Zhang Xiao looked at the doll-like army that seemed to be scared silly, then glanced at the strange man and the mutated dog slowly walking towards him, and suddenly felt a shiver!
âDonât, sir! This kid was just joking with you. We live in a lawful society, how could anyone collect tolls on the road?â
As an adult, Zhang Xiao had more experience and quicker reactions than this group of doll-like soldiers, and immediately spoke to the strange man.
The current situation was very clear; that big dog was definitely the strange man's "underling" or a summoned creature. Since the apocalypse began, many bizarre beings had appeared, and it was common for professionals to have pets or battle pets!
However, the battle pet in front of him was a bit too strong!
In front of a powerful being, being overly submissive was not out of place!
The strange man, of course, was Wen Yu. He looked at the trembling children and a bare-bottomed adult male in front of him and knew their thoughts, unable to suppress a teasing desire!
âReally donât need it? I have a bit of magic crystal.â
The doll-like soldiers shook their heads like rattling drums.
âReally donât need it!â
Seeing the fear and suppressed expressions on the faces in front of him, Wen Yu immediately lost his interest.
They were too weak; even his casual joke made them panic!
The gap in strength also meant a gap in status!
The apocalypse was even more so!
Turning around, he carefully observed the surrounding environment.
The originally dilapidated old city had become even more desolate, with traces of mutated beasts everywhere.
The low houses had collapsed by more than half, and with the rampant growth of mutated plants, strictly speaking, what used to be suburban areas could now only be considered the junction between city and forest.
Only in such a broken place could a group of children establish their territory!
Looking back at the mountains and forests behind him, a complex expression flashed in Wen Yu's eyes.
It had been nearly twenty days since he left Chaihe Town!
When he left, he, the Cyclops, and Xing were all at tier 3 peak strength.
Wen Yu's plan was to first enter the mountains and increase both his and his spirit pet's levels to tier 4.
The result was naturally successful, but the process...
There had been a small deviation!
The Cyclops was too strong!
Strong enough that the pressure it emitted was enough to alert the mutated beasts in the mountains, causing them to directly avoid the area where the Cyclops was!
As a result, during the first few days, he didnât encounter a single mutated creature in the vast forest!
But Xing didnât have such concerns!
With its small size, the range of pressure influence was reduced by dozens of times!
It wasnât until Xing explained the reason that Wen Yu finally realized!
By the time he and his two pets had risen to tier 4, nearly twenty days had passed!
And the first person he met upon exiting was a bare-bottomed man!
Wen Yu swore he just wanted to greet him, but he didnât expect this professional to be so timid!
After glancing at the doll-like soldiers and the bare-bottomed man, Wen Yu pondered for a moment and then waved at the Cyclops.
The Cyclops immediately understood Wen Yu's meaning, opened its mouth wide, and dropped the corpse of a mutated wild boar with a loud thud!
Then, in the stunned expressions of Zhang Xiao and the doll-like soldiers, Wen Yu directly reached into the mutated wild boar's skull!
As if they were not in the same time and space, Wen Yu groped inside the wild boar's head for a moment, and then pulled out a magic crystal!
A Level 2 Magic Crystal!
The magic crystal traced a beautiful parabola and directly fell into the hands of the leading boy.
âToll fee, and I want to inquire about some information!â
...
A grand barbecue party unfolded at the doll-like soldiers' camp!
The so-called camp was merely a low house, but the difference was that this house had a large underground space.
According to Zheng Ye, although there were occasionally mutated beasts like rats below, it was still safer than above!
