all slept together last night. Be good, accept your fate."

Luo Tianrui: "..."

"My hands and feet are disabled, the crystal core is broken, and the spiritual domain is destroyed. You... really don't mind?" Even the Luo family would mind raising a disabled person, so would a man who just met and liked his face not mind?

Yang Shu blinked and reached out to touch him below. If Luo Tianrui couldn't move, he would definitely kick him.

"Very energetic, it's okay, as long as this can still be used, we can see if the rest can be used later." Yang Shu retracted his hand, very calm.

Luo Tianrui: "..."

Where the hell did this weirdo come from? A faint blush appeared on Luo Tianrui's pale face, and his already delicate face became more charming, tempting people to commit crimes at all times.

After Yang Shu thought that this person was already his, he lifted Luo Tianrui's chin and kissed him on his thin lips, "Good boy, be obedient and you will have meat to eat every day."

Luo Tianrui was so angry that he looked up for a while. Just when he was about to say something, Yang Shu suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot to brush my teeth. Sorry, I'll kiss you after I finish brushing my teeth."

After saying that, Yang Shu left. Luo Tianrui didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Finally, he closed his eyes silently, intending to turn a blind eye to it.

Yang Shu didn't give him this opportunity. After a while, he came in with a basin of water and lifted the clothes covering him. "Oh, the wound is almost healed. It should be all healed after wiping it."

Luo Tianrui looked at Yang Shu busying around and said softly, "Thank you."

It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. No matter why Yang Shu saved him, it's a fact that he saved him. If someone in Kyoto saw him like this, let alone rescue him, it would be good if they didn't take the opportunity to stab him. Thinking of this, Luo Tianrui laughed sarcastically.

☆ 9. Chapter 9

Chapter 9

"You're welcome. You're mine anyway, so I should take care of you." Yang Shu brought him a bowl of water, "Drink it."

Luo Tianrui drank the bowl of water from Yang Shu's hand. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the aching internal organs were relieved a lot, and it didn't seem to hurt so much. But... he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Yang Shu cleaning the house, "Ahem... that, Yang Shu."

"Hmm?" Yang Shu looked back at him with a puzzled look.

"Where is the toilet?" In the past, Luo Tianrui would not feel awkward at all, because they were all men. But after the kissing incident, he felt very uncomfortable asking about it again, after all, he was facing someone who had improper thoughts about him.

Yang Shu understood, "There is a toilet, but you can't go there now. Do you want to crawl over there with your hands? I'll find you a urine bucket."

Luo Tianrui was silent for a long time, and thousands of words turned into a sigh.

Bai Ma may have heard the voice of his master, walked to the window and called, and looked at the master on the bed with a pair of watery big eyes gently.

"Bai Xue, I'm fine." Luo Tianrui said gently.

After Bai Xue confirmed that her master was fine, she shouted again happily.

The gray-brown tree roots crawled in from the window. Luo Tianrui's pupils shrank, and he relaxed a little when he found that Bai Xue didn't react.

The tree roots crawled to the bed and carefully rubbed the back of Luo Tianrui's hand. The big banyan tree muttered outside, no wonder Yang Yang likes this human, he is so beautiful, more beautiful than a white horse.

Suddenly, the tree roots were hit, and the big banyan tree immediately shrank back. Yang Shu's head popped out of the window, "Rong Rong, this is my man, don't touch him."

Big Banyan Tree: "Yang Yang doesn't like me anymore QAQ..."

Yang Shu shook his head. After getting along for so long, he could tell whether the big banyan tree was really sad or pretending to be sad to gain sympathy. He helped Luo Tianrui up. At this point, he was quite tall, a full head taller than him, so Yang Shu was more satisfied.

Luo Tianrui also knew that his legs were not strong enough, and closing the doors and windows was already giving him face. He put some water in the bucket. After he finished peeing with a slightly red face, Yang Shu helped him lie down on the bed naked and covered him with clothes.

After taking the bucket out, Yang Shu said at the window that he was going to cook porridge. If there was anything, he would shout and then there was no sound.

Luo Tianrui moved his head and saw a familiar badge on the wooden table next to him. He moved his fingers and stopped helplessly.

Really... useless?

Luo Tianrui could clearly feel his broken core, which was surrounded by gray and dead air. He kept killing zombies and mutants, and kept upgrading. He didn't die at the fifth level, but was betrayed by the people he trusted and became a waste. Ha! How ridiculous.

When the zombies first appeared, he ran to the front line when he didn't have superpowers. He tried hard to protect the country and prove himself, but he ended up like this because of something that didn't exist. After he got into trouble, none of his relatives and friends who he thought were good to him were willing to save him. In the end, it was the little girl he had accidentally saved before who let him go and died in the mouth of the mutant beast. He didn't even know her name.

Luo Tianrui clenched his hands slightly. The feeling of powerlessness did not make him despair, but aroused his hatred. Even if he was useless, he would let those people go to hell with him!

Why should he be half dead here? Why do those who use, eat, drink and betray him live happily? Why? Why!

The death aura permeated his whole body. Bai Xue sensed a hint of danger outside and hurried to Yang Shu who was scooping porridge. She dug her hooves on the ground and wanted to pull Yang Shu's sleeves, but was afraid of spilling the porridge. Don't doubt it, the mutated animals have high IQs.

"What? Don't worry, your master is fine." Yang Shu brought two bowls of porridge into the house. He frowned when he saw the black air on Luo Tianrui's body, "Little Ruirui?"

Hearing the voice, Luo Tianrui came back to his senses. After realizing what Yang Shu was calling, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the black air around him dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. If Yang Shu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that black air could appear on a person.

Is this his ability? Yang Shu had never seen such a situation before. After seeing that the person was fine, he was more certain that it was just a supernatural power. "The porridge is still hot. Let's talk first."

Yang Shu put the porridge on the table, helped the person sit up, sat on the bed, supported his chin with one hand and looked at Luo Tianrui, "Where do you live? Is there anyone else at home? How many acres of land do you have at home... uh, how is your family's financial situation?"

Luo Tianrui lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, "I live in Kyoto, I have a father, an older brother and a younger brother, and my family's financial situation is okay. However, they should hope that I die outside. You can get a few bags of rice by sending me there, and they may give some other gifts for the sake of gossip people."

"Hope you die outside?" Yang Shu looked sympathetic, "They don't want you, but I do. In this case, let's save the betrothal gift, and we won't visit relatives during the holidays. You can just follow me peacefully." Luo

Tianrui's expression almost cracked. Could it be that he asked so many questions just to consider whether to give a betrothal gift and visit relatives during the holidays? He asked himself that he could see through many people, but this was the first time he couldn't understand what kind of person Yang Shu was. Who would ask him to marry her after only knowing her for one day, including the coma?

"I don't know your past. You can tell me when you want to. Anyway, you just need to be clear that you are mine from today. I don't like people lying to me. You can choose not to tell, but you can't lie. If you betray me, I will make you die miserably. Don't make me angry, understand?"

Seeing Yang Shu threatening with a white and tender baby face, Luo Tianrui felt much better, and the corners of his lips rose slightly. "What about you? Will you betray me if you meet someone prettier than me?"

Yang Shu blinked at him, "No."

Luo Tianrui looked straight at him. The two looked at each other for a long time, and the sound of gurgling interrupted their gaze.

Yang Shu looked at Luo Tianrui's belly teasingly. The latter had a blank expression and his face was thicker than before.

"Okay, I'll feed you first." Yang Shu picked up the bowl of porridge, scooped a spoonful and tested the temperature with his lips. After finding that it was not too hot, he handed it over, "Open your mouth."

Luo Tianrui was actually a bit of a germaphobe. The fragrance of the porridge made him even hungrier. He glanced at Yang Shu and opened his mouth, ate a spoonful of porridge and then another spoonful. The fragrant and soft taste had already reached his stomach before he had time to savor it carefully. After finishing a bowl of chicken and vegetable porridge, he looked at the empty bowl and tried his best to control his urge to pounce on it and lick it.

"Where did this come from?" Luo Tianrui couldn't help asking.

Yang Shu smiled slightly, "Secret."

Luo Tianrui: "..."

Seeing that the future little husband seemed unhappy, Yang Shu explained a few more words: "We are not very familiar with each other now. I will tell you when we are fully cooked. Don't say that you don't have any secrets. I won't believe it now."

Hearing this, Luo Tianrui smiled. This was very realistic. It was the fact. It was better to make it clear than to stab a soft knife in the back. He had nothing to be angry about. "Okay, let's talk after it's cooked."

"So good." Yang Shu raised his hand and touched the silly hair on Luo Tianrui's head, and poured the whole bowl of porridge into his mouth. "It's quite safe here with Rongrong here. I'm going to clean up the zombies around, you take good care of your injuries."

Before taking the bowl of porridge out, Yang Shu suddenly remembered something, turned back and grinned at him, "I'll be back every half an hour, don't hold it if you want to pee."

Luo Tianrui wanted to raise his hand to wipe his face, but unfortunately he couldn't move his hands and had to give up. He thought, if he was with Yang Shu in the future, he would have to be thicker-skinned, otherwise he would die of shame sooner or later.

To be honest, Yang Shu was very good to him, he didn't hold on to him being a useless person, nor did he poke his heart from time to time. For the first time, Luo Tianrui felt that his face was very useful...

Unable to move his hands and feet, Luo Tianrui looked at the beam and thought a lot. He calmly reviewed his life in the past ten years and suddenly realized that it was a joke. Some things that he didn't have time to think about, and things that he didn't want to think about, popped up from some corner of his head.

Awakened superpowers are usually within the five elements, even derivatives are still within the five elements. Precognition... is there really such a superpower?

After Luo Tianrui's strength increased, he was exposed to more research results, and he knew what others knew and didn't know. There was a doctor who studied superpowers. A few months after the doomsday, only his eldest sister-in-law had a special superpower that was not within the five elements. What made him feel even more wrong was that superpowers were not very powerful in the early stages. It was too ridiculous to be able to predict the doomsday and the exact day. However, the situation was almost the same as that person said, and several major events were predicted accurately, so he didn't think much about it.

If what the people who arrested him said was true, that sister-in-law was too scheming. On the one hand, she cared for him very much, but on the other hand, she leaked his whereabouts to the enemy, and even killed most of the strongest superpower team to kill him. What good would this do for that person? He

thought a lot of things in a mess. During this period, Yang Shu came back once, the purpose was to give him water and feed him another bowl of water.

I don't know where the water came from, it's sweet and can reduce fire. Every time Luo Tianrui couldn't control the hatred in his heart, a bowl of water would always calm him down. After drinking it a few times, Luo Tianrui, no matter how stupid he was, realized that something was wrong with his body. He seemed... to become very irritable.

Not only Luo Tianrui discovered this, but Yang Shu also discovered it. As soon as he came back, he could see the black air wrapped around people, which became more and more dense. Although Luo Tianrui added a touch of evil charm in a ball of black air, it was more heart-warming to look at, cough...but Yang Shu was still a little worried. What kind of disease is this?

As a person with strong self-control, he also has a strong desire to control his body. The occasional loss of control of his body made Luo Tianrui remain silent until he could come up with a solution or regain control of his body.

The illness came without warning. When Yang Shu finished making dinner and entered the house, he saw Luo Tianrui struggling to death like a stranded fish. He bit his lower lip until it bled, his pupils were dilated, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his immobile hands and feet were shaking.

What frightened Yang Shu was that the pair of blue eyes seemed to fade and slowly turned gray, the same color as the eyes of the zombies he killed today.

☆ 10. Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Yang Shu looked at Luo Tianrui without saying a word. He had previously forced himself to drink several bowls of spiritual spring water, and his eyes regained some blue color, which then gradually faded... After repeating this cycle, they turned white again, but this time they were not grayish white, but silvery white.

When his eyes completely turned silvery white, Luo Tianrui stared at the roof with a dull look.

The wooden house was terribly quiet. Yang Shu was not sure whether Luo Tianrui was a human or a zombie at this moment. If he was a zombie, he would probably pounce on him in a while, and it didn't matter if his hands and feet were disabled.

Yang Shu stared at the pale and delicate face and was slightly absent-minded. If Luo Tianrui was really a zombie, he would definitely bite off a large piece of meat if he pounced on him at this moment.

After a long time, Luo Tianrui still did not react, and Yang Shu's hand holding the axe loosened a little.

The pair of silvery white eyes suddenly turned to look at him, and Yang Shu's expression was stern, and he almost raised the axe to chop him.

Luo Tianrui's lips moved a few times, with dried blood on them, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you."

Yang Shu heard that his tone was still rational, so he was slightly relieved, "What's wrong with your voice?"

It was so hoarse, he must have shouted before, but Yang Shu didn't hear him humming since he came back, which was very abnormal.

Luo Tianrui's eyes dimmed a little, and he whispered: "Actually... I shouted for a long time."

Because no one came, when Yang Shu came back, he was already in so much pain that he couldn't speak, otherwise his lower lip would not be bitten but bitten off, and the most he could do was just frown, so it might not be very painful in Yang Shu's eyes.

"Why did it suddenly become like this?" Yang Shu guessed, "Have you been bitten by a zombie?"

Luo Tianrui looked at his right wrist in silence, there was still a faint mark there. "Maybe I was bitten, I don't remember it clearly at the time, and I forgot about it later."

Yang Shu nodded to show his understanding. After all, he was a semi-conscious injured person. After escaping and being rescued for a night, who would remember the bite when he was injured? It was good enough to remember where the bite was made.

"So what's your condition now? Are you a human or a zombie?"

Luo Tianrui was silent for a moment: "I don't know."

He really didn't know. He was conscious now and could control his behavior, but... Luo Tianrui felt that Yang Shu's whole body exuded a sweet smell, and he looked very delicious. This was definitely not normal.

Yang Shu stared at him for a while, then leaned over and lay on Luo Tianrui's chest.

The sudden action made Luo Tianrui stunned, and he subconsciously wanted to push the person away, but after smelling the aroma of meat, he became dazed for a moment and swallowed his saliva.

After a while, Yang Shu looked at him thoughtfully, "I'm not sure if you are a human being. There shouldn't be a normal person whose heart beats once every thirty beats, right? Hmm? What's with that look in your eyes? Are you hungry?"

Yang Shu suddenly realized that the way Luo Tianrui looked at him was very similar to those of the victims during the drought, whose eyes were almost glowing green with hunger. The only difference was that Luo Tianrui had good self-control and was not particularly explicit. However, with his current physique, he would notice even if a stranger who was close to him stared at him a few more times, not to mention that he had been paying attention to Luo Tianrui.

Luo Tianrui tore his eyes away from Yang Shu with difficulty, "I think I really want to...bite you."

Yang Shu didn't pay much attention to his words, just lying on him, kneading here and there, "It's not stiff yet, is it because your original ability level is high? Wait until your heart stops beating completely before you become a real zombie?"

The white baby face swayed in front of him, and the sweet smell was an irresistible temptation. Luo Tianrui opened his mouth slightly and took a few breaths. The veins on his forehead were throbbing. When he finally couldn't help but take a bite, his lower jaw was pinched by a hand, and a finger was pushed in.

Under Luo Tianrui's shocked eyes, the clear spring water slid down his tongue into his throat and went down, and the feeling of extreme hunger was relieved a lot. After

the spring water was gone, Yang Shu seemed to touch the tip of his tongue inadvertently before taking his hand back.

"Just keep it like this for now, before your face rots." Yang Shu said in a gentle tone that made people's backs creep.

Luo Tianrui was a little amused, "Do you like my face so much?"

"To be precise, my body. I have seen many handsome men, but you are my type, strong and handsome. I have only met you in all these years. It would be a pity if you died." Yang Shu paused after speaking, "Is your saliva and blood not poisonous?"

Luo Tianrui was slightly stunned, and after thinking seriously, he said, "I don't know."

Yang Shu frowned a little unhappy. She could only look at her husband who could not be used or work, and could not warm the bed even if she hugged him. It was a disadvantage to keep him. It would be more convenient to keep a portrait of him. She could look at him when she liked him and take him with her anytime and anywhere. Looking

at Yang Shu's eyes, Luo Tianrui immediately understood what he meant. Why did the other party save him? Isn't it because he has a good face and a good figure that can be used as a human figure? Now I don't know if he has any virus, I can only look at him. If his body is stiff in the future, he can't even warm the bed. He has to be fed, helped to go to the toilet, and helped to brush his teeth and wash his face. Thinking about it this way, he seems to be really worthless.

There is Rongrong for chatting and Baima for transportation. Yang Shu thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what else he could do with Luo Tianrui. Even if he could use him now, he didn't dare to use him. But he

couldn't bear to give up his face. Whether he would be abandoned or not depended on how attractive his face was. Luo Tianrui never thought that he, who always made a living by his fists, would one day be reduced to making a living by his face. The problem was that Yang Shu looked at his value like a commodity. He didn't feel angry, but just helpless.

After being stared at for a long time, Luo Tianrui held it in for a long time. Seeing that people seemed to be abandoning him, he had to say: "We have something called condoms here."

"I know, it's impossible to have children." Yang Shu was not very smart or stupid. He digested most of the information that Xiao Qi stuffed into his brain. Except for some deep-rooted habits, he was now like a modern person. At least he knew about daily necessities.

Have children? Luo Tianrui was confused. He had this ability? "Are you a woman?"

"Aren't only women able to have children?" A guy like him can also have children, but it's just not easy to have children.

Some special powers can also allow men to have children? Luo Tianrui's mind was a little confused. Don't blame

him for thinking of powers when he heard about men having children. In his world, men can't have children, at least he has never heard of it. The more Yang Shu looked at Luo Tianrui, the more he felt entangled. This was a typical case of eating without liking it but throwing it away. He was really uncomfortable when he could not move it in front of him.

Luo Tianrui could only remain silent. Perhaps his fate had been decided.

"Let's wait and see. If you become a zombie, your hands and feet should be able to move. Try it?" Yang Shu touched the muscles that felt very good with nostalgia before getting up from Luo Tianrui.

Luo Tianrui tried it and moved his arm slightly. He said, "Small movements are OK, but large movements are not OK. There is almost no pain."

Obviously, even if it is a zombie, it is the weakest zombie, no doubt about it. Even if the newly turned zombies have lost their limbs, they can pounce on people and bite them, but Luo Tianrui's body is no different from ordinary people except that he has no pain. Oh, there may be a virus.

"You..." Yang Shu didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "Very unlucky."

Luo Tianrui pulled the corner of his lips stiffly. Yang Shu and the surrounding scenery in his sight seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, but the sweet smell was more obvious. Perhaps, this is the world in the eyes of zombies?

The black death aura became stronger and stronger. Yang Shu sighed and took out a large bathtub from the space. It was mostly filled with spring water. He held Luo Tianrui and put him in it. He patted Luo Tianrui's head, who was still a human or a corpse, and

said, "Try it. If it doesn't work, I can't do anything. If you really turn into a zombie, I'll dig out your crystal core." Luo Tianrui's eyes were quite complicated, but he still said honestly, "I don't have a crystal core anymore."

"Huh?" What does it mean to have no crystal core? Yang Shu didn't react for a while.

"My crystal core is completely broken." Otherwise, why would it be so painful? It was because the crystal core had already begun to break before Yang Shu came over, and the whole brain was hurting, as if it was about to explode. Even if he could move, his supernatural power would be completely useless. How could there be supernatural power without a crystal core as a carrier?

Yang Shu looked at him with a little disdain, "Then wash off the virus and be my husband. You don't have a crystal core, so don't turn into a zombie, do you hear me? Otherwise, I will lose a lot."

"... I will try my best."

The cold spring water in the bucket seemed to be less, Luo Tianrui thought it was his hallucination, and didn't think much about it.

Yang Shu stared at his body, and Luo Tianrui felt a little uncomfortable no matter how brave he was, so he had to divert his attention and said, "The badge on the table is mine. If I really turn into a zombie, you take this to find Xu Wenqing, and he will give you my savings, which may not be much."

"Savings? Silver or gold?" Yang Shu was a little interested.

"It's jade, and the badge is also for you." This is his most important thing. He originally wanted to leave it to his future lover... Now it's the same to leave it to Yang Shu. He doesn't have anyone he likes, and he doesn't feel disgusted with Yang Shu. He is still his savior. It's ironic to say, who would have thought that the second young master of the Luo family would not be able to pay the reward for his savior one day.

Yang Shu glanced at the badge shining brightly in the sunset. "If it's a token of love, I'll take it. If it's a relic, forget it. I'm only interested in your body, not your soul."

Luo Tianrui found it a little funny. Seeing a man with a baby face telling him that he only wanted the body and not the soul, he laughed softly and felt much happier. "Yeah, I know."

The water level was dropping. It was not Luo Tianrui's illusion, because soon he saw that most of the water in the barrel disappeared. The sun was setting and the temperature was not very high. The evaporation rate could not be so fast, unless his body absorbed it, but his body did not expand. Where did it go?
