The air outside was a bit harsh, and there was no strange smell of black fog all around, but there was a lot less foul smell of the past, as if the city had become clear after all the industrial shutdowns and the crowds had left.

Xu Zhi sniffed the mist lightly, obviously there was no smell, but she wanted to smell more, when she slightly restrained this thought to slow down her breathing, Xu Zhi could feel that her throat was slightly tight, as if the addiction had not been relieved, a little unbearable, until she took a few deep breaths, this feeling was relieved, as if some kind of scarce thing in the body had been replenished, and there was no longer a rebellion.

This is too strange, even a little weird, Xu Zhi thought a lot in his head, such as whether she would become a madman faster if she inhaled too much mist, but there was no way, she had already walked into the mist, and it was inevitable to suck the mist, and compared to those, her throat was almost eager to breathe just now, and she suspected that she would even suffocate if she didn't take a big breath.

At this point, Xu Zhi could only pay more attention to whether there was any change in his body, rather than worrying about why he didn't restrain himself.

The street is very quiet, only the faint sound of Xiao Yi crawling on the ground and spitting out the core, obviously it is early in the morning when it is not dawn, and the street lamps in the city are not lit, but Xu Zhi can faintly see the appearance of the neighborhood, if it is not shrouded in black fog, she even thinks she can see more clearly.

Is the moonlight shining down through the fog?

But the daylight can't completely penetrate the overly dense black fog, so why the moonlight?

Xu Zhi didn't dwell on this problem for too long, she realized from years of self-study that she would put aside the problem she didn't understand.

The streets were a little too quiet in the early morning, and Xu Zhi walked for more than ten minutes without encountering any danger, which was somewhat unexpectedly smooth, and it seemed that there should be no monsters in this area that could stay awake in the middle of the night.

It takes about 30 minutes to walk from her original home to the old residential area behind the Bell and Drum Tower, and she has already controlled the puppy to live in the residential area yesterday, there is a house where a single woman lives, and the owner of the house is in a hurry to leave when she evacuates, and she plans to "borrow" it for a while.

As for not having a key, it doesn't matter, she doesn't go out anyway.

It is impossible for people who have left the city to come back, and then they can also ask the family to find out if there is a more suitable place in the old community, and now they will live there temporarily.

Xu Zhi moved forward while thinking, and when she passed by a certain corner, she obviously didn't hear anything and felt it, but she saw Xiao Yi suddenly look up like black lightning towards the left side and open his mouth to bite the wild dog hiding in the dark and preparing to sneak attack.

The whole process was silent, neither Xiao Yi nor the dog that was bitten to death in an instant made too much noise, Xu Zhi could only vaguely see that the wild dog's paws seemed to be thicker than ordinary dogs, and then the dog was swallowed by Xiao Yi entirely.

Xiao Yi's huge body bulged slightly, obviously he had just swallowed a whole prey alive, but in the next second, he returned to his previous appearance, and continued to guard the surroundings, as if it was just a habitual and insignificant episode.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhi had the fact that the big snake that was well-behaved like a pet in front of him was actually an excellent hunter.

The heart that has been held high since she walked out of the apartment has been slightly relaxed, and I have to admit that this scene has given her a little sense of security.

Her combat power is not higher than that wild dog, if Xiao Yi doesn't listen to her, it won't be much effort to eat her, and she will relax her vigilance because of the obedience and closeness that the other party has shown to her from the beginning, but now, this closeness finally has some true feelings in it.

There were no more accidents on the next road, she was led by Xiao Yi and came to this old residential area smoothly.

Xu Zhi can't guarantee that this residential area is safe, to be honest, there should be no absolutely safe place in this city, and the reason why he chose this place is purely because the puppy is here, so the decision was made.

When she first walked into the corridor of the residential building where the room was located, Xu Zhi stopped first, after all, there was no elevator in this old-fashioned community, so she had to let a small wheelchair carry it up.

However, as soon as she stopped, she heard a subtle voice coming from the hallway, a bit like... The sound of deliberately muffled footsteps as someone descends the stairs.

She was ready to encounter monsters here, and even planned to live in that room and let the family "clean" the neighborhood first, but she didn't expect that she would see a woman who looked normal on the first day of her stay.

The other party just came down from the upper floor, and when he walked to the corner, he met Xu Zhi, who had just entered the corridor and had not had time to get up from the wheelchair.

Since he was already in the corridor at this time, the fog was not as thick as the outside world, and the faint light from nowhere allowed Xu Zhi to see the person standing on the stairs a little, very tall, estimated to be about one meter seventy-five, wearing a high ponytail, wearing sportswear, looking like a college student, the moment he saw her, he stopped and looked at her vigilantly, and his body also reacted, and directly lifted the knife he was holding in his hand.

The eyes are not black, but the appearance of a normal person, and the expression is also normal, which is the vigilance and suspicion that strangers should have when meeting in this kind of place, especially the fear and tense body language that was revealed at the moment when he saw Xiaoyi.

Even so, Xu Zhi did not let his guard down.

Xu Zhi could guess that the other party's mood at the moment was probably quite complicated, after all, the combination of a girl in a wheelchair and a python was indeed a bit weird.

For a while, the corridor was quiet, Xu Zhi didn't move, Xiao Yi just spit out the core and stared at the woman upstairs, when he didn't face Xu Zhi, Xiao Yi was a cold-blooded beast full of oppression, which also made the woman standing on the stairs dare not act rashly, the two sides were in a subtle stalemate, and no one took the initiative to speak.

It wasn't until Xu Zhi took the initiative to control the wheelchair to retreat slightly, give way to his position, and said to Xiaoyi again: "Come here, don't scare people." ”

The air around them finally began to flow.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi obediently "carried" the suitcase and swam to Xu Zhi's side, blocking her with his body, as if he was a loyal and conscientious guard.

Xu Zhi opened his mouth not for anything else, but to test the woman's reaction.

I saw that the woman's eyes shifted to her when she spoke, and when she saw Xiao Yi so obedient, she couldn't restrain herself from showing a look of surprise and curiosity, but she quickly retracted, she stood in place and seemed to hesitate, and finally made up her mind for some reason, nodded slightly towards Xu Zhi to thank her, and then began to walk towards this side with a nervous aura.

She's going out.

Xu Zhi's eyes fell on the knife in her hand, it was not a common knife, it looked a little quaint and handsome, Xu Zhi saw it on TV, this is called Tang knife, since the other party is holding it as a weapon in his hand, it is naturally impossible not to open it, but where did she get this kind of controlled knife?

Xu Zhi found that her mentality was not particularly nervous, she watched the woman walk past her with a nervous and restrained expression.

She could even feel the jealousy of herself and Xiaoyi revealed by the other party, there was no doubt that this was a normal human being.

Xu Zhi's interest came up all of a sudden, so there are some human beings besides her who can also restrain the erosion of the fog on the spirit, so what do these kinds of people have in common?

Why did the other party stay here, and what are they going to do when they go out now?

Does she know any other normal humans?

Thinking like this, Xu Zhi said at the moment when the other party was about to step out of the corridor: "Hey." ”

The girl's hoarse and soft voice suddenly sounded in the not empty corridor, the woman's back stiffened, and Xu Zhi even felt a little solemn breath from her stiff back, as if Xu Zhi would fight back immediately if she wanted to do something.

Xu Zhi smiled: "Sister, don't be nervous, I'm just asking, do you live here?" ”

The other party turned his head to look at her when he heard this, but did not answer her question.

For some reason, Xu Zhi inexplicably thought of the "little pitiful" who didn't dare to speak out when she was slammed on the door and questioned two days ago, which is somewhat similar to the current scene.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhi felt a little funny, so he laughed along with his heart.

She didn't ignore the doubts in the woman's eyes, so she continued with a smile in her voice: "I just moved here, I don't know much, if we are neighbors, maybe we can exchange information?" ”

"You know, it's not very safe right now, and it's not a bad thing to know a little more."

After Xu Zhi finished speaking, he was a little amazed that his social skills were actually not bad?

The woman was silent for two or three seconds after listening, then nodded, and asked in a tentative tone: "Okay, where do you live, I will be back in two hours, and I will look for you when I come back?" ”

It's so vigilant that he won't even tell me where he lives.

Xu Zhi still looked good-natured, but the words he said made the woman's complexion change.

"Or did my sister tell me where you live? After all, you've seen the way I look, and it's dangerous to tell people where I live. ”

She said pitiful, but with Xiao Yi who was still obediently lying at her feet, this scene was a little weird.

The woman didn't dare to refuse anymore, so she could only tell her that she was living in the room on the left side of the third floor.

After getting the answer, Xu Zhi looked at her with a smile: "I'll see you later." ”

The woman nodded stiffly, and after meeting her, she left without looking back.

After she left, Xu Zhi sat in silence for a while, she was still thinking about what she had just done, this was the first time she had completely followed her own mind, she could say whatever she wanted, and she felt unexpectedly good, although it was by virtue of Xiao Yi's majesty, not how powerful she was, she could be called a bully, but, Xu Zhi liked this feeling a little. She began to reflect, feeling that it was the fog that affected her, which made her arrogant, and after a while, she felt that she might be a natural bad seed.

It's just that, no matter which one it is, today's level is not enough, today can threaten this woman, tomorrow may not be able to threaten others to bow to her, she still needs more and more powerful clans, and her own strength has to be improved.

As for whether that woman would run away directly, Xu Zhi didn't care too much, without her, there would be other normal human beings, and they would always meet.
