"Wait! “
Just as Luo Yuan was about to leave, he was stopped by the beggar.
Luo Yuan frowned, turned around and asked, "What else do you want?"
The beggar glanced at the giant beast beside Luo Yuan from time to time, not daring to get close.
"About that … You just destroyed my house!" The beggar looked embarrassed and did not know what to say. Seeing Luo Yuan frown, he quickly said, "I mean, I have no place to stay now."
Luo Yuan could guess what he was thinking. He smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm from that organization?"
The beggar scratched his muddy scalp and laughed dryly. "They're not as powerful as you are."
Luo Yuan was curious and asked, "What organization are you talking about? Are they all evolved people?"
"What kind of organization is it? There are some evolved people, but most of them are just ordinary people." The beggar explained, "These people have caused me trouble a few times. That's why I misunderstood you when I saw you."
"If they want you to join them, why don't you join them? A group of people is better than fighting alone, right? "Luo Yuan asked doubtfully.
The beggar twitched his mouth in disdain. "They're just like me, hiding everywhere. At least I'm a smaller target if I'm alone."
"Don't lie to me. I want to know the real reason." Luo Yuan shook his head and said coldly.
The beggar's expression changed. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to tell the truth. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. The leader of that stupid organization stole my girlfriend.
He was a little emotional when he said that.
"At that time, when the country was in chaos, she cried and lied to me that she wanted to go back to her hometown to have a look. In the end, she didn't come back. I thought she had really died and almost committed suicide. I didn't expect to see her again a few days ago, and she was in someone else's arms. Fortunately, she couldn't recognize me now, otherwise, I don't know what I would have done.
Do you think I'm still a man if I joined this stupid organization after all that happened? "
The woman might not have been lying. Something must have happened to her. Luo Yuan did not know what to say. He could only blame himself for not keeping a close eye on her.
"The smell of blood here is too strong. I'm worried that it will attract strong mutated beasts. If you have anything, please pack it up and leave as soon as possible." Luo Yuan would not reject the evolved man's offer since he had already figured out the reason.
"It's just a pile of trash. There's nothing to pack. We can go at any time." The "beggar" was enlightened. With the strength of the person in front of him and that terrifying beast, he probably wouldn't be lacking in food and water.
"Do you want to sit on it?" Luo Yuan pursed his lips at the lizard. Since it was already carrying so many things, the lizard should be able to bear the weight of another person.
The 'beggar' shook his head repeatedly. What kind of joke was this? How would he dare to approach such a huge beast? He hurriedly said, "I'd better run. I've long since gotten used to running."
Then, he added, "It shouldn't be too far!"
"It's not far, but you've just recovered from your injury. Can your body handle it?" Luo Yuan looked at his pale face and doubted if he could still run.
"I'm fine. I'm a long-distance runner in college. This distance is nothing, nothing at all!" The 'beggar' laughed dryly.
"Alright." If he wanted to run, then so be it.
Luo Yuan agilely flipped over the lizard's back and patted it with his palm. The injured lizard slowly moved forward, limping, its bleeding body dragging a long trail of blood on the road.
The 'beggar' could still hold on at first, but within a minute, he could not. He was panting like a dog, his tongue hanging out. He wanted to lie down and stop moving. Although his self-healing ability was strong, he could not fully recover in a short period of time. Soon, he began to see stars and his limbs were weak.
He did not dare to stop, as he was afraid that Luo Yuan would leave him behind. If he was bitten to death by a low-level mutated beast, he would not be able to rest in peace. He swung his leaden legs mechanically. After some time, the giant lizard entered the residential area in front of him. He gritted his teeth and continued to run as fast as he could.
When he reached the empty space in front of the villa, he tripped and fell to the ground. He twisted his body for a while, but he no longer had the strength to get up.
The people in the villa had already come out when they heard the commotion.
"Boss Luo, who is this?" Huo Dong asked curiously.
Luo Yuan removed about 50 kilograms of meat from the lizard's body and threw the rest in front of the lizard. He walked over and looked at the 'beggar' who was struggling to get up. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I bumped into him on the road. He must be exhausted. Can anyone help him?"
Everyone looked at each other. In the end, Sun Xiaowu, who was not thick-skinned enough, ran over unwillingly and helped him up.
The 'beggar' was a little depressed. He stood up shakily. He was an evolved human, but he had made a fool of himself in front of so many people. He was too ashamed to face anyone. He just wanted to stay on the ground.
Huang Jiahui took a bottle of mineral water from the villa and passed it to him. "Drink some water."
He took the bottle, opened the cap, and drank a few mouthfuls carefully. Then he closed the cap and stopped drinking. "Thank you, thank you so much. My name is Lin Xiaoji. Sorry for troubling you."
"We're all in trouble. Let's help each other! But … you should take a shower first. You can eat in half an hour. "Huang Jiahui could not help but say when she saw him in such a sorry state.
She was being tactful, but Lin Xiaoji could tell. Lin Xiaoji blushed and could not say anything. "Okay, okay, I'll take a shower right now."
There was a water tank on the roof of the villa. It had been raining continuously recently, so the water tank was full. Although it could not be eaten, it could still be used for bathing. When he came out and changed his clothes, he realized that he was not that old. His face still looked a little childish.
When they were chatting, Lin Xiaoji admitted that he was a university student who had just started his second year. However, the situation had changed. He had stayed in the city with his girlfriend during the school holidays. He had not expected such a thing to happen.
"You can stay here from now on. There are no more empty rooms here. You can stay with … Huo Dong," Luo Yuan said. Although there was an empty room upstairs, it belonged to Wang Shishi. They would have to stay there in the future. It would be inconvenient for the three of them to stay together.
Although Huo Dong was reluctant, he could only nod when he heard Luo Yuan's words.
"Also, I have to warn you first. Evolved people here are no different from ordinary people, so don't cause any trouble," Luo Yuan said calmly. Luo Yuan said calmly. He was not familiar with Lin Xiaoji's character, so he had to warn him when the time was right.
Everyone looked at Lin Xiaoji in surprise. They had not expected him to be an evolved person.
Lin Xiaoji unconsciously puffed out his chest and said disapprovingly, "I won't bully them."
Luo Yuan could tell what he was thinking, but he did not say anything. Every evolved person had a sense of superiority. After all, they were superior to ordinary people. Even Luo Yuan felt this way sometimes, but he did not usually show it.
At this time, Huang Jiahui came over with a big plate of raw meat.
"Is everyone envious? Why can others evolve and you can't? It's not a secret. I believe many of you have heard of this rumor."
Luo Yuan's voice seemed to have a magical power. Everyone's breathing quickened. Only Lin Xiaoji and Wang Shishi were still calm.
When Huang Jiahui put down the plate, Luo Yuan picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, dipped it in some seasoning, and put it into his mouth.
Other than the internal organs, the rest of the meat was as tough as cowhide. It could not be chewed at all, so it could only be swallowed directly. Even if it was cooked, it could only be used to make soup. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Eating raw meat of level two and above has a certain chance of evolving, and this one is level three. That's all I have to say. Everyone, feel free to eat."
Luo Yuan was not worried that they did not know how to eat. The importance of strength had been fully demonstrated during the apocalypse. Even the weakest women would secretly train their bodies during normal times.
After he finished speaking, he stood up and wisely walked out of the villa. This was his first time eating raw meat, and he didn't want to see it happen again.
As expected, many people vomited. The whole living room was a mess, and there was a disgusting sour smell.
A few minutes later, a scream came from inside. Huang Jiahui rushed out of the villa and called Luo Yuan.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yuan asked.
"Ning Xiaoran fainted. She has a fever," Huang Jiahui said quickly.
"I'll go take a look." Luo Yuan was surprised. Was it possible that she had evolved after eating it once?
He was depressed. He had eaten the most, but he still hadn't evolved yet.
But no matter what, it was a good thing. One more evolver meant one more power. Even if it was insignificant, it was better than being a burden.
