Early in the morning, Huo Dong opened the door of the villa. He was surprised to see Luo Yuan, who had not slept all night, sitting on the empty ground in front of the villa.
His face was calm, his eyes slightly closed, and he was sitting cross-legged. His hair and clothes had long been soaked with dew, and a blue long saber was inserted straight in front of him, reflecting the cold light of the morning sun. Huo Dong was so absorbed in looking that he even forgot to yawn for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Sun Xiaowu, who was in the same room as Huo Dong, had also woken up. He pulled him aside and asked curiously.
"Boss Luo is practicing outside. Let's not disturb him!" Huo Dong laughed, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
The past few days had been too abnormal. It was as if the mutated beasts had all taken aphrodisiacs. Not only during the day but also at night, there was not a moment of peace. That muffled thunderous noise even caused dust to fall from the ceiling. It was so oppressive that it almost drove people crazy.
Everything indicated that the mutated beasts in the city were experiencing a huge change. Boss Luo's reaction confirmed his suspicions.
Sun Xiaowu wanted to go outside to get some fresh air, but when he saw that Luo Yuan was really "practicing", he did not dare to go out. Among them, he was most afraid of Luo Yuan. It was like a herbivore meeting the top of the food chain. Even talking to Luo Yuan made him feel pressured. He tried his best not to bump into Luo Yuan.
"Boss Luo is really hardworking. No wonder he's so strong!" Sun Xiaowu whispered while looking at Luo Yuan through the door. "Do you think Boss Luo is practicing internal energy?"
"I'm not sure. If you want to know, why don't you ask him face to face?" Huo Dong said with a smile.
"Even if I ask, I don't think he'll teach me!" Sun Xiaowu said dejectedly.
"Boss Luo is not that kind of person. Isn't he teaching us martial arts?" Huo Dong did not dare to say anything bad about Luo Yuan. Even though he was 30 to 40 meters away and he had deliberately lowered his voice, he could not guarantee that Luo Yuan would not hear him.
Sun Xiaowu didn't dare to raise his voice, so he said in a low voice, "Bullsh * t! I've been practicing the horse stance for the past few days, but I haven't taught us anything!"
"Isn't this just the beginning? We'll definitely teach her in the future. Besides, isn't Miss Wang practicing with us?" Huo Dong advised, but in his heart, he was somewhat disdainful of him. Before he could even stand, he already wanted to run. Although he had never practiced martial arts, he knew that the basics were the most important.
"Who knows if she gave him special treatment? They slept in the same bed." Sun Xiaowu was a little disapproving, and there was some resentment in his tone.
"Shh! Don't speak carelessly. It won't do you any good. "Huo Dong frowned and took a step back.
Raising a dou of kindness, but a dou of enmity! People who took other people's good intentions for granted and began to resent their benefactor as soon as they did not get what they wanted were not good friends. He made up his mind to stay away from him in the future. If he got too close to such a person, he would be killed sooner or later.
Although it was just an unconscious complaint, such unintentional words could show a person's true nature. Chen Xianfeng, whom he had never looked down on before, was now more and more important to him. He now regarded him as his biggest competitor.
Sun Xiaowu did not take Huo Dong's warning to heart. Instead, he looked at Huo Dong with dissatisfaction and said, "I was just joking. I was just chatting with you. Do you have to be so serious?"
Huo Dong laughed and went back to his room to practice the horse stance. He did not want to talk to him anymore.
Lin Xiaoji also came out with a yawn. He glanced at Sun Xiaowu, but did not greet him. He just sat on the sofa and smoked.
"Why are you pretending? What's the big deal? You're just lucky to become an evolved person. " As Sun Xiaowu was mumbling in his heart, he saw the door open. Luo Yuan walked in silently and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Boss!" Sun Xiaowu quickly greeted him respectfully. He was a little scared by Luo Yuan's indifferent gaze. He could not help but think, "Did Boss Luo hear what I just said?"
As soon as he came in, the living room seemed to be filled with a faint sense of oppression. Lin Xiaoji, who was sitting on the sofa, felt the change in the atmosphere. His heart was beating fast, and he subconsciously stood up. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly felt a little hot and sat back down.
Luo Yuan nodded at him gently, but did not say anything.
Sun Xiaowu could not bear the pressure. He felt uncomfortable staying there, so he sneaked back to his room when Luo Yuan was not paying attention.
Lin Xiaoji secretly looked at Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan looked very serious that day. He did not smile, and he was holding the knife tightly in his hand. Even when he was sitting on the sofa, he was holding it tightly.
As he was looking at Lin Xiaoji, people came out one after another. Ning Xiaoran saw Lin Xiaoji hesitate and walked up to him with a red face. She looked like she had done something wrong and asked carefully, "Are you okay?"
Lin Xiaoji stopped looking at her. His face kept changing. He forced a smile and said helplessly, "I've told you many times, I'm okay!"
"But …" Ning Xiaoran wanted to say something.
"I'm really okay." Lin Xiaoji quickly waved his hand and interrupted her.
He was actually a little depressed.
These few days, due to the sufficient supply of level three mutated beast meat, his strength had increased rapidly. His strength had become stronger, faster, and his recovery ability had also improved. His confidence had collapsed. He had thought that even if he could not beat Luo Yuan, he would at least be stronger than the girl and Ning Xiaoran.
He had not expected to be defeated so badly when he had just tested him.
For the first time, he had looked for Wang Shishi in the name of learning from each other. Wang Shishi was a narrow-minded person. She still remembered how he had mocked her a few days ago, which was exactly what she wanted.
However, before the fight had even started, Lin Xiaoji had been frightened by the shuttle flying in the air. It was so fast that he could not even see its shadow.
Lin Xiaoji had been humiliated, and then he had looked for Ning Xiaoran. He did not want to bully her. Ning Xiaoran was obviously a gentle and timid girl. She did not look like someone who could fight at all, so he had asked her to hit him to test her ability.
Ning Xiaoran was afraid that she would hurt him, so she had refused. In the end, she had tried her best to persuade him and told him about her strong recovery ability. Ning Xiaoran had reluctantly agreed.
Lin Xiaoji had thought that he would be able to withstand it with his physique and come out unscathed, but he had never expected that Ning Xiaoran's strength would grow even faster than his. Her strength was astonishing, and more importantly, there was a strange vibration power in her body. The result was a tragedy.
He had been sent flying. His feet had left the ground, and he had flown four to five meters away before he fell to the ground. He could not get up for a long time. Ning Xiaoran was so worried that she almost cried.
Of course, no one knew about this, so they were confused. When Huang Jiahui asked, Ning Xiaoran did not dare hide anything. She kindly explained and continued to apologize.
Lin Xiaoji's face had turned as black as a pot. If he could drill into the ground, he would have done so.
Everyone laughed. Even Luo Yuan, who had been acting strangely that day, had a smile on his face, but it soon disappeared.
At this time, Cao Lin brought over the breakfast for the day. Everyone had a bowl of thick, snow-white soup. The bowls were of different sizes. Ordinary people and Wang Shishi couldn't eat that much because of their weak physique, so they couldn't eat that much.
The evolved humans, on the other hand, had big bowls filled with the internal organs of mutated beasts. Such a bowl of soup was a luxury. Recently, Luo Yuan had been hunting almost every day, so he had accumulated a lot of food. Even if he were to eat, he would not be able to finish it all.
After eating, Luo Yuan made an exception and smoked a cigarette. He called Wang Shishi and Huang Jiahui over and went to the master bedroom on the second floor.
"You've been acting weird since yesterday. Didn't you say that you could meditate anywhere? "Huang Jiahui asked worriedly." What's wrong? You can't even tell us? "
"Brother Luo, did something happen?" Wang Shishi asked in a sweet voice.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but there's no point in telling you. It's a tricky situation. We might be in danger." Luo Yuan sighed.
"What's wrong?" Huang Jiahui asked.
"The mutated beasts have started a new round of evolution. In the past few days, a few level-4 mutated beasts in the vicinity have become extremely irritable. They have taken the initiative to leave their territories and are madly killing the level-3 mutated beasts in the vicinity. One of them is not far from us.
Although Huang Jiahui did not know much about the levels of mutated beasts, she could roughly tell their strength. Luo Yuan could handle level three mutated beasts, but he had never killed a level four mutated beast. Her face turned pale as she grabbed Luo Yuan tightly, as if she would disappear the next moment. "What are you trying to do? Don't be impulsive. It's not like it's targeting us. We might not even be enough to fill the gaps between its teeth. It won't even look at us. If we can't handle it, we can hide somewhere else for a few days. "
Luo Yuan shook his head and said, "We could hide in the past, but now that we have a battle beast, it's too big of a target to hide from. It'll find us sooner or later."
"Can we let the battle beast go?" Wang Shishi suggested, her eyes red. Her hands were twisting the hem of Luo Yuan's shirt.
"Without the battle beast, we can hide for a while, but the area won't be as safe as it is now. Besides, the probability of taming a battle beast is very low. If we lose it, we don't know when we'll get another one. It's not a good idea to break one's own arm. Besides, we might be able to hide from it once, but we might not be able to hide from it again, "Luo Yuan said slowly but firmly.
The atmosphere in the bedroom was extremely depressing. Wang Shishi could not help but cry, "I won't let you take the risk. I want you to be safe."
Huang Jiahui looked at Luo Yuan with tears in her eyes. "Let's leave here. Go to the west, to Tibet, to the desert. I heard the news that there's a new city there. Let's live a peaceful life."
Luo Yuan's heart warmed, but he still shook his head and said, "It's too late. I can already feel the level four mutated beast nearby. Besides, it's a long way to the west, and I'm afraid it'll be many times more dangerous than Hedong City. We won't be able to get there unless we're strong enough. I've made up my mind. Don't try to talk me out of it. If … I mean, if I don't come back … "
Huang Jiahui panicked and quickly covered his mouth, tears rolling down her smooth face. She said resolutely, "Don't say that. If you don't come back, I won't live alone."
Wang Shishi could not stop crying. She was still too young, and death was too heavy for her. She did not know if she would have the courage to face death, but the thought of Luo Yuan dying made her feel like the world had turned into a gloomy place.
Luo Yuan moved Huang Jiahui's hand away and held it tightly. "It's better to live than to die. You have to live. Wang Shishi, if I don't come back, kill everyone here. Don't be softhearted. Then hide in the basement. There are enough supplies there to last you for three to four years. As for the future, it's all up to fate. "
These two were already the closest people to him. Luo Yuan would do anything to keep them alive. If it wasn't for the fact that he had a certain degree of confidence in this operation and that he still had a trace of bottom line in his heart, he was afraid that he would have already killed everyone.
Wang Shishi and Huang Jiahui nodded with tears in their eyes. Luo Yuan's cold words did not make them feel disgusted. Instead, they were touched.
"I want to go with you," Wang Shishi suddenly said bravely, wiping away her tears.
"I have a gun too. I want to go too," Huang Jiahui said with determination.
"You're still too weak. If you're here, you'll only affect me. Don't fight. Just stay at home and wait for me to come back!"
Luo Yuan looked at them one last time, then turned around and walked towards the door.
They did not fall to the ground until they heard the door close.
