Luo Xin's words are not exaggerated, nor are they false, he tells the truth.

Xu Wenjia and Liu Jinyu didn't say anything, these two are business elites, and quietness is the basic ability.

Sun Lijia muttered something, "Look, I said it a long time ago", "The gray mist skills outside make us evolve, and we can also evolve monsters".

After a while, Liu Jinyu was the first to speak, "Can Mr. Luo take us out of here?"

The other two women also looked at him.

"I don't know, I don't know until I try it," Luo Xin replied bluntly. "I found you by a piece of glass that fell in front of me during the previous fight, and from the conversation with you, it seems that the disaster broke out for more than a year?

After thinking about it, he added, "I just instinctively want to see the same kind, and I haven't thought about what will happen after I see it."

These words seemed a bit off-topic, but they also explained something, Liu Jinyu nodded.

Xu Wenjia spoke: "How do you want to take us away?"

Luo Xin didn't think about this question, thought about it for a while along her words, and pointed at himself after using his ability to turn into smoke on the spot and turn back into human form.

"When I use the ability, the clothes are also transformed with me, and the clothes are only worn on the body and not grown on the body, so theoretically, things that have direct contact with me can be transformed with me, but I haven't done this before, and I'm not sure if this ability will take effect on anyone other than me."

The eyes of the three women lit up, they had all seen the scene of the black smoke that Luo Xin had turned into coming out of the cracks in the wall, if they could really take someone with them, they could naturally leave with him.

"How do you want to try?" asked Xu Wenjia.

Luo Xin looked at her and raised his eyebrows, "You still forget it, Miss Sun and Ms. Liu just take two steps forward and stretch out their hands."

Xu Wenjia knew that he was afraid of the crowbar in his hand, not to mention her current strength, in the past, ordinary women could also cause fatal injuries to people when they used this tool.

"Good"

She nodded to her companion, stepped back, thought for a moment, found a table behind her, put the crowbar on it and walked back again.

She was completely unaware that the two sides were in a certain way completely reversed. Usually it should be female survivors like them who are wary of Luo Xin, rather than them taking the initiative to give in to him.

Luo Xin took off his gloves and held Sun Lijia's hand and turned into black smoke.

"Ah...... Ahh

But it's a pity that she only turned into black smoke at the position of her wrist, not her whole body, she could feel the presence of her palm, and she shook her arm a few times, watching the elongated black smoke on her wrist turn into her own hand again, and finally stabbed the black smoke that Luo Xin became.

Luo Xin regained his human form, shook his head, and went to shake Liu Jinyu's hand.

Liu Jinyu is more calm, not as jumpy as Sun Lijia. She looked at the man in front of her and instantly turned into a cloud of black smoke, she didn't feel it at all, she pulled her hand back and looked at it, there was no change in the slightest.

Luo Xin turned back, "You may have a physique that is resistant to my skills", after speaking, he took a few steps back and hooked his hand at Sun Lijia. "Come over a little"

Sun Lijia walked over, I don't know why, Luo Xin squatted, tilted his head and said: "Lie on my back and see how the effect of increasing the contact area is"

"Oh"

Of the three, she seemed the least aggressive. In response, Sun Lijia leaned on Luo Xin's back without twisting. Luo Xin grabbed her thighs with both hands and carried her on her back.

Flip it twice, adjust each other's postures, and activate the skill.

"Bang"

A cloud of black smoke rose, and in the smoke, a female body with no head, no hands, no legs, and only half separated from it, fell to the ground, and the section was filled with black smoke.

The black smoke swirled, and the part of the body that disappeared, including the clothes, was rapidly returning to its original state, first the torso, then the hands and feet, and finally the face.

Xu Wenjia and Liu Jinyu gathered around.

Luo Xin looked at the former, took a step back diagonally, stood behind Sun Lijia, and said to her, "Are you okay, do you feel abnormal in your body?"

Sun Lijia shook her head, with an excited look, Xu Wenjia and Liu Jinyu knew it was okay when they saw her expression, and Liu Jinyu reached out to pull her up.

The two wanted to say something, but Luo Xin preemptively said, "Uh...... The cost of using skills with people is quite large, and the time I can be active in the outside world today is almost reaching the limit, so let's talk about it later."

With that, put on the mask and gloves, and disappeared directly into black smoke into the cracks in the wall.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Luo"

"Luo Sheng, please stay"

"Hey, hey, how do you say you're leaving?"

The three women hurriedly called, waited for a while, did not respond at all, and finally looked at each other.

"Why is this person like this, just leave," Sun Lijia said angrily.

Xu Wenjia put down the arm covering her chest, "Maybe it's because of what you said before, this person is very vigilant and has been guarding against me."

Liu Jinyu pinched her waist with one hand, moved her shoulders and waist bones, "Well-it's also related to the two of us"

Xu Wenjia: "???"

Liu Jinyu explained, "Do you remember what he said a lot about the situation outside, I guess it's all true, some of us have observed it ourselves, and what we can't see, he doesn't need to lie to us, because there is no conflict with him."

Sun Lijia is not good at reasoning, blinking and listening quietly.

Xu Wenjia frowned and said, "I don't understand, you explain it carefully."

"He said he only wanted to see his own kind, and nothing else - so, he was actually a very simple but not stupid person who was very smart, and out of his heart, he told us everything he knew, but after that, what we said might have triggered his defenses"

Xu Wenjia recalled carefully and asked, "Is it because we asked him how he took us away?"

"Hmm" Liu Jinyu nodded, glanced at the dim sky outside, looked worried, turned his head and said, "You two have been close to him turning into smoke, can you feel anything else?" I mean, except that it was a cloud of smoke."

The two shook their heads.

Xu Wenjia said: "It's just a cloud of smoke, you can't feel anything"

Liu Jinyu said: "I can't feel anything, including his coming and going, maybe my ability can only feel monsters." Through these, it can be basically confirmed that there are almost no obstacles in the outside world, and those monsters do not pose a threat to him at all, and he can patrol a large area through this ability."

Xu Wenjia and Sun Lijia still couldn't grasp the point, Liu Jinyu further explained.

"Let's assume now that he's a simple and kind man, and that Riga's words have only reminded him a little bit and made him reasonably guarded," she held up a finger.

"He has a large range of motion, and there is no safe zone in his range of motion," she raised her second finger, and as she said this, Xu Wenjia finally showed a hint of abruptness.

"Before he left, he said that he had reached the limit of his time in the outside world, and it may be an excuse to reach the limit, but we can confirm that he has a refuge of his own," Liu Jinyu held up a third finger.

Xu Wenjia said: "Saving people is such a thing, saving people to a safe place is to save people, under the premise that there are no other safe places around, with his simple and kind personality, if you want to save us out, you can only send us to his own shelter."

Liu Jinyu nodded, "Before, because of Lijia's side reminder, he was just on guard, and then our language made him start to think about how to take us away, but there is no safe area around, he will subconsciously think that we can only take us to his refuge, but he can't confirm whether we are a threat to him, so he triggered his defensive psychology, and also because he can't confirm whether we are harmful to him, based on his simple and kind personality, he did not pretend to perfunctory us, and decisively chose to retreat"

Only then did Sun Lijia figure out the ins and outs, and held her head in horror: "Ah, you capitalists who play with people's hearts, I only know why I am poor now."

Still inhaling and sighing, Liu Jinyu figured out people's hearts, and Xu Wenjia, who had profound skills, rolled her eyes and looked at her, "The full price of a 500-square-meter sea-view room is embarrassed to say that you are poor?"

Sun Lijia retorted confidently: "My father bought it for me, and my personal savings are only in the early 20,000s."

Liu Jinyu flicked her head with her fingers, "Don't make trouble, let's think about how to gain his trust, I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a day."

Xu Wenjia shook her head and said in a condensed voice: "It's very ...... Difficult"

Sun Lijia touched her head and looked at the two of them.

"Hmm," Liu Jinyu nodded. "First, with his ability, he will definitely not lack supplies, second, he has a refuge that is not eroded by death, and third, judging from the fact that he decisively retreated, this man's character is very reasonable"

Xu Wenjia pondered for a moment and understood what she was referring to in the first and third points, "I didn't expect that our biggest hope now is actually pinned on the kindness of a stranger...... Hey, this damn doom."

"Is it really that difficult?" Sun Lijia recalled the apocalyptic novels she had read before.

"And what do you say?" the two asked.

"Well, according to your analysis, Manager Xu is the most threatening to him......" She grinned when she said this. "Give Manager Xu to him, according to the routine in the novel, as long as it is after that, men usually don't guard against their women, and then tell him about my ability, no matter how many materials in the city can be used for a lifetime, my ability is okay, and it can be upgraded in the future"

"What do you say...... Ghost...... Words ......" Xu Wenjia subconsciously retorted, but after thinking about it cursoryly, she was stunned, looked at Liu Jinyu, and found that she also looked at her with a surprised face.

※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※

Luo Xin didn't know that he had been deeply analyzed, and he wouldn't care if he knew.

As a teenager, he accepted that he had no talent and that there was a genius among his kind.

He was drifting along the highway out of the city.

As a former ordinary citizen, he didn't know where the "Dorsett Community" was, and it was the first time he had even heard the name.

But where Xu Jiayuan is, he still knows.

With Luo Xin's physique, he can be active in the outside world for about 6 hours a day, and the duration of [Shadow Walking] is about 4 hours, and exceeding the time limit will cause him a decline in health and permanent damage.

Today he just came out for an hour, far from the time limit.

In the [Shadow Walking] state, his movement speed is about the same as that of a medium-speed car, and he can ignore roads and obstacles, and it only takes about ten minutes to take a shortcut through half of the city to reach Xujiayuan and enter the highway.

Because he didn't know where his next destination would be, and he couldn't walk in a straight line, he honestly followed the highway.

Cities are full of cars stuck in traffic, and the same is true on highways, but there is less debris on the ground.

"There is no wrecker, this kind of road condition is difficult to walk at all, let alone driving, it is not easy to walk"

On the way, he passed by many disaster car accident sites, and when he got to the highway, the toll gate was blocked by more than a dozen container trucks, and he had to climb over the wreckage of vehicles 5 or 6 meters high to pass.

Outside the city limits, the height and density of buildings have dropped sharply, and the roads are lined with green belts and fields, but due to the dead air, the fields are empty, there are no herbaceous crops, and the hard shrubs and forest belts are still there, but there is not a single leaf left.

The gray fog seemed to be thicker than in the city, and there was a field of vision of thirty or forty meters in front of and behind, left and right, and it was impossible to see anything in the distance.

After 10 minutes of "floating", I saw a street sign 10km away from the city, the concentration of dead air began to drop, and vegetation gradually appeared on both sides of the road.

It can be clearly felt that there is another "comfortable" element in the gray fog.

Luo Xin had known about this phenomenon for a long time, and he was not surprised, besides, in his shelter in the city, the air was much more comfortable with this "ingredient".

Along the way, in addition to looking at the sides of the road, his main focus was on the vehicle's fuel tank, and his gaze was able to see through the body of the vehicle to see inside.

"The oil is all over half full, and no one has collected it, so does that mean there are still no survivors in a large area?"

He thought calmly, without disappointment.

With vegetation, other creatures gradually appeared.

Most plants are still green, and living creatures are red on their horizon, with shades of color depending on the size of the individual and the vigor of their vitality.

A beetle the size of a fist, a mouse the size of a pug, a cat the size of a leopard...... Of course, it is also possible that it is indeed a leopard, although Luo Xin has never heard of the presence of leopards in the local wild.

Except for the zoo.

Occasionally, you can see a "red" plant, and you don't need to look closely to see various insect shells and small animal bones scattered near its roots, and it is a very active "carnivorous" plant.

"Not only humans, but also animals and plants have changed, but human beings are much more adaptable and overall than animals and plants, why are there so few human survivors?"

Luo Xin stopped, and shot another one in his heart for the retreat plan of the three women.

As you can tell from the oil in the cars on the road, there are no other human survivors nearby, in other words, the surrounding villages, towns, communities or anywhere else are hostile and unsuitable for human life.

"Or is it just because all the people are dead?" Even so, even if that Dorsett community is suitable for human life, with the abilities of those three women, can they live there?"

Luo Xin pondered for a moment, showed his figure, and under the telephone pole on the side of the road.

After that, he did not leave, but re-entered the [Shadow Walk] state and waited on the sidelines.

It was only moments later that a looming red figure was caught within ten meters.

It was a mutant cat with a tail torso of about one meter and a half, and the red color was originally extremely conspicuous in his field of vision, and he was so engrossed in it that he didn't notice it at all.

It was the mutant cat that had the ability to hide its form, and he couldn't spot it.

Luo Xin said a swear word. Before the end of the world, a feline of this size would have been enough to hunt humans with its natural agility and strength alone, and now it has the special ability to stealth...... Maybe the woman named Liu Jinyu can sense it?

The big cat sniffed the telephone pole and the surrounding pavement, as if looking for the owner's whereabouts.

At this moment, Luo Xin didn't even see what was happening clearly, a shadow flashed, and the big cat bounced up more than three meters high on the spot, and the red light on his body suddenly became stronger, but when he fell, he fell to the ground, and after struggling for a while, he didn't move.

In Luo Xin's black-green vision, he could see that his neck was cut in half, and a pool of faint red light blood flowed from under his body, and the red light on his body quickly dimmed.

"Whew-"

"Wang-"

A dog barked in the distance, but Luo Xin couldn't hear it.

A figure appeared next to the big cat's corpse again, and this time he saw clearly, it was another mutant cat that was one size smaller.

The mutant cat quietly looked in the direction where the dog's barking came from, bit the back of the neck of the prey it killed, and disappeared without a trace.

If Luo Xin has hair at this time, it must be erect.

He was completely unaware of it from beginning to end, from it to coming and leaving.

"It wouldn't have been squatting here in the first place, would it? Damn, the perfect stealth ability similar to [Shadow Walking], and the cutting ability to cut through the neck of a mutant cat."

More than a dozen bright red rays of light emerged from the fog and rushed towards this direction.

The size of calves, and the way they easily crash into a car shows that they have great strength and weight, but they are a little less agile.

Closer, Luo Xin saw that it was a dozen giant dogs.

The dogs approached, struck the front few mouths quickly, licked the green cat blood on the ground, and then spun in place, their mouths opening and closing to reveal their huge sharp teeth, as if they were barking at each other.

Others went to smell the smell he had left on the telephone poles, or sniffed the ground around, but that was all, the dogs made a fuss for a while, and did not notice him in the smoke, and soon disappeared into the fog.

"Fortunately, my [Shadow Walk] is powerful...... It seems that the same species has different degrees of mutation, and cats are also talented?"

Luo Xin began to float back, having seen the previous scenes, he did not think that the three women had the ability to survive in the wild.

Therefore, there is no point in going to the Dorsett community to check the situation.

"Even if the woman named Xu Wenjia is more capable of fighting and can deal with one or two giant dogs of that kind, but a dozen of them are just a long plate of beautiful dog food, and the hunting range of carnivores is usually more than dozens of kilometers, and the sense of smell is still so sensitive."

"Hmm—because of the size of the body and the degree of mutation, even if they are of the same kind, they have to re-establish each other's position on the menu?"

He thought of cats hunting their own kind.

"So, I'd better not be sentimental, thinking that it recognizes humans and doesn't do anything to me, it even hunts its own kind, not to mention humans—or rather, because of the different directions of mutation, ordinary cats have evolved into different kinds of creatures, right?"

......

"No wonder there are so few bones on the road, all of them have been gnawed away by dogs."

"Remember that there is a hero who is invincible, and the kobold in it restrains the skeleton soldiers."
